docs(02): final verification

Browse Source 
Independently re-derived all 02-11/02-12 claims: recomputed every claimed
median directly from 02-PERF-FINAL.json's raw samples (all match), confirmed
the frozen perf harness is still byte-for-byte untouched, re-ran the
keepAliveLifecycle regression suite (19/19) and the full workspace suite
(788/788), and confirmed the three leaked-poller fixes are genuinely wired
in source. Discover's override is well-formed and corroborated across three
independent artifacts. Status: human_needed — OpenWrtGateway is the one
named regression with zero post-fix measurement (crashed for an unrelated
reason) and no override scoped to it; everything else is either verified
fixed, substantially recovered with an honest residual, or formally
overridden by Dorian.

- gap: "Timing regressions on the named slow surfaces"
scope: "Discover only — the other four measurable surfaces were FIXED by plan 02-11 (web5 566->275, server 738->574, fleet 330->790, app-details 1204->1231; openwrt-gateway is not measurable, no OpenWrt device connected)"
scope: "Discover only — the other four measurable surfaces were substantially fixed by plan 02-11 (web5 566->275, server 738->574, fleet 330->790, app-details 1204->1231; openwrt-gateway could not be re-measured this pass, see gaps_remaining below — its unfixed status is NOT covered by this override, which is scoped to Discover only)"
decision: "ACCEPTED — Discover's revisit cost stays as measured (1389ms vs 1083ms pre-phase-2 baseline)"
rationale: "02-12's investigation isolated Discover's residual cost to the card-stagger entrance animation replaying in full on every revisit (measured cascade +241ms to +1716ms; first paint 901ms of a 1095ms window; CPU 86-99% idle). The only available fix changes when that animation runs, which is a visual behavior change. Dorian ruled it out: 'no changing animations allowed' — animation behavior is explicitly his domain. Note the pre-phase-2 baseline already contained this same cascade (every visit was a full remount then), so this is long-standing cost surfaced by the phase, not created by it."

evidence: ".planning/phases/02-ui-performance/02-12-PLAN.md (CANCELLED, investigation retained), 02-11-SUMMARY.md, 02-PERF-FINAL.json"
verifier_note: "Override block is well-formed (must_have/reason/accepted_by/accepted_at all present) and corroborated by three independent artifacts (02-12-PLAN.md's cancellation notice, 02-11-SUMMARY.md's scope-deviation entry, and STATE.md's Blockers/Concerns line) that agree on wording and mechanism. No raw chat transcript exists in-repo to cross-check 'Dorian said X' against, which is a structural limitation of this workflow (planning artifacts, not conversation logs, are the durable record) — this is noted, not treated as disqualifying, since the attribution is specific, consistent across artifacts, and the accompanying technical rationale (blast radius, CSS animation-fill-mode mechanism) is independently verifiable and correct."
re_verification:
previous_status: gaps_found
previous_score: 6/8
previous_score: 5/8
gaps_closed:
- "Gap 1: Server.vue (and, discovered mid-investigation, Web5.vue) KeepAlive remount — 02-09 proved with a corrected, authoritative document.elementFromPoint() hit-test signal (four independent device runs, zero contradicting readings) that the original 'genuinely remounts' finding was a probe-measurement artifact of the generic .view-container selector, not a real defect. Pinned with four vm.$.uid-based regression tests (re-run and confirmed green in this pass: 16/16 tests in keepAliveLifecycle.test.ts). keepAliveTabs.test.ts confirmed byte-for-byte unmodified. User confirmed on real hardware (Task 3 checkpoint, approved)."
- "Gap 2 (timing regressions), largely: 02-11's real CDP CPU-profiling (86-99% idle/program, <10% JS self-time on every surface) ruled out the render-cost hypotheses and found three background pollers (useFleetData.ts 60s, FipsNetworkCard.vue 15s, Web5Monitoring.vue 30s) that armed setInterval in onMounted but only disarmed in onUnmounted — harmless before KeepAlive, a permanent background-RPC leak after it. Gated to onActivated/onDeactivated, matching Server.vue's own already-proven pattern. RED-before-GREEN confirmed via git stash (3 new regression tests fail pre-fix, pass post-fix). Re-measured on archi-dev-box with the still-frozen harness (empty git diff --stat confirmed directly, not trusted): web5 566->1329(regressed)->275 (now below baseline AND below the 300ms target), server 738->1239->574 (below baseline), fleet 330->2631->790 (substantially recovered, not fully to baseline), app-details 1204->2668->1231 (essentially restored to baseline). All four numbers independently recomputed from 02-PERF-FINAL.json's raw samples during this verification pass, matching 02-11-SUMMARY.md's claims exactly."
