pj 9a920444b3 test(chrome): compare the secure fact across both producers
it is the fourth fact the dump and the web runtime derive independently,
and the one that decides whether a typed value is written into the
shared record. three-valued, so the fixture guard requires all three
states rather than both polarities.

pj 04327e63b6 test(chrome): the handle and the enumeration agree on editable too
The helper compared clickable alone, so the inherited-contenteditable bug
was caught by unit test only and never in a real browser.

pj 9b9c7cf6e2 fix(chrome): name a web field by its hint, not its CSS class
visibleLabel reads hintText first for an editable element. The dump never
emitted it, so an empty web input fell through text, description and
descendant text to its class name, and the model was shown an identifier no
user can read on exactly the fields a labelling experiment varies.

Same ladder as fieldHint in web-runtime.ts, so one field is named one way on
both hosts.

* feat(cli): add --exit-on-violation and exit 2 when it fires

* docs(cli): document --exit-on-violation, --max-steps, and exit codes

* fix(web): enumerate and query across shadow roots in both producers

* test(chrome): compare both producers on a shadow-dom parity page

* test(browser): drive a canvas-under-shadow-root fixture end to end

* fix(web): select the focused field inside a shadow root before typing

* fix(web): report the pathname as the screen when there is no hash route

* fix(web): settle on dom quiescence instead of returning at body ready

* feat(replay-ui): add data-testid hooks the dogfood spec drives

* feat(replay-ui): add the dogfood spec sanderling runs against the replay ui

* fix(replay-ui): scope the screenshot property to the named state panel

* chore(make): add per-platform sanderling build targets

* ci: add dispatch workflows for folio and the replay ui

* docs: describe the dispatch workflows and how to read a failure

* ci(folio): give the ios leg its jdk, android sdk, just, and a clean app start

* refactor(web): use max for the settle budget

* ci: pin calibrated seeds, skip the flaky ios reinstall, bound every job

* ci: authenticate and pin the buf setup step

the anonymous release download hit the shared runner ip rate limit and
failed the job with 'socket hang up' after three retries.

* docs: record that canvas apps need a dom proxy to be text-fuzzable

* fix(ios): bound lifecycle rpcs and claim the target device

a launch the simulator rejects sent the xctest session into a recovery
chain that answered minutes late or never, and the rpc had no deadline,
so the run hung with no trace and no error. also take a per-udid flock:
a second run's reinstall lands under the first's live automation session
and wedges it.

* docs(ci): correct the ios hang wording and note the device lock

* refactor(verifier): derive the lastAction shape from one field list

both hosts must show a spec the same lastAction. one ordered list now
feeds the goja object and the json the web host installs, so they
cannot drift.

* fix(web): install lastAction in the page before extractors read it

state.lastAction was hardcoded null on web, so every property reading it
was silently vacuous: a correct property passed without ever firing.

* fix(web): carry element identity on actions and fix findAll on paths

an action's target was coordinates only, so a property matching on which
element was acted upon could never fire. ax.findAll([a,b]) also returned
nothing on web.

* fix(chrome): wait out a route transition before sampling facts

the tree stays byte-identical and quiet across a cross-fade, so both the
quiet timer and the unchanged-tree escape called it settled mid-flight
and extractors read two screens at once.

* fix: bound the pre-run app launch

launch happens before the runner starts, so --duration never covered it
and a wedged driver hung with no trace and no error.

* fix(folio): read balances from merged cards and treat unreadable as unknown

compose for web merges the whole accountcard subtree, so the balance
child never exists there and every card parsed as 0. the property then
compared 0 to 0 and fired on any submit, which is a false positive
generator. unknown is now null and null is vacuously true.

* test(folio): cover merged-card parsing and unknown balances

* ci(folio): make web an expect-the-bug leg

the web runtime can observe the double submit now, so the health gate
understates it. seed 1 finds it at step 109, 3 runs out of 3.

* docs(ci): explain why a submit tap landing on home is the bug

* fix(ios): read a StaticText's label as its text

AXValue was the only source for text, but a StaticText carries its
string in AXLabel, so nothing on screen had .text on ios: a spec reading
it saw everything on android and nothing here.

