Subject: [PATCH 005/117] fix(target-url): treat trailing-dot hostnames as
 loopback in SSRF guard (#37)

assertNotLocal lowercased the hostname but did not strip a trailing dot, so http://localhost. (the FQDN form of localhost, RFC 6761) and http://localhost%2e bypassed the host === 'localhost' loopback check. IP literals are already dot-normalized by the WHATWG URL parser, so only named hosts were affected. Strips one trailing dot before the comparison. Adds 4 regression tests (3 blocked variants + 1 public-FQDN no-false-positive).

Subject: [PATCH 010/117] fix(project): reject empty/whitespace-only --name in
 create and update (#36)

project create/update validated --name with the action handler's if (!name) check, which a whitespace-only string passes (a non-empty string is truthy). The blank name was then sent verbatim, creating a junk-named project. The sibling 	est create already rejects this via the requireString whitespace guard (dogfood P1 fix #1); this aligns project create/update with that behavior. Adds 2 regression tests.

Subject: [PATCH 011/117] fix(cli): validate --output uniformly across all
 command groups (#14)

Only `test` and `project` validated the global `--output` flag. The
`auth`, `usage`, `agent`, and `init` command groups resolved it with
`globals.output ?? 'text'`, so an unrecognised value (e.g. a typo like
`--output josn`) was silently coerced to text mode instead of being
rejected. A coding agent that asked for `--output json` then received a
human-readable text payload and failed to parse it as JSON, with no
signal as to why.

Extract the validation into a shared `resolveOutputMode` helper in
`lib/output.js` and route every command group's `resolveCommonOptions`
through it. Invalid values now throw a typed VALIDATION_ERROR (exit 5)
with an actionable message everywhere. This also unifies the error
wording, which previously differed between `test`
("Flag `--output` is invalid: must be one of: json, text.") and
`project` ("--output must be one of: json, text").

Subject: [PATCH 013/117] fix(test): reject empty code get --out and strip
 code-file BOM (#34)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

* fix(test): reject empty code get --out and strip code-file BOM

When test code get --out receives an empty inline body, closeOutputFile left a zero-byte file with exit 0 — scripts and agents treated that as a successful download. Abort the sink, unlink any artifact, and surface VALIDATION_ERROR instead.

Plan/steps JSON already strip a leading UTF-8 BOM from PowerShell 5.1 files; apply the same strip to --code-file reads so uploaded test source is not corrupted by an invisible U+FEFF prefix.

* fix(test): rebase onto v0.2.0 and harden empty-code --out cleanup

- Resolve rebase conflicts: keep atomic temp-file --out writes from main
  while rejecting empty inline code with VALIDATION_ERROR (exit 5)
- abortOutputFile: wait for stream close before unlinking tmpPath
- BOM test: use .py code-file (assertPythonCodeFile from v0.2.0)
- CI: build before test + fileParallelism false (dist/ race flake)

Subject: [PATCH 015/117] fix(test): emit auto-minted idempotency-key under
 --output json in rerun and run --all (#128)

test run, test create, create-batch, plan put, code put, update, and
delete all print the auto-minted idempotency key to stderr under
--output json (as well as --verbose / --debug) so JSON-mode automation
can capture the key and replay a retry safely. test rerun and
test run --all minted a key but only echoed it under --debug /
--verbose, so CI flows using --output json silently lost it.

Align both paths with the shared guard used by every other minting
site, and cover the JSON-mode emission (and the text-mode silence)
with regression tests.

Subject: [PATCH 016/117] fix(agent): apply symlink fail-close guard to
 own-file --dry-run installs (#129)

The codex managed-section branch already runs inspectTargetPath during
--dry-run ([P2]) so a planted symlink is refused the same way the real
install refuses it. The own-file targets (claude, cursor, cline,
antigravity) skipped that guard in dry-run and reported the write as
successful, so 'agent install --dry-run' could claim success for an
install that would actually exit 5.

Run the same guard in the own-file dry-run branch and cover both the
symlinked-target and symlinked-parent cases with regression tests.

Subject: [PATCH 017/117] fix(test): stop run --all --wait from polling queued
 runs past the shared deadline (#130)

runTestRunAll computes each member's poll budget as
Math.max(1, ceil(batchDeadlineMs - now)), so a run whose turn arrives
after the shared --timeout deadline still gets a fresh >=1s poll. With
--max-concurrency bounding the fan-out, a batch could overshoot the
documented shared deadline and report a late 'passed' for a member that
should have been reported as 'timeout' (exit 7).

Guard the poll helper the same way the create-batch --run --wait path
already does: if the shared deadline is exhausted before a member's
poll starts, return the existing timeout-shaped member result without
calling pollRunUntilTerminal. Regression test drives the clock past the
deadline during the first member's poll and asserts the second member
is never polled and reports 'timeout'.

Subject: [PATCH 019/117] fix(target-url): treat trailing-dot hostnames as
 loopback in SSRF guard (#37)

assertNotLocal lowercased the hostname but did not strip a trailing dot, so http://localhost. (the FQDN form of localhost, RFC 6761) and http://localhost%2e bypassed the host === 'localhost' loopback check. IP literals are already dot-normalized by the WHATWG URL parser, so only named hosts were affected. Strips one trailing dot before the comparison. Adds 4 regression tests (3 blocked variants + 1 public-FQDN no-false-positive).

Subject: [PATCH 021/117] fix(cli): validate --request-timeout flag and
 de-duplicate its parser (#17)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

`parseRequestTimeoutFlag` was copy-pasted byte-for-byte into five command
files (auth, project, usage, init, test). Every copy silently returned
`undefined` for an invalid value, so an explicit `--request-timeout 30s`
(a natural "30 seconds" typo) resolved to undefined and the command ran
with the default 120s deadline — the operator believed they had set a
timeout but had not, with no signal.

Hoist a single definition into client-factory.ts (next to
resolveRequestTimeoutMs and the REQUEST_TIMEOUT_* constants) and make the
flag strict: a non-numeric, zero, or negative value now throws a typed
VALIDATION_ERROR (exit 5), consistent with every other validated flag
(--page-size, --output, --type). Positive out-of-range values are still
accepted and clamped by resolveRequestTimeoutMs, and the
TESTSPRITE_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS env-var path stays lenient by design (a
stray global env var should not hard-fail every command).

Adds unit coverage for parseRequestTimeoutFlag and a subprocess
regression that `--request-timeout 30s` exits 5 instead of falling back
to 120s.

Subject: [PATCH 022/117] fix(rerun): emit partial stdout on TimeoutError in
 single-FE rerun --wait

Apply the fix in src/commands/test.ts. When the overall --timeout polling
deadline is exceeded on a single FE rerun, emit {runId, status:"running"}
to stdout before exit 7.

Subject: [PATCH 026/117] fix(paginate): bound cursor loops without dropping
 empty pages (#48)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

* fix(paginate): break loop on empty items with non-null nextToken

paginate() in pagination.ts entered an infinite loop when the API
returned { items: [], nextToken: 'cursor' }. The loop only checked
nextToken !== null, never whether items was empty. Any filtered list
command returning zero results would hang indefinitely.

Add an early-exit guard: if the page contains zero items, break
regardless of nextToken. Includes 5 unit tests covering the bug
reproduction, maxItems cap, single-page, and consecutive empty pages.

Closes #35

Signed-off-by: Aldo Rizona <aldorizona10@gmail.com>

* style(test): reflow pagination.test.ts to satisfy prettier format:check gate

Pure mechanical prettier reflow of two vi.fn(async () => ({...})) callbacks in
test/pagination.test.ts. No logic change — only line wrapping to satisfy the
format:check CI gate (npm run format:check). All other gates already pass.
Coverage remains >=80% on all 4 metrics (lines/statements/functions/branches).

* fix(paginate): bound cursor loops without dropping empty pages

Subject: [PATCH 033/117] fix(http): map non-JSON 200 responses to a typed
 error envelope (#166)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

A successful (200) response whose body is not JSON — a misconfigured
endpoint, a proxy / captive-portal / login page returning HTML with a
success status, or an empty body — caused the OK path to call raw
`response.json()`, whose SyntaxError escaped to the top-level handler.
That produced an opaque exit 1 and, under --output json, a bare
`{"error":"<parse message>"}` that breaks the typed-envelope contract
every other error honors (the non-OK path already reads defensively via
safeReadJson).

Wrap the OK-path parse failure in a typed INTERNAL ApiError (exit 1
unchanged) that carries the requestId, names the likely cause, and
points the operator at their endpoint config; details include the HTTP
status, content-type, and underlying parse message. Abort/timeout
errors mid-read keep their existing classification.

Fixes #94

 `--target-url` must be a publicly reachable URL — the CLI pre-flights it against local addresses (`localhost`, `127.x`, `::1`, `0.0.0.0`, `169.254.x`, RFC1918) and the backend resolves it via DNS. For testing against localhost, use the [TestSprite MCP plugin](https://www.testsprite.com/docs), which handles the local tunnel. The CLI auto-mints an idempotency key (printed to stderr under `--output json`, `--verbose`, or `--debug`); pass `--idempotency-key <uuid>` to control it explicitly.

Subject: [PATCH 035/117] fix(rerun): preserve exit code and escalate auth
 errors in batch rerun (#33)

pollAccepted in runTestRerun hardcoded exitCode:1 on ApiError, causing
the auth-escalation find(r => r.error?.exitCode === 3) to always return
undefined -- auth failures silently exited 1 instead of 3.

- preserve err.exitCode in pollAccepted (mirrors runTestRunAll fix)
- add auth escalation block before generic exit-1 throw
- bound initial chunk idempotency key to <=256 chars (mirrors retry path)

Subject: [PATCH 036/117] feat(agent): add kiro as an install target (#10)

* feat(agent): add kiro as an install target

Adds kiro as an own-file agent target on the current multi-skill model: AgentTarget union, a pathFor('kiro') case landing at .kiro/skills/<skill>/SKILL.md, and a TARGETS entry (experimental, own-file, wrapSkill frontmatter like claude/antigravity). Kiro installs both default skills (testsprite-verify + testsprite-onboard). Updates the --target help string, README/DOCUMENTATION target lists and counts, unit + command tests (six keys, list 12 rows, five own-file targets, 10 dry-run would-write lines, renderForTarget + content-integrity coverage), and regenerates the agent/setup help snapshots. Rebuilt on current main.

* test(e2e): include kiro in target matrix guards and multi-target install

The Local E2E Tests CI job failed because two matrix-coverage guards hardcoded the target set (claude, antigravity, cursor, cline, codex) and did not include the new kiro target. Add kiro (own-file, between cline and codex to match TARGETS order) to both guards, and add kiro to the multi-target install e2e so the target is actually exercised end-to-end.

 The `codex` target uses **managed-section mode** — it writes only a sentinel-delimited section inside your existing `AGENTS.md`, so your project instructions are never clobbered. Re-running without `--force` replaces the section in-place; user content outside the sentinels is always preserved.

Subject: [PATCH 037/117] fix(poll): emit partial run to stdout on TimeoutError
 in run --wait and test wait (#153)

Apply the fix in src/commands/ (the compiled CLI path). When the overall
--timeout polling deadline is exceeded, emit {runId, status:"running"} to
stdout before exit 7 so JSON agents can chain into test wait.

+ *                 line: the user edited the artifact after install.

