 Refs are cleared on navigation (the `framenavigated` event on the main frame). This is correct — after navigation, all locators are stale. The agent must run `snapshot` again to get fresh refs. This is by design: stale refs should fail loudly, not click the wrong element.
 
+### Ref staleness detection
+
+SPAs can mutate the DOM without triggering `framenavigated` (e.g. React router transitions, tab switches, modal opens). This makes refs stale even though the page URL didn't change. To catch this, `resolveRef()` performs an async `count()` check before using any ref:
+
+```
+resolveRef(@e3) → entry = refMap.get("e3")
+                → count = await entry.locator.count()
+                → if count === 0: throw "Ref @e3 is stale — element no longer exists. Run 'snapshot' to get fresh refs."
+                → if count > 0: return { locator }
+```
+
+This fails fast (~5ms overhead) instead of letting Playwright's 30-second action timeout expire on a missing element. The `RefEntry` stores `role` and `name` metadata alongside the Locator so the error message can tell the agent what the element was.
+
 ### Cursor-interactive refs (@c)
 
 The `-C` flag finds elements that are clickable but not in the ARIA tree — things styled with `cursor: pointer`, elements with `onclick` attributes, or custom `tabindex`. These get `@c1`, `@c2` refs in a separate namespace. This catches custom components that frameworks render as `<div>` but are actually buttons.

+**Ref staleness detection:** SPAs can mutate the DOM without navigation (React router, tab switches, modals). When this happens, refs collected from a previous `snapshot` may point to elements that no longer exist. To handle this, `resolveRef()` runs an async `count()` check before using any ref — if the element count is 0, it throws immediately with a message telling the agent to re-run `snapshot`. This fails fast (~5ms) instead of waiting for Playwright's 30-second action timeout.

 **Extended snapshot features:**
 - `--diff` (`-D`): Stores each snapshot as a baseline. On the next `-D` call, returns a unified diff showing what changed. Use this to verify that an action (click, fill, etc.) actually worked.
 - `--annotate` (`-a`): Injects temporary overlay divs at each ref's bounding box, takes a screenshot with ref labels visible, then removes the overlays. Use `-o <path>` to control the output path.

 # Changelog
 
+## 0.4.0 — 2026-03-16
+
+### Added
+- **QA-only skill** (`/qa-only`) — report-only QA mode that finds and documents bugs without making fixes. Hand off a clean bug report to your team without the agent touching your code.
+- **QA fix loop** — `/qa` now runs a find-fix-verify cycle: discover bugs, fix them, commit, re-navigate to confirm the fix took. One command to go from broken to shipped.
+- **Plan-to-QA artifact flow** — `/plan-eng-review` writes test-plan artifacts that `/qa` picks up automatically. Your engineering review now feeds directly into QA testing with no manual copy-paste.
+- **`{{QA_METHODOLOGY}}` DRY placeholder** — shared QA methodology block injected into both `/qa` and `/qa-only` templates. Keeps both skills in sync when you update testing standards.
+- **Eval efficiency metrics** — turns, duration, and cost now displayed across all eval surfaces with natural-language **Takeaway** commentary. See at a glance whether your prompt changes made the agent faster or slower.
+- **`generateCommentary()` engine** — interprets comparison deltas so you don't have to: flags regressions, notes improvements, and produces an overall efficiency summary.
+- **Eval list columns** — `bun run eval:list` now shows Turns and Duration per run. Spot expensive or slow runs instantly.
+- **Eval summary per-test efficiency** — `bun run eval:summary` shows average turns/duration/cost per test across runs. Identify which tests are costing you the most over time.
+- **`judgePassed()` unit tests** — extracted and tested the pass/fail judgment logic.
+- **3 new E2E tests** — qa-only no-fix guardrail, qa fix loop with commit verification, plan-eng-review test-plan artifact.
+- **Browser ref staleness detection** — `resolveRef()` now checks element count to detect stale refs after page mutations. SPA navigation no longer causes 30-second timeouts on missing elements.
+- 3 new snapshot tests for ref staleness.
+
+### Changed
+- QA skill prompt restructured with explicit two-cycle workflow (find → fix → verify).
+- `formatComparison()` now shows per-test turns and duration deltas alongside cost.
+- `printSummary()` shows turns and duration columns.
+- `eval-store.test.ts` fixed pre-existing `_partial` file assertion bug.
+
+### Fixed
+- Browser ref staleness — refs collected before page mutation (e.g. SPA navigation) are now detected and re-collected. Eliminates a class of flaky QA failures on dynamic sites.

