A hidden backface still hit-tests in Chrome, so after flipping a card
the front's picture-in-picture sat invisibly over the back's chips,
showing its zoom cursor and eating the flip-back click. Pointer events
now follow visibility: the back is inert until the card flips, and the
front goes inert while it is flipped.

Field data: the first image of a real batch took ninety seconds and the
page's 150-second fallback then silently promoted catalog art to full
bleed, unlabeled, which is exactly the this-is-your-design misread the
picture-in-picture treatment exists to prevent. The policy is now
patience while there is progress: a slot shows its inspiration only
after waiting four minutes with nothing landing anywhere on the page
for four minutes, the stand-in is dimmed and labeled 'inspiration ·
sketch pending', and polling continues so the real sketch still swaps
in whenever it arrives. Slots with no inspiration keep the honest
elapsed shimmer instead of folding. The parent's reclaim rule matches:
files landing steadily is health at any pace, and only total silence,
no first file in three minutes, takes the batch back inline.

Field feedback: with every fact stacked under the media the cards ran
past a screen tall. The front now carries only what the choice needs,
sketch, lineage, title, thesis, identity, and the honest risk clamped
to two lines, while first viewport and the case read on the back behind
a Details chip, sharing the face with the board when the world has one.
Risk stays on the front because the counterweights are pointless if the
downside hides behind a flip, and once the sketch lands the first
viewport is a picture anyway. The schema notes now ask for one-sentence
facts, since a long fact should cost the reader a flip, not the page
its scanability.

A codex field run dealt six challengers into an eight-sketch batch
behind an opaque subagent, and the user stared at a page of shimmer
asking whether anything was happening at all. Four fixes from that run.
A hand now holds at most three challengers, the rest banked for
re-rolls, so fairness within the hand stops multiplying into a queue.
Sketches greek everything but the product's real name and one real
headline, because an invented spec, price, or ship date in a sketch is
a claim PRODUCT.md never made, and comps have solved this for a century.
Sketch production follows the user's reading order with the first file
doubling as the producer's heartbeat, and the parent's --wait loop
checks the sketch directory each pass, reclaiming the batch inline when
two minutes pass with nothing landed. And a failed --start now captures
the daemon's stderr to a per-key log and names the sandbox as the usual
suspect, instead of reporting only that failure occurred. The shimmer
counts its elapsed seconds, and gives up at 150 instead of 300.

Three field notes from a live review. The deck now escapes the content
column and runs edge to edge, so a cut-off card sits at the screen edge
where it reads as more cards instead of at an invisible container edge
where it reads as a bug; the first card still aligns with the column
via scroll padding. Whichever side hides more content wears a fade, and
a hard edge means the end. The vertical pager grows from a bare chevron
into labeled Back and More pills, because in a column deck it is the
primary way forward. And hovering the inspiration thumb now takes over
the whole media region instead of a timid zoom; the sketch is the
promise, the inspiration is a glance, and the glance must cost nothing.

Field-checked in a real browser, which surfaced three defects the DOM
tests could not: the generic .media img display rule defeated [hidden]
and floated an empty block over the shimmer and its sketching note; the
deal animation left every card at opacity zero in an unfocused tab,
because rAF throttling is real and decoration must never gate content;
and the sketch poll's cache-busting query missed the anchored /img
route, so a landed sketch kept shimmering forever.
The grid is now a snap-scrolling deck: one row in a wide viewport, one
column in a tall one, with edge arrows that appear only on overflow and
page one card at a time.

greptile-apps[bot] repro: a helper that died without removing
server.json leaves a pid the OS can hand to an unrelated process, which
kill(pid, 0) classifies as a running server and routes repo-root helpers
onto the stale app. The liveness check now also requires the pid's
command line to look like a node process (ps-based, platform-guarded),
removing reuse by arbitrary processes; the residual node-reuse case is
covered by the multi-app warning and the --target escape hatch.

