+description: Audit REA CI and test suites for correctness, fixture drift, false passes, and measured performance; use for suite or workflow investigations and efficiency changes, rather than ordinary feature testing or a single test failure.
+---
+
+# REA CI and tests audit
+
+Establish which checks still catch real regressions and which costs can be
+removed without losing that protection. The outcome may be a verified fix,
+an evidence-backed recommendation, or an explicit decision to stop.
+
+Follow the checkout's `AGENTS.md`, [testing guide](../../../docs/development/testing.md),
+and [contribution rules](../../../CONTRIBUTING.md). Use their current commands
+and pinned toolchain, rather than commands remembered from an earlier audit.
+Preserve the requested scope: investigation alone does not authorize edits;
+this skill does not grant permission to publish issues, push, or merge. Existing
+user authorization still applies. Keep audit notes and raw results outside the
+tracked tree, normally in a task-specific `/tmp` directory.
+
+## Establish the executed baseline
+
+Fetch when the user asks for latest main. Pin the baseline SHA and inspected
+workflow revision; use an isolated worktree when changing or comparing code.
+Do not modify another task's checkout. Record dirty changes and the exact
+command, toolchain, host, selected tests, instrumentation, and prerequisites.
+An old run is evidence for its executed revision, even if main advances.
+
+Trace workflow triggers, changed-path selection, job dependencies, reusable
+actions, package scripts, test discovery, artifact producers, and report gates
+through to the commands that actually execute. Include scripts, generated data,
+runtime registration, and subprocess boundaries missing from import graphs.
+Check positive and negative selection paths: required files must be discovered
+once per intended test configuration; deliberate platform/configuration repeats
+are separate coverage. A missing explicit test or missing required report must
+not turn green. Optional lanes may skip; preserve their stated prerequisites.
+
+Use existing timing and failure artifacts to select suspicious families. Run
+relevant checks to establish a baseline; reserve a full local suite for broad
+CI diagnosis or uncertainty that focused checks cannot resolve. Do not rebuild
+or rerun an unchanged complete suite after every documentation edit.
+
+## Prove the failure or protection
+
+For each candidate, state the expected observable behavior and its owner,
+then construct the smallest reproduction against production behavior. Follow
+the producer and affected consumers before deciding where to fix it.
+
+- For drift, compare fixtures with current admission requirements, protocol
+  replies, named contracts, tool versions, and actual public entrypoints. A
+  plausible-looking mock can fail before the behavior its test claims to cover.
+  Search the whole affected fixture family, including other version strings.
+  Preserve intentionally malformed fixtures and test their intended rejection.
+- For a suspicious green test, perturb the relevant behavior in an isolated
+  copy or inject a controlled failure. Verify that the existing assertion or
+  gate detects it. A test may merely repeat its mock, import abandoned code,
+  or hide a subprocess/checker failure. Restore mutations after the experiment.
+- For shared setup or pruning, map distinct assertions to their retained
+  scenarios. Preserve malformed inputs, cancellation, cleanup failure,
+  permissions, capacity, identity, and meaningful concurrency interactions.
+  A faster run that skips a case or weakens its oracle is not an improvement.
+- For provider coverage, separate fake-producer, boundary, and actual-engine
+  evidence. Inspect named skips and prerequisites; fixtures do not establish
+  real Ghidra, LLDB, browser, or other provider behavior.
+
+Classify findings as reproduced defects, supported costs, hypotheses, or
+unavailable evidence. Record the baseline command, observed output/exit status,
+expected result, affected scope, and competing explanation. A failure on main
+may be pre-existing; that does not by itself make it irrelevant to a CI audit.
+Attribute PR failures using the executed revision and a clean baseline, not
+just their resemblance to a previous failure. Retry only to test a specific
+transient explanation; retain the original failure and stop when repetition
+adds no evidence. A passing retry does not establish a root cause or a fix.
+
+## Assess efficiency without losing the gate
+
+Read [measurement and CI checks](references/measurement-and-ci.md) when
+investigating slowness, caching, runner waits, shared artifacts, or log noise.
+Compare equivalent completed work before claiming a speedup. Distinguish
+setup/build time, test execution, coverage instrumentation, dependency waits,
+and runner scheduling; state which costs remain unmeasured.
+
+Prefer removing proven duplicate preparation, reusing immutable setup, and
+reducing repeated subprocess work before shrinking correctness coverage.
+Preserve independent sessions where lifecycle or concurrency is the oracle.
+Keep live tests fresh; a cached previous pass cannot validate current host,
+installed provider contents, permissions, or external state.
+
+## Fix, verify, and hand off within scope
+
+If implementation is authorized, make the smallest structural change at the
+owning boundary and add a regression that fails on the baseline for the right
+reason. Retest affected consumers and meaningful negative paths; verify cache
+invalidation or discovery when those mechanisms change. Read the installed
+Turbo documentation before changing its configuration or commands.
+
+Run the repository's applicable checks and inspect complete current-head CI
+results before an authorized merge. Preserve required coverage and discovery
+gates. Do not suppress a failure, add blanket retries, raise timeouts, or delete
+distinct assertions solely to make CI green. Changes to these controls need
+their own demonstrated reason and retained failure detection.
+
+Report each confirmed issue with exact revision, reproduction, consequence,
+proposed correction, and validation limits. Report performance with workload
+and measurements, not just a percentage. Use English issue/PR records when
+requested; follow the user's assignment, commit identity, review, and merge
+preferences without assuming them for other users. Open ready-for-review PRs
+only when that lifecycle is authorized. Resolve necessary review findings and
+check final main against the tested tree after merging.
+
+Stop when the authorized work is verified, remaining benefits are unproven,
+or further changes would trade correctness for speculative speed. List genuine
+uncertainties without turning them into additional optimization rounds.

