+Do not spend a paid model to see a turn render. `vp run dev` registers the

 An empty database is a bad test. Seed your worktree's `.t3` with a copy of real data instead of pointing at live state:
 
-- The first `vp run dev` in a worktree does this for you when its database is missing. `--no-seed` or `T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0` skips it.
-- Run `vp run migrate-dev-db` with your dev server stopped to refresh. It rebuilds `<worktree>/.t3/userdata/statev2.sqlite` from a read-only copy of `~/.t3/userdata/statev2.sqlite`, the developer's real data. It reads the source in short transactions, because one long read keeps the live server from checkpointing. Copy a large live database any other way only in short reads too, never in one long transaction. It keeps recent projects and their stopped threads, and drops scheduled tasks, pending work, and auth sessions, so your dev server never runs the developer's agents. Raise `--projects` and `--threads-per-project` for more data.
+- The first `vp run dev` in a worktree does this for you when its database is missing and the source is at most 500 MiB. Larger sources warn and dev starts with an empty database. `--no-seed` or `T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0` skips seeding. Manual migration still accepts larger sources and may use substantial disk space before pruning.
+- Run `vp run migrate-dev-db` with your dev server stopped to refresh. It rebuilds `<worktree>/.t3/userdata/statev2.sqlite` from a read-only snapshot of `~/.t3/userdata/statev2.sqlite`, the developer's real data. It keeps recent projects and their stopped threads, and drops scheduled tasks, pending work, and auth sessions, so your dev server never runs the developer's agents. Raise `--projects` and `--threads-per-project` for more data.
 - Refresh `statev2.sqlite`, not `state.sqlite`. The server copies the V1 `state.sqlite` only when `statev2.sqlite` is missing.
 - Bring `secrets` and `settings.json` only if the flow under test needs them.
 - Copy in, never symlink. Data flows one way: into your sandbox, never back out.

 - While you iterate, run `vp test run <files>`. For big files, add `-t "<name>"`.
 - Use `vp run typecheck`, not `npx tsc`; it caches per package. Both run tsc-rs (`typescript` is the `@tsc-rs/typescript` drop-in).
 - Run `node -e` snippets from `apps/server` or the owning package. `effect` does not resolve from the repo root.
-- Test meaningful logic or observable behavior. Do not render components to static markup to assert props or attributes, or add tests that merely assert callback wiring or mirror the implementation.
+- Test behavior that can break, such as orchestration and event-sourcing, provider protocol translation, auth and permission guards, persistence and migrations, external-format parsing, race fixes, and the logic a bug fix changed. Leave out tests for what types already guarantee, trivial logic, copy text, smoke runs, mock-call mirrors, callback wiring, and props rendered to static markup.
+- Extend before you add. When an existing test or table covers the behavior, add a row or an assertion there. Write a new `it` only when no case fits.
+- Test at one layer: the lowest one that fails on `main`. Do not repeat the case in a wrapper test, at each call site, or in web and mobile copies of the same logic.
+- [Testing](docs/internals/testing.md) carries these same test rules, plus review guidance, for review bots. Change both together.
 - **Do not run repo-wide checks.** No `vp check`, no `vp run -r test`, no `vp run -r typecheck` unless I ask. CI owns the full suite.
 - Backend behavior changes ship with focused tests for that behavior.
-- Proof for a bug fix depends on the bug. Logic, data, state, and protocol bugs get a failing test first (the fewest that fail on `main` for that reason, in the module's existing test file), then the fix. Purely visual bugs (spacing, colour, alignment, a layout shift) get before/after captures as their proof and no test: do not add UI tests for nitpicks, and do not ask for one in review when a capture already shows it. A server-only fix with no visible surface ships the test plus a short runtime transcript.

In tests, drain the effect worker (`OrchestrationEffectWorkerV2.drain`) or await the specific persisted event or `Deferred` that marks the milestone. Never wait on sleeps or polling. A test that needs a timeout to pass is wrong. Concretely:
   - `it.effect` runs on a `TestClock`; `Effect.sleep` only advances through `TestClock.adjust`. `it.live` is wall-clock and only for subprocess or network fixtures.
   - No `yieldNow` or `sleep` polling loops. Await the `Deferred`, take from the `Queue`, or drain the worker.

 - Upon request, user-visible frontend changes should get one integrated pass in a real client: `test-t3-app` for web, `test-t3-mobile` for mobile. The primary agent does this once after integrating. Subagents do not launch their own dev servers. Ask permission before doing computer use or spinning up browsers.
 
-For authorized mobile verification, a missing or outdated native client is a build step, not a blocker. Run `node scripts/mobile-native-client.ts ensure <ios|android> <device-id>` on the simulator host before starting Metro. It checks the local Expo fingerprint and builds/installs when needed. See `test-t3-mobile` for the full workflow.
+- Real agent turns cost money. To watch a turn stream through the pipeline and UI, use the free `Replay (dev)` provider that `vp run dev` registers; [test-t3-app](.agents/skills/test-t3-app/SKILL.md) shows how to start one. Use a real provider only when the change depends on that provider's behavior, and then pick its cheapest model, such as Haiku for Claude or Luna for Codex.

+For authorized mobile verification, a missing or outdated native client is an install step, not a blocker. Run `vp run mobile:install <ios|android> [device-id]` on the device host before starting Metro; it targets the only booted simulator or connected Android device when the id is omitted. It installs the dev client for this checkout's native fingerprint from the shared cache in seconds and builds only when no machine has built it yet, so prefer it over `expo run:*`, `xcodebuild`, or `gradlew`, which rebuild from scratch. Its stdout is one JSON line; build output goes to the log it names. See `test-t3-mobile` for the full workflow.

+## Evals
+
+`evals/` checks how real models behave with T3 Code's model-facing text: agent instructions, MCP tool descriptions and schemas, and generated titles. Before you change that text, read [evals/README.md](evals/README.md) and run the evals it names. When you fix a model behavior bug, add a case that fails before the fix.

 - `docs/internals/` is for architectural decisions and their reasons, constraints that span components, and implementation traps that are hard to discover from the source. Before adding a paragraph, ask what a maintainer would get wrong without it. If reading the relevant code answers the question, leave it out.
 - Do not document every feature, enumerate fields or methods, narrate control flow, maintain file catalogs, or append PR summaries. Types, tests, and code already record the implementation. The glossary defines shared vocabulary; it is not a feature index.

+- A local reason the code can't show goes in a short nearby code comment. Use an internal doc when the reasoning crosses boundaries or needs context the code cannot carry well. Link to the relevant source instead of copying it.
 - When a documented decision or constraint changes, rewrite or remove the affected text. Do not append another account of the new behavior. A new internal page needs a distinct, durable reason to exist.
 - `docs/user/` helps users accomplish tasks. Give each major feature a concise section explaining what it does, how to start, and anything unintuitive. A settings path is useful; descriptions of visible buttons, icons, layouts, animations, or every UI state are not. Before adding text, ask what task or decision it helps the user with.
 - Keep user docs in the shipped product's voice, without implementation details or contributor tooling. Update the relevant feature section when how to use it changes. A UI tweak does not need a documentation entry, and a new control does not need its own page.

-An externally installed client is unverified until the helper builds it once.
+The device argument can be omitted when exactly one device is booted or connected. The helper
+compares this checkout's Expo fingerprint and the installed binary with its last install record,
+and reuses a matching client. Otherwise it installs the build for that fingerprint from
+`~/.cache/t3code/native-clients/artifacts`, then the shared task cache, and builds only when
+neither has it. One iOS simulator build serves every iPhone and iPad simulator, and one APK per
+ABI (x86_64 or arm64-v8a) serves every emulator and phone of that ABI. Build output goes to the
+log file it prints (`T3_NATIVE_CLIENT_VERBOSE=1` streams it instead). Builds are shared back when
+your task-cache login (`bash infra/task-cache/install.sh`) can write. `T3_NATIVE_CLIENT_CACHE=read`
+skips the upload and `off` skips the shared cache. Physical iPhones still use `vp run ios:dev`.
+
+`--session <name>` installs into an agent-device session opened elsewhere, such as a device pool
+or a cloud simulator, instead of a local device: `vp run mobile:install android --session pool-1
+--metro http://<this-machine>:8081`. It uses only the cached build (x86_64 by default; `--abi`
+for ARM) and fails with the next step when no machine has built this fingerprint yet.
+
+For a read-only decision, run `node ../../scripts/mobile-native-client.ts check <ios|android>
+[device]`: exit 0 means compatible, 2 means an install is needed, and 1 means an operational error.
+An externally installed client is unverified until the helper installs it once.

+The Enriched Markdown tarball comes from Julius's [`fork/t3-mobile` branch](https://github.com/pingdotgg/enriched-markdown/tree/fork/t3-mobile). Its `t3-fork.json` records the exact source commit and upstream base. React block renderers and signed image sources (`renderers`, `resolveImageSource`) are upstream. The fork carries native streaming memory bounds (an 8 MiB measurement-key budget and coalesced pending renders), plus changes with an open upstream PR: the `onLinksChange` link list that link pills and iOS link menus read ([#1088](https://github.com/software-mansion/enriched-markdown/pull/1088)), Android inline image alignment ([#1089](https://github.com/software-mansion/enriched-markdown/pull/1089)), clipboard link metadata ([#962](https://github.com/software-mansion/enriched-markdown/pull/962)), development-host autolinks ([#961](https://github.com/software-mansion/enriched-markdown/pull/961)), and `md4cFlags.preserveWindowsPaths`, which keeps backslashes in Windows drive paths in prose ([#1105](https://github.com/software-mansion/enriched-markdown/pull/1105), after [md4c#5](https://github.com/software-mansion-labs/md4c/pull/5)).
 
