readSourceFiles no longer copies cli/engine into the skill; the scripts
payload is the launcher (executable bit preserved through dist, plugin/, and
universal.zip), impeccable.cmd, VERSION (synced from ENGINE_VERSION on every
build), the page JS, and command-metadata.json. Hook manifests call
`<scripts>/impeccable hook` behind an existence guard (Codex adds a
commandWindows sibling calling impeccable.cmd; Cursor runs hook-before-edit;
GitHub keeps the git rev-parse form; Grok mirrors Claude); the Node probe and
systemMessage notice are gone. build:release fetches the pinned engine for
every target (lenient) and stages bin/<os-arch>/ into the dist skill copies
after root harness dirs and plugin/ were synced, so git-delivered trees stay
launcher-only. The detection-rule count check reads the vendored
extension/detector/antipatterns.json and is skipped when absent.
build:browser is a stub; the codex prefix rewrite leaves
`{{scripts_path}}/impeccable` alone.

skill/scripts keeps command-metadata.json and the page JS; every .mjs entry
point, lib/, and live/ are gone (the binary owns those verbs). Adds the POSIX
launcher, impeccable.cmd, VERSION (copied from the new root ENGINE_VERSION),
scripts/fetch-engine.mjs (bun run fetch:engine) to pull the pinned binary
into skill/scripts/bin/<os>-<arch>/, and gitignores that bin dir.

Every `node {{scripts_path}}/<name>.mjs` becomes `{{scripts_path}}/impeccable <verb>`
(context-signals -> signals, hook-admin -> hooks). Setup step 1 drops Node, points
Windows shells without sh at impeccable.cmd, and says the launcher runs a
self-contained binary. allowed-tools follows.

process.exit() right after a large piped stdout write truncated JSON output

directory-scan goldens that had captured the truncation.

Records stdout/stderr/exit/files for every impeccable verb over a fixed
corpus and replays them against an alternate implementation. Adds a loader
hook that captures per-function call vectors from the pure engine modules.

Preserve critique trend history while closing the exact processed snapshot. Track target identity and content freshness for local files and URLs, isolate colliding streams, and prevent legacy snapshots from resurfacing after a modern close.
Validated with 50 focused tests, a clean 17-provider build, 834 core tests, passing GitHub CI and Cursor Bugbot, Greptile 5/5, and zero unresolved review threads.

The generated browser bundle is rebuilt from the merged engine sources in the next commit's build step (both branches had regenerated it).
AI-assisted (Claude Code).
Closes the residual page-inference edge (no recorded artifact, no index.html, several root HTML files) by making the conservative refusal self-correcting instead of adding more inference; the gate never falsely passes in that configuration, only asks for the page.
AI-assisted (Claude Code).
Greptile's fourth finding on the seam: the no-artifact path was depth-limited. The page default (index.html, or the one .html at the root) now applies before unreferencedPlates, so the link-following path, which is exact and unbounded, handles every build that has a page; the bounded walk is only the no-page fallback.
AI-assisted (Claude Code).
Bugbot on #599: path.resolve treated /assets/hero.css as filesystem-absolute. Both the working directory and the artifact's directory are tried; unreadable candidates skip.
AI-assisted (Claude Code).
Greptile's third P1 on the same seam: a stylesheet linked from the artifact but outside the bounded walk's root, depth, or file limit was still invisible. The hrefs the artifact itself declares are resolved against its directory and joined to the corpus, which closes every variant.
AI-assisted (Claude Code).
Greptile's follow-up P1 on #599: with --artifact set, only that HTML file was read, so a plate referenced exclusively from a linked stylesheet still read as unused. The bounded source walk now runs either way.
AI-assisted (Claude Code).
Greptile P1 on #599: unreferencedPlates read a plate referenced only from assets/hero.css as unused and the hero gate refused a valid build. The extension filter already keeps binaries out of the walk.

- keyChroma re-encodes with the PNG's tEXt chunks intact (the embedded prompt survived generation but not keying)
- organic-clip-path counts relative curve commands too (path data letters are only commands, so the match is case-insensitive)
- buried-raster normalizes percentage alphas (parseFloat('80%') read as 80) and reads 4- and 8-digit hex alpha instead of treating #rrggbbaa as opaque
- the extension-injected-node skip in checkQuality runs before any finding is pushed (a low-opacity injected raster was recorded, then returned by the skip)
- fake-mode plates carry impeccable:fake tEXt and the plates gate's crop-identity refusal skips them (fake mode IS the crop by design; the refusal is for models shipping the comp's pixels as artwork)
Findings by cursor[bot] and Copilot on PR #599; detector engines rebuilt (build:browser, build:extension).
AI-assisted (Claude Code).
CI resolves playwright but has no downloaded chromium; launch threw instead of falling back to the catalog ranking, and every spec gate downstream failed. Launch failures now return the no-browser path (and the browser test skips instead of asserting).
AI-assisted (Claude Code).
Paul's decision on the tenth sweep's design question: hard vetoes (missing region, contradicted plate or text, SVG illustration, clipped plate, invented ink) stay unconditional; at overall >= HERO_MIN the numeric readings (ink colour, letter-spacing, line pitch, strip heights, box positions) print as advisories with the pass and belong to the polish pass. Every sweep-10 sample closes its hero under this condition, which settles 07 without another paid round.
Ninth-sweep defects: codeDrawn / container / bleed now persist into spec.json with WARN lines (an overridden refusal used to vanish from the record); font-match probes os.tmpdir() and points TMPDIR at .impeccable/tmp when the sandbox /tmp is unwritable (every ninth-sweep rank silently fell back to the catalog).
AI-assisted (Claude Code).
Bugbot on PR #665: the skipScan guard emptied only the analytic
collectBrowserFindings pass, and scan()'s detached visual-contrast
stage then repopulated an ignoreFiles-waived page with contrast
markers and a second non-zero results post. Hoist the guard into
skipScanActive() and honor it in scan() and the async collector;
regenerate the browser bundle.
Adds a browser-backed regression test that reproduces the leak
(second results post carrying low-contrast findings) and pins the
zero contract; drops a tautological assert flagged in review.

serve-question answered POST /build-path with 200 and only then wrote the
flip file. The caller is a separate process, so the response could reach it
while the server was still preempted before the write landed: a poller that
trusted the 200 could look for the flip file and miss it.
Measured on a loaded machine, the old order lost that race 29 times out of
40; writing first and answering after loses it 0 times out of 40. This is
what made tests/serve-question.test.mjs fail intermittently in CI on the
Node 22 job while passing on Node 24.
