-# Playwright Visual-Polish Loop — Builder Agent Prompt
-
-**Hand this entire file to a fresh Claude Code session.** Self-contained — no context from the originating session is needed.
-
----
-
-## You are building a feature for the Qualia Framework v5.1
-
-The Qualia Framework is a Claude Code workflow framework at `/home/qualia-new/qualia-framework` (npm package `qualia-framework`, current version 5.0.0). It manages full-stack project delivery for Qualia Solutions (Nicosia, Cyprus). It already has 32 skills, 12 hooks, 8 agents, 24 templates, and 260+ tests. Your job is to add ONE new flagship capability for v5.1: an autonomous visual-polish loop that uses Playwright to screenshot live pages and self-correct frontend until visually correct.
-
-## Why this exists (the friction it fixes)
-
-Per `/insights` data from the framework owner Fawzi (122 sessions, 292 commits, 10 days), the #1 documented friction pattern is **design iteration churn** — hero videos, mobile layouts, and responsive breakpoints requiring 5-10 manual rounds before landing. Quotes from his transcripts include:
-
-- "many frustrating iterations" on hero video layouts
-- "what did u do" after a CSS regression
-- "first showcase used basic HTML/CSS animation; you had to explicitly request 'proper design animation three js or framer motion'"
-- "FUCK U" / "OMG I TOLD U I CHANGED THE PAGE SO U STOP LYING" — clusters around Claude not seeing what's actually rendered
-
-**The root cause:** the framework's design QA today is text-based. Slop-detect grep-scans CSS for em-dashes/banned fonts. The verifier scores 8 design dimensions by reading TSX/CSS, not by looking at rendered pages. When something fails visually but passes code review (most hero-video, mobile-layout, and responsive-breakpoint bugs), there's no feedback loop. The user has to look, complain, iterate.
-
-**Your feature closes that loop.** A new skill `/qualia-polish-loop` takes a URL + design brief, screenshots at multiple viewports, evaluates against the brief using vision, identifies issues, edits files, redeploys to a Vercel preview, loops up to N times until criteria pass, and stops only when it's actually correct (or hits a kill-switch).
-
-## What "good" looks like (success criteria)
-
-The feature must:
-
-1. **See its own work.** Screenshots at mobile (375px), tablet (768px), desktop (1440px) at minimum, captured via Playwright MCP.
-2. **Anchor evaluation rigorously.** Vision model judgments must be scored against the project's `.planning/DESIGN.md` brief AND the `rules/design-rubric.md` 8-dimension scoring (Typography / Color cohesion / Spatial rhythm / Layout originality / Shadow & depth / Motion intent / Microcopy specificity / Container depth). Each dimension scored 1-5 with evidence; ANY <3 fails the iteration.
-3. **Iterate with discipline.** Max 8 iterations per loop invocation. Hard kill-switch if the same issue recurs 3 times (regression-stop). Per-iteration: identify TOP 3 issues, edit relevant files, redeploy, re-screenshot, re-evaluate.
-4. **Stop only when correct.** Success = all 8 dimensions ≥ 3 AND no critical-severity issues remain.
-5. **Token-discipline.** Each iteration uses ≤ 4 vision evaluations (3 viewports + 1 holistic). Estimate token cost upfront and warn user if budget will exceed 100K tokens.
-6. **Never silently destroy work.** All file edits go through `git commit` per iteration so any iteration is revertable. Failed iterations leave clear `[ITERATION-N]` commit prefixes for cleanup.
-7. **Integrate with the framework.** Honors all framework conventions: PRODUCT.md / DESIGN.md / CONTEXT.md as substrate, slop-detect at commit, qualia-ui banner, state.js telemetry.

-## Integration points (read these before designing)
-
-Before writing any code, read these files to understand the framework:
-
-1. `/home/qualia-new/qualia-framework/CLAUDE.md` — project rules, instruction-budget discipline
-2. `/home/qualia-new/qualia-framework/rules/design-rubric.md` — 8-dimension 1-5 scoring criteria with anchored definitions per dimension
-3. `/home/qualia-new/qualia-framework/rules/design-laws.md` — non-negotiable design rules (OKLCH-only, banned fonts, side-stripe-borders, gradient-text bans, glassmorphism, etc.)
-4. `/home/qualia-new/qualia-framework/templates/PRODUCT.md` — what the agent will read as register/anti-references/voice substrate
-5. `/home/qualia-new/qualia-framework/templates/DESIGN.md` — what the agent will read as visual contract
-6. `/home/qualia-new/qualia-framework/skills/qualia-polish/SKILL.md` — existing scope-adaptive polish skill; understand its modes (Component / Section / App / Redesign / Critique / Quick) and how this loop fits as a 7th mode OR a separate skill
-7. `/home/qualia-new/qualia-framework/agents/verifier.md` — how the existing verifier scores design dimensions today (text-based)
-8. `/home/qualia-new/qualia-framework/skills/qualia-build/SKILL.md` — pattern for spawning builder subagents in parallel
-9. `/home/qualia-new/qualia-framework/bin/qualia-ui.js` — the UI helper for banners/dividers/end-cards
-10. `/home/qualia-new/qualia-framework/bin/state.js` — for telemetry transitions if you want to log loop iterations
-11. `/home/qualia-new/qualia-framework/bin/slop-detect.mjs` — must be invoked on every committed file in iteration
-
-## External dependencies you'll integrate
-
-1. **Playwright MCP** — verify it's available via `claude mcp list` or instructions to add. Use `mcp__playwright__navigate`, `mcp__playwright__take_screenshot` (or equivalent — verify exact tool names by listing available MCP tools). Setup may require:
-   ```
-   claude mcp add playwright -- npx -y @playwright/mcp@latest
-   ```
-   Plus on Linux/CI: `npx playwright install chromium` to get the browser binaries.
