e428eb2367 test: extract the scroll card and document drag-canvas data flow
AgentDeskFixture.swift sat at exactly 400 lines; the scroll card is
fully self-contained (its offset state never leaves the card), so it
moves to FixtureCards.swift as a standalone view with zero bindings,
landing the main file at 374. Harness-facing labels are byte-identical.
DragCanvas gains two intent comments distinguishing the deliberately
empty updateNSView from a forgotten sync.

11f14ee116 docs: document the TIMEOUT schemas, chain deadline knob, and roles_present scope
Names the two TIMEOUT details schemas by their kind discriminant with
the mutated-flag retry rule, points chain-deadline recovery at
AGENT_DESKTOP_CHAIN_TIMEOUT_MS instead of --timeout, extends the
roles_present hint to all non-count selection-mode misses, and aligns
the STALE_REF recovery row with the richer error.rs suggestion.

dbb06f4e7a fix: carry the protected-process suggestion on the CLI preflight
The CLI-layer guard returned bare INVALID_ARGS while the adapter layer
carried recovery guidance, so agents on the primary surface got 'check
command syntax' for a permanently-disallowed operation and looped on
argument fixes. Both layers now state the same suggestion.

c0532db38a test: guard ref-action policy coverage against silent gaps
A new ref-action command could ship without a base-policy assertion. A
guard test now scans crates/core/src/commands/ for files calling
context.request( and fails unless each stem appears in the
POLICY_TESTED_COMMANDS list backing the policy assertions.

9d4765aead fix: raise the element's window before the physical click fallback
CGEvents land on the topmost window at the click point, so an app being
frontmost is not enough when the target element lives in a background
window of that app — the physical fallback clicked whatever overlapped
it, and the skip-raise-when-frontmost optimization widened the window
for that. click_via_bounds now raises the element's own AXWindow (AXRaise,
AXMain fallback, brief confirmation poll) via a shared window_ops helper
that focus_window_impl reuses. Verified live: a headed click on a ref in
an occluded Finder window raises that window and lands the click in it.

4639b9c0d6 fix: match protected processes exactly, not by substring
'docker'.contains('dock') permanently blocked close-app for Docker,
FinderSync-class apps, and anything else embedding a protected name.
Matching is now an exact lowercase name or an exact dot-separated
bundle-id component, so Dock and com.apple.dock stay protected while
Docker, Docker Desktop, FinderSync, and PathFinder stay closable —
pinned by false-positive tests.

64c89ed054 fix: surface settle-wait deadline truncation as timeout with a schema discriminant
A chain deadline truncating the disclosure settle wait returned a plain
step failure, exhausting into ACTION_FAILED — the same masking class
fixed for increments — even though the triggering action may still land
after the truncated wait. Settle exits are now classified: full-budget
misses stay step failures, deadline-truncated waits raise TIMEOUT with
the wanted/observed state, and the poll sleeps are clamped so a tight
deadline still gets at least one read. All TIMEOUT details now carry a
kind discriminant (wait_timeout vs chain_deadline) so agents can branch
without sniffing field names.

ba6886529a test: keep the drag canvas AX label on the NSView only

9f39e968c3 refactor: move point resolution and the focus helper to point_resolve

focus_for_physical_input were accumulating in helpers.rs alongside

ec3257f023 refactor: build the actionable preflight request per action name at parse
The policy mirror lived in a separate helper with a catch-all arm, so a
future action name could silently inherit the headless policy. Parse now
maps every --action name to the exact ActionRequest its real command
runs (type is the only focus-fallback), the catch-all is gone, and a
test pins each name's policy.

08d100428b refactor: split oversized files by responsibility under the 400-LOC limit
helpers_tests (426) splits into resolution/window/pipeline tests, a
ref-action+trace test file, and a shared entry-builder support module.
wait_element_tests (414) splits into predicate-behavior tests and
resolution/lifecycle tests over a widened wait_test_support. wait.rs
(395) loses the element-wait loop to wait_element.rs, and refs_store
(397) moves its tmp-cleanup/retention methods to a refs_store_prune
child module (declared via #[path] so the split keeps base_dir and
snapshots_dir private to the store).

2a1730a9c7 fix: attach abort-state guidance to drag failures and document cancel limits
Drag synthesis errors surfaced as bare INTERNAL with no hint about the
gesture's end state. Failures now carry a suggestion stating the button
was released back at the origin (best-effort), no drop was committed,
and where the cursor ends; the guard doc spells out the two best-effort
limits (corrective posts can fail; a self-drop at the origin is a no-op
for most targets).

