 ## Project Structure & Module Organization
 
-REA is a layered ESM TypeScript application. Dependencies flow inward: `domain` underlies `contracts` and the shared `process` primitives; providers depend on those layers, followed by `application`, `server`, and the entry adapters.
+REA is a layered ESM TypeScript application. Dependencies flow inward from pure domain logic through contracts, providers, application workflows, and CLI/MCP adapters. See [docs/architecture.mermaid](docs/architecture.mermaid) for the component map.

-
-- `scripts/rea.mjs`: executable dispatcher. Routes only bare `mcp` and `--mcp` to the production stdio server; Incur handles registration utilities and one-shot commands.
-- `src/main.ts`: MCP adapter. Parses config, wires the shared session runtime, starts stdio transport, and owns process-lifetime shutdown.
-- `src/cli.ts`: one-shot CLI adapter for setup, diagnostics, analysis, and decompilation.
-- `src/config.ts`: Zod-validated parsing of environment configuration into `AppConfig`.
-- `src/domain/`: pure, side-effect-free modules. `errors.ts` owns the tagged error algebra; `result.ts` owns `Result`/`ok`/`err`; `hopperValues.ts` owns shared function-dossier values plus Hopper boundary parsers; `symbolAnalysis.ts` parses Swift/ObjC names; `javascriptApplicationGraph.ts` validates and canonically commits the provider-neutral JavaScript Application Graph; `javascriptStaticAnalysis.ts` performs bounded AST-only JavaScript structure recovery.
-- `src/contracts/`: caller-visible tool schemas and catalog metadata; `toolContracts.ts` owns the canonical inventory and `enhancedInputs.ts` owns enhanced input parsing.
-- `src/process/`: provider-neutral process ownership and lifecycle primitives. It owns private runtime roots, session-assigned run identity and token-verified lineage, absolute startup deadlines, correlated request waits, bounded output capture, and TERM-to-KILL cleanup without defining any provider wire protocol.
-- `src/replay/`: Linux x64 controlled-JavaScript-replay adapter. It owns exact runtime closure inspection, Bubblewrap/seccomp/cgroup admission, the disposable worker, strict parent/worker protocol validation, and complete cleanup observation.
-- `src/browser/`: loopback CDP/Inspector discovery, bounded WebSocket transport, exact-origin or canonical-root target authorization, passive browser/Electron and attach-only Node/Electron V8 observation, plus controlled Playwright scenarios with explicit launch/attach ownership and cleanup.
-- `src/hopper/`: Hopper launch and Unix-socket protocol mechanics. `BridgeLauncher.ts` spawns the Hopper app with the in-process bridge, `HopperClient.ts` correlates request/response over the socket with timeouts and cancellation, `protocol.ts` frames bridge messages.
-- `bridge/hopper_bridge.py`: runs inside Hopper and adapts declared operations to Hopper's public Python API. Hopper's bundled MCP server is not used.
-- `src/ghidra/`: exact Ghidra 12.1.2/JDK 21 inspection, analysis-profile commitment, digest-bound target snapshots, isolated `analyzeHeadless` launch, authenticated Unix-socket or Windows loopback transport, bounded serial request queue, and strict inventory/function boundaries.
-- `src/dotnet/`: execution-free managed PE/CLI inspection. It owns bounded PE, CLI metadata, heap, table, and resource parsing for `rea-dotnet-static`; it must never load, reflect, execute, decompile, or resolve target assemblies.
-- `bridge/ghidra/ReaGhidraBridge.java`: packaged read-only `HeadlessScript` loaded through Ghidra's `scriptPath`; it owns the persistent decompiler and adapts admitted inventory, function, reference, and CFG operations to public Ghidra APIs.
-- `src/application/`: shared CLI/MCP session composition, setup and diagnostics, and enhanced workflows. `AnalysisProviderRegistry` discovers overlapping deep candidates without starting them; `SessionProviderRouter` binds one candidate per target and composes it with disjoint auxiliary providers; `JavaScriptArtifactReconstruction.ts` safely projects local directories/ASARs and inert bundle syntax into the application graph without adding a caller-visible tool yet.
-- `src/server/`: MCP request translation. `createServer.ts` assembles the MCP server, `registerOfficialTools.ts`/`registerEnhancedTools.ts` register each tool set, `toolResult.ts` maps `Result` values to MCP content.
-- `docs/product-catalog.json`: generated package, tool-family, provider, setup-client, schema-version, and CLI facts. Regenerate it from source; do not edit it by hand.
-- `tests/`: Vitest suite. `tests/fixtures/` holds reusable provider-process fixtures, source-owned synthetic JavaScript graph and Electron/Webpack/Rspack artifact trees, and the fake launcher, Hopper bridge, and CDP seams.
-- `scripts/verify-real-hopper.mjs`: real-Hopper end-to-end verifier.
-- `scripts/verify-real-ghidra.mjs`: real Linux Ghidra verifier for x86-64 debug/stripped ELF, AArch64 ELF, PE, and Mach-O function semantics plus complete cleanup.
-- `scripts/verify-real-ghidra-windows.mjs`: real Windows x64 Ghidra P0 verifier for the source-owned native PE fixture, all 19 admitted operations, digest linkage, loopback transport, and cleanup.
-- `scripts/verify-real-browser.mjs`: real Chrome end-to-end verifier for the passive CDP provider.
-- `scripts/print-mcp-config.mjs`: prints an MCP server config with absolute paths filled in (`npm run config:print -- /path/to/binary`).