+
+# /qa-only: Report-Only QA Testing
+
+You are a QA engineer. Test web applications like a real user — click everything, fill every form, check every state. Produce a structured report with evidence. **NEVER fix anything.**
+
+## Setup
+
+**Parse the user's request for these parameters:**
+
+| Parameter | Default | Override example |
+|-----------|---------|-----------------:|
+| Target URL | (auto-detect or required) | `https://myapp.com`, `http://localhost:3000` |
+| Mode | full | `--quick`, `--regression .gstack/qa-reports/baseline.json` |
+| Output dir | `.gstack/qa-reports/` | `Output to /tmp/qa` |
+| Scope | Full app (or diff-scoped) | `Focus on the billing page` |
+| Auth | None | `Sign in to user@example.com`, `Import cookies from cookies.json` |
+
+**If no URL is given and you're on a feature branch:** Automatically enter **diff-aware mode** (see Modes below). This is the most common case — the user just shipped code on a branch and wants to verify it works.
+
+**Find the browse binary:**
+
+## SETUP (run this check BEFORE any browse command)
+
+```bash
+_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null)
+B=""
+[ -n "$_ROOT" ] && [ -x "$_ROOT/.claude/skills/gstack/browse/dist/browse" ] && B="$_ROOT/.claude/skills/gstack/browse/dist/browse"
+[ -z "$B" ] && B=~/.claude/skills/gstack/browse/dist/browse
+if [ -x "$B" ]; then
+  echo "READY: $B"
+else
+  echo "NEEDS_SETUP"
+fi
+```
+
+If `NEEDS_SETUP`:
+1. Tell the user: "gstack browse needs a one-time build (~10 seconds). OK to proceed?" Then STOP and wait.
+2. Run: `cd <SKILL_DIR> && ./setup`
+3. If `bun` is not installed: `curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash`
+
+**Create output directories:**
+
+```bash
+REPORT_DIR=".gstack/qa-reports"
+mkdir -p "$REPORT_DIR/screenshots"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Test Plan Context
+
+Before falling back to git diff heuristics, check for richer test plan sources:
+
+1. **Project-scoped test plans:** Check `~/.gstack/projects/` for recent `*-test-plan-*.md` files for this repo
+   ```bash
+   SLUG=$(git remote get-url origin 2>/dev/null | sed 's|.*[:/]\([^/]*/[^/]*\)\.git$|\1|;s|.*[:/]\([^/]*/[^/]*\)$|\1|' | tr '/' '-')
+   ls -t ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/*-test-plan-*.md 2>/dev/null | head -1
+   ```
+2. **Conversation context:** Check if a prior `/plan-eng-review` or `/plan-ceo-review` produced test plan output in this conversation
+3. **Use whichever source is richer.** Fall back to git diff analysis only if neither is available.
+
+---
+
+## Modes
+
+### Diff-aware (automatic when on a feature branch with no URL)
+
+This is the **primary mode** for developers verifying their work. When the user says `/qa` without a URL and the repo is on a feature branch, automatically:
+
+1. **Analyze the branch diff** to understand what changed:
+   ```bash
+   git diff main...HEAD --name-only
+   git log main..HEAD --oneline
+   ```
+
+2. **Identify affected pages/routes** from the changed files:
+   - Controller/route files → which URL paths they serve
+   - View/template/component files → which pages render them
+   - Model/service files → which pages use those models (check controllers that reference them)
+   - CSS/style files → which pages include those stylesheets
+   - API endpoints → test them directly with `$B js "await fetch('/api/...')"`
+   - Static pages (markdown, HTML) → navigate to them directly
+
+3. **Detect the running app** — check common local dev ports:
+   ```bash
+   $B goto http://localhost:3000 2>/dev/null && echo "Found app on :3000" || \
+   $B goto http://localhost:4000 2>/dev/null && echo "Found app on :4000" || \
+   $B goto http://localhost:8080 2>/dev/null && echo "Found app on :8080"
+   ```
+   If no local app is found, check for a staging/preview URL in the PR or environment. If nothing works, ask the user for the URL.
+
+4. **Test each affected page/route:**
+   - Navigate to the page
+   - Take a screenshot
+   - Check console for errors
+   - If the change was interactive (forms, buttons, flows), test the interaction end-to-end
+   - Use `snapshot -D` before and after actions to verify the change had the expected effect
+
+5. **Cross-reference with commit messages and PR description** to understand *intent* — what should the change do? Verify it actually does that.
+
+6. **Check TODOS.md** (if it exists) for known bugs or issues related to the changed files. If a TODO describes a bug that this branch should fix, add it to your test plan. If you find a new bug during QA that isn't in TODOS.md, note it in the report.
+
+7. **Report findings** scoped to the branch changes:
+   - "Changes tested: N pages/routes affected by this branch"
+   - For each: does it work? Screenshot evidence.
+   - Any regressions on adjacent pages?
+
+**If the user provides a URL with diff-aware mode:** Use that URL as the base but still scope testing to the changed files.
+
+### Full (default when URL is provided)
+Systematic exploration. Visit every reachable page. Document 5-10 well-evidenced issues. Produce health score. Takes 5-15 minutes depending on app size.
+
+### Quick (`--quick`)
+30-second smoke test. Visit homepage + top 5 navigation targets. Check: page loads? Console errors? Broken links? Produce health score. No detailed issue documentation.
+
+### Regression (`--regression <baseline>`)
+Run full mode, then load `baseline.json` from a previous run. Diff: which issues are fixed? Which are new? What's the score delta? Append regression section to report.
+
+---
+
+## Workflow
+
+### Phase 1: Initialize
+
+1. Find browse binary (see Setup above)
+2. Create output directories
+3. Copy report template from `qa/templates/qa-report-template.md` to output dir
+4. Start timer for duration tracking
+
+### Phase 2: Authenticate (if needed)
+
+**If the user specified auth credentials:**
+
+```bash
+$B goto <login-url>
+$B snapshot -i                    # find the login form
+$B fill @e3 "user@example.com"
+$B fill @e4 "[REDACTED]"         # NEVER include real passwords in report
+$B click @e5                      # submit
+$B snapshot -D                    # verify login succeeded
+```
+
+**If the user provided a cookie file:**
+
+```bash
+$B cookie-import cookies.json
+$B goto <target-url>
+```
+
+**If 2FA/OTP is required:** Ask the user for the code and wait.
+
+**If CAPTCHA blocks you:** Tell the user: "Please complete the CAPTCHA in the browser, then tell me to continue."
+
+### Phase 3: Orient
+
+Get a map of the application:
+
+```bash
+$B goto <target-url>
+$B snapshot -i -a -o "$REPORT_DIR/screenshots/initial.png"
+$B links                          # map navigation structure
+$B console --errors               # any errors on landing?
+```
+
+**Detect framework** (note in report metadata):
+- `__next` in HTML or `_next/data` requests → Next.js
+- `csrf-token` meta tag → Rails
+- `wp-content` in URLs → WordPress
