Notes:

Phase 0 compile sweep:
- npm run build: PASS (refinement-state/functional-cycle-2-artifacts/npm-run-build-final.log)
- npx tsc --noEmit: PASS via npm run typecheck (refinement-state/functional-cycle-2-artifacts/npm-run-typecheck-final.log)
- pytest: command unavailable in this shell, but no *.py files or requirements*.txt exist in this tool directory, so no Python compile/test surface was applicable.
- Compile errors found: 0
Repository verification commands:
- npm run lint: PASS (refinement-state/functional-cycle-2-artifacts/npm-run-lint-final.log)
- npm test: PASS on three consecutive full runs after stabilizing the dialog smoke test (refinement-state/functional-cycle-2-artifacts/npm-test-final-rerun-1.log, npm-test-final-rerun-2.log, npm-test-final-rerun-3.log)
Live GUI evidence:
- First-run gate renders and saves config: refinement-state/screenshots/cycle-2/interactive-first-run-before.png, refinement-state/screenshots/cycle-2/interactive-after-continue.png
- Dev shell renders after fixes: refinement-state/functional-cycle-2-artifacts/npm-run-dev-after-optimize-fix.png
Git tests used disposable branch test-functional-verification. Branch created, tested, and deleted. Config restored to original. Evidence: refinement-state/test-fixtures/cycle-2/publish-e2e-result.json

No current FAIL entries remain after Cycle 2 fixes.

Status: PARTIAL
What works:
- Default config load/save validation, atomic temp-file write, schema validation, and settings round-trips are covered by the passing test suite.
What is still missing:
- A real on-disk migration-chain run was not exercised outside test doubles in this cycle.
Evidence:
- refinement-state/functional-cycle-2-artifacts/npm-test-final-rerun-3.log

Status: PARTIAL
What works:
- The first-run window is keyboard reachable; the happy-path Continue flow succeeded through a keyboard-driven interaction and saved config.
What is still missing:
- Invalid-path alert/announcement behavior was not re-driven manually in the live window during this cycle.

No implemented features remain blocked in this environment.

No confirmed functional regressions remain.

Fixed renderer bootstrap/runtime compatibility:
- src/renderer/main.tsx no longer trips the react-dom/client named-export failure in Electron/Vite.
Fixed compiled-app path resolution:
- src/main/services/paths/PathService.ts, src/main/window/createMainWindow.ts, and src/main/index.ts now normalize dist/main/main entrypoints back to the tool root, which restored the renderer HTML path, preload path, and repo/incoming-path defaults.
Fixed dev-only Vite dependency boot:
- vite.config.ts now prebundles react, react-dom, and react-dom/client, eliminating the require is not defined blank-window failure in npm run dev.
Fixed live git publish on non-target branches:
- src/main/services/git/PublishService.ts now preserves queued files across the stash/checkout/pull boundary before staging on the target branch.
- Verified in a real temporary repo + bare remote fixture with both direct-target and stash/restore publish cases.
Stabilized the flaky dialog smoke test:
- tests/renderer/shadcn-smoke.test.tsx now opens the sample dialog deterministically in the focus-trap case.
Added direct evidence for previously stale untested surfaces:
- tests/renderer/publishPlaceholder.test.tsx
- tests/main/publishHistoryService.test.ts
- tests/main/writeAuditLine.test.ts

These remain implementation gaps rather than test blockers:
