Why: Spacing-only refinements still looked like the original flat gray workspace and did not satisfy the approved visual redesign.
Evidence: 272 unit tests, 16 browser scenarios across 320-1920px, and the production build pass locally.
Impact: Gives navigation, authored messages, assistant results, and work details clearly different visual surfaces while preserving behavior.
Refs: Agent-System-Dev feature/workbench-visual-redesign
Why: The three-column workspace read as flat and visually scattered, making conversation, current work, and navigation difficult to distinguish.
Evidence: 272 unit tests, 16 focused browser scenarios across 320-1920px, and the production build pass locally.
Impact: Refines the existing workbench presentation without changing its data flow or fast/slow task behavior.
Refs: Agent-System-Dev feature/workbench-visual-redesign
Why: Status words shared with a final reply could suppress a child completion record.
Evidence: 272 frontend unit tests, build, and 15 isolated browser scenarios.
Impact: Tag client-side collaboration replay so partial-delta deduplication preserves agent notes.
Refs: Agent-System-Dev feature/work-companion-visibility UI1
Why: A dropped delta batch can leave a short event prefix next to the complete saved message.
Evidence: 271 frontend unit tests, build, and 14 isolated browser scenarios.
Impact: Suppress overlapping partial replay text and thinking while retaining saved content.
Refs: Agent-System-Dev feature/work-companion-visibility UI1
Why: Event replay could hide saved retry notes and leave completed cards outside the active work filter.
Evidence: 270 frontend unit tests, build, and 14 isolated browser scenarios.
Impact: Merge replay into saved history, retain child progress, and locate cards under the right scope.
Refs: Agent-System-Dev feature/work-companion-visibility UI1 UI2
Why: Fast and slow channel cards duplicate across panes and completed replies hide process output.
Evidence: npm test; npm run build; 12 isolated Playwright scenarios with reload and responsive widths.
Impact: Preserve ordered folded process history, load durable run events, and give work cards one detailed pane.
Refs: Agent-System-Dev feature/work-companion-visibility UI1 UI2 UI3
Why: Complete the authorized export entry while preserving current main project and session behavior.
Evidence: SELF full frontend tests and build, 263 unit tests; deferred browser races reproduced then all 6 passed. Raw records stay outside source until Dev task closure.
Impact: Export callbacks are invalidated on project, identity and unmount changes. Command readiness and current main security paths remain intact.
Refs: Dev PR #488; Frontend PR #73; user takeover authorization on 2026-10-14
Why:
Fresh documents had no first-submit action, reading active duties opened
confirmation dialogs, and delayed detail or status queries could overwrite
another selection and send its document ID with the wrong duty draft.
Evidence:
SELF real-browser regressions observed the missing action, render-time
dialogs, detail/status races, and a follow-up query after panel unmount.
Five focused Playwright scenarios passed after the fix, together with the
full npm test, npm run build, and git diff --check commands. Receipts:
/tmp/project-member-duties-browser-green-20261013.json and
/tmp/project-member-duties-full-build-green-20261013.json.
Impact:
Offer first submission independently of an existing review round. Ask for
invalidation only on a dirty save click. Guard queries and continuations
with project lifetime, selection, and request sequences; keep the existing
Picker, canonical project routing, controls, and UI tokens.

Dev project-member-access Task 4; independent synchronized Frontend P2 review
Why: The login recovery contract requires a real-browser acceptance
spec covering admin issue -> key-only redeem -> forced set-password ->
relogin, and the changepw spec needed the same deterministic gate
synchronization.
Evidence: Both specs pass against an isolated auth-on instance
(serve --auth on, binary backend=467718a+frontend=9fc7da2); receipts
be7ae9a2/b3a9e691 bound to Dev HEAD 268ef29 (SELF). changepw-form also
passes (5.9s) alongside login-key (12.2s) on a reused instance,
proving idempotency.
Impact: New e2e/login-key.playwright.ts (skip-guarded like existing
suites); changepw login() waits for the gate heading and success page
before returning to login, fixing a stale-fill race that submitted
empty gate fields.
Refs: Dev docs/svc-deploy/2026-10-13-login-recovery-contract.md; Dev PR #504.
Why: The 2026-10-13 login contract makes username/password the default
login, replaces the browser ask_ tab with a one-time recovery key
entry, requires the forced set-password gate to drop the current
password field, and routes admin password recovery through admin-issued
login keys instead of direct password resets.