44ce45e89b fix: make focused semantics honest and confirm window focus by polling
ensure_app_focused set AXFrontmost unconditionally and reported success
identically whether or not a raise happened; it now no-ops when the app
is already frontmost, so Ok (and the focused:true response field) means
"frontmost ensured" exactly as documented. focus_window_impl gains the
same confirmation poll after its raise, and the poll interval widens to
5ms (10 reads max in the 50ms window).

d762f8cd3a fix: enforce the protected-process guard inside the adapter close path
The guard lived only in the CLI command layer, so ad_close_app could
force-kill session-critical processes (loginwindow, WindowServer, Dock)

effect with the exact CLI error contract, making CLI, FFI, and any future
consumer behave identically; the CLI preflight remains as an earlier
check against the same predicate.

d57b9f02ca perf: cap the disclosure settle poll to the chain deadline and widen its interval
The settle poll could spend 3 x 200ms x 5ms-interval reads (~360 IPCs)
per expand/collapse and overshoot the chain's own deadline. A new
CustomWithDeadline chain step threads the chain deadline into the
disclosure steps, the settle budget is min(200ms, remaining chain
budget), and the interval widens to 20ms (~30 IPCs worst case).

74d023b407 fix: surface increment deadline expiry as timeout with the observed value
A chain deadline firing mid-increment returned Ok(false), so the step was
recorded as skipped, the chain exhausted into ACTION_FAILED, and the
control sat at a half-applied value the caller could not see — post-state
is only read on success, and ACTION_FAILED recovery guidance points away
from retrying. Expiry is now a TIMEOUT error carrying value_before,
value_at_timeout, target, and a mutated flag in details.

c73beb7f6f test: harden the e2e harness and unify fixture AX labels
The harness now fails setup loudly when the fixture build or AX trust is
missing, rebuilds the fixture when sources are newer than the bundle,
asserts hover only against a freshly observed state, and force-collapses
the disclosure so the expand test proves a real flip. The slider/stepper
labels live solely on the NSViews (the AX-actionable elements), removing
the macOS-version-dependent race between two label sources, and the drag
canvas reports a zero frame when detached from a window.

49adc435df feat: check a specific action in wait --predicate actionable
The actionable predicate hardcoded Click, so wait-then-type flows got a
false ready on fields that cannot accept text (the editability check only

set-value, or clear, and the preflight mirrors each command's real base
policy (type uses its focus-fallback base).

0e186d68b2 perf: replace fixed input settle sleeps with state polls
ensure_app_focused slept 50ms per physical input even when the app was
already frontmost; it now polls AXFrontmost (1ms, 50ms deadline).
disclosure_settled slept an unconditional 40ms up to three times per
expand/collapse; it now polls the disclosed state (5ms, 200ms deadline),
converging immediately on fast UIs. The kAXFocusedAttribute settability
probe is gated by role_may_accept_focus, mirroring role_may_bear_value,
and key dispatch reuses ensure_app_focused instead of its inline
duplicate.

107b902f86 fix: pin the AdAction ABI layout and bound FFI string and array inputs
AdDragParams is embedded by value in AdAction, so its 8-byte growth grew
the struct C callers pass to ad_execute_action with no size guard —
old-layout callers under-allocate and stack garbage becomes a live
drop_delay_ms. Adds AD_ACTION_SIZE / ad_action_size() with a layout pin,
matching the AdRefEntry pattern.

Also hardens the input boundary: C strings are decoded with a bounded
NUL scan (AD_MAX_STRING_BYTES, sized for CLI argv parity) so a missing
terminator cannot walk arbitrary memory, and the single coarse 1024
array cap becomes published per-field caps (AD_MAX_REF_STATES/ACTIONS/
PATH_DEPTH) with tests just over each limit.

6e29c0791e fix: enforce the chain deadline inside increment steps
All dispatch sites construct ChainContext with deadline: None, so the
remediation parameter on increment_to_value never received a value and
the 1024-iteration loop ran unbounded by the chain timeout. The chain now
pins its resolved deadline into the context every step observes. Also
extracts the pure write-verification predicates and their tests to
chain_verify.rs, bringing chain.rs back under the 400-LOC limit.

a37dd825cd fix: abort failed drags at the origin and disarm the guard only on success
The mouse-up guard disarmed before the final fallible up-event, so a
failed final post left the button held. Worse, its corrective release
fired at the unreached destination, silently committing an aborted drag
as a completed drop (CGEvents resolve at their embedded coordinates).
The guard now owns the release: it disarms only after the up actually
posts, and an early return cancels by dragging back to the origin and
releasing there.

