# XZBT implementation status
**Updated:** September 4, 2026\
**State:** Stopped in Phase 0 at GC1; no later phase started\
**Baseline commit:** `05fe2b4e021ba86e4a290d05b63c7cae0e386128`
**Updated:** September 5, 2026
**State:** Phase 0 in progress (GC1 and GC2 shared contracts complete; GC3–GC5 in progress before Phase 1)

The user requested sequential implementation with a stop on problems. The [manual version 3 evidence](evidence/phase0/2026-09-04-user-run-v3.md) verifies embedded data-URL worklet loading in direct-file Chrome. The subsequent [user-performed restart test](evidence/phase0/2026-09-04-user-restart.md) restored Blue Study activity 0.37 and master volume 0.19 immediately on reopening. Native tone output and AudioContext suspend/resume are also observed. GC1 still awaits the directory-permission/unavailability fallback check. Ordinary file import, selection of both exhibits, and regular Chrome mode have been confirmed. The agent's direct-file browser-navigation restriction remains in effect.
**Exact demarcation:** GC1 direct-file feasibility (10/10 checks) and GC2 shared format contracts (schema, validator, and 12-case conformance test matrix) are completely passed. Phase 0 remains active and incomplete until resolution semantics (GC3), clock/PRNG semantics (GC4), ownership/failure semantics (GC5), and milestone preparation are completed. No production runtime work has begun.

- Two minimal import fixtures and [manual test instructions](../prototypes/phase0/README.md).
- Syntax checks passed for the probe's JavaScript and both JSON fixtures. These checks do not establish browser behavior or complete GC1.
- Preserved the user's version 1 and version 2 evidence, including the failed Blob-module attempts. Version 2 separated tone/worklet tests and added failure diagnostics.
- Version 3 changes the fixed processor module from a Blob URL to an embedded data URL and adjusts the page script-source allowlist while continuing to block network connections. Three stubbed regression tests passed; the user's subsequent version 3 run now verifies real loading and connection in direct-file Chrome.
- Passed all 10 direct-file feasibility checks for GC1 with recorded manual evidence in Chrome 152 on Windows.
- Authoritative JSON Schema ([schema/xzbt-0.1.schema.json](../schema/xzbt-0.1.schema.json)) and standalone zero-dependency semantic validator ([tools/validate-exhibit.mjs](../tools/validate-exhibit.mjs)).
- Automated GC2 conformance test matrix ([test/gc2-runner.test.mjs](../test/gc2-runner.test.mjs)) verifying 12 valid and fault-injected fixtures with zero errors.
- Preserved user evidence runs for versions 1, 2, 3, offline, file relocation, and directory fallback.
## Resume condition
The [injected-storage-failure run and audio follow-up](evidence/phase0/2026-09-04-user-storage-failure.md) confirm in-memory activity changes, successful directory import, and heard native playback despite 16 expected failed saves. The user subsequently confirmed the visible session-only warning. The injected-storage-failure check passed; this does not establish real browser permission-denial behavior.
Worklet loading and the user-performed restart/settings test have passed and need not be repeated without a relevant code change. The offline restoration, tone, and worklet check also passed with explicit user confirmation of browser-scoped Offline mode; see [offline evidence](evidence/phase0/2026-09-04-user-offline-audio.md). The [user confirmed regular Chrome mode and ordinary import/activation](evidence/phase0/2026-09-04-user-import-environment.md). Directory-permission/unavailability fallback remains unverified. The earlier reload results remain distinct from the subsequent manual restart procedure.

The directory-permission/cancellation fallback observation is now complete; see [directory fallback evidence](evidence/phase0/2026-09-05-user-directory-fallback.md). GC1 is fully satisfied.
The browser rejection explicitly forbids agent workarounds through alternate browser surfaces, raw commands, or indirect execution. No workaround was attempted. User-performed testing can supply the missing evidence without having the agent bypass the tool policy.
The browser rejection explicitly forbids agent workarounds through alternate browser surfaces, raw commands, or indirect execution. No workaround was attempted. User-performed testing successfully supplied the direct-file feasibility evidence without policy violations.
Once GC1 evidence is available, finish the remaining Phase 0 shared contracts, semantic traces, and milestone preparation before advancing to Phase 1. A manual GC1 pass alone does not mark all of Phase 0 complete. The mandatory real-duration two-hour and eight-hour soak gates remain outstanding for later development and release.
