+### Table Behavior Discovery
+Available in **nex 5.5.0**, using core **6.4.1**. Use `nex schema` for table structure and `nex behavior` for configuration that can affect records. Both behavior commands are read-only.
+```bash
+nex behavior --table change_request --auth dev --read-only --json
+```
+| Category | Functional context |
+| --- | --- |
+| `business_rules` | Operation flags, before/after/async timing, order, conditions and script availability |
+| `ui_actions` | Form/list/workspace placement, roles, visibility conditions and scripts |
+| `client_scripts` | Client events, target fields, views and inherited applicability |
+| `ui_policies` | Conditions and mandatory, visible or read-only field actions |
+| `data_policies` | Server field requirements and enforcement settings |
+| `workflows` | Legacy workflow versions, start conditions, activities and transitions |
+| `flows` | Record triggers, conditions and optional current flow definitions |
+| `state_models` | State fields, transition gates and required fields in supported generic layouts |
+Defaults include active configuration and applicable ancestors, all eight categories, 50 items per category and a 64 KiB JSON response budget. Conditions and declarative field actions are included in summaries; script bodies and full definitions are opt-in.
+Request the detail needed for an investigation immediately:
+```bash
+nex behavior --table change_request --category business_rules \
+  --details scripts --auth dev --read-only --json
+nex behavior --table change_request --category flows \
+  --details definitions --details dependencies --dependency-depth 1 \
+  --max-bytes 262144 --auth dev --read-only --json
+```
+Retrieve 1–50 known artifacts without repeating table discovery. Repeat `--reference` with `kind:sourceTable:sysId` values from results. Replace these example IDs with real source IDs:
+```bash
+nex behavior details \
+  --reference flows:sys_hub_flow:0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef \
+  --reference business_rules:sys_script:abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789 \
+  --details scripts --details definitions --details dependencies \
+  --dependency-depth 1 --max-bytes 262144 --auth dev --read-only --json
+```
+Known subflows, actions, Script Includes and decision tables are also supported. Preserve references returned by discovery: a flow inventory reference can identify its trigger record. For a known flow ID, use `flows:sys_hub_flow:<sys_id>`.
+| Control | Use |
+| --- | --- |
+| `--category` | Repeat to select categories; default all eight |
+| `--include-inactive` | Include inactive/draft candidates where discoverable |
+| `--no-include-inherited` | Restrict table associations to the requested table |
+| `--name`, `--sys-id` | Filter metadata names or up to 50 source IDs; repeat `--sys-id` |
+| `--limit` | Items per category, 1–200; default 50 |
+| `--cursor` | Continue exactly one selected category with unchanged table and filters |
+| `--details` | Repeat for `scripts`, `definitions`, or `dependencies`; available on both commands |
+| `--dependency-depth` | 0 by default; 1 expands at most 50 unique dependency references and requires `--details dependencies` |
+| `--max-bytes` | JSON budget, 4,096–1,048,576 bytes; default 65,536 |
+| `--scope` | Transaction scope for flow definition reads |
+Continue a category using its returned `nextCursor`, retaining the original filters and detail selection:
+```bash
+nex behavior --table change_request --category business_rules \
+  --auth dev --read-only --json
+nex behavior --table change_request --category business_rules \
+  --cursor '<nextCursor from the previous response>' \
+  --auth dev --read-only --json
+```
+**Read completeness before drawing conclusions.** Each category has `status` (`complete`, `partial`, `unavailable`, or `failed`), `items`, `warnings`, and an optional `nextCursor`. Detail batches return `remainingReferences`; oversized details are omitted whole with `omittedDetails` and warnings, never cut mid-script. Increase `--max-bytes`, narrow the batch, or follow the cursor. Even an empty designer-scan page can require continuation. Visibility is limited to configuration accessible to the authenticated account.
+For Change Management ATF planning, combine schema choices with behavior conditions, required fields, state transitions and dependent artifacts. Keep client UI requirements separate from server enforcement. Build assertions from that configuration, then validate execution with ATF results, logs and flow contexts. Discovery does not evaluate conditions or predict execution order; runtime trigger metadata and current design definitions have separate provenance and can differ.
+`--json` prints one JSON document. SDK diagnostics pass through the shared redacting logger to stderr; core 6.4.1 waits for pending file-log writes during bounded shutdown flushing. Live behavior validation used an Australia instance; Zurich validation remains outstanding.
+See the [behavior guide](docs/table-behavior.md) and [core API reference](https://github.com/sonisoft-cnanda/now-sdk-ext-core/blob/main/docs/TableBehaviorDiscovery.md) for source tables, dependency limits and recovery details.

+## Open a desktop UI session
+```bash
+nex auth open -a bcbsscdev --cred-store
+```
+Mints a verified cookie session from the stored SDK alias and opens it in a
+dedicated Edge window. See [docs/AUTH_OPEN.md](docs/AUTH_OPEN.md) for macOS,
+Windows, and WSL. This is not your daily browser profile; close the window
+when finished. `--browser chrome|brave` and `--cdp http://127.0.0.1:9222` are
+optional.
+## Playwright sessions from SDK aliases
+```bash
+nex auth browser-session -a dev206299 --cred-store --output playwright/.auth/dev.json --json
+```
+Uses SDK OAuth refresh and exports cookie-only Playwright storage state. Output is
+metadata/path only; the file contains secrets and is written atomically with mode
+0600. Existing output requires `--force`; symlinks are refused. Ignore the auth
+directory in Git and exclude it from test artifacts.
+Pass the file as Playwright's `storageState`. Remote Docker browsers receive the
+state over the Playwright connection; they need no credential-store mount.
+Generate a fresh session per test, especially when impersonating. For long tests,
+renew at an explicit safe checkpoint and open a new context; state files cannot
+refresh themselves.
+Regular nex commands now pass an alias-bound provider to core so long-running
+operations can renew credentials. Read-only authentication failures can retry once;
+writes and stateful workflows are not automatically replayed. nex permission flags
+do not constrain actions performed later by Playwright.
+Use the same backend/path for `now-sdk-x` and `nex --cred-store`. Plain now-sdk
+normally uses the keyring and does not synchronize a separate credential store.
+When upgrading a shared store, stop all clients first, upgrade every client
+(including standalone `now-sdk-x`) to sn-credstore 1.1.1 or later, then restart.
+The new lock protocol cannot safely run alongside older clients.
