 - Documentation is a first-class deliverable. Every behavior, workflow, config, or operator-facing change must update the relevant docs or state why no docs changed in the PR/checklist. `scripts/ci/check_doc_links.py` is a merge gate.
 - **A PR is not done until its SonarCloud gate is green (zero new issues).** The ten gates above are local/pre-commit; SonarCloud is server-side and runs in CI (`sonar.qualitygate.wait=true` → a red gate turns the `SonarCloud analysis` check red). Before calling a PR merge-ready, verify it with `/gflow:sonar <N>` (it is skipped on fork PRs — maintainer-checked there).
 - **E2E is the decisive layer, and it is required for every behavior change that touches a Flow surface.** Run the `tests/e2e/` test that covers the change, or write one — offline-green proves only that *our* code does what we think, never that Flow still behaves as captured. `/gflow:live-verify` does **not** satisfy this: it drives CLI commands by hand into a gitignored note and never runs `pytest -m e2e`. The two are complementary — an e2e test is a re-runnable regression, a live-verify ledger is a narrative record. A change touching no Flow surface at all (docs, help text, exit-code plumbing) is out of scope — say so explicitly rather than leaving it blank. Anything else follows the **Iron Law** above: run it, or name the external blocker that stops you. "A maintainer will run it" is a handoff, not a verification, and is only available once the blocker is named.

+**What:** Kill switches for the local usage counters (#1164): which commands and flags are used, exit codes and coarse duration buckets, stored weekly in `<GFLOW_CLI_HOME>/telemetry.db`. No prompts, paths, account data or identifiers are recorded.
+**Values:** `GFLOW_CLI_TELEMETRY` counts only when unset or one of `1` / `true` / `on` (case-insensitive); any other value, including a typo, turns it off. `DO_NOT_TRACK` turns it off when set to anything except empty, `0` or `false`.
+**Where honoured:** the process environment, `<GFLOW_CLI_HOME>/.env` and the working-directory `.env`. Any one of them can turn counting off; none can turn it back on. The result is read once per process.
+**Never fails a command:** an invalid value is not a configuration error (it does not exit 11).

 ### `GFLOW_CLI_LEASE_WAIT_SECONDS`
 
 **What:** How long a command waits for another gflow process to release the profile lease before giving up with `ProfileLockedError` (exit 11). The default `0` keeps the historical fail-fast behavior. With a positive value, the waiter polls the kernel lock (0.5 s cadence) and simply takes over when the current holder — a CLI command or a `gflow serve` daemon task, both of which release at their natural end — finishes. Holders are never interrupted or asked to release early.

Both accounts settled at **`/about`**, which is the state that broke this release's *withdrawn* #791 oracle, and the exit-39 signal reads a component that only exists on the unavailable screen, so `/about` cannot mimic it. mcpservers.org is verified with a **404 negative control** because the listing 403s to `curl` and a naive check would have called the link dead. **#791 is NOT in this release and was withdrawn rather than deferred**: a fix passed eight council dimensions and was then refuted by a five-day-old spike nobody had routed to it — Flow's `/about` hop is decided client-side with zero requests to Flow, and *"the backend grants access while the frontend declines to open it"* (#756), so the probe would have reported authenticated users as logged out, reintroducing #791 as its own cure; the e2e caught it by going red on a live account whose state moved mid-session. **Two rows are blocked by the platform rather than by effort:** the Docker sign-in needs a WSL-integrated Docker host, and the MCP Registry publish cannot be observed until this very tag reaches `main`, since both triggers resolve the workflow from the default branch.) · previous: [LIVE_VERIFICATION_v0.75.0](LIVE_VERIFICATION_v0.75.0.md) (**a distribution-and-hardening release, verified 2026-09-15 on `ffroliva` at ZERO cost — no Veo credits, no image generation, no Flow submit.** The `gflow serve` token fix is an **A/B against the released 0.74.0 wheel from PyPI**, not a diff read: the token was *set* in both arms, so the probe measures whether it is checked — before, `no token 200/200` with 13 tools listed and `wrong 200/200`; after, `401/401` with zero tools and `WWW-Authenticate: Bearer realm="gflow"`, while the correct token still gets 200. Loopback DNS-rebinding was re-confirmed at **421**/**403** because the fix forwards the bind host and getting that wrong would silently disable protection that works today — and an earlier draft of the accompanying advisory claimed that protection was *disabled*, a false claim caught by measuring rather than re-reading. #813's guard is verified against a **real wheel in a real venv installed without extras**, the arm first proving it is in that state (`av present: False  PIL present: False`); the decisive row is that a **nonexistent** manifest still exits **20** on the dependency error rather than file-not-found, which is what shows the guard precedes the manifest read and not merely the generation. 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]'`. Also: `gflow-cli.exe` exists in the built wheel so `uvx gflow-cli` resolves at all, and the wheel carries 138 entries with **zero** ZIP duplicates. **Three items recorded as NOT verified rather than omitted:** a successful multi-link `chain` run spends Veo credits and stays outstanding e2e debt on #813 — what changed is the refusal path, which *is* verified; `gflow credits` against a working balance is impossible here because the account still returns 401, pre-existing **#795** and unrelated to this release; and the SSE arm of the token fix was exercised on loopback only, a deliberate scope limit, since binding a LAN address to test it would put an authenticated daemon on a live network for the run. **Two rows are blocked by the platform rather than by effort:** the PyPI metadata and the MCP Registry listing are both unobservable until this release is uploaded — PyPI renders the last artefact's metadata, and `mcp-publisher` reads its ownership token out of the *published* README.) · previous: [LIVE_VERIFICATION_v0.74.0](LIVE_VERIFICATION_v0.74.0.md) (**the migrated driver's run-unique uploads and its Frames-picker confirm, plus the `credits` remediation, verified 2026-09-14 on `ffroliva` at ZERO cost — every arm is a read or an upload-and-stop.** The confirm branch is the interesting one: this cohort's picker closes on its own, so the branch would never execute against live Flow by accident, and the e2e drives `FRAME_COMMIT_GRACE_S` to **0.001** so the grace expires before Flow can auto-close and **every** run enters it — the difference between a named blocker and an unrun claim.