* docs(ci): correct the calibrated step ranges

* fix(folio): stop convicting on arithmetic float64 cannot hold

past 2^53 cents the gap between representable values is 128, so a real
1600-cent move reads back as something else and the equality is false
for a healthy submit as readily as a double one. also match parseCents:
a sign or an oversized amount is rejected, not read as an amount.

* test(folio): pin the safe-integer guard and its boundary

* docs: stop teaching the zero-default that caused a false alarm

* docs: write down the silent-vacuity failure modes

* feat(folio): tag the home total and the card transaction count

the total was the only untagged node on the screen, so the spec had to
sum cards and a clipped card broke the sum.

* fix(folio): read the app's own total and refuse contaminated windows

summing cards went null when one was clipped, and the null poisoned the
carrier for the rest of the run. the balance window also spanned every
transaction since the last home visit, so the property convicted on
deltas it could not attribute: the old web witness was 3.16x the typed
amount, not 2x.

* test(folio): pin the window rules and the count invariant

* fix(folio): never read a frame that shows two screens

android dumps a cross-fade with both screens in the tree. the route said
add-transaction while an unscoped find said home, so the oracle took a
half-rendered total as fresh and convicted on a tap that committed
nothing. one function now decides the route and returns null when the
frame is ambiguous.

* test(folio): cover transition frames, card readings and creation

* fix(folio): only disambiguate counts that came from merged text

the equal-length digit rule exists because web merges the card and an
account named -1 makes '12' ambiguous. a dedicated count node has
nothing to disambiguate, so applying it there threw away real evidence.

* ci(folio): pin the recalibrated seeds and drop android to a health gate

web 3 and ios 7 convict 3 runs out of 3 with an exactly 2x witness.
android convicts 2 in 5 because the same seed does not walk the same
trajectory there, so it proves the app runs instead.

* docs(ci): describe the two properties and why android cannot convict

* fix(android): wait out a route cross-fade before snapshotting

the dump could hold two screens at once, and the runner refuses to act
on such a tree, so a quarter of android steps applied no action and the
count varied per run: the same seed never walked the same trajectory.
the ios companion and the chrome driver already do this.

* ci(folio): let the android leg run far enough to see its conviction

* docs: only the repo owner merges

* ci(folio): a thrown predicate is not a conviction

exit 2 means the run recorded a violation, and a predicate that throws
is recorded as one too. so was newAccountBalanceIsZero, an unrelated
property in the same spec. the gate read the exit code and went green
with detection dead.

* ci: install idb-companion from its tap and stop interpolating inputs

idb-companion is not in homebrew-core, so the ios leg died before it
built anything. replay-ui expanded dispatch inputs into the shell.

* docs: correct the snippets and numbers that drifted from the code

* test(sidecar): pin that a slow read counts toward the stability streak

* fix(web): read the page's extractors only on steps that count

the page advances the spec's carriers when it evaluates, but the runner
applied the result only on non-transitional steps. a discarded step
moved the window forward anyway, so the next accepted pair bracketed two
transactions while counting one submit, and convicted a healthy app.
extractor errors now fail the run instead of leaving goja's values in
current against v8's in previous.

* fix(chrome): anchor the transition deadline when the dom goes quiet

it was anchored at script start, so a page that churned past the window
reached the check already expired and returned mid cross-fade. the
driver now publishes the idle timeout it needs, since the caller's 1s
could never spend the 800ms window.

* fix(web): fail on a partial extractor override

same mixed-producer hazard as the install error: some extractors hold
the page's value and the rest hold goja's, and a property comparing
across that split fires on a healthy app.

* docs: six of seven, the seventh is the stock property

* fix(folio): drop a name two cards answer to

homeTxnCountsOf keyed on the account name and let the last card win, so
two accounts the fuzzer named the same collapsed into one entry. a
reading that saw one Travel card and a later one that saw both then
subtracted two different accounts' counts, and
submitCommitsOneTransactionPerAction convicted a healthy app of
double-submitting. it is a gated property in folio-run.sh, so that reads
as "found the submit bug" over a card scrolling into view.

same rule createdAccountHasNonZeroBalance already applies: a name
nothing can attribute is no evidence. counted over every card, since an
unreadable twin spoils the identity too.