 ## Configuration & Environment Variables
 
-- `REA_ANALYSIS_PROVIDER` (optional, default `auto`): require one deep-analysis provider ID for startup and one-shot commands, or use deterministic automatic selection. A request-level `provider_id`/`--provider` takes precedence.
-- `GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR` (optional): absolute root of an extracted official Ghidra 12.1.2 distribution. The adapter supports Linux x64 and the experimental Windows x64 P0 boundary documented in `docs/windows-ghidra-p0.md`.
-- `JAVA_HOME` (optional): absolute 64-bit full JDK 21 root used by Ghidra. When absent, doctor probes `java`/`javac` from `PATH`.
-- `REA_ILSPY_CMD_PATH` (optional): absolute path to a bring-your-own `ilspycmd`; doctor reports its configured version, and `verify:managed` can use it as a real reconstruction oracle without making ILSpy a setup-installed dependency or canonical parser.
-- `HOPPER_TARGET_PATH` (optional): absolute initial binary or `.hop` target. Target-free MCP sessions use `open_binary` instead.
-- `HOPPER_LAUNCHER_PATH` (optional): override the Hopper executable path (defaults to `/Applications/Hopper Disassembler.app/Contents/MacOS/hopper`).
-- `HOPPER_TARGET_KIND` (optional, default `executable`): startup kind for `HOPPER_TARGET_PATH`; dynamic targets are classified from their paths and headers.
-- `HOPPER_LOADER_ARGS_JSON` (optional): JSON array overriding derived Hopper loader arguments for supported executable targets, e.g. `["-l","Mach-O","--aarch64"]`.
-- `REA_BROWSER_OBSERVE_ENABLED` (optional, default `false`): add browser observation authority to the administrator ceiling.
-- `REA_BROWSER_CDP_ENDPOINTS_JSON` (optional): approved literal loopback CDP HTTP endpoints.
-- `REA_BROWSER_ALLOWED_ORIGINS_JSON` (optional): exact HTTP(S) page origins approved for passive observation.
-- `REA_BROWSER_SCENARIO_ENABLED` (optional, default `false`): add controlled browser automation to the administrator ceiling.
-- `REA_BROWSER_SCENARIO_AUTO_GRANT` (optional, default `false`): issue the exact configured browser-automation ceiling as an administrator grant for trusted unattended use.
-- `REA_BROWSER_SCENARIO_EXECUTABLE_ROOTS_JSON` (optional): canonical executable roots approved for provider-owned browser launch.
-- `REA_BROWSER_SCENARIO_CDP_ENDPOINTS_JSON` (optional): literal-loopback CDP endpoints approved for external-browser attachment.
-- `REA_BROWSER_SCENARIO_ALLOWED_ORIGINS_JSON` (optional): exact HTTP(S) page origins approved for browser scenarios.
-- `REA_BROWSER_SCENARIO_ALLOWED_ENV_JSON` (optional): environment-variable names that scenario secret references may resolve.
-- `REA_ELECTRON_OBSERVE_ENABLED` (optional, default `false`): add passive Electron file-page observation authority to the administrator ceiling.
-- `REA_ELECTRON_CDP_ENDPOINTS_JSON` (optional): approved literal loopback Electron CDP HTTP endpoints.
-- `REA_ELECTRON_FILE_ROOTS_JSON` (optional): canonical filesystem roots approved for passive Electron page observation.
-- `REA_V8_INSPECTOR_OBSERVE_ENABLED` (optional, default `false`): add passive attach-only Node/Electron Inspector observation authority to the administrator ceiling.
-- `REA_V8_INSPECTOR_ENDPOINTS_JSON` (optional): approved literal-loopback Node/Electron Inspector HTTP endpoints.
-- `REA_V8_INSPECTOR_FILE_ROOTS_JSON` (optional): canonical filesystem roots approved for Inspector targets and script locations.
-- `REA_V8_INSPECTOR_ALLOWED_ORIGINS_JSON` (optional): exact HTTP(S) origins approved for Electron renderer Inspector targets and scripts.
-- `REA_INVESTIGATION_INPUT_ROOTS_JSON` (optional): canonical filesystem roots approved for static JavaScript/Electron application analysis and other investigation inputs.
-- `REA_JAVASCRIPT_REPLAY_ENABLED` (optional, default `false`): add controlled extracted-module execution authority to the administrator ceiling.
-- `REA_JAVASCRIPT_REPLAY_ROOTS_JSON` (optional): exact canonical source roots approved for controlled replay.
-- `REA_JAVASCRIPT_REPLAY_NODE_PATH`, `REA_JAVASCRIPT_REPLAY_BWRAP_PATH`, `REA_JAVASCRIPT_REPLAY_SYSTEMD_RUN_PATH`, `REA_JAVASCRIPT_REPLAY_SYSTEMCTL_PATH`, and `REA_JAVASCRIPT_REPLAY_SHELL_PATH` (optional): absolute paths committed by each replay plan; defaults target the current Node runtime and standard Linux system executables.
+Configuration is parsed and validated by `src/config.ts` and `src/config/`. Keep user-facing setup and provider configuration in [README.md](README.md) and the relevant guide under `docs/`; do not maintain a second environment-variable catalogue here.
 
 ## Coding Style & Naming Conventions
 
 Use ESM TypeScript, two-space indentation, and Prettier defaults. Keep compiler strictness intact (`strict`, `exactOptionalPropertyTypes`, `noUncheckedIndexedAccess`, `verbatimModuleSyntax`). Use `camelCase` for values/functions, `PascalCase` for classes/types, and `UPPER_SNAKE_CASE` for constants. Parse unknown values at every MCP, environment, and subprocess boundary. Avoid `any`, unchecked casts, non-null assertions, import-time I/O, and floating promises. Exported APIs require concise JSDoc. Model expected failures with the tagged error algebra and `Result`, not broad exception wrappers.
 
+## Designing MCP Tools
+
+Start from the analyst question and desired result, not a provider API. Before adding a tool, inspect the existing contract and its nearest alternative.
+
+- Prefer reusable, composable primitives: inspect one explicit object or
+  relationship and return evidence that can support different analyst
+  questions. Compose primitives into a workflow only for a recurring outcome
+  that benefits from joining evidence sources; keep one-application or
+  business-domain interpretations out of general tool contracts.
+- Use **inspect/search** tools for facts about a target or candidate set; use **trace** tools for relationships; use **compare** tools for explicitly paired inputs.
+- Add a **workflow** when observed agent use shows a repeated sequence that REA can compose without losing analyst control. Return useful results inline so callers can choose their next action.
+- Use **observe/capture/replay** only when runtime activity is required, and declare authority and lifecycle effects in the contract.
+- Extend an existing tool when intent and result contract are unchanged. Add a tool for a distinct analyst outcome or materially different authority.
+- Keep caller-facing names and results provider-neutral. Put engine-specific behavior in provider adapters and report each provider's exact coverage.
+- Keep results complete by default. Add a limit only when it follows from a real format, protocol, authority, or resource-safety constraint; explain truncation and unsupported facets. Keep observed, derived, inferred, and unknown results distinct.
+- Include artifact identity, source locations, Evidence references, actionable errors, and relevant limitations when they affect conclusions. Return the evidence needed for the next analysis inline rather than requiring a resource or identifier lookup.
+- Implement shared application workflows behind CLI and MCP adapters. Update canonical contracts and generated catalog together.
+
+See [docs/tool-design.md](docs/tool-design.md) for the design checklist. When usability or tool selection changes, evaluate representative CLI/MCP tasks as well as schema and transport behavior.
+
 ## Testing Guidelines
 
-Name tests `*.test.ts`. Use Vitest and production seams (`tests/fixtures/`) rather than module mocks. Domain tests assert pure behavior; adapter tests use fake launcher/socket seams; MCP tests connect with the client SDK version pinned in `package.json`. Preserve the canonical tool inventory defined by `TOOL_CONTRACTS` and verified through `CATALOG_IDENTITY` and generated product metadata. Cover malformed input, cancellation, timeouts, process exit, concurrency, limits, and clean shutdown. Real Hopper, Ghidra, browser, JavaScript replay, managed conformance, and any real managed-tool claims cannot be replaced by mocks; use the corresponding `verify:*` command.

Domain tests assert pure behavior; adapter tests use fake launcher/socket seams; MCP tests connect with the client SDK version pinned in `package.json`. Preserve the canonical tool inventory defined by `TOOL_CONTRACTS` and verified through `CATALOG_IDENTITY` and generated product metadata. Cover malformed input, cancellation, lifecycle cleanup, and actual format, protocol, and permission boundaries. Do not add tests that merely freeze arbitrary caps or prescribed call sequences. Real Hopper, Ghidra, browser, JavaScript replay, managed conformance, and any real managed-tool claims cannot be replaced by mocks; use the corresponding `verify:*` command.
 
