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).

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.
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.

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.

The generated browser bundle is rebuilt from the merged engine sources in the next commit's build step (both branches had regenerated it).

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.

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.

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.

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).

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).

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.

Read waiver config from every live root (appRoot, contextRoot, repoRoot),
so monorepo projects whose config lives at the repo root reach the
overlay; serialize served roots and page identities repo-relative there.
Resolve each page URL to its actual serving file via the inject config's
resolved page list before applying file-scoped waivers; ambiguous URLs
keep the conservative common-ancestor fallback (PR #645 review
discussion r3840011436).
Honour detector.ignoreFiles: a wholly waived page now scans to zero
findings in the overlay, matching the CLI and the edit hook.
Guard the resolver call so a throwing resolver degrades to an unfiltered
scan instead of breaking the detect toggle.
Match design-system-color waivers by color value across hex and rgb()
spellings, and stop extracting font values for bounce-easing findings,
mirroring extractFindingIgnoreValue. Regenerate the browser bundle.

- The per-project state dir key is now the readable separator-mapped
slug plus an 8-hex sha256 of the resolved project path. The readable
part alone is lossy (/x/my.app and /x/my-app both mapped to -x-my-app
and shared hook state); the digest keeps distinct projects' cache and
pending state apart while the dir name stays human-scannable.
- Tilde roots now expand via os.homedir() instead of HOME/USERPROFILE
with a '.' fallback. When no home dir can be determined, expansion is
rejected and state falls back to the project-local default rather
than anchoring under the hook process's working directory.
- Tests updated to the digest-suffixed slug via a mirrored slugFor()
helper, plus two new cases: colliding readable slugs get distinct
state dirs, and the tilde form resolves identically to the explicit
homedir-joined form.

- hookStateDir now trims the env value (stray whitespace in env files)
and path.resolve()s both the root and the cwd, so trailing separators
and relative segments slug to the same per-project dir.
- The #344/#305 persist gate also treats an existing (possibly
redirected) cache file as the opted-in marker. Without this, once
state relocated, clean-edit editCount bumps stopped persisting because
the project-local .impeccable/ dir never appears. No-op under stock
paths, where the cache file lives inside .impeccable/.
- New tests: slug normalization equivalences, whitespace trim, graceful
persistCache failure on an unusable root, and three runHook
end-to-end cases (findings persist + dedup through the redirect,
clean-edit editCount persistence, and the no-footprint no-op gate
holding under redirect).

Honor an optional IMPECCABLE_CACHE_ROOT env var in getCachePath() /
getPendingPath(): when set, hook.cache.json and hook.pending.json land
under $IMPECCABLE_CACHE_ROOT/<project-slug>/ (slug = project path with
[:\/.] mapped to hyphens, mirroring Claude Code's ~/.claude/projects/
convention). Unset or blank env keeps stock project-local behavior.
User-authored config (config.json, config.local.json, design.json)
deliberately stays project-local - only disposable state relocates.
Also clears ambient IMPECCABLE_CACHE_ROOT at the top of hook.test.mjs so
a developer running the suite with the redirect active still gets
deterministic stock-path assertions; the new suite sets and restores the
var explicitly.

Collapse the nightly alternate plan into the shared event routing while preserving every GitHub output and schedule behavior. Strengthen the nightly characterization for all deterministic suites.\n\nAI assistance: prepared by OpenAI Codex under maintainer pbakaus's standing scheduled-refactor authorization.
Cursor's review caught the previous commit over-correcting. One tree listed
at two depths (prototype/*.html plus prototype/library/**/*.html) derived
two roots, and requiring a waiver to match under both stopped a normal
project-relative waiver like prototype/index.html from applying anywhere.
The rule both reviews were circling is simpler: one live session is served
by one server, so a single document root must sit at or above every
configured page. The only prefix the resolver can safely assert is the
deepest common ancestor of the glob roots. Nested roots collapse to their
shared tree, so normal waivers keep applying. Disjoint roots (src/ and
public/) share nothing, so no prefix is asserted and only the URL path
itself matches, which keeps the earlier fix intact: a src/foo.html waiver
still cannot hide a finding on a page served from public/foo.html.
This also deletes the match-under-every-root machinery from the previous
commit; with a single asserted prefix, plain matching is enough.
Also switches the new test file to derive the repo root from
import.meta.url rather than process.cwd(), per review.