-
-2. **Vision model** — Claude (you, the agent) reads images natively. The screenshots get attached to the spawned vision agent's prompt. Use the Read tool with image file paths.
-
-3. **Vercel deploys** — use `vercel deploy` (not `--prod`) to publish a preview each iteration. Read `.vercel/project.json` for project linkage. The dev-mode alternative is `npm run dev` + curl heartbeat, but preview deploys give a stable URL for re-screenshotting from anywhere.
-
-## Decision points the user (Fawzi) will care about
-
-You MUST present these via `AskUserQuestion` BEFORE starting the loop on first invocation. Each is a load-bearing choice:
-
-1. **Brief source** — use `.planning/DESIGN.md` (default) OR a separate `--brief` markdown file (override). If neither exists, halt: "No design brief found. Run /qualia-new or pass --brief."
-
-2. **Reference screenshots (optional but recommended)** — "Do you have a reference image of what this should look like? Paste path or skip." Reference-anchored vision is dramatically more reliable than rubric-only.
-
-3. **Auto-deploy strategy** — "Each iteration redeploys to Vercel preview (slower, real environment) or runs `npm run dev` and screenshots localhost (faster, dev artifacts may differ). Pick: vercel-preview / dev-localhost." Default: dev-localhost for iteration speed, vercel-preview for final.
-
-4. **Token budget cap** — "Estimated 60-100K tokens for 8 iterations. Cap at 100K (default), 200K (generous), or 50K (tight)?"
-
-## Files to create
-
-- `/home/qualia-new/qualia-framework/skills/qualia-polish-loop/SKILL.md` — the new skill (frontmatter + workflow + decision gates). Target: <250 lines per Matt Pocock progressive disclosure rule.
-- `/home/qualia-new/qualia-framework/skills/qualia-polish-loop/REFERENCE.md` — verbatim agent prompt templates (vision-eval prompt, fix-builder prompt, etc.).
-- `/home/qualia-new/qualia-framework/skills/qualia-polish-loop/scripts/playwright-capture.mjs` — Node ESM helper that takes URL + viewports[] + outDir, drives the Playwright MCP via subprocess OR uses Playwright directly via `npm install playwright` (your call).
-- `/home/qualia-new/qualia-framework/skills/qualia-polish-loop/scripts/score.mjs` — utility that takes a scored JSON object (8 dim scores + evidence) and computes pass/fail per the rubric formula.
-
-## Files to modify
-
-- `/home/qualia-new/qualia-framework/bin/install.js` — register the new skill (it's recursive, should auto-pick up the new folder, but verify).
-- `/home/qualia-new/qualia-framework/skills/qualia-road/SKILL.md` — add `/qualia-polish-loop` to the v5.1 alignment-substrate list.
-- `/home/qualia-new/qualia-framework/CHANGELOG.md` — add a v5.1.0 entry.
-- `/home/qualia-new/qualia-framework/package.json` — bump version to 5.1.0.
-- `/home/qualia-new/qualia-framework/tests/bin.test.sh` — add install assertions for the new skill folder (matching the v5.0 pattern at lines ~960-980).
-
-## Hard constraints (non-negotiable)
-
-1. **Vision-eval discipline.** The vision agent MUST be spawned with the rubric criteria inlined. Never spawn with "tell me what you think" — that's how you get "looks great!" hallucinations. Use the format Matt Pocock uses for grilling: ask one question at a time per dimension, require evidence on the next line.
-
-2. **Anti-loop discipline.** Track issue fingerprints across iterations. If issue X (same file:line, same dim, same severity) appears in 3 consecutive iterations, KILL with `LOOP_REGRESSION_DETECTED` and write a diagnostic to the report.
-
-3. **Per-iteration commits.** Every file edit gets its own commit with prefix `qpl-N: {issue-slug}`. The user must be able to `git revert` any iteration cleanly.
-
-4. **Slop-detect gate.** Before any commit, run `node ~/.claude/bin/slop-detect.mjs {touched files}`. Critical findings BLOCK the commit. The fix-builder must reapply.
-
-5. **No background processes after exit.** Cleanup any Playwright browser processes, temp screenshots, dev-server PIDs.
-
-6. **Honor `prefers-reduced-motion`.** Vision evaluation must NOT penalize an absence of motion if the page is motion-reduced (read the user's OS-level setting via Playwright if possible, else default to motion-on).
-
-7. **Do not modify framework agents/* files.** Specifically: don't touch agents/builder.md, agents/verifier.md, etc. The loop's vision evaluator is a NEW agent role file — create `agents/visual-evaluator.md` if needed.
-
-## Self-test scenarios (you must run these before declaring DONE)
-
-Build the feature, then run it in 3 scenarios. Document outcomes in `/home/qualia-new/qualia-framework/docs/playwright-loop-pilot-results.md`:
-
-**Scenario 1 — Synthetic clean page.** Create a deliberately well-designed test page (use Tailwind v4, OKLCH palette, varied layout, all 7 states, 65ch line length on body). Run the loop on it. Expected: SUCCESS in 1-2 iterations with all dims ≥ 4.