- "Discover formally overridden by the accountable stakeholder (Dorian), per the previous verification's own explicit requirement — see overrides block."
gaps_remaining:
- "Gap 2: Timing regressions. Where the previous pass left this ambiguous ('regressed or unchanged... plausible candidate for environmental-noise'), 02-10's three-way re-measure (5 runs/surface, dispersion not medians, taken across three different days with disk pressure genuinely improving) has now CONFIRMED five of the six named surfaces as real, monotonically-worsening, phase-2-caused regressions — not noise. This makes the must-have's failure more certain, not less. None of the five is fixed; each is recorded as an 'accepted deviation' due to an operational deploy-safety blocker (shared-tree hazard), not a stakeholder decision that the regression is an acceptable outcome for this phase's own stated goal."
- "OpenWrtGateway (secondary screen, in SC3's scope) has NO post-fix measurement. 02-10 confirmed its regression as real (663.5ms baseline -> 1460ms, +120%, not noise). 02-11's final re-measure pass crashed on this surface (Chromium 'Target crashed', cascading from an unrelated surface earlier in the same browser session) — recorded honestly as not-measurable, not silently dropped. But this leaves its last KNOWN state as 'confirmed regressed, unfixed' — no fix was ever attempted for this surface specifically (unlike Fleet/Server/Web5, no leaked-poller cause was identified for OpenWrtGateway itself), and the Discover override's scope explicitly excludes it. The three-poller fix plausibly also helps OpenWrtGateway (the pollers ran in the background 'regardless of which dashboard tab is in the foreground,' per 02-FINDINGS.md, and this same global-contention mechanism is credited with also restoring AppDetails — a surface with no poller of its own — to baseline) but this is inference, not measurement. Routed to human_verification below rather than assumed either way."
regressions: []
gaps:
- truth: "For every surface the findings doc named as slow (pre-fix), the after-fix measurement shows a lower revisit time AND a lower revisit RPC count than the pre-phase-2 baseline"
status: failed
reason: "02-10's three-way re-measure (02-PERF-BASELINE.json / 02-PERF-AFTER.json / 02-PERF-REMEASURE.json, dispersion across n=3/3/5 samples) confirms — with zero sample-range overlap in the strongest case (Web5) and 4-of-5 samples outside the baseline range in the others — that Discover, Server, Web5, AppDetails and OpenWrtGateway are all REAL regressions, not measurement noise or a since-cleared confound. Medians climbed on every one of three independent runs, taken on three different days, even as the shared node's disk pressure genuinely eased (85% -> 79% free) — the opposite of what an environmental-noise explanation predicts. RPC counts flat-or-improved for all five, but the wall-clock time to visible content (the harness's own field definition: 'ms from the click that starts navigation to the surface's contentSelector becoming visible') got worse, in several cases dramatically: Web5 566->1329ms (+135%), AppDetails 1204->2668ms (+122%), OpenWrtGateway 663.5->1460ms (+120%), Server 738->1239ms (+68%), Discover 1083->1453ms (+34%), plus the out-of-named-scope bonus Fleet 330->2631ms (+697%, ~8x). These are not new/unrelated surfaces — they are core main tabs (Server, Web5) and secondary screens (AppDetails, OpenWrtGateway) that are the direct subject of PERF-02/PERF-03, now measurably slower on revisit than before this phase touched them at all."
artifacts:
- path: ".planning/phases/02-ui-performance/02-FINDINGS.md"
issue: "`## Re-measurement (gap closure)` section names the cause (client-side Vue-reactivity/re-render cost from the useCachedResource/KeepAlive conversion itself, exceeding the network time it eliminated) and traces it to specific phase-2 commits via git-log bisection against pre-phase-2 baseline a75b6709 — but records it under `### Accepted deviations` rather than fixing it. The plan's own intended 'fix it' branch (small, single-file, test-covered, deploy-and-re-measure) was never attempted this session because a concurrent session's uncommitted work in the shared neode-ui/src tree made a second deploy unsafe — an operational blocker, not evidence the fix is infeasible or that the regression is an acceptable trade-off."
missing:
- "Either: (a) a targeted DevTools Performance-panel profiling pass identifying the specific reactivity/re-render cost per surface, a small fix, a clean deploy window (once the concurrent shared-tree sessions land), and a re-measure proving the number moved back toward or below baseline for Discover/Server/Web5/AppDetails/OpenWrtGateway; or (b) an explicit, accountable stakeholder decision (not the executing agent's own call under a deploy blocker) that shipping this phase with these five surfaces measurably slower than before the phase started is an acceptable trade-off for now — recorded as a formal override in this file's frontmatter with accepted_by/accepted_at, not merely as a findings-doc note."
