Two review findings:
- restoreSvelteMarkup visited an {#each} key with outer scopes only, so a
contract prop sharing a loop binding name rewrote the key: with prop
name -> user.name and loop context "name", the key (name.id) became
(user.name.id) in the accepted route. The key evaluates per item, so it
is now visited with the loop context and index bound. Regression test
verified failing on the previous code.
- enterLiveRoot silently kept the ambient working directory when the
resolved appRoot no longer existed or chdir failed, letting a helper
derive server, session, and source paths from the wrong project. Both
cases now exit with a clear error naming the app root and the --target
escape hatch.

removeSelectorAt walked backward to find the rule prelude and stopped at
any '>', added so the walk would not escape past the <style> open tag.
That same character is the CSS child combinator, so pruning one unused
selector from a list like '.wrap > .orphan, .orphan' cut the prelude
mid-list; when every remaining fragment equaled the flagged selector, the
whole-rule branch then deleted from the cut point and left a dangling
'.wrap >' in source. A '>' now bounds the walk only when it actually
closes a <style ...> tag; combinators are walked through.
Regression tests cover a mid-list combinator prune and the dangling-
fragment shape (verified failing on the previous code).

Addresses two cursor findings on extractMatchingSourceCss plus an adjacent
hazard in the same removal machinery:
- Class matching is token-bounded, never substring: .btn no longer seeds
.btn-primary and .stage no longer seeds .stages. A falsely seeded
selector was an accept-time deletion of a hand-written rule, since any
seeded selector the variant does not re-declare is removed as
superseded.
- Tag rules that style the pick (h1, a, p) now seed the preview stub, so
unclassed selections start from the real cascade. They are excluded
from the supersedable set: tag rules style shared elements across the
route and must never be removal candidates.
- Supersession removal is now bounded by ownership: a seeded class
selector whose class is still used by markup OUTSIDE the replaced
region survives the accept, because removing it would strip styling
from markup the accept never touched.
Tests cover substring non-matches, tag seeding with a tag-free
supersedable set, and a shared-class accept where .card is used both
inside the pick and elsewhere.

Field session on a nested SvelteKit app surfaced a self-reinforcing leak:
localStorage is per-origin, two projects reused 127.0.0.1:5174, and a
React project's leftover cycling session was resumed inside the Svelte
project. Its checkpoints then materialized a ghost session in the new
project's durable store that kept reattaching after every discard, and a
stale adapter module 401'd on live.js, hiding the picker.
Four fixes:
- Server: only session-creating events (generate, steer) may mint a
journal. Progress events (checkpoints, mount acks, accept/discard) for
unknown ids are refused with 404 unknown_session and never enqueued, so
foreign browser state cannot create ghost sessions. Browser sends are
gated so progress never overtakes its own creating POST (the Go-time
checkpoint and generate are concurrent fetches; the first sweep caught
the out-of-order arrival breaking every SvelteKit flow). Steer
checkpoints now follow the steer event for the same reason.
- Browser: saved sessions carry the server's appRoot; a session stamped
by another project is dropped at load time. Unstamped legacy state is
caught by the unknown_session refusal, which clears local state and
re-arms the picker with an explanatory toast.
- SvelteKit adapter: the layout import carries a token-derived revision
query so a helper restart changes the module specifier and no Vite
client/SSR cache can serve an adapter with a rotated-out token;
live-inject --port reads the running helper's token from server.json
instead of writing an unauthenticated live.js URL; script load failures
log an actionable console error; and adapter removal is byte-exact
(the old regex swallowed the next line's indentation).
- live.mjs resolves surface briefs from appRoot, then contextRoot, then
repoRoot, matching context.mjs in nested-app repos.
Tests: server unknown-session rejection units, adapter revision/
byte-exact-removal units, and a foreign-session e2e scenario that seeds
another project's localStorage state and asserts it is cleared, no ghost
journal materializes, and picking still works.

Fixes#439. When a cycling session is abandoned and the wrapped region is
then edited or regenerated out of the source file, the resumed page used
to sit in GENERATING forever with the picker disarmed; the only recovery
was a manual live-complete --discarded. Now a resumed CYCLING session
whose wrapper cannot be found in source retries the read a few times
(HMR or an agent write may be mid-flight), then discards itself, clears
local state, and re-arms the picker with a toast. GENERATING restores
are exempt: deferred-wrapper flows legitimately have no wrapper in
source until the agent's write lands.
The browser tags the discard event orphaned:true; the server terminalizes
that session directly (phase discarded) and keeps the event out of the
agent poll queue, since there is no source cleanup left to perform and
the normal discard flow would just fail against the missing scaffolding.
New e2e scenario on vite8-react-plain drives the full repro: cycle,
revert source externally, reload, assert self-discard, terminal durable
phase, and a working picker afterward.