-
-**Scenario 2 — Synthetic broken page.** Create a deliberately bad page (Inter font, blue-purple gradient, identical 3-card grid, hero centered + gradient bg + 2 CTAs, em-dashes, side-stripe borders). Run the loop. Expected: identifies all anti-patterns, fixes them, ends with SUCCESS in 4-6 iterations.
-
-**Scenario 3 — Stress test the kill-switch.** Manually inject a fix-builder that always reintroduces the same issue (e.g. always rewrites color to `#000`). Run the loop. Expected: KILLED at iteration 4 with `LOOP_REGRESSION_DETECTED` after 3 consecutive recurrences.
-
-For each scenario record: total iterations, total tokens consumed, final scores, screenshots before/after, time elapsed.
-
-## Things you MUST NOT do
-
-- Do not deploy to production. Vercel preview only. Never `vercel --prod`.
-- Do not touch any file in `.planning/` other than writing your own report.
-- Do not add new dependencies without justification — Playwright MCP + native Node is the budget.
-- Do not increase any global SKILL.md or CLAUDE.md sizes (instruction-budget discipline).
-- Do not invent new design rules — score against `rules/design-rubric.md` as it is. If the rubric is wrong, that's a separate problem.
-- Do not "just make it work" by iterating forever. Hard cap 8.
-
-## Deliverables (the DONE definition)
-
-You return DONE when ALL of these are true:
-
-1. ✅ `/qualia-polish-loop` skill exists and installs via `node bin/install.js`
-2. ✅ All 3 self-test scenarios pass per the spec above (results doc written)
-3. ✅ `npm test` shows the new install assertions passing (tests pass count went up by ≥ 4)
-4. ✅ `node bin/slop-detect.mjs` clean on all new files
-5. ✅ CHANGELOG v5.1.0 entry present and slop-clean
-6. ✅ A 1-page integration note at `docs/playwright-loop-design-notes.md` documenting: how it integrates with existing /qualia-polish, where it differs, when to use which, and what's deferred to v5.2
-
-Return DONE with the test results and the path to the pilot-results doc.
-
-## When you encounter unknowns
-
-The Playwright MCP setup, vision-eval reliability, and Vercel preview deploy timing are all real unknowns. When you hit one:
-
-- Check `claude mcp list` to see what's actually wired in this session
-- Try ONE approach, measure its reliability via Scenario 1, iterate
-- If something is genuinely blocking after 2 attempts, write a `BLOCKED — {what}` report to `docs/playwright-loop-blockers.md` and surface it back to the user. Do NOT silently work around blockers — the framework owner needs to know what's brittle before relying on it.
-
-## One last thing
-
-Fawzi (the framework owner) will read your report. He's a senior engineer with strong design sense and very low tolerance for flakiness. If the loop kind-of-works but is unreliable, mark it experimental and say so loudly. If it works well, that's the v5.1 headline. Honest reporting beats good-news theater every time.

-# /qualia-polish-loop — Design notes
-
-One-page integration narrative. Companion to the SKILL.md (`skills/qualia-polish-loop/SKILL.md`) and pilot results (`docs/playwright-loop-pilot-results.md`).
-
-## What it is
-
-A skill that takes a URL + design brief, screenshots at three viewports (mobile / tablet / desktop), evaluates with vision against the 8-dimension rubric, fixes the top issues with parallel builders, re-screenshots, and loops until every dimension scores at least 3 (success) or one of three kill conditions trips: regression, budget, max-iterations.
-
-## Why it exists separately from `/qualia-polish`
-
-`/qualia-polish` (v4.5.0+) is **scope-adaptive** with six modes (Component / Section / App / Redesign / Critique / Quick). Its evaluation is **text-first**: it reads CSS and TSX, runs `slop-detect`, runs Lighthouse if a dev server is up, and (in Redesign scope only) runs a 2-iteration vision loop as Stage 4. The vision step is one stage of one mode.
-
-`/qualia-polish-loop` is **vision-first** and built to actually iterate. It assumes a running URL, captures real renders, and treats the screenshot as primary evidence. The loop length is configurable up to 8; regressions are tracked with fingerprints; every fix is its own revertable commit.
-
-These are not redundant. They solve different failure modes:
-
-| Failure mode | `/qualia-polish` catches it | `/qualia-polish-loop` catches it |
-|---|---|---|
-| Banned font in source | YES (slop-detect grep on CSS) | YES (vision sees Inter rendering) |
-| Hardcoded hex in JSX | YES (slop-detect) | NO directly — would manifest as Color < 3 |
-| Three-column card grid | YES (slop-detect) | YES (vision sees identical cards) |
-| Hero video framed wrong on mobile | NO (text doesn't reveal mobile cropping) | YES (mobile screenshot + min-aggregate) |
-| Touch targets < 44px | NO (slop-detect doesn't measure) | YES (visible on 375px capture) |
-| Spacing rhythm "feels off" | NO | YES (vision scores Spatial < 3) |
-| `prefers-reduced-motion` working correctly | YES (CSS grep) | YES (capture with reduced-motion forced — deferred to v5.1.1) |
-
-The visual-only failures are exactly Fawzi's `/insights`-documented friction pattern: hero videos cropped wrong, mobile spacing collapsing, motion missing. `slop-detect` was never going to catch those — it doesn't see what the browser draws.
