 ## [Unreleased]

+
+### Added
+
+- **MCP `gflow_list_models`** ([#883](https://github.com/ffroliva/gflow-cli/issues/883)).
+  MCP clients can now read the model catalog that `gflow models --json` prints (names,
+  Flow menu labels, accepted aliases, reference caps, durations, aspects, tiers) instead
+  of hard-coding one. It needs no profile or browser and spends nothing.
+
+- **`GFLOW_CLI_PROJECT` sets a default project**
+  ([#1039](https://github.com/ffroliva/gflow-cli/issues/1039), reported by @error-Sench).
+  Every generation run without `--project` used to create a new Flow project, so a loop
+  of `image t2i` calls left one project per call. Set `GFLOW_CLI_PROJECT=<id>` (in the
+  environment or `.env`) and `image t2i`/`i2i`, `video t2v`/`i2v`/`r2v`, `gflow run`
+  and the MCP generate tools use that project instead, printing a line on stderr that
+  says so. `--project` and a typed `--project-name` still win (`GFLOW_CLI_PROJECT_NAME`
+  names the pinned project instead). It is never used by `extend`, `upscale`, `scene`,
+  `character` or `instructions`, where `--project` means a specific existing project;
+  `image batch` and `image upload` have no `--project` and are unchanged. A pin the local catalog records only under another profile is
+  refused before a browser starts (exit 2), because a project belongs to one account.
+
+- **`gflow models` shows the name Flow's menu uses**
+  ([#1038](https://github.com/ffroliva/gflow-cli/issues/1038), reported by @error-Sench).
+  Each image model now has a `label` in the table and in `--json`: Nano Banana 2.1,
+  Nano Banana Pro, Nano Banana 2 Lite. `NARWHAL`'s label also names labs' Nano Banana 2,
+  and Imagen 4 is marked as no longer in Flow's menu. `--model nano2.1` and `nano-2.1`
+  (and the same values in a batch file, a `gflow run` config and over MCP) now select
+  the `nano2` tier, the one Flow calls 2.1. `character create --model` keeps its own two
+  choices. A model-selector hint on flow.google.com named `nano-banana-2`, which `--model`
+  rejects; it now says `nano2`.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **A rejected upload (exit 27) now writes an incident bundle**
+  ([#770](https://github.com/ffroliva/gflow-cli/issues/770)). The error can only say that
+  some dialog opened after the file was chosen; the bundle's screenshot shows which one.
+
+- **An upscale or extend on the same client after a flow.google.com run no
+  longer fails with a reCAPTCHA error** ([#914](https://github.com/ffroliva/gflow-cli/issues/914)).
+  After an image, video or upload run gflow parks its page on `about:blank`, and the
+  next call read that page as the labs host and tried to mint reCAPTCHA there. The
+  route now remembers that the page was parked from flow.google.com. This was reachable when one
+  `FlowApiClient` was reused in a script; a single CLI run or MCP task was not affected.
+
+- **A failed download of a finished, billed clip is no longer marked `retryable`**
+  ([#941](https://github.com/ffroliva/gflow-cli/issues/941), part 1). `MediaDownloadError`
+  inherited `retryable: true` from `NetworkError`. A scheduler that re-runs anything
+  retryable would generate, and pay for, the clip a second time. On the generation
+  downloads (flow.google.com and labs), the clip writer and the image download (whose
+  re-run spends daily quota again), it is now `retryable: false`
+  in `--json`, MCP envelopes and the worker record. The fix is `gflow data download` /
+  `gflow_download_media`, which spends nothing and stays `retryable: true`. Exit code 6
+  is unchanged.
+
+- **flow.google.com failure diagnostics no longer leak account identifiers**
+  ([#890](https://github.com/ffroliva/gflow-cli/issues/890)). When the image submit
+  button was covered, the drift error named the covering element with its raw `id` and
+  class list, which on a signed-in page can hold the account email. It now names only
+  the tag and framework class tokens (`div.glue-cookie-notification-bar`), as the click
+  post-mortem already did. The composer also stopped writing its own screenshot and
+  DOM snapshot into `<out>/ui-failures/`. Those files sat outside the incident bundle's