Both arms exit **23** on the same `.settings-trigger-button` drift at `flow.google.com/404?reason=project`, so the arms differ only in what was *captured*, never in what failed. **The reporter's own bundle contained the refutation of their diagnosis**: viewport 1280x720 is `client.py`'s client-owned page, not the 1920x1080 a stray transport tab would have — it was always the driven page, photographed one navigation too late, and the portrait correlation had no mechanism behind it. The existing quality benchmark could not have caught this: it captures deliberately on a **healthy** page, so it graded only bundles that were never at risk. **Recorded as NOT verified rather than omitted:** #796's `PROFILE_MARKER_MISSING` is offline-only because its live trigger is a cookie-store **decryption** failure, which does not occur on Windows/DPAPI — it is the macOS Keychain path of [#768](https://github.com/ffroliva/gflow-cli/issues/768), a **named external blocker**, and the issue stays open; a synthetic attempt to force it failed informatively, since a corrupt store raises `sqlite3.DatabaseError`, bypasses the marker gate and still prints "check network connectivity" — the same misdirection from a different trigger, untouched here. #795's remediation string is unit-asserted only, and the *other* half of #795 — `credits` being labs-only on migrated accounts — is **not fixed**.) · previous: [LIVE_VERIFICATION_v0.73.1](LIVE_VERIFICATION_v0.73.1.md) (**Google's `glue` consent bar covering the migrated composer, measured and then cured, 2026-09-11 on `ci-probe` for one image generation and no Veo credits.** The premise was nearly rejected: both prior sightings of that selector in this repo are labs.google, and the 2026-09-10 spike had read 159 DOM samples on this exact host and project and watched the click land 3/3 — it simply never looked for a cookie bar. Seventeen hours later the bar was up: `position: fixed`, `z-index: 1000`, spanning y 547-655 of a 655 px viewport, with `elementFromPoint` over the settings trigger AND over the image submit both returning `span#glue-cookie-notification-bar-1-label` in **0 of 5** rendered samples hit-testable. **The control arm is what makes it a cure rather than a coincidence**: the same probe re-run through the driver's own `_dismiss_cookie_bar` restored both controls to **4/4**, one attempt, no error.

A second arm **falsified a claim already written into PR #775's body**: it said the change fixed the RED canary, and the live run showed `denon82` had moved to `accounts.google.com` mid-run, a landing the classifier excluded **by design**, with a unit test encoding the wrong reason — the offline suite was green throughout and could not have caught it. #776's happy path is verified by a real `gflow image t2i` (exit 0, 367 135-byte JPEG, `image_settings_applied` and `prompt_typed` both present, so **three of the four converted click sites** clicked successfully through the new helper); its **failure** path is real Chromium driving a page we wrote, which proves the mechanism and explicitly **not** that Flow still produces that state. **Three items recorded as NOT verified rather than omitted:** the `/about` redirect stopped reproducing (**0/5**, reported as *unmeasured* rather than argued into a retry flag), the `/fx/api/auth/*` landing moved before the run reached it, and #764's *success* path — an external contribution whose error boundary this release verifies but whose auto-selection needs an account currently behind a Google password challenge.

