PR #2122 squash-merged as 092633eb; verified by content, not ancestry: two-dot 'git diff --stat 092633eb 7733eb8c' is empty, so nothing was orphaned by the auto-merge race. The pre-merge sync of main into the branch was also proven clean — its tree hash equalled git merge-tree's automatic result exactly, so no hand resolution could have silently reverted content (the failure mode #324 describes). Branch reports 13 ahead of main, which is the squash artifact, not unlanded work. Remote head deleted by GitHub on merge; four inbox requests ride on main awaiting issues:reconcile. | git diff --stat <squash> <tip> empty; merge-tree hash equality on the pre-merge sync; post-merge verify:cheap green — Test Files 673 passed (673), Tests 7275 passed \| 4 skipped (7279), Design-system contract passed (784 production files), hosted migration-role guard passed |

AGENTS.md requires npm run ensure before any browser/UI work, and docs/testing.md requires npm run verify:pr-local at PR handoff. Doing both in one session always fails, because the production build refuses to run while the project dev server holds its port: verify:pr-local exits with 'failed: build (exit 76)' and the note 'production build was refused while the Clinical KB dev server is running (BUILD_REFUSED_DEV_SERVER). This is a failed gate, not a skip.' The refusal itself is correct and should stay - a build sharing a port with a dev server is not trustworthy - but nothing in either doc warns that the two required steps are ordered, so the gate reads as a real failure. Workaround used: stop the dev server, rm -rf .next, re-run npm run build standalone (exit 0), then check:bundle-budget against the fresh output. Options: have verify-pr-local.mjs name the remedy in its own failure note, or document the ordering in the testing speed playbook. Stop rule: do not make the build stage soft-skip when a dev server is up; the existing fail-closed behaviour is the correct half of this.",