Greptile's review found a real bug in the new resolver. When the live config
lists pages under more than one folder (src/**/*.html and public/**/*.html),
the overlay treated a URL like /foo.html as src/foo.html and public/foo.html
at the same time. A waiver written only for src/foo.html could then hide a
finding on the page actually served from public/foo.html. That fails in the
worst direction: a real finding disappears and nothing says so.
The overlay can never look up the right file. The live server does not serve
the pages; the project's own dev or static server does, and its URL-to-file
mapping is invisible from here. So the fix stops guessing: a file-scoped
waiver now applies only when it matches the URL path itself, which is true
whichever folder serves the page, or when it matches under every configured
folder, so no possible reading disagrees. Anything ambiguous shows the
finding, which is also what the CLI reports for the file really being served.
With a single configured root, the common case, nothing changes: the new
rule reduces to the old behaviour exactly. Multi-root projects keep three
ways to write a waiver that still applies: name the file under each folder,
use the bare path, or use **/.
Two new unit tests pin the ambiguous case and the safe spellings.

The live overlay's detect scan ran unfiltered: requestDetectScan() posted
only { scanId }, so detector.ignoreRules and detector.ignoreValues in
.impeccable/config.json reached impeccable detect and the edit hook but
never the surface a designer actually watches.
The server now serializes the project's detector waivers into the /live.js
prelude (window.__IMPECCABLE_PROJECT_IGNORES__), read per request through
hook-lib's readConfig so config.local.json wins and edits land on the next
tab reload. A new script part, live-browser-ignores.js, resolves that
config against the page URL when a scan starts: ignoreRules suppress
outright, wildcard ignoreValues suppress their rule in the files their
globs name, and the remaining entries ride along as disabledValues for the
detector to match on each finding's own value. The detector bundle applies
those where the findings are assembled, since the overlay draws its own
markers from the collected findings.
Scope resolution mirrors cli/lib/impeccable-config.mjs deliberately: the
same glob dialect (globToRegex, including {a,b} alternation), the same
path-suffix matching as findingMatchesScopedIgnoreFile, and the same
refusal to apply an unscoped wildcard entry. The served-root prefixes that
bridge project-relative globs and site-relative URLs come from the inject
config's own files globs, never from the ignore globs; deriving them from
the ignore globs lets one entry scoped to prototype/library/** lend its
prefix to every page and suppress site-wide, which looks like success
because the numbers go down.
Known gaps, recorded in the detector comment: the motion value extractor
is not mirrored, so a value-scoped bounce-easing waiver only matches when
the finding carries ignoreValue directly, and design-system-color matches
on the normalized string without the CLI's color-equality fallback.
Tests: unit tests for the resolver part (stale globals, string ignoreRules,
malformed entries, directory URLs, percent-escapes, glob metacharacters,
the roots trap), an extension-mode puppeteer test that disabledValues
suppress exactly the waived findings, and the live-browser regression pin
now asserts the new scan config shape instead of { scanId }.

A reference, not the page: --r-<id>-x/y/w/h in % of the comp (plus cap height, font-size, family, weight where measured) to bind to any markup, and hero-reference.html with every region at its box and every plate placed with object-fit: contain, as a check on positions. Attacks the most common execution failure of weaker builders (badly positioned, overflowing, pushed below the fold) without dictating structure to strong ones; overlapping boxes are overlapping boxes and the gate reads pixels regardless.
AI-assisted (Claude Code).
From the human review's most repeated pin ('terrible svg instead of asset', on every model) and from sessions that wrote 'ship' with the hero open. Icons, arrows, chevrons, and runtime data charts stay code; diagrams, notation, and leader lines are plates.
AI-assisted (Claude Code).
From the final review batch: 'bad asset crop (crops are never allowed)' twice, 'letter spacing way too wide'. A crop resampled to the region scores 99.8% structure against the raw region; a produced plate scores 30-60.