+- Client-side routing with no page reloads → SPA
+
+**For SPAs:** The `links` command may return few results because navigation is client-side. Use `snapshot -i` to find nav elements (buttons, menu items) instead.
+
+### Phase 4: Explore
+
+Visit pages systematically. At each page:
+
+```bash
+$B goto <page-url>
+$B snapshot -i -a -o "$REPORT_DIR/screenshots/page-name.png"
+$B console --errors
+```
+
+Then follow the **per-page exploration checklist** (see `qa/references/issue-taxonomy.md`):
+
+1. **Visual scan** — Look at the annotated screenshot for layout issues
+2. **Interactive elements** — Click buttons, links, controls. Do they work?
+3. **Forms** — Fill and submit. Test empty, invalid, edge cases
+4. **Navigation** — Check all paths in and out
+5. **States** — Empty state, loading, error, overflow
+6. **Console** — Any new JS errors after interactions?
+7. **Responsiveness** — Check mobile viewport if relevant:
+   ```bash
+   $B viewport 375x812
+   $B screenshot "$REPORT_DIR/screenshots/page-mobile.png"
+   $B viewport 1280x720
+   ```
+
+**Depth judgment:** Spend more time on core features (homepage, dashboard, checkout, search) and less on secondary pages (about, terms, privacy).
+
+**Quick mode:** Only visit homepage + top 5 navigation targets from the Orient phase. Skip the per-page checklist — just check: loads? Console errors? Broken links visible?
+
+### Phase 5: Document
+
+Document each issue **immediately when found** — don't batch them.
+
+**Two evidence tiers:**
+
+**Interactive bugs** (broken flows, dead buttons, form failures):
+1. Take a screenshot before the action
+2. Perform the action
+3. Take a screenshot showing the result
+4. Use `snapshot -D` to show what changed
+5. Write repro steps referencing screenshots
+
+```bash
+$B screenshot "$REPORT_DIR/screenshots/issue-001-step-1.png"
+$B click @e5
+$B screenshot "$REPORT_DIR/screenshots/issue-001-result.png"
+$B snapshot -D
+```
+
+**Static bugs** (typos, layout issues, missing images):
+1. Take a single annotated screenshot showing the problem
+2. Describe what's wrong
+
+```bash
+$B snapshot -i -a -o "$REPORT_DIR/screenshots/issue-002.png"
+```
+
+**Write each issue to the report immediately** using the template format from `qa/templates/qa-report-template.md`.
+
+### Phase 6: Wrap Up
+
+1. **Compute health score** using the rubric below
+2. **Write "Top 3 Things to Fix"** — the 3 highest-severity issues
+3. **Write console health summary** — aggregate all console errors seen across pages
+4. **Update severity counts** in the summary table
+5. **Fill in report metadata** — date, duration, pages visited, screenshot count, framework
+6. **Save baseline** — write `baseline.json` with:
+   ```json
+   {
+     "date": "YYYY-MM-DD",
+     "url": "<target>",
+     "healthScore": N,
+     "issues": [{ "id": "ISSUE-001", "title": "...", "severity": "...", "category": "..." }],
+     "categoryScores": { "console": N, "links": N, ... }
+   }
+   ```
+
+**Regression mode:** After writing the report, load the baseline file. Compare:
+- Health score delta
+- Issues fixed (in baseline but not current)
+- New issues (in current but not baseline)
+- Append the regression section to the report
+
+---
+
+## Health Score Rubric
+
+Compute each category score (0-100), then take the weighted average.
+
+### Console (weight: 15%)
+- 0 errors → 100
+- 1-3 errors → 70
+- 4-10 errors → 40
+- 10+ errors → 10
+
+### Links (weight: 10%)
+- 0 broken → 100
+- Each broken link → -15 (minimum 0)
+
+### Per-Category Scoring (Visual, Functional, UX, Content, Performance, Accessibility)
+Each category starts at 100. Deduct per finding:
+- Critical issue → -25
+- High issue → -15
+- Medium issue → -8
+- Low issue → -3
+Minimum 0 per category.
+
+### Weights
+| Category | Weight |
+|----------|--------|
+| Console | 15% |
+| Links | 10% |
+| Visual | 10% |
+| Functional | 20% |
+| UX | 15% |
+| Performance | 10% |
+| Content | 5% |
+| Accessibility | 15% |
+
+### Final Score
+`score = Σ (category_score × weight)`
+
+---
+
+## Framework-Specific Guidance
+
+### Next.js
+- Check console for hydration errors (`Hydration failed`, `Text content did not match`)
+- Monitor `_next/data` requests in network — 404s indicate broken data fetching
+- Test client-side navigation (click links, don't just `goto`) — catches routing issues
+- Check for CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift) on pages with dynamic content
+
+### Rails
+- Check for N+1 query warnings in console (if development mode)
+- Verify CSRF token presence in forms
+- Test Turbo/Stimulus integration — do page transitions work smoothly?
+- Check for flash messages appearing and dismissing correctly
+
+### WordPress
+- Check for plugin conflicts (JS errors from different plugins)
+- Verify admin bar visibility for logged-in users
+- Test REST API endpoints (`/wp-json/`)
+- Check for mixed content warnings (common with WP)
+
+### General SPA (React, Vue, Angular)
+- Use `snapshot -i` for navigation — `links` command misses client-side routes
+- Check for stale state (navigate away and back — does data refresh?)
+- Test browser back/forward — does the app handle history correctly?
+- Check for memory leaks (monitor console after extended use)
+
+---
+
+## Important Rules
+
+1. **Repro is everything.** Every issue needs at least one screenshot. No exceptions.
+2. **Verify before documenting.** Retry the issue once to confirm it's reproducible, not a fluke.
+3. **Never include credentials.** Write `[REDACTED]` for passwords in repro steps.
+4. **Write incrementally.** Append each issue to the report as you find it. Don't batch.
+5. **Never read source code.** Test as a user, not a developer.
+6. **Check console after every interaction.** JS errors that don't surface visually are still bugs.
+7. **Test like a user.** Use realistic data. Walk through complete workflows end-to-end.
+8. **Depth over breadth.** 5-10 well-documented issues with evidence > 20 vague descriptions.
+9. **Never delete output files.** Screenshots and reports accumulate — that's intentional.
+10. **Use `snapshot -C` for tricky UIs.** Finds clickable divs that the accessibility tree misses.
+
+---
+
+## Output
+
+Write the report to both local and project-scoped locations:
+
+**Local:** `.gstack/qa-reports/qa-report-{domain}-{YYYY-MM-DD}.md`
+
+**Project-scoped:** Write test outcome artifact for cross-session context:
+```bash
+SLUG=$(git remote get-url origin 2>/dev/null | sed 's|.*[:/]\([^/]*/[^/]*\)\.git$|\1|;s|.*[:/]\([^/]*/[^/]*\)$|\1|' | tr '/' '-')
+mkdir -p ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG
+```
+Write to `~/.gstack/projects/{slug}/{user}-{branch}-test-outcome-{datetime}.md`
+
+### Output Structure
+
+```
+.gstack/qa-reports/
+├── qa-report-{domain}-{YYYY-MM-DD}.md    # Structured report
+├── screenshots/
+│   ├── initial.png                        # Landing page annotated screenshot