A trailing --target, an empty --target=, or --target followed by another
flag used to degrade into implicit root selection, letting a mutating
helper (poll, accept, complete) act on the most recent live app instead
of the one the caller tried to name. consumeTargetArg now throws on those
shapes and enterLiveRoot exits with a clear error before any session
state can be touched. Unit tests cover the malformed shapes and a

Addresses two cursor review findings:
- {#each} bodies whose bound values appear in attributes (href={link.href},
src={item.img}) now record attr slots; the browser hydrates them from the
rendered attribute so component previews no longer mount with empty links.
Single-expression attributes hydrate exactly; mixed values stay unhydrated
as before. A new slot classifier also refuses shapes that would crash a
shallow hydration item (deep paths, method calls, bare item renders) and
routes them to source-preview mode instead.
- Style directives now run the mixed loop/outer identifier check before the
free-identifier param check, so style:width={base + r.pct} falls back
instead of minting a broken param.
Tests: attr-slot analysis units, crashy/lossy fallback units, an attribute-
bound anchor in the stateful SvelteKit fixture asserted through accept, and
a mountedDomProbe e2e hook that reads the hydrated href off the mounted
variant DOM (verified to fail when hydration is disabled).

greptile-apps[bot]: the legacy fallback (server.json without port or
token) accepted a pid-only record on Windows without identity. Every
server.json this codebase has ever written records port and token, so a
record without them is malformed or foreign; it now classifies as not
live and resolution falls to the durable-session tier, the correct
recovery path for a crashed helper. The ps-based identity heuristic is
gone with it: authentication or nothing.

greptile-apps[bot] escalated the identity ladder to a pid AND port both
coincidentally reused by different processes. The definitive terminator
was available all along: the helper serves an authenticated endpoint and
server.json records the token, so the probe now requires a 200 from
/status?token=... over HTTP. Nothing but our helper can answer that,
which closes the entire misidentification class rather than the next
rung. The regression test hosts its responder in a child process (the
probe is execFileSync, so a same-process responder can never accept
while the parent's event loop is blocked; production helpers are always
separate processes).

greptile-apps[bot]: the win32 branch skipped the port probe entirely
(bash /dev/tcp is not portable), so a reused pid on Windows still
classified as a running helper. The probe is now a spawned node
one-liner that behaves identically on every platform, which also drops
the bash dependency for minimal Linux environments; the ps identity
check remains only for legacy server.json records without a port.

cursor[bot]: an expression mixing loop bindings with outer free names
(fmt(r.label) where fmt lives in the route script) was left verbatim, so
the detached preview referenced an undeclared identifier and failed at
mount, past the compile gate, because globals make it legal to the
compiler. Such expressions now mark the analysis unsupported and the
session takes source-preview mode. A globals allowlist makes Math/JSON
and friends count as neither free nor bound, which also fixes a latent
bug where a pure-global expression minted a nonsense prop.
Won't-fix on the same pass: the live-setup.md filename cross-reference
matches the repo's established reference-link convention.

Field failure (Codex session, 2026-07-28): the agent kept the seeded
stub style block and appended its own second top-level style element in
all three variants. Svelte forbids that, so the user saw a red Vite
compile overlay; the mount-ack loop then self-healed (failure event,
repair, republish, clean accept), but the overlay window is exactly the
kind of thing the user should never see.
The publish gate closes the class: a done reply for a component session
now compile-checks every variant with the app's own compiler BEFORE the
revision bump and the browser broadcast. Failures bounce as a 422 with
file, line, and message plus _instructions; live-poll surfaces the
details in the thrown reply error. The browser never imports a variant
that cannot compile.
Also: the stub guard comments warn that all CSS belongs in the single
existing style block, worded to never contain the literal "<style"
sequence (a mention inside a CSS comment truncates the string surgery
agents use to find the block; the fake test agent caught exactly that).
The JIT svelte instructions carry the same warning.

greptile-apps[bot] re-raised the residual with a repro: a stale
server.json pid reused by an unrelated node process passed the
command-name check. The decisive signal is the recorded PORT: a real
helper is listening on it, a pid squatter is not. hasLiveServer now
probes 127.0.0.1:<port> (bash /dev/tcp, sync, ~ms, win32-guarded with
the previous behavior); the multi-app preference test runs a real
listener instead of faking liveness with a bare pid.

