+## D1 — Raw HTML vs Design System
+
+| Line                          | Element                        | Verdict          | Reason                                                                                                                                                                     | Suggested change |
+| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------ | ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------- |
+| `ConversationMinimap.tsx:288` | `<nav>` conversation navigator | keep with reason | Semantic navigation landmark is appropriate; no design-system component covers this scroll-position rail.                                                                  | —                |
+| `ConversationMinimap.tsx:358` | Raw marker `<button>`          | keep with reason | The buttons are custom 8–20px minimap hit areas with `aria-label`, focus styling, and `aria-current`; standard Button/IconButton geometry does not cover this interaction. | —                |
+
+## D2 — Arbitrary Tailwind Value vs Token
+
+| Line                          | Value                                          | Verdict          | Reason                                                                                                                                                                                       | Suggested change |
+| ----------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------- |
+| `ConversationMinimap.tsx:293` | `@[640px]/chatbody:*` container-query variants | keep with reason | These are layout breakpoints rather than project-owned color-token escapes. The display override was the defect; the remaining width/alignment variants are intentional responsive geometry. | —                |
+
+## D3 — Hardcoded Sizes / Colors
+
+| Line                          | Value      | Verdict          | Reason                                                                                    | Suggested change |
+| ----------------------------- | ---------- | ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------- |
+| `ConversationMinimap.tsx:293` | `w-[38px]` | keep with reason | The 38px rail aligns marker hit areas and hover controls; no color literal is introduced. | —                |
+| `ConversationMinimap.tsx:379` | `h-[3px]`  | keep with reason | Sub-spacing-scale marker thickness is an optical micro-size.                              | —                |
+
+## D4 — Accessibility
+
+| Line                              | Element             | Verdict          | Reason                                                                                        | Suggested change |
+| --------------------------------- | ------------------- | ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------- |
+| `ConversationMinimap.tsx:288-306` | Navigator landmark  | keep with reason | It has an accessible navigation label and clears preview state when focus leaves the control. | —                |
+| `ConversationMinimap.tsx:358-385` | Turn marker buttons | keep with reason | Every marker has an accessible name, keyboard focus support, and current-position semantics.  | —                |
+
+## D5 — Visual Patterns Observed
+
+- **Confirmed fixed pattern:** `ConversationMinimap.tsx:293` combined state-driven `hidden` with `@[640px]/chatbody:flex`; the responsive display utility overrode the idle state on wide chat panes. The forced responsive display utility was removed.
+- **No additional occurrence:** a repository-wide sweep found no other scroll/minimap component combining conditional idle hiding with a responsive display override.
+- **Intentional persistent rail:** `src/modules/shared/layouts/FocusedChatWorkstationRail.tsx:350-356` is a user-operated workstation shortcut panel shown only for maximized session chat at `xl`; it is not a scroll-position indicator and has no idle visibility contract.
+- **Intentional editor scroll chrome:** `src/components/CustomScrollbar/index.tsx` is shared by CodeMirror editor/diff/conflict surfaces. It starts transparent, appears during scroll or editor hover, and hides with bounded timers that are cleared on unmount.
+- **Intentional chat code-block behavior:** `src/engines/ChatPanel/blocks/CodeBlock/index.scss:8-38,71-105` hides horizontal scrollbars by default and reveals them only on hover or while `data-scrolling` is set.
+- **Intentional native scroll surfaces:** `.scrollbar-overlay`, `.dropdown-options-scrollbar`, and `.select-options-overlay` are explicit visible-scrollbar policies for detail panels, long option lists, previews, and editors. They do not use the defective conditional-hidden/responsive-display pattern.
+- **Already hidden surfaces:** chat history list, turn-page list, settings surfaces, sidebars, tab strips, and work-item detail containers use `scrollbar-hide` or scoped `scrollbar-width: none`.
+
+## Summary
+
+- 1 fix confirmed (the reported conversation minimap responsive override)
+- 8 kept with documented reason / intentional semantic peers
+- 0 additional same-class defects
+- 0 abstract candidates