+# Measurement and CI checks
+
+## Equivalent completed work
+
+Record the source/workflow SHA, command, test identities and counts, skips,
+assertions or output contract, exit status, coverage scope and thresholds,
+toolchain/provider versions, host resources, and prepared artifacts. Inspect
+both the child result and its report: a profiling wrapper may exit successfully
+after the measured command failed. Focused tests can pass while global coverage
+thresholds fail; describe both rather than calling the command green.
+
+Measure wall time, user/system CPU, and peak process-family memory for relevant
+completed tasks. Parent-only RSS misses workers and their children. On Linux,
+summed RSS can double-count shared pages; report RSS/PSS semantics, sampling
+interval, missing samples, and observed cleanup limits. Use equivalent host
+tools elsewhere. State unknown costs, including agent tokens; fewer log bytes
+alone prove neither fewer tokens nor faster tests.
+
+Separate cold execution, warm build/file caches, and warm runtime caches.
+Use repeated or alternating runs when variance affects the decision, with
+enough observations to distinguish the proposed benefit from noise. Keep
+workload, instrumentation, and host conditions comparable; record interference.
+A run with fewer tests, early rejection, lost coverage, or a different runner
+does not prove suite acceleration. CI-wide claims need end-to-end measurements,
+not an extrapolation from one improved family.
+
+## Workflow, caches, and shared artifacts
+
+Trace each reused result from producer to consumers and identify its lifetime.
+Check key/input coverage against the actual file inventory and result-affecting
+configuration, environment, generated data, tool versions, and host state.
+Exercise an affected input change to prove invalidation; exercise an irrelevant
+change to support reuse where useful. Cache deterministic preparation and
+static analysis only when their inputs fully describe the result.
+
+Verify downloaded artifacts match the expected revision, platform, runtime,
+and schema. Check restore misses, failed/partial producers, stale reports,
+removed output files, and consumers after producer failures. Shared writers
+need output ownership or locks; tests need isolated state, not an unnecessary
+global lock. Worker counts do not bound children spawned within each test.
+Preserve intentionally concurrent scenarios while bounding unrelated batches.
+
+Check matrix expansion and all job pages before saying CI passed. Inspect
+required gates after failed, cancelled, and skipped dependencies. `always()`
+alone does not preserve failures; inspect the aggregation logic. Test/report
+uploads should retain available diagnostics after failure, while absent or
+malformed required results must fail closed. Do not demand an optional report
+from a lane intentionally excluded by the selector.
+
+## Runner waits and console noise
+
+Use per-job and per-step timestamps where available. Workflow creation to job
+start includes dependencies and other delays; it is not necessarily runner
+queue time. Identify when the job became eligible before attributing waits to
+runner capacity. If eligibility/queue timestamps are unavailable, report the
+combined delay and unknown split. Compare equivalent lanes and runner types
+across enough runs; a single busy runner is not a workflow regression.
+
+For console reductions, retain checker exit codes, actionable errors, useful
+summary counts, and complete machine-readable artifacts. Verify authored code
+remains in the actual checker inventory when excluding generated outputs.
+Introduce an authored error as a control; it must still fail. An ignore pattern
+can hide real source as well as noise. Show that cached reports are restored,
+stale successful reports cannot mask current failures, and report parse errors
+remain failures. Measure readability or byte reduction separately from runtime.

+## Performance

+Optimize in this order:
+
+1. Agent tokens and context. Return the smallest sufficient answer with
+   necessary provenance, coverage and limitations. Use task selection,
+   summaries, paging and retained Evidence where supported; honor requested
+   detail and keep complete Evidence accessible. Count the whole task,
+   including schemas, extra calls and retries.
+2. Analysis time. Reuse validated results and shared work. Cache keys must
+   cover result-affecting inputs; define invalidation and lifetime. Validate
+   freshness before reporting cached live state as current.
+3. CPU and memory. Avoid unnecessary work and copies; bound concurrency,
+   retained state and serialization growth.
+
+For changes affecting these costs, measure representative completed tasks and
+compare equivalent workflows before and after where available. Report token
+usage, elapsed time, CPU time and peak process-family memory. Separate cold
+and warm runs, label estimates, and state unmeasured costs. Fewer bytes alone
+do not establish fewer tokens or faster analysis.

+## Contribution scope
+
+REA focuses on software structure, runtime behavior, and evidence through
+general-purpose reverse-engineering workflows. Evaluate a proposal by its actual
+capabilities, side effects, defaults, and complete workflow. A tool name or a
+reference to vulnerability research, malware analysis, or CTFs does not determine
+whether it belongs in REA.
+
+Supported contributions include format inspection, ordinary archive and standard
+compression extraction, disassembly, decompilation, cross-references, general
+static deobfuscation, vulnerability analysis, and evidence reporting. Static
+protection detection is distinct from defeating that protection. Security fixes
+and isolated regression tests remain in scope.
+
+Runtime investigation needs explicit boundaries. Launching or attaching to a
+process, injecting instrumentation, running scripts, and changing memory or
+registers require review of target selection, execution and mutation authority,
+provenance, resource limits, cancellation, and cleanup. General Frida or debugger
+support is not inherently read-only, and existing support does not authorize
+every workflow built on it. General-purpose interfaces are not classified as
+dedicated bypass workflows solely because caller-provided code could be misused;
+their execution and mutation authority must still be reviewed.
+
+REA does not integrate or officially distribute:
+
+- Purpose-built workflows to defeat commercial packing or code-virtualization
+  protections and automatically recover protected code.
+- Anti-debugging or anti-instrumentation evasion, or DRM, license, anti-cheat, or
+  access-control bypass workflows.
+- Exploit or attack-payload automation, credential theft, covert persistence,
+  unauthorized access, or bulk attack workflows.
+
+These boundaries apply to first-party providers, adapters, plugins, bundled
+scripts, defaults, examples, and documentation. Moving a capability into an
+optional dependency or plugin does not exempt it. Review what the integration
+exposes, including upstream defaults and raw-command or script execution paths.
+Ordinary extraction and general static deobfuscation are not excluded merely
+because the input is packed or obfuscated; assess added bypass or execution
+behavior separately.
+
+This is a product and maintenance boundary, not a judgment about a contributor's
+intentions or a declaration that all excluded research is unlawful. Contributors
+must have the rights and authorization needed for their work. A local-only design
+or an "authorized use only" disclaimer does not establish containment or settle
+legal and scope questions.
+
+### Fail-closed integration
+
+If scope fit, target or authorization boundaries, side effects, or the verification
+needed to establish those boundaries remain materially unresolved, **do not merge,
+enable, or include the capability in official packages or distributions**. Keep
+the proposal pending, narrow it, or decline it. Record unknowns explicitly; do not
+turn them into "none" or assumed safety. Passing CI, completed implementation,
+upstream popularity, or silence from maintainers is not scope approval.
+
+For a new provider or a capability involving target execution, injection,
+mutation, or protection recovery, seek an explicit maintainer scope decision in
+the linked issue or design discussion before substantial implementation intended
+for integration. Small exploratory prototypes and draft PRs may help inform that
+decision; they do not authorize integration. The decision must cover the final
+proposed behavior; a scope expansion needs a new decision. Routine fixes and
+documentation changes within existing boundaries do not need a separate advance
+decision, but must not silently expand those boundaries.
+
+### Starting a proposal
+
+To open a feature request or design discussion, describe the problem and desired
+outcome or decision. Short answers and the forms' "Not sure yet" options are
+welcome. You do not need code, a complete design or test plan, legal analysis, or
+private proof-of-authorization documents to start a discussion. Share what you
+know and leave optional details blank when you need help.
+
+Form selections guide triage; they are not proof of authorization or scope
+approval. Unselected effects must not be treated as established absence.
+Maintainers and implementers work together to resolve the following before
+integration:
+
+- The concrete analyst question, requested inputs and outputs, and why existing
+  REA operations are insufficient.
+- Why the workflow fits this scope, its non-goals, and any protection recovery,
+  bypass, or attack automation it would expose.
+- The selected targets and every execution, injection, mutation, network, or
+  persistence effect, including behavior inherited from upstream tools.
+- How the boundaries and outcome will be verified with self-owned or appropriately
+  licensed samples; identify real CLI/MCP and provider coverage, cleanup and
+  resource checks, and remaining unknowns. Do not publish private binaries,
+  credentials, or sensitive target data; follow [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md) for
+  private vulnerability reports.
+
+Mixed proposals should separate acceptable analysis capabilities from excluded
+workflows so each can be decided independently. An issue may discuss unresolved
+questions; opening an issue or PR does not authorize integration. This is a
+maintainer integration gate, not a per-call confirmation requirement or a sandbox
+guarantee.