Evidence: vitest 218 passed, npm run build OK, check-knip 43<=43,
design-guard green (SELF, local run in task worktree).
Impact: LoginPage gains a redeem-only key tab (no key persistence);
ChangePasswordGate shows server-confirmed owner plus new/confirm only
and returns to the login page after success (reloginRequired); App
gates on sessionScope=set_password_only; UsersPanel replaces reset
password with issue/revoke login key UI showing plaintext once.
Refs: Dev task feature/svc-login-recovery-flow; backend companion
commit 467718a.
Why: Upload inventory alone did not prove that the attachment-only user message included and persisted all three materials.
Evidence: Real upload IDs match the empty-text POST and the same user artifact_ref parts before and after reload; both live cases pass.
Impact: Stronger acceptance evidence only; retain mock-runner model-quality limits.
Refs: ce-code-review 20261012-165912-cb241b46 #4, UI01/UI04/U5
Why: Background frames blocked terminal reconciliation, stale failures left confirmations busy, and delayed page hydration changed mobile navigation.
Evidence: Review findings #1/#2/#3 have recorded red-to-green checks; all 210 Frontend tests, tsc and knip pass, plus six real navigation browser checks.
Impact: Keep sequence high-water and operation ownership, merge observations by object, and use an explicit preview-opening intent.
Refs: ce-code-review 20261012-165912-cb241b46 #1/#2/#3, UI04/UI09/UI10/UI11
Why: Retained React nodes alone did not prove actual browser scrolling was preserved.
Evidence: The settled Chromium case failed on the previous bundle, then all 11 browser cases passed with exact material, scroll and focus assertions.
Impact: Browser regression coverage only; fixture transport stays outside the production bundle.
Refs: UI10, ce-code-review UI finding #3, work-companion-ui
Why: Opening the auxiliary work pane should keep the conversation compact.
Evidence: Existing Playwright browser suite passed all 10 cases, including finished Collapsible transition.
Impact: Test and screenshot timing only; product behavior is unchanged.
Refs: Dev feature/work-companion-ui, UI03
Why: make material, background work, confirmations and files accessible to nontechnical users across desktop and mobile.
Evidence: Dev SELF receipts for Frontend tsc, 190 tests, knip baseline, build, nine fixture browser cases and two real HTTP/browser smoke cases using MockRunner.
Impact: existing API and permissions remain authoritative; stale events/queries and duplicate effects are guarded, while one file preview and reading state are preserved.
Refs: work-companion-ui design r0.2 and plan r1 U2-U5; UI01-UI13.
Why: auditors need to generate and download a watermarked report from the overview, and that must not appear when the export commands are off or change whether the workspace itself opens.
Evidence: SELF npm test, 138 passed. Playwright download case is in e2e/rdm-audit.playwright.ts and runs under scripts/e2e.sh.
Impact: the overview shows type, generate, draft confirmation, watermark, sha256, expiry, and download only when the three export commands are enabled.
Refs: RDM pull request 301

Why: Existing event and helper tests missed the SurfaceMeta to snapshot
reload path that blanked the app after the integration pointer regressed.
Evidence: New restore regressions fail on 1edd872 and pass on compatible
main; independent reviewer replays and real browser contract replay are
recorded in the Dev surface-black-screen-recovery task card.
Impact: Tests only; protects reload, partial failure, newer live revisions,
conversation switching, and two-page browser preview.
Refs: Frontend #68; Dev #454 and #452; Dev surface-black-screen-recovery
Why: the repo's @playwright/test version has no toBeReadOnly matcher.
Evidence: failing run shows TypeError at the matcher; the attribute
assertion works across versions.
Impact: none beyond the spec assertion.
Refs: 2026-10-12 diagnostic report, increment 3.
Why: the change-password modal rendered loose password inputs outside any
<form> with no autocomplete or username association (browser password-form
warnings; Enter did not submit), and its 401 handling collapsed every
cause into "wrong current password". SettingInput masked ALL free-text
config values as password fields.
Evidence: vitest 24 files / 116 tests incl. new settingInputAttrs matrix;
knip and tsc -b && vite build pass; e2e changepw-form spec (driven by the
dev-repo e2e.sh plain phase) covers form submit via Enter, autocomplete
trio, readonly username and the classified error copy.