* perf(folio): read each frame once

every extractor asked routeOf, and routeOf does five ax.find calls. on
web each find walks the document and every shadow root beneath it, so
the spec cost 110 tree walks a step; homeCards was parsed four times
over. now 5 and once.

keyed on the identity of the state object because both hosts build a new
one per step and hand that one object to every getter, so it cannot
outlive its frame. holding the reference is what keeps that true rather
than likely.

* fix(web): keep an undefined reading's index through JSON

json has no undefined, so an extractor whose getter returned one had its
whole index dropped by JSON.stringify. that index then kept goja's
dump-derived value while its neighbours held the page's, and a property
comparing previous to current across the split fires on a healthy app.
folio has nine on(route, tag) extractors, so this was most extractors on
most steps.

each reading is wrapped in a {value} envelope: the drop now happens
inside the entry, and an absent value means the getter returned
undefined, which is what the goja host records for the same getter. a
json null would instead claim it returned null and x.current ===
undefined would answer differently on the two hosts.

* feat(verifier): report the registered extractor count

the web path needs it to check the page sent one reading per extractor.

* fix(runner): fail when the page reports fewer readings than extractors

the comment here already claimed a partial override was fatal. it was
not: the skipped check only catches indices outside the extractor list,
so a page reporting values for some extractors and not others left the
rest holding goja's reading of the dump with nothing said.

* test(browser): drive an undefined reading through the whole web path

four layers carry it: the page's envelope, the driver's unwrap, the
runner's count check and the verifier's decode. each has a unit test and
only a run proves they compose. goes red both ways, decoding an absent
value as null and dropping the envelope.

* fix(web): offer the aria roles a user activates

only role=button was in the tappable set, so link, checkbox, radio,
switch, tab, option, the menuitems and treeitem were invisible to the
enumeration however plain the control looked. the replay ui builds its
step rows as <li role="option">, and the spec dogfooding it had to
hand-write an action to reach them because no default verb could see a
single row.

both producers build the set from the same role list, since the parity
test compares them element by element.

* test(browser): tap a role-based control end to end

every control on the page is an <li role="option">, the shape the
replay ui gives its step rows, and the spec carries no action of its
own: the property firing is the evidence the default enumeration offered
a tap on one.

* fix(web): read aria-disabled as disabled

the enabled fact came off the disabled property, which only real form
controls have. it reads undefined on the role-based controls the
tappable set now covers, so every one of them looked enabled however
plainly it was marked otherwise, and the fuzzer would spend actions on
inert ones.

both producers answer the same two ways, and the parity fixture carries
a disabled row so the comparison covers it: reverting one side alone
names the element and the fact.

* docs(replay-ui): the enumeration reaches step rows now

the comment said role="option" is not in the tappable selector set,
which stopped being true a few commits ago. selectAStep stays, for the
reason the tab weight below it stays: one row among the page's clickable
elements is a thin chance, and both step-facing properties go vacuous on
a run that never selects one.

* test(runner): bound the last-action test by steps, not wall clock

100ms of wall clock against an assertion that two steps ran fatals under
load with "the web path never installed it", which reads as a
regression. every sibling test in the package uses a long duration and
MaxSteps.

* ci: run the kotlin tests in make test

RouteTransitionTest and the stability poll cover the android settle and
nothing in ci ran them. :sidecar:test needs no android sdk, checked by
running it with ANDROID_HOME pointed at nothing.

* fix(sidecar): measure the stability streak as observed quiet

parameterising pollUntilStable also moved the clock to the start of the
read that opened a run of identical snapshots, so a read's own duration
counted as quiet. the pre-existing caller polls a real uiautomator dump:
at 400ms a read, 750ms of required quiet became 250ms of observed quiet
and the poll settled in two reads instead of four.

the parameters stay, the semantics go back.