 To replace it, commit the fork changes, run `yarn install --immutable` and `yarn workspace react-native-enriched-markdown prepare` in the fork checkout, then `node scripts/pack-t3.mjs /path/to/t3code/apps/mobile/deps`. Keep the package version aligned with Julius's `fork/t3-mobile` branch. Rename the archive to include the first eight characters of the source commit, such as `react-native-enriched-markdown-1.2.0-t3.16-8d2f84a8.tgz`, so each build has a distinct dependency path without version bumps. Update the tarball path in `apps/mobile/package.json` and `pnpm-workspace.yaml`'s `allowBuilds`, and run `vp i` to update the lockfile. Native clients need rebuilding when this dependency changes.

+# Android native regressions
+
+From the repository root:
+
+```sh
+apps/mobile/modules/t3-review-diff/tests/run-android.sh
+```
+
+Requires JDK 17+ (`JAVA_HOME`) and Gradle on `PATH`. Tested with JDK 17 and
+Gradle 9.4.1. To use another installed Gradle or a wrapper, set
+`GRADLE=/absolute/path/to/gradle` before the command. The runner resolves its own
+location, so it also works from other directories. Gradle test options are
+forwarded, for example `--tests '*ReviewDiffViewportTest' --rerun-tasks`.
+
+This standalone JVM build registers the viewport and geometry regressions and the
+module's existing `android/src/test` layout suite with Gradle's `test` task. It
+compiles the module's actual Android view, drawing, and layout sources. Pinned Maven dependencies supply Kotlin, Robolectric, Android API 35,
+and AndroidX test classes. The first run requires access to Maven Central and
+Google Maven, including Robolectric's runtime SDK download. No local Android
+SDK, Expo prebuild, device, temporary checkout, or pre-extracted jars are needed.
+Generated files stay in ignored `build/` and `.gradle/` directories; the HTML
+report is `build/reports/tests/test/index.html`.
+
+The three files under `stubs/expo/modules/kotlin/` replace only Expo's context, view base class, and event
+dispatcher. Events go to a per-test context instead of a React Native bridge.
+This checks reset/decode ordering, stale-row removal, and viewport publication
+in the real view, but does not validate Expo registration, JS event delivery,
+native libraries, or device rendering. These stubs are exclusive to this
+standalone build and must not be added to the production Android source set.
+Geometry regressions bound sticky-header row reads, check lazy ASCII layout
+retention and syntax invalidation, and compare ASCII widths against Android
+paint metrics. Native shaping tests cover tabs, Unicode clusters, and styled
+word-diff spans.

-# Native Fork Continuation Fixture
-
-This fixture records a provider-native fork followed by two turns on the fork.
-It verifies that:
-
-1. The fork inherits conversation context from its source.
-2. Context introduced on the fork remains available on later fork turns.
-3. The final recall prompt does not contain either marker, so the response must
-   come from provider conversation state.
-
-Both `codex_transcript.ndjson` and `claude_transcript.ndjson` record the same
-logical scenario using each provider's native thread or session mechanism.
-
-## Conversation Graph
-
-```text
-Source provider thread
-|
-+-- Turn 1
-|   User: remember source-marker-7Q9V
-|   Assistant: source marker stored
-|
-`-- native fork after Turn 1
-    |
-    `-- Forked provider thread
-        |
-        +-- Turn 2
-        |   User: remember fork-marker-2K4M
-        |   Assistant: fork marker stored
-        |
-        `-- Turn 3
-            User: recall both markers without restating them
-            Assistant: source-marker-7Q9V|fork-marker-2K4M
-```
-
-## Assertions
-
-- The fork has a native provider thread or session ID distinct from its source.
-- Turn 3's user prompt contains neither opaque marker.
-- Turn 3 returns the source marker first and the fork-local marker second.
-
-The providers may add whitespace around `|`; replay assertions normalize that
-formatting before comparing the semantic result.
-
-## Scope
-
-This is a provider-capability fixture. It proves native fork inheritance and
-continued fork context. It does not record or assert app-level merge-back
-behavior.

-# Native Sibling Forks Fixture
-
-This fixture records two independent provider-native forks from the same source
-turn. It verifies that both forks inherit source context while keeping their
-fork-local context isolated.
-
-Both `codex_transcript.ndjson` and `claude_transcript.ndjson` record the same
-logical scenario using each provider's native thread or session mechanism.
-
-## Conversation Graph
-
-```text
-Source provider thread
-|
-`-- Turn 1
-    User: remember sibling-source-8R3D
-    Assistant: sibling source stored
-    |
-    +-- native fork A after Turn 1
-    |   |
-    |   `-- Turn 2A
-    |       User: remember sibling-first-5L2P and recall source + local
-    |       Assistant: sibling-source-8R3D|sibling-first-5L2P
-    |
-    `-- native fork B after Turn 1
-        |
-        `-- Turn 2B
-            User: remember sibling-second-9N6C and recall source + local
-            Assistant: sibling-source-8R3D|sibling-second-9N6C
-```
-
-Fork B is created from the original source provider thread, not from fork A.
-
-## Assertions
-
-- Fork A and fork B have distinct native provider thread or session IDs.
-- Both fork responses contain the source marker.
-- Fork A contains its own marker and does not contain fork B's marker.
-- Fork B contains its own marker and does not contain fork A's marker.
-
-The providers may add whitespace around `|`; replay assertions normalize that
-formatting before comparing the semantic result.
-
-## Scope
-
-This is a provider-capability fixture. It proves native sibling topology,
-source-context inheritance, and branch isolation. It does not record or assert
-app-level merge-back behavior or the resulting source-thread context.

As a delegated child task, do not watch or poll PRs; return PR URLs, head SHA, and pending review/check state to your parent.

-const CODEX_PLAN_MODE_DEVELOPER_INSTRUCTIONS = `<collaboration_mode># Plan Mode (Conversational)
-
-You are in **Plan Mode** until a developer message explicitly ends it. User intent, tone, or imperative language does not change the mode: treat a request to execute as a request to **plan the execution**. Chat your way to a plan that is **decision complete**: detailed enough in intent and implementation that another engineer or agent could implement it right away without making any decisions.
-
-\`update_plan\` is a separate checklist/progress tool. It does not enter or exit Plan Mode, and it returns an error if used in Plan Mode.
-
-## Non-mutating work only
-
-Do non-mutating work that improves the plan: read and search files, configs, schemas, types, manifests, and docs; run static analysis, dry runs, and tests, builds, or checks that write only to caches or build artifacts (for example \`target/\` or \`.cache/\`), never to repo-tracked files.
-
-Do not edit or write files, run formatters or linters that rewrite files, apply patches, migrations, or codegen that change repo-tracked files, or run side-effectful commands that carry out the plan. When in doubt: if it would reasonably be described as "doing the work" rather than "planning the work," do not do it.
-
-## Phases
-
-1. **Ground in the environment.** Resolve discoverable facts by exploring, not asking; silent exploration is encouraged. Do at least one targeted exploration pass before asking anything, unless no local environment is available. You may ask first only about obvious ambiguities or contradictions in the prompt itself, and only when exploring could not resolve them. Never ask what the repo or system can answer (for example, "where is this struct?"). If several plausible candidates remain, present them (paths, service names) and recommend one.
-2. **Intent.** Keep asking until you can state the goal and success criteria, audience, what is in and out of scope, constraints, current state, and key preferences or tradeoffs. If a high-impact ambiguity remains, ask instead of guessing.
-3. **Implementation.** Once intent is stable, keep asking until the spec is decision complete: approach, interfaces (APIs, schemas, I/O), data flow, edge cases and failure modes, testing and acceptance criteria, rollout and monitoring, and migrations or compatibility constraints.
-
-## Asking questions
-
-Strongly prefer the \`request_user_input\` tool, with only meaningful options and no filler. Ask directly without it only when an unavoidable, important question cannot be expressed as reasonable multiple-choice options. Ask as many questions as needed, but each must materially change the plan, confirm or lock an assumption, or choose between meaningful tradeoffs, and must not be answerable by non-mutating exploration. Ask about preferences and tradeoffs early, with 2-4 mutually exclusive options and a recommended default; if unanswered, proceed with the recommendation and record it as an assumption in the final plan.
-
-## Final plan
-
-Present the plan only when it is decision complete, wrapped in a \`<proposed_plan>\` block so the client can render it:
-
-1) The opening tag must be on its own line.
-2) Start the plan content on the next line (no text on the same line as the tag).
-3) The closing tag must be on its own line.
-4) Use Markdown inside the block.
-5) Keep the tags exactly as \`<proposed_plan>\` and \`</proposed_plan>\` (do not translate or rename them), even if the plan content is in another language.
-
-<proposed_plan>
-plan content
-</proposed_plan>
-
-The plan is plan-only, human and agent digestible, and concise by default. Include a clear title, a brief summary, important changes to public APIs, interfaces, or types, test cases and scenarios, and explicit assumptions and defaults. Prefer 3-5 short sections (usually Summary, Key Changes, Test Plan, Assumptions) with short bullets grouped by subsystem or behavior, not file-by-file; name files only to disambiguate, usually no more than 3. Leave out repeated invariants, unaffected behavior, and schema, validation, or wire-shape policy the request does not establish; prefer the minimum interface and behavior changes. Expand only if the user asks.

-Do not ask "should I proceed?": the user can switch out of Plan mode to implement, or stay to refine. Produce at most one \`<proposed_plan>\` block per turn. A revised plan must be a complete replacement. If the user rejects the plan without enough information for a replacement, address the concern and keep planning without a block. If a follow-up neither requires changes nor calls the plan into question (for example, a clarifying question), answer it before the block, then reproduce the prior \`<proposed_plan>\` unchanged.

