Paul BakausandClaude c654acb005 Rip out the dead isolated-preview mode and the private repo's job
Comparing this branch's live against main's turned up two whole features that
never made sense here. -2,466 lines.

1. The isolated source-artifact preview was never switched on.

`scaffoldSourceArtifactSession` is only reachable via live-wrap's `--isolated`,
and nothing passes it: not the server's preflight, not live.md, nothing. Proved
it end-to-end — the default wrap writes markers straight into real source and
creates no previews/ session. So the mode was wired through three modules,
carried its own accept/discard branches, browser branches, server metadata
resolution, preview-mode classifier entry, and test suites, and none of it could
run.

Worse, live.md documented it as the active path and told the agent "The true
source is only the publisher's hash fence and must remain byte-identical until
Accept." That is false: the wrapper lands in source at scaffold time and each
revision rewrites it. An agent following that sentence believes source is
protected when it isn't, and the leftover artifacts are what made accept resolve
the wrong file in the first real run. live.md now describes what actually
happens, including that markers are visible in source until Accept or Discard.

Removed: source-artifact.mjs, --isolated, the preflight's isolated option, the
accept/discard branches, four dead browser branches, the server's previews/
resolution, the classifier entry, and their tests. Kept the previews/ gitignore
pattern: an ignore line for a directory that cannot exist is free, and a test
pins it.

2. Quality judging belongs to the private evals repo, which says so.

runner/live/README.md there is explicit: the public repo owns protocol
correctness, framework coverage, timing, source commit, recovery, and a
rubric-free evidence bundle; the private repo owns the task corpus, baselines,
comparative judges, and release-quality decisions — "Do not add quality rubrics,
competitor comparisons, or broad fixture corpora to the public Live benchmark."

This branch added exactly those: an LLM judge scoring 1-10 on "off-brand,
generic-AI" (live-rendered-quality.mjs, judge-live-rendered.mjs), a
cross-provider comparison with a BRAND_CONTRACT rubric (live-provider-benchmark
.mjs, benchmark-live-providers.mjs), and a brand-fidelity fixture corpus. All
removed, with bench:live:providers and their suite entries.

Also removed tests/framework-fixtures/README.md's "External quality-eval
fixtures" section: it documented a bench:live workflow using --fixture-dir,
--agent=codex, --action and --evidence-bundle, none of which benchmark-live.mjs
implements, plus an evidenceCapture block nothing reads.

Kept: timing benchmarks (the public repo's half of that boundary), progressive
publication, the source lock, poll lanes, and Nuxt/Vue component previews.

Coverage note: deleting the isolated suites took the only tests for
`source_locked` classification with them, so the plain wrapper path — now the
only non-component preview — gets equivalent accept and discard coverage. Both
new tests fail if mode:'error' is removed.

Prepared with AI assistance under maintainer direction.

Framework fixtures

Representative project shapes for exercising live mode against different framework conventions. Each fixture is a small directory tree that the test harness copies into a temp git repo, then drives live-inject.mjs, live-wrap.mjs, live-accept.mjs, and lib/is-generated.mjs against.

Fixtures can also opt into a runtime E2E pass that actually installs dependencies, boots the framework dev server, and drives a Playwright browser to verify the live handshake. See the runtime block below.

Layout

<fixture>/
  files/              project tree the test copies into tmp
  gitignore.txt       becomes .gitignore in tmp (so we can commit the real files here)
  fixture.json        config + expected results the test consumes

fixture.json schema:

{
  "name": "human-readable label",
  "config": { ...contents for .impeccable/live/config.json ... },
  "sourceFiles": ["paths that is-generated should classify as source (false)"],
  "generatedFiles": ["paths that is-generated should classify as generated (true)"],
  "wrapCases": [
    {
      "name": "description",
      "args": { "classes": "...", "tag": "...", "elementId": "..." },
      "expectedFile": "where wrap should land (relative to fixture root)",
      "expectsError": "optional error code, e.g. element_not_in_source"
    }
  ],
  "csp": {
    "shape": "shared-helper | inline-headers | middleware | meta-tag | null",
    "signals": ["diagnostic hints — paths where CSP was detected"],
    "patchTarget": "which file the agent should modify",
    "expectedAfter": "filename of the reference post-patch output inside this fixture"
  },
  "runtime": {
    "styling": "plain-css | tailwind-v4 | styled-components | ...",
    "install": ["npm", "install"],
    "devCommand": ["npm", "run", "dev"],
    "scheme": "http",
    "ignoreHTTPSErrors": false,
    "readyPattern": "Local:\\s+https?://[^:]+:(\\d+)",
    "readyTimeoutMs": 120000,
    "pickSelector": "h1.hero-title",
    "mode": "insert",
    "insert": {
      "anchorSelector": "section#features",
      "position": "after",
      "prompt": "Add a testimonial strip below features",
      "expectSelector": ".inserted-strip",
      "assertAnchorContains": "feature-grid"
    },
    "preActions": [
      { "type": "click", "selector": "[data-testid='open-modal']" },
      { "type": "goto",  "path": "/about" }
    ],
    "reloadProbe": {
      "preActions": [{ "type": "click", "selector": "[data-testid='open-modal']" }],
      "expectSelector": "h1.hero-title"
    },
    "steer": {
      "message": "steer-e2e mark hero",
      "expectSelector": "h1.hero-title[data-impeccable-steer=\"e2e\"]"
    },
    "probe": {
      "expectLiveInit": true,
      "expectConsoleClean": true
    }
  }
}

The expectedAfter file lives alongside fixture.json (not inside files/) and is a human/agent-review reference — tests don't auto-apply the patch.

The runtime block is optional. Fixtures without it only run the static unit checks (is-generated, inject, wrap, csp-detect). Fixtures with it additionally run the E2E suite in tests/live-e2e.test.mjs (bun run test:live-e2e), which:

  1. Stages the fixture into a tmp repo.
  2. Runs runtime.install to install real deps.
  3. Starts live-server.mjs --background and runs live-inject.mjs --port against it.
  4. Spawns runtime.devCommand and scrapes the port from stdout using runtime.readyPattern (the first capture group must be the port).
  5. Opens Playwright Chromium at the dev URL and asserts window.__IMPECCABLE_LIVE_INIT__ === true (the browser-side handshake oracle) within runtime.readyTimeoutMs.
  6. Runs a Steer smoke step (unless runtime.steer === false): submit a message in the global Steer bar, wait for the fake agent to reply steer_done, assert the bar unlocks and a data-impeccable-steer marker lands in source + DOM. Then continues with pick → Go → cycle → accept.
  7. Tears everything down (Playwright close, dev server SIGTERM, live-server stop, tmp rm).

Useful runtime E2E filters:

  • IMPECCABLE_E2E_ONLY=<fixture>[,<fixture>] scopes the run to selected fixture names.
  • IMPECCABLE_E2E_SCENARIOS=core runs only the main click → Go → cycle → accept path; omit it or use all to include manual edit, annotation, and exit probes.
  • IMPECCABLE_E2E_TEST_TIMEOUT_MS, IMPECCABLE_E2E_INSTALL_TIMEOUT_MS, and IMPECCABLE_E2E_DEV_READY_TIMEOUT_MS tighten CI smoke timeouts without changing fixture metadata.

Optional runtime.steer fields:

"steer": {
  "message": "steer-e2e mark hero",
  "sourceFile": "src/routes/About.jsx",
  "expectSelector": "h1.hero-title[data-impeccable-steer=\"e2e\"]",
  "expectSourceContains": "data-impeccable-steer=\"e2e\"",
  "preActions": [{ "type": "click", "selector": "[data-testid='nav-about']" }]
}

When preActions is omitted, steer smoke inherits runtime.preActions to reveal hidden heroes before the DOM check. Source is asserted first; a reload + retry covers HMR lag. Set "steer": false to skip, or "expectDom": false for source-only verification.