deferred: []
human_verification:
- test: "With a stopwatch/attention specifically on Discover, AppDetails and OpenWrtGateway (not just Server/Web5, which 02-09's checkpoint did cover), revisit each after having visited once this session and judge whether a ~1.5-2.7 second wait for content to appear reads as 'prompt' or as a felt stall, on archi-dev-box."
expected: "Either the wait is imperceptible in practice (e.g., a stale-cache paint happens well before the harness's stricter contentSelector-visible threshold, so the measured number overstates what a user actually experiences), or it is felt as a real delay — this needs a human's attention on exactly these three surfaces, since no checkpoint transcript in this phase's artifacts records a reviewer's attention being drawn to them specifically after 02-10's regression was confirmed."
why_human: "02-09's Task 3 checkpoint targeted Server/Web5 (remount/spinner/margins/transitions) specifically and returned approved for those; it did not include Discover, AppDetails or OpenWrtGateway, and 02-10 (an autonomous, non-checkpointed plan) produced no human read on whether its own confirmed regressions are perceptible."
- test: "Decide, as the accountable stakeholder, whether to accept the five confirmed timing regressions (Discover/Server/Web5/AppDetails/OpenWrtGateway, all measurably worse than pre-phase-2 baseline, none fixed) as a scoped-out follow-up so Phase 2 can be marked complete now, or to require a fix-and-reverify pass before closing the phase."
expected: "An explicit decision, recorded either as a formal override in this VERIFICATION.md (if accepting) or as a new gap-closure plan targeting these five surfaces (if not)."
why_human: "This is a phase-goal-level trade-off ('the UI feels fast' vs. a documented, unfixed regression in exactly the surfaces the phase targeted) that the executing agent is not positioned to accept on the project's behalf — the agent's own 'accepted deviation' framing in 02-FINDINGS.md was forced by an operational blocker (shared-tree deploy safety), not chosen as a considered scope decision."

| # | Truth | Status | Evidence |
|---|-------|--------|----------|
| 1 | The slowest tab switches and secondary-screen opens are profiled with causes named, before any fix lands | ✓ VERIFIED | Unchanged from initial pass — `02-FINDINGS.md` committed (`675deb65`) before the first `neode-ui/src` change (`385c9d86`), confirmed via `git log` ordering |
| 2 | Main-tab switches render immediately from cached state with background refresh — no blank screens/long spinners on tabs already visited this session | ✗ FAILED (downgraded from ⚠️ PARTIAL) | Server and Web5 — both main tabs — are now CONFIRMED (02-10, three-way dispersion, zero range overlap for Web5) to take 1.2s (Server) and 1.3s (Web5) median wall-clock time for content to become visible on revisit, up from 738ms/566ms before this phase started. This is not a remount (02-09 proved instance survival with an authoritative hit-test signal) but it is a real, measured stall against this truth's own "renders immediately" / "no long spinners" language |
| 3 | Secondary screens open without a blocking full reload and repeat visits are instant | ✗ FAILED (downgraded from ⚠️ PARTIAL) | AppDetails (1204→2668ms median) and OpenWrtGateway (663.5→1460ms median) are CONFIRMED real, phase-2-caused regressions by 02-10's three-way re-measure, both now well past 1 second and both worse than their pre-phase-2 baseline by more than 2x. Not "instant" by any reading of the word |
| 4 | The fixes are verified on real node hardware — the sluggishness the user reported is gone on-device | ⚠️ PARTIAL | The specific issues the user's checkpoints surfaced (Cloud first-click connection-pool starvation, Server/Web5 KeepAlive remount) were root-caused, fixed, and confirmed on-device. But the broader claim is contradicted by 02-10's confirmed, unfixed timing regressions across 5 surfaces, none of which were part of any human checkpoint's specific attention (see human_verification below) |
| 5 | (02-08/09 must-have) Every main tab registered for instance caching genuinely survives a tab round-trip | ✓ VERIFIED (flipped from ✗ FAILED — gap 1 closed) | 02-09's `keepalive-remount-probe.spec.ts`, run this session against the current `keepAliveLifecycle.test.ts` (16/16 tests green, including the 4 new `vm.$.uid`-based instance-identity tests added for this gap closure — re-run directly during this verification, not taken on trust), proves Server's and Web5's instances survive; the original "remounts" reading was a probe-selector artifact, independently confirmed via `document.elementFromPoint()` hit-testing across 4 device runs with zero contradicting readings |
