+**Pre-flight (MANDATORY before any browser step):**
+1. Read `package.json` scripts — identify dev command (e.g. `dev`, `start`, `vite`)
+2. Determine default port (check script args, `vite.config.*`, or env)
+3. Check if dev server already running on port (attempt `http({ url:'http://localhost:<port>' })`)
+4. If NOT running, delegate to a helper or use `createAndRunTask` to start `npm run dev`
+   in the background; wait for ready signal
+5. Capture the base URL
+
+**Validation:**
+6. `open_browser_page({ url })` — render target component page
+7. `screenshot_page` + `read_page` — capture visual + DOM
+8. Keyboard-only navigation check: simulate Tab/Enter/Escape via `type_in_page` —
+   verify focus ring, activation, dismiss
+9. Compare against design tokens / Figma URL if supplied
+10. Fail fast if color contrast < 4.5:1 (WCAG AA) or focus indicator missing
+
+If the pre-flight dev server cannot be started (e.g. sandbox), fall back to
+`compact` inspection of the component source + describe expected visual behavior.

+   Never hand-edit what `rename`/`codemod` can do safely.
+4. **Verify:** `check({})` + `test_run({})` must both pass with zero new failures
+5. **Post-metrics:** `measure({ path })` again — confirm cognitive complexity
+   delta is negative (or justify if zero)
+6. **If validation fails:** `checkpoint({ action:'restore', label:'pre-refactor-<scope>' })`

+- Delegate to `Researcher-Delta` with a feasibility question — they can use `lane`