The decision page compared unlike things: the grounded direction was a
wall of text beside curated catalog art, the catalog art read as a
promise of the build, the weighing silently shrank the challenger set,
and the standing exit hid in the footer under the cards it must not
soften. Every card now shares one anatomy (thesis, palette chips,
material tags, first viewport, case, risk), every dealt challenger is
presented with the weighing written on it rather than applied to it,
the catalog image rides picture-in-picture as labeled inspiration with
the lightbox a click away, and canonCard renders the category standard
as one honest, subordinate card.
When image generation exists, each card declares a sketch slot the page
polls: serve first, generate after, through one shared deliberately
unfinished frame, so the comparison stays about direction instead of
rendering luck. The asset producer takes the batch when subagents
exist; the chosen sketch returns in ANSWER to seed at most one comp
probe, and the comp round still renders its full set.

greptile-apps[bot] repro: the multi-app warning recommended --target,
but the helper CLIs never parsed it, so live-poll --target appB still
re-anchored onto the pointer's first choice. enterLiveRoot now consumes
a --target argument (removing it from argv so downstream flag parsers
never see it) and resolves roots against it, making the documented
escape hatch real on every helper. Regression test drives a two-live-app
repo through a child process and asserts both the chdir target and the
argv scrubbing.

cursor[bot]:
- verifyAcceptedSource anchors its param patterns to the exact shapes
live mode writes (data-p-x= / [data-p-x] attributes, var(--p-x, ...)
references) instead of bare prefixes, shrinking the false-positive
class near the completion gate. Note: the reported examples (data-page,
var(--primary)) did not actually match the previous hyphenated
substrings; the tightening removes the residual class (e.g. a user's
own data-p-* attribute) regardless.
- With a non-root Vite base, the /@fs/ fallback is tried both under the
base and at the server root, covering Vite versions that serve @fs at
either location.

- variant_mount_failed now sets the session's pendingEvent (without
clobbering a still-pending generate), so a helper restart replays it
onto /poll and a repair --reply resolves instead of returning
unknown_poll_reply_id. live-resume's next action names the real event
id instead of a literal EVENT_ID placeholder.
- Contract v2 text hydration strips {#key} DELIMITERS from the zip
source (content stays; it always renders), so key blocks can no longer
shift expression slots against the live DOM.

cursor[bot]:
- enqueueEvent dedupes variant_mount_failed per variant, so a second
broken variant is no longer swallowed while the first is queued.
- Every component (re)injection resets the mount-failure dedupe, so a
republish that is still broken at the same URL reports again instead
of silently convincing the agent the repair landed.
- Toggle baking now mirrors preview truth exactly: the runtime sets
data-p-<id>="on" or removes the attribute, so presence and "on" forms
survive only while on, and any other valued branch (never matched at
preview) is dropped in either state.
greptile-apps[bot] (both P1 repros):
- When several apps qualify at the same resolution tier (two live
servers, or two stopped apps with interrupted sessions), the choice
stays deterministic but is now loud: a stderr warning names the chosen
app, the alternatives, and how to target a specific app. Silent
wrong-app routing was the failure in both repro harnesses.

The CI-only astro accept hang: the carbonize source edit triggers a
framework reload, and on a slow runner the reloaded page rehydrated the
still-non-terminal carbonize_required session back into GENERATING,
stranding the bar over a decided comparison. Adoption now uses a
positive allowlist of comparison phases (generate_requested,
variants_ready, generating, cycling); accept/carbonize/steer/manual
phases are agent-side work and never adoptable. Regression guard pins
the allowlist.

cursor[bot]:
- variant_mount_failed joins EVENT_TYPES_NEEDING_AGENT_REPLY so stream
mode waits for the repair reply instead of moving on mid-lease.
- The fake agent's mount-failure repair no longer forces
sourceEventType generate; the server maps the done reply onto the
pending failure event, which acknowledges it instead of leaving it to
be redelivered on every poll.
greptile-apps[bot]:
- With every helper server stopped, repo-root resolution now prefers the
app whose durable store holds a non-terminal session (the interrupted
session the user is recovering) over the most recent boot.
astro-vite7 (pre-existing CI failure, root-caused): Astro 7 auto-detects
AI-agent environments and daemonizes `astro dev`; the detached server
holds a lock, outlives the harness, squats dev ports across runs, and
makes the parent exit 0, which the harness read as a crash. The fixture
now sets ASTRO_DEV_BACKGROUND=1 (disables the agent detection) plus
--ignore-lock, and the harness supports per-fixture runtime.env. The
core cycle now passes for the first time; the missed-done recovery
scenario fails identically at origin/main with the daemon bypassed, so
it is marked as a per-scenario known limitation with that rationale.

