Remote browser bootstrap now keeps reverse-proxy path prefixes, recognizes IPv6 loopback as local, and converts remote health or verify failures into recoverable H5 connection prompts instead of falling back to the generic startup error surface. Token invalidation clears only the stored token so users can retry without re-entering the server address.
Constraint: Review fixes must stay inside the existing Task 4 browser-runtime scope without changing the Tauri localhost startup path
Rejected: Clear both stored server URL and token on remote bootstrap failures | it forces unnecessary re-entry after stale credentials
Directive: Any future browser-mode startup error for non-loopback backends should remain recoverable through H5ConnectionView unless the desktop/Tauri contract changes

Not-tested: Live reverse-proxy browser session against a real remote H5 server
Browser-mode startup now preserves the desktop localhost path while prompting for H5 credentials when a non-loopback backend requires verification. The API client and websocket layer share a central token source so REST and session sockets authenticate consistently without leaking the token into diagnostics.
Constraint: Preserve the Tauri startup path and default localhost browser behavior
Rejected: Reuse the generic startup error view for H5 auth failures | it blocks the credential-entry recovery path
Directive: Non-loopback browser startup is the only path that should require saved H5 verification without re-checking the desktop bootstrap contract

Not-tested: Live remote H5 browser session against a running server
Desktop session interruptions were leaving two different classes of stale UI
artifacts behind: reconnects could silently lose in-flight output, and history
reloads could replay synthetic interruption or internal command breadcrumbs as
if they were user-facing transcript content. This change rebinds active session
output to the latest client websocket on reconnect, preserves queued outbound
messages across transient disconnects, and filters synthetic transcript entries
before they reach the desktop history API so reloads reconstruct only the
messages users should actually see.
Constraint: Desktop transcript history is shared with CLI JSONL files and must stay compatible with persisted message shapes
Rejected: Hide these artifacts only in React renderers | other transcript consumers would still receive polluted history
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep transcript filtering aligned with real synthetic/internal message shapes before adding new hidden message types