+
+Use meaningful, lowercase domain and feature slugs. Global numeric prefixes are
+unnecessary: different domains can add features independently, and branches do
+not compete for the next sequence number. Check the existing domain directory
+and linked issues before creating a feature with the same slug.
+
+Guides describe existing behavior and limitations. Specs define one proposed
+feature or domain change; an existing guide does not become a specification by
+moving it into `specs/`.
+
+## Feature lifecycle
+
+Create the specification before implementation. Each feature directory contains:
+
+- `spec.md`: problem, desired behavior, requirements, acceptance and non-goals.
+- `plan.md`: the single implementation plan, contracts and architectural choices.
+- `tasks.md`: incremental, testable steps linked to requirements and verification.
+
+Split independent domains or separately reviewable features before writing their
+specs. A broad `ROADMAP.md`, when useful, only lists child specifications, order
+and dependencies; requirements and implementation tasks belong to each child.
+Cross-repository contracts have one producer-owned specification. Consumers link
+to that contract instead of maintaining competing copies.
+
+Record an isolated architectural decision separately in
+`docs/adr/<domain>/<decision-slug>.md`, with **Status**, **Context**,
+**Decision** and **Consequences**. Link the ADR from affected specifications.
+Do not create decision records for routine file moves or invent past decisions.
+
+Specs do not replace the contribution-scope decision required for a new provider
+or expanded execution authority. Follow
+[contribution scope](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#contribution-scope).
+
+## Links and public routes
+
+Use relative links to physical Markdown files so GitHub readers can follow them.
+Link repository files outside `docs/` with their full GitHub URLs. Preserve
+existing heading anchors when moving a guide.
+
+[`documentation.ts`](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/.vitepress/documentation.ts)
+owns categorized site navigation and the existing guides' stable public routes.
+Update it when adding or moving a guide. VitePress rewrites categorized sources
+to the existing public paths; its Markdown hook resolves repository links from
+the physical source and renders them against those public routes. Keep basenames
+and route assignments unique. Edit links use the physical source file.
+
+For a move, search for both the basename and its old full path. Update README
+translations, authored skills, verification instructions, documentation-fact
+readers and release configuration when they consume that path. Preserve
+historical release records and references bound to earlier commits or tags.
+
+## Generated ownership and checks
+
+The [documentation directory](../README.md#machine-owned-documentation) identifies
+the machine-owned outputs and their producers. Their existing paths are retained
+because scripts, package consumers and release history depend on them. Change
+canonical sources and regenerate; do not fix a generated projection by hand.
+
+Run `npm run docs:check` for documentation facts and generated consistency, and
+`npm run verify:docs:routes` to build the complete production site and check local
+links, anchors and physical edit targets.
+When a physical path moves, also run the tests that read it. Follow
+[development checks](testing.md#developer-commands) before requesting review.

+- Without Claude Desktop's MSIX package storage, setup uses

+  the package-private copy
+  `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Claude_pzs8sxrjxfjjc\LocalCache\Roaming\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
+  and ignores the `%APPDATA%` file. Setup, doctor and uninstall use that
+  private copy when it exists. Before the package has saved one, they use the
+  `%APPDATA%` file it still reads; with neither file, setup creates the
+  private copy.
+- If `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages` holds a `Claude_<publisher ID>` package from
+  another publisher, or cannot be read, REA cannot establish which file Claude
+  Desktop reads. Setup, doctor and uninstall report that instead of falling
+  back to `%APPDATA%`. Doctor then reports `claude_desktop` as invalid, and
+  uninstall stops before removing anything for any client.
+
+Quit Claude Desktop fully before approving setup; closing its window is not
+enough. A running Claude Desktop can rewrite its configuration from memory and
+drop the registration. This was observed with the Windows MSIX build. Start
+Claude Desktop again after setup. If the package saves its private copy after
+setup planned to write the `%APPDATA%` file, setup makes no change and asks you
+to rerun it.
+
+A process that the MSIX app started, such as a terminal in Claude Desktop's
+Code tab, sees the package's private files at their `%APPDATA%` paths even
+though it reports no package identity. Setup compares one of those files at
+both paths. When it finds that redirected view, the app is running, so setup
+and uninstall refuse to change Claude Desktop's configuration; rerun them from
+a terminal that Claude Desktop did not start. If the package has no private
+file to compare, setup and uninstall cannot rule that out and also refuse; open
+Claude Desktop once if it has never run, quit it fully, then rerun. Doctor
+reads the same file from either kind of process.
+
+The same process also writes everything under `%APPDATA%` and
+`%LOCALAPPDATA%` into the package's private storage, where other apps never
+read it. From that redirected view, setup and uninstall refuse to change other
+clients' files there (VS Code, Trae, Devin and Hermes) and skill directories
+there. `npm install -g` run from such a process installs into the package's
+`LocalCache\Roaming\npm`, which other processes cannot see at the `%APPDATA%`
+path. Setup refuses to register a launcher stored in any MSIX package's
+private storage. Install REA from an ordinary terminal and rerun setup there.
+
+Uninstall removes REA's entry from both the private copy and the `%APPDATA%`
+file, including registrations that earlier releases wrote to `%APPDATA%`.
+
+REA recognizes only the MSIX package. A non-MSIX Claude Desktop installed
+beside it, which would read the `%APPDATA%` file, is not detected.
+
+The package identity, both file locations, the redirected view, and these
+setup and doctor results were observed on Windows 11 with the MSIX build
+2.31226.1.0, using read-only `doctor` and `setup --dry-run` runs both inside
+and outside the app. On that host, setup run from an ordinary terminal with
+the app quit wrote the package-private copy; after the app restarted, the

+`inspect_packet_capture` answers which selected protocol fields TShark observes

+and Windows, are refused before inspection because this integration requires
+an enforced address-space limit:

+rea inspect-packet-capture /artifacts/device.pcapng \
+  --fields ip.addr --fields udp.port --fields data.data \

+
+The corresponding MCP call is:

+```json
+{
+  "name": "inspect_packet_capture",
+  "arguments": {
+    "path": "/artifacts/device.pcapng",
+    "fields": ["ip.addr", "udp.port", "data.data"],
+    "display_filter": "udp"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`frame.number` is always included. Repeated values are ordered string arrays,
+for example `"ip.addr": ["192.0.2.1", "192.0.2.2"]`. Missing fields remain
+absent; they are not converted to zero or empty arrays. Export-only index/score
+metadata is discarded. No payload bytes are automatically added; select a
+supported byte field such as `data.data` or `@data` when needed.
+
+Selectors are limited before argv expansion: at most 1,024 fields and 1,024
+`decode_as` rules, 8,192 UTF-16 code units per selector, and 32 KiB total encoded
+selector arguments (UTF-8 text, terminators, option names and argv pointers).
+This leaves headroom below Linux's [execve argument/environment limits](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/execve.2.html);
+an unusually large inherited environment can still prevent launching.
+
+Output is paged after filtering: `match_limit` defaults to 50 and `match_offset`
+to 0. The result retains original frame numbers and reports `output_window`
+with the matching count within the input read scope, returned count and
+`has_more`. Request later pages with the offset, or explicit `match_limit: null`
+(CLI `--all_matches`) for all remaining matches. Paging does not shorten
+input reading or change two-pass reassembly. Producer output must still fit its
+resource limit; use selected fields, a display filter or an input-packet limit
+when dissection output is too large. Each call checks the recording's current
+digest, so pages from different source digests must not be combined.
+
+Additional selections:
+
+- `display_filter`: Wireshark display-filter syntax; omitted means no filter.
+- `decode_as`: explicit dissector overrides, such as `["udp.port==5555,dns"]`.
+  Repeat `--decode_as` in the CLI for multiple overrides.
+- `packet_limit`: optional maximum **input packets read before filtering**.
+  A limit of 1 can therefore yield zero matching packets even when later frames
+  match. Omitted means read to EOF within resource limits. The report records
+  `to-eof` or `up-to-input-packet-limit`, never inferring total capture size from
+  the returned packet count.
+- `two_pass`: defaults to true for fields that need later packets and reassembly
+  dependencies. MCP may set false; CLI uses `--no-two_pass` for a single pass.
+
+See the [TShark manual](https://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-pages/tshark.html)
+for field names, display filters, decode-as syntax and pass semantics. Invalid
+fields or filters return producer diagnostics. An empty result does not prove
+absence of traffic outside the selected recording, filter or read range.
+Dissector results are observations, not independently verified device behavior.
+
+Evidence includes source path/digest/size, exact selections, typed packet fields,
+configured and resolved executable paths/digests/full version banner, arguments and stderr. Warnings remain
+visible even on exit zero. `tool.version_diagnostics` also retains warnings from
+the separate version probe. Post-run identity failures identify the affected
+private copy, executable or limiter; resource-signal errors retain the signal
+and effective ceilings. Two-pass mode cannot recover missing capture bytes.
+
+Each call uses a private read-only capture copy and an empty personal
+configuration directory (`WIRESHARK_CONFIG_DIR`), with name resolution disabled.
+The executable, resource limiter and private input copy are rechecked after execution. Owned
+processes, file descriptors and private files are cleaned up; failed cleanup retains ownership and
+completed observations for retry. The one-shot CLI awaits a cleanup retry while
+preserving the original failure and completed Evidence. Completed observations
+remain in the MCP session after cancellation or cleanup failure; bounded
+post-run integrity checks finish before honoring a late abort. Source files
+are never passed to TShark.
+Installed libraries, global configuration and plugins remain trusted, are not
+fully fingerprinted, and can influence dissection. This is not an OS sandbox.
+
+Input is limited to 32 MiB before reading, each command to 30 seconds, and
+combined stdout/stderr to 4 MiB during collection. Output overflow fails instead
+of returning truncated success. Before execution, `prlimit` enforces **1 GiB
+address space per process**, **64 MiB per file**, **30 CPU seconds** and no core
+dumps. Stricter inherited soft/hard limits are preserved; Evidence records the effective
+ceilings. Both limits are set before execution, so dissector allocations and
+compressed-capture expansion cannot exceed the per-process address-space cap.
+These are not aggregate process-memory or filesystem quotas. The selected
+limiter is trusted; its path, digest and arguments are retained in Evidence.
+No arbitrary process flags are accepted.

+## Discover protocols and field names
+
+`inspect_packet_fields` / `inspect-packet-fields` queries the installed TShark
+registration glossary before selecting fields for capture inspection:
+
+```sh
+rea inspect-packet-fields --query usb
+rea inspect-packet-fields --kind fields --protocol usb --query idVendor
+rea inspect-packet-fields --kind fields --protocol udp --all
+```
+
+`kind` defaults to `protocols`; `fields` selects field definitions. `protocol`
+selects an exact protocol abbreviation (the protocol itself or its child fields).
+`query` is a case-insensitive literal substring in name, abbreviation or field
+description. `offset` skips matching records; `limit` defaults to 50. MCP
+`limit: null` or CLI `--all` requests all remaining matches within the resource
+budget. `--all` and `--limit` conflict. The window reports examined records of
+the selected kind before filters, matching records, returned records and
+`has_more`; it never counts capture packets.
+
+Returned records preserve field type, parent protocol, display base, bitmask,
+description and original glossary line number. Empty producer strings remain
+empty; protocol records have null field-only properties. Repeated abbreviations
+remain separate registrations. A listed field is an installation capability, not
+proof that the field appears in a selected recording.
+
+The adapter uses the documented `tshark -G fields` grammar under its existing
+private empty profile and Linux process limits. TShark 4.6.9's full glossary was
+measured at 22,303,197 bytes; discovery admits at most **32 MiB** combined command
+output (capture inspection remains at **4 MiB**). Parsing walks lines once and
+constructs objects only for the selected page. Returned strings are copied so
+retained pages do not retain the complete glossary string. Before constructing a selected
+record it charges six times the source UTF-8 bytes plus 512 bytes against an
+**8 MiB** representation budget, covering JSON escaping and record bookkeeping.
+If that budget would be exceeded, narrow the query or page size; results are not
+silently truncated. This is a conservative admission budget, not measured heap
+usage. Parent pipe buffers and producer per-process limits remain distinct.
+
+Tool/limiter identity, version, stderr and selected arguments are retained in
+Evidence. No capture, interface or device is opened. Discovery shares capture
+analysis's admission slot and cleanup owner. Each call rereads the glossary;
+installed plugins, libraries and global configuration remain trusted and are not
+fully fingerprinted. There is no cache or snapshot-consistent pagination claim.
+The real Linux lane checks public CLI/MCP queries against the direct glossary,
+including USB vendor-ID typing, negative queries and paging.

