+| `fringe verify [--handoff file] [--json]` | **Proof it was done.** Re-checks everything the hand-off covered and reports `complete` / `partial` / `regressed`: errors fixed, remaining, introduced, and how many findings were silenced with `fringe-ignore` since. Exit `0` only when `complete` (`fringe/verify.v1`). |
 | `fringe plan [dir\|file] [--scan url] [--json] [--limit n]` | **Fix order for a repo with many findings**: P0 (errors in shared components or critical paths) → P1 (other errors, mechanical first) → P2 review → P3 polish, each cluster with its fix recipe. Never gates (exit 0). `--scan <url>` adds the live page's runtime findings to the same plan (one cluster per axe rule, with element selectors). `--json` = `fringe/plan.v1`. |

 Each mode runs on a fresh page so one mode's emulation never leaks into the next, and only findings the plain page did not already have are kept. Findings are labelled `[dark mode]`, `[reduced motion]`, `[reflow]`. Modes apply to the initial page, not to named states.
 
+### Pages behind a login, screenshots, and a baseline for scan findings
+
+- **Login:** save a browser session once, then point the scan at it: `npx playwright-core codegen --save-storage=auth.json http://localhost:3000` (log in by hand in the window that opens, then close it). Use it with `--storage-state auth.json`, or put `"storageState": "auth.json"` at the top of `fringe.scan.json` (relative to that file). Keep the file out of git: it contains session cookies.
+- **Screenshots:** `--screenshots shots/` saves a full-page PNG of the initial page, each named state and each stress mode, so a reviewer can see what was audited.
+- **Baseline:** `scan --update-baseline` writes `fringe.scan.baseline.json` (commit it); later scans hide those known findings and report `N baselined`. Matching is by rule, page/state and element, not axe's wording, so a contrast ratio that shifts slightly stays known.
+
 Limits, plainly: states are independent (each starts from a fresh load of the URL, so there are no multi-page flows that depend on earlier state beyond `goto`); it needs the page running; findings have no source line (they carry a CSS selector); automated checks only find part of the real problems. `fringe plan --scan <url>` merges it with the static findings into one fix order. It does not feed the baseline or `fringe-ignore` yet, and is not part of the edit hook (it needs a running app and takes seconds).
 
+## Agent hand-off
+
+For agent-to-agent or CI-to-agent work with no human in the middle: one agent (or a CI job) finds problems, another fixes them, and a check proves it.
+
+```sh
+fringe handoff --scan http://localhost:3000 > prompt.md    # the work order; also saved as .fringe/handoff.json
+claude -p "$(cat prompt.md)"                               # or any agent that takes a prompt
+fringe verify                                              # exit 0 only when complete; --json for the orchestrator
+```
+
+The prompt carries the rules (fix the cause, never silence a rule to get green, list any `fringe-ignore` you add, stop and report anything that needs a human decision), the definition of done, and the ordered plan with fix recipes. `verify` compares with the hand-off's fingerprints, so it can tell an error that was *fixed* from one that was *introduced*, and it reports new suppressions for a human to review. Tested end to end: a fresh agent given only the prompt fixed all 122 errors of a messy app, `verify` returned `complete` with 0 introduced and 0 silenced.
+
+## Using Fringe with other coding agents
+
+| Layer | Works with | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Rules file** (`init --for …`) | Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Cline, Kiro, Amp, Jules, Zed, anything reading `AGENTS.md` | The agent is told to run `fringe check` after edits and fix errors. It depends on the model following instructions. |
+| **Git pre-commit gate** (`init --git`) | Any agent that runs `git commit` | The hook output goes to the agent's terminal. Fails open. |
+| **CLI, `plan`, `handoff`/`verify`, CI** | Everything | Plain commands, exit codes and JSON. |
+| **Live post-edit hook** | Claude Code | Verified. Other hosts have their own hook contracts, which must each be tested against the real tool before we claim support. |
+
+Verified so far: Claude Code (hook and skills); Codex CLI (read `AGENTS.md` and tried to run the check; its sandbox crashed `npx` with a keychain error, so there use `npm i -D @fringetools/cli`). Gemini CLI could not be tested here (no output headlessly), so `GEMINI.md` is written but unverified.
+
 ## Priority, clusters and fix plans
 
 Every finding in `--json` carries `priority`, `cluster` and `fixability`, and the result has a `clusters` list. A cluster is one rule in one file: usually one root cause and one fix.

+# Fringe: handle your edges
+
+For any coding agent that reads a rules file. Fringe is a static checker for frontends: it measures accessibility, interaction states, dark patterns and the generic "AI look", and exits non-zero on hard failures.
+
+Run it from the project root: `npx -y @fringetools/cli check` (or `fringe check` if installed). It takes a directory, not a single file.
+
+## While you work
+
+1. **Flow.** Before building UI, ask what the user can skip. Cut steps, screens and options nobody needs, and say why with evidence (a metric, a usage count, a requirement). No evidence, no cut.
+2. **Edges.** After every edit to a frontend file, run `fringe check`. Fix every `[ERROR]` before you finish: missing `alt`, unnamed buttons, unlabeled inputs, skipped headings, removed focus rings, `onClick` on non-interactive elements, invalid `aria-*`. Do not finish with errors outstanding.
+   Many findings? `fringe plan` orders them (shared components first) with a fix recipe each; `fringe explain FR-203` shows why a rule matters and the preferred fix.
+3. **Polish.** Fix `[REVIEW]` items you agree with and cheap `[SIGNAL]` items; say which you left and why.
+
+## Rules
+
+- Never silence a rule to get green. A `// fringe-ignore FR-123` comment is for a real false positive only; say so in your final message with the rule and the reason. Every run prints `N suppressed`.
+- On a repo that already has problems, do not fix everything first: `fringe check --update-baseline` records today's findings so only new ones gate (commit `fringe.baseline.json`).
+- If `npx` cannot run here (a sandbox with no network), ask the user to run `npm i -D @fringetools/cli` once, then use `npx --no-install fringe check`. If Fringe still cannot run, say so. Do not skip the check silently.
+- Report the health score as measured; never estimate it.
+
+Works alongside Ponytail: Ponytail keeps the code small and promises never to cut accessibility; Fringe is the check that verifies that promise.

 1. Run `fringe plan --json --limit 5` (or `fringe plan` for Markdown). It already orders the work: P0 errors in shared components or critical paths, P1 other errors with mechanical fixes first, P2 review, P3 polish, each cluster with its recipe. Use that order; do not re-derive it. Add `"critical": ["src/checkout/**"]` to `fringe.config.json` if the user names the pages that matter most. Do not print every finding.
 2. Summarize as a plan:

 Fringe has two ways to defer a finding: an inline `fringe-ignore` comment and the `fringe.baseline.json` file. This lists both so a deferral can't quietly become permanent.

 1. **Inline suppressions.** `git grep --no-index --exclude-standard -nE 'fringe-ignore +FR-[0-9]+'`. One row per hit: `<file>:<line>, <rule> — <why, if the comment or nearby code says>`. Skip hits that are only prose mentioning the convention.
 2. **Baseline.** If `fringe.baseline.json` exists, count entries per rule (each entry is `rule|file|message`) and list the files with the most. If it is missing, say there is no baseline.
