# R9 genuine-null-non-repository

Evidence for [#33263](https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/pull/33263). Control unchanged: the initial real remote read produces null, and a subsequent local-only refresh preserves null with isRepo false/refName null.

The initial subscription and successful real server remote-refresh span certify a genuine remote read. No cache injection or fake VCS service is used.

AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.

The recordings below preserve action/event order independently in each column. Rows align by event ordinal, not wall-clock synchronization. Full payloads, command traces, and server completion spans are in the linked logs. Bounded windows establish only the recorded absence of an update, not a full 30-second delay.