9b58f099d6 fix: gate the ref-gesture focus raise on the interaction policy
Ref-addressed hover/drag raised the target app unconditionally, violating
the headless no-implicit-focus-steal contract. The point resolver now
returns the owning pid instead of focusing, and commands decide: headless
never raises, --headed raises once (drag focuses only the from-app, fixing
the cross-app double-focus). Responses report focused:true so multi-app
agents can detect the frontmost change.

  skipping up to two AX round trips per preflight on common click-only targets.

16351b05a2 fix: address review P2 correctness and reliability findings
- wait: cap each ref-resolution attempt (750ms) so a slow resolve cannot
  consume the whole wait budget on the first poll; the predicate is re-checked
  across the full timeout.
- wait: make LatestRefCache timing fields private (no external readers).
- wait: add a unit test for --menu-closed (asserts it waits for open=false).
- close-app: make the graceful and force responses symmetric — both carry
  `closed` (force confirms true; graceful cannot confirm, so false) instead of
  graceful silently omitting the field.
- close-app: test adapter-error propagation.
- adapter: the default resolve_element_strict_with_timeout now logs that it does
  not enforce the deadline, so an adapter that forgets to override it is visible
  in traces.
- type: a RAII guard restores the user's clipboard on every scope exit (success,
  error, panic) during the paste-based non-ASCII path, shrinking the clobber
  window to an unpreventable SIGKILL.

Note: the reviewer's "fail fast on AMBIGUOUS_TARGET with a pinned snapshot"
suggestion is not applied — existing tests prove transient ambiguity resolves on
retry even with a pinned ref (ambiguity is a property of the live tree, not the
refmap), so failing fast would regress intentional, tested behavior.

- CLAUDE.md: remove ~130 lines of reference material that duplicated code,
  Cargo.toml, or the skills (full PlatformAdapter trait dump, Key Types listing,
  macOS API listings, dependency/build-config tables, the 54-command table).
  Replaced the stale trait dump with a pointer to adapter.rs (which also fixes
  the review's stale-trait-docs finding) and kept only the non-obvious gotchas.
  CLAUDE.md is now standards, invariants, and conventions.
- Document, on macOS (Phase 1), which gestures have a headless path: most ref
  actions do; double-click via AXOpen; triple-click/hover/drag are cursor
  gestures with no AX equivalent (physical only). The command surface is
  platform-agnostic — a future Windows/Linux adapter that exposes a headless
  path lights it up with no command or core change. Added to README and the

32cda94b41 test: harden and expand the E2E proof layer
Closes the honesty gaps the review found and covers the interactions that were
missing, all verified by independent before/after observation:

- twins: the fixture twins now record distinct effects (twin-a/twin-b) and the
  assert requires the ADDRESSED twin to fire (or AMBIGUOUS_TARGET), instead of
  passing on any ok:true.
- click: click-status is a counter, so the headed pass must observe a fresh
  increment rather than inheriting the headless pass's value.
- adds triple-click + hover (headed gestures), tab selection (TabView tabs are
  radiobuttons), context-menu open + item selection, and menu-bar enumeration
  via --surface menubar.
- adds a performance section reporting per-command CLI wall-clock (snapshot,
  find, get, click, set-value, type) with a soft <2s snapshot gate.
- documents the SwiftUI CommandMenu and cross-app drop limitations as tracked
  notes, not silent skips.

57edc0d470 fix: add AdDragParams size guard and document the ABI breaks
AdDragParams gained a drop_delay_ms field but, unlike AdRefEntry, had no size
guard — an old caller's smaller allocation would let Rust read past it and turn
stack garbage into a real drop delay. Add AD_DRAG_PARAMS_SIZE, ad_drag_params_size(),
a compile-time layout assertion, and a zero-init note, matching the ref-entry
pattern.

This branch makes several consumer-visible contract changes that release
tooling must cut as a major. They are gathered here because the release workflow
ships the C header as an artifact.

