+Conformance test kit for the GGUI protocol. Ships JSON case catalogs + runners that drive them against a live implementation — the behavioral fixtures over WebSocket, the `resources/read` cases over the MCP binding — and report scorecard-style pass / fail / skip output.
 
 This kit is the protocol's conformance surface: it lets a third-party MCP builder prove their implementation is protocol-conformant without reimplementing the test harness.

 3. **Session-state host read-back** — stateful obligations with no wire response (e.g. `host_context_observed` persisting onto `GguiSession.hostContext`): the runner dispatches the C→S frame, waits out the observation window, then reads the GguiSession field back through `ConformanceHost.readSessionField()` and deep-equals it against the fixture's `expected`. No host (or a host without the method, or a read that throws) → the fixture SKIPS with the reason — a host that cannot read state cannot grade it, and the kit never converts that gap into a pass.
 4. **MCP-binding scenario driver** — request/response obligations on the MCP surface, where the deployment shape is part of what is under test. The `resources/read` catalog is the first: a case declares a server shape, a caller identity and a seed set, the adopter's driver brings a server up that way, and the kit reads locators against it and grades the raw JSON-RPC frames. A driver that cannot express a scenario throws, and the case SKIPS — never passes.
 
+**Obligation strength.** A fixture grades a MUST unless it declares `"level": "should"`. An unmet MUST is a failure. An unmet SHOULD is a **warning**: it lands in `result.warned` with the same evidence a failure carries, is printed as `WARN`, and never fails a run. A skip stays a skip at either level.
+
 A fifth surface — the **Path-B browser-host driver** for DOM-level claims (`bootstrap-failure`, `props-update`) — is honestly absent: it is not yet packaged, and those fixtures skip wherever the kit runs (see below).
 
 ## Transport
 
-**The behavioral fixture catalog is WebSocket-only.** The canonical ggui live-channel transport is WS (see SPEC §12 Transport Bindings). `TransportConfig` is shaped as an extensibly-closed union so later live-channel transports (HTTP long-poll) can be added without breaking the public API.

 The MCP surface is graded separately, by catalog rather than by transport config — see `resource-read-conformance` below. Its cases are deliberately NOT registered in `fixturesByContract`: everything in that map is driven over a WebSocket, so an MCP case there would be a permanent skip on every WS run, which is the false gate the kit's exact skip-set pinning exists to prevent. `resources/read` and — since ggui#880 — one `tools/call` catalog (`domain-error`, SPEC §7.9 Plane 2) are the MCP methods bound today.

 The catalog exists for one receipt: before the slug led the text, every first-party server failed every case on `slug-leads` (executed, ggui#880). `src/cli-samples/tool-call-driver.mjs` is a spec-correct sample of what the flag imports.
 
+## Dispatch-idempotency conformance — a retried dispatch is one gesture (SPEC §11.1, ggui#1519)
+
+A host or relay that could not confirm a `ggui_runtime_submit_action` dispatch may retry it. The server treats a repeat of an earlier committed `(sessionId, actionId)` as the same gesture: one pending event for `ggui_consume` and one `user.submitted` row in the ledger `ggui_runtime_pull` serves, even with both requests in flight at once. An `actionId` reused for a different gesture keeps the first. Three cases: `sequential-retry-is-one-gesture`, `concurrent-retry-is-one-gesture`, `reused-id-keeps-the-first-gesture`. Each has a control: the SAME gesture under a distinct `actionId` is a second gesture, so a server that dedupes by content rather than by id fails it. The cases share their ids, each in a fresh session, so a server that dedupes ids across sessions fails from the second case on. A driver that throws, or a read that answers `isError`, is named on that case, and the run goes on.
+
+**SHOULD level this release:** a case that does not hold is reported `warned`, never `failed`. §11.1 makes the promise a MUST in the next release, and the catalog moves every case to `failed` with it.
+
+The adopter supplies the same `ToolCallDriver` the domain-error catalog takes, plus an `openSession()` seam: a fresh session that declares `DISPATCH_IDEMPOTENCY_ACTION_SPEC` and has a pending-event pipe, with a `close()` the kit calls after each case. Nothing on the wire mints such a session without generation, which is why it is a host seam. It is also why the CLI does not run this catalog: bind it in your own test, as `@ggui-ai/mcp-server`'s `dispatch-idempotency.conformance.test.ts` does. A host with no seam, or without the three tools, is SKIPPED with the reason named.
+
+**What the reuse case grades, and what it cannot yet:** it grades that the first gesture stands. It cannot tell a server that detects the reuse from one that dedupes by id alone, because both keep the first. The difference is visible only in the server's own log until `ACTION_ID_REUSED` is emitted, from the next release.
+
+**Not graded by the kit:** §11.1's spend clauses (a repeat, or a reused id, does not use up a one-shot action a second time). They are visible only inside the server; `@ggui-ai/mcp-server-handlers`' own tests grade them for the first-party server.
+
 ## Conformance status
 
 What is actually graded against shipping code today, and what is still awaiting a driver. This is an inventory, not a roadmap — a mechanism is listed as proven only if a test in the repo drives it against the real implementation on every push.
 
-Every test below is a plain `*.test.ts` inside a package's `src/`, so it runs in that package's ordinary vitest suite. The ggui repo's per-push CI runs `turbo run test` across all non-e2e packages, so **all thirteen rows below are gated on every push** — the kit needs no dedicated workflow, and adopters wiring it into their own CI need nothing more than their existing unit-test task.

