 - Ensure the target frame exists. If it is net-new, scaffold a minimal stub file first
   (`design/scenes/<scene>/<name>.tsx` with a default export) so the frame appears immediately,
   then fill it in. Save incrementally - the human watches it build.
+- When the ask means SEVERAL new frames ("one frame per page", "a screen for each state"),
+  create ALL of them as stubs up front, then flesh each out - so the whole set shows at once.
+- The working glow follows you automatically: the frame the comment sits on lights up the
+  moment you start, and as you create or edit frame files the glow MOVES to those - and off
+  the commented frame once you are clearly building elsewhere. You do not manage it; just
+  write the frame files and the canvas tracks where the work actually is.
 - Stay camera-safe: append to the current board; never switch boards or run tidy/device-preset
   reflows mid-job (they yank the human's view).
 
+## Verify the render - look at what you built
+
+Source that reads right can still render blank (a runtime throw, a missing import, a
+theme token that only fails live). Before you reply "done", LOOK at the frame. You have no
+shell and cannot reach localhost, so the way to ask for a screenshot is to WRITE a request
+file - the dev server renders it and writes the PNG back:
+
+1. **Drop a request.** Write `design/.local/shots/<frame-slug>.request.json` where
+   `<frame-slug>` is the frame id with each `/` turned into `--`. Content:
+   `{"frame":"<scene/frame>","theme":"<theme>"}` (theme `light` or `dark`).
+   Example, for `checkout/cart`: write `design/.local/shots/checkout--cart.request.json`
+   with `{"frame":"checkout/cart","theme":"light"}`.
+2. **Read the result.** Within a second or two the server writes
+   `design/.local/shots/<frame-slug>.result.json`: `{"ok":true,"path":"..."}` or
+   `{"ok":false,"error":"..."}`. If it is not there on the first Read, it is still
+   rendering - Read it once more.
+3. **Read the PNG** at that `path` and check it with your own eyes: content present, both
+   themes if you touched theming, nothing clipped. Fix and re-shoot; files overwrite in place.
+
+The `result.json` is the universal signal - it works even when you cannot see images.
+`"ok":false` means the frame did not render: the `error` carries the reason (a runtime
+throw shows the frame's own exception, "the frame rendered an error - ..."; an unreachable
+dev server or missing Chrome says so). So a crashed or blank frame is caught by the JSON
+alone. `"ok":true` means it painted - and THEN the PNG tells you whether it painted *well*.
+
+(If you DO have a shell - `npx marver shot <scene/frame> [--theme dark]` is the same thing
+in one line, printing the PNG path.)
+
+Verification is best-effort, not a gate. If your model cannot read images, or the result
+reports no Chrome on the machine, still act on `ok`/`error` - and say plainly in your reply
+that you confirmed it rendered but did not eyeball it. Never claim to have looked when you
+did not.

 ## Reading comments without the daemon
 `npx marver comments list [<board>]` prints the threads on demand - use it to catch up or answer
 a one-off question without the live jam loop.
+
+## When jam misbehaves - diagnose, fix, report upstream
+
+You are the one debugging this, so here is the drill, in order:
+
+1. **The boot line first.** `marver dev` prints `jam: on (<agent>)` when armed, and the
+   exact reason when not (no CLI on PATH, a named agent it cannot spawn, `jam: false`, a
+   config that failed to parse). Fix what it names.
+2. **The raw run log.** Every job's full agent output lands in
+   `design/.local/jam-logs/<batchId>.log` (last 10 kept). A job that "did nothing" or got
+   the give-up reply almost always explains itself there - an auth error, a permission
+   refusal, an empty stream.
+3. **Auth is the usual culprit.** Prove the CLI works headless on its own, outside marver:
+   `claude -p "say ok"` / `codex exec "say ok"` / `cursor-agent -p "say ok"` /
+   `droid exec "say ok"` / `opencode run "say ok"` / `grok -p "say ok"` / `pi -p "say ok"`.
+   If that fails, the fix is the CLI's own login (or its API key env var), not marver.
+4. **The journal.** `design/.local/jam-jobs.json` is the daemon's memory. A mention posted
+   while the server was down on the first boot after an upgrade may have been baselined as
+   seen - re-comment to pick it up. Never hand-edit the ledger; it is the trust boundary.
+
+**Fix what is yours, report what is marver's.** Wrong `jam.agent`, a logged-out CLI, a
+stale config - fix those in place and tell the human what you changed. But if the drill
+shows marver itself misbehaving - a reply parsed wrong, a job that never spawned, a crash
+in the daemon - file it upstream so the next repo does not hit it. The rules of the road
+are in design/AGENTS.md under "Upstream feedback" (search for an existing issue first;
+privacy is hard law - the issue is public, so never paste the owner's comment text, code,
+or anything identifying; tell the owner what you filed). What a JAM report needs on top:
+
+- marver version, agent CLI name + version, and the `jam:` boot line
+- the CLI's own error lines from the jam-log, in neutral terms - the tool's words, never
+  the design's content
+- what you expected against what happened, and - if you found the fix while debugging -
+  the patch itself, as a diff in the issue body
+
+That last part matters: you are the debugger on the scene, and an issue that arrives with
+its own fix is how the tool improves for every repo after this one.