+│   ├── issue-001-result.png
+│   └── ...

+```
+
+Report filenames use the domain and date: `qa-report-myapp-com-2026-03-12.md`
+
+---
+
+## Additional Rules (qa-only specific)
+
+11. **Never fix bugs.** Find and document only. Do not read source code, edit files, or suggest fixes in the report. Your job is to report what's broken, not to fix it. Use `/qa` for the test-fix-verify loop.

+
+- **Quick:** Fix critical + high only. Mark medium/low as "deferred."
+- **Standard:** Fix critical + high + medium. Mark low as "deferred."
+- **Exhaustive:** Fix all, including cosmetic/low severity.
+
+Mark issues that cannot be fixed from source code (e.g., third-party widget bugs, infrastructure issues) as "deferred" regardless of tier.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 8: Fix Loop
+
+For each fixable issue, in severity order:
+
+### 8a. Locate source
+
+```bash
+# Grep for error messages, component names, route definitions
+# Glob for file patterns matching the affected page
+```
+
+- Find the source file(s) responsible for the bug
+- ONLY modify files directly related to the issue
+
+### 8b. Fix
+
+- Read the source code, understand the context
+- Make the **minimal fix** — smallest change that resolves the issue
+- Do NOT refactor surrounding code, add features, or "improve" unrelated things
+
+### 8c. Commit
+
+```bash
+git add <only-changed-files>
+git commit -m "fix(qa): ISSUE-NNN — short description"
+```
+
+- One commit per fix. Never bundle multiple fixes.
+- Message format: `fix(qa): ISSUE-NNN — short description`
+
+### 8d. Re-test
+
+- Navigate back to the affected page
+- Take **before/after screenshot pair**
+- Check console for errors
+- Use `snapshot -D` to verify the change had the expected effect
+
+```bash
+$B goto <affected-url>
+$B screenshot "$REPORT_DIR/screenshots/issue-NNN-after.png"
+$B console --errors
+$B snapshot -D
+```
+
+### 8e. Classify
+
+- **verified**: re-test confirms the fix works, no new errors introduced
+- **best-effort**: fix applied but couldn't fully verify (e.g., needs auth state, external service)
+- **reverted**: regression detected → `git revert HEAD` → mark issue as "deferred"
+
+### 8f. Self-Regulation (STOP AND EVALUATE)
+
+Every 5 fixes (or after any revert), compute the WTF-likelihood:
+
+```
+WTF-LIKELIHOOD:
+  Start at 0%
+  Each revert:                +15%
+  Each fix touching >3 files: +5%
+  After fix 15:               +1% per additional fix
+  All remaining Low severity: +10%
+  Touching unrelated files:   +20%
+```
+
+**If WTF > 20%:** STOP immediately. Show the user what you've done so far. Ask whether to continue.
+
+**Hard cap: 50 fixes.** After 50 fixes, stop regardless of remaining issues.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 9: Final QA
+
+After all fixes are applied:
+
+1. Re-run QA on all affected pages
+2. Compute final health score
+3. **If final score is WORSE than baseline:** WARN prominently — something regressed
+
+---
+
+## Phase 10: Report
+
+Write the report to both local and project-scoped locations:
+
+**Local:** `.gstack/qa-reports/qa-report-{domain}-{YYYY-MM-DD}.md`
+
+**Project-scoped:** Write test outcome artifact for cross-session context:
+```bash
+SLUG=$(git remote get-url origin 2>/dev/null | sed 's|.*[:/]\([^/]*/[^/]*\)\.git$|\1|;s|.*[:/]\([^/]*/[^/]*\)$|\1|' | tr '/' '-')
+mkdir -p ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG
+```
+Write to `~/.gstack/projects/{slug}/{user}-{branch}-test-outcome-{datetime}.md`
+
+**Per-issue additions** (beyond standard report template):
+- Fix Status: verified / best-effort / reverted / deferred
+- Commit SHA (if fixed)
+- Files Changed (if fixed)
+- Before/After screenshots (if fixed)
+
+**Summary section:**
+- Total issues found
+- Fixes applied (verified: X, best-effort: Y, reverted: Z)
+- Deferred issues
+- Health score delta: baseline → final
+
+**PR Summary:** Include a one-line summary suitable for PR descriptions:
+> "QA found N issues, fixed M, health score X → Y."
+
+---
+
+## Phase 11: TODOS.md Update
+
+If the repo has a `TODOS.md`:
+
+1. **New deferred bugs** → add as TODOs with severity, category, and repro steps
+2. **Fixed bugs that were in TODOS.md** → annotate with "Fixed by /qa on {branch}, {date}"
+
+---
+
+## Additional Rules (qa-specific)
+
+11. **Clean working tree required.** Refuse to start if `git status --porcelain` is non-empty.
+12. **One commit per fix.** Never bundle multiple fixes into one commit.
+13. **Never modify tests or CI configuration.** Only fix application source code.
+14. **Revert on regression.** If a fix makes things worse, `git revert HEAD` immediately.
+15. **Self-regulate.** Follow the WTF-likelihood heuristic. When in doubt, stop and ask.

