AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
No tests were used as evidence. Each commit was independently installed with vp i and built with vp run --filter t3 build:bundle. Each built apps/server/dist/bin.mjs ran on loopback from its own detached worktree, using a fresh explicit data directory and T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0. A common Node driver exercised the real WebSocket RPC and HTTP MCP endpoints, authenticated through browser pairing and MCP OAuth. No provider turn was launched.

The driver creates a synthetic project and thread, links the existing open GitCafe pull request, waits for its initial host synchronization, and submits a synthetic merged snapshot through the server command API. The snapshot includes a merge timestamp. The same driver confirms that the host says open, records the stored merged snapshot, calls watch_pull_request, and reads the resulting persisted projection. GitCafe metadata is live; no forge response is mocked. No repository or pull request was created, deleted, merged or modified on the host.

Both videos are actual X11 terminal recordings of the driver interacting with the built server: 1920x1080, 10 fps, identical white terminal and geometry. The driver prints the environment, live host state, seeded snapshot, MCP response and final persisted state. These are server/CLI captures, not an Electron client demonstration. All uploaded output contains synthetic seed data and public PR metadata only.

The full disposable-GitHub-repository deletion/recreation scenario was not performed because this pipeline step prohibits forge writes. The deterministic seed reproduces its stale merged metadata precondition. GitHub-specific host integration, genuine merged-PR refusal, host errors, and later watch notifications were not verified in this capture.

The first exploratory base recording raced the initial link synchronization and passed because it overwrote the seed. The final shared driver waits for that initial synchronization before seeding; the final recordings use that same driver on both commits.