* test(sidecar): pin the transition cap by driving it

it asserted 1500 >= 700 + 300, two constants, which can only fail if
someone edits a constant. it now drives awaitSettledTree against a fade
that lands after 700ms and asserts it hands back the settled tree before
the cap. cut the cap to 1000 and it goes red.

* ci: pin buf-setup-action to a commit

it takes a token now, so a floating tag is a token handed to whatever
that tag moves to. note v1 there is a branch, not a tag, so the ref
lookup that resolves it is matching-refs/heads/v1.

* ci: declare least-privilege permissions

none of the three declared any, so each got the repository default.
release.yml and docs.yml already do this. all three only check out,
build, test and upload artifacts.

* ci: fail fast when a server never comes up

the readiness loops fell through silently after 30 tries, so a server
that never started surfaced as an opaque driver failure minutes later.
each now says what did not answer and on which port.

* ci(folio): a missing trace is not a verdict

with no trace the android gate ran its grep against ./trace.jsonl and
reported "never reached AddTransactionScreen, so it never got past
login", which is not what happened. the web and ios branches had the
same misdiagnosis on exit 0.

same class, one line up: the classifier's own failure was swallowed, so
with the evidence reader dead the gate printed a healthy run and exited
0.

* ci(replay-ui): skip a run directory with no trace

the summarise step is if: always(), and under github's bash -eo pipefail
an unmatched glob stays literal, the redirect fails, pipefail carries it
into the assignment and -e kills the step. so a failed fuzz run went red
twice, once for the real reason.

pj 76dce1a75e experiment instrumentation: step budgets, arm labels, campaign runner (#72)
* feat(cli): add --max-steps for step-bounded runs

runner.Options.MaxSteps already worked but was unreachable from the command
line. A step budget is what makes two generators comparable: one making a
model call per step and one drawing from a PRNG are not comparable per second.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01A5KmftdEJ49A9z5mF5ESrX

* feat(trace): record arm membership and host in meta.json

meta.json recorded the seed but not which picker ran, how it was configured,
what budget it was given, or which machine produced it. A directory of runs
cannot be attributed to an experiment cell without those, which makes any
factorial computed from such a directory unanalysable after the fact.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01A5KmftdEJ49A9z5mF5ESrX

* feat(cli): add --arm and populate run meta from it

Model and instructions are recorded only when the LLM picker is the one that
will actually run, so a spec declaring generator = llm() that is run under the
seeded picker does not label its trace with a model it never called.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01A5KmftdEJ49A9z5mF5ESrX

* feat(campaign): sweep seeds for one experiment cell

campaign.json lists the seeds a sweep intended to run and is written before
the first run, so a host that dropped runs shows up as missing seeds rather
than as a smaller sample. Seed 0 is rejected: sanderling test reads it as
"derive a seed from the clock", which is why conformance/gates.sh controls
nothing today.

Each run contributes one runs.jsonl line carrying steps to first violation by
origin step, the step that armed the failed obligation, so the survival
analysis never reopens a trace.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01A5KmftdEJ49A9z5mF5ESrX

* fix(runner): no silent generator fallback, and llm on web

--generator llm against a spec declaring no generator = llm(...) logged a
warning and ran the seeded picker. For a comparison campaign that is silent
arm corruption: the run completes, the directory looks correct, and the wrong
policy drove it. It is now fatal.

pickSources also returned the V8 source for both action and extractor on web
before it looked at the generator, so the llm policy was unreachable there.
The two axes are now independent: the driver picks the extractor source, the
flag picks the action source, and llmSource composes with either because the
runner populates the candidate list and screenshot on every platform.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01A5KmftdEJ49A9z5mF5ESrX

* fix(chrome): make the hierarchy dump agree with the web runtime

Three facts differed between the dump the goja host reads and the DOM the V8
host reads, so the two enumerated different candidates on one page.

scrollable was never emitted, and worker.go reads exactly that attribute while
targets.ts requires it for scrolls, so the goja host could not offer a single
web scroll. clickable tested el.onclick, which React assigns to its root
container for event delegation, making the whole viewport a tap target here and
in no other enumeration. Both now resolve through the selector sets in
pkg/spec/src/web-runtime.ts.