| 6 | (02-08/09 must-have) Every surface named as slow has a lower revisit time AND lower revisit RPC count after the fix, vs. pre-phase-2 baseline | ✗ FAILED (still failed — now confirmed with certainty, not ambiguous) | 02-10's three-way re-measure resolves the "is this noise?" question the initial verification left open: 5 of 6 named surfaces (all but Wallet/send-flow, which cleared as noise) are confirmed real, monotonically-worsening regressions across 3 independent runs on 3 different days, even as the shared node's disk pressure genuinely improved between runs (85%→79% free) — the opposite of what noise would produce |
| 7 | The instance-cache cap (`KEEP_ALIVE_MAX`) is set from observed on-device memory rather than an estimate | ✓ VERIFIED | Unchanged from initial pass; 02-09's Test 4 re-confirms the cap is untouched by the gap-closure work |
| 8 | The build shipped to the dev pair contains this phase's changes, deployed only to the dev pair (no fleet/OTA) | ✓ VERIFIED | Unchanged; 02-09/02-10 both deployed/verified `--frontend-only` to archi-dev-box only; archy-x250-dev remained offline throughout and is honestly recorded as not yet receiving this phase's build |
| 1 | The slowest tab switches and secondary-screen opens are profiled with causes named, before any fix lands | ✓ VERIFIED | Unchanged from prior passes; 02-11 additionally profiled with real CDP CPU sampling (`050a87d2`, before the fix commit `2c25e512` — confirmed via `git merge-base --is-ancestor`) |
| 2 | Main-tab switches render immediately from cached state with background refresh — no blank screens/long spinners on tabs already visited this session | ⚠️ PARTIAL | Web5 (275ms) is unambiguously fixed — below both its pre-phase-2 baseline (566ms) and the 300ms stretch target. Server (574ms) has its regression closed (below its 738ms baseline) but the residual is real and above the stretch target — attributed to un-eliminated per-resource reactivation cost, not a new defect. Fleet (790ms) is "substantially improved" from a 2631ms regression but its median sits 2.4x its 330ms baseline, even though the minimum sample (298ms) is close to baseline — plausible but unconfirmed run-to-run dispersion on a shared, loaded box, per 02-11-SUMMARY's own honest framing (not claimed as fully resolved) |
| 3 | Secondary screens open without a blocking full reload and repeat visits are instant | ⚠️ PARTIAL | AppDetails (1231ms) essentially restored to its 1204ms baseline — the residual is an already-documented, pre-existing `useCachedResource` per-mount cost this phase never promised to remove. Discover (1389ms) is formally overridden by Dorian (see frontmatter). OpenWrtGateway has NO post-fix data — its last confirmed measurement (1460ms, +120% vs. 663.5ms baseline) stands unaddressed; see human_verification |
| 4 | The fixes are verified on real node hardware — the sluggishness the user reported is gone on-device | ⚠️ PARTIAL | Strong quantitative real-hardware evidence (archi-dev-box, not a synthetic/local run) for Web5/Server/Fleet/AppDetails, independently recomputed from `02-PERF-FINAL.json` in this pass, not taken on SUMMARY's word. No fresh human eyeball checkpoint ran specifically on 02-11's background-poller fix (all three of 02-11's tasks are `type="auto"`, no checkpoint gate) — a reasonable choice for a non-visual timer-gating change, but it means the "user confirms sluggishness gone" claim rests on numbers plus the earlier 02-09 checkpoint (which covered remount/spinner behavior, not this specific fix) rather than a fresh on-device look. OpenWrtGateway is unverified either way |
| 5 | (02-08/09 must-have) Every main tab registered for instance caching genuinely survives a tab round-trip | ✓ VERIFIED | Re-ran `keepAliveLifecycle.test.ts` directly in this pass (not trusted from SUMMARY): 19/19 tests green, including the 3 new "02-11 gap closure" leaked-poller regression tests added this round (RED-before-GREEN confirmed via `git stash` per 02-11-SUMMARY) plus the 16 tests already pinned in the prior pass. `keepAliveTabs.test.ts` confirmed still byte-for-byte unmodified (`git log` shows no commits since 02-02) |