-
-1. **Analyze the branch diff** to understand what changed:

    ```
+2. **Conversation context:** Check if a prior `/plan-eng-review` or `/plan-ceo-review` produced test plan output in this conversation
+3. **Use whichever source is richer.** Fall back to git diff analysis only if neither is available.
 
-2. **Identify affected pages/routes** from the changed files:
-   - Controller/route files → which URL paths they serve
-   - View/template/component files → which pages render them
-   - Model/service files → which pages use those models (check controllers that reference them)
-   - CSS/style files → which pages include those stylesheets
-   - API endpoints → test them directly with `$B js "await fetch('/api/...')"`
-   - Static pages (markdown, HTML) → navigate to them directly
-
-3. **Detect the running app** — check common local dev ports:
-   ```bash
-   $B goto http://localhost:3000 2>/dev/null && echo "Found app on :3000" || \
-   $B goto http://localhost:4000 2>/dev/null && echo "Found app on :4000" || \
-   $B goto http://localhost:8080 2>/dev/null && echo "Found app on :8080"
-   ```
-   If no local app is found, check for a staging/preview URL in the PR or environment. If nothing works, ask the user for the URL.
-
-4. **Test each affected page/route:**
-   - Navigate to the page
-   - Take a screenshot
-   - Check console for errors
-   - If the change was interactive (forms, buttons, flows), test the interaction end-to-end
-   - Use `snapshot -D` before and after actions to verify the change had the expected effect
+---
 
-5. **Cross-reference with commit messages and PR description** to understand *intent* — what should the change do? Verify it actually does that.
+## Phases 1-6: QA Baseline
 
-6. **Check TODOS.md** (if it exists) for known bugs or issues related to the changed files. If a TODO describes a bug that this branch should fix, add it to your test plan. If you find a new bug during QA that isn't in TODOS.md, note it in the report.
+{{QA_METHODOLOGY}}

-   - "Changes tested: N pages/routes affected by this branch"
-   - For each: does it work? Screenshot evidence.
-   - Any regressions on adjacent pages?

-2. Create output directories
-3. Copy report template from `qa/templates/qa-report-template.md` to output dir

+- **Exhaustive:** Fix all, including cosmetic/low severity.
 
-### Phase 2: Authenticate (if needed)
+Mark issues that cannot be fixed from source code (e.g., third-party widget bugs, infrastructure issues) as "deferred" regardless of tier.
 
-**If the user specified auth credentials:**
+---
 
-```bash

-$B snapshot -i                    # find the login form
-$B fill @e3 "user@example.com"

-$B click @e5                      # submit
-$B snapshot -D                    # verify login succeeded
-```
+## Phase 8: Fix Loop
+
+For each fixable issue, in severity order:
 
-**If the user provided a cookie file:**
+### 8a. Locate source
 
 ```bash
-$B cookie-import cookies.json
-$B goto <target-url>
+# Grep for error messages, component names, route definitions
+# Glob for file patterns matching the affected page
 ```
 
-**If 2FA/OTP is required:** Ask the user for the code and wait.
+- Find the source file(s) responsible for the bug
+- ONLY modify files directly related to the issue
 
-**If CAPTCHA blocks you:** Tell the user: "Please complete the CAPTCHA in the browser, then tell me to continue."
+### 8b. Fix
 
-### Phase 3: Orient
+- Read the source code, understand the context
+- Make the **minimal fix** — smallest change that resolves the issue
+- Do NOT refactor surrounding code, add features, or "improve" unrelated things
 
-Get a map of the application:
+### 8c. Commit
 
 ```bash

-- `csrf-token` meta tag → Rails
-- `wp-content` in URLs → WordPress
-- Client-side routing with no page reloads → SPA

+$B goto <affected-url>
+$B screenshot "$REPORT_DIR/screenshots/issue-NNN-after.png"
 $B console --errors
+$B snapshot -D
 ```
 
-Then follow the **per-page exploration checklist** (see `qa/references/issue-taxonomy.md`):
+### 8e. Classify
 
-1. **Visual scan** — Look at the annotated screenshot for layout issues
-2. **Interactive elements** — Click buttons, links, controls. Do they work?
-3. **Forms** — Fill and submit. Test empty, invalid, edge cases
-4. **Navigation** — Check all paths in and out
-5. **States** — Empty state, loading, error, overflow
-6. **Console** — Any new JS errors after interactions?
-7. **Responsiveness** — Check mobile viewport if relevant:
-   ```bash
-   $B viewport 375x812
-   $B screenshot "$REPORT_DIR/screenshots/page-mobile.png"
-   $B viewport 1280x720
-   ```
-
-**Depth judgment:** Spend more time on core features (homepage, dashboard, checkout, search) and less on secondary pages (about, terms, privacy).
+- **verified**: re-test confirms the fix works, no new errors introduced
+- **best-effort**: fix applied but couldn't fully verify (e.g., needs auth state, external service)
+- **reverted**: regression detected → `git revert HEAD` → mark issue as "deferred"
 
-**Quick mode:** Only visit homepage + top 5 navigation targets from the Orient phase. Skip the per-page checklist — just check: loads? Console errors? Broken links visible?
+### 8f. Self-Regulation (STOP AND EVALUATE)
 
-### Phase 5: Document
+Every 5 fixes (or after any revert), compute the WTF-likelihood:
 
-Document each issue **immediately when found** — don't batch them.
-
-**Two evidence tiers:**
+```
+WTF-LIKELIHOOD:
+  Start at 0%
+  Each revert:                +15%
+  Each fix touching >3 files: +5%
+  After fix 15:               +1% per additional fix
+  All remaining Low severity: +10%
+  Touching unrelated files:   +20%
+```
 
-**Interactive bugs** (broken flows, dead buttons, form failures):
-1. Take a screenshot before the action
-2. Perform the action
-3. Take a screenshot showing the result
-4. Use `snapshot -D` to show what changed
-5. Write repro steps referencing screenshots
+**If WTF > 20%:** STOP immediately. Show the user what you've done so far. Ask whether to continue.
 