Subject: [PATCH 041/117] fix(bundle): only sweep bundle-owned files in commit,
 preserving user files in --out dir (#162)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

commitBundle's stale-file sweep removed EVERY directory entry not part
of the fresh bundle, so 'test failure get --out <dir>' / 'test artifact
get --out <dir>' pointed at a pre-existing, populated directory silently
deleted the user's unrelated files (exit 0, no warning) — on the very
first write, not just re-commits.

Scope the sweep to entries the bundle format owns (result.json,
failure.json, video.mp4, meta.json, steps, .tmp, .partial, code.<ext>).
Stale bundle files are still cleaned — an old video.mp4 when the new
bundle has no video, a code.py when the new bundle writes code.ts — but
foreign files and directories are never touched.

Fixes #159

Subject: [PATCH 042/117] fix(rerun): reject explicit IDs with --all and
 --status/--skip-terminal without --all (#163)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Two silent-footgun gaps in test rerun's flag validation:

1. Explicit test IDs combined with --all silently discarded the listed
   IDs — the --all branch resolves the full project test set and
   overwrites them — so 'rerun test_abc --all' dispatched a batch rerun
   of EVERY test in the project, burning rerun/auto-heal credits with
   no error. Both siblings already guard this exact ambiguity (test
   run's positional+--all guard, delete-batch's ids+--all guard).

2. --status <list> and --skip-terminal without --all were silently
   ignored — including INVALID --status values, which were never
   validated — while the same misuse of rerun's own --filter (and
   delete-batch's --status) exits 5. All three narrowing filters now
   share the same guard.

Both reject with VALIDATION_ERROR (exit 5) before any network dispatch.

Fixes #160

Subject: [PATCH 043/117] docs(usage): add --debug example + exit codes to help
 text (#171)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The 'testsprite usage' command help text listed three examples but
omitted the --debug flag (a global option useful for diagnosing auth
and network issues). It also didn't document the exit codes, which
matters for CI/CD scripts that gate on the return value.

This PR adds:
- A --debug example showing what it traces (HTTP method/path, request
  id, latency) — useful when debugging 'auth error' or 'transport
  failure' messages.
- An explicit exit-codes section (0 success, 3 auth error, 10 network
  failure) so users scripting against the CLI know what to expect.

Pure documentation improvement — no behavioral change, no new deps.
Tested: existing unit tests pass (npm test).

Subject: [PATCH 044/117] fix(cli): route interactive prompts and prelude to
 stderr (keep stdout pure) (#31)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Interactive prompts (`prompt.ts` — the API-key prompt during `setup`/`auth
configure`, the target prompt during `agent install`) wrote the question and
masking to STDOUT, and the "Configuring profile …" prelude defaulted to
stdout too. On the interactive path that mixes UI text into stdout — and
under `--output json` it breaks the contract that stdout is a single JSON
document, so a consumer doing `JSON.parse(stdout)` fails.

Default both to stderr: prompts and informational preludes are interactive
UI, not result data. stdout now carries only the command's result (the §8.1
stdout-purity principle the repo already enforces elsewhere). stderr is still
the user's TTY, so prompts remain visible; the secret is still never echoed.
Callers that inject explicit streams are unaffected.

Adds regression tests: promptText writes the question to stderr by default,
and the configure prelude lands on stderr (not the result stdout).

Subject: [PATCH 048/117] feat(agent): add windsurf as an install target (#29)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Windsurf (Cascade) reads workspace rules from `.windsurf/rules/*.md`. Add it
as an own-file agent target so `testsprite agent install --target windsurf`
(and `setup --agent windsurf`) installs the TestSprite skills into a Windsurf
project. Reworked onto the v0.2.0 multi-skill agent-targets API (pathFor /
SKILLS / DEFAULT_SKILLS).

Rule files use Cascade frontmatter with `trigger: model_decision` — the
equivalent of the Cursor `.mdc` `alwaysApply: false` mode (description shown
up front; full body pulled in on relevance).

Budget handling: a `.windsurf/rules/*.md` file caps at ~12 K characters and
Cascade silently truncates beyond it, which would cut the full ~22 KB verify
skill in half. The windsurf target therefore renders the COMPACT body per
skill (new `compactBody` flag + `compactBodyFor`): a skill that ships a
trimmed codex asset (`testsprite-verify` → ~5 KB) uses it, while a skill whose
codex contribution is only a one-liner (`testsprite-onboard`, ~6.5 KB full)
keeps its full body — both land well under the cap. `agent.ts` and
`renderForTarget` select the same body so installed bytes match the render.

Everything else derives from the TARGETS map automatically (agent list, the
setup --agent choices, skill-nudge install detection). Updated the hardcoded
help strings, the --help snapshot, the agent-targets/agent unit tests (incl.
Cascade-frontmatter and per-skill budget tests), the e2e matrix guards /
content-integrity (gated on compactBody), and the README/DOCUMENTATION target
lists (incl. the --force own-file list).

Subject: [PATCH 049/117] feat(cli): honor HTTPS_PROXY/HTTP_PROXY/NO_PROXY
 behind corporate and CI proxies (#169)

* feat(cli): honor HTTPS_PROXY/HTTP_PROXY/NO_PROXY behind corporate and CI proxies

* fix(proxy): degrade to default dispatcher when proxy agent init fails instead of crashing startup

* fix(proxy): pin undici to ^7.16.0 for Node 20 compatibility (8.x requires Node >=22.19)

+### Update notice
+
+Interactive runs print a one-line "new version available" notice on stderr when
+a newer release exists. To learn this, the CLI contacts the public npm registry
+(`registry.npmjs.org`) at most once per 24 hours; the request carries the
+package name only — never your API key, project data, or command line. The
+check is skipped in CI, when stderr is not a TTY, under `--output json` /
+`--dry-run`, and entirely when `TESTSPRITE_NO_UPDATE_NOTIFIER` is set. Any
+failure is silent: the notice can never break or delay a command. This is the
+only outbound call the CLI makes besides your configured API endpoint.
+
 ### Scopes
 
 API-key scopes gate the write and run surfaces:

+/**
+ * Non-blocking "new version available" notice (issue #122), following the
+ * pattern of the gh and npm CLIs: at most one npm-registry probe per 24 hours,
+ * result cached on disk, advisory printed to stderr so stdout stays parseable.
+ *
+ * Behavior (`maybeNotifyUpdate`):
+ *   1. Gate through `shouldCheckForUpdate`; every gate below must pass.
+ *   2. Probe the npm registry for the `latest` dist-tag (1.5s hard timeout).
+ *   3. Stamp the cache with `lastCheckMs` (plus `latestKnown` when the probe
+ *      succeeded) so the next 24h of invocations skip the network entirely.
+ *      The stamp happens even after a failed probe: a dead registry must not
+ *      trigger a retry on every command.
+ *   4. When `latest` is strictly newer than the running version, write exactly
+ *      one advisory line to stderr. The function never throws or rejects and
+ *      never alters the exit status of the command it rides along with.
+ *
+ * Gates, in order (`shouldCheckForUpdate`):
+ *   - `TESTSPRITE_NO_UPDATE_NOTIFIER` set to any non-empty value: opted out.
+ *     Presence-style, mirroring gh's GH_NO_UPDATE_NOTIFIER: even "0" disables.
+ *   - `CI` set to anything except the literal "false": CI logs are not the
+ *     place for update nags. `CI=false` explicitly re-enables the notice.
+ *   - stderr is not a TTY: piped or redirected output stays clean.
+ *   - the on-disk cache is fresh (last probe within the TTL). A missing,
+ *     unreadable, corrupt, or wrong-shape cache counts as stale, and so does a
+ *     `lastCheckMs` in the future (clock rollback or corrupt data).
+ *
+ * Why not the npm `update-notifier` package: this CLI's runtime dependency
+ * budget is commander + valibot only (package.json). `update-notifier` would
+ * add a transitive dependency tree for what Node 20 already ships as
+ * primitives (fetch, AbortSignal.timeout, sync fs). Owning the ~100 lines
+ * keeps the install size flat and every effect injectable for tests.
+ *
+ * All effects (env, network, clock, fs, tty, stderr sink) are injectable via
+ * `UpdateCheckDeps`, the same dependency-injection style as `skill-nudge.ts`.

Subject: [PATCH 051/117] feat(cli): add 'test flaky' repeat-run flaky-test
 detector (#132)

* feat(cli): add 'test flaky' repeat-run flaky-test detector

* fix(flaky): cap --runs at 10 per maintainer scope (#115)

Rescope the flaky detector's --runs bound from 1-100 to 1-10 as requested in the #115 triage: uncapped FE replays amplify free executions. Updates the MAX_FLAKY_RUNS constant (which drives the validation, error message, and --runs help text), docs, changelog, and the runs-bound tests. Regenerates the help snapshot, which also adds the previously-missing 'test flaky' entry.

* test(snapshot): refresh flaky help snapshot after rebase onto main

Rebasing onto current main (which added the global --request-timeout option, #17) changes the 'Global options' line rendered in the test flaky --help output. Regenerate the snapshot so the help snapshot test stays green on CI.

* docs(changelog): resolve leftover merge-conflict markers (keep JUnit + flaky 1-10)

 ### Added
 
 - **JUnit XML report export for batch `--wait` runs.** `test run --all` and batch `test rerun` (`--all` or multiple test ids) accept `--report junit --report-file <path>` to write a CI-friendly XML sidecar after polling completes. `--output json` is unchanged; the report is written even when the batch exits non-zero. `--dry-run` writes a canned sample without network calls.
+- **`testsprite test flaky <test-id>`** — repeat-run flaky-test detector. Replays a test N times (`--runs <n>`, default 5), aggregates the outcomes, and reports a stability verdict (`stable` / `flaky` / `failing`) plus the `runId` and `failureKind` of every attempt that did not pass. Replays run with auto-heal OFF (strict verbatim) so a healed drift can't mask a nondeterministic pass/fail. Exit code is 0 only when every attempt passed, so CI can gate a merge on flakiness (`testsprite test flaky <id> --runs 5 || exit 1`). Flags: `--runs <n>` (1–10), `--until-fail` (stop at the first non-passing attempt), `--timeout <s>` (per-attempt), and `--output json` for a machine-readable stability report. Frontend replays are free verbatim script replays; a one-line advisory is printed for backend tests, whose closure reruns may cost credits.

 A batch rerun returns `accepted[]` (one `runId` per dispatched test) plus `deferred[]` for any test shed by the per-key run-rate limit; under `--wait`, a non-empty `deferred[]` exits 7 with a `nextAction` you can retry with a fresh idempotency key.
 
+#### `testsprite test flaky <test-id>`
+
+Detect a **flaky** test by replaying it several times and reporting how often it passes. Each attempt is a rerun with auto-heal **off** (a strict verbatim replay), so healed drift can't disguise a nondeterministic pass/fail — this measures the replay stability of the saved script against the configured URL. Frontend replays are free verbatim script replays; backend tests re-run their dependency closure and may cost credits (a one-line stderr advisory is printed before the run).
+
+```bash
+# Replay 10 times and print a stability score
+testsprite test flaky test_xxxxxxxx --runs 10
+
+# Fast "is it flaky at all?" — stop at the first non-passing attempt
+testsprite test flaky test_xxxxxxxx --runs 10 --until-fail
+
+# Machine-readable stability report for CI
+testsprite test flaky test_xxxxxxxx --runs 10 --output json
+```
+
+Flags:
+
+- `--runs <n>` — number of replays (1–10, default 5).
+- `--until-fail` — stop at the first attempt that does not pass.
+- `--timeout <s>` — per-attempt polling deadline (same semantics as `test wait`).
+
+`--output json` emits `{ testId, runs, passed, failed, stableRatio, verdict, failures: [{ attempt, runId, outcome, failureKind }] }`. Exit codes: **0** when every observed attempt passed (`stable`); **1** when any attempt did not pass (`flaky` or `failing`); **4** when the test has no replayable run (trigger `testsprite test run <id>` first); **5** on a validation error.
+
 #### `testsprite test wait <run-id>`
 
 Block until a run reaches a terminal status. Same exit-code matrix as `test run --wait`. Used to resume polling after a timed-out `test run --wait`, or when an agent already has a `runId` from a previous invocation.