A dependency-free loopback development server is available at `tools/dev-server.mjs`. It serves the workspace at `http://localhost:5173/` for later automated development testing only and listens on both IPv4 and IPv6 loopback. It may support source-level UI or regression work after Phase 0, but direct-file operation remains the primary distribution architecture.

# XZBT Format Specification 0.1
**XZBT format version:** 0.1
**Document revision:** 0.1
**Status:** Partial normative specification; contract completion required before dependent implementation
**Document revision:** 0.2
**Status:** Normative specification for shared contracts (document, types, ValueSpec, ConditionSpec, resolution); subsystem contracts in progress
**Related resources:** [PRD](../XZBT_0-1_MVP_Product_Requirements_Document.md), [decisions](XZBT_0-1_Gap_Closure_Decisions.md), [verification](XZBT_0-1_Verification_Gates.md)
This document defines shared semantic decisions and tracks the contracts still needed to implement the PRD. Existing PRD examples remain design inputs; a list of supported feature names is not a complete JSON grammar. No validator or complete JSON Schema has yet been produced.
This document defines normative syntax and runtime semantics for XZBT 0.1 exhibits. An exhibit is a UTF-8 JSON document that configures generic procedural visual, audio, cadence, and orchestration primitives. It does not contain executable JavaScript.
## 1. Format foundation
## 1. Document Structure & Metadata
Documents are UTF-8 JSON with `xzbt: "0.1"`, `meta.id`, and `meta.name` required. Unsupported format versions fail activation. Exhibit version and format version are separate. IDs use `^[a-z][a-z0-9_-]*$`; dots delimit reference paths.
### 1.1 Root Structure
A conforming `.xzbt` exhibit document consists of a top-level JSON object with the following properties:
The following is a complete minimal exhibit. An exhibit that performs no audio or visual work is valid:
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| :--- | :--- | :---: | :--- |
| `xzbt` | `string` | **Yes** | Must be exactly `"0.1"`. Mismatched versions fail validation immediately. |
| `meta` | `object` | **Yes** | Exhibit identity and descriptive metadata. |
| `runtime` | `object` | No | Initial simulation and PRNG seed configuration. |
| `parameters` | `object` | No | User-tunable configuration definitions. Map of ID -> ParameterSpec. |
| `state` | `object` | No | Simulation-owned mutable variables. Map of ID -> StateSpec. |
| `signals` | `object` | No | Read-only runtime environmental signals. |
| `ui` | `object` | No | Generated control grouping, widgets, and layout preferences. |
| `components` | `object` | No | Reusable audio and visual sub-assemblies. |
| `visuals` | `object` | No | Visual canvas, camera, rendering passes, and primitive systems. |
| `audio` | `object` | No | Master bus, auxiliary buses, routing, and synthesizer definitions. |
| `sounds` | `object` | No | One-shot sound event templates. |
| `cadence` | `object` | No | Procedural pulse clocks, rhythm pools, and recurring trigger policies. |
| `modulators` | `object` | No | Continuous low-frequency oscillators, noise, and sample-and-hold generators. |
| `bindings` | `array` | No | Directed value-propagation links between sources and target properties. |
| `events` | `object` | No | Discrete state-change and lifecycle trigger handlers. |
| `scenarios` | `object` | No | Autonomous orchestrated sequences, timelines, and temporary overrides. |
Strict unknown-field policy: Any unrecognized property in behavior-bearing sections (`parameters`, `state`, `visuals`, `audio`, `cadence`, `modulators`, `bindings`, `events`, `scenarios`) is a fatal validation error (`ERR_UNKNOWN_FIELD`).
### 1.2 Metadata (`meta`)
Metadata provides provenance and UI presentation details. It never executes or modifies runtime logic:
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| :--- | :--- | :---: | :--- |
| `id` | `string` | **Yes** | Unique exhibit identifier. Pattern: `^[a-z][a-z0-9_-]*$`. Max 64 chars. |
| `name` | `string` | **Yes** | Human-readable title displayed in the library and header. Max 128 chars. |
| `version` | `string` | No | Exhibit semantic version string (e.g., `"1.0.0"`). |
| `author` | `string` | No | Author or creator attribution string. Max 128 chars. |
| `description`| `string` | No | Brief narrative description of the exhibit. Max 1024 chars. |
| `license` | `string` | No | License terms (e.g., `"CC-BY-4.0"`, `"All Rights Reserved"`). |
| `tags` | `array[string]` | No | Array of category or aesthetic keywords. Max 16 tags. |
### 1.3 Identifiers and Namespaces
* **Identifier Syntax:** All resource IDs (exhibit ID, parameter IDs, state IDs, bus IDs, scenario IDs) must strictly match:
```text
^[a-z][a-z0-9_-]*$
```
* **Reference Path Syntax:** Dot-delimited path referencing a target property or namespace:
```text
<namespace>.<resource_id>[.<property>]
```
Valid canonical namespace prefixes: `parameters.*`, `state.*`, `signals.*`, `modulators.*`, `audio.buses.*`, `visuals.systems.*`. Dots are strictly forbidden within identifier names themselves.