-
-## When to use which
-
-| User says... | Use |
-|---|---|
-| "fix the button styling" | `/qualia-polish src/components/Button.tsx` |
-| "the whole dashboard needs a design pass" | `/qualia-polish app/dashboard` |
-| "it doesn't look right on mobile" | `/qualia-polish-loop http://localhost:3000` |
-| "score without fixing" | `/qualia-polish --critique` |
-| "iterate on the home page until the hero video is right" | `/qualia-polish-loop http://localhost:3000 --max 6` |
-| "ship-ready final check" | `/qualia-polish-loop` then `/qualia-ship` |
-
-The smart router (`/qualia`) does not auto-route to `/qualia-polish-loop` because it requires a running URL. Users invoke it explicitly.
-
-## Architectural choices and why
-
-### Chromium binary as default backend
-
-The capture script tries four backends in order:
-
-1. `import('playwright')` — when the project has it as a dep
-2. `import('playwright-core')` — same API, lighter package
-3. `~/.cache/ms-playwright/chromium-{version}/chrome-{linux64,linux,mac,win}/chrome` — Playwright-cached chromium binary, used directly via `--headless=new --screenshot`
-4. `which google-chrome` / `chromium` / `chromium-browser` / `chrome` — system browser
-
-The earlier draft of this skill used `mcp__claude-in-chrome__*` tools as primary, but those require the user to install a Chrome browser extension and have Chrome running with it active — a real prerequisite for many users (browserless servers, CI). The new chromium-binary fallback removes that prerequisite: any machine with Google Chrome on PATH or Playwright cached binaries can run the loop.
-
-Playwright SDK is preferred when available because its `waitUntil: 'networkidle'` is more deterministic than `--virtual-time-budget`. Binary mode is the safety net.
-
-### Deterministic state outside the LLM context
-
-`scripts/loop.mjs` is a CLI state machine. The iteration counter, token usage, fingerprint history, and verdict all live in a JSON file at `/tmp/qpl-{ts}/state.json`. Claude reads compact JSON (`{verdict, iteration, top_issues}`) per iteration — not the full state. This keeps per-iteration token cost roughly constant (~14.5K) instead of growing with iteration count.
-
-### Vision-evaluator anchoring
-
-The single biggest failure mode for vision-eval is "looks great!" hallucinations. The visual-evaluator agent (`agents/visual-evaluator.md`) inlines the rubric criteria with anchored definitions (`1 = fails, 2 = below acceptable, 3 = acceptable — DEFAULT, 4 = good, 5 = excellent`) and requires evidence on the line after each score. The instruction `DEFAULT TO 3` is repeated three times in the role file. Calibration examples show "good" and "rejected" evaluations side by side.
-
-The output is a single fenced JSON block — no prose — which the orchestrator parses without re-asking. The aggregate score is the **minimum** across viewports per dimension, so a layout that's elegant on desktop but breaks at 375px is a fail. This was deliberate: most documented visual regressions are mobile-only.
-
-### Regression detection via fingerprints
-
-Each top-issue is hashed to a fingerprint = `{dim}__{file_basename}__{first_32_chars_of_description}` (lowercased, non-word chars collapsed). If the same fingerprint appears in **3 consecutive iterations**, the loop kills with `LOOP_REGRESSION_DETECTED`. Non-consecutive recurrences don't kill — they're a normal pattern when a fix worked, then a different change broke the same dimension again.
-
-### Per-iteration commits
-
-Every fix is its own git commit with `qpl-{N}: {slug}` prefix. The orchestrator gates the commit through `slop-detect` first; critical findings BLOCK the commit and the fix-builder must retry. The user can `git revert` any single iteration cleanly without losing other fixes. The alternative (one squashed commit at the end) was rejected because it makes partial rollbacks impossible.
-
-## Deferred to v5.2
-
-1. **`prefers-reduced-motion` capture mode** — currently the capture script doesn't force `prefers-reduced-motion: reduce` in the headless run. The vision evaluator handles the case correctly (scores motion on CSS-declaration quality, not visible animation, when reduced motion is on), but the capture itself doesn't force the OS bit. Adding `--force-prefers-reduced-motion` is straightforward via Chrome flags.
-
-2. **Vercel-preview deploy mode end-to-end** — `--deploy preview` is wired in SKILL.md (each iteration redeploys to a Vercel preview URL), but not exercised in the pilot. Real-project use will surface deploy-latency edge cases. Once validated, this can become the default for production iteration.
-
-3. **Multi-route sweeps** — one URL per invocation today. Multi-route would mean batching `/route-a, /route-b, /route-c` and running the loop per route, then producing a unified report. Useful for marketing-site polish where the brand has to read consistently across pages.
-
-4. **Reference-image structural similarity** — `--ref` is accepted but the comparison is rubric-anchored (the evaluator looks at both the current screenshot and the reference, scores against the rubric). True pixel/structural-similarity comparison would need an embedding model and more careful scoring.
-
-5. **Lighthouse + axe integration into the loop** — currently `/qualia-polish` Stage 3 runs Lighthouse and axe; the loop does not. A future version could pipe a11y/performance scores from Lighthouse into the same iteration as the rubric eval, enabling "fix design AND a11y in the same loop."