+  review boundary and retention, and the snapshot carried the page title. The incident
+  bundle still captures both.
+  The same holds on the remaining paths
+  ([#1062](https://github.com/ffroliva/gflow-cli/issues/1062)): the labs count-panel DOM
+  dump (page title, element ids, class lists, labels and text) is removed, the debug
+  screenshots written next to your output now follow `GFLOW_CLI_INCIDENT_CAPTURE`, and
+  agent-mode recovery errors show the page URL without its query.
+
+- **A profile open in your own Chrome window is now exit 11 with a clear message, not
+  an unexpected error** ([#984](https://github.com/ffroliva/gflow-cli/issues/984)). When
+  a Chrome you opened yourself holds the profile, Chrome refuses gflow's launch with
+  "the profile is already in use by another instance". That text matched none of the
+  checks for a stale gflow browser, so `credits user` (and any generation command)
+  ended in `UnexpectedError`, exit 1. It is now `ProfileLockedError` (exit 11, MCP
+  `profile-locked`), telling you to close that window or use another `--profile`.
+  `auth login` (both `--browser internal`, which exited 1, and `--browser chrome`,
+  which fell back to a second launch and exited 8) and the Playwright cookie read do
+  the same ([#1059](https://github.com/ffroliva/gflow-cli/issues/1059)).
+
+- **`gflow image batch` reports manifest errors as exit 11, like `gflow run`**
+  ([#935](https://github.com/ffroliva/gflow-cli/issues/935)). The same malformed row
+  exited 11 under `gflow run --config` and 2 under `gflow image batch`. A manifest's
+  contents are configuration, so both now exit 11 with a `Manifest error:` line. That
+  includes a row `ref`, which `image batch` does not support. Scripts that branched on
+  exit 2 for a bad `image batch` manifest need to check 11.
+
+- **Image and video generation into a `--project` id Flow will not open now fails in
+  seconds with exit 11, not as selector drift** ([#974](https://github.com/ffroliva/gflow-cli/issues/974)). Flow
+  answers such an id with its `flow.google.com/404?reason=project` page; gflow waited
+  30 s for the composer and reported exit 23 ("Flow's UI changed"), telling a user with a
+  typo the wrong cause. It now recognises that page by its URL and stops with a
+  configuration error naming the id as not found or not accessible to the account, not
+  retryable, on the CLI and over MCP (`image t2i`/`i2i`, `video t2v`/`i2v`/`r2v`,
+  `gflow run`). `image upscale`, `video upscale` and `video extend` into such a project
+  now end with the same exit 11 instead of exit 23 or a transport timeout (exit 9)
+  ([#1053](https://github.com/ffroliva/gflow-cli/issues/1053)). They still wait out
+  their own page budget (about 30 s) first.
+
+- **A downloaded clip's media id is checked before it becomes a filename**
+  ([#1004](https://github.com/ffroliva/gflow-cli/issues/1004)). Hardening: the local
+  branch of the shared clip saver, used by the flow.google.com and agent-only video
+  downloads, wrote `<media_id>.mp4` without the check the cloud branch applied, and so
+  did `gflow data download`'s flow.google.com recovery. An id holding a path separator
+  is now refused before anything is written.
+
+- **A cloud storage URI with `video -o`, `video chain`, `movie run --stitch` or MCP
+  `output` is refused before billing** ([#1008](https://github.com/ffroliva/gflow-cli/issues/1008)). With
+  `GFLOW_CLI_STORAGE_URI` set to `s3://` or `gs://`, the clip comes back as a bucket
+  object, which `-o/--output` and the MCP video `output` could not move to a local path
+  and `video chain` and `movie run --stitch` could not hand to ffmpeg. Each failed with a raw exception after
+  Flow had billed the clip. gflow now stops before submitting, with exit 11 (an MCP
+  configuration error) naming the setting.
+
+- **`video upscale` no longer says "Image upscale unavailable"**
+  ([#966](https://github.com/ffroliva/gflow-cli/issues/966)). Exit 22's title, shared by
+  the image and video upscale paths, is now "Upscale unavailable for this account" in the
+  CLI message, `--json` and MCP error envelopes. The exit code and `type` are unchanged. A refused
+  2K image upscale no longer advises `--scale 2k`.