+# Packet capture summaries
+
+REA summarizes already saved pcap/pcapng files through caller-selected Wireshark
+4.x `tshark` and `capinfos`. Use `inspect_packet_capture` for selected fields,
+filters and decode-as rules; use this family for address, DNS, SNI, protocol-stack
+and URI inventories. It does not acquire traffic or fetch recorded targets.
+
+## Supply tools
+
+```sh
+export REA_TSHARK_COMMAND=/absolute/path/tshark
+export REA_CAPINFOS_COMMAND=/absolute/path/capinfos
+# Linux only; default /usr/bin/prlimit
+export REA_TSHARK_PRLIMIT_COMMAND=/absolute/path/prlimit
+rea inspect-pcap-client
+rea inspect-pcap-capture /captures/session.pcapng --json
+```
+
+Without explicit tool commands, this family resolves them through PATH and
+records that selection source. Client inspection reads no capture file. Capture
+inspection requires Linux with util-linux prlimit or Windows with owned Job
+Objects. macOS capture inspection returns a capability gap because the new
+native memory boundary is unverified; its version probes remain available.
+Tools and installed libraries/plugins are caller-trusted. An empty private
+personal Wireshark configuration is used; this is not an OS sandbox.
+
+## Inspect only the needed facts
+
+MCP `inspect_pcap_capture` accepts `path` and optional `detail: "summary"`.
+Complete delivery remains the default. Summary commits and retains the same
+complete Evidence, returning identity, capture metadata, observed counts,
+retained counts, source coverage and diagnostic lengths without large lists.
+Then use its `normalized_result.parent_evidence_id` with
+`inspect_analysis_view` source kind `retained-evidence`:
+
+```json
+{"kind":"pcap","facet":"endpoints","offset":0,"limit":20}
+{"kind":"pcap","facet":"dns-queries","offset":0,"limit":20}
+{"kind":"pcap","facet":"dns-addresses","query":"example.com","offset":0,"limit":20}
+{"kind":"pcap","facet":"tls-sni","offset":0,"limit":20}
+{"kind":"pcap","facet":"diagnostics","stream":"tshark","offset":0,"limit":4096}
+```
+
+Other row facets are `protocols`, `http-uris` and `unattributed-addresses`.
+Defaults are offset 0 and limit 64. DNS question pages give address counts;
+select one exact retained question to page its addresses. Diagnostic windows
+count UTF-16 code units; other windows count rows. Missing/ambiguous selectors
+fail. Unknown legacy diagnostics remain unknown, not an observed empty stream.
+Portable CLI views use the existing `inspect-analysis-view` workflow with inline
+complete Evidence. Views never reread the source or launch Wireshark and work
+after the original file is deleted. Page exhaustion covers the retained facet;
+it does not establish network completeness or recover missing traffic.
+
+## Interpret provenance and coverage
+
+`target.sha256` binds observations to an admitted stable capture snapshot. Both
+tools read that copy, which is hashed again after analysis. Capture metadata and
+literal field values are producer observations; address/protocol counts and DNS
+associations are derivations. Capture Evidence has historical-reference authority.
+
+Addresses count once per packet, including loopback and nested IP occurrences.
+DNS addresses are associated only with one question in the same response packet;
+additional records may be included, so this does not prove final resolution.
+Ambiguous addresses remain in a separate inventory. Protocol distribution counts
+exact `frame.protocols` stack strings. TLS SNI is recorded handshake metadata,
+not process identity or proof of the destination's authenticity.
+
+All examined inventories are retained within the resource budget; no fixed
+200/100/50-item truncation is applied. HTTP transport credentials are excluded
+without rewriting other URI bytes; ambiguous credential spans cause omission.
+Counts preserve distinct observed source URIs before omission or coalescing.
+`coverage: "partial"` records unresolved DNS attribution or URI item loss;
+component credential exclusion is also counted explicitly. Diagnostics retain
+both tool stderr streams. Recorded fields do not establish decrypted payloads,
+causality, process identity, absence of unrecorded traffic or current deployments.
+
+## Resources and lifecycle
+
+One inspection is admitted at a time per provider. Concurrent calls return a
+capacity error; close drains active work before releasing resources. Captures
+are streamed into a read-only owned snapshot with a 2 GiB disk budget. Native
+capture commands enforce Linux address-space ceilings of at most 1 GiB,
+300 CPU seconds, 64 MiB per file and no core dumps, preserving stricter inherited
+limits. Windows uses a 1 GiB committed-memory limit for each owned tool tree.
+These are not aggregate machine or filesystem quotas.
+
+TShark output is bounded at 8 MiB; its known five-level selected-field shape and
+128 MiB graph-expansion estimate are checked before allocation. Retained facts
+have a separate 16 MiB estimate. Capinfos output is limited to 64 KiB. Command
+wall deadlines are 300 s for dissection, 60 s for metadata and 20 s for probes.
+Native ownership preparation has its own bounded lifecycle.
+
+Malformed/oversized output returns no partial success. Unvalidated partial JSON
+is not returned as facts. Cancellation reaches probes, acquisition, commands and
+projection. Cleanup failure returns a typed error, retains completed Evidence
+when available, and retains owned resources for retry on close.
+
+## Verification scope
+
+Current follow-up verification uses Linux/Node 24.18.0 and Wireshark 4.0.17.
+Private real recorded corpora are checked against independent raw-frame/IP
+parsing and Python aggregation, public CLI/stdio MCP parity, SDK schemas, source
+hashes and retained views. Synthetic native tools separately test malformed
+output, cancellation, source/snapshot mutation, capacity and cleanup; they do
+not establish real Wireshark or other-platform behavior.
+
+The original proposal reported Linux 4.6.6, macOS/Windows 4.6.9 verification on
+its earlier implementation. Those reports do not verify the new final memory
+boundary. Actual Windows/Bun Wireshark execution is unverified here; macOS
+capture support needs a separate enforceable-bound decision.
+
+```sh
+npm run verify:pcap -- --pcap /absolute/saved-capture.pcapng
+```
+
+This verifier exercises built CLI/stdio MCP, schemas, artifact identity and
+cleanup. Without `--pcap`, capture inspection is reported as unverified. Private
+captures, keys and provider runtime files are not committed.

+`inspect_sqlite_database` / `inspect-sqlite-database` inspects one explicitly
+selected local SQLite database snapshot without an active native analysis
+target. Use it to understand application storage, configuration or retained
+database evidence. No separate SQLite installation is required.
+
+This operation requires Node.js 24.x >=24.15 or 26+ with the native
+`DatabaseSync.limits` API. The worker verifies that capability before querying
+the copied database. Other REA features retain their published Node.js 22.x,
+24.x or 26+ requirements.
+
+`rea capabilities` reports `inspect_sqlite_database` availability and the
+runtime requirement without opening a database. Unsupported runtimes show
+`available: false`, `availability_code: "unsupported_version"`, and an upgrade
+note while the inventory command still succeeds.
+
+```sh
+rea capabilities --json
+rea inspect-sqlite-database ./application.sqlite --json
+rea inspect-sqlite-database ./application.sqlite --table settings --column key --column value --row-limit 20 --json
+```