Field feedback from two more Codex sessions drove both changes.
JIT instructions (live/instructions.mjs): every event live-poll prints
now carries _instructions, the authoritative next step for that exact
situation with real ids, paths, and line numbers substituted, and only
the active path's rules (a svelte-component session never sees JSX
guidance). The boot payload carries loop instructions the same way.
Instructions are versioned with the scripts, so they cannot drift from
behavior, and live.md's plumbing can keep shrinking toward contract plus
craft guidance. The Codex poll-discipline failure observed in the field
("the long poll was started, but I yielded the task instead of actively
servicing its result") gets a named anti-pattern in both the harness
policy and the boot instructions.
LLM e2e agent: default provider/model moves from Claude Haiku 4.5 to
OpenAI gpt-5.6-terra at medium reasoning effort via an Anthropic-shaped
shim over the ai SDK (the three call sites stay provider-agnostic;
Anthropic and DeepSeek remain selectable). The harness should exercise
the model tier that actually drives live sessions. Both the react and
sveltekit fixtures pass end to end with terra driving the trimmed
live.md and the new _instructions.

Field failure from a real Codex session: accepting a variant into
Pitch.svelte appended 23 selectors and removed none, so the source's old
.decisions grid rules re-attached through the kept root class and forced
the accepted board into a stale three-column layout; some appended base
rules also landed after the source's media block, weakening the mobile
cascade.
Two mechanical fixes:
- Preview truth: the scaffolder records the seeded selectors (the source
rules that styled the replaced selection, which the isolated preview
never applied). On accept, any seeded selector the variant does not
re-declare is removed; the selector-loss postcondition treats those
removals like compiler prunes. A regression test reproduces the exact
Pitch shape end to end.
- Cascade order: reconciliation inserts new base rules BEFORE existing
top-level media blocks instead of appending after them.
Init-latency reductions from the same transcript:
- live.mjs inlines the resolved surface brief (removes three
surface-brief.mjs round-trips including a --help miss before first poll).
- The wrap/scaffold payload carries componentStubMarkup, and live.md
instructs editing stubs in place (the session read the manifest + stub
back and then deleted/recreated the files).
- live.md notes that a busy default port usually means the dev server is
already running (the session spawned a duplicate).

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.

greptile-apps[bot] repro: the multi-app warning recommended --target,
but the helper CLIs never parsed it, so live-poll --target appB still

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.

- 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.

id instead of a literal EVENT_ID placeholder.

- 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.

positive allowlist of comparison phases (generate_requested,

- variant_mount_failed joins EVENT_TYPES_NEEDING_AGENT_REPLY so stream
mode waits for the repair reply instead of moving on mid-lease.

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.

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

so dismiss now returns the state machine to PICKING (session and

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.

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.

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

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.

Cursor Bugbot: sitting on a non-standard default such as trunk (the
origin/HEAD target) still ran candidate selection, where develop or main

conventional names. Failing-first test: on trunk with a develop branch
present, the scope stays the working tree.

Cursor Bugbot's remaining round-1 finding held for the current code
too: in a git-flow repo whose platform default was never flipped off
main, a feature branch without an upstream picked origin/HEAD's main
over the develop branch features actually merge to, dragging the
develop-vs-main divergence into scan targets. develop now sits between
the upstream signal and origin/HEAD in the candidate order; repos
without a develop branch are unaffected. Failing-first test covers the
exact shape (develop exists, origin/HEAD -> main).

Cursor Bugbot round two, both real: an upstream or origin/HEAD naming a
DIFFERENT integration branch bypassed the conventional-name guard, so
sitting on develop with the remote default at main still produced the
integration-vs-integration divergence this detection exists to prevent.
And splitRemoteRef returned null for a slashless @{u}, silently dropping
local upstreams (branch.<x>.remote = ".").
Base detection is now skipped entirely on an integration branch: no
signal may override the working-tree scope there. A slashless upstream
resolves as its own name and rev. Two failing-first tests: origin/HEAD
pointing at main while sitting on develop, and a feature branch
tracking a local canary branch.

