What is Visual Testing Agent?
A preview-URL auditor that checks rendered pages like a visitor would. Read-only by default; writes structured findings the builder can act on.

BYOB Testing Extension
The real-browser driver that lets the testing agent click, type, and scroll like a user. Scripted checks assert structure; the extension proves behavior.
Smoke Check (npm run check / build)
The cheapest reliable gate: typecheck plus production build. Run it after every structural change — it catches breakage code review would take ten times longer to find.
Frontend Review / Critic Loop
Screenshot-only scoring out of ten with a two-iteration cap. The critic sees pixels, not code — which is exactly what users see too.
Svelte Runes
The `$state`, `$derived`, `$effect`, and `$props` primitives powering Svelte 5 reactivity. Runes are mandatory in generated code: explicit, compilable, and consistent across every component.
File-Based Routing
Pages defined by file location: `+page.svelte` renders, `+layout.svelte` wraps, `+server.js` serves data. The route tree is the app map — no separate router config to drift.
Load Function
Server-side data loading for a route before it renders. Load on the server for content crawlers and users need immediately; reach for client fetching only for interactive extras.