+# Performance Guard — Uncommitted Runtime Batch
+
+**Scope:** changed polling, listeners, caches, queues, scans, request coordinators, webviews, session lifecycles, and streaming finality on `junyu/rpc-performance-closure`.
+**Date:** 2026-07-27
+
+## Lifecycle matrix
+
+| Dimension | Audited behavior |
+| --- | --- |
+| App | Module caches are bounded or weakly owned; durable queue initialization retries after transient failure; Rust blocking scans stay off async executor threads. |
+| Document | Proposal countdown pauses while hidden; native webview layout/URL work is active only for visible webviews; focus-based GitHub verification unregisters after confirmation. |
+| Network | Equivalent repo/project/benchmark/history requests coalesce; generations reject stale completions; failures do not become permanent queue-store state. |
+| Identity | Team Inbox cloud state keys endpoint + authenticated user + org; receipt overlays use the latest identity-scoped state. |
+| Scope | Repo/project/file-index keys include the complete resource scope and invalidate by generation. |
+| Session | Queue persistence is per Jotai store; secondary ChatView releases its pipeline claim; session deletion/disposal paths retain their explicit cleanup. |
+| Instance | No new cross-process shared mutable frontend cache was added; filesystem and auth separation for secondary processes is unchanged. |
+
+## Findings and evidence
+
+| Area | Verdict | Evidence | Change or reason kept | Verification |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Background work | fix | Proposal countdown previously rendered at animation-frame cadence; GitHub star fallback retained a focus listener after success; hidden webviews could retain layout work. | Countdown now updates at most once per second and pauses hidden; confirmation clears fallback/listener state; layout work is visibility gated. | Changed frontend suite includes GitHub focus regression and webview visibility/layout tests; 214/214 passed. |
+| Background work | keep | Existing visible inline-webview URL polling owns one startup timeout and one interval, cleared on hidden/unmount/destroy. | Kept as navigation-state fallback; no overlap is introduced by this batch. | Visibility and native-layout lifecycle tests passed. |
+| Memory | fix | File indexes, RPC validation diagnostics, browser webviews, repo/project coordinators, and durable queue state are app/session lifetime structures. | File index uses bounded keyed cache + generation invalidation; RPC diagnostics cap at 200; browser retains at most two navigable webviews; queue subscription is `WeakMap<Store, ...>` owned. | File-index coalescing/invalidation/recovery tests, RPC bound tests, browser retention tests, and queue persistence tests passed. |
+| Scope/isolation | fix | Team Inbox page completion captured an old receipt map; repo/file/project requests can finish after invalidation. | Latest receipt ref is applied at commit; identity-complete keys and generation guards reject stale writes. | Team Inbox identity tests, project cache/purge tests, repo coordination tests, file-index invalidation tests, and sidebar loader stale-result tests passed. |
+| Rendering/hot path | fix | Agent proposal countdown previously woke the full creator tree at about 60 FPS; ChatView lifecycle logic was duplicated inline. | Timer cadence is one second and hidden-paused; session side effects have one lifecycle owner. | ESLint/TypeScript passed; affected hook and state suites passed. |
+| I/O and scans | fix | Concurrent file searches, repo loads, external-history rescans, benchmark loads, and project refreshes could duplicate work or accept stale results. | Equivalent work is single-flight; scans run in blocking Rust context; mutation/invalidation generations fence old completions. | Rust search tests and changed frontend coordinator/rescan tests passed. |
+| Streaming/finality | fix | `agent:complete` was treated as authoritative completion before `agent:turn_completed`. | Intermediate completion is tagged and terminal/final events remain authoritative. | Rust-agent stream handler suite passed. |
+
+## Verification
+
+- Changed frontend ESLint: passed.
+- TypeScript typecheck: passed.
+- Changed frontend tests: 33 files, 214 tests passed.
+- Rust workspace all-target check: passed.
+- Affected Rust library tests: passed, including 3,081 `agent_core`, 508 `project_management`, 51 `search`, and 5 `transport` tests.
+- Changed Rust files `rustfmt --check`: passed.
+- `git diff --check`: passed.
+- Real Tauri primary/secondary visible-idle, hidden-idle, active-streaming, and repeated open/close measurement was not run in this audit environment.
+
+**Performance verdict: blocked — compilation and lifecycle/bound tests pass, but the required real Tauri runtime measurement was not collected.**

+# File index invalidation test cases
+
+## Preconditions
+
+- Git watcher events identify a repository with `repo_id`.
+- File-path index invalidation is a cheap state transition; it does not scan.
+- Content-only modifications do not change the indexed path set.
+
+## Happy path
+
+- Created, deleted, renamed, or unknown file events schedule invalidation.
+- Aggregate `repo:changed` events invalidate only when `change_type` is `files`.
+- Multiple events for one repository inside 250 ms produce one invalidation.
+- Simultaneous events for different repositories invalidate each root once.
+
+## Edge cases
+
+- `modified` events are ignored because filenames and paths are unchanged.
+- Disposing the listener clears pending invalidations.
+- Empty paths are not scheduled.
+
+## Error path
+
+- A rejected Tauri invalidation request is reported through the supplied error callback and does not create an unhandled rejection.
+
+## Accessibility
+
+- Not applicable: this lifecycle change has no rendered UI or input behavior.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- No timer causes indexing or repeated background scans.
+- A watcher burst produces at most one cheap invalidation call per root.
+- Listener teardown leaves no pending timer.

