The launcher, npm shim, and `impeccable install` all resolve the engine
binary for the pinned ENGINE_VERSION, so a skill/CLI release or a rust-swap
merge published ahead of the engine release + platform packages dead-ends
every install path. Add a mechanical guard:
- scripts/check-engine-release.mjs: verifies all five dist binaries +
.sha256 and the five @impeccable/cli-<os>-<arch> npm platform packages
exist for the pinned ENGINE_VERSION; names missing assets, exits non-zero.
Honors IMPECCABLE_DOWNLOAD_BASE.
- release.mjs: hard-fails release:skill and release:cli when assets are
missing; extension is exempt (vendored WASM detector, no engine exec).
- CI engine-release-ready job: runs the check, continue-on-error with a
loud ::warning until the first engine release exists (flip to false then).
- CLAUDE.md Releases: documents the enforced ordering.

Byte-identical sync of the engine repo's launchers: a freshly downloaded
engine binary now runs only after verifying against its .sha256 sidecar.
A sidecar that cannot be fetched, or a machine with no sha256 tool,
refuses the download instead of exec'ing an unverified binary; the
wget-only path fetches the sidecar too. Binaries already on PATH or in
the cache that pass engine-probe are unaffected.

Three hadmin-ignore-value-inert-* cases record the engine's port of
be87f5eb (#662) to hooks ignore-value: an exact value for a rule whose
findings can never extract one is refused with the wildcard-plus-file
route (and no config write), while the wildcard scoped form for the same
rule is accepted. Goldens recorded from the engine binary and verified
byte-for-byte against the ea360025 hook-admin.mjs on the same sequences.
No existing golden changes, so no DELTAS entry is owed.
Prepared with AI assistance (Claude Code).
New cases: hook-session-grok-edit-then-stop (Grok Build camelCase envelope,
end_turn/shutdown/stopHookActive Stop handling, 35ae0733 + bfe634e2 +
3c442af7, #646), hook-session-codex-stop-decision (Codex Stop emits
decision/block, c9e7cd8a, #603), and doctor-order-boot-and-deep (boot and
deep findings keep their established artifact order, 80997663).
Re-recorded goldens whose old bytes froze pre-fix behavior, with a
DELTAS.md entry naming each upstream hash: the Stop finding-cache sync
(3c442af7), the Edit|Write manifests without the retired MultiEdit matcher
(7d5c60d2), and the failWithRollback field order (1f2c3f9d).

The Aug 17-31 detector fixes (oklch parsing, color-mix nested hex, 1D grid
pass, comment stripping, root-relative linked stylesheets, URL userinfo
redaction, inert ignore-value refusal) and the comp-fidelity rules
organic-clip-path / buried-raster are ported to the engine. Re-records the
gap-pinning detect goldens from the fixed binary (glow.html included: its
.photo-opaque-grad column now carries the buried-raster finding it was
written for), replays the frozen checkHtmlPatterns call vectors through the
last JS engine state in history (db1462b9^; args untouched, 14 of 101
results moved), and rewrites the DELTAS gap section into the landed-ports
note. Each re-recorded json fixture golden byte-matches that JS state's
output; oracle: 770 pass, 0 fail.