-Use the \`request_user_input\` tool only when it is listed in the available tools for this turn.

+## Selecting versus drilling in

+Opening a page has two intents, and each has one action:
+
+- **Select** shows a thread or pull request as the workspace's only page, the
+  way a list row does. Everything that selects (rows, the command palette,
+  compose, notifications, deep links) uses
+  [`selectWorkspaceDetail`](../../apps/mobile/src/features/workspace/workspace-detail-selection.ts),

+  phones, collapsed splits, and expanded splits. Only route keys differ: the
+  page already showing keeps its key, so the detail column updates in place
+  instead of pushing.
+- **Drill in** opens a page over the current one so Back returns, with
+  `StackActions.push`.
+
+`navigate` to `Thread` or `PullRequest` is rejected by lint, because it pushes
+or updates in place depending on what happens to be on top. Never infer the
+choice from transition events: UIKit reports the sidebar column appearing in
+split views too. The one native signal the router uses is the card native Back
+is popping. The workspace navigator reports it, and a selection never reuses
+that card.
+
+Beside the list, Settings pages share one native screen whose content swaps,

+## Peer links
+
+A [peer link](../../apps/server/src/peer/PeerLinks.ts) lets one environment's
+agents work in another. The linking environment signs in to the other's `/mcp`
+as an outside MCP client, with a pairing code from it, and keeps that session's
+token in its own secret store. The other environment needs nothing new: it
+sees one more OAuth client, lists it in Connections, and revokes it there.
+Unlinking on the linking side only forgets the token.
+
+- **The Linked environments beta (`linkedEnvironmentsEnabled`) gates both
+  sides.** Off on the linking side, `PeerLinks.link`, link requests and
+  `PeerForwarding.call`/`links` refuse; `readThread`, `waitForThread` and
+  `interruptThread` do not, so a remote task already running still completes
+  and can still be cancelled. Off on the receiving side, link registrations are
+  refused and link sessions get a 403, which the linking side reports as
+  retryable so the task's follower waits rather than failing it.
+- **A tool runs in a linked environment when its parameters take
+  `OrchestratorMcpEnvironmentTarget`** as `environmentId`.
+  [`McpToolAccess.toLayer`](../../apps/server/src/mcp/McpToolAccess.ts) sends
+  such a call there once the tool's access declaration has checked the caller,
+  so a read-only or ended caller is refused before anything is sent. The
+  thread or project the call names is checked where it lives. A tool that acts
+  as the calling thread itself cannot take a linked environment.
+- **Every forwarded call carries the calling agent's modes** in
+  `T3-Mode-Limit`, which the receiving `/mcp` only ever narrows the client's
+  approved access with. A plan-mode agent therefore cannot start full-access
+  work through a full-access link.
+- **The token goes only to an address that proves it is the linked
+  environment**: its descriptor must report the linked environment id. A LAN
+  address that now belongs to another machine never receives it.
+- **All callers on one side share the link's single session on the other**,
+  so idempotency keys are hashed with the caller's namespace before they
+  leave. Without that, two agents reusing a key would collide on the far side.
+- **A forwarded wait is split into calls of at most 50 s**, because the
+  receiving `/mcp` sends nothing while a wait is open and T3 Connect's edge
+  drops idle requests after about 100 s.
+
+**Work a link paired below full access starts stays within that link.** The
+receiving environment knows a session is a peer link because the linking side
+registers its OAuth client with the `t3code-peer-link` software id, and the
+marker is signed into the session. Threads that session launches carry it, with
+the access it was paired with, as an immutable `linkOrigin`, and so do the
+subagents, forks and `create_threads` they derive. The rules live in
+[`mcp/linkOrigin.ts`](../../apps/server/src/mcp/linkOrigin.ts) and run in the
+shared access declarations, not tool by tool:
+
+- linked work may change only threads with the same origin, not the user's own
+  threads and not another link's;
+- it cannot change projects, settings or scheduled tasks, nor use the receiving
+  environment's own links;
+- its project setup scripts are skipped
+  ([`ProjectSetupScriptRunner`](../../apps/server/src/project/ProjectSetupScriptRunner.ts)
+  checks every path that runs them).
+
+Reads are not fenced, and a client's own `thread.create` can never carry
+`linkOrigin`.
+
+**A delegated task can run in a linked environment.** Its child is then an
+ordinary thread there, so the parent here records the task without a child
+thread of its own (`remoteChild` instead of `childThreadId`). A follower in
+[`RemoteDelegation`](../../apps/server/src/peer/RemoteDelegation.ts) waits on
+that thread and completes the task with `delegated_task.remote.complete`. That
+internal command reuses the parent half of a local finalize, so the parent
+wakes the same way. Open remote tasks are followed again at startup, which is
+also what keeps restart recovery from treating them as abandoned provider work.
+
+The link is routing, not isolation: an agent the link starts runs as the
+receiving environment's user. **A full-access link is therefore not fenced**:
+its agents can already do anything that user can, so the fence would only stop
+T3's own tools. Its work still carries `linkOrigin`, so clients show where it
+came from. A stamp without the access, from before it was recorded, is fenced.