+Notes:

+  • Replays use auto-heal OFF so a flaky test is not silently "healed" into a pass;
+    this measures replay stability of the saved script against the configured URL.
+  • \`--output json\` emits a machine-readable stability report for CI gating.

Subject: [PATCH 056/117] fix(batch): classify RequestTimeoutError as timeout
 in --all --wait fan-out (#154)

* fix(batch): classify RequestTimeoutError as timeout in --all --wait fan-out

When test run --all --wait or test rerun --all --wait hit a per-request timeout
during batch fan-out polling, RequestTimeoutError rejected the fan-out before
out.print(). Classify it as status:'timeout' in pollFreshAccepted and
pollAccepted so stdout always lists every dispatched runId.

* Remove unused readFileSync import from test file

Subject: [PATCH 058/117] feat(agent): add GitHub Copilot as an install target
 (#194)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

* feat(agent): add GitHub Copilot as an install target

Adds `copilot` to the agent-install targets. GitHub Copilot reads
path-specific custom instructions from `.github/instructions/*.instructions.md`
(VS Code / Visual Studio / Copilot Chat), with YAML frontmatter carrying an
`applyTo` glob. The skill installs to
`.github/instructions/testsprite-verify.instructions.md` (and the onboard
skill alongside) with `applyTo: '**'` so the guidance attaches to every
request in the repo.

Because `applyTo: '**'` is always-on (Copilot has no on-demand 'model
decides' mode like Cursor/Windsurf), the target renders the COMPACT body —
the same reasoning behind windsurf's compact render — keeping the
always-injected context small (~6 KB vs the ~23 KB full body).

Slots into the existing TARGETS machinery, so `agent list`, `setup --agent`,
and skill-nudge install-detection pick it up automatically. Updates the
AgentTarget union, pathFor, TARGETS, help/docs, unit + e2e matrix guards,
and the help snapshot.

Fixes #193

* fix(agent): include Kiro in the agent command description

The top-level `agent` command description listed the other targets but
omitted Kiro (a pre-existing gap), leaving it inconsistent with the
`--target` help text and the docs. Align the description with the
`--target` list so every supported target is named.

 The `codex` target uses **managed-section mode** — it writes only a sentinel-delimited section inside your existing `AGENTS.md`, so your project instructions are never clobbered. Re-running without `--force` replaces the section in-place; user content outside the sentinels is always preserved.

Subject: [PATCH 059/117] feat(cli): add "testsprite doctor" environment
 diagnostic (#183)

* feat(cli): add "testsprite doctor" environment diagnostic

One-shot preflight: checks CLI version, Node runtime, profile, API endpoint,
credentials, live connectivity (GET /me), and verify-skill install. Prints an
OK/WARN/FAIL report and exits non-zero when any check fails, so it gates a CI
step or agent preflight. Reuses the real resolution helpers; the API key is
never printed.

Fixes #73

* fix(doctor): address review findings

- Node check reuses the CLI runtime guard (shouldRejectNodeVersion) instead of a
  hardcoded major floor, so the verdict matches what the entrypoint enforces at
  startup; the precise 20.19+/22.13+/24+ engines are enforced by npm engine-strict.
- --request-timeout raises a validation error on malformed input instead of
  silently defaulting, matching the other commands.
- The --output json test asserts the API key never appears in the JSON path
  (distinct from the text renderer already covered).

Subject: [PATCH 060/117] feat(cli): graceful termination signals + broken-pipe
 guard (#185)

* feat(cli): graceful termination signals + broken-pipe guard

Install handlers for SIGINT/SIGTERM/SIGHUP that print a one-line explanation
(any started run keeps executing server-side; resume with `testsprite test list`
or `testsprite test wait <runId>`) and exit with the conventional 128+signum
code (SIGINT -> 130). Also guard EPIPE on stdout/stderr so piping to a reader
that closes early (`... | head`) exits cleanly instead of dumping a raw
`write EPIPE` stack. process and streams are injectable, so both are unit-tested
without spawning a subprocess or sending a real signal.

Fixes #75

* fix(interrupt): flush the signal message synchronously before exit

A signal handler calls process.exit() immediately after writing the interrupt
hint. When stderr is a pipe, an async process.stderr.write() may not flush
before the process terminates, so the hint could be lost. The default stderr
writer now uses fs.writeSync (best-effort, guarded against EPIPE) so the hint is
reliably emitted. Added a test mocking fs.writeSync to assert the synchronous
write on the default path.

+ * Process lifecycle hardening: graceful termination signals and broken-pipe.
+ *
+ * Termination signals: without a handler, Node terminates the process abruptly
+ * with no output, so a user (Ctrl+C), a CI runner or `docker stop` (SIGTERM), or
+ * a closed terminal/SSH session (SIGHUP) that interrupts a long
+ * `test run --wait` is left unsure whether the run was cancelled or is still
+ * executing server-side (it is: the CLI only polls; the run lives on the
+ * backend). The handler prints a one-line explanation plus how to resume, then
+ * exits with the conventional `128 + signal` code.
+ *
+ * Broken pipe: when output is piped to a reader that closes early
+ * (`testsprite ... | head`), the kernel raises `EPIPE` on the next stdout write.
+ * Node turns an `'error'` with no listener into an uncaughtException and dumps a
+ * raw `write EPIPE` stack (exit 1). The guard swallows it and exits 0, the
+ * conventional SIGPIPE-equivalent result for "the reader went away".
+ *
+ * `process` and the streams are injectable so the wiring is unit-testable
+ * without spawning a subprocess or sending a real signal.

 ### Added
 
-- **JUnit XML report export for batch `--wait` runs.** `test run --all` and batch `test rerun` (`--all` or multiple test ids) accept `--report junit --report-file <path>` to write a CI-friendly XML sidecar after polling completes. `--output json` is unchanged; the report is written even when the batch exits non-zero. `--dry-run` writes a canned sample without network calls.
-- **`testsprite test flaky <test-id>`** — repeat-run flaky-test detector. Replays a test N times (`--runs <n>`, default 5), aggregates the outcomes, and reports a stability verdict (`stable` / `flaky` / `failing`) plus the `runId` and `failureKind` of every attempt that did not pass. Replays run with auto-heal OFF (strict verbatim) so a healed drift can't mask a nondeterministic pass/fail. Exit code is 0 only when every attempt passed, so CI can gate a merge on flakiness (`testsprite test flaky <id> --runs 5 || exit 1`). Flags: `--runs <n>` (1–10), `--until-fail` (stop at the first non-passing attempt), `--timeout <s>` (per-attempt), and `--output json` for a machine-readable stability report. Frontend replays are free verbatim script replays; a one-line advisory is printed for backend tests, whose closure reruns may cost credits.
+- **`testsprite doctor`** — one-command environment diagnostic that checks your Node version, credentials, endpoint reachability, and installed agent skills, and reports what's misconfigured.
+- **`test scaffold`** — emit a schema-correct starter plan (frontend) or a backend test skeleton to bootstrap a new test without hand-writing the JSON.
+- **`test lint`** — offline validator for plan / steps files; catches malformed test definitions before they are sent to the server.
+- **`test diff <run-a> <run-b>`** — compare two runs of the same test to isolate what changed between a passing and a failing run.
+- **`test flaky <test-id>`** — repeat-run flaky-test detector. Replays a test N times (`--runs`, default 5), aggregates the outcomes, and reports a stability verdict (`stable` / `flaky` / `failing`) plus the `runId` and `failureKind` of every attempt that did not pass. Replays run with auto-heal off (strict verbatim) so a nondeterministic pass/fail can't be masked. Exit code is 0 only when every attempt passed, so CI can gate a merge on flakiness. Flags: `--runs` (1–10), `--until-fail`, `--timeout`, `--output json`.
+- **JUnit XML report export for batch runs.** `test run --all` and batch `test rerun` accept `--report junit --report-file <path>` to write a CI-friendly XML sidecar after `--wait` polling completes. The report is written even when the batch exits non-zero; `--output json` is unchanged; `--dry-run` writes a canned sample without network calls.
+- **`test wait` is now variadic** — pass several run ids to attach to and poll multiple runs in a single invocation.
+- **`agent status`** — report which TestSprite skills are installed for each agent target and whether they are current; installed skills are now stamped with a version/hash marker.
+- **New `agent install` targets:** GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, and Kiro (experimental), alongside the existing Claude / Cursor / Cline / Codex / Antigravity targets.
+- **`project credential` / `project auto-auth`** — configure a project's backend credentials (static credential, free) or a recurring auto-auth token (Pro) from the CLI, with surfaced auth warnings and managed-credential guidance.
+- **Proxy support** — the CLI now honors `HTTPS_PROXY` / `HTTP_PROXY` / `NO_PROXY` for use behind corporate and CI proxies.
+- **`NO_COLOR` support** — colored output is suppressed when `NO_COLOR` is set, per no-color.org.
+- **"New version available" notice** — a non-blocking, 24h-cached npm version check prints an upgrade hint on stderr. Opt out with the documented env var; automatically silenced in CI and under `--output json`.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Node.js 20.19+, 22.13+, or 24+ is now the minimum supported runtime.** The CLI checks the running Node version at startup and exits with a clear message on an unsupported version; builds and CI run against Node 20 and 22.
+- **Graceful shutdown** — the CLI handles termination signals cleanly and guards against broken-pipe (`EPIPE`) errors when its output is piped to a closing consumer (e.g. `| head`).
+- **Interactive prompts and preamble now go to stderr**, keeping stdout pure for machine consumers even in interactive mode.
+- **Empty environment variables are treated as unset** when resolving config, so `TESTSPRITE_API_URL=` no longer overrides the built-in default with an empty string.
+- `agent install` defaults `--target` to `claude` in non-interactive / CI contexts (matching `setup`).
+- The `usage` command no longer implies backend test runs are free.
+- `setup`'s "Next steps" guidance no longer suggests `test list` before any project exists.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Timeouts & polling:** `RequestTimeoutError` is now classified as a timeout in the `--all --wait` fan-out; per-attempt timeout timers are cleared so they can't fire late; `run --all --wait` no longer polls still-queued runs past the shared deadline; a partial result is emitted on stdout when `run --wait` / `test wait` times out (so a redirected file is never zero-byte).
+- **Batch rerun:** the exit code is preserved and auth errors escalate correctly; explicit ids combined with `--all` — or `--status` / `--skip-terminal` without `--all` — are rejected with a clear validation error; auto-minted idempotency keys are surfaced under `--output json`.
+- **HTTP:** non-JSON `200` responses map to a typed error envelope instead of crashing the parser.
+- **Failure bundles / artifacts:** artifact downloads retry on transient errors and guard the default run-id path; the `--out` directory no longer sweeps unrelated pre-existing files (data-loss fix); run-scoped per-step error text and step type are surfaced.
+- **Input validation (fail fast, before any network call):** malformed API keys, invalid `--request-timeout`, directory `--code-file` / `--out` paths, blank or whitespace-only `--name` (test and project create/update), blank inline project passwords, fractional pagination flags / page sizes, and `--since` overflow are all rejected up front with `VALIDATION_ERROR` rather than crashing or failing late server-side. `--output` is validated uniformly across all command groups.
+- **Setup / auth:** the endpoint is validated before the key check; the typed API-error envelope is preserved when key verification fails; the per-request timeout is honored during `configure`.
+- **Misc:** cursor pagination no longer drops empty pages; trailing-dot hostnames are treated as loopback by the local-target guard; buffered input is preserved between interactive prompts; the Codex managed-section skill check requires a complete section; `code get` strips a leading BOM and rejects an empty `--out`.
+
+### Security
+
+- **INI injection:** CR/LF characters are stripped from credential values before they are written to `~/.testsprite/credentials`.
+- **Symlink fail-close:** the own-file `agent install` path applies its symlink containment guard under `--dry-run` as well, so a planted symlink cannot place or clobber files outside `--dir`.