The manual path was obtained by widening the poll interval for one run so the competing branch could not fire; the 2FA path by killing the profile's own Chrome, because hand-timing lost every race on a host that completes passkey sign-in in ~15 s. **Recorded as NOT verified rather than omitted:** the migrated-host image slice (#692) was **re-run this cycle** — CLI `t2i` PASSED first-hand on a moved account, while the queued-MCP `i2i` twin failed with a typed non-retryable exit 27 whose **cause is unknown** — some dialog opened after the file was chosen and no `maseQ` left the page, on an account that has ALREADY consented, so the message's "most likely the one-time upload-terms dialog" does not fit; no incident bundle was written, so nothing names the dialog, and it is filed for a spike rather than guessed; the subprocess fallback is unit-tested only; and the OAuth-callback *mechanism* behind the poll fix is **inferred, not proven** — a host-only gate does not exclude NextAuth's callback, since it runs on the app's own origin, yet all four sign-ins passed under it, so #769 carries the spike that would settle it.) · previous: [LIVE_VERIFICATION_v0.71.1](LIVE_VERIFICATION_v0.71.1.md) (**two migrated-host error paths stopped blaming the wrong thing, 2026-09-08, $0 across three profiles.** The agent-mode recovery landed earlier in this same release (#749) and worked, but its first cut collapsed three outcomes into one message — chip clicked / chip found but click blocked / chip clicked and mode still on — so a modal eating the click sent users to toggle a chip that was never the problem, and genuine selector drift *after* the mode was left was filed under an account setting the driver had already changed. 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. Six runs on `ci-probe` close the chain: guard fires while the dialog is up → owner-authorised accept → uploads (`media_id 8914400f`) → fresh session uploads clean with `dialog: None`. The order was forced, because the dialog is one-off and accepting it destroys the failing state — so the guard was written and verified BEFORE anything was clicked, and its firing branch is now unrepeatable here. `maseQ` is confirmed **not** renamed (six uploads, three profiles), killing #719's top hypothesis. Also: Flow's queue listing is on **`Zzl0ze`**, not the `jwpduf`/`as29s` progress polls, and two `abra_r2v_8s` records sat at status 6 for ~20 h unseen by any CLI command (#741). 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.