| 6 | (02-08/09 must-have) Every surface named as slow has a lower revisit time AND lower revisit RPC count after the fix, vs. pre-phase-2 baseline | ⚠️ PARTIAL | Literally true for Web5 and Server only (both now below their own pre-phase-2 baseline). Fleet and AppDetails sit at-or-near baseline (not strictly lower — Fleet is 2.4x, AppDetails is +2%) but both are honestly characterized as "substantially recovered" / "essentially restored," not silently rounded to a pass. Discover remains above baseline, formally overridden. OpenWrtGateway's last known state remains above baseline, unfixed and unmeasured this pass — not covered by the override |
| 7 | (02-08/09 must-have) The instance-cache cap (`KEEP_ALIVE_MAX`) is set from observed on-device memory rather than an estimate | ✓ VERIFIED | Unchanged from prior passes; untouched by 02-11/02-12 |
| 8 | (02-08/09 must-have) The build shipped to the dev pair contains this phase's changes, deployed only to the dev pair (no fleet/OTA) | ✓ VERIFIED | 02-11 deployed `--frontend-only` to archi-dev-box only (confirmed in 02-11-SUMMARY.md); no OTA/fleet distribution; `archy-x250-dev` still not part of this phase's deploy footprint |
**Score:** 5/8 truths verified (3 explicitly FAILED: truths 2, 3, 6 — all downstream of the same confirmed, unfixed timing-regression finding)
**Score:** 6/8 truths fully verified (2 PARTIAL: truths 2 and 3, both downstream of the same single open item — OpenWrtGateway's unmeasured post-fix status. Truth 6 also carries the same nuance but is graded PARTIAL rather than double-counted as a separate failure)
### Required Artifacts (gap-closure additions)
### Independent Recomputation of 02-PERF-FINAL.json (not taken on SUMMARY's word)
Recomputed medians directly from the raw `samples[].revisitMs` arrays in `02-PERF-FINAL.json` during this verification pass:
| Surface | n | Median (recomputed) | Claimed in 02-11-SUMMARY | Match |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| web5 | 5 | 275 | 275 | ✓ |
| server | 5 | 574 | 574 | ✓ |
| fleet | 5 | 790 | 790 | ✓ |
| app-details | 5 | 1231 | 1231 | ✓ |
| discover | 5 | 1389 | 1389 | ✓ |
| openwrt-gateway | 5 | null (all 5 samples null) | "no data" (Chromium `Target crashed`) | ✓ — `notes` field confirms crash cascading from `cloud-folder`, consistent with SUMMARY's account |
Cross-checked the claimed baseline/regressed numbers against the actual prior artifacts (not re-typed from the SUMMARY):
| Surface | 02-PERF-BASELINE.json | 02-PERF-REMEASURE.json ("regressed") | Match to claimed 566/738/330/1204/1083/663.5 -> 1329/1239/2631/2668/1453/1460 |
|---|---|---|---|
| web5 | 566 | 1329 | ✓ |
| server | 738 | 1239 | ✓ |
| fleet | 330 | 2631 | ✓ |
| app-details | 1204 | 2668 | ✓ |
| discover | 1083 | 1453 | ✓ |
| openwrt-gateway | 663.5 | 1460 | ✓ |
All six claimed figures verify exactly against the underlying JSON artifacts — no discrepancy found.
### Frozen Harness Integrity
```
git diff --stat 3ee20430..HEAD -- neode-ui/e2e/perf/surfaces.ts neode-ui/e2e/perf/measure.ts neode-ui/e2e/perf/surface-perf.spec.ts
-> (empty)
```
Confirmed directly in this pass: the 02-01 harness remains genuinely frozen through 02-11 and 02-12 (cancelled). `profile-revisit.spec.ts` is a separate, additive file, not a modification to the frozen set.
### Required Artifacts (this pass's additions)

| `neode-ui/src/views/dashboard/__tests__/keepAliveLifecycle.test.ts` (`02-09 gap closure` block) | 4 `vm.$.uid`-based regression tests | ✓ VERIFIED, RE-RUN THIS PASS | `npx vitest run` of this file: 16/16 tests pass, including all 4 new gap-closure tests (Test 1 "the gap", Test 2 "no collateral damage", Test 3 "registration is really the include list", Test 4 "the bound stays bound") |
| `.planning/phases/02-ui-performance/02-PERF-REMEASURE.json` | Third measurement, 5 runs/surface | ✓ VERIFIED | Present, committed (`db629f6f`); 15 rows, `runs: 5`, `baseUrl: http://archi-dev-box` per 02-10-SUMMARY |
| `.planning/phases/02-ui-performance/02-FINDINGS.md` `## Server KeepAlive Root Cause` + `## Re-measurement` sections | Named causes, evidence, verdicts | ✓ VERIFIED | Both sections present (lines 452-857), each verdict cites specific artifact fields, both committed before/alongside their respective source changes (or no-change decisions) |
| `keepAliveTabs.test.ts` | Must stay byte-for-byte unmodified (structural visual-contract pin) | ✓ VERIFIED | `git log --oneline -- neode-ui/src/views/dashboard/__tests__/keepAliveTabs.test.ts` shows no commits since 02-02; untouched by 02-09/02-10 |
| `neode-ui/e2e/perf/profile-revisit.spec.ts` | Additive CDP profiling diagnostic | ✓ VERIFIED | Present; frozen-harness diff confirmed empty before and after |
| `neode-ui/src/views/fleet/useFleetData.ts` | Poll gated to onActivated/onDeactivated | ✓ VERIFIED, WIRED | `armFleetPoll`/`disarmFleetPoll` called from `onMounted`+`onActivated` / `onUnmounted`+`onDeactivated` — confirmed by direct grep of the source |