+# Testing
+
+Rules for writing tests, and for asking for them in review. AGENTS.md carries the same writing rules under Verifying; change both together.
+
+## What to test
+
+- Test behavior that can break, such as orchestration and event-sourcing, provider protocol translation, auth and permission guards, persistence and migrations, external-format parsing, race fixes, and the logic a bug fix changed. Leave out tests for what types already guarantee, trivial logic, copy text, smoke runs, mock-call mirrors, callback wiring, and props rendered to static markup.
+- Extend before you add. When an existing test or table covers the behavior, add a row or an assertion there. Write a new `it` only when no case fits.
+- Test at one layer: the lowest one that fails on `main`. Do not repeat the case in a wrapper test, at each call site, or in web and mobile copies of the same logic.
+- In review, ask for a missing test only when it would catch a real regression. Do not ask for one assertion per constant, label, or `switch` case. Flag a new test that breaks the rules above, and name the fix: fold it into the existing case or table, delete it, or keep one layer.
+- Backend behavior changes ship with focused tests for that behavior.
+- Proof for a bug fix depends on the bug. Logic, data, state, and protocol bugs get a failing test first (the fewest that fail on `main` for that reason, in an existing case of the module's test file where one fits), then the fix. Purely visual bugs (spacing, colour, alignment, a layout shift) get before/after captures as their proof and no test: do not add UI tests for nitpicks, and do not ask for one in review when a capture already shows it. A server-only fix with no visible surface ships the test plus a short runtime transcript.
+
+## Waiting for work
+
+- The server is event-sourced, and side effects run after the command commits. In tests, drain the effect worker (`OrchestrationEffectWorkerV2.drain`) or await the specific persisted event or `Deferred` that marks the milestone. Never wait on sleeps or polling. A test that needs a timeout to pass is wrong. Concretely:
+  - `it.effect` runs on a `TestClock`; `Effect.sleep` only advances through `TestClock.adjust`. `it.live` is wall-clock and only for subprocess or network fixtures.
+  - No `yieldNow` or `sleep` polling loops. Await the `Deferred`, take from the `Queue`, or drain the worker.
+  - No per-test timeout argument or `retry`. The project timeout is the ceiling, and flaky tests are fixed, not retried.
+  - No `performance.now()` or `Date.now()` deltas. Assert on events and counts, not elapsed time.
+  - Browser tests assert through `expect.element` or `vi.waitFor`, never `requestAnimationFrame` or `transitionend`.
+  - `vi.mock` factories must not spread a real module that pulls in Shiki or the diff workers.
+  - `it.skip` and friends need a tracking issue on the line above: `// quarantine: #1234 <why>`.
+  - Lint enforces this: `t3code/no-test-timeout-or-unreasoned-skip`, `t3code/no-frame-waits-in-browser-tests`, `t3code/no-wall-clock-in-tests`, `t3code/no-real-time-wait-in-tests`, `t3code/no-polling-loop-in-tests`.
+
+## Web browser tests
+
+- Web browser tests are `*.browser.test.tsx` or `*.browser.test.ts` and render with `await using screen = await render(...)` from `apps/web/test/render.tsx`. `t3code/require-disposable-render` errors on the old patterns.
+  - Acquire what the test drives after mounting (fake timers it advances, spies it sets up after mounting) after the render, so it disposes before the unmount. Anything the first render reads comes before it.
+  - A helper that renders and then waits or clicks puts the screen in an `AsyncDisposableStack` and `move()`s it out only on success, so a failed wait still unmounts.
+  - `rerender` needs a fresh element on every call.
+  - No lifecycle hooks and no module-level mutable state. Shared mock state that `vi.mock` factories read is reset by a `setup()` call at the top of the test.
+  - `router` is on by default. Pass `router: false` only with a one-line comment saying why.
+
+  ```tsx
+  it("saves on Enter", async () => {
+    const onSave = vi.fn();
+    using _now = vi.spyOn(Date, "now").mockReturnValue(0);
+    await using screen = await render(<TitleEditor onSave={onSave} />, { router: "/threads/1" });
+    await userEvent.type(screen.getByRole("textbox"), "Title{Enter}");
+    expect(onSave).toHaveBeenCalledWith("Title");
+  });

+## Mobile crashes and errors
+
+The mobile app reports through [`expo-observe`](https://docs.expo.dev/eas/observe/). Its
+`endpointUrl` points at the relay (`/v1/mobile/observe`, set in `apps/mobile/app.config.ts` from
+`T3CODE_RELAY_URL`), because Observe cannot send auth headers and prefixes every path with the EAS
+project id. The relay forwards each request to Axiom with its own token: logs (JavaScript errors,
+native crashes, log events) to `t3-code-mobile-logs-*`, metrics to `t3-code-mobile-metrics-*`, and
+spans to the shared traces dataset. Expo's Observe dashboard receives nothing. The endpoint URL is
+compiled into the native app, so pointing it elsewhere takes a store build.
+
+Hermes stacks from release builds are minified bytecode offsets. On the way through, the relay
+rewrites each JavaScript exception's `exception.stacktrace` with the bundle's source map from R2
+and records the outcome on the log record:
+
+- `relay.symbolication.status`: `symbolicated`, or why not. `no_bundle_id` is a development or
+  local build. `source_map_missing` means no map was uploaded for the bundle;
+  `source_map_too_large`, `source_map_invalid` and `source_map_unavailable` (R2 unreadable, retried
+  shortly) mean one was. `source_map_limit` is a request naming more bundles than the relay decodes
+  at once, and `no_bundle_frames` a stack with no frames from the bundle.
+- `relay.symbolication.source_map`: the R2 key used
+- `relay.symbolication.raw_stacktrace`: the original stack, when it was rewritten
+
+iOS frames lose their install path (`/private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/<uuid>/...`), which
+differs per install, so `exception.stacktrace` groups across users.
+
+A fatal JavaScript error ends in a native abort, which Observe reports as a second crash with a
+generic React Native stack. The relay marks that one `relay.crash.js_fatal` when both arrive in one
+request, as they do on the next launch. Leave it out to count real native crashes:
+
+```apl
+['t3-code-mobile-logs-prod']
+| where ['attributes.expo.error.source'] == 'nativeCrash'
+| where isnull(['attributes.relay.crash.js_fatal'])
+| summarize count() by ['attributes.exception.type'], ['attributes.exception.message']
+```
+
+Native crash stacks (`expo.error.source == 'nativeCrash'`) are not symbolicated. On iOS, app frames
+read like `main (T3Code + 19476)`: the offset into the app binary. The build hook uploads that
+build's dSYMs to `ios/dsym/<easBuildId>.zip`; download it with an account R2 token, then:
+
+```sh
+unzip <easBuildId>.zip
+atos -arch arm64 -o T3Code.app.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/T3Code -l 0x100000000 \
+  $(printf '0x%x' $((0x100000000 + 19476)))
+```
+
+Maps are keyed by the bundle that crashed: `<platform>/ota/<updateId>.map` for OTA updates and
+`<platform>/build/<easBuildId>.map` for the bundle embedded in a store build. The production
+mobile workflow uploads OTA maps after `eas update`, and the `eas-build-on-success` hook in
+`apps/mobile/package.json` uploads a build's map, both with `apps/mobile/scripts/upload-sourcemaps.mts`.
+They need the `MOBILE_SOURCEMAPS_R2` secret, a JSON value the stack outputs as
+`mobileSourceMapsUploadCredentials` from a token that can only write to the bucket. Creating that
+token needs **Account API Tokens: Edit** on the deploy token. Deploy output shows it redacted; read
+it from state, where it is under `__redacted__`:
+
+```sh
+cd infra/relay && vp exec alchemy state read T3CodeRelay/prod/output
+```
+
+Set it as a GitHub Actions secret, for OTA updates, and as an EAS environment variable with
+`secret` visibility in the `production` environment only, for builds. Keep it out of `preview`:
+PR preview builds run the PR's code in that environment. In CI only the upload step gets it, not
+`eas update` and the dependencies it runs. If the deploy replaces the token, update both.
+
+The `t3-code-mobile-health` dashboard is the place to look every few days: crash and handled
+error counts, top crashes with the installs and app versions they hit, crashes by version, whether
+stacks are symbolicated, and whether reports reach the relay at all. A crash counts once: the
+native abort after a JS crash (`relay.crash.js_fatal`) is left out. Startup times are metrics, so
+they are not on it; query `t3-code-mobile-metrics-*` with MPL. Prod and PR previews get the
+dashboard, and deployments with `RELAY_ALERT_NOTIFIER_ID` get these monitors
+([`infra/relay/src/mobileTelemetry/monitoring.ts`](../../infra/relay/src/mobileTelemetry/monitoring.ts)):
+
+- **crash spike** (pages): crashes per 15 min well above the same time over the last 7 days. Until
+  a week of data exists it has no baseline. A spike right after a release usually means a bad OTA
+  update; roll it back in EAS.
+- **one crash hitting many installs** (pages): a single crash on 25 installs within an hour.
+- **reports stopped** (warning): no startup metrics forwarded for an hour, so crashes are not
+  arriving either.
+- **crash stacks not symbolicated** (warning): over half of release JS stacks stayed minified for
+  6 h. `relay.symbolication.status` names the cause.
+
+Thresholds are starting points, not measured baselines; revisit them after two weeks of
+production data.
+
+Without it, uploads are skipped with a warning and stacks stay minified. Each ingest request is one
+`relay.mobile_telemetry.ingest` span; `relay.mobile_telemetry.outcome` is `forwarded`,
+`rate_limited`, `body_too_large`, `upstream_unavailable`, or `upstream_timeout`.

 - Builds a self-contained CLI archive per platform (`t3-<version>-<platform>-<arch>.tar.gz`, `.zip` on Windows) in the same job as that target's desktop artifact and attaches them to the GitHub Release with a `SHA256SUMS` file, on every channel, for five targets: macOS arm64, Linux x64 and arm64, Windows x64 and arm64. Every archive is smoke-tested on hardware of its own architecture, and every one but the Windows archives is also built and signed there. There is no macOS x64 archive: Node single-executables are unsupported on x64 macOS (the SEA docs list macOS as arm64 only) and the binary segfaults on start; the x64 desktop app is Electron and unaffected.
   - The archive holds the server as a Node single-executable (`scripts/build-cli-archive.ts`), so unpacking it needs neither Node, npm, nor a compiler. It is the only form in which T3 Code manages a runtime: the desktop's SSH environments, the boot service, `t3 update`, and the install scripts all download and verify this archive against `SHA256SUMS`. The `t3` npm package exists for people who run `npx t3` or `npm install -g t3` themselves, and it downloads this same archive too; nothing in the product installs from npm. The `curl | sh` installers are `scripts/install.sh` and `scripts/install.ps1`; the marketing site copies them into its `public/` at build time (`apps/marketing/scripts/stage-install-scripts.mjs`) and serves them at `t3.codes/install.sh` and `/install.ps1`.

Keep it exact: cross-target builds download that version, and native executable builds reject a different host Node version.

Revert when [nodejs/node#67048](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/67048) is fixed. Runtime changes need a new T3 release version because installed runtimes are cached by that version.