+  "arguments": {
+    "path": "/artifacts/application.sqlite",
+    "table": "settings",
+    "columns": ["key", "value"],
+    "row_limit": 20
+  }
+}
+```
+
+MCP paths must be absolute filesystem paths on the current host. CLI paths
+resolve against the operator's working directory. Select a quiescent snapshot:
+stop the writer or obtain a consistent database/WAL pair using the application's
+backup workflow before inspection. A file copy of a live pair does not establish
+an atomic SQLite snapshot, even if no change is detected during inspection.
+
+## Returned evidence
+
+Without a table selection, the default `schema_scope` is `inventory`: compact
+table metadata and index, view and trigger names, without SQL declarations or
+column details. Selecting a table defaults to `selected_table`, which expands
+that table and its indexes and triggers. Explicit `schema_scope: "database"`
+(or CLI `--schema-scope database`) expands all stored declarations and supported
+columns. `schema.completeness` refers to the reported scope; omitted column
+details are marked `not_requested`. SQL declarations retain the original text. Virtual and
+shadow tables are identified as such; their supported metadata coverage is
+reported. If a virtual table cannot be resolved, possible backing tables have
+`kind: "unknown"` and an explicit limitation; their rows are refused. Unrelated
+ordinary tables remain selectable. Schema inventory does not execute views,
+triggers or arbitrary SQL.
+
+Rows are optional. `table` selects one exact ordinary-table name. `columns`
+(CLI repeated `--column`) selects exact visible column names in the requested
+order; omission selects all visible columns, including generated columns.
+Unselected cells are not evaluated or projected. Column selection requires a
+table and at least one name; empty-string identifiers are valid. `row_limit`
+requires `table`, defaults to 20 and accepts positive safe integers. Samples
+remain subject to the byte and worker resource limits below, regardless of row count. The result reports
+the selected limit, returned count and whether more rows were observed. Row
+order is unspecified; a truncated sample does not prove anything about omitted
+records. View, virtual-table and shadow-table row reads are unsupported.
+
+SQLite integers are decimal strings so every signed 64-bit value survives JSON
+serialization. Real values retain their numbers; `"Infinity"`, `"-Infinity"`
+and `"-0"` explicitly preserve infinities and negative zero through JSON.
+Text returns the decoded string together with its bytes as hex and the database
+encoding, preserving malformed text that the SQLite binding may replace for
+display. Blobs are hex, and SQL NULL is a distinct tagged value.
+
+Database and existing sibling `-wal` files have separate original SHA-256 and
+byte counts. The Evidence subject identifies the original database file;
+the WAL identity is also necessary to interpret pending committed data. The
+SQLite engine version is reported with the observed result. Neither digest is
+a claim that the database is healthy, complete or trusted.
+
+## Source files and failures
+
+REA copies the selected database and existing sibling WAL to an owned private
+temporary directory before SQLite opens them. Source files are not opened by
+SQLite, so its locks or shared-memory sidecars cannot modify the original
+snapshot. Temporary copies and the owned worker are cleaned up on success,
+failure and cancellation. Extension loading and schema trust are disabled.
+Empty rollback journals and fully zeroed journal headers left by successful
+`TRUNCATE` and `PERSIST` commits are accepted after stable identity checks.
+Journal headers are checked both before and after acquisition; unchanged file
+metadata alone does not establish that a journal remains inactive.
+Other retained rollback journals are refused because recovery is outside this
+profile. Journal files are never modified or copied into the worker snapshot.
+
+A provider admits at most two inspections through acquisition, worker execution
+and cleanup. Additional requests receive a typed capacity error before reading
+files or creating workers; retry after an active inspection finishes. This
+bounds simultaneous input buffering and private snapshot/worker counts.
+
+The database and WAL together are limited to 256 MiB. SQLite values/records,
+SQL statements and the complete worker JSON reply each have a 16 MiB limit.
+The owned worker has a 256 MiB JavaScript heap limit and a 30-second inspection
+deadline. SQLite native allocations are separate from the JavaScript heap;
+overall native heap and total resident memory are not capped. Row limits do not
+override these byte and resource limits. Resource-limit failures do not return
+an incomplete schema as successful complete evidence.
+
+MCP also applies its configured response budget to the complete Evidence
+envelope. If delivery exceeds that budget, it reports a transport constraint
+with guidance for exporting retained Evidence, requesting a matching larger
+client/server response budget or using complete CLI JSON output.
+
+A cancellation received after the worker has completed does not erase the
+completed observation. If subsequent private-root cleanup fails, the error
+retains the completed Evidence and the resource owner for cleanup retry. MCP
+records that Evidence before delivering the error, which carries its retained
+evidence ID for later retrieval or export.
+
+Changed input identities, special files, malformed databases, unsupported
+formats and resource failures are reported as errors with the selected path and
+meaningful reason. Encrypted databases, database repair, arbitrary SQL,
+cross-database queries and live capture are outside this inspection's coverage.
+
+## Compatibility verification
+
+Run `npm run test:sqlite` after changing the SQLite adapter or its shared
+process, filesystem, CLI or MCP boundaries. It prepares the compiled runtime
+and runs SQLite service, snapshot, inspection, cleanup and public CLI/MCP
+tests. Directory-based selection includes new SQLite service and boundary
+tests automatically. `npm run test:sqlite:run` runs the same cases when the
+compiled runtime and generated test artifacts are already current.
+
+The reusable SQLite CI workflow consumes the shared build artifact and tests
+the latest Node 22.x unavailable-runtime diagnostics, the minimum supported
+24.15.0 release, and the latest 24.x and 26.x releases. The repository-pinned
+runtime also runs the full suite. CI's required gate waits for every selected
+SQLite matrix job; a failed, cancelled, skipped or missing selected lane blocks
+the gate. Workflow changes themselves select the build and compatibility lane.
+
+PR checks run against GitHub's merge with the current base branch. A later
+change to `main` can introduce failures outside SQLite; inspect the failing
+job and recheck the updated merge before treating an earlier green run as
+current verification. Compatibility checks detect regressions, but cannot
+guarantee that an arbitrary future upstream change remains compatible.

 as well. A newly started unreadable process can prevent verified cleanup even
 after the selected command exits. REA preserves this uncertainty and leaves
 that process untouched.
+
+Reading those tokens requires compiling a small Swift helper with `xcrun swiftc`.
+By default that compilation reuses Swift's shared module cache, while the
+compiler's intermediate objects stay inside the per-run temporary root that REA
+removes afterwards. Set `REA_DARWIN_MODULE_CACHE_PATH` to a writable directory
+when a shared cache is unavailable, for example under an enforced write
+boundary. REA creates the directory, passes it to the compiler as
+`-module-cache-path`, and exports it as `CLANG_MODULE_CACHE_PATH` so the
+Objective-C header modules the helper builds land there too. REA never removes
+that directory: it outlives each run, so the first compilation into a new
+directory pays a cold-cache build and later runs reuse it. An absent or empty
+value keeps the shared default.
+
+`xcrun` also maintains a separate tool-lookup cache. Its `--no-cache` option
+refreshes entries and does not guarantee a write-free lookup. To avoid that
+lookup while compiling REA's helper, set `REA_DARWIN_SWIFTC_PATH` to the absolute
+path of an installed `swiftc` and `SDKROOT` to the absolute path of a compatible
+macOS SDK. REA invokes that compiler directly with `-sdk` and the selected SDK;
+an unset or empty compiler setting keeps the normal `xcrun swiftc` path. A
+missing or relative SDK/compiler path fails with an actionable prerequisite
+error before compilation. An incompatible installation reports the compiler's
+bounded diagnostics; REA does not repair or replace the toolchain.
+
+For example, select paths from your existing Xcode or Command Line Tools
+installation **before** entering an enforced write boundary:
+
+```sh
+export REA_DARWIN_SWIFTC_PATH="$(xcrun --find swiftc)"
+export SDKROOT="$(xcrun --show-sdk-path)"