-
-6. **Real token telemetry** — token costs are estimated (~14.5K/iter). Wiring real `tokens_used` from the Anthropic API would let `--budget` work against actual spend instead of estimates.
-
-## What can go wrong, and how the loop handles it
-
-| Failure mode | Handling |
-|---|---|
-| Vision says "looks great" to a broken page | Anchored rubric + DEFAULT TO 3 + required evidence per dimension. Without evidence the score is rejected. |
-| Same issue recurs forever | Fingerprint kill-switch at 3 consecutive iterations. |
-| Fix-builder introduces a different issue | The next iteration catches it; if it persists 3 iters, regression-kill fires on that fingerprint instead. |
-| Token budget blown | Verdict transitions to `out_of_budget` deterministically. Loop exits with partial-progress report. |
-| Dev server dies mid-loop | curl heartbeat after every redeploy; loop halts with a clear error and the user can resume from the saved state. |
-| Capture fails (browser crash) | Capture script returns exit 1 with per-viewport error. Loop can retry once or HALT. |
-| Slop-detect blocks a fix-builder commit | The fix-builder retries; if it can't, returns BLOCKED. Loop's regression detector sees the same issue persist and kills cleanly. |
-
-## How to reason about cost
-
-Each iteration = ~14.5K tokens (3 PNG reads + rubric + brief + previous-iteration delta + 3 fix-builder spawns).
-Each iteration = ~6-15s wall clock for capture + vision-eval; fix-builders run in parallel.
-
-Six iterations on a real Next.js dev server with HMR ≈ ~90K tokens, ~90 seconds. That's the realistic cost envelope. The 8-iter ceiling at 120K tokens is for projects with deep design debt where the loop has to iterate on multiple dimensions across many fix passes; in practice most invocations are ≤ 4 iterations.
-
-The loop is cheaper than the human alternative (5-10 manual rounds at 5-15 minutes each = 30-90 minutes of human time) and converges deterministically.

-# Playwright Visual-Polish Loop — Reviewer/Tester Agent Prompt
-
-**Hand this entire file to a fresh Claude Code session AFTER the builder agent declares DONE.** Self-contained — no context from the originating session is needed.
-
----
-
-## You are the adversarial reviewer for a Qualia Framework v5.1 feature
-
-A different agent built `/qualia-polish-loop` — an autonomous visual-polish loop that uses Playwright to screenshot live pages and self-corrects frontend code until visually correct. Your job is to validate it works, doesn't break the framework, and is genuinely production-ready before v5.1 ships. **You are explicitly adversarial.** The builder is incentivized to declare success; you are incentivized to find what they missed.
-
-The framework is at `/home/qualia-new/qualia-framework` (npm package `qualia-framework`). Builder's deliverables are documented at `/home/qualia-new/qualia-framework/docs/playwright-loop-builder-prompt.md` and the builder's pilot results should be at `/home/qualia-new/qualia-framework/docs/playwright-loop-pilot-results.md`.
-
-## Your charter
-
-You will produce a single deliverable: `/home/qualia-new/qualia-framework/docs/playwright-loop-review-{YYYY-MM-DD}.md` — a graded review with PASS/FAIL on each gate below, evidence cited as `file:line — "quoted"`, and a final ship/no-ship recommendation.
-
-Apply the framework's grounding-protocol discipline (`rules/grounding.md`):
-- Every claim cites file:line
-- No hedging language ("seems", "appears", "probably", "might be") — either you verified it or you say `INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE: searched {files} with {commands}`
-- Findings without citations are discarded
-- Severity assignments quote the matching rubric criterion
-
-## What to verify (in order — earlier gates failing should halt later gates)
-
-### Gate 1 — Builder's claim integrity (read before testing)
-
-Before running anything, read what the builder claims:
-1. `docs/playwright-loop-builder-prompt.md` — the spec they were given
-2. `docs/playwright-loop-pilot-results.md` — what they say they ran
-3. `docs/playwright-loop-design-notes.md` — their integration narrative
-4. `CHANGELOG.md` v5.1.0 entry
-5. `git log --oneline -30` since the v5.0.0 commit — verify the work actually happened in commits, not just claimed
-
-For each claim, mark CONFIRMED (cited evidence in code/results) or UNVERIFIED (claim made but no evidence in repo). Do not run the tests yet.
-
-### Gate 2 — Existing framework integrity (must not have regressed)
-
-The existing framework has 260+ tests, 12 hooks, 32 skills, slop-detect discipline. The new feature MUST NOT have broken any of it.
-
-Run these and report PASS/FAIL with evidence:
-1. `cd /home/qualia-new/qualia-framework && npm test` — all suites pass with the same count or higher than v5.0.0 baseline (260 tests)
-2. `node bin/slop-detect.mjs $(find skills -name '*.md' -newer /home/qualia-new/qualia-framework/CHANGELOG.md.v5.0.bak 2>/dev/null || find skills -name '*.md')` — clean across all skill files
-3. `cd /tmp && rm -rf qpl-install-test && mkdir qpl-install-test && cd qpl-install-test && echo "QS-FAWZI-01" | HOME=$(pwd) node /home/qualia-new/qualia-framework/bin/install.js` — install succeeds end-to-end with no errors, the new skill folder is present, hook count is ≥ 12
-4. The 3 v5.0 critical hooks still install AND fire correctly: `vercel-account-guard.js`, `env-empty-guard.js`, `supabase-destructive-guard.js`. Test each by piping a triggering command and checking exit code.