BREAKING CHANGE: the C ABI and CLI/JSON contract changed on this branch.
- AdPolicyKind: AD_POLICY_KIND_PHYSICAL is renamed AD_POLICY_KIND_HEADED
  (discriminant 2 unchanged, so compiled binaries are safe; source-level C
  consumers must rename). No back-compat alias is kept — "physical" is gone.
- AdRefEntry grew (caller-allocated input); validate layout with
  AD_REF_ENTRY_SIZE / ad_ref_entry_size().
- AdDragParams grew; validate with AD_DRAG_PARAMS_SIZE / ad_drag_params_size()
  and zero-initialize before use.
- close-app graceful response no longer includes closed:true; it returns
  { method: "graceful", requested: true } because a graceful quit cannot be
  synchronously confirmed.

d0371caaec feat: focus the target window before ref-addressed physical input
Ref-action physical fallbacks (click/scroll/type) already brought the target
app frontmost before synthesizing CGEvents. The raw-input commands (drag, hover,
mouse-*) resolving a point from a ref did not — the resolver had the pid but
discarded it, so the adapter saw only coordinates and synthetic events could
land on whatever window happened to be frontmost.

Add a best-effort focus_app(pid) to PlatformAdapter (macOS uses
ensure_app_focused; other adapters default to not_supported). The point resolver
now focuses the ref's app before returning, so every physical interaction that
targets a known element raises its window first. Coordinate (--xy) input is
unchanged: the caller owns the target there.

0dcc53c024 fix: close review runtime, correctness, and security gaps
Addresses validated findings from the branch code review:

- chain: thread the chain deadline into increment_to_value so a non-converging
  stepper cannot spin up to 1024 AX round trips and blow past the timeout.
- mouse: a RAII guard posts LeftMouseUp if any fallible step of a drag returns
  early, so an error can never leave the mouse button held down system-wide.
- ffi: cap caller-supplied state/action/path counts before from_raw_parts,
  mirroring the existing MAX_MODIFIERS_PER_COMBO guard, to reject out-of-bounds
  reads from a garbage C count.
- wait: the actionable predicate now forwards the structured ActionabilityReport
  from error.details instead of dropping it to a flat message, so agents can see
  which check is blocking.
- scroll: gate the row-select fallback on policy.allow_focus_steal so a headless
  scroll can no longer silently change the user's table selection.
- actionability: delete the unreachable stable->StaleRef branch (stability_check
  never fails by design) and its now-dead failed_check helper.
- status: delete two pub wrappers with no production callers; the test now drives
  the real execute_with_report_with_context entry point.

30e80b90bc test: add E2E fixture app and dual-mode harness
Drives the release binary against a real SwiftUI/AppKit fixture and verifies
every effect by independent before/after observation — never the command's own
ok:true — so a command that reports success without an effect is caught. This is
the layer mock-adapter unit tests cannot cover: it exercises the contract
against the real macOS Accessibility API.

- AgentDeskFixture.swift exposes a fixed, diverse AX surface (native AppKit
  slider/stepper, gesture-only and ambiguous controls, a sheet, a press-toggled
  disclosure, async-appearing elements, a drag canvas). It is never tuned to
  make a command pass; a failure is a finding about the CLI or the harness.
- run.sh drives every ref-action command in BOTH headless and --headed mode with
  mode-specific target values, plus the double-click discriminator (headless
  fails closed with POLICY_DENIED, --headed completes) that proves the two modes
  differ. It also covers strict resolution, wait predicates, skeleton drill-down,
  sessions, trace redaction, surfaces, drag, expand, and force-close.
- The compiled fixture .app is a build artifact (gitignored; built on demand).

Run: cargo build --release && bash tests/e2e/run.sh (needs AX permission).

9ad0e889b2 feat: add Playwright-style headed/headless interaction mode
Ref actions now run in exactly two modes. Headless is the default: semantic
accessibility operations only, no cursor movement, and a fail-closed
POLICY_DENIED when only a physical gesture would work. The global --headed flag
upgrades every ref action to permit focus stealing and cursor movement, so the
chain's physical click/double-click/scroll/keypress fallbacks can complete. The
AX path is always tried first, so --headed never regresses headless-capable
elements; it only adds fallbacks for elements that need a real gesture.

- CommandContext::request(action, base) builds the per-command request: each
  command declares its headless base (pure-AX headless; type uses focus_fallback
  because typing requires focus but never moves the cursor) and --headed upgrades
  any base to the headed policy.
- The internal/FFI "physical" policy is renamed "headed" throughout, including
  the C ABI enum (AD_POLICY_KIND_HEADED keeps discriminant 2) and bindings.
- Raw-input commands (press, hover, drag, mouse-*, key-down/up) are unchanged:
  always physical, mode-independent low-level escape hatch.
- Unit tests assert every ref command is headless by default and headed under
  --headed; docs (CONCEPTS, CLAUDE, skills) describe the two-mode contract.