Raising the reviewer's turn budget did not change its fate, only its
reading: 43 tool uses instead of 22, still reaped mid-read with nothing
written, because the SDK ends a run at max-turns without warning and the
model never feels the deadline. The definitions now carry the deadline
themselves: reading is an allowance, batch Reads per turn, take the
decisive inputs first, sample instead of walking the tree, and write by
mid-budget, naming what went unread. A review built from what you saw
beats a perfect review that never arrives.

cursor[bot]:
- style: directives with dynamic values now fall back to source-preview
instead of being scaffolded as boolean condition props that falsified
the style in the detached preview.
- class: directives carry a className probe, so v2 hydration answers the
condition from the live DOM instead of always defaulting to false.
- The existing-wrapper remount path now checks the mount result; a failed
remount keeps the error card instead of advancing to a CYCLING bar over
a page where nothing rendered.
greptile-apps[bot]:
- The repo-root live pointer records every booted app (most recent
first) and resolution prefers the app whose helper server is alive, so
a helper run from the repo root of a two-app monorepo can no longer be

single-value pointers still read.

cursor[bot] findings on #433:
- Nightly schedule no longer enables the paid opt-in suites: a schedule
event has no diff base, so the change-detection fallback flagged every
file-triggered suite, which would have billed the skill-behavior,
accept-cleanup, and deepseek LLM suites nightly. The plan now pins the
schedule event to deterministic suites plus the full live-e2e matrix,
with a regression test.
- Dismissing the mount-error card no longer strands the session: while
the bar is hidden in GENERATING the card is the only recovery surface,
so dismiss now returns the state machine to PICKING (session and
server truth survive for a later republish).

A codex run turned an approved comp into a related second art direction
and the finish reviewer passed it: the review anchored on the direction
contract, a lossy abstraction the builder wrote, and every element that
abstraction dropped passed silently. Four changes close that chain. The
reviewer inventories the comp's salient elements before reading the
contract and classifies each one (match, adaptation, missing,
contradicted, added without approval), with adaptations citing the
answer, brief, accessibility need, or product truth that forced them,
and fidelity failures outranking craft in material_fixes. The visualize
inventory gate records compositional commitments alongside asset media,
since the 150-word contract cannot carry them. The north-star allowance
now says what it permits: translation, never recomposition. And the
finish sequence recaptures the same viewports once after the fix batch,
so what the documenter records is what actually shipped.

A ground-up hardening of live mode, driven by a production session in a
nested-app monorepo that hit six distinct failure classes. Full design
rationale in docs/LIVE-REWRITE-PLAN.md; every Codex-reported failure now
has a mechanical fix and a regression test.
Roots: live/roots.mjs resolves appRoot/repoRoot/contextRoot once at boot
(keyed on dev-server configs, not monorepo brand markers), persists a
manifest, and every live CLI re-anchors onto it at startup, so a helper
run from the wrong directory can no longer fork session state. Context
files are discovered upward to the git root.
Render truth: variant_mounted / variant_mount_failed events give the
journal per-variant mount state; failures reach the agent's poll queue,
raise a persistent error card with Retry (no more localStorage wipe), and
an attach probe names root/dev-server mismatches explicitly. The browser
rehydrates from the server when localStorage is gone.
Svelte: the scaffolder now parses with the app's own svelte 5 compiler.
Control flow survives (an each collection crosses the contract as one
structured prop), keyed each blocks hydrate synthetic keys, and anything
a detached preview cannot support falls back to source-preview instead of
shipping a wrong scaffold. Preview modules live in per-publish revision
directories, defeating stale transform caches.
Accept: CSS is reconciled, not appended. Matching selectors are replaced,
params bake from params.json kinds, the compiler's unused-selector pass
prunes superseded rules (pre-existing dead rules protected), a selector-
loss postcondition refuses any write that would drop hand-written rules,
and live-complete refuses to finish while live plumbing remains in source.
Also: framework registry (live/frameworks/) with a crash-safe injection
journal, session-store snapshot caching with read-only reads, protocol
enum consolidation, steer Send button, honest DESIGN-panel empty states.
Testing: new unit suites (roots, AST scaffolder, accept CSS, accept
pipeline, framework conformance); e2e now fails on preview-tree 404s,
proves computed-style mount for every variant, drives the Tune panel
through baked params, and injects failures (broken mounts, republish,
storage loss). New runtime fixtures: monorepo-nested-vite (repo root !=
app root) and vite8-sveltekit-stateful (each blocks + state). Nightly
full-matrix cron. An independent adversarial review pass preceded this
commit; its blocker and major findings are fixed and regression-tested.

A finish review reads the artifact, two full-page screenshots, the
approved comp, the quality-bar cards, and the contract before it may
write a word; at max-turns 12 the SDK reaps it mid-read and the parent
receives the opening sentence as the whole review. Observed twice in a
row (spawn and respawn) on the first real subagent run. The documenter
reads at least as much, and the asset producer pays per asset.

Round eight closes the stale-local class completely: the develop
candidate sits before the remote-default entries, so when origin/HEAD
itself points at develop, its name claim let a stale local develop win
over the fresher origin/develop. The candidate now leads with any
remote-advertised develop rev, exactly as the remote-default and
upstream candidates already lead with theirs. main/master were already
covered since their remote-default entries come first in the order.
Failing-first test forces local develop two commits behind.

Round seven: a remote-advertised default candidate tried the local
branch first, so a stale local main outranked the fresher origin/main
the symref points at and refilled changedFiles with the divergence.
The candidate now leads with the advertised remote rev, mirroring the
upstream candidate's reasoning. Failing-first test: local main forced
two commits behind the remote default, feature delta stays clean.

Round six, and the upstream-parsing ambiguity dies at the root: @{u} is
now resolved via rev-parse --symbolic-full-name, where refs/heads/...
IS a local upstream and refs/remotes/<r>/... IS remote-tracking. The
previous remote-membership heuristic still misread a local feature/foo
upstream when a remote literally named "feature" existed. The
adversarial test now configures exactly that remote and passes.

Round-five bot findings, one real root cause: splitRemoteRef treated the
first slash in any ref as a remote separator. A local upstream named
release/2.0 was truncated to "2.0", and feature/foo tracking from branch
foo collapsed to the current branch's own name and was self-skipped,
discarding a valid base both times.
The split now happens only when the prefix names a configured remote;
otherwise the whole ref is one local branch name. The per-remote HEAD
symref loop strips its own queried prefix directly (that remote may be
fabricated in tests or partial clones without appearing in git remote).
The reported pruned-upstream shape already resolves via the multi-remote
rev lists from the previous round; its test now guards that.

Cursor and Greptile converged on one root cause from the previous round:
candidate revs stopped at origin (develop tried only develop and
origin/develop; a remote-default entry carried only its own rev), so the
name-level dedup discarded a same-name base living on another remote. A
fork-parent layout with develop only as upstream/develop, or a pruned
origin/main beside a live upstream/main, lost its base entirely.
revsFor(name) now expands to the local branch plus <remote>/<name> for
every remote (origin first), and all named candidates use it, which is
exactly what makes the dedup safe. Two failing-first tests cover the
upstream-only develop and the pruned-origin/live-upstream main shapes.

Two more real gaps from the post-rebase review round: a detached
checkout reads its branch as the literal HEAD, so the integration guard
never fired and candidate selection could diff a detached tip on main
against develop; and the remote-default check only consulted origin, so
a fork-parent layout whose only remote is upstream lost the guard on
its default branch entirely.
The guard now treats a detached HEAD as no-diff-base, and default-branch
symrefs are collected from every remote (origin first), feeding both the
guard and the candidate list. Two failing-first tests cover a detached
tip beside a diverged develop and an upstream-only trunk default.

The probe asked whether node could load ESM, while the notice promised a
Node 22 floor and package.json engines declares >=22.12.0. Reviewers kept
flagging the gap, and they were right to: a 14.18-to-21 runtime passed the
probe on the strength of one import while the hook and its detector bundle
are only ever exercised on the engines floor, so "can load our code" was a
weaker claim than the one being made for it.
Check the floor directly: parseInt(process.versions.node) >= 22, in
ES5-only syntax that parses on any node old enough to fail it. Probe and
notice now derive from one NODE_MAJOR_FLOOR constant, so they cannot
disagree, and the archaeology about node: scheme support and pre-15
unhandled-rejection semantics goes with the import it explained.
Add the missing contract test: every generated hook command carries the
probe, the notice appears exactly where a harness can render it (Claude
and Codex, project and plugin), and the expected floor is read from
package.json engines rather than repeated by hand.
Verified against a fake pre-22 node, no node, and a real node: one notice
then the marker holds it silent, exit 0 in every failure shape, and the
hook's own exit code still passes through on a supported runtime.