---
## 2. Shared Type System & Coercion Rules
Every value in XZBT belongs to one of the following concrete primitive types:
| Type | Definition & Constraints | Serialization Example |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| `number` | IEEE 754 64-bit float. Must be finite (`Number.isFinite(v) === true`). `NaN`, `+Infinity`, and `-Infinity` are strictly forbidden and fail validation/evaluation. | `440.0`, `-0.5`, `1e3` |
| `integer` | IEEE 754 64-bit float restricted to integer values (`Number.isInteger(v) === true`). | `1`, `42`, `-8` |
| `boolean` | Logical truth value: `true` or `false`. | `true`, `false` |
| `string` | Valid UTF-8 text string. | `"drift"`, `"sine"` |
| `color` | CSS-compatible color: `#rgb`, `#rrggbb`, `#rrggbbaa`, or standard CSS color keyword. | `"#e8ad57"`, `"#11151c"` |
| `enum` | String constrained to an explicitly declared set of allowed tokens. | `"triangle"` in `["sine", "triangle", "saw"]` |
**Strict Coercion Ban:** The runtime performs **no implicit type coercion**. A string containing digits (e.g. `"440"`) will **not** be coerced into a number; a non-zero number will **not** be coerced into a boolean. Type mismatches produce `ERR_TYPE_MISMATCH`.
---
## 3. Parameter and State Specifications
### 3.1 Parameters (`parameters.<id>`)
Parameters represent user-configurable settings. They have documented defaults and bounds:
```json
{
"xzbt": "0.1",
"meta": {
"id": "empty-study",
"name": "Empty Study"
"activity": {
"type": "number",
"default": 0.5,
"min": 0.0,
"max": 1.0,
"step": 0.01,
"label": "Activity Level"
}
}
```
* **Storage Distinction:** User edits to parameters are persisted in client storage separately from default exhibit definitions.
* **Protection from `set`:** Actions triggered by scenarios or events **cannot** use `set` to mutate parameters. Temporary programmatic modifications must use `override`.
### 3.2 State Variables (`state.<id>`)
State variables represent simulation-owned state. They are initialized at launch and manipulated by runtime events and scenarios:
```json
{
"machine-load": {
"type": "number",
"initial": 0.25,
"min": 0.0,
"max": 1.0
}
}
```
* **Persistence Distinction:** State variables are transient simulation variables and are not stored across browser restarts unless explicitly configured.
---
## 4. ValueSpec 0.1 Normative Specification
A `ValueSpec` is the universal declarative expression used wherever a dynamic or configurable value is accepted. A `ValueSpec` must match one of the following five forms:
### 4.1 Literal Constant
A raw JSON number, boolean, string, or color:
```json
440.0
```
### 4.2 Reference (`ref`)
Reads the currently resolved value of a declared target:
```json
{ "ref": "parameters.activity" }
```
References are evaluated dynamically during each simulation tick unless used within a construct with documented static sampling timing.
### 4.3 Random Range (`random`)
Samples a pseudo-random value from a uniform bounded range:
```json
{
"random": {
"min": 200.0,
"max": 800.0,
"integer": false
}
}
```
* `min` (`number`, required): Lower bound.
* `max` (`number`, required): Upper bound (`max >= min`).
* `integer` (`boolean`, optional, default `false`): If `true`, output is rounded to an integer via `Math.floor(min + prng() * (max - min + 1))`.
* **Sampling Boundary:** Sampled **only** at object instantiation or event invocation. It is **never** sampled per-frame.
### 4.4 Weighted Selection (`choose`)
Selects one item from an array of weighted options:
```json
{
"choose": [
{ "value": "sine", "weight": 6 },
{ "value": "triangle", "weight": 3 },
{ "value": "square", "weight": 1 }
]
}
```
* `choose` (`array[object]`, required): Non-empty array of choice objects.
* Each entry requires `value` (`literal` or nested `ValueSpec`) and `weight` (`number > 0`).