+# Benchmark async coordination test cases

+## Task discovery
+
+- Multiple mounted benchmark consumers requesting the same kind, source path,
+  and limit share one backend request.
+- A failed shared request releases its entry so a later retry can run.
+- A changed kind or source path is a distinct scope and cannot reuse the old
+  result.
+
+## Status polling
+
+- Agent-batch and benchmark-run status requests share one in-flight request per
+  identifier.
+- A completed status response is reused only inside the current two-second poll
+  period.
+- Polling never overlaps a still-running request.
+- Hidden pages keep no polling timer; becoming visible runs one catch-up pass.
+- Cleanup during an active request prevents any subsequent timer.

+# Work Items async loading test cases
+
+## View-data requests
+
+- The mount effect and a same-scope project-data event share one request.
+- Filtered reads with the same project, status, and search query share only
+  their active IPC request; a later intentional refresh still reaches Rust.
+- Changing project, status, or debounced search supersedes the prior scope.
+- A late response from the superseded scope cannot replace the visible data,
+  error, or loading state.
+- Failed requests release their scope so the same filters can retry.
+
+## Workspace aggregates
+
+- Mount, manual refresh, and a project-data event share equal in-flight work.
+- Switching org or external-source mode starts a new generation.
+- Linear and local results from an older generation cannot overwrite the new
+  workspace selection.

-## D1 — Raw HTML vs Design System
-
-| Line                          | Element                        | Verdict          | Reason                                                                                                                                                                     | Suggested change |
-| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------ | ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------- |
-| `ConversationMinimap.tsx:288` | `<nav>` conversation navigator | keep with reason | Semantic navigation landmark is appropriate; no design-system component covers this scroll-position rail.                                                                  | —                |
-| `ConversationMinimap.tsx:358` | Raw marker `<button>`          | keep with reason | The buttons are custom 8–20px minimap hit areas with `aria-label`, focus styling, and `aria-current`; standard Button/IconButton geometry does not cover this interaction. | —                |

-| `ConversationMinimap.tsx:293` | `@[640px]/chatbody:*` container-query variants | keep with reason | These are layout breakpoints rather than project-owned color-token escapes. The display override was the defect; the remaining width/alignment variants are intentional responsive geometry. | —                |

-| ----------------------------- | ---------- | ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------- |
-| `ConversationMinimap.tsx:293` | `w-[38px]` | keep with reason | The 38px rail aligns marker hit areas and hover controls; no color literal is introduced. | —                |
-| `ConversationMinimap.tsx:379` | `h-[3px]`  | keep with reason | Sub-spacing-scale marker thickness is an optical micro-size.                              | —                |

-| --------------------------------- | ------------------- | ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------- |
-| `ConversationMinimap.tsx:288-306` | Navigator landmark  | keep with reason | It has an accessible navigation label and clears preview state when focus leaves the control. | —                |
-| `ConversationMinimap.tsx:358-385` | Turn marker buttons | keep with reason | Every marker has an accessible name, keyboard focus support, and current-position semantics.  | —                |
-
-## D5 — Visual Patterns Observed
-
-- **Confirmed fixed pattern:** `ConversationMinimap.tsx:293` combined state-driven `hidden` with `@[640px]/chatbody:flex`; the responsive display utility overrode the idle state on wide chat panes. The forced responsive display utility was removed.
-- **No additional occurrence:** a repository-wide sweep found no other scroll/minimap component combining conditional idle hiding with a responsive display override.
-- **Intentional persistent rail:** `src/modules/shared/layouts/FocusedChatWorkstationRail.tsx:350-356` is a user-operated workstation shortcut panel shown only for maximized session chat at `xl`; it is not a scroll-position indicator and has no idle visibility contract.
-- **Intentional editor scroll chrome:** `src/components/CustomScrollbar/index.tsx` is shared by CodeMirror editor/diff/conflict surfaces. It starts transparent, appears during scroll or editor hover, and hides with bounded timers that are cleared on unmount.
-- **Intentional chat code-block behavior:** `src/engines/ChatPanel/blocks/CodeBlock/index.scss:8-38,71-105` hides horizontal scrollbars by default and reveals them only on hover or while `data-scrolling` is set.
-- **Intentional native scroll surfaces:** `.scrollbar-overlay`, `.dropdown-options-scrollbar`, and `.select-options-overlay` are explicit visible-scrollbar policies for detail panels, long option lists, previews, and editors. They do not use the defective conditional-hidden/responsive-display pattern.
-- **Already hidden surfaces:** chat history list, turn-page list, settings surfaces, sidebars, tab strips, and work-item detail containers use `scrollbar-hide` or scoped `scrollbar-width: none`.