-MCP tools are agent-computer interfaces. Optimize them first for successful agent use: distinct purposes, clear names and parameters, relevant result context, actionable errors, and realistic multi-step workflows. Validate tool-design changes with representative agent tasks and transcripts when possible; schema validity and transport success alone do not prove that a tool is easy for an agent to use.
-
-MCP tool catalogs must remain complete and self-describing. Prefer capability- and session-scoped tool advertisement over schema truncation. Never use serialized byte counts as a proxy for model-context cost, token use, tool usability, or agent performance. Measure bytes only when evaluating a named transport, storage, or protocol constraint. Any model-context or token-efficiency claim must identify the client and its actual model-facing projection and tokenizer, since clients may omit, transform, dereference, or otherwise reproject MCP schemas. Do not weaken names, descriptions, schemas, examples, errors, or result context to improve a byte-based metric.
+Keep tool catalogs complete and self-describing; prefer capability- and session-scoped availability over schema truncation. Serialized bytes alone do not measure agent usability or model context cost.

-- With explicit `unknown_registry_approved: true`, record bounded trace/capture residuals, typed provider unavailability, and capture disagreements automatically.
+- Evidence-producing workflows record returned residual uncertainty as residual unknowns linked to their result Evidence. Errors without supporting Evidence do not create registry records.
 - Start six [guided MCP workflows](docs/mcp-prompts.md) with live, session-aware completion for documents, procedures, providers, evidence, captures, artifact IDs, and active unknowns.

Windows Ghidra P0 uses authenticated IPv4 loopback but does not claim named-pipe DACL or hostile-local-user isolation. Dynamic capabilities are disabled by default and require both operator policy and explicit per-call approval. Shipped providers, passive observers, and Process Capture are not security sandboxes: providers and launched targets run with the current user's permissions. Extracted JavaScript replay is a distinct Linux-only capability that fails closed unless Bubblewrap namespaces, architecture-checked seccomp, private runtime mounts, and delegated cgroup limits are available; it never inherits browser, Electron, or Process Capture authority.

Frames (200), DOM nodes (2,000), accessibility nodes (2,000), scripts (200), resources (2,000), workers (500), and each storage key/name inventory (1,000) have conservative defaults and caller-visible hard bounds. Script source bytes, network events, console events, and WebSocket events are bounded separately. The CLI exposes the same limits as kebab-case options such as `--max-frames` and `--max-storage-keys`.

Version discovery is capped at 64 KiB, target discovery at 2 MiB, each WebSocket message at 16 MiB, and correlated pending commands at 128. Target and navigation-event inventories have no separate count cap. These transport bounds protect protocol framing and request correlation; they do not silently trim returned findings.

+## Active Electron scenarios
+
+Active Electron authority is separate and disabled by default. When enabled,
+REA launches an operator-approved Electron executable through the official
+Playwright Electron API, owns its lifetime, accepts bounded click/wait actions,
+window-targeted renderer reload/crash actions, and synthetic `open-url` or
+`second-instance` deep-link delivery. It records capture-scoped window and
+WebContents identities, process metrics, and IPC channel and value-shape metadata.

+REA_ELECTRON_EXECUTABLE=/absolute/path/to/electron npm run verify:electron
+```
+
+This capability actively launches and interacts with the target. It is not a
+passive CDP observation and must be granted separately as `electron_automate`.
+The default is fail-closed (`AUTO_GRANT=false`); an operator can instead issue
+a project/session/one-shot grant through the normal permission workflow. The
+owned process keeps normal host filesystem and network privileges, so this is
+an authority boundary and lifecycle boundary, not a sandbox.
+
+The CLI and MCP surfaces accept the same schema. For a JSON request file:
+
+```bash
+rea capture-electron-scenario scenario.json --json
+```
+
+The result records action status and targets, correlated app/window/WebContents,
+preload, session, navigation, shell, permission, popup, download, protocol,
+native-addon, process, and IPC timeline events. IPC channels are capped at
+1,024 characters and argument-shape metadata at 32 entries; values are never
+retained. Renderer crash/restart and deep-link actions are synthetic
+scenario controls; their attempted and observed outcomes remain in the
+timeline. The active hook blocks and records external shell/navigation,
+permission, download, popup, updater, and OS-integration effects. The timeline
+is explicitly partial when attachment starts after application activity. The
+owned experiment has an internal 60-second deadline and a 5-second per-action
+timeout so hung work reaches process cleanup; these are lifecycle timeouts, not
+caller-selected capture limits.
+
+Active Electron Evidence can also be supplied to
+[`reconcile_javascript_runtime`](javascript-runtime-reconciliation.md). That
+projection is intentionally target-only and partial: it binds the approved
+application path and capture outcome to the static graph, while frames, scripts,
+workers, and execution claims remain unavailable until a separate passive runtime

-# Persistent investigation workspaces
-
-REA can run a deterministic artifact investigation across two versions and
-persist its Evidence beyond a CLI process or MCP session. The CLI and MCP use
-the same application workflow.
-
-## CLI
-
-First allow the directory that will own the workspace, then explicitly approve
-the write:
-
-```bash
-export REA_EVIDENCE_ROOTS_JSON='["/absolute/path/to/evidence"]'
-export REA_INVESTIGATION_INPUT_ROOTS_JSON='["/absolute/path/to/releases"]'
-
-rea investigate-versions \
-  /absolute/path/to/version-1 \
-  /absolute/path/to/version-2 \
-  /absolute/path/to/evidence/releases.json \
-  --workspace-name releases \
-  --yes
-```
-
-The two versions may be regular artifacts or directories supported by the
-artifact graph provider. Both must resolve beneath an explicitly configured
-`REA_INVESTIGATION_INPUT_ROOTS_JSON` root. The workspace parent must already
-exist beneath `REA_EVIDENCE_ROOTS_JSON`. REA never creates an allowlisted root
-implicitly.
-
-Use `--expected-revision N` when an external coordinator needs an explicit
-compare-and-swap guard. Traversal, byte, page, and comparison limits are also
-available as CLI options.
-
-After a completed run returns its stable run ID, `--replay-run-id RUN_ID`
-selects that exact result without reading or rescanning either version input.
-The workspace still requires read authority. REA rejects a selector that is
-missing, incomplete, or inconsistent with the requested paths and controls.
-
-## MCP
-
-`find_changed_behavior` retains its existing aggregation mode. Its additive
-`investigation_run` mode starts or resumes the same persistent workflow:
-
-```json
-{
-  "investigation_run": {
-    "approved": true,
-    "workspace_path": "/absolute/path/to/evidence/releases.json",