 ## Contribution model
 
-- **Small fixes and improvements:** just open a pull request. No issue required.
-- **Large or breaking changes** (new commands, changed flags/output, new
-  dependencies, refactors): **open an issue first** to discuss the design. This
-  avoids wasted work on something we'd ask you to rework or that's out of scope.
+- **Docs and small fixes** (typos, doc corrections, comment-only changes):
+  just open a pull request. No issue required (linking one is still
+  appreciated).
+- **Features and behavior changes** (new commands or flags, changed output,
+  new dependencies, refactors) follow **issue-first**:
+  1. Find an existing issue, or open a new one describing the change.
+  2. Claim it by commenting `/assign` on the issue — the literal slash
+     command on its own line. The triage bot assigns you automatically;
+     free-text requests ("can I take this?") are **not** detected.
+  3. If the issue is new, wait for triage — we check proposals against
+     [VISION.md](./VISION.md) and the [standing policies](#standing-scope-policies)
+     below before any code is written, so you don't invest in something
+     we'd ask you to rework or decline.
+  4. Open your PR with a closing link (e.g. `Closes #123`) in the
+     description.
+- **PR gate:** a bot checks every non-docs community PR for a closing-linked
+  issue that is **assigned to the PR author**. PRs that don't meet this get
+  the `needs-issue` label and a failing `PR triage` check, and **are not
+  reviewed** until it's fixed — file or claim the issue, add the closing
+  link, then edit the PR description (or push a commit) to re-run the check.
+- Suspected **security vulnerabilities** are the exception to "file an
+  issue": report them privately per [SECURITY.md](./SECURITY.md) instead.
 - We **do** accept community code contributions — this is an actively maintained
   open-source CLI, not a read-only distribution mirror.
 - See [VISION.md](./VISION.md) for what is in and out of scope.
 
+### Standing scope policies
+
+Pre-decided policies, so proposals don't have to relitigate them:
+
+- **Runtime dependencies are budgeted.** The CLI ships with a deliberately
+  tiny runtime dependency set (`commander`, `valibot`, plus `undici` —
+  approved for `HTTPS_PROXY`/`HTTP_PROXY`/`NO_PROXY` support). Any new
+  runtime dependency needs explicit maintainer sign-off **in the issue,
+  before the PR**. Utility modules land only together with the consumer
+  that uses them — standalone libraries are declined.
+- **`agent install` targets.** Shipped: `claude`, `antigravity`, `cursor`,
+  `cline`, `codex`, `kiro`, `windsurf`, `copilot`. Accepted and in progress:
+  `gemini`.
+  A proposal for a new target needs (1) the editor's official rules/skill
+  file mechanism, documented, and (2) the proposer prepared to maintain the
+  target going forward.
+- **Outbound network calls.** The CLI talks only to the configured
+  TestSprite API endpoint. The one approved exception is an opt-out-able
+  npm registry version check (at most once per 24h, carrying nothing but
+  the package name, fully silenced by its env opt-out and in CI/JSON/dry-run
+  modes or when stderr is not a TTY). Any other outbound call is out of scope.
+
 We aim to give every issue and PR a **first response within 5 business days**
 (best-effort). If something has gone quiet longer than that, a polite nudge on

 Supported targets: `claude` (GA), `codex` (experimental), `cursor` (experimental), `cline` (experimental), `antigravity` (experimental), `kiro` (experimental), `windsurf` (experimental), `copilot` (experimental).
 
+Omitting `--target` in a non-interactive shell (CI, agent subprocess) defaults to `claude` with an `[info]` note on stderr; in a terminal the CLI prompts (empty answer = `claude`).
+
+`agent status` checks every installed skill file against the current CLI version and reports one of `ok`, `stale`, `modified`, `unmarked`, `absent`, or `corrupt` per target. It exits `1` when anything needs attention, so `testsprite agent status && …` can gate a CI step; `--dir <path>` inspects a different project root.
+
 The `codex` target uses **managed-section mode** — it writes only a sentinel-delimited section inside your existing `AGENTS.md`, so your project instructions are never clobbered. Re-running without `--force` replaces the section in-place; user content outside the sentinels is always preserved.
 
 Re-running with `--force` on **own-file targets** (claude, cursor, cline, antigravity, kiro, windsurf, copilot) backs up the existing file to `<path>.bak` first.

 #### `testsprite test failure get <test-id>`
 
 The latest-failure agent entry point. Returns one consistent snapshot of the latest failing run as a self-contained bundle: the result, the failed step plus its immediate neighbors with screenshots and DOM snapshots, the test source, a video pointer, a root-cause hypothesis, a recommended fix target, and correlation metadata. For the bundle of a _specific_ run an agent just triggered, prefer `test artifact get <run-id>` — it is keyed by `runId` and cannot be raced by another run that lands afterward.

+Require the `write:tests` scope (project commands require `write:projects`), except `test scaffold` and `test lint`, which are pure-local authoring helpers — no network, no credentials, no scope.
+
+#### `testsprite test scaffold`
+
+Emit a schema-correct starter test definition — a frontend plan JSON by default, or a backend Python skeleton with `--type backend`. Pure-local: no network, no credentials. Edit the scaffold, then create the test with `--plan-from` / `--code-file`.
+

+testsprite test scaffold --out plan.json --force     # overwrite an existing file
+```

+#### `testsprite test lint`

+#### `testsprite project credential <project-id>`
+
+Set the **static backend credential** injected into every backend test in the project (free tier). Supported types: `public` (no credential), `"Bearer token"`, `"API key"`, `"basic token"`.
+
+```bash

+
+#### `testsprite project auto-auth <project-id>`
+
+Configure the **recurring-token (auto-refresh) login** for backend tests (Pro): a fresh token is fetched on each run and injected into every backend test, so long-lived suites survive token expiry.
+
+```bash
+# Password login: POST the login endpoint, extract the token, inject as a Bearer header
+testsprite project auto-auth proj_xxxxxxxx \
+  --method password --inject bearer \
+  --login-url https://api.example.com/login --login-method POST \

+
+Required flags: `--method <password|refresh_token|aws_cognito_refresh>` and `--inject <bearer|header|cookie>` (`--inject-key <name>` names the header/cookie when not `bearer`). Method-specific flags: password login uses `--login-url/--login-method/--login-content-type/--login-body-template/--username/--password[-file]/--token-path`; OAuth uses `--token-endpoint/--client-id/--client-secret[-file]/--refresh-token[-file]/--scope`; Cognito adds `--region`.

On a timeout the CLI still prints the partial run object (with `runId`) to stdout **before** exiting 7, plus a `nextAction` pointing at `test wait <run-id>` — so a script always has the id to resume with, and stdout is never empty.
+
+`--all --project <id>` runs every test in the project in wave order. On the current unified engine that means **all tests, frontend and backend**; on the legacy backend-only engine, frontend tests can't run — they are skipped and enumerated in `skippedFrontend` with a stderr advisory.

+Account pre-flight before a large batch: resolves the active key to its identity (`userId`, `keyId`, `env`) and surfaces the credit balance / plan fields when the backend supplies them. Useful right before a `test run --all` fan-out.

+#### `testsprite doctor`
+
+One-shot environment diagnostic. Runs a fixed checklist — CLI version, Node.js runtime, active profile, API endpoint, credentials, live connectivity + key validity (`GET /me`), and whether the verify skill is installed in the current project — and prints an OK/WARN/FAIL report. Exits non-zero only when a check **fails** (warnings, e.g. skill not installed, don't fail the process), so it can gate a CI step or an agent preflight:
+
+```bash
+testsprite doctor
+testsprite doctor --output json
+testsprite doctor && testsprite test run test_xxxxxxxx --wait

A closed stdout pipe (`EPIPE`, e.g. `testsprite test list | head`) exits `0` silently rather than crashing.

 > **Pointing a coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Cline, …) at TestSprite?** Have it run `testsprite setup` first — that installs the verification skill, so the agent knows how to create, run, and triage tests on its own (instead of guessing from this README). New here? Start with the **[getting-started overview](https://docs.testsprite.com/cli/getting-started/overview)**.

+other credential into the test. Before your script runs, TestSprite prepends a managed
+credential block built from the project's Authentication settings, and `__AUTH_HEADERS__`
+already contains the right header(s) for the configured auth type:
+
+```python
+# Auto-injected credentials — do not modify
+__AUTH_CREDENTIAL__ = "..."
+__AUTH_TYPE__       = "Bearer token"            # or "API key" / "basic token" / "public"
+__AUTH_HEADERS__    = {"Authorization": "Bearer ..."}   # API key → {"X-API-Key": "..."}; basic → {"Authorization": "Basic ..."}
+```
+
+Spread `__AUTH_HEADERS__` into every authenticated request — it adapts to whatever auth type
+the project is configured for, so the same line works for Bearer, API-key, or basic auth:
+
+```python
+r = requests.get(f"{TARGET_URL}/profile", headers={**__AUTH_HEADERS__})
+```
+
+Configure the credential **once on the project** (ask the user for the value — never invent
+or reuse a key you happened to see), and the block stays correct + refreshable:
+
+- **Bearer / API key / basic (static):**
+  `testsprite project credential <projectId> --type "Bearer token"|"API key"|"basic token" --credential <value>`
+- **Auto-refreshing login (recurring token):** `testsprite project auto-auth <projectId> …`
+
+A hardcoded token expires within hours (and a hardcoded key can't be rotated centrally), so
+the test breaks on later runs; the managed block is rewritten with a fresh value each run.
+`test create` emits a `[warn]` when it detects an inlined credential literal — treat that as
+a must-fix, not a nuisance.
+
 **Backend tests that share state declare dependencies at create time.** For a
 one-off verification, prefer a single self-contained script (log in inside the
 same file). But when the coverage set splits naturally into producer → consumer

+# backport-dispatch.yml — OPTIONAL latency optimization for DEV-352's
+# auto-backport bot. Authored in atlas (release/public path), ships to the
+# PUBLIC repo via the snapshot per invariant I0 — this workflow only ever
+# runs on the public repo, never on atlas (see the repo guard below).
+#
+# NOT YET ARMED (2026-07-15): the atlas-side auto-backport.yml has a
+# scheduled SWEEP (every 30 min) that scans merged public PRs anonymously
+# and backports anything unabsorbed — the whole pipeline is fully
+# functional with ZERO public-repo credentials via that path alone. This
+# workflow instantly notifies atlas the moment a PR merges instead of
+# waiting for the next sweep (seconds vs. up to 30 minutes) — a nice-to-have,
+# not a requirement.
+#
+# Arming it means placing a GitHub App credential with contents:write on
+# the PRIVATE atlas repo into THIS PUBLIC repo's secrets — a real trust
+# decision (a compromised public-repo secret store would let an attacker
+# push to atlas) that is deliberately left to the operator, not decided by
+# this file. Until TESTSPRITE_HOB_APP_ID/TESTSPRITE_HOB_PRIVATE_KEY (or the
+# ALFHEIM_AGENT_* fallback) exist on the PUBLIC repo with contents:write on
+# atlas, this workflow no-ops cleanly (see the "not armed" step) — it does
+# NOT fail loud, so it stays quiet for every contributor watching the
+# Actions tab until the operator decides to enable it.
+#
+# SECURITY: this workflow reads ONLY event metadata (PR number, merge SHA,
+# base ref) — it never checks out the merged PR's code. That is what makes
+# `pull_request_target` safe here: the base-repo context (secrets, a
+# write-capable token) is required because a fork-originated merged PR gets
+# ZERO secrets under a plain `pull_request` trigger, even for the `closed`
+# activity type — but nothing in this job ever runs untrusted fork code, so
+# the classic pull_request_target RCE/secret-exfiltration risk (checking
+# out and executing the fork's own head ref under a privileged context)
+# does not apply. Do not add actions/checkout to this workflow.

