- Changed current step from 16 (Deploy) to 9 (New Task) and updated cycle from 1 to 2 in _docs/_autodev_state.md. - Closed Cycle 1 (Phase B) and noted that Steps 14, 15, and 16 were skipped due to no changes in auth, wire, or performance surfaces. - Added new lessons to _docs/LESSONS.md, including insights on architecture gates and handling state discrepancies during session resumes, sourced from recent retrospectives.

[2026-05-12] [architecture] When adding an architecture gate (STC-ARCH-*), extend the existing single-script dispatcher with a new
--modeflag instead of forking a second script; same walker, same comment-skip, same test harness — half the drift surface. Source: _docs/06_metrics/retro_2026-05-12.md -
[2026-05-12] [architecture] When a barrel re-export causes a runtime circular import, treat the carve-out as a structural exemption documented in five coupled places (barrel, consumer, script regex, layout doc, gate test), not as a re-order hack — the exemption clears when the deeper structural fix lands and never silently drifts in the meantime.

[2026-05-12] [process] When autodev detects state ↔ working-tree disagreement on session resume (
state.cycle/state.step≠ on-disk artifact set), ALWAYS surface as a Choose block before resuming work — never silently merge or restart; the rule instate.md"trust folders over state file" worked end-to-end on the AZ-486 resume. Source: _docs/06_metrics/retro_2026-05-12.md
2026-05-11 — Don't replace URL via vi.stubGlobal('URL', { ...URL, ... })
When stubbing URL.createObjectURL / URL.revokeObjectURL for a JSDOM-backed
test, patch the methods on the constructor directly. Never do
vi.stubGlobal('URL', { ...URL, createObjectURL }) — the spread copies only
own enumerable properties of the URL function object, not its prototype, so
the global URL becomes a plain object. new URL(...) then throws / returns
garbage in MSW handlers and the SPA's API helper, and the test silently sees
"no fetch was made" instead of the real failure. Pattern in
tests/upload_size_cap.test.tsx is the canonical fix.