-  }
-}
-```
-
-Exactly one of `comparisons` or `investigation_run` is accepted. The MCP tool
-inventory remains unchanged.
-
-## Checkpoints and reuse
-
-One run has four ordered stages:
-
-1. Inventory the left version.
-2. Inventory the right version.
-3. Compare the complete artifact Evidence page sets.
-4. Derive the changed-behavior report.
-
-The inventory checkpoint is written first, followed by the comparison and final
-report checkpoints. A process interrupted after a checkpoint can resume from
-the last complete stage. A completed run is reused when both graph commitments
-and every bounded option are identical.
-
-By default, REA rescans the version inputs so changed content creates a new
-run. For an explicit cache-only replay, add the returned `run_id` as
-`investigation_run.replay_run_id`. REA validates the workspace revision and
-name, the complete run, its exact paths and controls, and every linked Evidence
-record before it skips input-read authorization.
-
-The run ID is a SHA-256 commitment to both root and graph digests plus the
-normalized options. Local paths and timestamps do not affect that identity.
-Changing either artifact or a budget creates a new run in the same workspace;
-it does not overwrite the earlier run.
-
-## Integrity and concurrency
-
-A workspace contains a canonical Evidence v2 bundle plus run manifests. Each
-workspace revision has a deterministic digest and points to the prior revision
-digest. Parsing verifies:
-
-- the workspace, run, Evidence, graph, and revision identities;
-- canonical ordering and unique run IDs;
-- every run-to-Evidence reference;
-- stage and completion-state consistency.
-
-Writes are canonical JSON, atomic, fsynced, and mode `0600`. REA rejects
-workspace paths outside `REA_EVIDENCE_ROOTS_JSON`, symlink destinations,
-artifact inputs outside `REA_INVESTIGATION_INPUT_ROOTS_JSON`,
-oversized or deeply nested JSON, stale expected revisions, and concurrent lock
-holders. Lock or CAS conflicts fail without mutating the workspace; callers may
-retry the same idempotent request.
-
-## Truth boundary
-
-The automatic run currently observes shipped artifact structure. Artifact
-changes are static behavior candidates, not runtime observations or causal
-claims. Without controlled process comparison Evidence, `behavior_status`
-remains `unknown` even when static differences are present. Provider
-limitations, incomplete comparison pages, and unsupported container expansion
-remain explicit in the final Evidence.
-
-Automatic Hopper function matching, process replay, protocols, UI comparison,
-and reconstruction verification are not yet stages of this run. Existing
-manual comparison Evidence can still be aggregated through the original
-`find_changed_behavior` mode.

+# Native UI and dispatch investigation
+
+REA joins static resources, native metadata and code facts while keeping runtime
+observations separate. Every result reports its evidence, target identity,
+coverage and unknowns. The CLI and MCP use the same application workflows.
+
+## Static inspection
+
+- `inspect_asset_catalog` / `rea inspect-asset-catalog <app>` reads compiled
+  `Assets.car` metadata through macOS `assetutil --info`. Catalog digests, raw
+  rendition fields, pagination and exact UI resource-name matches are returned.
+  Image extraction and undocumented rendition interpretation are unsupported.
+- `inspect_keyed_archive` / `rea inspect-keyed-archive <plist>` reads XML or
+  binary Foundation keyed archives without instantiating classes. For an active
+  app, provide its relative archive path as the second CLI argument or MCP
+  `path`. Results retain original `$objects` indices, named `$top` roots,
+  shared/cyclic references, class descriptors, raw serialized fields and
+  malformed/unresolved/nil references. Missing fields stay absent; unknown
+  classes are preserved. Select `root`, `offset` and `limit` explicitly.
+  UID 0 cannot distinguish conditional nil from ordinary nil. Limits are
+  64 MiB of input, 200,000 objects/references and 128 nesting levels.
+- `decode_interface_builder` / `rea decode-interface-builder <app>` reads
+  compiled storyboard and nib resources into objects, outlets, actions,
+  connections and controller/class names. `verify:interface-builder` compiles
+  a source-owned AppKit XIB with `ibtool`. Storyboards require an installed
+  iOS platform; unsupported archive forms remain explicit.
+- `inspect_native_dispatch_metadata` / `rea inspect-native-dispatch-metadata
+<app-or-binary>` prefers a validated macOS Mach-O byte reader. It decodes
+  64-bit little-endian Objective-C class/metaclass records, superclass pointers,
+  absolute/relative method entries, ivar offsets/sizes/alignment and protocol
+  declarations. It also decodes simple Swift conformances, static synchronous
+  witness slots, signed-relative pointers and non-generic, non-resilient class
+  vtable descriptors. Records include exact virtual addresses/file offsets and
+  artifact evidence. Vtable indexes are metadata word offsets; witness indexes
+  start after the conformance header. Names unavailable in metadata remain null.
+  Chained fixups, external bindings, authenticated pointers, categories,
+  properties, generic/resilient/async/coroutine tables and inherited overrides
+  have explicit unsupported or partial coverage. Other providers retain the
+  existing symbol-based inventory with its narrower coverage.
+
+## Native instruction, call and type primitives
+
+Ghidra supplies three exact-object operations:
+
+```bash
+rea inspect-native-instruction <binary> <address> --provider ghidra
+rea resolve-native-call-targets <binary> <call-site> --provider ghidra
+rea inspect-native-data-type <binary> --type /MyStruct --provider ghidra
+rea inspect-native-data-type <binary> --address <typed-data-address> --provider ghidra
+```
+
+Instruction facts include bytes, length, decoder text, ordered register/scalar/
+address tokens, typed references and flow destinations. Mid-instruction, data,
+outside-memory and undecodable addresses have separate outcomes. Effective
+memory base/index/displacement roles and per-instruction context mode remain
+unavailable; `mode` is the program language variant.
+
+Call resolution reports direct, resolved indirect, ambiguous, unresolved and
+non-call outcomes from static call references. It does not establish runtime
+execution or classify Objective-C/Swift/vtable/closure mechanisms from names.
+
+Type inspection selects one exact database pathname or typed data address.
+Struct/union fields, enums, pointers, arrays, typedefs, size, alignment, packing
+and bitfields retain database authority. Child types use exact IDs for further
+inspection, including recursive layouts. Source/debug authority and flexible
+array semantics are not inferred. The real lane uses a native DWARF 4 object
+with a struct containing a union, enum and recursive pointer; a stripped linked
+binary may have no corresponding recovered layout.
+
+## Bounded static traces
+
+`trace_native_ui_action` / `rea trace-native-ui-action <target> <seed>` accepts
+one authored selector/object ID, native symbol or exact function address. It
+joins UI wiring to uniquely matched class/selector implementations and follows
+bounded typed call references. Direct references, resolved indirect references,
+ambiguous candidates, inferred untyped provider callees and targetless call
+sites remain distinct. A static route does not establish runtime reachability.
+Swift/closure dispatch requires resolved static references; unavailable ABI
+forms remain unknown.
+
+`trace_native_values` / `rea trace-native-values <binary> <procedure> --provider
+ ghidra` composes high-p-code def-use graphs across statically resolved calls.
+Logical CALL arguments bind to recovered parameter ordinals; recovered RETURN
+values bind to CALL outputs. These edges are decompiler-derived. Constants,
+operators, LOAD/STORE and branch operands are included inline. Alias effects,
+persistent state, RNG roles, missing/variadic bindings and ambiguous destinations
+remain unknown. Budgets control depth, decompilations, call-site resolutions,
+nodes and edges. Node payloads are bounded to 8 MiB and serialized results to
+32 MiB. Pagination returns edges whose source is on the node page and preserves
+stable IDs for endpoints outside that page.
+
+The raw Java `is_dead` flag can remain set after Ghidra decodes a live block;
+`block_membership` reports actual syntax-tree membership separately.
+
+The provider dossier itself retains up to 3,000 p-code operations, 64 inputs per
+operation and 12,000 def-use edges, with explicit omitted counts. A `STORE`
+may describe stack memory and does not itself prove persistent state.
+
+AArch64 jump-table recovery additionally verifies byte and halfword relative
+forms from unsigned bounds, register definitions, table loads, branch bases,
+scaled ADD/BR instructions and the recovered target set. It reads exactly the
+proven count and preserves unknowns for other forms. Real ELF and host ARM64
+Mach-O fixtures check each case against source-owned return values.
+
+## Approved native desktop observation
+
+`observe_native_ui` captures one explicit existing PID/window ID after
+`observation_approved: true`. Screenshots use a selected-window ScreenCaptureKit
+filter on macOS 14+; accessibility reads stay within that window. Missing Screen
+Recording/Accessibility permissions produce actionable errors without broad
+capture or automatic permission prompts. Executable bytes and process launch
+time guard against a different target or PID reuse. AX selection requires one
+unique geometry match; ambiguity fails closed.
+
+`capture_native_ui_scenario` additionally requires `actions_approved: true` and
+`restore: "leave-as-is"`. Steps select AX child-index paths for press, increment/
+decrement scrolling and text-value entry, or bounded waits. No global event
+injection is used. Unsupported AX actions fail explicitly. The result preserves
+ordered before/after captures and gaps; an action may have occurred before a
+post-action capture fails. The caller must choose whether to recover app state.
+
+Scenarios allow 16 steps, 30 seconds of total waits, 2,000 AX nodes per capture,
+8 MiB PNGs and 64 MiB output within a 180-second deadline. REA compiles one owned
+helper per scenario, removes its temporary compiler cache and stops its helper
+on cancellation. It does not launch or own the selected application. Approved
+UI actions may change application data or trigger network activity.
+
+## Provider and verification boundaries
+
+Ghidra 12.1.4 with a full 64-bit JDK 21 is bring-your-own. Linux x64 and macOS
+x64/arm64 are admitted; macOS requires the matching native decompiler. Windows
+x64 P0 remains limited to approved native PE applications. There is no GUI or
+mutation authority and no automatic fallback to Hopper.
+
+- `npm run verify:ghidra`: host-native debug/stripped targets, native type layout,
+  instruction/call facts, value dependencies and process/project cleanup.
+- `npm run verify:ghidra:aarch64-jump-table`: optimized ELF and byte/halfword
+  relative tables, plus ARM64 Mach-O on an ARM64 macOS host.
+- `npm run verify:apple-dispatch`: source-built Objective-C protocols/classes and
+  Swift conformances/vtables, repeated after stripping local symbols.
+- `npm run verify:native-ui`: one source-owned fixture window, selected capture
+  or a reported OS permission denial, changed-target rejection and cleanup.
+
+macOS ARM64 is the real host verified during this implementation. Admission of
+macOS Intel does not claim an Intel verification run. Unsupported metadata and
+unresolved runtime/value semantics remain visible in results.

