client: repository Playwright, /usr/bin/google-chrome, real dev web app
scenario: real local Verification_API_35 Android AVD plus SSH host 192.0.2.1
setup: created project/thread/settings through web UI; real Codex gpt-6.1-sol turns

cold Device panel request, milliseconds relative to device.list sent:
main: SSH failure 10077; local starting 10109; local ready 10474; local AVD published 11281
pr: local starting 94; local ready 601; local AVD published 1457; SSH failure 10059
main first local startup happens after SSH failure; pr local device is visible before SSH failure.

real provider MCP path, Codex gpt-6.1-sol:
2026-11-01T02:57:39.443Z item/started mcpToolCall t3-code.device_list {}
2026-11-01T02:57:49.490Z item/completed durationMs=10079 error=null
result: local ready; SSH failed; Verification_API_35 (emulator-5554), Android 15.0, booted=true
all-host device_list response still waits for SSH; web state updates arrive independently.

neighboring checks:
local Start accepted while SSH Retry active; AVD booted and later listed by provider.
Device hub disabled 1035ms after SSH Retry clicked; after late SSH failure switch remained false.
Device hub re-enabled and local device returned.

blacksmith-check: focused DeviceMultiHost and SshDeviceHost tests 8/8 pass
blacksmith-check: vp run check:changed pass (format, lint, knip, graphql, types, 3 test files)
remote runner required explicit base history fetch before check:changed could run.
