repository playwright and /usr/bin/google-chrome drove the web client.
added /home/user/t3code as a real project through add project > local folder.
selected codex gpt-6.1-sol and submitted the read-only verification prompt.
real response: 40 repetitions of $file-upload $unknown-inline-check in one paragraph.
actual provider catalog: 29 skills.
cdp conditional logpoint at the loaded matcher's skills.find expression:
one complete scan of that 1,399-character response paragraph recorded 80 catalog searches.
no mocked provider, fixture messages, synthetic skill catalog, or source instrumentation.
$ kill -TERM -- -20392
main server stopped; both main ports absent before starting pr.

captured pid 27392; serverPort=13773 webPort=5733; isolated /home/user/t3code/.t3
created project and thread through the web app; same codex gpt-6.1-sol prompt.
real response: same 1,399-character repeated paragraph and actual 29-skill catalog.
equivalent cdp logpoint: 2 catalog searches, one known name and one unknown name.
this measures catalog searches in the real renderer, not end-to-end latency or frame time.

nearby behavior through actual client interactions
40 assistant skill chips rendered; all 40 unknown tokens stayed plain text.
inline code: $file-upload; link: $file-upload -> https://example.com/
chip > view instructions opened /home/user/.agents/skills/file-upload/SKILL.md.
closed the file panel, reloaded the conversation, and asserted again:
{"chips":40,"unknown":40,"code":["$file-upload"],"links":[{"text":"$file-upload","href":"https://example.com/"}]}
captured and inspected before/after screenshots and a 5.8-second interaction gif.

checks, all through blacksmith-check
$ vp i && vp test run packages/shared/src/inlineSkills.test.ts
1 file passed, 6 tests passed.
remote snapshot initially lacked history, so fetched the contributor branch with depth 16.
$ vp run check:changed 30084f0018c5751a07291222e8d04e16d513700a
2 changed files; format passed; lint passed; knip 1/2 passed; knip 2/2 passed;
33 affected package typechecks passed; 2 selected files / 7 tests passed.

unverified
native desktop, ios/android, other providers, catalog changes between renders,
production-build/high-volume performance, and end-to-end frame-time/latency improvements.
no code changes, commits, or pushes were needed.