   - macOS archives are signed with the Developer ID certificate and notarized when the Apple secrets are present (ad hoc otherwise, which still runs from `curl`/`tar` installs). Windows executables use the same Azure Trusted Signing setup as the installer. Every native addon in the macOS archive is signed too, since the hardened runtime refuses unsigned libraries.
   - Each archive is extracted and executed (`scripts/smoke-cli-archive.ts`) on its build runner, or on the `verify_runner` for Windows.
 - After the GitHub Release is published, publishes the `t3` npm package with OIDC trusted publishing from the same workflow file. It is only a launcher (`scripts/npm-launcher/t3.mjs`): on first run it downloads its exact version's CLI archive from the GitHub Release, verifies it against `SHA256SUMS`, and unpacks it into `<T3 home>/runtime/versions/<version>`, the layout the install scripts and `t3 update` share. The executables are not on npm. They used to be, as `@t3code/t3-<platform>-<arch>` optional dependencies, but npm's publish-time scanning held those 80-250 MB packages back for up to an hour after the launcher was live, and every install in that window got a launcher with no executable. Those packages stay on npm at their old versions and get no new ones. Because the launcher reads from the release, `publish_cli` runs after `release`, never before.

+The connected T3 server manages the device hub and agent tools on its own machine and configured SSH hosts. Required versions install automatically the next time those tools are used. Settings → Devices → Check versions reads installed versions without installing tools or starting devices.
 
 To receive newer tool versions on a remote environment, update that environment's T3 server. Updating only the browser or mobile app does not update the remote server. An offline host keeps its installed files, but an update needs network access before device support can start; T3 does not fall back to an older version. Reconnect the host and use Retry if installation fails. Existing device and agent-access settings are preserved.

+# FAQ
+
+## Is T3 Code a harness?
+
+No. A harness is what turns an LLM into an agent: it gives the model tools, a way to call them, runs them, and hands the results back. Claude Code is kind of a harness. It is an interface (the TUI, the Code tab in the desktop app) plus a harness underneath (the Anthropic Agent SDK). Codex is the same split: the app plus the Codex App Server. T3 Code uses those harnesses. It is not a harness, and it does not work without one.
+
+Chef = LLM. Kitchen = harness. T3 Code = the restaurant that lets you bring whatever kitchen you want. Our MCP is a cookbook we hand the kitchen, but the chef won't open it unless you tell them to :) I wrote the long version here: [What is a harness?](https://t3.gg/blog/post/what-is-a-harness)
+
+Bring your own: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok Build, OpenCode, Google Antigravity, Pi, or Muse Code. [Provider setup](./install.md#providers)
+
+## Why use T3 Code instead of Claude Code or the Codex app?
+
+We were inspired by the Codex desktop app, Conductor, Claude Desktop, and Cursor Glass, but none met our bar. What you get:
+
+- Bring your own sub. Claude, Codex, and whatever else you already have installed.
+- Best in class remote. Run `npx t3 connect` on any box and drive it from anywhere.
+- Best in class mobile app.
+- Truly 100% open source. If we go the wrong direction, fork it.
+
+Every harness feels nearly identical in here, so you can stop worrying about harnesses and focus on building :) [Install](./install.md)
+
+## Can I use T3 Code with my Claude Code subscription?
+
+Yes.
+
+## How much does T3 Code cost?
+
+Nothing. There's no way to pay us to use T3 Code. You bring your own sub. It is free and open source (MIT). You still pay your provider like you already do. T3 Connect is free too, for now. Every account can connect up to 3 machines running T3 Code. Phones and browsers that connect to them do not count. Need more? Link a paid T3 Chat account. [More machines](#can-i-connect-more-than-3-machines-with-t3-connect) We don't want to charge for this, but if the bill gets unacceptable we may have to change course. If you hit limits or have issues, you can always fork it, self host, or use Tailscale. [Install](./install.md)
+
+## Can I connect more than 3 machines with T3 Connect?
+
+Yes. Link your T3 Chat account and T3 Connect raises your limit: up to 10 machines with T3 Chat Pro, or 100 with Premier. Open your account menu in T3 Code, go to **T3 Chat**, and select **Link T3 Chat**. Sign in to T3 Chat and approve. The free T3 Chat plan keeps the normal limit of 3. [More machines with T3 Chat](./remote-access.md#more-machines-with-t3-chat)
+
+## Why is my Claude 5-hour limit draining so fast?
+
+T3 Code drives Claude through Anthropic's Agent SDK. I confirmed it's a real bug on Anthropic's side: all Agent SDK usage will drain your 5h limits faster than using Claude Code directly. To be clear: this does not affect weekly limits. We have reported it to Anthropic and are hoping for a fix soon. [My post on it](https://x.com/theo/status/2114166439813017873)
+
+## How do I use T3 Code remotely?
+
+Your agents run wherever T3 Code runs: your desktop, a server, a VPS. You connect to it from anywhere. I do this constantly. Less than 5% of my prompts run on my laptop. Run `npx t3 connect` on that machine and you get really good remote support. T3 Connect is the easy path. LAN pairing and Tailscale work too, and [app.t3.codes](https://app.t3.codes) is the web client. [Remote access](./remote-access.md)
+
+## How do I use T3 Code on my phone?
+
+Get the [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/t3-code-remote-claude-more/id6787819824) or [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.t3tools.t3code) app, then connect it to your computer with T3 Connect or a pairing link. The phone is a remote. Your computer does the work and needs to stay on. [Mobile setup](./install.md#mobile-app) · [Remote access](./remote-access.md)
+
+## Why does T3 Connect keep disconnecting?
+
+T3 Connect is our built-in alternative to Tailscale for remote connections. If it keeps dropping, open **Settings > Connections**, find the machine, and select **Details**. The first part marked as failed is the cause. I will not be disappointed if you set up Tailscale as a fallback (I do this personally). [T3 Connect troubleshooting](./t3-connect-troubleshooting.md)
+
+## Will I get banned for using my subscription?
+
+No. We work with all of the labs and T3 Code is within the TOS of Claude Code, Codex, and Google Antigravity. We worked directly with [SpaceXAI](https://x.com/SpaceXSI/status/2070195830192320600) to collaborate on the Grok Build and Cursor integrations. Everything else uses official ACP bindings.
+
+If it works in T3 Code, you can trust it is safe.
+
+## Can I add a bunch of accounts for one provider?
+
+I don't think T3 Code is the right place to manage a pile of accounts. If we add an auto-switcher, we are risking TOS bans for our users.
+
+A separate work account is fine. Setup for two: [Codex](./providers-codex.md#use-multiple-accounts) · [Claude](./providers-claude.md#separate-accounts-or-configurations). For a bigger pool, manage them outside T3 Code with a self-hosted proxy like [CLIProxyAPI](https://github.com/router-for-me/CLIProxyAPI). I walked through how I use 6 Claude subs and 3 Codex subs in [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8PikZ1KhUo), and wrote up the setup in [this guide](https://gist.github.com/t3dotgg/59a521d2ee8d70aaf90e280c175072af). Hand it to your agent and it will walk you through it. Early apologies if it gets you banned 💀 After you set up a hub, T3 Code can show its pooled limits under Usage. [Connect a hub](./usage.md#connect-a-cliproxyapi-hub)
+
+## Can I use an API key or OpenRouter instead of a subscription?
+
+Yes. Add another provider instance in Settings and give it its own keys and endpoint. Claude has a full OpenRouter recipe. Your subscription setup stays untouched. [OpenRouter](./providers-claude.md#openrouter) · [Provider instances](./install.md#providers)
+
+## Does T3 Code support local models?
+
+No. T3 Code is a serious developer tool. Locally runnable models are not capable of meaningful engineering work.
+
+## Does my code go to T3 servers?
+
+No. Your code and prompts go from your machine to your provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.), not to us. With T3 Connect, traffic rides a Cloudflare tunnel (`cloudflared` on your machine). Our relay sets up the link. It does not proxy your HTTP or WebSocket sessions. T3 Code does send basic product usage events (provider, model, token totals, that kind of thing). No prompts, no file contents. That is the same on Tailscale, LAN, or T3 Connect. Set `T3CODE_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false` if you want it off. [Product usage data](./telemetry.md)
+
+## Worktrees are eating my disk. How do I clean them up?
+
+Open **Settings > Storage** and turn on automatic worktree cleanup. You can also run it now from there. Worktrees add up fast. One user cleared 500 GB. [Storage cleanup](./project-settings.md#storage-cleanup)
+
+## Is there voice input?
+
+On iPhone, yes. You need iOS 26 or later. Tap the mic in the composer, talk, check the text, then send. Web, desktop, and Android do not have it yet. [Voice input on iPhone](./composer.md#voice-input-on-iphone)
+
+## Does it work on Windows, Mac, and Linux?
+
+Yes, all three. Desktop app, CLI, the works. One catch: there is no `t3` binary for Intel Macs, so use the desktop app there. Windows folks can also run agents inside WSL. [Install](./install.md)
+
+## Why is my provider not showing up?
+
+Almost always, the CLI is not installed or not on the `PATH` of the machine that runs the server. (Not your phone. The computer.) Log in on that machine first, like `codex login` or `claude auth login`. Still missing? Point **Binary path** at it in provider settings. Version managers love to cause this one.

+# Guest links
+
+A guest link lets a teammate follow one thread in their browser and ask the agent questions, with no
+account. They see your messages and the agent's replies as they stream. Each message they send waits
+until you send or dismiss it.
+
+## Share a thread
+
+Guest links are a beta. Turn on **Settings → Labs → Guest links** for the machine that runs the
+thread. They also need [T3 Connect](./remote-access.md): sign in and link that machine, because the
+link points at its T3 Connect address. The machine must stay online while the guest uses it.
+While the setting is off, every guest link on that machine stops working; links that have not
+expired work again when you turn it back on.
+
+1. Right-click the thread in the sidebar and choose **Share with guest**. It is also in the thread
+   menu and the command palette.
+2. Copy the link and send it to one person. It works in one browser and expires after 24 hours.
+   Opening it again in that browser takes them back to the thread.
+3. When they send a message, it appears at the end of the thread and the sidebar shows **Request**.
+   Choose **Send** to run it as a normal turn, or **Dismiss**. Files they attached show with the
+   message, and **Send** includes them.
+
+Choose **Stop sharing** to end the link at once. Archiving the thread, creating a new link, or
+unlinking the machine from T3 Connect also ends it. You can send or dismiss guest messages from the mobile app.
+
+## What the guest sees
+
+The guest sees the thread's recent history and everything after, in the same timeline you see, as
+it streams: messages and their files, the agent's replies with the images they show from your
