 ### Selectors
 
 A **selector** is `{ text?, id?, role? }` (all-must-match; `text`/`role` are case-insensitive substrings, `id` matches the element's testID / accessibilityIdentifier / resource-id exactly, case-insensitive, also accepting the unqualified Android resource-id name — `submit` matches `com.example.app:id/submit`) — the same semantics `await-ui-element` uses, though that tool spells the `id` field `identifier` (flow YAML also accepts `identifier` as an alias for `id`, but `id` is the canonical spelling and what the recorder writes). A bare string is a _loose_ selector: it resolves **identifier-first, then falls back to text** (label/value), so `tap: Login` matches a `testID="Login"` or, failing that, visible text "Login" — no need to know which. Loose fallback applies uniformly to every selector slot (`tap`, `type.into`, `await`, `assert`, `scroll-to`). Use the map form to be strict: `{ id: submit-btn }` (identifier only) or `{ text: Login }` (text only, no fallback).
 
-`text` also takes a **regex matcher map** — `{ text: { matches: '^Order #\d+$' } }`, in any selector slot — for dynamic text no literal can pin. It tests each node's native **own** label/value (not the adapter-hoisted `subtreeText`), though on iOS a container's own label may itself aggregate descendant text, so a wrapper and its leaf can both match. Same regex rules as `text.in`'s `matches` (see _`await` and `assert`_): unanchored, **case-sensitive**, single-quoted, invalid pattern fails at parse. So `assert: { visible: { text: { matches: '^Taps: \d+$' } } }` asserts a counter is on screen with no locator at all, and `tap: { text: { matches: '^Order #\d+$' } }` taps a dynamic row — though a stable `id` stays the more robust action target.
-
-Selectors resolve against the **full native hierarchy** (iOS: the UIView tree; Android: the complete accessibility hierarchy including not-important views) — strictly more than `describe` or the raw `await-ui-element` tool see (both use the trimmed tree), with complete `testID`/`resource-id` coverage. So an `id` selector works even when `describe` collapses or omits the element — don't fall back to coordinate taps just because a testID isn't visible in `describe` output. And when several elements match — including wrappers whose native text aggregates descendant content — the action directives (`tap`, `type`, `scroll-to`) pick the **most specific** match: an exact text/identifier match beats a substring hit (for a regex matcher, a pattern consuming the element's whole text counts as exact), then the smallest frame wins.

 **Quote strings YAML would mangle.** An unquoted `#` starts a YAML comment — `tap: Order #1234` silently parses as `tap: Order` — and bare `yes`/`no`/`on`/`off`/numbers coerce to non-strings. When a selector or typed text contains `#`, `:`, quotes, or could read as a boolean/number, wrap it: `tap: "Order #1234"`.
 
@@ -49,7 +46,6 @@ The **condition is the key**, and its value is the selector:
 
 - `{ visible: Home }`, `{ exists: { id: row } }`, `{ hidden: spinner }`
 - `{ text: { in: <selector>, contains: "Taps:" } }` or `{ text: { in: <selector>, equals: "Taps: 0" } }` — `text` locates an element (`in`) and checks its rendered content against exactly one of `contains` (case-insensitive substring) or `equals` (case-insensitive exact match — use it when boundaries matter: `contains: "Taps: 3"` is also satisfied by "Taps: 30"). Reach for `text` only when the locator is an identifier/role; to assert a string is simply on screen, prefer `{ visible: "Taps: 0" }`.
-- `{ text: { in: total, matches: 'Total: \$\d+\.\d{2}' } }` — the third comparator: a JS regex for dynamic content (counters, prices, dates) that neither literal mode can pin. Unanchored like `contains` (anchor with `^…$` for the `equals` analog) and — unlike the literal modes — **case-sensitive**: the pattern carries its own semantics. An invalid pattern fails at parse time. **Quote the pattern in single quotes**: single-quoted and plain YAML scalars keep backslashes; double quotes would need `\\d`. To assert a dynamic string is simply on screen with no locator, prefer a regex **selector** — `{ visible: { text: { matches: '^Taps: \d+$' } } }` (see Selectors); `text.in` + `matches` is for checking a specific element's aggregated text.
 - A container's text aggregates its descendants' text (space-joined), so `text` can assert what a testID wrapper visibly shows even when the string lives in a child node. That also means `equals` against a wrapper must match _everything_ it shows or exactly the wrapper's own label/value — targeting the leaf holding exactly the value (or using `contains`) stays the clearer spelling.
 
 This condition-as-key form is the only spelling. `await` also accepts an optional `timeout` sibling key in milliseconds — `- await: { visible: Home, timeout: 15000 }` — for a transition that legitimately needs longer than the default budget. **Omit `timeout` by default**: the default budget covers normal transitions, and a habitual generous override just delays failure reporting on every broken step. Add one only after a step demonstrably needs it — it timed out at the default and the wait is legitimately slow (a cold start, a network round-trip, a long animation). `assert` has no timeout override: a check that needs seconds to become true is a wait — spell it `await`.