3ad7b2c245 fix: eliminate vacuous AX successes and harden resolution
Dogfooding the binary against a real fixture app surfaced five cases where a
command reported success without producing the effect, or failed with the wrong
error. Each is verified by independent before/after observation in the E2E
harness.

- is_menu_open no longer treats a latent AXMenuBar as an open menu, so select
  and wait --menu-closed stop seeing a permanently-open menu.
- set-value coerces the written AXValue to the element's existing CFNumber/
  CFBoolean/CFString type and verifies numerically, fixing sliders; steppers
  converge via AXIncrement/AXDecrement when AXValue writes are vacuous.
- double-click only claims success when the element advertises AXOpen; otherwise
  it fails closed instead of reporting a non-existent double-click.
- a completed resolution pass that proves a ref absent downgrades a deadline
  TIMEOUT to STALE_REF so removed elements fail with the correct code.
- expand/collapse verify the disclosure state and fall back to a press-toggle
  for press-driven disclosures; press-toggled containers expose EXPAND/COLLAPSE.

roles.rs adds the disclosure expandable role and normalizes textarea/textbox/
searchfield role queries to textfield.

b2f14fcbf5 fix: make action-bearing elements ref-able so scroll/expand can target them
E2E testing against a diverse fixture app surfaced that disclosure
(Expand/Collapse/Click) and scrollarea (Scroll) advertise actions but
never received refs — they are not in INTERACTIVE_ROLES — so the scroll,
expand, and collapse commands required a <REF> their own target roles
could never have. The commands were uninvokable against their primary
targets.

Ref allocation now gates on addressability, not role alone: an element
is ref-able if its role is interactive OR it advertises a primary action
(any action other than a bare SetFocus, which would ref-allocate inert
focusable containers). scrollarea and disclosure become ref-able;
scroll now works against a real app. Ref-count impact is modest
(fixture 61->72, Finder ~262).

Tests assert action-bearing containers get refs, SetFocus-only and inert
elements do not, and interactive roles stay ref-able without actions.
Contract docs (CLAUDE.md, SKILL.md) updated.

9c31e19345 feat: add drag --drop-delay for reliable macOS drop registration
macOS drop targets need the dragged item to dwell over them before they
register as the destination; too short and the gesture lands as a drag
with no drop. The dwell was a hardcoded 500ms dead sleep. Expose it as
--drop-delay <ms> (CLI), drop_delay_ms (DragParams/AdDragParams, 0 =
adapter default sentinel matching duration_ms), and replace the dead
sleep with an event-driven dwell that posts LeftMouseDragged over the
destination every 16ms so the target stays highlighted instead of
dropping the drag mid-pause.

DRY: the C-to-core drag conversion (duration/drop-delay zero-sentinel)
was copied across three FFI sites; collapse them into AdDragParams::
to_core(). FFI ABI: AdDragParams gains drop_delay_ms (header + repr +
header-compile test). Tests: core threads the value into params and
response and omits the field when unset; FFI maps both optionals.

66275f78a3 fix: stop close-app claiming a graceful quit it cannot confirm
close-app returned closed:true the instant a graceful quit was *sent*,
while the app was still running behind an unsaved-changes dialog —
a false completion claim. Empirically (NSWorkspace.runningApplications):
a clean quit completes in ~0.2s, a dialog-blocked quit never completes
on its own, and macOS confirms only that the quit request was sent, not
that the app terminated. Verifying by polling would add seconds of
latency on the exact (blocked) case it is meant to catch, so we do not
poll.

Graceful close now reports { method: graceful, requested: true } —
truthful and instant, no closed claim. --force is a synchronous SIGKILL,
so it reports { method: force, requested: true, closed: true }. Callers
needing graceful confirmation observe via list-apps / wait --window and
can drive a save dialog with snapshot + find, which is the agent-native
path.

71267f942b refactor: move protected-process knowledge out of core into the adapter
close-app hardcoded macOS/Unix process names (loginwindow, windowserver,
dock, launchd, finder) inside core, baking platform-specific knowledge
into the platform-agnostic crate. Windows would need csrss.exe/
winlogon.exe, Linux gnome-shell/Xorg. Add PlatformAdapter::
is_protected_process (default denies nothing); the macOS adapter owns its
list with substring matching over display and bundle identifiers. core's
close-app just asks the adapter. Also genericize a macOS-flavored test
fixture string so core carries zero native vocabulary even in tests.