+export TMPDIR="$PWD/rea-cache/tmp"

+rea analyze-javascript-application ./fixture --artifact-format directory

+Keep the selected compiler and SDK paired. Permit REA's evidence/output paths
+and its temporary directory as well as the caller-owned module cache. REA does
+not create a sandbox or claim that these settings contain every write made by
+arbitrary toolchains or analysis providers. They bypass REA's `xcrun` lookup
+and select the helper's Swift/Clang cache without disabling ownership checks.
+The caller-owned cache survives cancellation and cleanup; per-run compiler
+intermediates and the compiled helper remain REA-owned temporary files.
+
+The boundary must also permit process-table inspection. On macOS, `/bin/ps`
+is setuid and a blanket sandbox may reject its launch with `spawn EPERM`.
+REA then preserves ownership uncertainty and can report `cleanup_incomplete`;
+it does not disable verification to continue. A sandbox that explicitly allows

+    "annotations": "uart=rx-data"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`decoders` uses sigrok's decoder stack and option/channel syntax. Channel names
+must match the recording; REA does not guess wiring, baud rate or protocol.
+Omitting `input_format` requests sigrok's autodetection. Omitting `annotations`
+retains every annotation class. Both omitted selections are recorded as null.
+See the [upstream manual](https://sigrok.org/wiki/Sigrok-cli) for formats,
+decoder stacking and annotation selectors. No arbitrary command flags are accepted.
+
+Output defaults to 50 literal LF-separated lines. Use `line_offset` and
+`line_limit` for later pages, or MCP `line_limit: null` / CLI `--all_lines`
+for all remaining output. `output_window` reports `total_lines`, `returned_lines`
+and `has_more`; these count display lines, **not annotations or samples**.
+Line endings, blank lines and text within the selected window stay unchanged.
+REA does not parse display text into protocol facts, as explained by
+[upstream's annotation output guidance](https://sigrok.org/wiki/Protocol_decoder_output).
+Paging does not shorten decoding and producer output must still fit its limit.
+Use annotation-class selection to reduce producer output. Calls independently
+check the source digest; do not combine pages from different digests.
+
+Each selector is limited to 8,192 UTF-16 code units, and total encoded selector
+arguments (UTF-8, option prefixes, terminators and 64-bit argv pointers) to
+32 KiB before launching. This reserves headroom below Linux execve's minimum
+argument/environment budget; a large inherited environment may still exhaust it.
+
+The returned Evidence includes the input path/digest, exact selections, tool
+configured and resolved paths/digests, full version banner (including library versions), annotation text
+with sample-number ranges, and stderr. For example, `1104-1938 uart-1: 52`
+is producer display text over a sample range, not a timestamp or an independently
+verified protocol fact. Text is retained verbatim; it is not parsed as a lossless
+binary payload. Empty output does not establish absence of traffic. Warnings
+remain visible even when sigrok exits zero, including `tool.version_diagnostics`
+from the separate version probe. Post-run identity failures name the tool, limiter
+or private copy involved, rather than blaming the admitted source. Resource-signal
+failures retain the signal and effective limits without inferring its exact cause.
+
+REA decodes a private, read-only copy of the recording, verifies that copy and
+the selected executable and resource limiter after decoding, and removes the workspace after owned
+process cleanup. Failed descriptor, process or workspace cleanup retains ownership for retry, and the one-shot
+CLI awaits a retry without replacing the original failure or completed Evidence.
+Completed observations remain in the MCP session after cancellation or cleanup
+failure; bounded post-run integrity checks finish before honoring a late abort. The source file is
+never passed to sigrok. Caller-supplied tools and their libraries/decoder modules
+are trusted, and hashes identify bytes rather than publisher authenticity.
+
+The input copy is bounded at 32 MiB before reading, each command has a 30-second
+deadline, and combined stdout/stderr is bounded at 4 MiB during collection.
+Oversized output fails rather than becoming truncated success. These limits do
+not form an OS sandbox. Before execution, `prlimit` enforces **1 GiB address
+space per process**, **64 MiB per file**, **30 CPU seconds** and no core dumps.
+Stricter inherited soft/hard limits are preserved; Evidence records the effective
+ceilings. Both limits are set before execution, so decoder allocations and compressed
+recording expansion cannot exceed the per-process address-space cap. These are
+not aggregate process-memory or filesystem quotas. The selected limiter is
+trusted and its path, digest and arguments are retained in Evidence.
+
+## Verification

+```sh
+npm run build:cached
+REA_SIGROK_COMMAND=/absolute/path/to/sigrok-cli node scripts/verify-signal-recording.mjs
+```
+
+The verifier synthesizes a 9600-baud 8N1 UART VCD carrying `REA`, then checks
+actual CLI/MCP parity, advertised schemas, stored Evidence, source hashes,
+annotation filtering/autodetection, invalid decoder/input failures and cleanup.
+An optional positional REA entrypoint verifies an installed package.
+The real-tool lane requires Linux, sigrok-cli 0.7.2 and libsigrokdecode. A separate
+kernel-limit regression checks the inherited soft/hard limits and verifies an
+oversized allocation is refused before it can consume memory. Other formats,
+decoders and physical acquisition are not established by the UART fixture.
+The workflow result must be checked before claiming a specific Linux build
+verified. The earlier macOS tool check does not establish the current bounded
+integration, which deliberately refuses unsupported hosts.
+
+One decode is admitted at a time, including acquisition and cleanup. Excess
+requests receive a retryable capacity error before acquiring another file or
+worker. Shutdown closes admission and drains accepted work; failed cleanup
+remains owned and retryable.

+
+Omit `decoder` to search decoder IDs and names. Supply one exact decoder ID to
+read its literal help, including required/optional channels, options, annotation
+classes and documentation. `query` is a case-insensitive literal substring;

+`offset` skips matches; `limit` defaults to 50. MCP `limit: null` or CLI `--all`
+returns all remaining matches; CLI `--all` and `--limit` conflict.