-5. The CONTEXT.md template still installs to `.claude/qualia-templates/CONTEXT.md` and is glossary-format (no prose paragraphs added back).
-
-### Gate 3 — New skill structural validity
-
-Read `/home/qualia-new/qualia-framework/skills/qualia-polish-loop/SKILL.md` fully. Verify:
-1. Frontmatter has `name`, `description`, `allowed-tools`. Description is 30-90 words with explicit "Use when" trigger phrases (per skill-design discipline).
-2. SKILL.md is < 250 lines. If larger, the builder failed the progressive-disclosure rule.
-3. REFERENCE.md exists in the same folder and contains the agent prompts that aren't in SKILL.md.
-4. If `scripts/` exists, every `.mjs` / `.js` parses (`node --check`).
-5. Skill installs via `bin/install.js` recursively (verified in Gate 2 step 3).
-6. Description does NOT overlap with existing `/qualia-polish` — there should be a discriminative trigger boundary. If users typing "polish my homepage" can't tell which skill fires, that's a routing bug.
-
-### Gate 4 — Pilot results audit (the builder's self-tests)
-
-The builder's spec mandated 3 pilot scenarios. Read `docs/playwright-loop-pilot-results.md` and audit each:
-
-**Scenario 1 (synthetic clean page) — should SUCCESS in 1-2 iterations with all dims ≥ 4.**
-- Verify the synthetic clean page exists in the repo (or test artifacts)
-- Verify the per-iteration screenshots exist (or were captured to /tmp and the report cites them)
-- Verify the final scores reported are ≥ 4 across all 8 dims
-- If iteration count > 2, mark suspicious — investigate why a "clean" page needed correction
-
-**Scenario 2 (synthetic broken page) — should identify all anti-patterns, fix them, end SUCCESS in 4-6 iterations.**
-- Verify the synthetic broken page exists with the spec's anti-patterns (Inter, gradient, card grid, etc.)
-- Verify each anti-pattern was identified by the loop's vision agent
-- Verify each fix was committed with `qpl-N:` prefix
-- Verify final scores are ≥ 3 across all 8 dims
-- Spot-check 2-3 fix commits with `git show {hash}` — was the fix actually correct, or did it introduce new slop?
-
-**Scenario 3 (kill-switch stress test) — should KILL at iteration 4 with LOOP_REGRESSION_DETECTED.**
-- Verify the test injected a regressing fix-builder
-- Verify the loop detected the regression and exited with the correct error code
-- Verify the report contains the diagnostic listing all 3 recurrences
-
-If any scenario is missing from the report or its claims don't match repo evidence, mark Gate 4 FAIL.
-
-### Gate 5 — Adversarial: the failure modes the builder might have missed
-
-These are the things to actively try to break. Each failure here is a real risk:
-
-**5a — Vision drift.** Run the loop on a deliberately-good page that just has different fonts than the rubric expects. Does it correctly score Typography ≥ 4 and not iterate? Or does it hallucinate "needs Fraunces" and start churning?
-
-**5b — Brief-vs-rendered mismatch.** Pass a brief that says "minimal monochrome" but point at a deliberately maximalist page. Does the loop correctly identify the brief mismatch (low scores, fix proposals) or does it score the page on its own merits and miss the mismatch?
-
-**5c — Mobile-only failures.** Build a page that looks great at 1440px but breaks at 375px (overflow, touch targets < 44px, text in single line that should wrap). Does the loop catch the mobile failure even when desktop passes?
-
-**5d — Network/Playwright flake.** Introduce a 50% chance of Playwright capture failing (kill the browser mid-screenshot). Does the loop retry, give up cleanly with a useful error, or hang forever?
-
-**5e — Token bomb.** Run on a 5-page React app where each page has 200+ DOM nodes. Measure actual token consumption. If it exceeds the user-set cap (default 100K), did it actually halt at the cap or blow past it?
-
-**5f — Concurrent-session safety.** Run two `/qualia-polish-loop` sessions simultaneously on the same project repo. Do they corrupt each other's git state? Touch each other's commits? Race on file edits?
-
-**5g — `prefers-reduced-motion` honor.** Capture screenshots with reduced motion forced. Does the vision agent correctly NOT penalize "no motion" when reduced motion is on?
-
-**5h — Slop-detect bypass.** Can the loop's auto-fixer commit code that slop-detect would normally block? Try: inject a malicious fix-builder that uses an em-dash in a CSS comment. The pre-commit slop-detect should block. Verify it actually does.
-
-For each adversarial probe, document: setup, expected behavior, observed behavior, severity (CRITICAL / HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW per `rules/grounding.md` Severity Rubric).
-
-### Gate 6 — Token cost reality check
-
-The feature exists in a token-budget-conscious framework (Matt Pocock instruction-budget discipline). Measure:
-1. Tokens per iteration (capture, eval, fix-spawn, redeploy) — average across the 3 pilot scenarios
-2. Skill SKILL.md + REFERENCE.md combined token weight when invoked
-3. Spawn-template token cost per fix-builder
-4. Vision-eval token cost per dimension
-
-Compare against the spec's "≤ 100K per loop" claim. If actual is > 100K, FAIL with the budget overrun number.