| `neode-ui/src/views/server/FipsNetworkCard.vue` | Poll gated to onActivated/onDeactivated | ✓ VERIFIED, WIRED | Same pattern confirmed via direct grep |
| `neode-ui/src/views/web5/Web5Monitoring.vue` | Poll gated to onActivated/onDeactivated | ✓ VERIFIED, WIRED | Same pattern confirmed via direct grep |
| `.planning/phases/02-ui-performance/02-PERF-FINAL.json` | 5 runs/surface, archi-dev-box | ✓ VERIFIED | `runs: 5`, `baseUrl: http://archi-dev-box`, 15 rows, all figures independently recomputed and matched above |
| `keepAliveLifecycle.test.ts` (3 new "02-11 gap closure" tests) | RED-before-GREEN regression tests | ✓ VERIFIED, RE-RUN THIS PASS | `npx vitest run` of this file: 19/19 tests pass |
| `keepAliveTabs.test.ts` | Byte-for-byte unmodified | ✓ VERIFIED | No commits since 02-02 |
| `neode-ui/src/composables/useEntranceStagger.ts` (02-12, cancelled) | Must NOT exist / not be wired (cancelled before Task 2) | ✓ VERIFIED ABSENT | `find`/`grep` confirm no file, no references anywhere in `neode-ui/src` — the cancellation was clean, no orphaned half-wired code left behind |
### Data-Flow / Behavioral Verification
Ran the single most relevant regression-test file directly during this verification pass (not taken on SUMMARY's word):
Ran directly during this verification pass (not taken on trust):
```
npx vitest run src/views/dashboard/__tests__/keepAliveLifecycle.test.ts
→ 16 passed (16), including all 4 "02-09 gap closure" tests
-> 19 passed (19)
```
Confirmed the harness freeze claim directly:
```
git diff --stat 3ee20430..HEAD -- neode-ui/e2e/perf/surfaces.ts neode-ui/e2e/perf/measure.ts neode-ui/e2e/perf/surface-perf.spec.ts
→ (empty — instrument genuinely frozen across both gap-closure plans)
npm test -- --run (full workspace suite)
-> Test Files 95 passed (95)
-> Tests 788 passed (788)
```
Confirmed the CR-01/FIPS security-review fixes 02-REVIEW.md claims are actually landed in code (background check, not a phase must-have, but bears on overall code-quality confidence):
```
grep persist neode-ui/src/views/web5/Web5.vue → web5.lnd-info / web5.networking-profits both `persist: false` (T-02-01)
grep persist neode-ui/src/views/Server.vue → server.fips-summary `persist: false`
neode-ui/src/stores/resources.ts → SCHEMA_MARKER_KEY / purge-on-mismatch migration logic present (CR-01 follow-up)

All confirmed present in the actual source, not just claimed in the review doc.
Both match 02-11-SUMMARY.md's claims exactly.
### Requirements Coverage
| Requirement | Status | Evidence |
|-------------|--------|----------|
| PERF-01 | ✓ SATISFIED | Unchanged — profiling-before-fix discipline fully evidenced and gap-closure-consistent |
| PERF-02 | ✗ NOT SATISFIED | REQUIREMENTS.md marks this `[x] Complete`, citing 02-10's "closed" verdict — but the verdict itself records 3 of the 5 confirmed regressions (Server, Web5, Fleet) as unfixed main-tab timing regressions. "Closed" in the project's own tracker means "has a verdict," not "resolved to meet the requirement's own wording" ("render immediately... no blank screens or long spinners") |
| PERF-03 | ✗ NOT SATISFIED | Same discrepancy — AppDetails and OpenWrtGateway confirmed regressed and unfixed; REQUIREMENTS.md's "Complete" marking describes the verdict process, not the outcome |
| PERF-01 | ✓ SATISFIED | Unchanged — profiling-before-fix discipline holds, now with real CDP profiling evidence added by 02-11 |
| PERF-02 | ⚠️ MOSTLY SATISFIED | Web5/Server (main tabs) genuinely fixed or substantially improved with real before/after numbers. Fleet (also a main tab) substantially improved but not fully to baseline — real, honestly-documented residual, not silently marked complete |
| PERF-03 | ⚠️ MOSTLY SATISFIED, ONE ITEM OPEN | AppDetails restored to baseline; Discover formally overridden by the accountable stakeholder. OpenWrtGateway (a secondary screen squarely in PERF-03's scope) has a confirmed, real, unfixed regression with no post-fix measurement and no override — this is the one item this verification asks a human to close, either by re-measuring (cheap — the pollers are already fixed, and the crash that blocked this pass was unrelated to OpenWrtGateway's own code) or by an explicit accept-as-deviation decision matching Discover's |
**This verification does not accept "a verdict now exists" as equivalent to "the requirement is met."** A confirmed-real, unfixed, phase-2-caused regression is a requirement failure, not a closed requirement, regardless of how well it is documented.
