Sync PROBLEMS.md and tests/README.md with 734 Vitest count, fleet evolution checklist, erasure-coded propagation deferred row; retry dashboard login and wait for agents API in LOTL E2E.
Stub slow syscheck/listen-port probes in agent tests, fix ai_snapshot mutex deadlock, reorder fleet clearance vs connectivity checks, and add AI control precedence plus LotlTimeline vitest coverage.
Implements three new spread lanes following the do_peer pattern: DNS TXT mesh staging, WebRTC LAN seed manifest delivery, and WSUS SoftwareDistribution cousin handoff. Integrates tiers into onion chain, deploy-plan allowlist, Forge UI/docs, and tests.
Stop the stats batch timer in unit tests before reading pending coalesced state, teach the Playwright stub agent to emit lotl_tier stats, and prefer server/webroot so phase-8 E2E serves the current frontend build.
Prefer server/webroot in pack-usb (Vite outDir), cd to deck root before starting AetherForge so cwd-based webroot lookup hits usb\webroot, and note pack/LAUNCH steps in tests/README.
Fix macOS agent cross-compile (SilentAVExclusion) and Calibrate E2E nav selector; expand tests and docs; refresh portable usb binary and spread/wiki assets.
Persist build extra_files for Build Manager history, print dashboard login on every start, add libp2p for Mesh P2P forge, defer WebSocket until login, and split devrun.bat from LAUNCH.bat with USB deck auto-detection.
Adds hundreds of unit/integration/e2e tests, fixes WS bcrypt auth, config merge, fleet analytics, agent schedule/log tail, and documents stale PROBLEMS items. Updates PROBLEMS.md, README, and test scripts; ignores local spread-kits and coverage dirs.