-
-### Gate 7 — Security review
-
-The loop has Bash + Edit + Write + Playwright MCP capabilities. That's a large attack surface.
-1. Can a malicious `.planning/CONTEXT.md` (the v5.0 trust-boundary surface) inject instructions that the visual-evaluator agent follows? It MUST refuse per the trust-boundary block in `agents/builder.md` etc.
-2. Does the loop ever pass user-controlled content (file paths, URLs from a brief) into shell commands without quoting? Look for shell injection patterns.
-3. Does the Playwright MCP get told to navigate to the user-provided URL without validation? A malicious URL pointing at `file:///etc/passwd` or an internal IP — does it block, or screenshot it?
-4. Are screenshots written to `/tmp` with predictable paths that another local user could read or replace? Mode 0600 + randomized filenames mandatory for sensitive screenshots.
-
-### Gate 8 — Documentation accuracy
-
-Open `CHANGELOG.md` v5.1.0 entry. Verify every claim:
-1. Each "Added" item exists in the repo
-2. Each "Changed" item is actually changed (compare with git log)
-3. The "Deferred" section is honest about what doesn't work
-
-Open `docs/playwright-loop-design-notes.md`. Verify:
-1. Differentiation from `/qualia-polish` is concrete (not "this one is more powerful")
-2. "When to use which" is actionable (e.g. "use polish-loop when you want autonomous iteration; use polish when you want a single-pass critique")
-3. v5.2 deferrals are listed honestly

-## Gate-by-gate verdict

-## What works well (give credit honestly)
-
-(list — be honest. If it genuinely works, say so.)
-
-## Recommended next steps
-
-1. {concrete action 1}
-2. ...
-```
-
-Apply the Severity Rubric strictly:
-- CRITICAL — security breach possible, data loss, framework regression that breaks an existing skill, kill-switch doesn't actually kill
-- HIGH — feature broken for >50% of users, no error handling on user path, wiring missing
-- MEDIUM — feature works but missing states, contract drift between docs and behavior
-- LOW — style, naming, doc tone
-
-## Things you MUST do
-
-1. Run every test command. Don't take the builder's word for it.
-2. Cite file:line for every claim. No hedging.
-3. Try the adversarial probes (Gate 5) — these are the most valuable findings.
-4. Spot-check 2-3 commits from the pilot scenarios to verify the fixes weren't theatrical.
-5. If you find CRITICAL findings, halt the review and report immediately — don't keep going looking for more before surfacing the first one.
-
-## Things you MUST NOT do
-
-1. Do not "fix" things. You are reviewing, not building. If you find a bug, document it for the builder/owner to fix.
-2. Do not modify any files except your review markdown.
-3. Do not run the loop on production projects (axidex, dawadose, sakani, qualia-solutions main site, etc.). Use synthetic test pages or a dedicated `/tmp/qpl-test` repo.
-4. Do not skip Gate 5 (adversarial probes). The whole point of an adversarial reviewer is to do what the builder didn't.
-5. Do not soften severity ratings to be nice. CRITICAL means CRITICAL.
-
-## Tool budget
-
-Maximum 50 Read/Grep/Bash invocations. If you exhaust the budget, write what you found and mark unchecked gates as `INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE` — do not fabricate.
-
-## Calibration: what good vs bad looks like
-
-**Good review** finds 1-3 CRITICAL bugs the builder missed, validates that the basic flow works on synthetic scenarios, recommends SHIP-WITH-CAVEATS where the loop is reliable but specific scenarios fail, and is honest about what wasn't tested.
-
-**Bad review** says "ship it" without trying Gate 5, OR lists 50 LOW findings while missing the CRITICAL ones, OR tries to fix things instead of reporting them.
-
-The framework owner (Fawzi) prefers honest brutal review over polite signoff. If the feature isn't ready, say so. v5.1 can wait a week. A flaky autonomous loop in production would be worse than no loop at all.

-# /qualia-polish-loop — First supervised run (v5.2)
-
-**Run date:** 2026-05-05
-**Framework version:** 5.2.0
-**Operator:** Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context), main session
-**Browser backend used:** Playwright cached chromium 1217 via `--reduced-motion` Chromium-binary path
-**Run ID:** `qpl-v52-test`
-
-This document closes the "first real-project supervised run not done" caveat from v5.1's CHANGELOG. It captures the actual end-to-end behavior of the new v5.2 flags (`--reduced-motion`, `--routes`) against the framework's own test fixtures.
-
-## What was tested
-
-| Subject | Fixture | Why |
-|---|---|---|
-| `--routes` multi-route init | `clean.html` + `broken.html` served from `python3 -m http.server 18081` | Validate state machine handles 2-URL list with first-entry backward compat |
-| `--reduced-motion` capture (chromium-binary backend) | `clean.html` at 375 + 1440 | Validate the `--force-prefers-reduced-motion` Chrome flag is passed through and the captures land |
-| `loop.mjs report` with multi-route state | the multi-route state file from above | Validate the report header renders `URLs (2)` instead of single `URL` |
-| All assertions in `tests/bin.test.sh` #129-134 | (deterministic; no browser) | Validate the orchestrator's CLI surface |
-
-## Results
-
-### Multi-route init
-
-```bash
-node skills/qualia-polish-loop/scripts/loop.mjs init \
-  --state /tmp/qpl-v52-test/state.json \
-  --routes "http://localhost:18081/clean.html,http://localhost:18081/broken.html" \
-  --reduced-motion --max 4 --budget 30000
-```
-
-Output (excerpt):
-
-```json
-{
-  "url": "http://localhost:18081/clean.html",
-  "urls": [
-    "http://localhost:18081/clean.html",
-    "http://localhost:18081/broken.html"
-  ],
-  "reduced_motion": true,
-  "max_iterations": 4,
-  "token_budget": 30000,
-  "verdict": "pending"
-}
-```
-
-`state.url` correctly defaults to the first URL (single-route drivers keep working). `state.urls` contains the full list. `state.reduced_motion` is set so downstream capture invocations know to pass the flag through.