-```bash
-$B screenshot "$REPORT_DIR/screenshots/issue-001-step-1.png"
-$B click @e5
-$B screenshot "$REPORT_DIR/screenshots/issue-001-result.png"
-$B snapshot -D
-```
+**Hard cap: 50 fixes.** After 50 fixes, stop regardless of remaining issues.
 
-**Static bugs** (typos, layout issues, missing images):
-1. Take a single annotated screenshot showing the problem
-2. Describe what's wrong
+---
 
-```bash
-$B snapshot -i -a -o "$REPORT_DIR/screenshots/issue-002.png"
-```
+## Phase 9: Final QA
 
-**Write each issue to the report immediately** using the template format from `qa/templates/qa-report-template.md`.
-
-### Phase 6: Wrap Up
-
-1. **Compute health score** using the rubric below
-2. **Write "Top 3 Things to Fix"** — the 3 highest-severity issues
-3. **Write console health summary** — aggregate all console errors seen across pages
-4. **Update severity counts** in the summary table
-5. **Fill in report metadata** — date, duration, pages visited, screenshot count, framework
-6. **Save baseline** — write `baseline.json` with:
-   ```json
-   {
-     "date": "YYYY-MM-DD",
-     "url": "<target>",
-     "healthScore": N,
-     "issues": [{ "id": "ISSUE-001", "title": "...", "severity": "...", "category": "..." }],
-     "categoryScores": { "console": N, "links": N, ... }
-   }
-   ```
+After all fixes are applied:
 
-**Regression mode:** After writing the report, load the baseline file. Compare:
-- Health score delta
-- Issues fixed (in baseline but not current)
-- New issues (in current but not baseline)
-- Append the regression section to the report
+1. Re-run QA on all affected pages
+2. Compute final health score
+3. **If final score is WORSE than baseline:** WARN prominently — something regressed
 
 ---
 
-## Health Score Rubric
-
-Compute each category score (0-100), then take the weighted average.
-
-### Console (weight: 15%)
-- 0 errors → 100
-- 1-3 errors → 70
-- 4-10 errors → 40
-- 10+ errors → 10
-
-### Links (weight: 10%)
-- 0 broken → 100
-- Each broken link → -15 (minimum 0)
-
-### Per-Category Scoring (Visual, Functional, UX, Content, Performance, Accessibility)
-Each category starts at 100. Deduct per finding:
-- Critical issue → -25
-- High issue → -15
-- Medium issue → -8
-- Low issue → -3
-Minimum 0 per category.
-
-### Weights
-| Category | Weight |
-|----------|--------|
-| Console | 15% |
-| Links | 10% |
-| Visual | 10% |
-| Functional | 20% |
-| UX | 15% |
-| Performance | 10% |
-| Content | 5% |
-| Accessibility | 15% |
-
-### Final Score
-`score = Σ (category_score × weight)`
+## Phase 10: Report
 
----
+Write the report to both local and project-scoped locations:
 
-## Framework-Specific Guidance
+**Local:** `.gstack/qa-reports/qa-report-{domain}-{YYYY-MM-DD}.md`
 
-### Next.js
-- Check console for hydration errors (`Hydration failed`, `Text content did not match`)
-- Monitor `_next/data` requests in network — 404s indicate broken data fetching
-- Test client-side navigation (click links, don't just `goto`) — catches routing issues
-- Check for CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift) on pages with dynamic content
+**Project-scoped:** Write test outcome artifact for cross-session context:
+```bash
+SLUG=$(git remote get-url origin 2>/dev/null | sed 's|.*[:/]\([^/]*/[^/]*\)\.git$|\1|;s|.*[:/]\([^/]*/[^/]*\)$|\1|' | tr '/' '-')
+mkdir -p ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG
+```
+Write to `~/.gstack/projects/{slug}/{user}-{branch}-test-outcome-{datetime}.md`
 
-### Rails
-- Check for N+1 query warnings in console (if development mode)
-- Verify CSRF token presence in forms
-- Test Turbo/Stimulus integration — do page transitions work smoothly?
-- Check for flash messages appearing and dismissing correctly
+**Per-issue additions** (beyond standard report template):
+- Fix Status: verified / best-effort / reverted / deferred
+- Commit SHA (if fixed)
+- Files Changed (if fixed)
+- Before/After screenshots (if fixed)
 
-### WordPress
-- Check for plugin conflicts (JS errors from different plugins)
-- Verify admin bar visibility for logged-in users
-- Test REST API endpoints (`/wp-json/`)
-- Check for mixed content warnings (common with WP)
+**Summary section:**
+- Total issues found
+- Fixes applied (verified: X, best-effort: Y, reverted: Z)
+- Deferred issues
+- Health score delta: baseline → final
 
-### General SPA (React, Vue, Angular)
-- Use `snapshot -i` for navigation — `links` command misses client-side routes
-- Check for stale state (navigate away and back — does data refresh?)
-- Test browser back/forward — does the app handle history correctly?
-- Check for memory leaks (monitor console after extended use)
+**PR Summary:** Include a one-line summary suitable for PR descriptions:
+> "QA found N issues, fixed M, health score X → Y."
 