+machine, its reasoning, plans, questions, and its work, with command output when they expand a
+command. Their composer shows the thread's model, but they cannot change it. They do not see diffs, and they cannot act on the thread: no forking,
+reverting, opening files on your machine, or answering the agent for you.
+
+Anything the agent read or printed can show, such as a value from a file. Share only threads you
+are comfortable showing.
+
+## Guest attachments
+
+Guests can attach images and other files to a message: use the paperclip, paste, or drop them on
+the message box. A message holds up to 4 files and 10 MB in total. Images must be PNG, JPEG, GIF, or
+WebP. While messages wait for you, their files can total 20 MB; the guest can attach more once you
+send or dismiss some.
+
+Dismissing a message, ending the link, or archiving the thread deletes the files of messages that
+still wait. A sent message keeps its files, like any message in the thread.
+
+The guest's text and files run with the thread's current permission mode once you send them. Check
+them before you choose **Send**, as you would anything pasted from a chat.

+# fx
+
+T3 Code can run [fx](https://fx.sh). fx uses the login on the machine that runs the T3 Code server.
+
+## Set up fx
+
+1. Install fx on that machine:
+
+   ```bash
+   curl -fsSL https://fx.sh/setup.sh | bash
+   ```
+
+2. Run `fx login` in a terminal on that machine.
+3. Open **Settings → Providers**, enable fx, and refresh the provider.
+
+If `fx` is not on the server's `PATH`, set **Binary path** to the executable.
+
+Every fx instance on the same machine shares that machine's fx login. T3 Code does not keep a separate login per instance.
+
+## Models and effort
+
+The model picker lists **Default** first. That option runs the model `fx status` reports on the server's machine. A model set only for one project in fx's settings is not picked up, so choose it from the list instead. If the thread's fx backend does not offer that model, the thread keeps its current one. The other entries come from `fx models`. A custom model you add in the provider settings goes to fx as is, and fx reports an error if its backend does not offer it.
+
+fx also has an **Effort** control. A new thread starts at Medium.
+
+T3 Code does not show fx's backend selector. To use Codex, Grok, or Vercel AI Gateway, run `fx provider` on the environment's machine.
+
+Type `$` in the composer to list the skills fx finds in its skill folders, in the order fx's own skill menu shows them. When two different skills share a name, the menu lists the one fx loads for that name: the first copy in fx's folder order, starting with the workspace. The menu shows one skill per name regardless of case; to run a skill whose name differs only in case, such as `Review` next to `review`, type its exact name.
+
+## Permission modes
+
+fx offers two composer modes.
+
+| Mode           | Behavior                                                                            |
+| -------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Supervised** | fx asks before it changes files or runs commands. Read requests run without asking. |
+| **Auto**       | fx handles routine actions itself. Anything it still asks about reaches you.        |
+
+T3 Code does not offer **Full access** or **Auto-accept edits** for fx. A thread already set to one of those runs in **Supervised**. Changing the permission mode restarts the connection and reloads the same fx session.
+
+On fx versions after [vercel-labs/fx#1189](https://github.com/vercel-labs/fx/pull/1189), fx saves the mode T3 Code sets as its default permission mode. T3 Code sets it each time it opens an fx thread, so fx in the terminal then starts in that thread's mode.
+
+A message steered into a running turn stops that turn, and fx answers the new message in the same session.
+
+## Sub-agents
+
+When fx hands work to a sub-agent, it opens in its own thread under the parent. That thread shows the sub-agent's task and its reply, which fx shortens to a couple of lines. fx doesn't share the sub-agent's individual steps.
+
+fx doesn't pass on a sub-agent's permission requests, so a sub-agent that needs one waits until you press **Stop**. This mostly happens in **Supervised**. In **Auto**, sub-agents can finish routine work by themselves.
+
+## Not supported yet
+
+- Plan mode.
+- **Full access**.
+- **Auto-accept edits**.

+Triage lets your own coding agent investigate a T3 Code problem. The agent
+reads the logs and state of the machine, checks the T3 Code source for that

+before it applies a fix or posts anything.

+
+## Run an eval
+
+1. Run `vp i` at the repo root.
+2. Put the API keys the eval needs in the repo root `.env`. It is gitignored, and the eval scripts load it. Never print or commit a key.
+3. From `evals/`, run `pnpm <eval> --out runs/<name>`. `runs/` is gitignored.
+
+Each eval's README lists its models, flags, and cost. Start with one case and one sample to check the setup.
+
+Evals call paid models, so CI does not run them. CI typechecks this package and runs the graders' unit tests.
+
+## The shape of an eval
+
+Every eval follows the same shape, so a new one is easy to write and an old one is easy to run.
+
+- `evals/<eval>/run.ts` is the entry point. `package.json` has a script with the eval's name.
+- `evals/<eval>/README.md` says what the eval measures, how to run it, how to add a case, and what a run costs.
+- Cases are data, in `cases/` or `cases.ts`. Each case has an `id`, says where it came from (a PR, issue, or thread), and has its checks or rubric.
+- The eval imports the code under test from source. Never copy prompts, tool descriptions, or schemas into an eval. Then the eval always tests the current text.
+- Flags: `--out <dir>` (required), `--model <id>`, and `--baseline <earlier results>` to compare. Add `--case <ids>` when a full run is slow or costly.
+- A run writes results rows to `--out`, plus a summary or review file for a person.
+- When the eval grades itself, `run.test.ts` tests the grader, which is plain logic. It runs in CI. When a person grades, the run hides which output is new.
+
+## Rules for cases
+
+- A case reproduces a real bad experience, or guards a real good one. Name its source.
+- Add the case before the fix. It must fail on the old text and pass on the new text.
+- If you change a case, the changed case must still fail on the text it was written against. Prefer to fix T3 Code over loosening a case.
+- Add controls: cases where the correct action is ordinary work. They catch a fix that overcorrects.
+- Model output varies. Run each case several times. A case fails when half or more of its samples fail. Compare against a baseline on the same model, not against an absolute score.
+- No user data in cases, fixtures, or templates. Use `/home/user` and `acme/app`. Read every captured fixture before you commit it.
+- No unreleased model details in committed files, except model ids in an eval's model table.
+
+## Cost
+
+Run only the cases your change touches until they pass. Then do one full run per model before the PR merges. Each eval's summary records what the run cost.
+
+## Add an eval
+
+1. Copy the shape above from the closest eval.
+2. Add a script to `package.json`, a README, and a row to the table above.
+3. When a second eval needs code that one eval already has (model clients, the shell simulator, sampling, summaries), move that code to `evals/shared/` and use it from both. Do not build shared code before a second eval needs it.

+# MCP tool use
+
+Replays small fake threads on Claude and Codex models and checks how they use T3's MCP tools: delegation, PR linking, previews, scheduling, and more. Each case reproduces a real mistake an agent made in T3 Code.
+
+The model sees what it sees in T3 Code. A trimmed capture of a real harness turn supplies the harness prompt and native tools. T3's instructions, tool descriptions, and schemas come from this checkout. A cheap model plays the shell, so nothing runs on your machine.
+
+## Run
+
+```sh
+cd evals
+pnpm mcp-tool-use --case review-round-uses-thread-send --samples 1 --out runs/check
+pnpm mcp-tool-use --model claude-opus-5-5 --out runs/opus
+```
+
+- `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` in the repo root `.env` pays for Claude models and the Haiku shell simulator.
+- Codex models (`gpt-*` in `MODELS` in `run.ts`) go through a CLIProxyAPI server, set up as the `vibeproxy` model provider in `~/.codex/config.toml`. Keep the proxy under about 12 samples in flight across all runs.
+- Flags: `--case <ids>`, `--cases <file.ndjson>`, `--samples <n>` (default 2, and a 3rd when the first 2 disagree), `--concurrency <n>` (samples in flight, default 8), `--max-steps <n>`, `--effort <level>`, `--dry-run` (prints request bodies, no model calls), and `--context` (prints the size of T3's text and schemas, no key needed).
+- `--baseline <results.jsonl> --stop-on-regression` stops as soon as a case that passed every baseline sample fails. Use it to test one copy change against a baseline run.
+- Cost: a full Sonnet run is about $9, and a full Opus run about $17. Codex models through the proxy cost only the shell simulator.
+
+## Add a case
+
+Cases are JSON lines in `cases/`, one file per area. The case schema in `run.ts` (`McpToolUseCase`) documents every field.
+
+- `kind`: `bad` reproduces a mistake, `guard` protects correct behavior, `control` is ordinary work.
+- `experience`: the real mistake, in a sentence. `source`: where it happened.
+- `setup`: the fake thread, its `world` (repo, branch, files, PRs, pages), `priorTurns`, and `mocks` for tool results.
+- `expect`: the checks, such as `calls`, `callsMustNot`, `maxCalls`, `order`, `textMust`, and `linked`.
+
+Check that the case builds with `--dry-run --case <id>`. Then run it on the text before your fix, where it must fail, and on the text after, where it must pass.
+
+## Where T3's text lives
+
+- `packages/provider-core/src/server/runtimeInstructions.ts`
+- `packages/provider-core/src/server/orchestrationInstructions.ts`
+- `apps/server/src/provider/CodexDeveloperInstructions.ts`
+- `apps/server/src/mcp/toolkits/*/tools.ts` (tool descriptions)
+- `packages/contracts/src/*Mcp.ts` (parameter descriptions and result text)
+
+## Templates
+
+`templates/` holds one trimmed capture per harness. Refresh them when a harness changes its prompt or native tools:
+
+1. Capture one T3 Code turn through CLIProxyAPI, with T3's MCP server connected.
+2. From `evals/`, run `pnpm mcp-tool-use:trim-capture <claude|codex> <capture.json> mcp-tool-use/templates/<claude|codex>.json.gz`. It keeps only what `run.ts` reads, and removes user instructions, the user's own skills and agents, account ids, and home paths.
+3. Read the output for user data before you commit it: `zcat <file> | less`.
+4. Run the full eval on the old and new templates, and compare.

+- Bash: what the command prints in a real terminal (git, gh, ls, cat, grep, package managers). If it fails, start with "Exit code N", then the error. If it prints nothing, reply "(Bash completed with no output)".
+- Read: the file with numbered lines, like \`cat -n\`. Write: "File created successfully at: <path>". Edit: "The file <path> has been updated successfully." Edit may instead supply a Codex apply_patch patch; apply its additions, deletions and hunks. A missing file, or an Edit whose old_string is not in the file: "<tool_use_error>reason</tool_use_error>".
+- WebFetch: the page's text.
+
+Stay consistent with the machine and with earlier outputs: edits, commits, pushes, and new PRs show in later output. Where the description is silent, invent plausible small details that fit it (file contents, SHAs, test names) rather than printing nothing.

