phase: 87_big_read_progress

All criteria verified — no defects found, nothing to fix. Final report:

**Phase 87 — big read progress: final verification pass (all tasks already complete in `complete/`)**
- Verified implementation vs. overview: `TOOL_LINE_ELAPSED_AFTER_MS = 5_000`, single live `armToolLineClock` site, settle on thinking/retry/delta, `stopToolLineClock` in `setUiState`, visible `.typing-elapsed` (aria kept byte-identical), CSS AA pairing — all match design; `app/` byte-identical (0 changes)
- **Tests/lint (exact outcomes):**
  - `uv run pytest --cov=app --cov-report=term` → 1732 passed, coverage **99%** (>90% ✓)
  - `uv run pytest tests/e2e/test_big_read_progress.py -v --no-cov` → **4 passed** (ticking suffix, visible hint, settle, no-timer restore)
  - `test_thinking_display.py` → 5 passed · `test_agent_document_tools.py` → 4 passed · `test_smoke.py` → 3 passed (all isolated)
  - 3 pinned frontend suites + new unit pins → 62 passed · `uv run ruff check . && uv run pyright` → clean, 0 errors
- **Completion criteria:** E2E pins 1–4 ✓ · guard/state-machine byte-identical ✓ (diff is additive only) · diff scope limited to `app.js`, `styles.css`, 2 new test files, phase files; nothing in `app/` ✓
- **Notable:** no deviations; commit + `00_phase.md` move left to the harness per executor rules (task files already in `complete/`)
- **Next pending phase:** none — `todo/` contains only this phase (87 is the last)

+All gates green. Task 01 complete.
+
+**Report**
+
+- **Implemented:** `startThinkingClock` now also renders a visible ticking `.typing-elapsed` "Ns" hint (createElement + textContent, bubble's last child) after the 10s gate — aria-label line kept byte-identical; new `.typing-elapsed` CSS rule (mono, ink-soft AA pairing, plain text) placed next to the typing-dot rules, plus full-contrast pin under `prefers-reduced-motion`; new `tests/unit/test_big_read_progress.py` (4 source-level pins, module started for task 02 to extend).
+- **Tests:** `uv run pytest tests/unit/test_big_read_progress.py tests/unit/test_frontend_feedback.py tests/unit/test_frontend_brand.py tests/unit/test_frontend_tool_states.py -v --no-cov` → 54 passed; full `uv run pytest --cov=app --cov-report=term` → 1724 passed, app/ coverage **99%** (>90%).
+- **Lint:** `uv run ruff check .` → All checks passed; `uv run pyright` → 0 errors.
+- **Diff:** additive-only — `app.js` +13 / `styles.css` +21 / new test file; no `app/` changes; pinned line untouched.
+- **Deviations (2, both in favor of correctness):** (1) task suggested pinning `js.count('bubble.innerHTML') == 1`, but the `addTyping` skeleton actually assigns `wrap.innerHTML` — real count is 0, so pinned `== 0` (same intent: no innerHTML on the bubble); (2) the hint span lives inside the `.typing` bubble, so the CSS rule also resets the `.typing span` dot geometry (width/height/radius/background/opacity/animation) it would otherwise inherit — without it the hint would render as an 8px bouncing dot; documented in the rule comment and pinned in the unit test.
+- **Next pending task:** `02_tool_line_elapsed.md` (per-line clock, `(Ns)` suffix, settle on frames).

+All green. Final report:
+
+## Task 02 — per-tool-line elapsed clock: COMPLETE
+
+**Implemented**
+- `app.js`: `TOOL_LINE_ELAPSED_AFTER_MS = 5_000` (A5, next to `TURN_TIMEOUT_MS`); turn-scoped state (`toolLineTimer/Start/Wrap`) next to `thinkingClock`; `armToolLineClock`/`settleToolLine`/`stopToolLineClock` — suffix is a textContent-built `(${secs}s)` SIBLING on `.tool-call:last-child`, tick gates on the 5s constant, null-safe tick
+- Call sites exactly per spec: ONE arm (live `tool` branch after `appendToolLine`), THREE settles (top of thinking/retry/delta), ONE stop (in `setUiState` clear block, after `stopThinkingClock`, before button writes); restore path untouched (A6); `appendToolLine` byte-identical
+- `styles.css`: `.tool-elapsed` rule (mono/ink-soft AA pairing, `white-space: nowrap`) next to the `.tool-call` rules
+- `tests/unit/test_big_read_progress.py`: 8 new pins (named 5s constant, arm×2 exactly, settle≥4 + top-of-branch, setUiState stop ordering, textContent-only latest-line suffix, template literals, CSS AA pairing)
+
+**Gates (all green)**
+- `uv run pytest tests/unit/test_big_read_progress.py` → 12 passed; `test_frontend_tool_states/feedback/brand` → 50 passed unchanged
+- `uv run pytest` → 1732 passed; `--cov=app` → **99%** (>90%)
+- `uv run ruff check . && uv run pyright` → clean; `node --check app.js` OK
+- Live wiring smoke (throwaway, conftest-style env, mock+slow-proxy 8s, real browser): line 1 gained "(5s)" at 5s post-frame, ticked to (8s), re-armed on the next tool line, ALL settled on first delta, none at turn end, no page errors; dev DB restored (docs truncated to as-found empty, smoke tokens revoked, servers stopped)
+
+**Decisions**
+- setUiState stop pinned as "after `stopThinkingClock()`, before `sendBtn.disabled`" (documented in test)
+- In a multi-tool-call turn, an older line's suffix stays frozen until the next non-tool frame/turn end — exactly the spec's behavior (task pins exactly three settle calls "and nothing else"; tick writes latest line only); the owner's big-read case ticks + settles on the delta as designed
+- Dev-LLM live path deflected (empty dev KB → `tool_calls=0`), so smoke used the phase-37 mock flow per the task's fallback; note the mock 500s on the degenerate round-cap request if retrieval seeds the read target (only occurs when a doc gets chunks it shouldn't — E2E fixture avoids by design)
+
+**Next pending task:** `03_e2e_story_suite.md` — `tests/e2e/test_big_read_progress.py`