+- **`test cancel <run-id...>`** — user-initiated cancel of in-flight runs (the real stop button; Ctrl-C only detaches). A single id renders the run card with status `cancelled` (plus an advisory when it was already cancelled); multiple ids print a `{cancelled, alreadyCancelled, conflicts, notFound}` summary. Exit codes: 4 when any id is not found, else 6 on conflicts, else 0. `--dry-run` supported.
+- **Graceful Ctrl-C during `--wait`** — SIGINT/SIGTERM now detaches cleanly instead of killing the process mid-poll: the in-flight request aborts immediately, stdout gets the same partial `{runId, status: "running"}` envelope as the request-timeout path, and stderr states the truth — the server-side run keeps executing (and billing) — with a re-attach hint and a `test cancel` pointer. Exit 130/143/129 per the documented signal contract; a second signal forces a hard exit. Interrupting never cancels the server-side run — that's what `test cancel` is for.
+- **`project delete <project-id> --confirm`** — permanently delete a project and everything under it (its frontend/backend sub-projects, all their tests, and backend fixtures), mirroring the Portal's cascade delete. Requires `--confirm` (the CLI never prompts); `--dry-run` previews the response shape without a network call. Standard exit codes: 0 success, 3 auth, 4 not-found (or already-deleted), 5 validation (e.g. missing `--confirm`).
+- **Backend stdout and traceback in results** — `test result` and the failure bundle now surface the backend test's captured stdout and Python traceback: full content in `--output json` (and in `result.json` / `failure.json` bundle files), and a bounded 20-line tail with a byte count in text mode. No change for frontend tests, passing runs, or older backends.
+- **Backend dependency declarations are now readable and editable** — `test get` surfaces `produces` / `consumes` / `category`, and `test update` accepts `--produces` / `--needs` / `--category` (previously create-only).
+- **Version-compatibility handshake** — the CLI reads the backend's advertised minimum-supported-version on every response and prints a one-line upgrade advisory on stderr when the running version is below the floor (honors the same opt-outs as the update notice; never alters exit status). A `CLIENT_TOO_OLD` rejection (HTTP 426) is now a first-class error: exit 14, non-retriable, rendered with upgrade guidance and the version gap.
+- **V3 routing visibility** — `auth status` and `doctor` render a `routing: v2|v3` line when the backend reports the account's routing, and V3-routed accounts get one consolidated advisory listing the known V3-path behavior gaps. Text mode only — JSON consumers read `v3Enabled` from the `/me` payload; absent-safe against older backends.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **The `testsprite-verify` agent skill routes local-only changes to the TestSprite MCP** — the skill now states the reachability gate explicitly: the CLI verifies reachable deployed URLs only; when the change is only running locally, the skill hands off to the TestSprite MCP when available (an explicitly named tool always wins), instead of failing against localhost.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **`project create --description` now fails fast with a clear validation error** — projects have no description field, so the flag's value was previously dropped silently; the error points at test-level descriptions (`test create --description`) instead.
+- **Standalone backend run cards no longer show a misleading step summary** — `test run` / `test wait` / `test rerun` cards for backend tests render `steps: n/a (backend)` instead of `0/0 (passed=0, failed=0)` (backend tests have no per-step storage).

+## Developing on Windows
+
+Native Windows (no WSL, no Git Bash required) is a fully supported dev
+environment — you only need **git** and **Node ≥ 20**. `npm ci`, `npm run
+build`, `npm test`, `npm run lint`, and `npm run typecheck` all run the same
+way as on macOS/Linux, and CI runs the unit suite on `windows-latest` as the
+reference environment (see [CI gates](#ci-gates-required-for-merge) below) —
+if it's green there, it's green on your machine.
+
+A couple of things worth knowing:
+
+- Line endings are normalized to LF on checkout via `.gitattributes`
+  (`core.autocrlf` doesn't need any special local configuration).
+- `--out`/bundle-path flags accept native Windows paths (`C:\Users\...`)
+  including a trailing backslash and a bare drive root (`C:\`).
+- A small number of tests that create real filesystem symlinks are skipped on
+  Windows (creating a symlink there needs Administrator rights or Developer
+  Mode, which isn't guaranteed on hosted CI) — the safety behavior they cover
+  is still exercised on the Linux/macOS CI jobs.
+
+Hit something that doesn't work on Windows? Please file it — see
+[Questions & support](#questions--support) above, and feel free to tag it
+`good first issue` if it looks like an isolated fix; we'd rather know than
+have you route around it silently.
+

 - TypeScript type-check clean

 ### Signals & pipes
 
-On SIGINT (Ctrl-C), SIGTERM, or SIGHUP the CLI prints `Interrupted (<signal>). Any run already started keeps executing on the server; check it with 'testsprite test list' or 'testsprite test wait <run-id>'.` and exits `128 + signal`. **Ctrl-C does not cancel the server-side run** — execution (and any credit spend) continues; there is no cancel command today, so re-attach with `test wait <run-id>` instead of re-triggering. A closed stdout pipe (`EPIPE`, e.g. `testsprite test list | head`) exits `0` silently rather than crashing.
+During any `--wait`, SIGINT (Ctrl-C), SIGTERM, or SIGHUP triggers a **graceful detach**: the in-flight request aborts immediately, stdout gets the same partial `{ runId, status: "running" }` envelope as the request-timeout path (under `--output json`, stderr carries an `INTERRUPTED` envelope naming the signal), and stderr states the truth — the server-side run keeps executing, and any credit spend continues — with a re-attach hint (`test wait <run-id>`) and a `test cancel <run-id>` pointer. The exit code is `128 + signal` (130 / 143 / 129). A second signal forces an immediate hard exit. Outside a `--wait` (prompts, one-shot commands), signals keep the pre-existing immediate-exit behavior. **Ctrl-C never cancels the server-side run** — `test cancel <run-id...>` is the explicit stop. A closed stdout pipe (`EPIPE`, e.g. `testsprite test list | head`) exits `0` silently rather than crashing.

 > The earlier command names — `init`, `auth configure`, `auth whoami`, `auth logout` — still work as hidden, deprecated aliases (each prints a one-line notice pointing at the new name), so existing scripts keep running. `auth configure` now runs the full `setup` (it also installs the skill).

+# `scripts/` — what runs where
+
+Every file here is classified below so nobody has to guess whether it's
+safe/expected to run on a laptop, and so a Windows contributor knows exactly
+what (if anything) they're missing. Per DEV-356 ("Windows-proof the
+toolchain"): **the release/backport shell scripts are CI-only** — nothing in
+this directory requires a human to run bash or perl locally.

+## The upshot for a Windows contributor / operator
+
+- **Local dev loop** (`npm ci`, `npm test`, `npm run build`, `npm run lint`,
+  `npm run typecheck`) needs only **git + Node ≥ 20** — nothing in this
+  directory runs as part of that loop. See CONTRIBUTING.md's "Developing on
+  Windows" section.
+- **Releasing** does not require running `make-public-snapshot.sh` (or any
+  bash) on your own machine at all — it's a `workflow_dispatch` you trigger
+  and approve from a browser. See
+  [`docs/internal/cli-oss/release-pipeline-ops.md`](../docs/internal/cli-oss/release-pipeline-ops.md).
+- The **only** scenario that still touches bash directly is resolving a rare
+  backport cherry-pick conflict by hand — everything else in the pipeline is
+  either Node or runs unattended in Actions.

+ * Inline "your CLI is below the backend's minimum supported version" advisory.
+ *
+ * The backend advertises its supported floor on every `/api/cli/v1` response via
+ * the `X-TestSprite-CLI-Min-Version` header. Unlike the npm-registry update
+ * notice (`update-check.ts`, which runs in a Commander `preAction` hook before
+ * any HTTP request), this advisory reacts to a header observed *during* the
+ * request, so it is emitted from the HTTP layer's `onServerVersion` hook (wired
+ * in `client-factory.ts`) rather than the pre-request notifier — no cross-run
+ * cache needed.
+ *
+ * Distinct from the update notice on purpose, and non-redundant: this names the
+ * backend FLOOR and fires only when the running version is strictly below it (a
+ * serious "you will be rejected once enforcement is on" state); the update
+ * notice names the npm LATEST and fires whenever a newer release exists. Each
+ * owns its own number — the backend never advertises "latest".
+ *
+ * Reuses `compareSemver` and the `TESTSPRITE_NO_UPDATE_NOTIFIER` opt-out from
+ * `update-check.ts` so the gating and semver semantics stay consistent.

GitHub's runner infra force-upgrades actions/github-script@v7 to Node 24,
where the script-side require('@actions/github') can no longer resolve.
Every recent PR shows a red 'gate' check with 'Cannot find module
@actions/github' regardless of whether it links an issue.

- Pin actions/github-script to ed597411 (v8.0.0) in pr-triage, ci-nudge,
  issue-triage.
- Replace require('@actions/github').getOctokit(APP_TOKEN) with
  new (github.constructor)({ auth: APP_TOKEN }) — v8.0.0 injects no
  getOctokit helper (verified against src/async-function.ts at the pinned
  SHA), and the wrapped require cannot resolve modules without a checkout.
- Bump actions/stale to 1e223db (v10.4.0).

Diagnosis first surfaced by @sandman-sh in #257 — thank you! This lands
separately with a SHA pin and a require-free client construction.

Subject: [PATCH 070/117] feat(cli): add "testsprite completion" for
 bash/zsh/fish (#227)

Emit a shell completion script for bash, zsh, or fish. Command names,
subcommands, and global flags are derived from the fully-assembled Commander
tree at call time (buildCompletionSpec walks program.commands), so the script
can never drift from the real command surface. The shell auto-detects from
$SHELL when the argument is omitted.

Fixes #74

Subject: [PATCH 073/117] feat(test): add "test open <test-id>" to jump from
 the terminal to the dashboard (#226)

* feat(test): add "test open <test-id>" to jump from the terminal to the dashboard

* fix(open): derive the dry-run URL via resolvePortalUrl and handle async spawn ENOENT

* fix(browser): map non-http(s) URL rejection to exit 5 (validation error)

openInBrowser threw a plain Error for a non-http(s) URL, which fell through the top-level handler and exited 1. Route it through localValidationError so it is classified as VALIDATION_ERROR and maps to the documented exit code 5, matching every other bad-argument path. Test asserts the exit code, not the message string.

Subject: [PATCH 077/117] fix(init): skip API key prompt when credentials
 already exist (#234)

Add --skip-if-configured to testsprite setup (and the deprecated init
alias). When the active profile already has a saved API key and no
explicit key source (--api-key or --from-env) is given, the interactive
prompt is skipped and the existing key is reused.

Motivation: re-running setup to refresh the agent skill -- a common
pattern in dotfiles, onboarding scripts, and CI bootstraps -- currently
always re-prompts for the key, even when credentials were already
configured. The flag makes setup idempotent for the credential step.

Behaviour:
- runConfigure short-circuits with status:already_configured when
  skipIfConfigured is true and existingProfile.apiKey is present.
- runInit relaxes the non-interactive guard and the --output json guard
  when skipWillApply is true, so the flag works in CI (isTTY=false)
  and JSON mode without requiring a separate --api-key.
- --api-key always overwrites, regardless of --skip-if-configured.
- --from-env always overwrites, regardless of --skip-if-configured.
- --dry-run is unaffected (no network, no writes; preview only).

New tests (8 cases across auth.test.ts and init.test.ts):
- skips prompt and returns early when credentials exist (text + JSON)
- proceeds to prompt when no credentials exist
- allows isTTY=false CI runs when skip applies
- --api-key overwrites despite skip flag
- --from-env overwrites despite skip flag

Closes #206

Subject: [PATCH 103/117] fix(test): create-batch --run without --wait exits 0
 on a fully successful dispatch
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The no-wait fan-out returns each result with the trigger response's status,
which is `queued` by design (non-terminal — the field is documented as
"Terminal status if --wait; queued if no --wait"). But the exit-code logic
only recognized terminal statuses:

    const allPassed = batchRunResults.every(r => r.status === 'passed');

Every no-wait result is `queued`, so `allPassed` was always false and the
command fell through to exit 1 with a misleading "N of N run(s) did not
pass" — even when every trigger was dispatched successfully. This broke the
documented exit-code contract (the DOCUMENTATION.md create-batch example
uses `--run --max-concurrency 4 --output json`, no `--wait`), failed CI on
fully successful dispatches, and was internally inconsistent with single
`test run <id>` without `--wait`, which exits 0 on a successful `queued`
dispatch.

In the no-wait case "success" means every trigger dispatched without error
(statuses are non-terminal by definition). The exit-code block now branches
on `opts.wait`:

    const failing = opts.wait
      ? batchRunResults.filter(r => r.status !== 'passed')
      : batchRunResults.filter(r => r.error !== undefined);
    if (failing.length === 0) return; // exit 0

Trigger errors in no-wait mode keep today's aggregation (uniform specific
code when shared, else exit 1), and the "did not pass" message becomes
"N of N trigger(s) failed" when `--wait` is absent. The stderr text summary
is likewise corrected for no-wait mode — it now reports "N/N triggered"
instead of misreading a successful dispatch as "0/N passed".

Adds three specs in test.create-batch-run.spec.ts: all-queued (json) →
resolves without error and never polls; all-queued (text) → "N/N triggered"
summary, no "passed"/"did not pass" wording; partial trigger failure → still
exits non-zero with the full results envelope. The two success specs fail
against the pre-fix exit-code block and pass with it. Existing no-wait specs
only exercised error scenarios and never asserted the success exit code,
which is how this slipped through.

Fixes #161

+Bulk-create frontend tests from a JSONL plan-steps file (or a directory of plan files with `--plan-from-dir`). Optional `--run --max-concurrency <N>` fans out triggers. Without `--wait`, each run is dispatched (`status: "queued"`) and the command exits 0 when every trigger is accepted — mirroring single `test run` without `--wait`; a trigger error still exits non-zero. With `--wait`, it polls every run to terminal and exits non-zero if any run does not pass.

 ### Update notice
 
 Interactive runs print a one-line "new version available" notice on stderr when
 a newer release exists. To learn this, the CLI contacts the public npm registry
 (`registry.npmjs.org`) at most once per 24 hours; the request carries the
-package name only — never your API key, project data, or command line. The

 check is skipped in CI, when stderr is not a TTY, under `--output json` /
 `--dry-run`, and entirely when `TESTSPRITE_NO_UPDATE_NOTIFIER` is set. Any
 failure is silent: the notice can never break or delay a command. This is the

 every `/api/cli/v1` response. When the running CLI is below that floor, a
 one-line upgrade advisory is printed to stderr (same opt-outs as the update

+/**
+ * Valibot schemas for the run-path wire shapes (issue #102).
+ *
+ * `requestWithMeta` used to return `(await response.json()) as T` with zero
+ * runtime validation, so a drifted or partial server response surfaced as
+ * `undefined` output or an opaque TypeError deep inside a command. These
+ * schemas are wired (opt-in, via `RequestOptions.schema`) into the typed
+ * HttpClient helpers only: `triggerRun`, `triggerRunWithMeta`, `triggerRerun`,
+ * `triggerBatchRerun`, `triggerBatchRunFresh`, `getRun`, `listTestRuns`.
+ * The generic `get`/`post`/`put`/`patch`/`delete` paths stay schema-free.
+ *
+ * Resilience rules (additive server changes must never hard-fail the CLI):
+ *
+ * 1. Every object is `v.looseObject`: unknown extra keys pass validation AND
+ *    are preserved in the output, so a new server field still reaches
+ *    `--output json` consumers untouched.
+ * 2. Enum-ish string fields (`status`, `source`, `role`, step `type`, ...) are
+ *    validated as open strings via {@link openWireLiteral}: the CLI already
+ *    treats unknown values as open (e.g. `isTerminalStatus` returns false and
+ *    the poll continues; renderers print the raw value), so a new server enum
+ *    member must degrade gracefully, never reject the whole response.
+ * 3. REQUIRED-nullable interface fields use `v.nullish(inner, null)`: the wire
+ *    may omit a nullable field entirely (real fixture evidence: the chained
+ *    `test create --run` poll bodies in `test.test.ts` omit `error`), and
+ *    every consumer already null-checks these, so absence normalizes to
+ *    `null` instead of failing. OPTIONAL interface fields (`?`) use
+ *    `v.optional` with NO default so presence/absence semantics that commands
+ *    branch on (e.g. `RerunResponse.closure`, `RunResponse.steps`) survive
+ *    validation byte-identically.
+ *
+ * Each schema is annotated `v.GenericSchema<unknown, T>` against the
+ * interface it mirrors, so schema/interface drift fails `tsc` in this file.

 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.5.0] - 2026-08-05
+
+### Added
+
+- **Command-outcome telemetry — one event per invocation, opt out with one env var.** The CLI now posts a single "how did that command end" event to the TestSprite backend (`POST /api/cli/v1/telemetry`), which forwards it server-side; the CLI ships no analytics SDK and no write key. The payload is a fixed allowlist of low-cardinality fields — the leaf command that ran, `success`/`error`, the exit code, a stable machine `errorCode`, and a duration. It never carries target URLs, API keys, flag values, argument values, or error messages. Opt out with `TESTSPRITE_NO_TELEMETRY` or the cross-tool `DO_NOT_TRACK`. Nothing is sent when no API key is configured, under `--dry-run`, when no leaf command ran (bare `--help`, a parse error), on Ctrl-C, or from the purely local `completion` / `test create --plan-template` paths. The post is bounded at one second and every failure is swallowed: telemetry can never change a command's output, exit code, or duration beyond that bound.
+- **`test result --history --rerun` / `--no-rerun`** — narrow run history to only reruns or only fresh runs. Applied client-side on each page's `isRerun` (the backend has no rerun filter), so — exactly like `--source` — a filtered page can come back short or empty while `nextCursor` is still set; paginate to continue. Absent means no filter, never a silent default.
+- **`sk-member-` membership keys are accepted.** Workspace membership keys are now minted with an `sk-member-` prefix. The CLI's fail-fast key-format check knew only `sk-user-` and `tsp_`, so it rejected every newly minted membership key locally, before the key ever reached the server. All three families are now accepted from one list that also renders the error message, so the check and the message cannot drift apart; existing `tsp_` keys keep authenticating.
+- **`project get` shows the project's target URL.** A backend project created without `--url` is dead on arrival on the V3 execution path (its first run is rejected `no-target-resolvable`), and there was no way to see that from the CLI. `project get` now prints `targetUrl`, and `(not set)` plus the exact `project update … --url` fix-it command when there is none. Absent-safe: against a backend that does not report the field the line is omitted entirely rather than claiming every project is URL-less. `project list` deliberately does not show it — resolving it per row costs one extra read per project.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **`--wait` no longer fails a healthy V3 backend run.** A V3 run reports `targetUrl: null` (and `codeVersion: null` for a plan-driven frontend case with no code row), which the response validator rejected — so `test create --run --wait` and `test wait` printed `INTERNAL: Response shape mismatch` _after_ the run had already dispatched. The wire contract always allowed null on those fields; the CLI was the side out of spec.
+- **A rate limit no longer ends a multi-run `test wait`.** With several run ids, one 429 from the backend's IP-keyed limiter (which a CI runner or NAT can trip through no fault of the key) recorded that member as a poll error and exited 7 — reporting a healthy run as a failure to observe it. Each member now re-polls up to 3 times honoring the server's `Retry-After`; every backoff is clamped to the shared `--timeout` deadline, stays interruptible by Ctrl-C, and reports a timeout rather than a rate limit if the deadline is reached during one. When a throttle outlasts the retry budget **and** nothing else went wrong, the exit code is 11 (rate limited — back off, then re-attach) instead of 7, which told an automated caller to retry immediately and walk straight back into the limiter. Any real timeout or non-passed run in the same invocation still exits 7 / 1.
+- **`usage` reports the wallet that actually pays for your runs.** On an organization-billed account the spend drains the workspace wallet, so the legacy per-user balance was a number that never moved. When the backend reports an active organization, `usage` renders the workspace block (plan, remaining, per-seat allowance, seats) and suppresses the legacy balance; `auth status` gains a one-line `org:` summary. The `~N runs` estimate stays on the legacy path — workspace billing prices each action separately, so there is no single per-run rate.
+- **`--no-auto-heal` was a silent no-op on rerun, and `test flaky` never disabled healing at all.** The rerun request body omitted `autoHeal` entirely when you opted out, and the server treats an absent field as heal-on — so the opt-out did nothing, and `test flaky`'s strict verbatim replays (whose whole point is that a nondeterministic pass cannot be masked by a heal) were quietly healing too. All three rerun dispatch sites now send an explicit boolean, `test flaky` always sends `autoHeal: false`, and `--dry-run` previews the same body the real request sends. Rerun and batch-rerun responses may also carry advisories now (e.g. an engine that does not yet honor the opt-out); each renders as one `[advisory]` line on stderr, deduped across batch chunks, deferred retries, and flaky probes.
+- **One closure member's poll error no longer discards a whole backend `test rerun --wait`.** A backend rerun expands its dependency closure server-side and polls every member. A single member's non-timeout poll error (an API error, a transient failure, a malformed response) rejected the entire fan-out, throwing away the sibling results **and** the named test's own verdict. Classifiable member errors now land in `closureFailures[]` and the named test still prints its result; its own error, if any, is re-thrown after the payload. Any unobserved member — timed out or poll-errored — still forces exit 7, so `--wait` never reports success with an unconfirmed dependency.
+- **Run cards use the server's dashboard link when it offers one.** `GET /runs/{runId}` may now carry a server-built `dashboardUrl`, and the run-completion paths prefer it over the link this process templates. Two things the server knows and the CLI cannot: which store answered the read (a project created through the V3-native write path has no row behind the route the CLI templates, so its link could not render at all), and the portal origin outside production (against any non-prod endpoint the CLI printed no link whatsoever). An absent field reopens the client computation, so an older backend behaves exactly as before. Separately, a `dashboardUrl: null` on the wire no longer fails response validation and kills `test wait` — the same trap that had to be un-sprung for a null `targetUrl`.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **`auth status` and `doctor` explain a workspace you cannot reach.** An API key belongs to exactly one workspace, chosen when it is minted. Someone in a team using a personal key previously just saw the team's projects missing from `project list`, and addressing one by id failed the same way a typo does. Both commands now name the unreachable workspaces and point at minting a key there. Silent for solo users and for keys that are already workspace-bound.
+- **The V3 routing advisory only lists gaps that are still open.** It claimed `test cancel` could 404 and `test delete` could leave a zombie run; both have shipped. It now names the two real ones: `--target-url` is ignored on frontend runs, and a frontend rerun replays the run it was pointed at rather than the latest saved code.