-| Procedures       | Both non-external and external functions are listed. A local thunk remains distinct from its resolved target; exact and qualified name lookup fails on ambiguity rather than guessing.                                                                                                                                   |
-| Strings          | Only Ghidra-defined string `Data` is observed. Items report charset, byte length, and whether a required null terminator is missing. The API cannot distinguish a present terminator from fixed/Pascal layouts when no terminator is missing, so that state is named `present_or_not_required`.                          |
-| Memory           | Memory-block end addresses are exclusive. Read/write/execute, initialization, overlay, address space, and image base are direct Ghidra observations.                                                                                                                                                                     |
-| Pagination       | List limits are 500 and search limits are 100. Pages commit exact totals and advancing offsets; an inventory above one million items fails rather than returning a partial result labeled exhaustive.                                                                                                                    |
-| Search           | Literal search scans the immutable inventory with a 1,000,000-unit cumulative work budget. Regex uses a conservative finite Java-regex subset with 10,000 static paths, 4,096 UTF-16 code units per candidate, and the same cumulative budget. Exceeding a budget fails explicitly; returned values identify truncation. |
-| Analysis state   | The socket is exposed only after default auto-analysis. A 300-second analysis timeout fails target opening; ordinary established requests have a 10-second client deadline and every response has a 1 MiB ceiling.                                                                                                       |

+| ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Program identity | One `analyzeHeadless` import produces exactly one Program; `list_documents` therefore returns exactly one name.                                                                                                                                                                                 |
+| Addresses        | Default memory uses lowercase `0x` hexadecimal. Non-default and external spaces use `<percent-encoded-space>:0x<hex>` and remain round-trippable. The handshake commits image base and default address-space name.                                                                              |

+| Inventory        | Procedure, symbol, and string listings plus searches return the complete matching collection in one response; callers do not provide offsets or result-count limits.                                                                                                                            |

-| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
-| Decompiler lifetime     | One persistent `DecompInterface` is opened for the imported Program and disposed during bridge shutdown. Each native decompile has a 30-second deadline; the socket leaves a bounded 35-second projection window. External functions or functions without bodies return `null`; timeout, cancellation, and native failure remain distinct. |
-| Serialization           | A bounded FIFO admits at most 32 active-plus-queued requests and sends one Program request at a time. Queue wait counts against the caller's deadline, and queued cancellation is prompt. This is an adapter safety commitment, not a claim that every Ghidra API is thread-safe.                                                          |
-| Function identity       | Every function result carries the entry address and Ghidra FunctionManager classification for external, thunk, and resolved thunk target. These are observations, not proof that unresolved targetless calls have been recovered.                                                                                                          |
-| Assembly and pseudocode | Assembly is bounded Ghidra Listing text; pseudocode is bounded Ghidra decompiler output. Neither is original source, and cross-provider comparison never treats Hopper and Ghidra text as equal or unequal semantic facts.                                                                                                                 |
-| Instruction fast path   | `read_function_instructions` returns one offset-paginated raw Listing window without invoking the decompiler or whole-program name/string inventories. It reports scan work, exact-or-unknown totals, truncation, and continuation metadata.                                                                                               |
-| Calls and references    | Callers/callees contain only resolved functions. Reference edges preserve exact ReferenceManager type and call/jump/data/read/write/indirect/computed/conditional/terminal/external facts. Targetless computed flow remains unknown. Synthetic entry-point references without actionable memory sources are omitted explicitly.            |
-| CFG                     | Dossiers use `BasicBlockModel` and retain only non-call successors inside the function body. CFG topology is address-normalized for comparison; provider-specific block construction remains a declared difference.                                                                                                                        |
-| Bounds                  | Direct assembly fails above 100,000 instructions or the wire ceiling. Dossiers scan at most 5,000 requested instructions, return bounded independent pages, mark unknown totals after an incomplete scan, and paginate pseudocode by Unicode code points.                                                                                  |

+| P-code value flow       | Function dossiers include up to 3,000 high-p-code operations, at most 64 inputs per operation, and 12,000 def-use edges. Results identify memory reads/writes, branches, and calls by p-code opcode, and mark decompiler-dead operations. Large results report truncation, an omitted-operation lower bound, and known omitted-input/edge counts. The dossier is an intra-function graph; `trace_native_values` composes derived parameter/argument and return/output dependencies across resolved calls. It does not resolve memory aliasing, call side effects, runtime behavior, persistent state, or business meaning. |

+
+Ten previous test cases were removed or consolidated; three replacement
+Vitest cases cover the captured goldens and release guard. The two real artifact
+E2E scripts add product-level evidence outside the deterministic Vitest count.
+
+## Exhaustive follow-up
+
+The follow-up removes or consolidates another 31 test declarations, including
+three redundant test files. Parameterized declarations and executed cases have
+different counts; the figures above count source declarations. It also repairs
+assertions that could pass without exercising their stated behavior.