Impact: ChangePasswordModal uses form onSubmit, htmlFor/id association,
username/current-password/new-password autocomplete and reuses
humanChangePasswordError; SettingInput renders text inputs unless the
field is secret.
Refs: 2026-10-12 diagnostic report, increment 3.
Why: phase 4 runs after the RDM phase already forced the password change,
so the initial-password attempt 401s and the sidebar never renders.
Evidence: phase-4 failure log shows the login form still up at the
15s .tsb-tool timeout; rdm-audit spec already carries this branch.
Impact: plain-base login helper mirrors rdm-audit's gate-aware login.
Refs: 2026-10-12 diagnostic report, increment 2.
Why: the phase-3 playwright run scans the whole e2e/ directory, so the
plain-base assertions ran against the RDM combo where the audit entry is
legitimately visible and failed.
Evidence: phase-3 rerun shows 4 rdm-audit tests passing with plain-base
failing out of place; the spec now skips unless E2E_PLAIN_BASE=1, which
scripts/e2e.sh phase 4 injects.
Impact: plain-base scenario only executes against the plain base serve.
Refs: 2026-10-12 diagnostic report, increment 2.
Why: the rdm-audit entry was an unconditional builtin, so on a plain base
without any rdm.inspect.* commands the workspace opened straight into a
rejected receipt (400) - diagnosed 2026-10-12. The page also rendered raw
receipt JSON instead of a readable error.
Evidence: vitest 23 files / 112 tests pass incl. the new contract matrix
(workspaces.test.ts, rdm-errors.test.ts) and design-guard; tsc -b &&
vite build pass; e2e plain-base scenario added (driven by dev-repo
scripts/e2e.sh phase 4).
Impact: audit entry shows only when GET /api/commands lists all seven
rdm.inspect.* commands enabled (store.rdmAuditAvailable, refreshed with
the workspace list); audit errors classify into capability-missing /
auth-expired / query-failed with the raw receipt kept in a Collapsible.
Refs: 2026-10-12 diagnostic report, increment 2.
Why: seeded sections carry no confirmed trace edges yet, so the no-relations empty state is the correct U4 presentation.
Evidence: scripts/e2e.sh rerun in this task.
Impact: test-only.
Why: rdm.inspect.tree docs is two-level (parent=<docId> returns sections), but the U4 workspace only fetched level one - the tree showed bare documents, clicking a doc hit unsupported inspect.object kind, and the trace tab always showed no sections.
Evidence: tsc + design-guard green; scripts/e2e.sh full run in this task.
Impact: tree browsing expands documents into sections; trace entry lists sections aggregated per document.
Refs: U4/U3 read-service contract; task feature/rdm-e2e-acceptance.
Why: the first docs-tree node is document-level and carries no event history; U4 evidence-finding targets sections.
Evidence: scripts/e2e.sh rerun in this task.
Impact: test-only.
Why: buildWorkspaceEntries pushed only BUILTINS[0] (agents); the U4
rdm-audit workspace was declared but never ranked, so no user could
open the trace/audit workspace from the sidebar.
Evidence: vitest workspaces.test.ts 4/4 (updated expectations plus a
new overflow-truncation case); full browser run in scripts/e2e.sh.
Impact: sidebar gains the second builtin tool; server-declared
workspaces keep their shortcut precedence.
Refs: U4 (Dev #368) regression; task feature/rdm-e2e-acceptance.
Why: U4 acceptance requires real-browser runs of the trace/audit
workspace; the repo had only a manual .playwright.ts stub gated on
PLAYWRIGHT_BASE_URL with no config, deps, or service wiring.
Evidence: config/deps/spec staged; full run driven by Dev-side
scripts/e2e.sh (seed-only smoke in progress in this task branch).
Impact: dev-only additions (@playwright/test devDep, preview proxy
segment, e2e/rdm-audit.playwright.ts); no production bundle changes.
Refs: Dev task feature/rdm-e2e-acceptance; U4 in
modules/documents/docs/proposals/2026-10-11-rdm-two-trees-trace-audit-integration.md
Why: Plugin pages must mount through a host bridge, and button versus chat command parity needs a check that vitest does not execute as a unit test.
Evidence: npx vitest run passed. The Playwright file lives under e2e and is outside the tsconfig include.
Impact: loadPluginPage expects mount/unmount. @playwright/test is not a required dependency yet.