The dump also rooted at body while collectTargets walks querySelectorAll("*"),
so the goja host never saw html, where page-level scrolling lives. It now roots
at documentElement and skips the head subtree, which is all zero-bounds and
would otherwise carry script and title text into the trace.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01A5KmftdEJ49A9z5mF5ESrX

* fix(conformance): give the gate reproducible seeds

SEED defaulted to 0 and sanderling test reads --seed 0 as "derive a seed from
the clock", so the tunable controlled nothing and a gate failure could not be
re-run. SEEDS now takes one explicit non-zero seed per run, recorded in the
results table so a failing row names its stream.

The five runs stay on five different streams: a gate that scored one path five
times would catch less than one that scores five.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01A5KmftdEJ49A9z5mF5ESrX

* fix(chrome): emit editable as a plain boolean

editable was emitted as `isEditable || null`, and an absent field sends
internal/hierarchy into the native fallback, which reads any class name
containing "EditText" as an Android text widget. On web that is just a CSS
class, so a page styling a div with it was editable to the goja host and not to
the web runtime, and the model policy could be offered typing into a div.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01A5KmftdEJ49A9z5mF5ESrX

* fix(spec): leave the head subtree out of the web target walk

collectTargets walked querySelectorAll("*") while the hierarchy dump skips head,
so the two hosts enumerated different element sets on every page with a <head>.
No candidate changes: builtinCandidates pushes only for targets acceptsTarget
admits, and head elements have no positive bounds, so the list the draw ranges
over is untouched. What changes is that targetIndex now means the same thing on
both hosts.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01A5KmftdEJ49A9z5mF5ESrX

* test(chrome): compare the facts both hosts derive from one DOM

The existing parity harness hand-authors the facts on both sides, so it proves
that given identical facts both hosts select identical candidates, and says
nothing about the two code paths that derive those facts from a real page. Four
divergences lived in that blind spot and it passed throughout.

This drives one real page and compares clickable, enabled, editable, scrollable
and positiveBounds element by element, plus the element sets themselves, which
is what catches a host that omits html or includes head. Reverting any of the
four fixes makes it fail naming the element and the fact.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01A5KmftdEJ49A9z5mF5ESrX

* chore(make): run the browser packages one at a time

Both launch Chrome and launching two at once has failed with "Launch: context
canceled".

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01A5KmftdEJ49A9z5mF5ESrX

* style: remove every em-dash and en-dash

Eighteen occurrences across fourteen files. Each sentence was repunctuated to
suit what the dash was doing rather than swapped for a hyphen, which produces
comma splices. The minus sign in folio-web's ledger is a minus sign and stays.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01A5KmftdEJ49A9z5mF5ESrX

* fix(chrome): honor the caller context in Launch

Launch and clearState ran against d.tabCtx, so a target that accepts the
connection and never answers wedged the process past its own --duration and
through SIGTERM, needing SIGKILL. Unattended that is a campaign worker lost for
the rest of the sweep with no diagnostic.

The browser is still allocated against d.tabCtx first, because chromedp starts
Chrome under whichever context calls Run first and allocating under a caller
deadline would kill the browser when Launch returns. Everything after
allocation goes through runCtx.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01A5KmftdEJ49A9z5mF5ESrX

* fix(sidecarassets): publish the extracted jar through a rename

Extract wrote a 96 MB jar with a plain WriteFile into a temp path every
sanderling process on the host shares. On a cold host several concurrent
workers all miss the checksum and all write the same path, and O_TRUNC lets one
spawn a JVM against another's half-written archive. A fresh experiment host is
exactly a cold host.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01A5KmftdEJ49A9z5mF5ESrX

* feat(campaign): kill a run that outlives --run-timeout

A wedged run holds its worker for the rest of the sweep, and on an unattended
host nothing else will send it a signal. Defaults to three times --duration and
must exceed it. A killed run is recorded as timed_out rather than as a generic
failure, so the analysis can tell a lost cell from a real crash.