+
+The removed long boundary selector test only parsed a 1,000-character request;
+workspace boundary identities admit at most 200 characters, so that positive
+could never represent a successful evaluation. The actual MCP evaluation stays
+covered. One unused ledger serialization helper was also retired after removing
+its only test consumer; no CLI or MCP contract changed.
+
+No further immediately safe pruning was identified in the final review. Retained
+replacement candidates below are coverage gaps, rather than permission to delete
+unique tests. Test-only domain scaffolding also stays pending a separate decision
+about the corresponding source behavior; deleting those tests alone would leave
+unverified code and fail unused-export checks.
+
+## Stronger replacements from the closing pass
+
+Three more synthetic success cases were removed. Native value composition now
+runs through the production CLI and a separate stdio MCP subprocess with real
+Ghidra, using a source-built native fixture. It checks argument/parameter/return
+relationships, the fixture's global operand, authenticated Evidence, upstream
+and workflow analysis profiles, identical CLI/MCP graphs, discovery availability
+and successful MCP session closure. Ambiguity, cancellation, target changes,
+missing flow and bounded-work regressions remain in the focused suite.
+
+That replacement found missing CLI workflow routing for `trace_native_values`
+and missing workflow profile classification. The routing and discovery now use
+the composed operation's actual provider prerequisites; workflow Evidence commits
+to the upstream Ghidra profile.
+
+The lone hand-built client-document equality test is replaced by a real TOML
+filesystem transaction: reversed environment keys leave the original bytes
+unchanged and create no backup. A real ZIP entry with an application root longer
+than 5,000 characters replaces injected schema-only positive data. Inventory
+completeness tests partition actual scans into authenticated partial observations
+and require exact assembled results and every source citation, including more
+than 100 citations. These are consumer merge tests, not provider pagination
+claims. Replay aggregation now covers all four statuses and retains actual runner
+diagnostics; it does not claim to execute a real sandbox. Retained pixel-metric
+fixtures now write correct PNG chunk checksums.
+
+The all-zero screenshot buffer is replaced by a real Chromium PNG of 9,467,940
+bytes, transported intact through CLI and stdio MCP and decoded by the production
+pixel comparator. The verifier configures the SDK client's receive buffer because
+its 10 MiB default is smaller than the inline JSON response. This does not claim
+large comparison-request transport coverage. A real SDK initialize request,
+captured during a successful production stdio handshake, replaces the JSON-RPC
+decoder's field-count-only oracle with exact field/value expectations.
+
+The closing pass also removed assertions tied to internal call order, defaults,
+private cache sizes, duplicated polling and fabricated schema extensions. Unique
+malformed-input, security-capacity and cleanup regressions remain.
+
+## Real process regression found
+
+The full suite exposed a renderer ordering race. Publishing a terminal output
+journal entry could synchronously trigger a reactive resize before the preceding
+output was queued for rendering. Queue that output first. The existing real
+source-owned interactive PTY test now also requires the first resized frame to
+contain the output that triggered the resize, preserving the original event
+order rather than sorting or changing timestamps to conceal it.
+
+## Coverage kept
+
+Malformed archives, broken and cyclic references, unsupported metadata pointers,
+relative Objective-C method layouts, ambiguous call candidates, digest mismatch,
+cancellation, permission approval, bounded output and owned-resource cleanup
+remain covered. These cases provide evidence beyond a successful real-tool run.
+The hand-assembled relative method fixture stays until compiler-produced
+relative-list fixtures establish equivalent assertions.
+
+## Remaining priorities
+
+1. Extend the real Ghidra CLI/stdio MCP journey from value tracing to dispatch
+   and UI handlers before pruning their hand-authored composition success cases.
+   Native value tracing now establishes full transport parity.
+2. Real binary dispatch and nib → full product transports, with normalized
+   semantic goldens. The compiler-backed readers already run in the new Apple
+   CI lane; synthetic pointer/layout rejection tests remain useful.
+3. An approved interactive macOS runner for native UI capture/actions, including
+   stdio MCP scenarios. Hosted runners without permissions cannot supply this
+   proof. No arbitrary application's windows should be opened for this lane.
+4. Real macOS/Linux Ghidra CI runners with bring-your-own installations. This
+   change adds Apple artifact CI without installing Java or Ghidra.
+5. Classify fake-runner replay/application acceptance accurately and replace
+   repeated happy paths only after real sandbox journeys assert the same claims.
+   The replay workflow's allow-unavailable mode must not imply executed replay.
+6. Replace repeated-array schema ceiling tests with real producer/transport
+   regressions before deleting them. Existing integration tests do not yet
+   establish their large-input guarantees.
+
+Some static guards protect irreversible release authority rather than product
+behavior. Keep these few guards explicit and separate from E2E evidence.