-Both WS drivers pin their pass set _and_ their skip set as exact sets, and the resource-read driver pins its skip set as exactly empty. A fixture silently degrading to a skip fails the build, and so does a skipped fixture that quietly starts passing — a skip set that can grow unnoticed is a false gate, and re-pinning it is meant to be a deliberate act.
+Every test below is a plain `*.test.ts` inside a package's `src/`, so it runs in that package's ordinary vitest suite. The GGUI repo's per-push CI runs `turbo run test` across all non-e2e packages, so **all fourteen rows below are gated on every push** — the kit needs no dedicated workflow, and adopters wiring it into their own CI need nothing more than their existing unit-test task.

+Both WS drivers pin their pass set, their skip set _and_ their warned set as exact sets, and the resource-read driver pins its skip set as exactly empty. A fixture silently degrading to a skip fails the build, and so does a skipped fixture that quietly starts passing — a skip set that can grow unnoticed is a false gate, and re-pinning it is meant to be a deliberate act.
 
 **Awaiting a driver:**
 
 - **Path-B browser-host fixtures** — `bootstrap-bundle-fetch-failed`, `bootstrap-meta-missing` (both need MCP-Apps-host fault injection) and `props-update-roundtrip` (assertion is on rendered DOM). No browser-host adapter ships with the kit, so these skip on every WS driver above. Honestly absent, not silently passing.
 - **`version-mismatch` on the first-party server** — needs a `server-version-override` seam the channel deliberately does not expose; adding a production seam with no production caller purely to drive a fixture was rejected. It passes on the reference server, which has a per-render override.
 - **The `ggui_consume` retrieval half of the action loop, and `stream-delivery-roundtrip`** — both are `tools/call` obligations (`ggui_consume`, `ggui_emit`). The resource-read driver binds `resources/read` only, so neither is closed by it; both await a tool-call driver.
+- **The client side of SPEC §12.2.1 invariant 3** — after a fresh ack a client applies every frame, including those at `seq ≤ streamSeq`, and dedupes against the highest `seq` it applied, never against `streamSeq`. The kit has no driver for a live-channel _client_ (the runner is the client here, and the host-helper kit grades MCP Apps host helpers, not a view's channel), so this obligation is ungraded.
 - **`resources/read` on a second implementation** — the catalog is vendor-neutral by construction (the kit imports no server; the adopter supplies the driver), but it is graded against one implementation today. A second binding is what would ground the vendor-neutrality claim empirically, the way `protocol-reference-server` does for the WS catalog.

+The CLI exits `0` only when at least one fixture executed and none failed; `1` on any fixture failure; `2` on invocation errors **or** when every fixture skipped (a zero-executed run never reads as success in CI). A warning never changes the exit code, and a warned fixture counts as executed.
 
 The three pure-function catalogs (`refusal-envelope`, `registry-completeness`, `transport-refusal`) grade an in-process function and a data table, not the wire, so a URL alone cannot reach them. The CLI hands them their inputs by flag — `--registry <file.json>` (the deployment's refusal registry, a JSON object keyed by code), `--projector <module>` (an ES module whose `project(refusal)` — named or default export — returns the SPEC §7.1 tool result, or `null` for a code with no render envelope) and `--transport-projector <module>` (same shape, returning the endpoint's `{ httpStatus, error }` or `null`). A flag left out leaves its catalog on the scorecard as SKIPPED with the flag named. Catalog rows count as executed fixtures, so a run given a catalog flag can exit 0 while every wire fixture is SKIPPED — read the scorecard for the wire signal. Minimal spec-correct samples of each input live in the repository at [`src/cli-samples/`](https://github.com/ggui-ai/ggui/tree/main/packages/protocol-conformance/src/cli-samples) (not in the npm tarball); the test suite pins that they pass their catalogs.

+ * gesture" (ggui#1519), graded on the `tools/call` wire.
+ *
+ * A host or relay that could not confirm a `ggui_runtime_submit_action`
+ * dispatch may retry it. The server treats a repeat of an earlier committed
+ * `(sessionId, actionId)` as the same gesture: one pending event for the
+ * agent's `ggui_consume`, one `user.submitted` row in the ledger that
+ * `ggui_runtime_pull` serves, even when both requests are in flight at once.
+ * An `actionId` reused for a DIFFERENT gesture keeps the first.
+ *
+ * SHOULD LEVEL THIS RELEASE. §11.1 states the promise as a SHOULD and makes
+ * it a MUST in the next release, so a case that does not hold is reported
+ * `warned`, never `failed`. The next release moves every case to `failed`.
+ *
+ * Vendor-neutral by construction: the kit imports no server. The adopter
+ * supplies a {@link ToolCallDriver} (the same one the `domain-error` catalog
+ * takes) and a {@link DispatchIdempotencyHost.openSession} seam that opens a
+ * live session declaring the kit's action, with a pending-event pipe, and
+ * later closes it. Nothing on the wire mints such a session without
+ * generation, which is why it is a host seam. A host that supplies no seam,
+ * or binds none of the three tools, is SKIPPED with the reason named.
+ *
+ * What the cases are built to catch, beyond "no dedupe at all": the control
+ * repeats the SAME gesture under a new id, so a server that dedupes by content
+ * rather than by id loses it; the ids repeat across cases, each in a fresh
+ * session, so a server that dedupes by id across sessions loses the later
+ * cases' first gesture; and the concurrent case puts both requests in flight
+ * at once, so a check-then-write dedupe lets both through. A driver that
+ * throws, or a read that answers `isError`, is named on its case rather than
+ * read as an empty pipe.
+ *
+ * Not graded here: whether a repeat re-spends a one-shot action. That clause