REQUIREMENTS.md marks PERF-02/PERF-03 `[x] Complete` with honest, detailed caveats in the description (including the OpenWrtGateway gap). This verification does not treat "marked Complete with caveats documented" as equivalent to "no open items remain" — the caveats are exactly this report's open item.
### Anti-Patterns Found
None in the gap-closure files themselves (`keepalive-remount-probe.spec.ts`, `keepAliveLifecycle.test.ts` additions, `02-FINDINGS.md`) — no stubs, no TODO/FIXME/XXX, no hand-edited artifacts. The gap-closure work product is itself high quality; the gap is in the underlying performance outcome, not in how it was investigated or reported.
None in the three fixed poller files or the new test file — no TODO/FIXME/XXX/HACK/PLACEHOLDER, no stubs. The fix pattern (arm/disarm gated to onActivated/onDeactivated) exactly replicates Server.vue's own already-proven convention from 02-04; no new pattern was invented. `useEntranceStagger.ts` (02-12, cancelled) was confirmed fully removed with no orphaned references.
### Human Verification Required
See frontmatter `human_verification` — two items: (1) a felt-experience check on Discover/AppDetails/OpenWrtGateway specifically (never covered by any checkpoint after the regression was confirmed), and (2) an explicit accountable stakeholder decision on whether to accept the five confirmed regressions as a scoped-out follow-up or require a fix-and-reverify pass before this phase can be considered done.
### 1. OpenWrtGateway — get an actual post-fix number, or an explicit override
**Test:** Either (a) re-run the frozen harness for just this one surface now that the three background pollers are fixed and the unrelated `cloud-folder` crash that blocked 02-11's final pass is not expected to recur (`cd neode-ui && ARCHY_BASE_URL=http://archi-dev-box ARCHY_PERF_RUNS=5 npx playwright test e2e/perf/surface-perf.spec.ts --project=chromium --grep openwrt-gateway`), or (b) if a clean re-measure isn't practical right now, make the same kind of explicit, accountable decision Dorian made for Discover — accept OpenWrtGateway's last-known regressed number (1460ms vs. 663.5ms baseline) as a deviation, or require a dedicated follow-up plan.
**Expected:** Either a new number showing the regression is closed (most likely outcome, since the same global background-RPC-contention mechanism that restored AppDetails — a surface with no poller of its own — to baseline plausibly also affects OpenWrtGateway), or an explicit stakeholder decision recorded the same way Discover's was.
**Why human:** This is the one surface in this phase's own named regression list that has zero post-fix data. The mechanism strongly suggests it's likely already fixed as a side effect of the poller gating, but "likely" is an inference from analogy (AppDetails), not a measurement — and I am not positioned to either take that measurement on the real archi-dev-box hardware from this session, or to accept the deviation on the project's behalf the way Discover's was accepted.
### Gaps Summary
**What closed cleanly:** Gap 1 (Server.vue's reported KeepAlive remount) is genuinely resolved, and resolved well. 02-09 did not take the easy path of accepting 02-08's "confirmed twice" finding at face value — it built a third, more rigorously instrumented probe, found an authoritative contradicting signal (`document.elementFromPoint()` hit-testing across four independent device runs, zero readings the other direction), named the actual mechanism (a generic, shared CSS selector that cannot disambiguate the foreground tab from other still-cached tabs once more than one is resident — which is the normal, intended KeepAlive state), and pinned the corrected understanding with four `vm.$.uid`-based regression tests immune to the same ambiguity. I re-ran those tests directly in this pass rather than trusting the SUMMARY: 16/16 green. This is exactly the kind of skepticism-then-verification this verifier is supposed to model, and it was applied by the executing agent to its own team's prior finding.
**What's now solid:** The core client-side render-cost investigation this phase's final gap needed — real CDP CPU profiling, not a guess — found and fixed the actual mechanism (three background pollers left running forever after KeepAlive stopped tearing down their owning views), with RED-before-GREEN regression tests and a clean re-measure on real hardware. Web5 and Server, the two main tabs at the center of PERF-02, are both now measurably better than they were before this phase touched them at all. Discover's remaining cost was investigated to a specific, evidenced, named cause (a CSS animation-replay defect, not vague "still slow"), and the decision to leave it as-is was made by the person with actual authority over animation behavior, recorded with full rationale — exactly the escalation this verifier's prior pass asked for, done correctly.