Byte-identical copies of the engine repo's launchers (engine main
af7572c): the retired 3.x npm CLI on PATH or in ~/.impeccable/bin is
rejected by the engine-probe handshake instead of hijacking every verb;
impeccable.cmd's download path is rewritten as straight-line goto flow
(the parenthesized blocks expanded %url%/%cached% at parse time, making
it dead code) with certutil sha256 verification and a windows-arm64 ->
x64 asset fallback; the final error points at the release download
instead of npm i -g (npm still serves the 3.x CLI).
ci.yml: the generated-output check no longer diffs the deleted
cli/engine/detect-antipatterns-browser.js, and a new oracle job fetches
the pinned engine (bun run fetch:engine) and replays tests/oracle/
against it. The job is continue-on-error with a loud warning until the
first engine release exists; flipping it to required is a release-time
toggle, documented in the workflow.
Verified here: sh -n on both launcher copies, bun run build green, full
oracle replay against the rebuilt engine binary green (770 pass, 0
fail), and a launcher behavior test proving a fake 3.x CLI on PATH is
skipped while the download + checksum chain completes against a local
file server.
Prepared with AI assistance (Claude Code).
The rebase onto origin/main brought changes whose JS engine halves left the
tree with the swap. This commit reconciles what survives:
- Suite map: register main's comp-fidelity unit tests (build-phase,
comp-diff, font-match, hero-checks) in the core suite and
live-browser-ignores in the live suite.
- Payload guard: the skill scripts payload now allowlists the comp-fidelity
build pipeline (comp-spec/comp-diff/build-phase/font-match and their libs),
the one Node toolchain that has not moved into the engine.
- Drop skill/scripts/live/project-ignores.mjs, lib/live-path-globs.mjs, and
their test: they import hook-lib/live-inject/impeccable-paths, which the
swap deleted, and their consumer (the JS live server) is the engine now.
- skill text: the comp pipeline's calls to engine verbs (generate-image,
embed-prompt) use the launcher spelling.
- Oracle: re-record 17 detect goldens over the fixture set main changed
(oklch #592, color-mix #578, 1D grid #615, the two comp-fidelity rules)
and record the gap in DELTAS.md; those JS rule changes are not yet ported
to the engine, and the goldens pin its current behavior.
bun run test (oracle included) and bun run build are green on this tree.

The bash tool exports IMPECCABLE_BIN so the staged skill's launcher runs
without a download; scenarios assert on 'impeccable context' instead of
context.mjs and skip without a binary.
Prepared with AI assistance (Claude Code).
The session, fake-agent loop, steer test, and manual-edit probe spawn
<binary> <verb> (live-server, live, live-inject, live-wrap, live-insert,
live-accept, live-poll, live-complete) resolved by tests/lib/engine-bin.mjs
instead of node skill/scripts/live-*.mjs; the completion typing the agent
imported from the deleted live/completion.mjs is a small local helper. The
live-e2e helper unit tests move back into the default live suite (the steer
loop skips without a binary).
Prepared with AI assistance (Claude Code).
IMPECCABLE_BUNDLE_ENGINE=1 opts in to staging the engine binaries into the
dist skill copies. Bundling every target into every provider copy put
dist/universal.zip near 340 MB, past the 25 MB Cloudflare Pages file cap
that impeccable install downloads through.

CLAUDE.md gains an Engine binary section (launcher lookup order, ENGINE_VERSION,
untracked binaries, how tests get one, the oracle as behavior gate, what stays
JavaScript) and drops the Node-script and JS-detector descriptions; the CLI
and detection-rule sections point at the shim and the engine repo. README.md
states the skill needs no runtime and lists the launcher-based hook commands;
AGENTS.md follows. CLI-CONTRACT.md's intro notes the scripts it quotes are
the recorded source, not the tree.
Prepared with AI assistance (Claude Code).
Unit tests of the deleted Node scripts and the JS detector are removed;
their behavior is pinned by tests/oracle goldens (frozen JS behavior plus
reviewed deltas) and the engine's own tests. tests/oracle.test.mjs replays
the corpus against the binary (IMPECCABLE_BIN or skill/scripts/bin/<target>/,
via tests/lib/engine-bin.mjs) and skips cleanly without one; the framework
fixture sweep drives live-inject, live-wrap, and detect-csp through the
binary the same way. record.mjs learns --bin. The function-level vectors
under tests/oracle/vectors/calls are committed as the frozen snapshot they
can no longer be regenerated from. Suites: core trimmed to build and
transformer tests, oracle added to the default run, detector/live reduced to
packaging and reference checks, the live-e2e helper tests move to the opt-in
live-e2e lane pending its retarget, cli-remote-e2e is an empty placeholder.
Prepared with AI assistance (Claude Code).
cli/engine, cli/lib, and cli/bin/commands are gone; their behavior lives in
the engine binary. cli/bin/cli.js now resolves the binary from IMPECCABLE_BIN,
the @impeccable/cli-<os>-<arch> optional dependency (templates under
cli/platform-packages/, published by the engine release), the
~/.impeccable/bin/<version>/ cache, or a checksum-verified download, and
execs it. package.json drops the engine dependencies and the library
exports; puppeteer moves to devDependencies for the icon scripts.
README.npm.md describes the shim.
Prepared with AI assistance (Claude Code).
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.
Prepared with AI assistance (Claude Code).
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.
Prepared with AI assistance (Claude Code).
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.