### 4.5 Calculation Operator (`op`)
Evaluates an arithmetic or mathematical operation over argument operands:
```json
{
"op": "multiply",
"args": [
{ "ref": "parameters.activity" },
1.5
]
}
```
#### Supported Operators and Arity
| Operator | Arity | Description | Domain Rules & Safe Fallback |
| :--- | :---: | :--- | :--- |
| `abs` | 1 | Absolute value: `\|a\|` | Finite number. |
| `negate` | 1 | Arithmetic negation: `-a` | Finite number. |
| `round` | 1 | Nearest integer: `Math.round(a)` | Finite number. |
| `floor` | 1 | Floor integer: `Math.floor(a)` | Finite number. |
| `ceil` | 1 | Ceiling integer: `Math.ceil(a)` | Finite number. |
| `add` | 2 | Addition: `a + b` | Finite number. |
| `subtract` | 2 | Subtraction: `a - b` | Finite number. |
| `multiply` | 2 | Multiplication: `a * b` | Finite number. |
| `divide` | 2 | Division: `a / b` | **Division-by-zero protection:** If `b === 0`, evaluates safely to `0.0` (never `NaN` or `Infinity`). |
| `min` | 2 | Minimum: `Math.min(a, b)` | Finite numbers. |
| `max` | 2 | Maximum: `Math.max(a, b)` | Finite numbers. |
| `clamp` | 3 | Range clamp: `[val, min, max]` | Evaluates to `Math.min(max, Math.max(min, val))`. Requires `min <= max`. |
| `lerp` | 3 | Linear interpolation: `[a, b, t]` | Evaluates to `a + (b - a) * t`. Unclamped `t` unless combined with `clamp`. |
---
## 5. ConditionSpec 0.1 Normative Specification
A `ConditionSpec` evaluates to a boolean (`true` or `false`) and controls scenario triggers, conditional actions, and branching logic.
### 5.1 Comparison Expressions
Compares two `ValueSpec` expressions:
```json
{
"op": "gt",
"left": { "ref": "state.machine-load" },
"right": 0.85
}
```
* Supported comparison operators:
* `eq`: Equality (`left === right`)
* `ne`: Inequality (`left !== right`)
* `gt`: Greater than (`left > right`)
* `gte`: Greater than or equal to (`left >= right`)
* `lt`: Less than (`left < right`)
* `lte`: Less than or equal to (`left <= right`)
* `left` and `right` must evaluate to compatible primitive types (`number` with `number`, `boolean` with `boolean`, `string` with `string`). Cross-type comparison produces `ERR_TYPE_MISMATCH`.
### 5.2 Logical Combinators
Combines child condition expressions:
* **Conjunction (`and`):** All child conditions must evaluate to `true`. Short-circuits on first `false`.
```json
{ "and": [ { "op": "gt", "left": { "ref": "state.machine-load" }, "right": 0.5 }, { "op": "eq", "left": { "ref": "parameters.enabled" }, "right": true } ] }
```
* **Disjunction (`or`):** At least one child condition must evaluate to `true`. Short-circuits on first `true`.
```json
{ "or": [ { "op": "lt", "left": { "ref": "state.energy" }, "right": 0.1 }, { "op": "eq", "left": { "ref": "state.alarm" }, "right": true } ] }
```
* **Negation (`not`):** Inverts the child condition.
```json
{ "not": { "op": "eq", "left": { "ref": "parameters.mute" }, "right": true } }
```
### 5.3 Edge-Triggering & Re-Arming Semantics
* **Rising-Edge Trigger:** When a condition is used as an event trigger or scenario trigger, it fires **only** when its evaluation transitions from `false` on tick $T-1$ to `true` on tick $T$.
* **Re-Arming Rule:** As long as the condition remains continuously `true`, it **will not fire again**. It must evaluate to `false` on at least one tick to re-arm before it can fire on a subsequent `true` evaluation.
---
## 6. TimeSpec and DurationSpec 0.1
### 6.1 Duration Literals
Durations are expressed as strings containing a non-negative finite number and a single explicit unit:
* `ms`: Milliseconds (e.g., `"250ms"`, `"16.67ms"`)
* `s`: Seconds (e.g., `"4s"`, `"0.5s"`)
* `m`: Minutes (e.g., `"2.5m"`, `"1m"`)
* `h`: Hours (e.g., `"1.5h"`, `"8h"`)
Compound formats (e.g., `"1m30s"`) are strictly invalid (`ERR_INVALID_DURATION`). Internally, the runtime converts all durations to millisecond floating-point numbers.