**What did not close:** Gap 2 (timing regressions) went through the same rigorous process — a three-way dispersion comparison across 3 independent runs on 3 different days, git-log bisection to confirm phase-2 origin, explicit ruling-out of the environmental-noise theory with data (the regressions grew as disk pressure eased, the opposite of a noise signature) — and the answer it produced is that 5 of 6 named surfaces are genuinely, measurably, unambiguously worse than before this phase touched them, in some cases dramatically so (Web5 +135%, AppDetails +122%, OpenWrtGateway +120%, Fleet — bonus/out-of-scope — +697%). None of the five is fixed. The reason given is an operational one (a concurrent session's uncommitted work made a second deploy unsafe this session), not a judgment that the regression is acceptable — the plan's own text explicitly frames "fix it" as the intended action for exactly this situation ("Confirmed AND caused by a phase-2 change AND fixable small -> fix it"), and only fell back to "accepted deviation" because that branch became unavailable mid-session.
**What's still open, and why this isn't a clean pass:** OpenWrtGateway is the one surface where the story is incomplete. 02-10 proved its regression was real (not noise, confirmed across three independent runs on three different days). 02-11's attempt to re-measure it after the poller fix crashed for an unrelated reason (a browser crash cascading from a different surface earlier in the same test run) and was never retried. No source-level cause was ever identified for OpenWrtGateway specifically (unlike Fleet/Server/Web5, which each had a named poller). Its last known, confirmed state is "regressed, unfixed." The Discover override's frontmatter scope explicitly reads "Discover only," so it does not cover this surface, and no separate override was made for it. This is a small, cheap-to-close gap — a single-surface harness re-run would very likely settle it in minutes — but it is a real, currently-unverified item, not a formality, and I'm not willing to wave it through silently just because four of the six originally-named regressions have strong, verified fixes.
**The central judgment call this re-verification was asked to make:** does "the UI feels fast" hold when tab-switching is genuinely instant and user-confirmed on hardware, but five named surfaces measurably regressed on revisit? My answer is no, not yet, for two reasons grounded directly in the project's own evidence rather than my own intuition about UX: first, the harness's own field definition for `revisitMs` is "wall-clock ms from the click that starts navigation to the surface's contentSelector becoming visible" — this is a direct, literal measurement of the exact thing the phase goal describes ("renders promptly instead of stalling"), not a proxy or an internal metric a user wouldn't feel. A 2.7-second wait for AppDetails' content to become visible, or a 1.3-second wait for Web5, is squarely within what SC2/SC3's own language ("no blank screens or long spinners," "instant") was written to rule out. Second, these are not edge-case or rarely-visited surfaces — Server and Web5 are main tabs, exactly the class of surface PERF-02 exists to fix, and both are now slower than they were before the phase started at all (738→1239ms, 566→1329ms), which is the opposite outcome the phase set out to produce. The user's hands-on approval in 02-09's Task 3 checkpoint is real and valuable evidence, but it was scoped specifically to Server/Web5's remount-and-visual-contract question (spinner/blank-frame/margins/transitions) — it did not, and could not, cover Discover/AppDetails/OpenWrtGateway, and it predates 02-10's confirmation that the timing cost is real rather than noise. An "accepted deviation" written by the executing agent under a deploy-safety constraint is not the same thing as an accountable stakeholder deciding this trade-off is fine; that decision has not yet been made by anyone empowered to make it, so this verification cannot manufacture it on the project's behalf, and continues to report this as a gap rather than closing it as an override.
This is not a rejection of the team's work quality — the investigation discipline in both 02-09 and 02-10 (measure before fix, dispersion over medians, git-bisection to confirm origin, explicit noise-theory falsification) is unusually strong and exactly what should happen when a gap-closure pass finds bad news. But finding bad news rigorously does not convert it into good news, and the phase's own goal — "the UI feels fast" — is not yet true for Server, Web5, Discover, AppDetails, and OpenWrtGateway.
**Verdict on the phase goal:** "The UI feels fast" now holds convincingly for the surfaces with real before/after evidence: Web5 and Server (main tabs) are demonstrably faster than before the phase started; Fleet and AppDetails are substantially recovered with honestly-documented residuals that are pre-existing or plausibly noise, not new defects; Discover's residual is real but has been properly escalated to and decided by the person with authority over it. That leaves exactly one open question — OpenWrtGateway — which is why this reports `human_needed` rather than `passed`: not because the work done is poor (it is unusually rigorous — real profiling before fixing, RED-before-GREEN tests, honest reporting of a browser crash instead of silently dropping the row, an actual accountable-stakeholder decision recorded with rationale for Discover), but because one measurable claim in the phase's own success criteria (PERF-03, secondary screens) has no current evidence either way for one specific surface, and closing that gap is cheap enough that it shouldn't be waved through on inference alone.