 **Privacy:** the automatic artifacts (`manifest.json`, `ui.json`, `network.json`, `browser.json`, and the pre-filled `report.md` bug-report template) are built from an explicit allowlist — no prompts, tokens, cookies, headers, request/response bodies, signed URLs, raw page titles, raw error/console text, or unknown hosts/routes ever enter them. The screenshot is inherently sensitive (it can show your account identity, prompts, and media) and therefore lives under the bundle's `sensitive/` subdirectory — **review it before sharing**. Nothing is ever uploaded; retention is bounded (at most 50 complete bundles / 250 MiB, pruned oldest-first at startup). Raw HAR capture stays separate and strictly opt-in via `GFLOW_CLI_HAR_PATH`.

Three documents are corrected rather than patched — a KNOWN_ISSUES entry that told #719's reader this dialog did not affect gflow-cli, and a v0.71.0 host label calling `ci-probe` *labs* when it is migrated, which helped a credit-based theory survive four runs. Recorded as NOT verified: #719's second failure shape — an upload request that leaves the page and is never answered, ~1 run in 4 — which is unfixed and keeps #719 open.) · previous: [LIVE_VERIFICATION_v0.71.0](LIVE_VERIFICATION_v0.71.0.md) (**`gflow character create --voice` verified end to end for the first time, 2026-09-07 on profile `ffroliva`.** Before this release a repo-wide grep for `--voice` across `tests/e2e/` matched **nothing** — every voice test was a unit test of the hardcoded `VOICES` constant and the one that looked live parsed a fixture, so a voice that silently failed to attach was invisible to the whole suite while the command exited 0. A live create + `character show` read-back settles a contradiction between two of our own documents: `sent='Charon' stored='Charon' identical=True`, so the Capitalized canonical form round-trips and `CHARACTER_RECON.md`'s "preset id is the lowercased name" does not describe today's wire. Both docs also now record that `personalityNotes` is **Agent-scoped** per Flow's own editor copy, not a control on the audio engine. **A claim that was in the code is overturned:** the `_unported_form` entity guard said the submit "never produces a reply" and that the backend refuses — in fact `MZZa6b` replies with a null payload and the generation is **accepted and queued** (Flow types it `abra_r2v_8s` and renders it); the failure is the *observer*, which waits out `SUBMIT_REPLY_BUDGET_S` (60 s, calibrated on 4.0–4.6 s replies against an idle queue) and exits 9 while the video is still rendering. The guard stays until the observer is fixed, because a timeout reported on a healthy generation is worse than an explicit refusal. Also verified: credit shortfall reports exit **37** with `_raise_if_out_of_credits` called from **both** give-up paths — and it is *short for the selected model*, not empty (the measured account held **50** and asked for `veo-quality`, which costs **100**); the "+ New project" CTA anchored structurally on `add` (Tier-1 matches **1** where every previous entry matched **0**, control 47 ligature nodes) after this same release first asserted the control did not exist and a $0 run disproved it in one click; and the incident-bundle DOM dump de-blinded — it queried `i.google-symbols` only, so **every bundle a migrated user sent carried an empty ligature list**, which is why #727 and #731 stayed invisible. One item recorded as NOT verified rather than omitted: whether a bound character's **voice reaches rendered audio** (#738) — attachment is proven, application is not, because no entity-bound generation has yet returned a file to measure. The blocker is no longer credits or account access but retrieval, and the measurement is pre-calibrated: plate-bound takes of one character gave **88 / 103 / 118 Hz** against a **4.3 Hz** engine noise floor, so an applied Algenib should sit near its sample's **163.3 Hz**.) · previous: [LIVE_VERIFICATION_v0.70.0](LIVE_VERIFICATION_v0.70.0.md) (**reference-to-video on the migrated `flow.google.com` host, verified 2026-09-06 on profile `denon82`.** Three r2v runs bound their references every time; the decisive one is semantic rather than structural — two hand-drawn reference images went in and the clip came back carrying the same marker strokes, face and paper texture, which is what separates "Flow bound the reference" from "Flow accepted and ignored it".

The Rich escape fix is verified on the **console render separated from the structlog JSON** — matching the JSON line would have been a false pass, since `--json` was never affected — with a **neutered control** through the same Rich version reproducing the bug exactly: `UNESCAPED -> pip install 'gflow-cli'` against `ESCAPED -> pip install 'gflow-cli[chain]'`.

Verified by an e2e that drives the account INTO agent mode and carries its own neutered-selector control; run **twice**, because review fixes landed after the first run and it no longer covered the code. **The larger find:** an account's FIRST upload on this host is blocked by Flow's one-time *"Rights to use this image"* dialog, which renders *after* the file chooser hands the file over — so `_dismiss_dialog` never sees it and the driver spent 60 s waiting for a request the page had already declined to make, then advised re-encoding the image.

A live create + `character show` read-back settles a contradiction between two of our own documents: `sent='Charon' stored='Charon' identical=True`, so the Capitalized canonical form round-trips and `CHARACTER_RECON.md`'s "preset id is the lowercased name" does not describe today's wire. Both docs also now record that `personalityNotes` is **Agent-scoped** per Flow's own editor copy, not a control on the audio engine. **A claim that was in the code is overturned:** the `_unported_form` entity guard said the submit "never produces a reply" and that the backend refuses — in fact `MZZa6b` replies with a null payload and the generation is **accepted and queued** (Flow types it `abra_r2v_8s` and renders it); the failure is the *observer*, which waits out `SUBMIT_REPLY_BUDGET_S` (60 s, calibrated on 4.0–4.6 s replies against an idle queue) and exits 9 while the video is still rendering.