-# Performance Guard — Uncommitted Runtime Batch
-
-**Scope:** changed polling, listeners, caches, queues, scans, request coordinators, webviews, session lifecycles, and streaming finality on `junyu/rpc-performance-closure`.
-**Date:** 2026-07-27
-
-## Lifecycle matrix
-
-| Dimension | Audited behavior |
-| --- | --- |
-| App | Module caches are bounded or weakly owned; durable queue initialization retries after transient failure; Rust blocking scans stay off async executor threads. |
-| Document | Proposal countdown pauses while hidden; native webview layout/URL work is active only for visible webviews; focus-based GitHub verification unregisters after confirmation. |
-| Network | Equivalent repo/project/benchmark/history requests coalesce; generations reject stale completions; failures do not become permanent queue-store state. |
-| Identity | Team Inbox cloud state keys endpoint + authenticated user + org; receipt overlays use the latest identity-scoped state. |
-| Scope | Repo/project/file-index keys include the complete resource scope and invalidate by generation. |
-| Session | Queue persistence is per Jotai store; secondary ChatView releases its pipeline claim; session deletion/disposal paths retain their explicit cleanup. |
-| Instance | No new cross-process shared mutable frontend cache was added; filesystem and auth separation for secondary processes is unchanged. |
-
-## Findings and evidence
-
-| Area | Verdict | Evidence | Change or reason kept | Verification |
-| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
-| Background work | fix | Proposal countdown previously rendered at animation-frame cadence; GitHub star fallback retained a focus listener after success; hidden webviews could retain layout work. | Countdown now updates at most once per second and pauses hidden; confirmation clears fallback/listener state; layout work is visibility gated. | Changed frontend suite includes GitHub focus regression and webview visibility/layout tests; 214/214 passed. |
-| Background work | keep | Existing visible inline-webview URL polling owns one startup timeout and one interval, cleared on hidden/unmount/destroy. | Kept as navigation-state fallback; no overlap is introduced by this batch. | Visibility and native-layout lifecycle tests passed. |
-| Memory | fix | File indexes, RPC validation diagnostics, browser webviews, repo/project coordinators, and durable queue state are app/session lifetime structures. | File index uses bounded keyed cache + generation invalidation; RPC diagnostics cap at 200; browser retains at most two navigable webviews; queue subscription is `WeakMap<Store, ...>` owned. | File-index coalescing/invalidation/recovery tests, RPC bound tests, browser retention tests, and queue persistence tests passed. |
-| Scope/isolation | fix | Team Inbox page completion captured an old receipt map; repo/file/project requests can finish after invalidation. | Latest receipt ref is applied at commit; identity-complete keys and generation guards reject stale writes. | Team Inbox identity tests, project cache/purge tests, repo coordination tests, file-index invalidation tests, and sidebar loader stale-result tests passed. |
-| Rendering/hot path | fix | Agent proposal countdown previously woke the full creator tree at about 60 FPS; ChatView lifecycle logic was duplicated inline. | Timer cadence is one second and hidden-paused; session side effects have one lifecycle owner. | ESLint/TypeScript passed; affected hook and state suites passed. |
-| I/O and scans | fix | Concurrent file searches, repo loads, external-history rescans, benchmark loads, and project refreshes could duplicate work or accept stale results. | Equivalent work is single-flight; scans run in blocking Rust context; mutation/invalidation generations fence old completions. | Rust search tests and changed frontend coordinator/rescan tests passed. |
-| Streaming/finality | fix | `agent:complete` was treated as authoritative completion before `agent:turn_completed`. | Intermediate completion is tagged and terminal/final events remain authoritative. | Rust-agent stream handler suite passed. |
-
-## Verification
-
-- Changed frontend ESLint: passed.
-- TypeScript typecheck: passed.
-- Changed frontend tests: 33 files, 214 tests passed.
-- Rust workspace all-target check: passed.
-- Affected Rust library tests: passed, including 3,081 `agent_core`, 508 `project_management`, 51 `search`, and 5 `transport` tests.
-- Changed Rust files `rustfmt --check`: passed.
-- `git diff --check`: passed.
-- Real Tauri primary/secondary visible-idle, hidden-idle, active-streaming, and repeated open/close measurement was not run in this audit environment.
-
-**Performance verdict: blocked — compilation and lifecycle/bound tests pass, but the required real Tauri runtime measurement was not collected.**