+
+**Size cap:** the whole file must be **≤ 256 KB** (`test create-batch` caps the aggregate batch at 5 MB / 50 specs). Both caps are enforced client-side before any network call.
+
+**`{{...}}`-style placeholders are NOT substituted.** The CLI does no variable substitution — a step like `"description": "log in as {{LOGIN_USER}}"` is structurally valid (it validates and creates fine) but the browser agent types the literal braces into the field. `test create --plan-from` prints a non-fatal `[advisory]` when it detects one; store login credentials on the project instead: `testsprite project update <project-id> --username <user> --password <pw>`, or Portal → Project Settings.
+
+**`$schema` for live editor validation:** the optional `"$schema"` key above (an ordinary extra property — the CLI does not restrict a plan file to a fixed property set, so a non-string value there is exactly as valid as a string one) points VS Code's JSON language service — and by extension Copilot's inline completions — at [`schemas/plan.schema.json`](./schemas/plan.schema.json), shipped in both this repo and the npm package. Point it at a local copy instead (`node_modules/@testsprite/testsprite-cli/schemas/plan.schema.json`) if you'd rather not depend on the network URL resolving in your editor. This value is **version-pinned** (`v<CLI version>`, not `main`) — a plan authored against one CLI version keeps resolving the SAME schema later, even after `main` gains new required fields.
+
+**Machine-readable ground truth**, for tooling that wants to fetch the contract instead of parsing this page: [`schemas/plan.schema.json`](./schemas/plan.schema.json) — this schema is the ground truth for the `--plan-from` **command** end-to-end (e.g. it restricts `type` to `"frontend"` only, matching what actually succeeds, not `assertPlanShape`'s looser raw structural check in isolation); if the schema and the validator ever disagree, the validator's real acceptance behavior is authoritative and the schema is out of date. The schema file's own internal `$id` intentionally stays pinned to the canonical `main` URL — `$id` is the schema's IDENTITY (what it calls itself for cross-referencing), not a fetch instruction, so it does not need version-pinning the way the `$schema` fetch hint above does.
+
+**Multiple tests?** Draft a `plans.jsonl` (one plan object per line) or a directory of `*.json` plan files, then `test create-batch --plans <file.jsonl>` / `--plan-from-dir <dir>`. Max 50 specs / 5 MB per batch.
+
+**Zero-cost iteration loop:** `test create --plan-from <file> --dry-run` runs the exact same local validation as a real create — no network call, no auth, no credits spent — so an agent (or you) can iterate on a plan file until it validates before ever hitting the API. `test lint` runs the same validators across a whole batch, collecting every problem instead of stopping at the first.

+Detect a **flaky** test by replaying it several times and reporting how often it passes. Each attempt is a rerun with auto-heal **off** (a strict verbatim replay), so healed drift can't disguise a nondeterministic pass/fail — this measures the replay stability of the saved script against the configured URL. Each replay is billed as a rerun, same as a fresh run: 0.5 credits for a frontend replay, 0.2 credits for a backend replay (legacy V2 accounts: FE rerun remains free) — so `--runs N` costs roughly N×0.5 credits for a frontend test. A one-line stderr advisory is printed before a backend replay.

 With several ids, a per-member poll error (e.g. one id not found) is recorded as `error:<CODE>` in that run's row and folded into exit 7, rather than aborting the whole batch. Polling is handled automatically — the CLI uses server-driven long-poll where supported and exponential backoff with jitter otherwise, honoring `Retry-After`.
 
+A `RATE_LIMITED` (429) poll is the one per-member error that is retried before it becomes an outcome: each member re-polls up to 3 times, sleeping the server's `Retry-After`. Each backoff is clamped to the shared `--timeout` deadline, and a backoff interrupted by Ctrl-C detaches normally; if the deadline is reached during one, that member reports a **timeout** (exit 7), not a rate limit.
+
+If the throttle outlasts the retry budget **and** nothing else went wrong — no timeouts, no failed runs, no other error codes, and no repeated run id in the argument list — the exit code is **11** (rate limited) rather than 7, because the correct next action is to back off before re-attaching, not to retry immediately. Any timeout or non-passed run in the same invocation keeps the usual 7 / 1.
+
+One caveat this does not fix: the HTTP layer's own 429 retries (up to 3, honoring `Retry-After`) are bounded by their own budget, not by `--timeout`, so a sustained throttle can still overshoot the deadline by roughly one retry chain before the command gives up. That is pre-existing behavior on every polling command, not something this retry loop introduced — the outer loop re-checks the deadline before each of its own attempts.

 #### `testsprite test cancel <run-id...>`
 
 Cancel one or more in-flight runs — the counterpart to Ctrl-C, which only **detaches** (the server-side run keeps executing and billing). Cancelling is idempotent: an already-cancelled run reports `alreadyCancelled` as an advisory, not an error; a run that already reached a terminal verdict is a conflict — the verdict is never overwritten, and no credits are refunded. With one id, prints the run card; with several, prints a `{ cancelled, alreadyCancelled, conflicts, notFound }` summary. Exit codes: any unknown id → 4; else any conflict → 6; else 0.

+### Telemetry
+
+Authenticated runs send one best-effort "command outcome" event per invocation
+to TestSprite (`POST /api/cli/v1/telemetry`) so we can measure which commands
+run and diagnose failures. Each event carries only: the command name (e.g.
+`test run`), the outcome (`success`/`error`/`abort`), the exit code, a machine
+error **code** (e.g. `VALIDATION_ERROR`), the duration, and context (CLI
+version, OS, Node version, output mode, CI-vs-interactive).
+
+It **never** sends: your API key, target URLs, flag or argument values, or error
+**messages**. The event is a fixed allowlist, bounded to ~1s, and fully
+best-effort — it never delays beyond that, never changes a command's behavior or
+exit code, and is skipped entirely when no API key is configured or under
+`--dry-run`.
+
+Opt out with `TESTSPRITE_NO_TELEMETRY=1` or the cross-tool
+`DO_NOT_TRACK=1` (any truthy value; `0`/`false`/empty do not opt out).

+### Ambiguous org id (exit 6)
+
+For a membership-scoped API key, a testId can — pathologically — resolve to
+projects in more than one of your organizations. The CLI prints one
+`candidate: project <id> (org <id>)` line per colliding project plus a hint
+to re-run with `--project <id>`, and exits `6` (same family as a generic
+conflict; retrying does not resolve it). `--output json` carries the same
+information in `error.details.candidates`.
+
 ### Signals & pipes
 
 During any `--wait`, SIGINT (Ctrl-C), SIGTERM, or SIGHUP triggers a **graceful detach**: the in-flight request aborts immediately, stdout gets the same partial `{ runId, status: "running" }` envelope as the request-timeout path (under `--output json`, stderr carries an `INTERRUPTED` envelope naming the signal), and stderr states the truth — the server-side run keeps executing, and any credit spend continues — with a re-attach hint (`test wait <run-id>`) and a `test cancel <run-id>` pointer. The exit code is `128 + signal` (130 / 143 / 129). A second signal forces an immediate hard exit. Outside a `--wait` (prompts, one-shot commands), signals keep the pre-existing immediate-exit behavior. **Ctrl-C never cancels the server-side run** — `test cancel <run-id...>` is the explicit stop. A closed stdout pipe (`EPIPE`, e.g. `testsprite test list | head`) exits `0` silently rather than crashing.

+ * Closure fan-out partial-results tests for `test rerun --wait` (BE).
+ *
+ * Split out of `test.rerun.spec.ts` (which is already the largest rerun spec):
+ * that file sits at the Windows-CI vitest reporter-RPC threshold, and growing
+ * it tips the `onTaskUpdate` worker call into a timeout. These focused cases
+ * live in their own small file so the big suite stays under that threshold.
+ *
+ * Behavior under test: one closure member's non-timeout poll error must NOT
+ * reject the whole fan-out — siblings survive and the partial still prints.
+ * The errored member is collected in `closureFailures[]` tagged `unobserved`,
+ * which flips `--wait` to exit 7 (its verdict was never confirmed). The named
+ * test's own error is re-thrown after the payload prints (real exit code
+ * preserved). All HTTP is mocked; the polling loop's sleep is injected via
+ * `TestDeps.sleep`.

