+### `ui-review`
+
+`ui-review` adds UI/UX verification to the review surface. It runs the usual diff-based review AND drives the running preview deployment via the Playwright CLI — writing a throwaway spec under `.kody2/ui-review/`, running it, capturing screenshots, and folding the observed behavior into the review verdict.
+
+- Preview URL resolution: `--preview-url` flag → `$PREVIEW_URL` → `http://localhost:3000`.
+- Credentials: committed in `.kody2/qa-guide.md` (scaffolded by `kody2 init` when a UI is detected, with `CHANGE_ME` placeholders). The agent reads the guide and uses any credentials it finds.
+- Auto-discovery: routes, roles, login page, admin path, Payload CMS collections, API routes, env vars — fed to the agent so it knows *what* to browse without you spelling it out.
+- Falls back to a diff-only review when the preview URL is unreachable.
+
 `kody2 chat` reads `.kody/sessions/<id>.jsonl`, runs one agent turn, appends
 the reply, and writes `chat.message` + `chat.done` events to
 `.kody/events/<id>.jsonl` (plus optional HTTP push to a dashboard ingest URL).