One item is recorded as NOT verified rather than omitted: `--duration 10` + end frame is **submit-verified only** (`duration_set seconds=10` on the correct route with both images bound), because the status poll returned HTTP 401 mid-run and a retry 401'd at `project.create` before submitting — [#561](https://github.com/ffroliva/gflow-cli/issues/561), pre-existing, so verification was stopped rather than spending further credits on an environmental fault.) · previous: [LIVE_VERIFICATION_v0.63.0](LIVE_VERIFICATION_v0.63.0.md) (**`gflow video extend` — continuing a clip past Flow's 8s ceiling, verified 2026-09-01 on profile `ffroliva`, 20 Veo credits.** The decisive observation is that segment 2's `source_media_id` **is** segment 1's `media_id` (`0c9364f3…` seeded from `b9458021…`, then `648f9291…` seeded from `0c9364f3…`) — tail-only chaining, which no mock can establish; had it re-seeded from the source, the output would have been two divergent continuations of the same moment instead of one continuous shot. `extend_model_resolved` logged `candidate_count=99` against `SERVICE_TIER_INTERMEDIATE`, proving the key came from the live capability listing rather than a constant, and plan cost matched actual spend (`20 credits total, balance 875` → `Extended — 2/2 segment(s), 20 credits`). Render: 23.02s / 1280×720 / 24fps / h264+aac. **The run found a defect the offline suite is structurally incapable of seeing:** an extend segment carries **7.000000s** of content, not the 8 Flow advertises and bills, so server-side concat pads every internal seam with a frozen frame and digital silence (15s at −75.1 dB against −29 neighbours, reproduced on a second independent render) — filed in KNOWN_ISSUES with the three questions that must be answered before any clamp, and the reason `--extend N` on t2v/i2v was deliberately NOT shipped. Seven items are recorded as NOT verified rather than omitted: portrait `9:16`, `--aspect` against a mismatched source, chains longer than 2 segments, `--resume-from` against a live partial scene, the insufficient-credits refusal, a live Ctrl+C, and `OperationKind.EXTEND` rows.) · previous: [LIVE_VERIFICATION_v0.62.1](LIVE_VERIFICATION_v0.62.1.md) (**#604 `--model omni-flash` selects again after Flow's `Omni Flash` → `Omni 1.1 Flash` rename, verified 2026-08-30 on profile `ffroliva` at ZERO Veo credits.** The production `_select_video_model` was driven against the real picker: the shipped selector resolves verbatim — `model_selected model=omni_flash via="[role='menuitem']:has-text('Omni'):has-text('Flash'):not(:has-text('[Lower Priority]'))"` — and all six cases came back as expected: the four offered tiers SELECT, a tier Flow does not offer REFUSES, and a deliberately ambiguous selector REFUSES rather than resolving `.first`. Selection happens before submit, so the whole matrix is free. The transport's own refusal diagnostic read the live menu back as `Omni 1.1 Flash / Veo 3.1 - Lite / Fast / Quality`, independently corroborating the fixture. Four items are recorded as NOT verified rather than omitted: the rename *direction* [the `Omni Flash` baseline is a different account, locale and date], an actual `Omni ... [Lower Priority]` entry [Flow has never offered one], a full credit-spending generation on omni-flash, and #539's absence question, which stays open.) · previous: [LIVE_VERIFICATION_v0.62.0](LIVE_VERIFICATION_v0.62.0.md) (**#595 `auto` ≡ `classic` for images, verified 2026-08-28 on profile `ci-probe` — an account Flow had moved to the agentic cohort the day before — at ZERO Veo credits.** With no flags and no env vars the run logged `ui_driver.ui_mode.attempt_exit_agent` → `ui_driver.bound mode=classic ui_mode=classic` and generated a real 768x1376 JPEG (exit 0); the day before, the identical command on the same account bound `auto`→`agentic` and failed. The same log independently closed **#183**: `mode_switch_trigger` and `image_mode_tab`, the selectors it reported as unfindable, both matched. #591 was proven against the real 500-row catalog — **0** occurrences of the string `"None"`, 31 proper JSON `null`s, over a catalog holding 119 NULL-bearing rows. #592 shows exactly one `client.account_locale_cached` per command. Three items are recorded as NOT verified rather than omitted: the exit-28 abort on a *pinned* agentic account, the #597 batch inter-prompt guard, and any fresh announcement modal — the last two because all three accounts have already acked the current changelog, so no modal can be raised until Google ships the next one.) · previous: [LIVE_VERIFICATION_v0.61.0](LIVE_VERIFICATION_v0.61.0.md) (**#539 video-model refusal + #586 image-model refusal and server-side attribution, verified 2026-08-26/27 on profile `denon82`, ONE Veo generation total** — the video fix was proven by a **zero-credit A/B against the stashed pre-fix source running on live Flow**: the old code returned SELECTED for `veo-lite-lp`, a model Flow does not offer to this account, and for a deliberately ambiguous selector matching 3 entries; the new code refuses both with exit 18 naming what Flow offered. Model selection happens before submit, so refusals cost nothing and the A/B was free. The happy path still generates: `--model omni-flash` → exit 0, a real 2.2 MB `ftypisom` mp4, catalog recording `omni_flash`. Two items are recorded as NOT verified rather than omitted: three of #584's four navigation-settle sites were never exercised [no bearer refresh occurred in these runs], and #582's canary self-re-exec has its first real exercise tonight. Also falsified: #539's recorded note that the video picker uses a different trigger — the two constants are byte-identical strings, and the repeated empty menu captures were the capture's own fault.) · previous: [LIVE_VERIFICATION_v0.60.0](LIVE_VERIFICATION_v0.60.0.md)
 **"Was the playwright upper bound raised, and on what evidence?"** → [LIVE_VERIFICATION_playwright_1.61](LIVE_VERIFICATION_playwright_1.61.md) (**`>=1.59.0,<1.60.0` → `>=1.61.0,<1.62.0` verified 2026-08-05, 1 Imagen + 1 Veo credit** — the 2026-08-03 regression that motivated the bound does NOT reproduce on 1.61.0: a live `i2v` drove the full chain with `image_uploaded status=200` → `frame_attached` → `generate_captured status=200` with `startImage` parsed, where **1.62.0 hung silently at exactly that upload step**; live `i2i` local-ref attach passed outright [96.7s]. **1.62.0 stays excluded** — never root-caused. Also found, A/B-proven pre-existing on BOTH 1.59.0 and 1.61.0: Flow dropped the duration-tab UI, so **`--duration` is currently broken for i2v** — `UiSelectorDriftError` fires correctly [refusing rather than silently accepting Flow's default, #288] but the selector needs re-deriving; that is why the i2v proof was driven via the CLI without `--duration`, and Flow's own server-side `PUBLIC_ERROR_VIDEO_GENERATION_TIMED_OUT` means no finished mp4 is claimed).
 **"Where is the reverse-engineered wire protocol for a feature?"** → the `*_RECON.md` design docs: [CHARACTER_RECON](CHARACTER_RECON.md) (Flow character entity protocol), [IMAGE_UPSCALE_RECON](IMAGE_UPSCALE_RECON.md) (`/v1/flow/upsampleImage` wire). Naming convention: one `<FEATURE>_RECON.md` per reverse-engineered surface, kept as the durable spec after the feature ships. 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.