+# Testing REA
+
+Prefer evidence in this order: full end-to-end workflows with real production
+providers, integration tests across data/API boundaries, then golden regressions
+from real captured inputs. Keep focused module tests for distinct failure or
+semantic cases that these workflows cannot reliably reproduce. A test's path
+or suite name does not establish its behavioral depth.
+
+Tests are grouped into Vitest projects so ownership, allowed dependencies and
+runtime cost are visible from their paths. Before pruning a test, identify the
+replacement scenario and its assertions; passing success journeys do not
+replace malformed input, cancellation, permission or cleanup coverage.
+
+## Behavioral depths
+
+| Depth        | Location                | What it proves                                                                                        |
+| ------------ | ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Module       | `src/**/*.test.ts`      | One domain, service, or adapter through its narrow public surface                                     |
+| Composition  | `tests/composition/**`  | Provider-neutral session and registry wiring; filesystem access is limited to fixture materialization |
+| Boundary     | `tests/boundary/**`     | Exactly one production filesystem, process, network, browser, CLI, or provider boundary               |
+| MCP boundary | `tests/boundary/mcp/**` | MCP transport and tool-contract boundaries with isolated sessions and explicit cleanup                |
+| Acceptance   | `tests/acceptance/**`   | A compiled CLI or MCP journey; injected providers still make it integration                           |
+| Conformance  | `tests/conformance/**`  | Shared provider contracts, parameterized by declared capabilities and explicit opt-outs               |
+| Evaluation   | `tests/evaluation/**`   | Deterministic evaluator parsing, scoring, and report generation                                       |
+
+Colocated domain tests may import only their owning domain and inward
+dependencies. They do not construct sessions or servers and do not start
+subprocesses or network listeners. Colocated application tests exercise one
+service through explicit ports and recording adapters, never a CLI or MCP
+entrypoint. Composition tests may assemble provider-neutral sessions and
+registries but do not cross production filesystem, process, socket, or browser boundaries.
+Boundary tests cross one production boundary. Only acceptance tests assemble
+the complete runtime or invoke the compiled product surface.
+
+Focused immutable builders and recording ports shared by one test family live
+beside their production owner as `src/**/*.fixture.ts`. They are typechecked
+with the suite and excluded from package builds; broader runtime and provider
+fixtures remain under `tests/fixtures/**`.
+
+`tests/process-global/**` is reserved for cases with a demonstrated dependency
+on process-global state. Those tests run without file parallelism. Reusable,
+test-scoped fixtures live under `tests/support/**`; immutable source artifacts
+remain under `tests/fixtures/**`.
+The process-global Vitest configuration contract rejects new direct temporary-root
+creation outside the workspace seam and its narrowly documented boundary/package
+exceptions.
+
+Real Hopper, Ghidra, browser, package, managed-code, and controlled-replay
+claims belong to their explicit `npm run verify:*` lanes. They are not inferred
+from mocks or folded into the deterministic local gate. Real model trials are
+manual; Vitest covers only deterministic evaluator logic.
+
+## End-to-end, integration and golden evidence
+
+Full E2E tests invoke the production command dispatcher and real providers,
+without fake launchers, runners or responses. `verify:keyed-archive` writes an
+actual Foundation binary archive, runs the CLI and a separate stdio MCP
+subprocess, checks parity and pagination, rejects an escaping path and checks
+an XML graph golden. `verify:asset-catalog` compiles source-owned colors with
+`actool`, invokes real `assetutil`, then checks CLI/MCP results, exact catalog
+digest, every raw metadata field, pagination and malformed input rejection.
+Neither artifact workflow requires Hopper or launches it. Both run in macOS CI.
+
+MCP SDK transport tests with recording providers remain integration tests.
+They are useful for schema drift and failure projection but do not prove that
+Hopper, Ghidra or another substituted engine works. `verify:package` proves
+packaging/install behavior and fake-provider integration; use the corresponding
+real-provider lanes for engine claims. Real Apple dispatch and Interface
+Builder verifiers currently prove format integration through production readers.
+
+Golden tests use immutable captured text inputs with producer/source provenance
+under `tests/fixtures/golden/`. Expected results are reviewed for the semantic
+claim; capture commands do not automatically approve new expected outputs.
+Do not call handcrafted utility output or synthetic binary builders real-data
+goldens. Keep unsupported binary layouts and malformed boundaries as targeted
+regressions until a real fixture establishes equivalent coverage.
+
+`verify:browser` also captures a source-owned noise canvas as a real PNG above
+8 MiB through the CLI and stdio MCP, with complete byte/digest parity and real PNG
+decoding. Its SDK client explicitly permits the larger inline JSON response;
+this lane does not establish large image-comparison request transport coverage.
+
+The [test suite audit](test-suite-audit.md) records the pruning decisions,
+replacement evidence and remaining priorities.
+
+## Real-toolchain verification lanes
+
+Each real-toolchain command must require only the host tools needed to prove
+its stated claim. Use a host-native fixture for host/provider acceptance, and
+place optional cross-target formats or platform-specific runners in separate
+commands. Check prerequisites before starting expensive work and name the
+missing command, target, and lane in any failure message. A lane must not imply
+that a host or target is covered when it was skipped.
+
+| Ghidra lane                                | Supported runner/target                                                            | Additional local tools                                              |
+| ------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `npm run verify:ghidra`                    | Linux x64 ELF or macOS x64/arm64 Mach-O                                            | Host C compiler, Ghidra 12.1.4, and full JDK 21                     |
+| `npm run verify:ghidra:aarch64-jump-table` | Any supported Ghidra host; AArch64 ELF; byte/halfword tables; host ARM64 Mach-O    | Clang with AArch64 target support, Ghidra 12.1.4, and full JDK 21   |
+| `npm run verify:ghidra:cross-format`       | Any supported Ghidra host; also analyzes AArch64 ELF, x86-64 PE, and x86-64 Mach-O | `clang`, LLD, and `lld-link` in addition to host-lane prerequisites |
+| `npm run verify:ghidra:windows`            | Controlled Windows x64 with native x86-64 PE                                       | Ghidra 12.1.4, full JDK 21, and the Windows P0 fixture toolchain    |
+
+The host-native Ghidra lane also verifies native value tracing through the
+production CLI and a separate stdio MCP process. It compares complete dependency
+graphs, validates Evidence and upstream/workflow profiles, checks capability
+discovery, and closes the MCP session. No provider or transport is mocked.
+
+The cross-format Ghidra lane also analyzes an optimized AArch64 ELF switch
+fixture. It checks the recovered case values against the source cases and
+requires unresolved table bounds or case mappings to remain visible as
+residual unknowns.
+
+## Apple Interface Builder archives
+
+`npm run verify:interface-builder` compiles the source-owned AppKit XIB into a
+real `.nib` with Xcode `ibtool`, wraps it in a temporary app bundle, and checks
+the decoded view hierarchy, outlet, action, evidence coverage, and truncation
+status. Storyboard compilation additionally requires an installed iOS platform.
+
+Keep the provider-specific acceptance path independent from optional
+cross-compilers. Cross-format failures belong to the cross-format lane and must
+not make native host acceptance unavailable.
+
+## Developer commands
+
+`npm test` runs every deterministic project once. The narrower feedback loops
+are:
+
+| Command                   | Scope                                                                                                                  |

+| `npm run test:local`      | Changed and related tests without the build step; lightweight local feedback loop                                      |
+| `npm run test:boundary`   | Boundary, MCP boundary, and process-global projects                                                                    |
+| `npm run test:mcp`        | MCP boundary project only                                                                                              |
+| `npm run test:acceptance` | Complete CLI and MCP acceptance workflows                                                                              |
+| `npm run test:changed`    | Changed tests in non-serial projects via Vitest's import graph                                                         |
+| `npm run test:watch`      | Changed domain, service, adapter, composition, boundary, MCP boundary, conformance, and evaluation tests in watch mode |
+| `npm run test:watch:all`  | Changed tests from every deterministic project in watch mode                                                           |
+| `npm run check:changed`   | Cached static checks followed by changed tests                                                                         |
+| `npm run check:pr`        | Static, generated-document, and complete deterministic PR gate                                                         |
+
+Changed-test selection is a fast feedback aid, not release evidence. It can
+miss behavior connected through runtime registration, generated data, shell
+entrypoints, or other relationships that are absent from the import graph.
+Use `npm run check:pr` before handing off a contribution.
+
+Local full-suite Vitest runs use up to two workers and schedule projects one
+at a time. Process, acceptance and process-global projects serialize their
+files to prevent competing lifecycle observations. CI retains its two-worker
+budget.
+The pure domain/contracts and recording-port service projects share one worker
+module context because their tests own no mutable runtime resources. MCP
+boundary files also share the immutable server module graph while creating and
+closing independent in-memory sessions. Adapter, composition, acceptance,
+process-global, and other boundary projects retain per-file isolation.
+`npm test`, `npm run docs:check`, and `npm run docs:generate` share
+repository-local locks and fail fast when the same class of command is already
+running. The `npm test` build is inside that lock. `check:pr` runs its test task
+before starting documentation validation, so TypeDoc does not compete with the
+full suite for memory.
+
+Vitest and Node persistent compile caches are deliberately not enabled by
+default. To evaluate repeated local runs, opt in for both cold and warm
+measurements with an isolated cache:
+
+```bash
+NODE_COMPILE_CACHE=.cache/node-compile npm test