+A filtered empty page is not evidence that the installation has no decoders.
+
+Discovery refuses more than 65,535 line separators before constructing record
+objects (65,536-line representation budget), in addition to the 4 MiB output cap.
+Exceeding that budget is a resource failure with captured output. Returned text
+is copied so a retained page does not keep the complete producer output alive.
+
+Discovery shares decoding's owned process, admission slot, resource limits,
+cleanup retries and Evidence delivery. It records the executable and limiter
+identities, version banner and warnings. Failed version checks and malformed

+Inspection adds producer-owned typed `interface` facts while keeping exact WAT
+import/export forms. Function/tag signatures resolve type indices; table/memory
+limits, memory page size and global value type/mutability remain explicit.
+Unadmitted types (including GC reference signatures) retain null signatures and
+issues. Exact decoded names retain escapes, empty names, BOM and punctuation.
+This facet is absent in historical Evidence that did not examine typed interfaces.
+
+`compare_wasm_interfaces` accepts two complete `inspect_wasm_artifact` Evidence
+records, or exact retained references in the current MCP session, and required
+`scope: "imports" | "exports" | "both"`. It reads no files and needs no active
+WABT toolchain. CLI uses portable inline Evidence in one JSON document:
+
+```bash
+rea compare-wasm-interfaces comparison-input.json --json
+```
+
+```json
+{
+  "left": { "kind": "retained-evidence", "evidence_id": "ev_<left-digest>" },
+  "right": { "kind": "retained-evidence", "evidence_id": "ev_<right-digest>" },
+  "scope": "both"
+}
+```
+
+The references above are MCP-only; put complete Evidence objects in the CLI
+input. Resolve summary delivery to its retained complete parent before comparing.
+Results retain both input Evidence IDs, artifact paths/digests/lengths and every
+selected occurrence. Unique names are added, removed, changed or unchanged;
+duplicate names and unsupported signatures are unknown. Incomplete or historical
+inventories never establish absence. Imports group by module/name, exports by
+name, so a change of kind is visible. Output ordering is deterministic.
+
+Static type equality does not establish runtime compatibility, ABI compatibility
+or linking success. Comparison covers core modules; WebAssembly components and
+canonical ABI relationships belong to their separate inspection workflow.

 REA does not launch, own, or terminate this browser. Use a dedicated profile and stop it yourself when the investigation is complete. Do not expose the debugging port on a non-loopback interface.
 
+Other Chromium-family browsers, such as Chromium or Brave, work the same way
+with the same two flags. On macOS, run the executable inside the application
+bundle, for example
+`"/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome"` or
+`"/Applications/Brave Browser.app/Contents/MacOS/Brave Browser"`. Fedora installs
+Chromium as `chromium-browser`.
+
+REA needs the browser's HTTP discovery endpoint on a loopback port. A browser
+driven over `--remote-debugging-pipe` or a private channel, for example by an
+automation SDK, exposes no such endpoint, so `list_browser_targets` has nothing
+to attach to. Connection failures report `endpoint_unreachable`; a reachable
+HTTP service that returns a non-200 or non-JSON discovery response reports
+`invalid_endpoint_response`.
+Reproduce that flow in a Chromium-family browser started with
+`--remote-debugging-port`.
+
+In a minimal Linux container, headed Chromium under Xvfb can keep running while
+its DevTools port never opens. Install the GLES, EGL, and Mesa DRI libraries
+(on Fedora: `libglvnd-gles`, `mesa-libEGL`, and `mesa-dri-drivers`), then
+restart the browser.
+
 On Linux, a reachable but locked desktop keyring can stall Chrome before its
 first navigation. For a dedicated investigation profile, add
 `--password-store=basic` to bypass that keyring. Empty or placeholder frame URLs
 then describe an unloaded page; REA continues to require an allowed, committed
 URL. See [the startup investigation](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/1384#issuecomment-6093781686).
 
+### Browsers without HTTP discovery
+
+Some browsers expose a loopback browser WebSocket but no `/json/version` or
+`/json/list`. Chrome 144 and later can enable remote debugging on a running
+browser from `chrome://inspect/#remote-debugging`; this mode is reported to
+serve only the browser socket. Since Chrome 136, `--remote-debugging-port` is
+ignored for the default profile, so this is the remaining way to inspect a page
+in an existing profile.
+
+For such a browser, pass the browser socket instead of the HTTP endpoint:
+
+```bash
+rea list-browser-targets ws://127.0.0.1:9222/devtools/browser/<id>
+```
+
+Chrome writes the port and the `/devtools/browser/<id>` path to the
+`DevToolsActivePort` file in its user data directory. REA does not read that
+file for you.
+
+- Only `list_browser_targets`, `inspect_web_page`, `analyze_web_bundle`,
+  `observe_web_session`, `discover_webmcp_tools`, and `capture_web_screenshot`
+  accept a browser socket. Website runtime attribution, Electron inspection,
+  and scenario attach mode still require HTTP discovery.
+- Each call opens one WebSocket and uses it for discovery
+  (`Browser.getVersion`, `Target.getTargets`) and for the selected page.
+  Discovery must finish within the same 10-second deadline as HTTP discovery.
+  Chrome may ask you to approve each connection.
+- The browser identifier controls access to the socket. Evidence records the
+  endpoint as `ws://127.0.0.1:9222/devtools/browser/[REDACTED]`.
+- `browser.revision` is the socket's `Browser.getVersion` value, such as
+  `@e533e98…`. HTTP discovery reports `WebKit-Version`, such as
+  `537.36 (@e533e98…)`.
+- `Target.getTargets` reports whether each target is attached. Chrome's
+  `/json/list` can omit it, so HTTP discovery may report `attached` as `null`.
+- An existing profile can hold many unrelated pages. Target listing returns
+  each eligible page's URL and title, so pass `--allowed-origins` to list only
+  the origins you are investigating.
+
+A browser driven only through `--remote-debugging-pipe` or a vendor's private
+automation channel has neither endpoint, and REA cannot attach to it.

+Network and console coverage starts only after REA attaches and enables the relevant CDP domains. `prior_activity_available` is always `false`; absence from these arrays is not evidence that an event never occurred. Scripts are different: scripts the page parsed before REA attached are still reported under `scripts`. A page that loaded before attach can therefore list its scripts while `network.requests` lacks the requests that fetched them. If CDP reuses a request ID without supplying redirect metadata, REA retains the predecessor observation and marks network coverage incomplete.
 
 Source maps are not fetched by inspection. Bundle analysis fetches them only when `fetch_source_maps` is selected, with exact-origin redirect checks and no credentials, cookies, or referrer. Each fetch operation has a 30-second deadline and a 64 MiB aggregate streamed-response budget across redirects. A deadline or byte-limit failure remains explicitly unavailable and makes bundle completeness partial. Source-map decoding also bounds raw resolved identities to 64 MiB and aggregate inline evidence to 32 MiB. Failed maps preserve their failure context when it fits; if another context cannot fit, collection stops with the full requested count, the returned processed count, and an explicit unknown-results limitation. Retained mappings and original sources are returned inline. See [source-location limits](web-source-location.md) for the structural decoder bounds. Original source artifacts with `.ts`, `.tsx`, `.mts`, or `.cts` suffixes carry `text/typescript`; other source names retain `text/javascript`.