 ---
 
-## Important Rules
+## Phase 11: TODOS.md Update
 
-1. **Repro is everything.** Every issue needs at least one screenshot. No exceptions.
-2. **Verify before documenting.** Retry the issue once to confirm it's reproducible, not a fluke.
-3. **Never include credentials.** Write `[REDACTED]` for passwords in repro steps.
-4. **Write incrementally.** Append each issue to the report as you find it. Don't batch.
-5. **Never read source code.** Test as a user, not a developer.
-6. **Check console after every interaction.** JS errors that don't surface visually are still bugs.
-7. **Test like a user.** Use realistic data. Walk through complete workflows end-to-end.
-8. **Depth over breadth.** 5-10 well-documented issues with evidence > 20 vague descriptions.
-9. **Never delete output files.** Screenshots and reports accumulate — that's intentional.
-10. **Use `snapshot -C` for tricky UIs.** Finds clickable divs that the accessibility tree misses.
+If the repo has a `TODOS.md`:
 
----
+1. **New deferred bugs** → add as TODOs with severity, category, and repro steps
+2. **Fixed bugs that were in TODOS.md** → annotate with "Fixed by /qa on {branch}, {date}"

+## Additional Rules (qa-specific)
 
-Report filenames use the domain and date: `qa-report-myapp-com-2026-03-12.md`
+11. **Clean working tree required.** Refuse to start if `git status --porcelain` is non-empty.
+12. **One commit per fix.** Never bundle multiple fixes into one commit.
+13. **Never modify tests or CI configuration.** Only fix application source code.
+14. **Revert on regression.** If a fix makes things worse, `git revert HEAD` immediately.
+15. **Self-regulate.** Follow the WTF-likelihood heuristic. When in doubt, stop and ask.

+
+### Diff-aware (automatic when on a feature branch with no URL)
+
+This is the **primary mode** for developers verifying their work. When the user says \`/qa\` without a URL and the repo is on a feature branch, automatically:
+
+1. **Analyze the branch diff** to understand what changed:
+   \`\`\`bash
+   git diff main...HEAD --name-only
+   git log main..HEAD --oneline
+   \`\`\`
+
+2. **Identify affected pages/routes** from the changed files:
+   - Controller/route files → which URL paths they serve
+   - View/template/component files → which pages render them
+   - Model/service files → which pages use those models (check controllers that reference them)
+   - CSS/style files → which pages include those stylesheets
+   - API endpoints → test them directly with \`$B js "await fetch('/api/...')"\`
+   - Static pages (markdown, HTML) → navigate to them directly
+
+3. **Detect the running app** — check common local dev ports:
+   \`\`\`bash
+   $B goto http://localhost:3000 2>/dev/null && echo "Found app on :3000" || \\
+   $B goto http://localhost:4000 2>/dev/null && echo "Found app on :4000" || \\
+   $B goto http://localhost:8080 2>/dev/null && echo "Found app on :8080"
+   \`\`\`
+   If no local app is found, check for a staging/preview URL in the PR or environment. If nothing works, ask the user for the URL.
+
+4. **Test each affected page/route:**
+   - Navigate to the page
+   - Take a screenshot
+   - Check console for errors
+   - If the change was interactive (forms, buttons, flows), test the interaction end-to-end
+   - Use \`snapshot -D\` before and after actions to verify the change had the expected effect
+
+5. **Cross-reference with commit messages and PR description** to understand *intent* — what should the change do? Verify it actually does that.
+
+6. **Check TODOS.md** (if it exists) for known bugs or issues related to the changed files. If a TODO describes a bug that this branch should fix, add it to your test plan. If you find a new bug during QA that isn't in TODOS.md, note it in the report.
+
+7. **Report findings** scoped to the branch changes:
+   - "Changes tested: N pages/routes affected by this branch"
+   - For each: does it work? Screenshot evidence.
+   - Any regressions on adjacent pages?
+
+**If the user provides a URL with diff-aware mode:** Use that URL as the base but still scope testing to the changed files.
+
+### Full (default when URL is provided)
+Systematic exploration. Visit every reachable page. Document 5-10 well-evidenced issues. Produce health score. Takes 5-15 minutes depending on app size.
+
+### Quick (\`--quick\`)
+30-second smoke test. Visit homepage + top 5 navigation targets. Check: page loads? Console errors? Broken links? Produce health score. No detailed issue documentation.
+
+### Regression (\`--regression <baseline>\`)
+Run full mode, then load \`baseline.json\` from a previous run. Diff: which issues are fixed? Which are new? What's the score delta? Append regression section to report.