Both review bots found real gaps in the first pass: candidates were
verified as local branch names only, so an origin/HEAD target with no
local checkout fell through, and stripOrigin() dropped upstreams on any
remote not named origin (fork workflows tracking upstream/release).
Candidates now carry a display name plus the revs to try in order: the
upstream's remote rev wins outright (it tracks the actual merge target,
so it beats a possibly stale local branch of the same name), origin/HEAD
tries the local branch then the remote-tracking ref, and the
conventional names each try local then origin/<name>. git.base keeps
reporting the friendly branch name while the diff runs against whichever
rev resolved. Two new failing-first tests: remote-only default branch,
and an upstream on a remote named upstream with no local base branch.

downstream commands scanned the wrong set (issue #302).
The base is now detected, most specific signal first: the branch's
configured upstream (@{u}; a branch pushed with -u tracks itself and is
skipped by the self-check), then the remote's default-branch symref
(origin/HEAD), then the conventional integration names including
develop. The conventional fallbacks are withheld when the current branch
is itself one of them, so sitting on main in a repo that also has
develop keeps the working-tree scope instead of diffing two integration
branches against each other.
Five tests (three failing-first): develop-based feature branch,
origin/HEAD detection with a non-standard default name, upstream
tracking, on-the-integration-branch fallback, and the
integration-vs-integration guard.

Cursor Bugbot caught a real hole: accept unlocks at the first variant,
so a late generation agent_done for the same session id could arrive
after Accept and close the awaited failure window early, reopening the
exact #384 gap. The SSE broadcast carries no sourceEventType, so only a
carbonize agent_done is provably accept-side; the release is now gated
on it. Copilot's wording point led somewhere real too: a carbonize-phase
failure raises the same error after the source WAS promoted, so the
toast now says "may not have been saved" and normalizes the server
message's terminal punctuation. Regression guard extended to pin both.

Accept is optimistic: POST /events acknowledging the intent schedules
cleanupAcceptedSession(), which nulls pendingAcceptedSession before
live-accept.mjs has run. When the accept later failed (missing markers,
preview error, receipt conflict, source_locked), the SSE 'error' guard
keyed on pendingAcceptedSession could no longer match its id, so the
tailored recovery never fired: the user got a generic error toast, the
session was gone, and nothing said the variant was never written
(issue #384, analysis by Cursor Bugbot on #381).
Following the issue's fix sketch, an awaitingAcceptResult id is set on
the optimistic success path and deliberately survives the teardown. The
'error' case matches it and tells the user plainly that the variant was
not saved and to pick + generate again (post-teardown the wrapper may
already be gone, so restoring CYCLING is not honestly possible). The
marker is released when the real accept result arrives (complete /
accept / post-accept agent_done) or when a new session supersedes it.
Regression guard covers the set-before-teardown ordering, the error
match, and cleanupAcceptedSession leaving the marker alone; the existing
source contract now also asserts handleGo clears it.

Cursor Bugbot correctly noted classic VuePress keeps theme layouts,
components, and styles under .vuepress/, which the walker scanned before
the hidden-dir rule. Same treatment as .vitepress and .storybook.

Greptile's review correctly flagged a regression in the blanket
hidden-dir skip: .vitepress/theme/*.vue and .storybook/ preview files are
real UI source that the walker scanned before this branch. Both the
walker and the scan-target filter now carry a two-entry allowlist
(HIDDEN_SOURCE_DIRS) for those conventional locations; every other
hidden dir keeps being skipped.

The documented abort flow in reference/live.md (live-poll.mjs --reply <id>
error "...") reset the browser bar to PICKING but left the localStorage
checkpoint written for the GENERATING phase in place. Every reload then
resurrected a dead session the server no longer knew about, and the page
stayed wedged until the user hand-cleared the impeccable-live* keys in
the console (issue #362, diagnosed by @yourcodekitten).
An agent error reply is terminal for the session it names: when the id
matches the current session, run the same markSessionHandled + cleanup
teardown as 'discarded' (cleanup includes clearSession); when it matches
a stored-but-not-current checkpoint (the error raced a reload), drop that
checkpoint too. Errors that name no session keep the existing UI-only
reset, and the accept-cleanup and steer branches are untouched.
Regression guard added to tests/live-browser-regression.test.mjs.

