browser: repository Playwright 1.60.0 with /usr/bin/google-chrome
data: real shallow clone of https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/cli.git; project and thread created in the UI; real Codex gpt-6.1-sol turns, no mocks or seeded/demo records

main app: click the real GitLab MR link in a provider response, open detail for gitlab-org/cli!4240. One file appears; additions/deletions absent.
pr app: same data and MR, same 1600x1000 viewport: +1 -1 appears. Hover totals: Code +1 -1; Total +1 -1.
neighbor checks: expanded .tool-versions diff shows markdownlint-cli2 0.23.3 -> 0.24.0; timeline shows creation and commit; hover-card shows title, author, open state. Description, labels, reviewer, checks remain visible.
real Codex gpt-6.1-sol turn on pr: git status --short and git branch --show-current -> clean, main; completed in approximately 9 seconds as shown in app. Real provider link_pull_request call also linked the MR to the isolated thread, without watching or posting to it.

Public GitLab reads, detail, file breakdown and server listStats were exercised without credentials. Batch/failure handling covered only by existing focused tests.