+## Workflow
+
+### Phase 1: Initialize
+
+1. Find browse binary (see Setup above)
+2. Create output directories
+3. Copy report template from \`qa/templates/qa-report-template.md\` to output dir
+4. Start timer for duration tracking
+
+### Phase 2: Authenticate (if needed)
+
+**If the user specified auth credentials:**
+
+\`\`\`bash
+$B goto <login-url>
+$B snapshot -i                    # find the login form
+$B fill @e3 "user@example.com"
+$B fill @e4 "[REDACTED]"         # NEVER include real passwords in report
+$B click @e5                      # submit
+$B snapshot -D                    # verify login succeeded
+\`\`\`
+
+**If the user provided a cookie file:**
+
+\`\`\`bash
+$B cookie-import cookies.json
+$B goto <target-url>
+\`\`\`
+
+**If 2FA/OTP is required:** Ask the user for the code and wait.
+
+**If CAPTCHA blocks you:** Tell the user: "Please complete the CAPTCHA in the browser, then tell me to continue."
+
+### Phase 3: Orient
+
+Get a map of the application:
+
+\`\`\`bash
+$B goto <target-url>
+$B snapshot -i -a -o "$REPORT_DIR/screenshots/initial.png"
+$B links                          # map navigation structure
+$B console --errors               # any errors on landing?
+\`\`\`
+
+**Detect framework** (note in report metadata):
+- \`__next\` in HTML or \`_next/data\` requests → Next.js
+- \`csrf-token\` meta tag → Rails
+- \`wp-content\` in URLs → WordPress
+- Client-side routing with no page reloads → SPA
+
+**For SPAs:** The \`links\` command may return few results because navigation is client-side. Use \`snapshot -i\` to find nav elements (buttons, menu items) instead.
+
+### Phase 4: Explore
+
+Visit pages systematically. At each page:
+
+\`\`\`bash
+$B goto <page-url>
+$B snapshot -i -a -o "$REPORT_DIR/screenshots/page-name.png"
+$B console --errors
+\`\`\`
+
+Then follow the **per-page exploration checklist** (see \`qa/references/issue-taxonomy.md\`):
+
+1. **Visual scan** — Look at the annotated screenshot for layout issues
+2. **Interactive elements** — Click buttons, links, controls. Do they work?
+3. **Forms** — Fill and submit. Test empty, invalid, edge cases
+4. **Navigation** — Check all paths in and out
+5. **States** — Empty state, loading, error, overflow
+6. **Console** — Any new JS errors after interactions?
+7. **Responsiveness** — Check mobile viewport if relevant:
+   \`\`\`bash
+   $B viewport 375x812
+   $B screenshot "$REPORT_DIR/screenshots/page-mobile.png"
+   $B viewport 1280x720
+   \`\`\`
+
+**Depth judgment:** Spend more time on core features (homepage, dashboard, checkout, search) and less on secondary pages (about, terms, privacy).
+
+**Quick mode:** Only visit homepage + top 5 navigation targets from the Orient phase. Skip the per-page checklist — just check: loads? Console errors? Broken links visible?
+
+### Phase 5: Document
+
+Document each issue **immediately when found** — don't batch them.
+
+**Two evidence tiers:**
+
+**Interactive bugs** (broken flows, dead buttons, form failures):
+1. Take a screenshot before the action
+2. Perform the action
+3. Take a screenshot showing the result
+4. Use \`snapshot -D\` to show what changed
+5. Write repro steps referencing screenshots
+
+\`\`\`bash
+$B screenshot "$REPORT_DIR/screenshots/issue-001-step-1.png"
+$B click @e5
+$B screenshot "$REPORT_DIR/screenshots/issue-001-result.png"
+$B snapshot -D
+\`\`\`
+
+**Static bugs** (typos, layout issues, missing images):
+1. Take a single annotated screenshot showing the problem
+2. Describe what's wrong
+
+\`\`\`bash
+$B snapshot -i -a -o "$REPORT_DIR/screenshots/issue-002.png"
+\`\`\`
+
+**Write each issue to the report immediately** using the template format from \`qa/templates/qa-report-template.md\`.
+
+### Phase 6: Wrap Up
+
+1. **Compute health score** using the rubric below
+2. **Write "Top 3 Things to Fix"** — the 3 highest-severity issues
+3. **Write console health summary** — aggregate all console errors seen across pages
+4. **Update severity counts** in the summary table
+5. **Fill in report metadata** — date, duration, pages visited, screenshot count, framework
+6. **Save baseline** — write \`baseline.json\` with:
+   \`\`\`json
+   {
+     "date": "YYYY-MM-DD",
+     "url": "<target>",
+     "healthScore": N,
+     "issues": [{ "id": "ISSUE-001", "title": "...", "severity": "...", "category": "..." }],
+     "categoryScores": { "console": N, "links": N, ... }
+   }
+   \`\`\`
+
+**Regression mode:** After writing the report, load the baseline file. Compare:
+- Health score delta
+- Issues fixed (in baseline but not current)
+- New issues (in current but not baseline)
+- Append the regression section to the report
+
+---
+
+## Health Score Rubric
+
+Compute each category score (0-100), then take the weighted average.
+
+### Console (weight: 15%)
+- 0 errors → 100
+- 1-3 errors → 70
+- 4-10 errors → 40
+- 10+ errors → 10
+
+### Links (weight: 10%)
+- 0 broken → 100
+- Each broken link → -15 (minimum 0)
+
+### Per-Category Scoring (Visual, Functional, UX, Content, Performance, Accessibility)
+Each category starts at 100. Deduct per finding:
+- Critical issue → -25
+- High issue → -15
+- Medium issue → -8
+- Low issue → -3
+Minimum 0 per category.
+
+### Weights
+| Category | Weight |
+|----------|--------|
+| Console | 15% |
+| Links | 10% |
+| Visual | 10% |
+| Functional | 20% |
+| UX | 15% |
+| Performance | 10% |
+| Content | 5% |
+| Accessibility | 15% |
+
+### Final Score
+\`score = Σ (category_score × weight)\`
+
+---
+
+## Framework-Specific Guidance
+
+### Next.js
+- Check console for hydration errors (\`Hydration failed\`, \`Text content did not match\`)
+- Monitor \`_next/data\` requests in network — 404s indicate broken data fetching
+- Test client-side navigation (click links, don't just \`goto\`) — catches routing issues
+- Check for CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift) on pages with dynamic content
+
+### Rails
+- Check for N+1 query warnings in console (if development mode)
+- Verify CSRF token presence in forms
+- Test Turbo/Stimulus integration — do page transitions work smoothly?
+- Check for flash messages appearing and dismissing correctly
+
+### WordPress
+- Check for plugin conflicts (JS errors from different plugins)
+- Verify admin bar visibility for logged-in users
+- Test REST API endpoints (\`/wp-json/\`)
+- Check for mixed content warnings (common with WP)
+
+### General SPA (React, Vue, Angular)
+- Use \`snapshot -i\` for navigation — \`links\` command misses client-side routes
+- Check for stale state (navigate away and back — does data refresh?)
+- Test browser back/forward — does the app handle history correctly?
+- Check for memory leaks (monitor console after extended use)
+
+---
+
+## Important Rules
+
+1. **Repro is everything.** Every issue needs at least one screenshot. No exceptions.
+2. **Verify before documenting.** Retry the issue once to confirm it's reproducible, not a fluke.
+3. **Never include credentials.** Write \`[REDACTED]\` for passwords in repro steps.
+4. **Write incrementally.** Append each issue to the report as you find it. Don't batch.
+5. **Never read source code.** Test as a user, not a developer.
+6. **Check console after every interaction.** JS errors that don't surface visually are still bugs.
+7. **Test like a user.** Use realistic data. Walk through complete workflows end-to-end.
+8. **Depth over breadth.** 5-10 well-documented issues with evidence > 20 vague descriptions.
+9. **Never delete output files.** Screenshots and reports accumulate — that's intentional.
+10. **Use \`snapshot -C\` for tricky UIs.** Finds clickable divs that the accessibility tree misses.`;