 `type` presses Enter after typing to commit the value and dismiss the keyboard, so it can't cover later targets. For a chained form whose fields feed one explicit submit — e.g. email then password then a `tap: "Log in"` — set `submit: false` on the intermediate fields so a premature Enter doesn't fire the form early: `type: { into: password, text: "hunter2", submit: false }`.
 
-Never record a real credential into a flow — the YAML is committed to the repo. Use a secret placeholder instead: `type: { into: password, text: "{{secret:APP_PASSWORD}}" }`. The placeholder is stored verbatim (the YAML stays secret-free) and is resolved at run time by the tool-server from the `ARGENT_SECRET_APP_PASSWORD` environment variable — including agent-less `argent flow run` in CI, where the variable comes from the job's secrets.
-
 `scroll-to` takes an optional `direction` (`up` | `down` | `left` | `right`, default `down` — so the common case is just `- scroll-to: <selector>`) and optionally a `within: <selector>` that anchors the scroll inside a specific container — required to drive a **nested** scroller (e.g. a horizontal carousel inside a vertical list), since the device can't be asked which container to scroll. It scrolls in bounded momentum-free increments, re-checks after each, and stops if a scroll reveals nothing new (end of the container). `tap`/`type` do **not** scroll — add a `scroll-to` before any target that may be off-screen. It's a no-op when the target is already visible, so a defensive `scroll-to` costs nothing on replay and keeps the flow working on smaller screens.

 ### Standalone runner

+You do not need the user to ask for a flow. Record one proactively when you recognize any of these patterns:
 
 - **About to re-profile**: You completed a profiling session and are about to apply a fix and re-profile. Record the interaction steps now so the re-profile replays them identically (see `argent-react-native-profiler` and `argent-native-profiler` skills).
 - **Repeating steps**: You have already performed a multi-step interaction sequence once and the task requires doing it again (comparison, retry, re-test).

 ## 1. Prerequisites
 
 For **React Native (iOS / Android)**: requires **Metro dev server running** (default `localhost:8081`) and **a React Native app connected to Metro** (at least one CDP target). Verify via `debugger-status`.
 
-For **Vega (Fire TV)**: requires a **Debug `.vpkg`** (a Release build never attaches) and **Metro reachable from the device** (`vega device start-port-forwarding --port 8081 --forward false`). Verify via `debugger-status`. `debugger-component-tree`, `debugger-inspect-element`, `debugger-reload-metro` and the `react-profiler-*` / `profiler-*` tools are unavailable there — see the `argent-tv-interact` skill.
-
 For **Chromium (CDP)**: requires a Chromium/CDP app already available — an Electron app booted via `boot-device` with `electronAppPath`, or any Chromium browser exposing a CDP port (auto-discovered by `list-devices` on `9222` / `ARGENT_CHROMIUM_PORTS`). The debugger re-uses the page CDP session — `port` is ignored, `device_id` is the `chromium-cdp-<port>` value from `list-devices` / `boot-device`. Only `debugger-connect`, `debugger-status`, `debugger-evaluate`, `debugger-log-registry`, `view-network-logs`, and `view-network-request-details` work on Chromium (the latter two read the browser's native CDP Network recording for the active tab instead of the Metro-injected `fetch` interceptor); `debugger-component-tree`, `debugger-reload-metro`, `debugger-inspect-element`, and the `react-profiler-*` / `profiler-*` tools are RN-only and reject Chromium at the capability gate with `Tool 'X' is not supported on chromium app`.

 ## 2. Tool Overview
 
-All tools accept `port` (default 8081) AND `device_id` (the iOS Simulator UDID, Android serial, or Vega serial — a.k.a. `logicalDeviceId`, the CDP-reported id that matches the device). Vega's legacy inspector reports no `logicalDeviceId`, so there keep passing the serial. Always make sure you target the correct app on the correct device.

 One Metro port can serve multiple connected devices (e.g. two simulators on `localhost:8081`, or an iOS simulator alongside an Android emulator with `adb reverse` set up). `device_id` pins every debugger/network/profiler call to a specific device so sessions do not collide.

Component-tree and inspect-element are hard-blocked: they need `Runtime.addBinding`, which this Hermes acknowledges but never installs. The rest are simply unverified on the legacy inspector. Use `describe` for on-screen structure; with both component tools gated off, component `file:line` tracing has no path on Vega.
-- `debugger-status` reports `isNewDebugger: false`.
-- `projectRoot` is empty (RN 0.72's Metro sends no project-root header), so lookups that resolve paths against the project root return no location.