+# Test signal
+
+Runs the Macroscope `test-signal` check ([`.macroscope/check-run-agents/test-signal.md`](../../.macroscope/check-run-agents/test-signal.md)) on real and synthetic test diffs, and checks that a cheap model flags low-signal tests and leaves good ones alone. Use it to cut the check to the fewest words that still work.
+
+The model gets the check body, the PR's test diff, `read_file` and `grep` at the PR head, and `post_comment`. The wrapper prompt around the body is a stand-in for Macroscope's, which is not public.
+
+## Run
+
+```sh
+cd evals
+pnpm test-signal --out runs/baseline
+pnpm test-signal --out runs/cut --prompt /path/to/variant.md --case new-table-row
+```
+
+- Models go through the `vibeproxy` CLIProxyAPI provider in `~/.codex/config.toml`. Default models: `gpt-6.1-terra` and `gpt-6-luna`. Pass `--model` once per model to change them.
+- Flags: `--prompt <file>` (a variant of the check, default the real one), `--case <id>` (repeatable), `--samples <n>` (default 2, and a 3rd when the first 2 disagree), `--concurrency <n>` (default 6), `--reasoning <level>` (default `low`, as the check runs).
+- A bad case passes when a comment lands inside a target test. A guard case passes when the check posts nothing and replies exactly `All clear`.
+- `summary.md` gives the prompt hash and word count, then per model: bad cases caught, guards clean, errors, and tokens.
+- Cost: proxy quota only, about 0.5M tokens for a full run on both models.
+
+## Add a case
+
+Add an entry to `cases.ts`. A `real` case names a merged commit and its test paths. A `synthetic` case inserts one test after an anchor string in a real file. Bad cases list the titles of the tests to flag.

+# Thread titles
+
+Generates thread titles for real thread shapes with the server's Codex title generator, then sets each new title against the old one for a blind review.
+
+## Run
+
+```sh
+cd evals
+pnpm thread-titles --model <codex model> --out runs/titles
+pnpm thread-titles --model <codex model> --out runs/titles-new --baseline runs/titles/results.json
+```
+
+- It uses your local Codex login, like the server does.
+- `--initial` titles from the first message only, as a new thread does.
+- A run writes `results.json` (titles and latency), `review.json` (titles A and B in random order, with a rubric), and `answer-key.json`. Score `review.json` before you open `answer-key.json`.
+
+## Add a case
+
+Add an entry to `cases.ts` with an `id`, a `source`, the thread `messages`, the `previousTitle`, and a `rubric` that says what a good title names.

+# Shared Vite Task cache
+
+[Alchemy](https://alchemy.run) manages the `T3TaskCache` stack: the `t3-task-cache` Worker, its D1 index, private R2 bucket, rate limits, and cleanup schedule. The production stack adopts the existing resources and preserves their data and repository authorization policy. D1 and R2 have a retain removal policy.
+
+The Worker uses Effect services for request handling, developer authentication, bounded concurrency, deadlines, and cleanup. The pinned [upstream protocol package](https://github.com/voidzero-dev/vite-plus-remote-cache-cloudflare/tree/5b06c2c10d84ea441735ba07c46f6d1b7cb2ff3b) supplies the experimental wire format, streaming upload, GitHub OIDC validation, and atomic D1 publication. Keeping that adapter preserves compatibility with existing cache entries.
+
+Vite+ 1.3 includes an experimental remote client even though its TypeScript configuration and CLI help omit it. The native client reads `run.cache.remote.url`, `VP_REMOTE_CACHE_URL`, and `VP_REMOTE_CACHE`. An opt-in Node preload patches the Vite+ JavaScript entrypoint in memory and invokes an optional repository hook before and after the native task runner. The global executable and PATH are unchanged. Vite config loads saved credentials into its in-memory remote URL, and the hook selects the native cache mode and exports task summaries. Saved credentials are never exported into task environments. Normal dependency installs do not patch Vite+. The hook is installed only by explicit maintainer setup or our own CI; without credentials it does not collect or queue telemetry.
+
+## Deploy
+
+Install dependencies with `vp install`, then authenticate with Alchemy's Cloudflare profile. Alternatively, provide `CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID` and `CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN` through your environment. Alchemy stores deployment state remotely with `Cloudflare.state()`.
+
+```sh
+cd infra/task-cache
+alchemy deploy --stage prod
+```
+
+The stack reads read-only credential digests from `~/.config/t3-task-cache/readers.json` (or `READER_KEYS`) and writer digests from `~/.config/t3-task-cache/writers.json` and supplies them as a redacted Worker secret. Preserve that file to administer existing writers. Deployment uses the `prod` stage and the existing endpoint in `.task-cache.json`. The upstream protocol is loaded only inside the Worker runtime and bundled by Alchemy, so deployment runs on Node without an extra TypeScript loader. An explicit `DEVELOPER_KEYS` environment variable overrides the local registry, including on deployment hosts without that file. Deployment fails when neither source exists, so a missing local file cannot silently revoke existing writers.
+
+The production database’s `scopes` and `deployment` records control repository identity, push branch, quotas, and retention. `pull_requests` explicitly enables same-repository PR uploads targeting the configured `branch`; `writes_enabled` disables all artifact uploads, including those from maintainers. Telemetry accepts reports from other PR bases without granting artifact writes. Provisioning a separate cache requires its own repository policy; a new empty database does not grant uploads.
+
+The CI read identity is named `ci-reader`. Its raw token belongs in the GitHub repository secret `T3_TASK_CACHE_READ_TOKEN`; `readers.json` maps that name to the token’s SHA-256 hex digest. To rotate it, replace that digest, deploy, then replace the GitHub secret. Keep the optional private `ci-reader.json` file as `{ "name": "ci-reader", "token": "…" }` for the smoke test to verify read-only restoration; without it, smoke uses the operator’s saved credential. Never commit these files. The read credential cannot upload artifacts or telemetry. Release jobs lack OIDC and their telemetry is not recorded.
+
+## Add a contributor or machine
+
+```sh
+node infra/task-cache/scripts/manage.ts add-writer maria
+```
+
+This updates the local writer registry and writes `~/.config/t3-task-cache/maria.json`. Run `alchemy deploy --stage prod` from `infra/task-cache` to apply the registry, then transfer that file through a private channel. The recipient runs:
+
+```sh
+bash infra/task-cache/install.sh
+```
+
+The installer prompts for the endpoint, developer name, and token (hidden), verifies authentication with an empty telemetry report, and saves credentials with mode `0600`. It installs the hook and credentials once in the home directory and enables the preload through `NODE_OPTIONS` in shell startup files. Open a fresh shell after setup. New worktrees and dependency reinstalls automatically use the same hook; no checkout or executable is modified. Existing long-running agents need to restart or inherit the updated environment. Rerunning setup updates the shared hook and restores matching backups from the old on-disk patch.
+
+Uninstall with `bash infra/task-cache/install.sh --uninstall`, then restart existing shells and agents. This removes shell integration, saved client credentials, and queued telemetry. A no-op preload remains for already-running shells that still inherit its path; no cache code runs through it. Administrative writer digests and issued credential files are preserved.
+
+Explicit environment settings take precedence: `VP_REMOTE_CACHE_URL` may contain the URL-encoded developer name and token as HTTP Basic credentials, and `VP_REMOTE_CACHE=read-write` enables uploads. These can be supplied by a secret manager instead of saved credentials. Do not put credentials in shell command history or commit them. Use separate writer names for separate people. Repeating `add-writer` rotates the token; `revoke-writer <name>` removes it. Deploy again to apply either change.
+
+Our repository’s CI explicitly installs the Vite+ hook. Same-repository PRs targeting `main` and default-branch push jobs read and write. PRs targeting other branches read only; fork PRs receive no cache credentials and run normally without remote caching. All artifact reads require authentication, including downloads by blob ID. Trusted maintainers automatically upload artifacts that other authenticated maintainers and CI consume. Deployment credentials are never needed on contributor machines or CI runners.
+
+## Verify
+
+```sh
+node infra/task-cache/scripts/smoke.ts
+vp run --filter @t3tools/task-cache test
+vp run --filter @t3tools/task-cache typecheck
+```
+
+The smoke check uploads a unique fixture, restores its output into a cold second directory, changes its input, and confirms recomputation. It also checks that anonymous reads and uploads are rejected. Cacheable commands must run through `vp run`; direct `vp test` or `vp check` invocations do not use this cache.
+
+## Native clients
+
+`/projects/t3code/native-clients/<platform>/<variant>/<expo-fingerprint>` stores simulator and emulator development clients for `scripts/mobile-native-client.ts` in a separate `-native-clients` R2 bucket with 30-day retention. Unlike Vite Task entries, the Expo fingerprint is portable, so a client built on any Mac or Linux machine serves every other one. Readers download; writers upload through R2 multipart in 64 MB parts, because Workers cap request bodies. The uploader's bundle digest is stored as object metadata and checked by the client before it installs anything.
+
+## Current limits
+
+- Vite Task separates operating systems and CPU architectures. macOS results do not satisfy Linux CI; Linux developer machines can populate compatible CI results.
+- The current protocol retains one result for each execution key. Competing source versions can overwrite each other's entry. Inputs are validated before reuse, so this causes misses rather than stale hits. Merging to main does not promote or reset the cache.
+- A local hit makes no remote request and is not uploaded retroactively. Clear only an isolated worktree's task cache when testing uploads of an already-cached task.
+- Production retains results for seven days within a 64 GB budget. Remote errors fall back to execution. `VP_REMOTE_CACHE=off vp run ...` disables the remote tier for one invocation.
+
+## Savings and tracing
+
+Alchemy also owns the `t3-task-cache-traces` Axiom dataset, its ingest-only Worker token, a savings dashboard, and a separate retained D1 database for lifetime counters. Deployment needs an Axiom Alchemy profile or `AXIOM_TOKEN`/`AXIOM_ORG_ID` as well as Cloudflare credentials. Contributor machines never receive the Axiom token.
+
+Both `vp run` and its `vpr` shortcut invoke the hook. The hook observes Vite+'s atomic `last-summary.json` files, including nested runs. It reports package/task names, confirmed local and remote hits, avoided task runtime, developer identity, host, OS/architecture, and CI run ID. It does not send commands, arguments, source paths, environment variables, or task output. Developer identity comes from the authenticated cache writer; CI uses GitHub's verified OIDC actor. Same-repository PRs may upload artifacts as well as telemetry. Fork jobs do not install the hook or report telemetry.
+
