+# E2E slot acquired under a shared/long-lived tmux session name leaks the slot
+
+Symptom: an E2E slot stays held for tens of minutes with no verifier running; `e2e-slot.sh status`
+shows the holder as a long-lived session name (e.g. the planner/starter session) while other
+sections starve on a 3-slot machine. The slot is never auto-reclaimed because the holding session
+never dies.
+
+Cause: an orchestrator (not a verifier) ran `e2e-slot.sh acquire` itself, under its window's shared
+tmux session name instead of a dedicated per-round verifier session. Slot reclamation keys on the
+holder's tmux session being gone; a shared session outlives every round, so the hold is effectively
+permanent until someone releases it by hand.
+
+Fix: only the e2e-verifier acquires a slot, always under its own dedicated session name
+(`<section>-e2e-verifier-<label>`), and releases it the moment its device phase ends (release also
+stops the stack — a slot and a dev stack are the same resource since #4826). The orchestrator never
+acquires slots, never starts dev stacks "for" a verifier, and checks `e2e-slot.sh status` before
+declaring starvation; a blocked `acquire` from a real holder is correct behaviour, not a wedge.

+# iOS 26.5 simulator: cannot make getCurrentPositionAsync hang (locationd always answers)
+
+Symptom: an E2E flow needs `Location.getCurrentPositionAsync` to never resolve (e.g. to fire an
+app-side 10 s GPS-timeout race), but on iOS 26.5 simulators a fix always arrives immediately.
+
+Cause, verified on iPhone 17 Pro / iOS 26.5 (Xcode 26):
+- `xcrun simctl location <udid> clear` is non-functional: after `set A` then `clear`, CoreLocation
+  keeps serving A; on a freshly erased device it serves a built-in default (observed: Potrero
+  District, SF). The clear returns exit 0 and changes nothing.
+- `launchctl kill SIGSTOP system/com.apple.locationd` (via `xcrun simctl spawn`) does not produce a
+  position-request hang either: a warm app resolves from its in-process CLLocationManager cache
+  (Accuracy.Lowest accepts it), and a cold app hangs earlier — inside
+  `requestForegroundPermissionsAsync`, before any app-side timeout race starts. The button then
+  shows its busy state indefinitely (evidence that the spinner renders while awaiting).
+- `killall` does not exist in the sim userland; signal system daemons with
+  `xcrun simctl spawn <udid> launchctl kill <SIG> system/<label>` (heeds the
+  `user/foreground/<label>` warning; both resolve).
+
+Fix: drive the same outer-catch path with Location Services OFF instead:
+`xcrun simctl spawn <udid> defaults write /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.apple.locationd.plist
+LocationServicesEnabled -bool false`, then restart the daemon
+(`launchctl kill SIGTERM system/com.apple.locationd`). Per-app permission stays granted, so
+`getCurrentPositionAsync` rejects into the same catch a timeout would. Restore with `-bool true` +
+SIGTERM. On-device evidence of the 10 s race itself is not obtainable on a simulator — cover it by
+unit test and record the substitution in the report.
+
+Related: Maestro point taps reject decimal percentages (`NumberFormatException: For input string:
+"34.4"`) — use absolute coordinates ("201,301") or integer percents.

+# New apps/mobile test file passes CI without ever running — check the vitest project includes
+
+Symptom: a newly added `apps/mobile` test file passes CI without ever executing; `pnpm test` reports no new suite and the suite count does not grow. Green is not proof the file ran.
+
+Cause: `apps/mobile/vitest.config.ts` composes two projects with **enumerated** include globs. `vitest.pure.config.ts` lists specific directories (`src/lib/*.test.ts`, `src/components/**/*.test.ts`, `src/components/pr-review/**/*.test.tsx`, …) and `vitest.mounted.config.ts` matches only `src/**/*.mounted.test.tsx`. A path outside every listed glob — for example a `.test.tsx` under `src/components/<anything-but-pr-review>/` — matches no project and is silently skipped, with no warning.
+
+Fix: before adding a mobile test in a new directory, check both config files and add the narrowest matching include (e.g. `src/components/kiloclaw/**/*.test.tsx` — not `src/components/**/*.test.tsx`, which would double-own `*.mounted.test.tsx` files with the mounted project). Confirm the suite count actually grew in the `pnpm test` output.
