Separate quarantine review enforcement from server and coverage file selection so expired review dates fail only the governance lane.
Refresh stale server quarantine suites and keep only the live provider test quarantined for non-live PR gates.

Desktop startup can fail before React mounts on older WebViews, so an HTML-level watchdog now renders startup diagnostics even when the module bundle never reaches the app code. Persistent provider migration now imports legacy root provider config into cc-haha-owned storage without deleting the old source file, and plugin marketplace cleanup refuses obvious corrupted cache roots or outside paths.
Constraint: User explicitly accepted the current reviewed state for landing despite remaining review concerns.
Constraint: Global ~/.claude state is user-owned and protected; automatic repair must avoid deleting shared config, transcripts, skills, MCP, plugins, OAuth, adapters, and teams.
Rejected: Tell users to delete ~/.claude or ~/.claude/cc-haha | unsafe because it can destroy user-owned Claude state and still may not fix WebView compatibility failures.
Confidence: medium
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Do not weaken protected-path checks; future deletion paths should validate real paths and symlink behavior before recursive rm.

Not-tested: live macOS 12/Safari 15 WKWebView startup on an affected machine.
Not-tested: H5 diagnostic URL redaction and symlink-escape hardening are known follow-up risks from review.
Desktop users can carry provider indexes, managed settings, localStorage state, and native update state from builds that no longer match current readers. This adds startup migrations and recovery paths before server and React state are consumed, plus a persistence upgrade gate so future storage protocol changes ship with old-format fixtures.
Constraint: Existing installs may contain malformed or legacy JSON/localStorage that must not block startup.
Constraint: Local verify should evaluate the current worktree diff rather than unrelated detached-worktree history.
Rejected: Treat invalid persisted state as fatal | reproduces white-screen and startup failure behavior for existing users.
Rejected: Bypass PR policy locally | hides real gate behavior and does not fix detached-worktree false positives.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Any local JSON, localStorage, or app config shape change must add a migration fixture and keep `bun run check:persistence-upgrade` green.
Tested: bun run check:persistence-upgrade; bun run check:policy; bun run check:desktop; bun run check:server; bun run check:native; bun run verify (9 passed, 1 coverage baseline failure)
Not-tested: Live provider baseline; existing user configs beyond covered fixtures
Contributors and coding agents need one local command that both reports and enforces the quality contract. This change turns the PR gate into the shared verification entrypoint, adds path-selected local lanes, tightens coverage accounting around changed lines, and documents the repair loop in contributor and agent-facing guidance.
Constraint: Ordinary PR verification must stay non-live and runnable without provider credentials
Constraint: Coverage policy updates in this commit require maintainer approval before push/merge
Rejected: Keep quality guidance only in docs | agents need executable scripts and AGENTS.md instructions to follow the loop consistently
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: broad
Directive: Do not bypass `bun run verify` for production changes; fix failed lanes and coverage reports instead of lowering thresholds
Tested: bun run check:policy
Tested: ALLOW_CLI_CORE_CHANGE=1 ALLOW_COVERAGE_BASELINE_CHANGE=1 bun run verify
Not-tested: live provider baseline; no provider credentials were required for this non-live PR gate
The repository now has a measurable PR quality path instead of a loose set of
manual checks. Coverage, quarantine governance, provider smoke, desktop smoke,
and workflow wiring all produce durable reports that contributors and maintainers
can inspect without reconstructing terminal output.
This also fixes the desktop smoke current-runtime path so browser-driven smoke
runs use the desktop default active provider instead of forcing the official
current model, and records that runtime decision as an artifact.
Constraint: Default PR gates must remain non-live and contributor-safe while live model checks stay explicit.
Constraint: Release packaging is still GitHub Actions based, so release preflight must run before the build matrix.
Rejected: Make live provider or desktop smoke mandatory on every PR | secrets, quotas, and model availability are maintainer-controlled.
Rejected: Let PRs lower coverage baselines in the same change | base-branch ratchet comparison must remain authoritative.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Do not relax coverage or quarantine policy without a maintainer approval label and a fresh quality report.