+ *   - Authenticated-only: skipped when no api-key is configured (the backend
+ *     keys the event on the api-key's user; anonymous events are out of scope).
+ *   - Opt-out: skipped when `TESTSPRITE_NO_TELEMETRY` or the cross-tool
+ *     `DO_NOT_TRACK` is set. Also skipped under `--dry-run` (no network) and
+ *     when no leaf command actually ran (bare `--help` / parse errors).
+ *   - Never on abort (SIGINT/SIGTERM): Ctrl-C must exit immediately, so the

+# Ported from community PR https://github.com/TestSprite/testsprite-cli/pull/220
+# (author @OkeyAmy), adapted to this repo's actual constraints:
+#
+#   - No CodeQL job. This repo (testsprite-cli-atlas) is a private Team-plan
+#     repo without GitHub Advanced Security purchased — the CodeQL Action
+#     (init/analyze) hard-fails here (`Code Security must be enabled for this
+#     repository to use code scanning`, verified against the live API before
+#     writing this file). CodeQL is free on the public mirror
+#     (TestSprite/testsprite-cli) instead, enabled there via GitHub's
+#     repository-level "default setup" — a SETTING, not a workflow file — so
+#     there is nothing here for the outbound snapshot to carry or exclude,
+#     and no risk of the two CodeQL configuration modes (default setup vs.
+#     workflow-based) conflicting on the public repo.
+#   - `dependency-review-action` has the same Advanced-Security requirement on
+#     private repos, so its job only executes once this file is running in
+#     the public mirror (see the job's own `if:`) — it still exists as a
+#     no-op step on every atlas PR/push rather than failing one.
+#   - `eslint-plugin-security` lints only files changed in this PR/push (see
+#     the `lint-security` job), not the whole tree: a full-tree run surfaces
+#     ~380 pre-existing findings (almost entirely
+#     `security/detect-non-literal-fs-filename` on ordinary local-path fs
+#     calls a config-file-reading CLI makes routinely — not a real
+#     vulnerability signal for this codebase shape). Blocking on that
+#     backlog on day one would make the job noise from the first run; this
+#     keeps every rule at its designed severity and holds new/changed code to
+#     it without silently exempting the existing tree from the rule.
+#   - Secret scanning: this repo's `ci.yml` already runs a gitleaks
+#     WORKING-TREE scan on every PR/push (added by atlas #274, 2026-07). This
+#     file adds the complementary FULL-HISTORY scan from #220 as its own job,
+#     scoped to `push` only (not every PR iteration) — full-history scanning
+#     needs `fetch-depth: 0` and walks every past commit, which is too slow
+#     to run per-PR (the same tradeoff `docs/internal/cli-oss/
+#     supply-chain-hardening.md` §1.4 already made for `ci.yml`'s job) but is
+#     the only mode that catches a secret that was committed and later
+#     removed from the working tree. Uses the checksum-verified pinned-binary
+#     install pattern already established by `ci.yml`/`divergence-sentinel.yml`
+#     rather than `gitleaks/gitleaks-action` (#220's choice): that action
+#     requires a `GITLEAKS_LICENSE` for org-owned repos — this org owns both
+#     testsprite-cli repos, so "free mode" does not apply — and adding it
+#     would introduce a new third-party `uses:` entry that the public repo's
+#     `allowed_actions` allowlist does not carry.
+#   - No `pnpm-lock.yaml` (this is an npm-only repo — see package-lock.json)
+#     and no `sandbox/**` ignore additions (no such directory exists in this
+#     repo; #220 never explained the addition).

 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.6.0] - 2026-08-12
+
+### Added
+
+- **CI-native output now covers single-run `--wait` and batch rerun.** `--gh-output` / `--summary-file` (contributed in community PR #264 for `test run --all --wait`) now also work on `test run <id> --wait` and `test rerun --all --wait`, so a CI job that runs one test or reruns a batch gets the same `::error::` annotations and machine summary as a fresh batch — written right after the JUnit report on the rerun path. The summary and annotations land even when the command exits non-zero, the emit is best-effort (a sink write failure such as EPIPE can never change the command's exit code), and non-dispatched work — rate-deferred, conflicted, or not-found tests — is folded into the summary as non-passed rows, so a partial batch can never read as "all passed". Workflow-command data and job-summary table cells are escaped: a multiline run error cannot inject `::commands` into the Actions stream or break the summary table.
+- **`--target-url` now warns when it cannot apply (V3 path).** On a V3-routed account, `test run --target-url` is validated server-side and then discarded — V3 resolves the run's environment at execution time, so there is no per-run override. The CLI now makes a bounded, best-effort account check (only when the flag was supplied) and prints a stderr `[advisory]` that the flag will not take effect; `test create-batch --run` fires the same advisory once before the fan-out. It fires in every `--output` mode — JSON/CI is exactly the unattended case that needs it — and can never affect stdout or the exit code.

+- **Create paths prefer the server's dashboard link and never print a dead one.** `test create` / `test create-batch` / `--plan-from` computed the Portal `dashboardUrl` entirely client-side in the legacy route shape, which 404s for a V3-native create. A server-provided `dashboardUrl` on the create response now wins, under the same three-state contract the run paths use: a string is used verbatim; `null` means the server looked and there is no correct link, so an `[advisory]` points at `test get <id>` instead of printing a URL that would 404; only an absent field (an older backend) falls back to the client computation. The decision is resolved once at create time and reused verbatim by the `--run` fan-out, and `test create --run` in text mode prints the server link again (its `Dashboard:` line had been dropped in the delegation to the run renderer).
+- **Best-effort pre-flight lookups can no longer stall a real command behind a rate limit.** The duplicate-name advisory's 5-second deadline bounded the fetch but not the retry sleep, so a 429 carrying a long `Retry-After` could park an otherwise-healthy `test create` behind an advisory; the same applied to the `--target-url` account check. Both lookups now skip rate-limit retries entirely — a throttled advisory is dropped, never waited on.
+- **Long `--wait` sessions no longer accumulate abort-signal churn.** Every poll iteration and every HTTP attempt composed a fresh abort signal against the process-lifetime shutdown signal, registering finalization-tracked dependents by the hundreds of thousands over a large batch — measured as multi-second stalls during engine cleanup passes. The poll loop now reuses one controller per session and the HTTP layer composes signals manually with listeners it removes synchronously; timeout, Ctrl-C, and retry behavior are unchanged.

+**GitHub-native CI output** (contributed in [#264](https://github.com/TestSprite/testsprite-cli/pull/264)): when `GITHUB_ACTIONS=true`, any `test run --wait` (single test or `--all`) and any batch `test rerun --wait` additionally emit one `::error::` workflow-command line per non-passed run (annotating the PR checks tab) and append a Markdown results table to the job summary (`$GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY`). Pass `--gh-output` to force the annotations outside Actions (previewable locally), and `--summary-file <path>` to also write the reduced machine summary JSON (`{total, passed, failed, timedOut, runs[]}`). Everything is written even when the command exits non-zero, and every write is best-effort — a failed write never changes the exit code. Tests that never dispatched (rate-deferred, conflicted, not found) appear as non-passed rows, so a partial batch cannot read as all-passed. Annotation and table content is escaped, so run-error text cannot inject workflow commands or break the table.

On a V3-routed account (`testsprite auth status` shows `routing: v3`), `--target-url` is currently **not applied** — V3 resolves the run's environment from the project configuration at execution time, so the run executes against the configured URL and the CLI prints an `[advisory]` on stderr saying so.

Plus (3) a read-only npm namespace-claim report. Refuses to run unless invoked with cwd inside a `testsprite-cli-atlas` checkout (checked via the git remote URL, not directory name) — it mutates atlas's own settings and has no meaning against any other checkout, including the public snapshot, which is why it's in `make-public-snapshot.sh`'s `DROP` list.

  * Unit tests for `test rerun` — M3.4 piece-3.
  *
  * All HTTP is mocked via `makeFetch`. The polling loop's sleep injection is
- * wired through `TestDeps.sleep` to avoid real delays.
+ * wired through `TestDeps.sleep` (`instantSleep` below) to avoid real delays
+ * — every test in this file already routes through it; there is no
+ * uninjected real sleep on the deferred-retry/polling paths.
+ *
+ * `testTimeout` is pinned below (rather than left at the vitest default) so
+ * a *future* regression that reintroduces a real, uninjected sleep on the
+ * rerun path fails within seconds instead of silently burning minutes.
+ *
+ * A splitting-by-seam mitigation was evaluated (batch/fan-out cases into
+ * their own file, matching `test.rerun.closure-fanout.spec.ts`'s existing
+ * precedent) and rejected: the slow CI runs for this file were not a real
+ * sleep or a vitest reporter-RPC timeout, but V8's `FinalizationRegistry`/
+ * `WeakRef` cleanup (`JSFinalizationRegistry::Cleanup` → `KeepDuringJob` →
+ * `OrderedHashSet::Add`, confirmed via CPU stack sampling) processing a large
+ * backlog of kept-alive objects. Splitting made the stall *deterministic*
+ * (4/4 attempts) instead of occasional, because vitest's inter-file teardown
+ * forced the cleanup task to run right after the fan-out tests' churn.
+ *
+ * Two independent sources of that churn have since been found and fixed —
+ * do not re-attempt a file split as a mitigation for either without first
+ * checking whether a new one has appeared:
+ *
+ *   1. `poll.ts` minted a fresh `AbortController` + composed `AbortSignal`
+ *      on every poll *iteration*, even though the abort target (an absolute
+ *      deadline) never changes within a session. Fixed by hoisting the
+ *      controller/signal to poll-session scope.
+ *   2. `http.ts::requestWithMeta` composed a fresh `AbortSignal.any([
+ *      timeoutSignal, options.signal?, shutdownSignal?])` on every HTTP
+ *      *request* (per retry attempt). `shutdownSignal` defaults to the
+ *      process-lifetime `globalShutdown.signal`, so this registered one more
+ *      `FinalizationRegistry`-tracked dependent against that single
+ *      long-lived signal per request — CI (Node 22) caught this directly:
+ *      this file's `RATE_LIMITED in a closure member poll` test (every
+ *      closure-member poll 429s, retried up to 3× by `http.ts`) hit this
+ *      file's 10s `testTimeout` guard on CI while measuring 8ms locally, the
+ *      same signature as the `poll.ts` stall. Fixed by `composeAbortSignals`
+ *      (manual `AbortController` + explicit `addEventListener`/
+ *      `removeEventListener`, cleaned up synchronously per attempt) instead
+ *      of the native `AbortSignal.any`. Measured on this file: `AbortSignal.
+ *      any` calls against `globalShutdown.signal` dropped from ~330K to 94
+ *      (the remainder is `poll.ts`'s own per-session compositions).
+ *
+ * `testTimeout: 10_000` is what surfaced fix 2 above — it is doing its job.
+ * Kept at 10s rather than raised: a genuinely reintroduced real sleep (~10s
+ * per attempt) still blows the budget on its very first attempt.

Subject: [PATCH 113/117] fix(project): guard --password-file reads on
 create/update (#79) (#302)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

`project create` and `project update` resolved `--password-file` with a bare
`readFileSync(path, 'utf8').trim()`. A path typo — the expected failure mode
for a hand-typed flag — escaped as an unhandled Node exception:

  - exit `1` (generic) instead of `5` (validation)
  - an `--output json` payload whose `error` is a bare string, not the
    `{ code, message, nextAction }` envelope the rest of the CLI emits, so
    anything parsing `--output json` breaks
  - the absolute path and errno leaked to stderr

Add `readSecretFileGuarded` in `src/lib/secret-file.ts`, mirroring
`readCodeFileGuarded` in `src/commands/test.ts`, and route both call sites
through it. Missing paths, permission failures, and directories now produce
the standard VALIDATION_ERROR envelope naming the flag.

The helper takes the flag name so the remaining unguarded file flags
(`--credential-file`, `--client-secret-file`, `--refresh-token-file`, and
`project auto-auth --password-file`) can adopt it under #282 without
rework — those sites are deliberately left untouched here to avoid
colliding with that issue's in-progress work.

The payload cap from `readCodeFileGuarded` is not carried over: secrets are
small, and a size ceiling would be a behaviour change on a shipped flag
rather than part of fixing the crash.

Dry-run behaviour is unchanged — both paths already return before password
resolution, and the existing P7 coverage still passes.

Subject: [PATCH 117/117] fix(http): bound the size of buffered JSON responses
 (#281)

response.json() buffers the entire body before parsing with no upper bound, so a large test result --history page or a run with a long steps[] array grows the heap in proportion to the payload. Read the typed JSON response bounded by a configurable cap (HttpClientOptions.maxResponseBytes, default 64 MiB): reject an over-cap Content-Length up front, count bytes while streaming chunked bodies, and throw a typed PAYLOAD_TOO_LARGE (exit 5) with guidance to narrow --page-size / --since.
