Cell refs ARE selector references (resolved via selectors.yaml; optional element type after the ref). Requires the `| Ref |` header and ≥2 element rows — a missing header or single row is a compile error, never an empty pass. A mismatch reports the expected ref + the actual focused element (shadow-DOM-aware tag/role/name). Limitations: web only (no Appium); declare tab order OUTSIDE `use dialog`/frame scope (cell locators render page-rooted — put `scope: dialog` on the selector ENTRIES if the elements live in a dialog); focus traps / dynamic comboboxes / `tabindex=-1` reordering / WebKit differences may need `@manual` keyboard-only audits — those stay legitimate manuals.

+`adapters/{playwright,appium}/templates/steps/` or a shipped diagnostic — see
+`tests/codegen/adapter-template-parity.run.ts` `DIVERGENCES` for the authoritative one-sided list.
+
+**Web-only `[web]`** — the Appium template throws, naming the reason: `fill [T] uploader with
+{{f}}`, Positional table rows, the whole Table section, Browser storage, Tab order, `@mock`,
+`Then User is on [T] page` (route-assertion). Each targets something native has no equivalent for
+(HTML `<table>`, `<input type=file>`, DOM storage, keyboard-focus traversal, `page.route`, a URL bar).
+
+**Mobile-only `[mobile]`** — the gesture catalog (swipe, long-press, pinch-zoom, pull-to-refresh,
+rotate, background/foreground, notifications, grant-permission, clipboard set, set-geolocation,
+hide-keyboard, tap-top-of) has no web counterpart. Full syntax → `sungen-mobile-gestures`.
+
+**Divergences — compiles on both, means something different:**
+
+| Step | Web | Mobile |
+|---|---|---|
+| `see [T] page` \| `page with {{v}}` | asserts path+query | **silent no-op** — asserts nothing; the scenario passes regardless. Assert a screen-marker element instead |
+| `is on [T] page` \| `open [T] page` (Given/When) | navigates via URL | no-op — the app is already launched; use tap/gesture steps for mobile screen changes |
+| `wait for [T] page` | waits for the URL | fixed `driver.pause(500)` settle — not a real wait condition |
+| `hover [T] icon \| row` | real hover | no-op — hover-revealed content is normally already visible on mobile; use `tap` |
+| `fill [T] alert with {{v}}` | fills native `prompt()` | no-op (comment only) — app-specific, handle manually |
+| `switch to [T] frame` | enters an `<iframe>` | switches a hybrid app's WebView context; no-op on a pure-native screen (no WebView found) |
+| `see [X] with {{v}}` (filtered visibility forms) | CSS `hasText` filter | hand-rolled substring match over `getText()`/`content-desc` (Android) or `label`/`value` (iOS) — same substring semantics, different attribute set |
+| `… is sorted …` / `… is loading` inside a filtered row/state check | reads `aria-sort`/`aria-busy` | **throws** — no native analog for these two states specifically (the plain, unfiltered `is loading` on a spinner still works on both) |
+| `scope: dialog` selector option | resolves inside the dialog | no effect (`SG-W021`) — steps resolve against the whole screen |
+| `open notification panel` (mobile gesture) | n/a | Android-only — throws on iOS |