Pre-capture research recons: [ASSET_TAGGING_RECON](ASSET_TAGGING_RECON.md) (`@`-mention asset tagging — shipped in v0.40.0, see [LIVE_VERIFICATION_v0.40.0](LIVE_VERIFICATION_v0.40.0.md)).
 **"What was live-verified for v0.66.1?"** → [LIVE_VERIFICATION_v0.66.1](LIVE_VERIFICATION_v0.66.1.md) — **the two migrated-origin fixes, verified 2026-09-03 on profile `ffroliva` at ZERO credits, on BOTH sides of what was then read as a flapping rollout** (superseded 2026-09-04: the handoff is a one-way per-account flag and exit 36 is non-retryable since). On a real `flow.google.com` load `get_ui_driver` raised `FlowHostMigratedError` in **0 ms** (was ~36 s: ~8 s detect window + ~24 s crop cascade + 4 s URL settle), exit 36, `retryable: true` (then; `false` since 2026-09-04), `ui_driver.migrated_host_bail` logged; `await_url_settled` returned `null` in **0 ms** (measured 4018 ms before); and the locale was recovered as `en` from `html lang=en-GB` where the URL gave `null`. The no-regression half is the stronger evidence: minutes later the same command landed on the OLD host and completed **exit 0** with a real 768x1376 JPEG in 42.2 s, proving the host guard is scoped and does not short-circuit the working path. Three items recorded as NOT verified rather than omitted: driving the migrated frontend (still impossible, #639 stays open), the pt-BR recovery live (measured `html lang=pt` on `denon82` but exercised live only on `en-GB`), and the `en-GB`→`en` region reduction against a locale where region is load-bearing (`zh-Hans`/`zh-Hant`) — only two locales observed.

 `gflow instructions` and generation commands take `--project <id>` to target a
 specific project's brief. Generation with `--project` uses that project's **active**