+
+## Coverage and timing
+
+CI owns coverage. The aggregate floors are 65% statements, 60% branches, 60%
+functions, and 68% lines. `src/domain/**` must reach 80% statements, 75%
+branches, 75% functions, and 80% lines. `src/contracts/**` must reach 85%
+statements, 80% branches, 80% functions, and 85% lines. Thresholds are
+glob-specific rather than per-file and are never updated automatically.
+Coverage does not replace named boundary, acceptance, or real-provider scenario
+matrices.
+
+CI runs four native Vitest shards without retries. Each shard emits a blob
+report; the merge job produces aggregate coverage plus JUnit and JSON timing
+reports, uploads them together, and writes the slowest files to the workflow
+summary. Static checks, documentation, build, package verification, and
+real-system lanes remain separate jobs so one kind of evidence cannot stand in
+for another.
+
+The PR acceptance target is a median `npm run check:pr` wall time below three
+minutes across three warm-build runs on the benchmark host. Keep Vitest caches
+cold unless separately identified. A PR that touches packaging or real-system
+behavior also requires `npm run verify:package` and the applicable
+`verify:*` lanes.
+
+## Apple native metadata and UI
+
+`npm run verify:apple-dispatch` compiles Objective-C class/protocol and Swift
+conformance/vtable fixtures, inspects their bytes and repeats after stripping
+local symbols. It requires macOS and the host Xcode toolchain; targets are not
+executed. `npm run verify:native-ui` launches exactly one source-owned fixture
+window and requires successful selected-window capture and approved actions.
+Permission denial fails the positive lane. `npm run verify:native-ui:permissions`
+allows a permission-boundary-only result and explicitly reports
+`positive_e2e: false`; it must not be reported as capture/action proof.
+Both commands reject a changed executable digest and clean up the fixture
+process and helper. These lanes require an interactive macOS desktop. See [native investigation](native-investigation.md)
+for the exact ABI, authority, graph and observation boundaries.

+# MCP tool design
+
+Design tools around analyst tasks. A provider API is an implementation detail;
+expose it directly when it gives agents a useful, reusable capability that
+cannot be expressed through an existing contract. Do not impose caller-facing
+limits merely to make work fit an assumed agent budget. Keep real input-format,
+protocol, authority, and resource-safety constraints, and report their effects.
+
+## Choose the tool shape
+
+| Shape                            | Use it for                                                           | Contract should return                                                                                         |
+| -------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `inspect`                        | Facts about one explicit target, address, object, or resource        | Relevant fields, source locations, and facet-level availability                                                |
+| `search` / `list`                | Finding candidate targets or entities                                | Stable ordering and useful result context; expose pagination when the result format or caller's query needs it |
+| `trace`                          | Relationships across code, metadata, UI resources, or observations   | Typed edges, supporting evidence, and unresolved paths; identify any genuine traversal boundary                |
+| `compare`                        | Two explicitly identified artifacts, versions, or evidence sets      | Paired identity, comparable coverage, and deltas with evidence                                                 |
+| `workflow`                       | A distinct analyst outcome that benefits from composition inside REA | A useful inline result, contributing evidence, and partial/unavailable facets                                  |
+| `observe` / `capture` / `replay` | A question that requires runtime behavior                            | Required authority, launch/attach behavior, real operational constraints, lifecycle, and cleanup status        |
+
+These are task shapes, not required prefixes. Name a tool for the action and
+object agents reason about; keep the name distinct from nearby alternatives.
+
+## Prefer primitives; compose workflows
+
+Start with a primitive when one call can report a reusable fact about one
+identified object or relationship, such as an instruction decode, a type
+layout, a reference, a dispatch target, or a resource graph. The same primitive
+should be useful across different applications or analyst questions. A
+format-specific decoder can still be a primitive when it describes a reusable
+format rather than one application's product behavior.
+
+Add a workflow when repeated analysis shows that callers need the same
+multi-source result and REA can join the evidence without hiding important
+choices or uncertainty. A useful check is whether the workflow remains
+meaningful for different applications that share the relevant evidence types.
+If its purpose depends on one application's business rules or product concepts,
+keep that interpretation outside the general tool contract and expose the
+underlying evidence through reusable primitives.
+
+## Decide whether to add a tool
+
+1. State the user intent and the smallest result that answers it.
+2. Inspect the canonical tool contracts, current provider capabilities, and
+   representative CLI/MCP traces. Record the nearest competing tool.
+3. Extend an existing contract when the intent and result are the same. Add a
+   batch or composed workflow when it materially improves a demonstrated task;
+   do not force agents through extra calls or collapse distinct tasks into one
+   tool. Add a tool when it answers a distinct analyst question or has a
+   materially different authority or result contract.
+4. Keep public tool names and result semantics provider-neutral. Put engine-
+   specific parsing and protocol handling in adapters. Advertise exact support
+   per provider; do not create parallel tools just because engines differ.
+5. Keep prompts optional and concise. They may point out useful tools, but must
+   not prescribe a call sequence when the task can be answered directly.
+
+Avoid opaque mode flags and mega-tools that combine unrelated discovery,
+execution, and mutation. Prefer a useful direct tool call over a tool sequence
+or model-authored loop when one call can answer the question.
+
+## Define the contract
+
+- Use strict object inputs with explicit required fields and enums. Add numeric
+  bounds only when the format, protocol, authority, or a measured resource
+  constraint requires them.
+- Return complete results by default. Make real pagination, truncation, partial
+  failure, cancellation, and unavailable states explicit. Missing evidence is
+  unknown, not empty or false.
+- Return task-oriented results inline with artifact identity, provider/version,
+  addresses or resource paths, Evidence references, confidence, and relevant
+  limitations. Do not require agents to fetch a resource or dereference an
+  opaque Evidence link to understand a tool result.
+- Separate observed facts from derived and inferred edges. Cite the evidence
+  supporting every important relationship; preserve unresolved edges.
+- Declare read-only, mutation, process, filesystem, network, and UI effects
+  truthfully in the contract and permission boundary.
+- Keep provider-specific types out of provider-neutral domain and application
+  layers. Normalize supported provider results without implying equal coverage.
+
+## Implement and evaluate
+
+- Put shared user workflows in the application layer; keep MCP translation in
+  the server adapter and CLI behavior aligned with the same workflow.
+- Update the canonical contract inventory, output schemas, examples, generated
+  catalog, and relevant docs together.
+- Verify valid, malformed, boundary, unavailable, cancellation, and partial
+  results at the owning boundaries. Use real-provider checks for claims that
+  depend on external analysis engines.
+- Evaluate representative broad and direct task prompts on the intended MCP
+  host when tool selection is the question. Record the host, model-facing tool
+  catalog, selected tool, arguments, errors, retries, and task outcome.
+  Schema validity or word-overlap heuristics do not prove discoverability.
+
+See [mcp-contracts.md](mcp-contracts.md) for shipped runtime behavior and
+[testing.md](testing.md) for test boundaries and verification lanes.