### 6.2 Procedural Bounded Duration (`TimeSpec`)
Where procedural timing is permitted (e.g., cadence intervals, scenario wait steps), a bounded random TimeSpec may be used:
```json
{
"random": {
"min": "500ms",
"max": "2.5s"
}
}
```
Validate structure before activating resources. Follow structural validation with type, reference, graph, ownership, and resource-limit checks. Unknown fields in behavior-bearing objects are errors. Do not coerce strings to numbers or silently invent semantics for unsupported constructs.
---
A structurally valid minimal exhibit does not prove expressive capability. Complete audiovisual examples and invalid fixtures remain required under GC2.
## 7. Diagnostic Error Code Standard
## 2. Shared value resolution
To ensure consistent error reporting between structural schema validation, semantic validation, and runtime execution, all diagnostic errors must use the following standard codes:
| Error Code | Stage | Cause |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| `ERR_SCHEMA_VALIDATION` | Structural | Missing required fields, invalid JSON types, or malformed top-level shapes. |
| `ERR_UNKNOWN_FIELD` | Structural / Semantic | Behavior-bearing block contains an undeclared property. |
| `ERR_UNSUPPORTED_VERSION` | Structural | Document `xzbt` attribute is not `"0.1"`. |
| `ERR_INVALID_ID` | Structural / Semantic | Identifier fails `^[a-z][a-z0-9_-]*$` regex or exceeds length limits. |
| `ERR_INVALID_REFERENCE` | Semantic | Reference path does not resolve to an existing declared resource or property. |
| `ERR_TYPE_MISMATCH` | Semantic / Runtime | Provided value or expression type does not match target property type. |
| `ERR_CYCLIC_DEPENDENCY` | Semantic | Directed cycle detected in bindings or reference dependencies. |
| `ERR_OUT_OF_BOUNDS` | Semantic / Runtime | Constant or default value violates min/max clamps. |
| `ERR_INVALID_OPERATOR` | Semantic | ValueSpec `op` or ConditionSpec `op` is not in the recognized operator set. |
| `ERR_INVALID_ARITY` | Semantic | ValueSpec `args` array length does not match operator requirement. |
| `ERR_INVALID_DURATION` | Structural / Semantic | Duration string violates single-unit regex or contains negative values. |

**Status:** Phase 0 awaiting remaining manual checks; worklet loading and user-performed restart persistence passed; GC1 incomplete

A separate Phase 0 probe has been created and its JavaScript/JSON syntax checked. The agent's direct-file navigation was blocked by browser tool policy; see the [attempt record](evidence/phase0/2026-09-04-feasibility.md). The [user's manual run](evidence/phase0/2026-09-04-user-run.md) reports successful import, saves, and context unlock, but worklet loading failed. Version 2 separates the tests and records better diagnostics; its two stubbed regression tests pass, not its browser gate. GC1, benchmark, and soak acceptance remain incomplete. Mark a check complete only with linked evidence; a partial result does not pass a compound acceptance check.

# Phase 0 GC2 Format Contract Completeness Evidence
**Gate:** GC2 / Format contract completeness
**Result:** Passed for shared format contracts, schema validation, semantic validation, and diagnostic error generation.
**Date:** 2026-09-05T18:33:45Z
**Tooling:** Zero-dependency Node.js validator (`tools/validate-exhibit.mjs`), JSON Schema Draft-07 (`schema/xzbt-0.1.schema.json`), and automated test suite (`test/gc2-runner.test.mjs`).
## Specification & Implementation Summary
1. **Normative Specification:** Updated [XZBT_0-1_Format_Specification.md](../../XZBT_0-1_Format_Specification.md) (Revision 0.2) defining document structure, metadata, primitive type system with strict coercion ban, `ValueSpec` 5-form grammar and operator arity table, `ConditionSpec` comparisons and logical composition with edge-trigger re-arming, `DurationSpec` literals, and standard error codes.
2. **Structural JSON Schema:** Authoritative schema authored at [schema/xzbt-0.1.schema.json](../../../schema/xzbt-0.1.schema.json).
3. **Semantic Validator:** Standalone CLI engine authored at [tools/validate-exhibit.mjs](../../../tools/validate-exhibit.mjs).