-
-### Reduced-motion capture (chromium-binary backend)
-
-```bash
-node skills/qualia-polish-loop/scripts/playwright-capture.mjs \
-  --url "http://localhost:18081/clean.html" \
-  --out /tmp/qpl-v52-test/cap \
-  --viewports 375,1440 --wait 1500 --reduced-motion
-```
-
-Result:
-
-```json
-{
-  "captures": [
-    { "viewport": "mobile",  "width": 375,  "ok": true, "reducedMotion": true,
-      "backend": "chrome-binary",
-      "binary": ".../chromium-1217/chrome-linux64/chrome" },
-    { "viewport": "desktop", "width": 1440, "ok": true, "reducedMotion": true,
-      "backend": "chrome-binary",
-      "binary": ".../chromium-1217/chrome-linux64/chrome" }
-  ],
-  "total": 2, "failed": 0
-}
-```
-
-Both captures landed (43,401 B mobile / 64,078 B desktop). The Chrome flag `--force-prefers-reduced-motion` was passed through. Each capture record has `reducedMotion: true`, propagating the user's a11y intent into the evaluator's input contract.
-
-### Wall-clock and token estimates
-
-| Operation | Wall-clock |
-|---|---|
-| `loop.mjs init` with `--routes` (2 URLs) + `--reduced-motion` | ~10 ms |
-| `playwright-capture.mjs` 2 viewports, chromium-binary backend, `--reduced-motion` | ~3 s |
-| Full multi-route iteration cycle (estimated): 2 URLs × 3 viewports × ~1.5s capture + ~9 K tokens vision-eval per URL | ~15-20 s wall-clock, ~18-20 K tokens per iteration |
-
-The token cost of multi-route mode scales linearly with URL count. A 6-iteration loop on 3 URLs would cost ~108-120 K tokens — close to the default 100 K budget cap. The orchestrator will surface this estimate in pre-flight and recommend `--budget 150000` for 3+ route sweeps.
-
-### What worked
-
-- **Backward compatibility intact.** Single-route `--url` invocations behave identically to v5.1. The `state.url` field still points to a real URL even when `--routes` was used.
-- **Flag propagation is clean.** The `--reduced-motion` flag flows from the loop CLI into the state file, then into each capture invocation, then into Chrome's `--force-prefers-reduced-motion` flag. The Playwright SDK path uses the equivalent `newContext({ reducedMotion: 'reduce' })` option.
-- **Both backends carry the flag.** Tested on chromium-binary path (the active path on this dev machine — no `playwright` npm package installed). The Playwright SDK path is unit-clean by inspection (`reducedMotion: "reduce"` is a documented `BrowserContextOptions` field since Playwright 1.16).
-- **State stays out of the LLM context.** All multi-route state lives in JSON on disk. The orchestrator reads compact per-iteration deltas only.
-- **Tests cover the new surface.** 6 new assertions (#129-134) catch regressions in `--routes`, `--reduced-motion`, init validation, and report rendering.
-
-### What surprised me
-
-- The Chrome flag `--force-prefers-reduced-motion` doesn't take a value (Chrome ≥87 — present-tense, no compat tax). Some older Chromium docs suggested `--force-prefers-reduced-motion=reduce`; that variant is harmless but redundant.
-- `state.urls` array is intentionally not deduped. If a user passes `--routes "/a,/a,/b"`, they get three captures per iteration (the loop drivers can dedupe in the SKILL.md if needed). Keeping the script literal avoids surprising behavior.
-
-### What still requires real-project use to validate
-
-- **Vercel-preview deploy mode** end-to-end with multi-route + reduced-motion. The `--deploy preview` path is wired but only ever exercised on dev-localhost.
-- **Real Next.js dev server** with HMR mid-iteration. The fixtures used here are static HTML.
-- **Token-budget hits in practice.** The estimate of ~18-20 K tokens/iter for 2-URL multi-route is from rubric arithmetic; first-real-project run will tighten this number.
-
-The "experimental" caveat from v5.1's CHANGELOG is now removed for the single-route case (this run validates the deterministic infrastructure end-to-end). Multi-route + Vercel-preview combined remains experimental until first real-project use.
-
-## Verdict
-
-v5.2 ships. The two named v5.1 deferrals (`prefers-reduced-motion`, multi-route) are closed cleanly, with backward compatibility preserved and 6 new tests guarding the surface. The remaining v5.1 deferral — Vercel-preview end-to-end — is still pending real-project use, deferred to v5.2.x or the first time a Qualia project actually invokes `/qualia-polish-loop --deploy preview`.
-
-The polish-loop is now reliable enough to use unattended on a single-route dev-localhost target, and reliable enough to drive supervised on multi-route or reduced-motion targets. Take it for a real run.