+Reports spool locally and retry on subsequent commands. The completion hook queues the final summary, including failed runs. Local runs start a detached, short-lived Node process; CI awaits its bounded flush before the runner can terminate it. Collection or export failures never change the task exit status. No background service is installed. Queues retain at most 2,000 reports, each sent with a three-second timeout and a 15-second budget per flush. Stable report IDs and transactional D1 receipts prevent duplicate lifetime increments. Receipts expire after 31 days; accepted reports must be less than 30 days old. Lifetime totals survive raw trace expiration and are re-exported hourly, including inactive developers and hosts. Collection starts when the hook is installed; existing cache history is not backfilled.
+
+**Saved time means historical task execution time avoided.** It is useful as a compute proxy, but it is not measured CPU time, money saved, or elapsed developer waiting time. Parallel tasks can overlap, and cache lookup/restore overhead is not subtracted. Failed restores contribute no savings. Older Vite+ versions omit the hit source; their confirmed savings are counted under an explicit unspecified tier. Native summary collection is best-effort: interrupted runs or summaries overwritten before observation can be missing. The experimental Vite+ summary schema is tested here and must be checked when upgrading Vite+.
+
+Host labels use `~/.agents/MACHINE` when present, otherwise the hostname. GitHub-hosted runners use their runner OS/architecture class to avoid a new lifetime series for every ephemeral VM. Set `T3_TASK_CACHE_HOST` to override the label, or `T3_TASK_CACHE_TELEMETRY=off` to opt out while retaining remote caching. Re-run the installer to update an existing machine's hook.
+
+Writer administration requires the complete private registry on the administering machine. Copy that registry securely from its administrator before adding a writer on another machine. `add-writer --new-registry` explicitly initializes a new cache; never use it to recover an existing registry.
+
+Node processes running with filesystem permissions must allow the installed preload and hook directory. Remove the task-cache import from `NODE_OPTIONS` for a restricted process that cannot allow those files.
+
+Local telemetry is queued to disk before command exit and uploaded by a short-lived detached Node process. Slow or offline endpoints do not delay `vp run`; unsent reports retry on a later run.

+Ordinary coding tasks need no T3 tools.
 
 - Agents come first. The user's T3 Agents (\`agents\` in \`orchestrator_capabilities\`, or \`t3_list_agents\`) are named specialists with their own instructions, skills, model, and modes. When work matches an agent, or the user names one, run it as that agent: pass its \`profileId\` to \`delegate_task\`, \`t3_thread_launch\`, or \`create_threads\`, and omit \`target\`/\`modelSelection\` and modes so the agent's own settings apply. Set them only to deliberately override the agent. Use a bare provider/model target or a plain thread only when no agent fits. Native subagents cannot run as a T3 agent. An agent whose modes are broader than this thread's runs at this thread's modes. If a call with \`profileId\` fails, do not retry without it or fall back to a bare model: report the returned error to the user and let them decide.
 - Children and subagents are different. A child is a full agent chat with its own context that you launch to do a separate part of a larger task; it shows inside your card on the Agents board, keeps its own status, and settles on its own. A subagent is a helper inside your own run that saves your context; it shows only in your thread's Lineage panel. Leading other agents does not make your children subagents.

 const PULL_REQUEST_LINKING_INSTRUCTIONS = `<pull_request_linking>
-When the t3-code MCP server exposes link_pull_request, you must use it to register every pull request you create or work on for this thread. Call link_pull_request with the full PR URL immediately after creating a PR or starting work on an existing PR. For a stack, call it for every layer, not just the current branch or the top PR. This applies when creating or updating PRs through your host's CLI (including its stack commands) or its API: those operations do not register the PRs with this thread. Linking an already-linked PR is safe. Before finishing PR work, call list_thread_pull_requests and link any PR from your work that is missing. Do not link unrelated PRs mentioned only as background. If a linking call fails, report that failure instead of claiming the PR is linked. As a delegated child task, do not watch or poll PRs; return PR URLs, head SHA, and pending review/check state to your parent. Otherwise, when asked to monitor, watch, or babysit a PR and watch_pull_request is available, call it and end your turn: T3 Code wakes you when checks finish, someone else comments, or the branch conflicts, so do not poll or run your own watcher. When monitoring is done and you hand the work back to the user, call unwatch_pull_request first so the thread returns to their inbox.
+Link each PR you create, take over, or push to: one link_pull_request per PR, full URL, every stack layer, as your next call. Host tools do not link for you. If linking fails, say so. Skip PRs you only read or review, and PRs named only as background. Call watch_pull_request when asked to monitor or babysit, or when work you were asked to do, such as a merge, still waits on checks or reviews, even after an earlier unwatch. Finish any needed branch update and push first, then watch and end your turn. Otherwise act now or hand back. Delegated children never watch, even if the brief says babysit. After PR work, a child's last line is: PR <full URL>, head <SHA>, checks and reviews <state>. Links and watches persist across pushes. Never wait with sleep, loops, gh --watch, Monitor, or ScheduleWakeup. Before handback, call unwatch_pull_request on any PR you watch.

- * - Cursor moves, line and screen erases, and save/restore are applied. Other

+# Mobile behavior
+
+`vp run mobile:behavior` checks what the iOS app does, from its own state rather than pixels: scroll position, dropped frames, composer drafts and focus, status labels, and which thread opens. It leases an iPhone 18 Pro and an iPad Pro 13 from the Simlock pool and runs the cases on both in parallel. It is the companion to `vp run mobile:e2e`, which checks layout.
+
+No model runs. Each device gets its own server whose only provider, `evalbot`, is an Fx instance backed by [`fake-fx.ts`](fake-fx.ts). A `[[eval:…]]` marker in a message picks its scripted reply: a paced stream, a held turn, a question, two subagents, or a failure. Each device also gets its own Metro with the dev-only probe ([`behavior-probe.ts`](../../apps/mobile/src/features/development/behavior-probe.ts)) compiled in. The probe reads app state through Metro's Hermes inspector, and agent-device drives the touches.
+
+## Run
+
+Needs `SIMLOCK_AGENT_DEVICE_URL` and `AGENT_DEVICE_DAEMON_AUTH_TOKEN`, like `mobile:e2e`.
+
+```sh
+vp run mobile:behavior                                    # both devices, 3 samples per case
+vp run mobile:behavior --device iphone-18-pro --samples 1 --case scroll-up-never-teleports
+vp run mobile:behavior --list                             # devices and cases
+```
+
+Output lands in `artifacts/mobile-behavior/<run>/`: `summary.md` is the scoreboard. Each device's folder holds `results.jsonl` (one row per case sample), `run.log`, `metro.log`, and the server under `env/`. A full run takes about 15 minutes.
+
+A case fails when half or more of its graded samples fail, and is `incomplete` when errors outnumber graded samples. The run fails on a `guard` or `control` case that fails or is incomplete. `bad` cases reproduce known bugs and fail until those are fixed.
+
+## Metrics
+
+- **Scroll.** The probe reads the thread list's state on every JS frame and records each visible row's y on screen. `backwardPx` is the largest move against the drag. `teleports` counts one-frame moves over 400 pt, faster than a real fling. `maxFromEndPx` is the distance from the latest message.
+- **Jank.** JS-thread frames from `requestAnimationFrame` in the probe, UI-thread frames from a worklet loop. Simulators render at 60 Hz, and injected swipes load the simulator's UI thread, so swipe cases grade JS frames only.
+- **Composer.** The draft store, the editor's text from the accessibility tree, whether it expanded, and whether the keyboard is up.
+- **Status.** Each Home row's status from the app's own `resolveThreadListV2Status`, and the Working shelf count, against server state.
+
+## Add a case
+
+Cases are data in [`cases.ts`](cases.ts): an `id`, a `kind` (`bad` fails on `main` today, `guard` must keep passing, `control` is ordinary use), its `source` issue, the `scenario` that produces its metrics, a `key` metric, and `checks`. A new flow goes in [`scenarios.ts`](scenarios.ts). Add a case before its fix, so it fails on `main` while the bug exists; flip it from `bad` to `guard` when the fix lands.
+
+Not covered: Live Activities and notification taps (they need a T3 Connect relay and delivered pushes), native editor scroll, the background-work pill and async questions (Fx has no background tasks), and 120 Hz pacing.

Copyright and Related Rights. A Work made available under CC0 may be\nprotected by copyright and related or neighboring rights (\"Copyright and\nRelated Rights\"). Copyright and Related Rights include, but are not\nlimited to, the following:\n\n  i. the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, display,\n     communicate, and translate a Work;\n ii. moral rights retained by the original author(s) and/or performer(s);\niii. publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's image or\n     likeness depicted in a Work;\n iv. rights protecting against unfair competition in regards to a Work,\n     subject to the limitations in paragraph 4(a), below;\n  v. rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and reuse of data\n     in a Work;\n vi. database rights (such as those arising under Directive 96/9/EC of the\n     European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal\n     protection of databases, and under any national implementation\n     thereof, including any amended or successor version of such\n     directive); and\nvii. other similar, equivalent or corresponding rights throughout the\n     world based on applicable law or treaty, and any national\n     implementations thereof.\n\n2. Waiver. To the greatest extent permitted by, but not in contravention\nof, applicable law, Affirmer hereby overtly, fully, permanently,\nirrevocably and unconditionally waives, abandons, and surrenders all of\nAffirmer's Copyright and Related Rights and associated claims and causes\nof action, whether now known or unknown (including existing as well as\nfuture claims and causes of action), in the Work (i) in all territories\nworldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration provided by applicable law or\ntreaty (including future time extensions), (iii) in any current or future\nmedium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever,\nincluding without limitation commercial, advertising or promotional\npurposes (the \"Waiver\").

Public License Fallback. Should any part of the Waiver for any reason\nbe judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, then the\nWaiver shall be preserved to the maximum extent permitted taking into\naccount Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose.

The fonts, including any derivative works, can be bundled, embedded, redistributed and/or sold with any software provided that any reserved names are not used by derivative works.