+# Live verification — v0.89.0
+
+> Evidence for this release, gathered on 2026-10-23 (PRs #1047–#1069). Every row below was a
+> run someone watched, not an inference. Where a check could not be run, the blocker is named.
+
+## Environment
+
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| Profiles | `ffroliva` and `denon82` (real-browser Chrome strategy), `ci-probe` for the held-profile checks |
+| Host Flow served | `flow.google.com`, classic composer |
+| Transport | `ui_automation` → migrated composer / migrated upscale / migrated extend |
+| OS | Windows 11 (Google Chrome installed) |
+| Tree | release branch `chore/release-v0.89.0`, cut from `develop@f56f94ec` |
+| Veo credits spent | none (video submits in the frame test are aborted before they leave the page; video exports are $0). Image daily quota: about 6 images |
+
+## Release e2e on the release tree
+
+One batch, `-m e2e` on `ffroliva`, project `c59b5464-…`: **20 cases, 19 passed first time, 1 passed
+on re-run** (`test_e2e_mcp_image_generates_into_the_pinned_project` first hit Flow's "ogiZ0b submit
+reply body unreadable", the #1010 case; re-run alone it passed in 30 s).
+
+## Summary
+
+| Change | Surface | Verified live? | Cost |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `gflow models` shows Flow's names; `nano2.1` alias (#1038) | `gflow models`, `--model`, MCP `model` | ✅ `test_e2e_mcp_t2i_accepts_the_nano2_1_alias` 1/1 (the picker chose the "2.1" entry for `NARWHAL`); CLI `image t2i --model nano2.1 --json` → `status: ok` on the PR branch | 1 image |
+| MCP `gflow_list_models` (#883) | MCP | ✅ in CI on every PR: the live-serve smoke calls it over Streamable HTTP against a spawned `gflow serve` and compares it with `build_catalog()` | $0 |
+| `GFLOW_CLI_PROJECT` default project (#1039) | `image t2i/i2i`, `video t2v/i2v/r2v`, `gflow run`, MCP generate tools | ✅ `test_default_project_e2e.py` 2/2 on the release tree: CLI t2i (stderr names the pin, every catalogued image in the pinned project) and the MCP image tool | 2 images |
+| A `--project` Flow will not open → exit 11 (#974, #1053) | generation, `gflow run`, image/video upscale, video extend, MCP | ✅ `test_missing_project_e2e.py` 2/2 (CLI exit 11 in 15.8 s, was exit 23 after 40 s on develop) and `test_missing_project_upscale_extend_e2e.py` 4/4 | $0 |
+| A profile open in your own Chrome → exit 11 (#984, #1059) | credits, generation, `auth login` | ✅ on the PR branches, `ci-probe` held by a plain `chrome.exe --user-data-dir=<profile>` (stopped by PID afterwards): `credits user` exit 11 (was 1), MCP `profile-locked`, `auth login --browser internal` exit 11 (was 1), `--browser chrome` exit 11 (was 8) | $0 |
+| Cloud storage + local-file options refused before billing (#1008) | `video -o`, `video chain`, `movie run --stitch`, MCP `output` | offline only: the refusal runs before any browser and tests show no client is constructed. No bucket is configured here | $0 |
+| Billed downloads not `retryable` (#941 part 1) | `--json`, MCP, worker | offline only: needs a CDN reset on every attempt, which cannot be produced on demand | $0 |
+| Diagnostics privacy (#890, #1062) | migrated submit gate, debug screenshots, recovery errors | ✅ CLI `image t2i` through the changed submit-gate JS on the PR branch: `status: ok`, no `ui-failures/` directory. Real-Chromium unit test shows the email no longer reaches the error text | 1 image |
+| Warm-client upscale after an image run (#914) | `FlowApiClient` reuse | ✅ `test_warm_client_upscale_e2e.py` 1/1 on the release tree (62 s); on develop the same sequence failed with `RecaptchaError` | 1 image |
+| Pre-submit gate on the real editor (#892) | migrated image submit | ✅ `test_migrated_presubmit_gate_e2e.py` 1/1 on the release tree and on `denon82` (PR); cookie bar absent both times, so the dismissal branch itself was not exercised | $0 |
+| Standalone launch window position (#927) | `UiAutomationTransport.setup(page=None)` | ✅ `test_standalone_window_position_e2e.py` 2/2: default lands at `-21845,-21845` (Windows' clamp), `0,0` at `0,0` | $0 |
+| Video export e2e skips on a capability refusal (#967) | test | ✅ 1080p and 270p GIF 2/2 on the release tree (`ffroliva` offers them); on `denon82` the 1080p arm skipped after 3 clips were refused | $0 |
+| Frame binding on flow.google.com (#860, closed) | `video i2v` local frames | ✅ `test_e2e_end_frame_binds_the_second_chip_and_submits_interpolation` 1/1 on the release tree (submit aborted, body asserted) | $0 |
+| `image batch` manifest errors exit 11 (#935) | `gflow image batch` | offline only: the refusal happens before any browser (tests assert no client); exit-code plumbing | $0 |
+| Media id checked before it becomes a filename (#1004) | clip saver, `data download` recovery | offline only: hardening, an unsafe id never comes from Flow's UUID-shaped replies; unit tests on both sites | $0 |
+| Exit 22 title is media-neutral (#966) | `video upscale` / `image upscale` errors | offline only: error text; no Flow surface touched | $0 |
+| A rejected upload writes an incident bundle (#770) | uploads on flow.google.com | offline only: needs Flow to raise an unexpected dialog during upload, which cannot be produced on demand | $0 |
+| Regression: session checks | `auth status` | ✅ `test_auth_verification_e2e.py` 4/4 on the release tree | $0 |
+
+## Not verified
+
+- **#1008 with a real `s3://`/`gs://` bucket**: blocker, no bucket configured here; the refusal is
+  pre-browser and covered offline.
+- **#941's exhausted-download path**: blocker, a connection reset on all three attempts cannot be
+  produced on demand against live Flow.
+- **#892's dismissal branch**: Flow showed no cookie bar on either account today; the test asserts
+  the invariant, so a run where the bar appears covers it unchanged.
+- **#984/#1059 on macOS, and a read-only profile outside Windows**: blocker, no macOS host.
+- **#770 live**: blocker, the exit-27 dialog cannot be raised on demand; the capture trigger is unit-tested.
+- **#1062's labs count-panel path**: blocker, labs.google 308s to flow.google.com for every account
+  we hold.
+
+## Observed, not changed
+
+- Flow's "ogiZ0b submit reply body unreadable" (#1010) hit 3 of about 9 image submits on
+  `ffroliva` today. gflow reports it correctly (exit 9, not retryable, "check the project before
+  re-running"); the rate is Flow-side.
+- An upscale immediately after generating can miss the brand-new tile (exit 23): filed as #1067.