+All green. Task 03 complete.
+
+**Report — Phase 87, Task 03 (E2E story suite)**
+
+- Implemented `tests/e2e/test_big_read_progress.py`: 4 tests (ticking tool-line "(Ns)" suffix, visible typing "Ns" hint + kept aria channel, settle on answer, no-timer restore) over the mock "use your tools" flow behind the slow-LLM proxy at `SLOW_LLM_DELAY_S=6.0`; phase-64 fixture shape (own ports 8128/8903, conftest env shape incl. leak guards), phase-37 auth (admin login) + byte-identical KB seed/question.
+- Deviation 1 (documented in module): house `_wait_http` (2 s per-attempt timeout) can never probe a 6 s-sleep proxy — added module-local `_wait_slow_http` (delay+5 s per attempt, rest verbatim conftest pattern).
+- Deviation 2 (documented): task's assumed timeline (ls ≈6 s) didn't hold — the chat flow's question **embedding also traverses the proxy** (+6 s), so real timeline is ls ≈12.4 s / read ≈18.7 s / first delta ≈24.9 s (verified via a temporary MutationObserver probe, since removed); test 2 pins the aria channel by polling until the visible hint (≥10) and "still thinking" aria-label align (same JS task per tick — tool frames overwrite the bubble's aria with status copy).
+- Added `saved_chats` to the per-test TRUNCATE (phase-55 auto-save rows; house pattern of newer suites).
+- Tests: `uv run pytest tests/e2e/test_big_read_progress.py -v --no-cov` — **4 consecutive isolated runs, 4 passed each** (~96 s/run; gate requires 3).
+- Full suite: `uv run pytest` → 1732 passed; `--cov=app` → TOTAL 99% (>90%); `uv run ruff check .` clean; `uv run pyright` 0 errors.
+- Footprint: only the new E2E file; nothing touched in `app/`, `frontend/`, `conftest.py`, `mock_llm.py`, `slow_llm.py`, or other suites (no commit made — harness owns it).
+- Next pending task: `04_verify_and_commit.md` (full gate + atomic commit + phase move).

+All green. Final report:
+
+**Phase 87 task 04 — gate verified, live check done**
+
+- Gates (all green): `uv run pytest` → 1732 passed; `uv run pytest --cov=app --cov-report=term-missing` → TOTAL 99% (>90% held, no `app/` change); `tests/e2e/test_big_read_progress.py` → 4 passed (95.6s, isolation); `test_thinking_display.py` → 5 passed; `test_agent_document_tools.py` → 4 passed; `test_smoke.py` → 3 passed; `ruff check . && pyright` → clean (0 errors). Untouched frontend suites re-run named: 62 passed with `test_big_read_progress.py`.
+- Live check (real aipi LLM, dev server, headless session — transcript `/tmp/live_check_87_transcript.txt`, shots in `/tmp/live_check_87_shots/`): big-read gap 47s → "📄 Reading Homelab/big-incident-report.md" ticked (5s)→(46s), settled on the verbatim answer; pre-token window 42s → visible typing hint 10s→49s with aligned "still thinking" aria; Stop mid-gap (suffix on the current turn's own line — DOM-diagnosed) → reload: 0 `.tool-elapsed`, 0 `#typing-indicator`, button "Send"; no page JS errors; seeded test docs removed from dev DB afterward.
+- Notable: hint and suffix can't co-occur when the real model streams `thinking` early (phase-17 `removeTyping` on thinking frames — pre-existing, byte-identical); both runs above prove each indication live. Working tree holds only `app.js`/`styles.css` + the two new test files + phase files; `app/`, `conftest.py`, `mock_llm.py`, `slow_llm.py`, `pyproject.toml`/`uv.lock` untouched.
+- Deviations: per harness protocol I made no commit and moved no phase files (task 04's commit/mv steps are the harness's atomic phase commit). Pre-existing untracked `.agents/remediation_plan.md` (Sep-7 security audit) is in the tree — not phase 87; harness to decide on it.
+- Next pending task: none — task 04 is the phase's last; phase complete pending the harness commit + move.