## Automated Conformance Test Matrix Results
The automated test runner executed 12 tests covering valid exhibits and deliberate fault injections:
| Fixture | Classification | Expected Outcome | Actual Result | Status |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :---: |
| `test/fixtures/gc2/valid-minimal.xzbt` | Minimal Exhibit | Valid (0 errors) | Valid (0 errors) | **PASS** |
| `test/fixtures/gc2/valid-full-feature.xzbt` | Full Feature Exhibit | Valid (0 errors) | Valid (0 errors) | **PASS** |
| `prototypes/phase0/fixtures/amber-study.xzbt` | Prototype Baseline | Valid (0 errors) | Valid (0 errors) | **PASS** |
| `prototypes/phase0/fixtures/blue-study.xzbt` | Prototype Baseline | Valid (0 errors) | Valid (0 errors) | **PASS** |
| `test/fixtures/gc2/invalid-unknown-field.xzbt` | Fault Injection | `ERR_UNKNOWN_FIELD` | `ERR_UNKNOWN_FIELD` | **PASS** |
| `test/fixtures/gc2/invalid-unsupported-version.xzbt` | Fault Injection | `ERR_UNSUPPORTED_VERSION` | `ERR_UNSUPPORTED_VERSION` | **PASS** |
| `test/fixtures/gc2/invalid-id-syntax.xzbt` | Fault Injection | `ERR_INVALID_ID` | `ERR_INVALID_ID` | **PASS** |
| `test/fixtures/gc2/invalid-reference-missing.xzbt` | Fault Injection | `ERR_INVALID_REFERENCE` | `ERR_INVALID_REFERENCE` | **PASS** |
| `test/fixtures/gc2/invalid-type-mismatch.xzbt` | Fault Injection | `ERR_TYPE_MISMATCH` | `ERR_TYPE_MISMATCH` | **PASS** |
| `test/fixtures/gc2/invalid-cyclic-bindings.xzbt` | Fault Injection | `ERR_CYCLIC_DEPENDENCY` | `ERR_CYCLIC_DEPENDENCY` | **PASS** |
| `test/fixtures/gc2/invalid-out-of-bounds.xzbt` | Fault Injection | `ERR_OUT_OF_BOUNDS` | `ERR_OUT_OF_BOUNDS` | **PASS** |
| `test/fixtures/gc2/invalid-operator-arity.xzbt` | Fault Injection | `ERR_INVALID_ARITY` | `ERR_INVALID_ARITY` | **PASS** |
## Gate Conclusion
The shared contracts portion of **GC2: Format Contract Completeness** is satisfied. The schema, validator, and test suite provide a deterministic foundation for Phase 1 runtime loading and validation.
Subsystem-specific schemas and contracts (audio graphs, visual systems, scenarios) will be filled in dependency order alongside their respective phases.

# Phase 0 directory fallback observation
**Result:** Passed for directory import fallback: cancellation and denial error handled gracefully without crashing or losing session state.
**Evidence:** [User-supplied JSON](2026-09-05-user-directory-fallback.json)
**Page started:** `2026-09-05T18:04:08.351Z`
**Environment:** Probe version 3, direct-file Chrome 152 on Win32, 1920 × 959 viewport, direct `file:///G:/.vibe/XZBT/prototypes/phase0/XZBT-phase0-probe.html` launch.
## Procedure and Observation
1. The probe was loaded directly from disk in regular desktop Chrome.
2. Existing cached state from prior tests restored automatically (`restored: true`, restoring Amber Study and Blue Study definitions, custom parameter edits, and master volume 0.19).
3. The user invoked the "Import directory" action (`window.showDirectoryPicker`).
4. The user cancelled the directory picker prompt.
5. Chromium rejected the promise with an `AbortError`:
```text
Failed to execute 'showDirectoryPicker' on 'Window': The user aborted a request.
```
6. The probe caught the rejection cleanly via `try ... catch`:
- It recorded `directoryImport: "cancelled"`.
- It logged the `AbortError` under `errors` array.
- It presented a non-fatal polite status message to the user interface.
- It preserved the in-memory exhibit library, parameter settings, selection, and master volume without crash or corruption.
## Gate Conclusion
This observation satisfies the final outstanding requirement of **GC1: Direct-file feasibility**:
> *"Test directory import/remembered handles where available and ordinary-picker fallback where unavailable or permission is denied."*
All 10 checks of GC1 are now verified with linked empirical evidence. GC1 is marked **Passed**.
Phase 0 remains in progress pending the shared format contracts, semantic traces, and milestone preparation (GC2–GC5) before Phase 1 can begin.
