In order:\n\n1. **A dev server was already running?** Restart it, then hard-reload the tab. \"Something is listening\" does not mean the right bundle is served.\n2. **Nothing was running?** Start it in the BACKGROUND and say so in one line. `reticle_session { action: \"list\" }` gives you this project's own dev command in `next_action`; use that, never compose one. Started after `init`, it needs no restart.\n\nStopping to ask is how a verification turn ends with nothing verified.\n\nFour guards, none optional:\n\n1. **Never run two at once.** One dev server on the app's port. Restarting a stale one means stopping it first, not starting a second alongside it.\n2. **Never guess the command.** It comes from `package.json` scripts. No recognisable dev script means say so and stop, not invent one.\n3. **Never kill anything you did not start**, and never a daemon or a port holder. The one exception is the restart above, and say in one line that you did it.\n4. **The permission prompt belongs to your host.** Never bypass, suppress or auto-approve it, and take a refusal as the answer.\n\n2. **Is a page open on it?** Do not ask the user to open a browser \u2014 open it:\n\n   ```bash\n   npx @reticlehq/server open <the url the dev server is serving>\n   ```\n\n   That reuses an already-connected tab or opens a new one, and waits for the page to register. It is\n   also the answer on a machine with no browser of its own (CI, a container, an SSH session): the CLI\n   is the one escape hatch that exists on every tool surface, because it is not a tool.\n\nThen, once something is serving the app and a page is on it:\n\n3. **Is the SDK actually in the app?** Read the app's entry file (`src/main.tsx`, `app/layout.tsx`,\n   `src/app.vue`, whatever this project uses). You are looking for an `import` from\n   `@reticlehq/react` or `@reticlehq/browser` and a `connect()` call, or the Reticle plugin in\n   `vite.config.*`, or `withReticle` in `next.config.*`. **If it is not there, that is the bug.**\n   Wire it in \u2014 see the framework snippets at https://docs.reticle.sh/instrumentation \u2014 then restart\n   the dev server and re-check.\n4. **Is the connect guarded on `hostname === 'localhost'`?** If so, remove that guard. It is false on\n   any non-localhost dev host, and `window` does not exist during SSR, so the guard silently prevents\n   the connect and logs nothing. Use the framework's dev flag instead (`import.meta.env.DEV`,\n   `process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production'`, `import.meta.dev`).\n5. **Is the dev server serving that entry?** Look in `reticle_observe { action: \"console\" }`, or in the page you opened in\n   step 2, for a line starting `[Reticle]`. That line, or its absence, tells you which side is at\n   fault. Reticle itself never starts a dev server \u2014 starting it is your job, under the guards above.\n6. **Do both sides agree on the port?** Run `npx @reticlehq/server doctor` and compare the daemon\n   port against the port the page dials.\n\nIf you are still stuck after all of those, file it: `reticle_session { action: \"feedback\" }` with kind `gap`, saying what you\nchecked and what you saw. Then tell the user exactly which step is blocked. Do not report the install\nas finished.\n\n## Pick ONE flow\n\nNot the whole app. Pick the single most important flow you can complete in a handful of steps \u2014 the\none a user would do first (sign in, search, add to cart, submit the form). If the user named a flow or\njust changed some code, use that one instead.\n\nState which flow you picked in one line before you start.\n\n## Drive it where the human can see\n\n1. `reticle_look { action: \"page\" }` \u2014 read the accessibility tree and locate the elements the flow needs. Elements\n   are addressable by role and name; you do **not** need `data-testid` to drive them.\n2. Walk the flow with `reticle_act_and_wait`, one step at a time. Narrate each step first \u2014 the human\n   is watching the page, and the HUD shows what you say.\n3. After each step, check the effect with `reticle_assert` \u2014 not just that the click dispatched, but\n   that the thing it was supposed to do actually happened.\n4. Finish with `reticle_observe { action: \"console\" }` and `reticle_observe { action: \"network\" }` to catch errors the DOM does not show.\n\n**Only `reticle_act_and_wait`, `reticle_assert`, `reticle_act { steps }` with an `expect`, and `reticle_verify` produce a verdict.** A run that ends on a\nsnapshot has proved nothing, however many tools it used.\n\n## Report\n\n- What you drove, step by step, and what each step actually produced.\n- Anything broken, with the `file:line` Reticle gave you.\n- If a step could not be verified, say so plainly. \"Unknown\" is a real answer; a green verdict you\n  cannot back is not.\n\nDo not weaken or skip an assertion to make the run pass \u2014 that is a finding, not a fix.\n\n## If the user handed you a license key\n\nAppend `RETICLE_LICENSE_KEY=<key>` to the project's `.env` (create it if absent), make sure `.env`\nis in `.gitignore`, and confirm with `npx @reticlehq/server license`.