+## The five layers
+
+1. **File count** — one `.mp4` (`tmp/01b730c6-0be6-4b72-988c-bab5b6169760.mp4`) for the plain run.
+2. **Magic bytes** — the clip carries `ftyp` at offset 4 (`000000206674797069736f6d` -> `ftypisom`).
+3. **Shape** — 720x1280 portrait 9:16, 24 fps, duration 7.93s, 1,853,301 bytes.
+4. **Structlog invariants** — `browser_teardown.context_close_error` and `browser_teardown.force_close_returned` logged upon teardown; `auth_migrated_host_fallback_authenticated` during session renew; clean JSON payloads on telemetry.
+5. **User-confirmable artifact** — `tmp/01b730c6-0be6-4b72-988c-bab5b6169760.mp4` opens in any standard video player.
+
+## Observed, not caused by this release
+
+- Flow's settings pane for `veo-lite` on the maintainer cohort renders no duration control, so `--duration 4` exits 11 pre-submit with a clean `ConfigurationError` and guidance to omit `--duration`.
+- `browser_teardown.context_close_error` appears after generation runs, as observed in v0.93.0 and v0.92.1.
+
+## Not run
+
+- **Other accounts, and a host other than flow.google.com.** No account here is served anything else (named external blocker).
+- **Additional video generation paths (`i2v`, `r2v`, `extend`) on this cycle.** Omitted to conserve the account's Veo credit budget (spends credits), relying on the required plain t2v step 0 generation.

@@ -132,6 +132,7 @@ The server registers three protocol surfaces:
 * `gflow_character_show(project, entity_id, name, profile)`: Shows one character by id or exact display name (exactly one selector required). An ambiguous name is refused rather than resolved arbitrarily — which is the reason to prefer the id. Read-only; drives a browser session.
 * `gflow_character_voices()`: Lists the preset voices available for Character TTS (name, description, sample URL). A static in-process lookup — no network, no browser, no profile, no cost. Call it to pick a valid voice name.
 * `gflow_list_projects(profile, limit, offset)`: Queries the SQLite catalog for recent generation folders, paginated — the response carries `count` (rows in this page), `offset`, `has_more`, and `next_offset` (pass it back as `offset` for the next page; `null` on the last page).
+* `gflow_usage_stats(weeks)`: Summarize local gflow-cli usage statistics over the last N weeks (default 12, range 1..53). Returns command invocation counts across surfaces from local telemetry (or null when telemetry is off) and generation counts by command, model, status, and month from the local catalog, along with the active telemetry state and switch (#1164). Spends no credits and makes no network calls.
 * `gflow_download_media(media_id, out_dir, profile)`: Fetches an already-generated asset from Flow by its media ID and writes it to disk — the recovery path for a generation that was billed but whose download failed. Spends no credits. The bytes are verified against the size Flow reports before the file is written, and the catalog's `local_files` row is updated. Returns `path`, `bytes`, `media_id`, `workflow_id`, `project_id` and `profile`. The transfer retries a dropped connection internally ([#895](https://github.com/ffroliva/gflow-cli/issues/895)), so a failure marked `retryable` means pause and call again — not immediately, and not in a tight loop: each call opens a browser under a per-profile lease, and a second concurrent call fails on that lease instead (exit 11).
 * `gflow_upscale_image(media_id, scale, project, out_dir, profile)`: Upscales an already-generated image to 2K or 4K. `scale` is `2k` or `4k` (4K requires Ultra; Pro accounts support 2K). Spends no credits.
 * `gflow_upscale_video(media_id, scale, project, out_dir, profile)`: Upscales or exports an already-generated video to 1080p Full HD, downloads the original 720p, or exports a 270p animated GIF. `scale` is `1080p`, `720p`, or `270p`. Driven on `flow.google.com` only; measured free (1 observation, 2026-10-07).