When impeccable (or any agent tool) is installed into a project's
.claude/.cursor/.codex tree, a root scan descended into the vendored skill
code and reported the detector's own example strings as findings, and
context-signals returned installed-skill files as scan candidates whenever
the harness tree appeared in the branch diff (issue #303).
Rather than growing SKIP_DIRS by a denylist of harness names that drifts
as new tools appear, the walker now skips every hidden directory during
recursion — which already covered .git/.next/.nuxt/.svelte-kit/.turbo/
.vercel, and covers all present and future harness installs plus
.impeccable itself. SKIP_DIRS shrinks to the four non-hidden entries.
An explicitly passed hidden target still scans: only child entries are
name-checked, never the root the walker is given.
scanTargets() applies the same rule to git-changed files (directory
segments only, so root dotfiles keep their existing behavior), and falls
through to source-dir targeting when the only dirty files are vendored.

From the paired Opus and Codex manual-run analyses. DESIGN.md moves to
the end of the flow and into a shipped documenter subagent that derives
the system from the built artifact: a rulebook written before the build
gets defended against reality, and a half-stable DESIGN.md hands the
design-system detector an unstable target that buries the build in
noise and invites laundering. The finish reviewer gains the handoff
that failed three times live: the parent captures desktop and mobile
screenshots and passes paths, the reviewer never attempts to render
and names missing inputs in one line, the parent verifies the
five-section return and respawns once on empty. Fidelity against the
approved comp joins its checks; the card keeps commitment only. The
comp ingredient inventory becomes a written gate with raster-by-default
materials and no gradient-as-texture, comps persist under
.impeccable/mocks, the degraded seed names the sandboxed-exec cause,
and the finish line is explicit: a clean detector pass is not finished.

The release-gate audit traced four ways the roll's output was defeated
downstream of a perfectly healthy seed. Gemini's harness keeps only the
tail of tool output, so the header-only ASSIGNED INDEX never reached
the model in 18 of 18 samples; the seed now restates the assignment
and key at the end of its output. Astro strips frontmatter comments,
so half the anthropic contracts vanished from built artifacts; the
contract now must survive the production build as an HTML comment in
emitted markup. A brief that paints its own picture (the album named
Soft Cathedrals) converged every arm regardless of assigned index; its
literal reading now joins the rut with at most one candidate. And Opus
under 4.0.1 skipped the seed 42% of the time while hand-authoring
plausible contracts; the finish reviewer now verifies FORM carries a
corroborable seed key before any craft point.

The release-gate campaign confirmed two skill bugs with transcripts.
Sandboxed harnesses reject absolute paths, so following the CHOSEN
CARD directive with the absolute card-base path failed view_image; the
directive and the quality-bar clause now say download into the
workspace and open the relative path. And under the openai worker's
turn cap, models spent the budget on init, cards, and comp generation
and never built the page (a third of small-n supplement slices); the
visualize mandate gains its one exception: at a hard cap the shipped
page outranks optional imagery.

Paul's call: the reviewer-local authorization patch covered one
command while the harness gate silently disables every shipped
subagent, critique panels and the manual-edit applier included. The
argument now lives beside the autonomy counter in context.mjs, emitted
as tool-result content every run: invoking the skill is the user
request such gates ask for; spawn where a reference directs; the
in-thread substitute is for absent capability only and gets disclosed
in one line. new-work keeps the reviewer mechanics and drops the
now-central argument.

Three browser-side fixes for the same 3.5-to-4.0.1 regression.
- Source-preview targets no longer source-inject per variant_progress
checkpoint. Immediate injection raced framework (React/Vue) ownership and
triggered removeChild errors, which surfaced as static previews. HMR now
owns reconciliation while variants stream in; source injection runs only on
the final done (its 750ms settle + retry ladder stays for non-HMR harnesses
like Cursor). Progress counts still advance from the variant observer, and
the svelte-component progressive path is unchanged.
- The agent-phase progress bar advances monotonically. A behind/resumed
checkpoint re-broadcasts an earlier phase (the server regresses the snapshot
phase to generating), which moved the visible bar backward; a phase rank
table now blocks a known-lower phase from overwriting a known-higher one.
- The server-lost toast now frames the drop as resumable (session saved,
reopen or restart live-poll.mjs) instead of "Session ended", which had led
agents to rationalize bailing to direct edits.