Verified: core has no platform-native references in non-test source, no
cfg(target_os) gates; the only remaining cfg(unix)/libc use is securing
core's own refmap/trace/lock files with non-unix fallbacks.

9f000552a4 refactor: derive find role hints from the live tree, drop hardcoded vocabulary
Replace the canonical-role allow-list (and its hard INVALID_ARGS
rejection) with a tree-derived approach. A role filter that matches
nothing now returns ok with roles_present — the distinct roles actually
in the searched tree — so the caller distinguishes 'none on screen' from
a wrong role name and self-corrects. This needs no central role list: a
role any adapter newly emits surfaces in roles_present automatically,
with nothing to keep in sync across core and the platform crates.

A tiny role-query normalizer keeps the ergonomic win (textarea, textbox,
searchfield fold to textfield, case-insensitive) but never gates or
rejects — it is a synonym shim, not a vocabulary. The macOS role table
returns to its plain match form; the cross-crate canonical-vocabulary
list and its conformance test are gone.

a95d34b947 fix: validate find roles against the canonical vocabulary
find --role with a role no adapter can emit (textarea, typos) silently
returned ok with zero matches, reading as 'element absent' when the
query could never match. Role queries now resolve through a canonical
vocabulary in core: common text-input aliases (textarea, textbox,
searchfield) normalize to textfield case-insensitively, and unknown
roles fail with INVALID_ARGS carrying details.valid_roles so agents can
self-correct.

The macOS role mapping becomes a sorted single-source table with
binary-search lookup, and a conformance test pins every emitted role
(plus the unknown fallback and the synthesized cell role) to core's
CANONICAL_ROLES — the cross-platform contract Windows/Linux adapters
must map their native vocabularies into, enforced by the same
table + test pattern rather than convention.

606b974178 docs: document notification retry, error-code contract, and diagnostics sensitivity
Note transient-error retry and last_error timeout detail on wait
--notification; make explicit that agents branch on error.code (message
and suggestion text is informational); warn FFI consumers that
ad_last_error_details may carry on-screen element names, values, and
window titles and should stay out of shared log surfaces.

c29b9dcf3a fix(review): eliminate per-element AX round trips and close remaining review findings
Fold AXPosition/AXSize and the scrollbar probe into the existing
AXUIElementCopyMultipleAttributeValues batch so tree traversal and the
actionability preflight pay one IPC per element instead of up to four;
A/B benchmark shows strictly-faster snapshots with identical ref counts
and scroll capabilities (Finder 4.5s -> 2.4s same-session, Docker
Desktop parity at 440 refs / 933 scroll-capable nodes).

Consolidate the CLI and FFI ref-action pipelines into one core
execute_resolved path (actionability, tracing, and dispatch semantics
live once; FFI passes a default context). Remove the no-context
execute() shims from is/right-click/snapshot/wait and the test-only
helper shims; every command now takes an explicit CommandContext.

Split the macOS resolver into resolve (orchestration), resolve_search
(candidate collection), and resolve_classify (strict classification),
clearing the 400-LOC ceiling with room to grow.

Notification waits now retry transient baseline failures inside the
timeout budget with the same retryable gate as window/text waits and
report last_error in timeout details instead of aborting on the first
flake; a baseline is never fabricated.

Refmap writes clean up their temp file on failure, stale *.tmp orphans
are swept under the store lock, and save_existing_snapshot re-verifies
snapshot ownership inside the owning store's write lock with bounded
re-discovery before deterministically recreating in the caller's store.

Coverage hardening: zero-budget wait timeout shape, wait --text
--count 0 absence detection, ref-action pipeline call-count guard
(1 resolve / 1 live read / 1 dispatch), duplicate snapshot-id collision
on load, pruned-everywhere recreation, tmp sweep and rename-failure
cleanup, FFI AMBIGUOUS_TARGET last-error code assertion.

f5f97dceeb fix(review): preserve action results, delegate timeout resolution, tighten core boundaries
Apply verified code-review fixes: ref-action release failures no longer
mask successful action results (prevents double-dispatch on retry);
resolve_element_strict_with_timeout defaults to delegating so strict-only
adapters support wait --element; wait --text reports count only when
--count is requested; latest-refmap refresh logs load failures instead of
silently serving stale refs; InteractionPolicy moved to its own module and
actionability/trace modules scoped pub(crate) per file rules; duplicate
wait test helper extracted to shared support module; timeout error
constructors deduplicated; redaction test covers description; policy
focus-denial path covered; skills document steps array, actionability
details, trace redaction, and batch trace inheritance.
