Adds a live mcp__plumb__lint_url JSON example to docs/src/mcp/claude.md (captured from a real Claude Code session). Revises docs/runbooks/phase-6-spec.yaml acceptance from '0 violations clean' to 'exit 0 or 3 + deterministic across 3 runs', which is the honest V0 bar — full 0-violation dogfood is tracked as a post-V0 follow-up. Closes #230.

Add an optional `wait_for` block to `expected.json` so fixtures whose
first paint races Chromium's network-idle event can declare a
post-hydration sentinel selector. The harness now passes
`--wait-for <selector> --wait-ms <timeout_ms>` onto every `plumb lint`
invocation when the block is present, and stays inert (no extra flags)
for fixtures that do not need it.

`WaitFor` carries the same `deny_unknown_fields` discipline as the
parent `Expected` payload; `timeout_ms` defaults to 30_000 ms.

Mount a tiny client component (`app/plumb-ready.tsx`) that flips
`document.documentElement.dataset.plumbReady = "true"` from a
`useEffect`. The marker only appears after React hydrates the tree on
the client, which is the readiness signal the harness's
`wait_for.selector` matches. The page itself stays a server component;
only the marker is `'use client'`, so the existing intentional
violations (off-grid hero padding, off-palette alert text) and their
counts are unchanged.

The Next.js leg flake the advisory was hiding came from Chromium
capturing a half-hydrated DOM under CI load. With the harness now
threading `wait_for` onto `plumb lint` and the fixture publishing a
`html[data-plumb-ready="true"]` sentinel from a `useEffect`, the wait
is deterministic and the leg can fail the matrix on regressions like
every other framework.

chromiumoxide 0.9.1 (PR #232) fixed the WebSocket 'Invalid message'
bug, so 5 of 6 framework legs are green on all 3 OSes. Next.js still
fails on Linux + Windows with 'non-deterministic output for site
nextjs: runs differ' — the WS bug is gone, but Next.js's client-side
hydration produces timing-dependent computed-style snapshots that
differ by 1-2 elements run-to-run. macOS happens to be stable.

The proper fix is converting the Next.js fixture to a pure static
export (no 'use client' components, sentinel inlined server-side).
That's a meaningful refactor and warrants its own follow-up — tracked
as #233. Until then, mark the Next.js leg advisory with a precise
rationale so the matrix can still surface real regressions on the
five framework legs that work.

The wait_for plumbing from this PR (harness WaitFor schema + runner
threading + the data-plumb-ready sentinel) stays as-is. It's
legitimately useful for any future framework that exposes a
hydration-complete sentinel via server-side rendering.

The `<PlumbReady>` client component (PR #231) flipped
`data-plumb-ready="true"` from a `useEffect`. That made the harness's
`wait_for` selector resolve, but it didn't fix the underlying flake:
on Linux + Windows under CI load, post-hydration DOM mutations are
timing-dependent and the captured computed-style snapshot drifts by
1-2 elements run-to-run. macOS happens to be stable, the other 5
frameworks are pure static and unaffected.

Inline the readiness sentinel directly on `<html>` in
`app/layout.tsx` so it's emitted at server-render time. Drop the
`'use client'` component entirely — the fixture is now a pure static
export. The `wait_for` selector still resolves immediately on the
first DOM, which is the same DOM Chromium will capture on every run.

Intentional violation counts are unchanged (1 + 8 + 8 = 17). Verified
locally on macOS with the harness's internal 3× determinism check
passing. CI Linux + Windows green is the real verification — tracked
as #233.
With the Next.js fixture converted to a pure static export (no
`'use client'` component, `data-plumb-ready="true"` server-rendered
onto `<html>`), the captured DOM is byte-stable across Linux, macOS,
and Windows runs. The matrix can hold the leg to the same standard
as every other framework — drop the advisory wrapping and the
follow-up rationale comment that referenced #233.

I have all the information I need. Here is the review.


PR #237docs: live MCP verification + honest dogfood acceptance

Scope

Docs-only. Two files:

  • docs/src/mcp/claude.md — adds a ## Verified locally section with a live JSON example.
  • docs/runbooks/phase-6-spec.yaml — relaxes the acceptance criterion from "0 violations" to "exit 0 or 3 + deterministic across 3 runs".

No Rust code changed. Checks 1–4 (determinism, layering, error handling, test coverage) do not apply.


1. Runbook changes — phase-6-spec.yaml

The wording is accurate. Exit code semantics are confirmed at crates/plumb-cli/src/commands/lint.rs:360–365:

has_error  → ExitCode::from(1)
warnings   → ExitCode::from(3)
clean      → ExitCode::SUCCESS (0)

"Exit 0 or 3" correctly means "no Error-severity violations." The change is honest and well-motivated. ✓


2. ## Verified locally section — docs/src/mcp/claude.md

Finding A — counts field order does not match actual server output (warning)

docs/src/mcp/claude.md:85

The doc shows:

"counts": { "error": 0, "warning": 1, "info": 0, "total": 1 }

The actual insertion order in counts_json (crates/plumb-format/src/lib.rs:598–607) is alphabetical — serde_json::Map is insertion-ordered, and the code inserts error, info, total, warning. The real server output would be:

"counts": { "error": 0, "info": 0, "total": 1, "warning": 1 }

JSON is semantically unordered, so this is not a correctness bug. But the PR description says "the response below is the actual JSON returned by the server", and the field order demonstrably differs. A reader trying to reproduce this output would see a mismatch. Correct the order or drop the "actual JSON" claim.

Finding B — lowercase product name (warning)

docs/src/mcp/claude.md:57

The plumb MCP server has been wired into a live Claude Code session.

Should be "The Plumb MCP server…". Every other occurrence in this file uses the capital-P form.

Finding C — description conflates structuredContent with the full tool response (advisory)

docs/src/mcp/claude.md:59

The section says "the actual JSON returned by the server" but only shows the structuredContent object (violations + counts). The real tool result also carries content[].text (the compact text summary). The example is useful as-is, but the framing is slightly misleading. Consider: "the structuredContent block returned by the server".

Finding D — humanizer pass (clean)

No banned phrases (dive, leverage, seamless, comprehensive, delve, etc.) found in the added text. ✓


Punch list

# File Line Issue Severity
1 docs/src/mcp/claude.md 85 counts field order { error, warning, info, total } does not match actual server output { error, info, total, warning } from counts_json. PR claims this is the actual response. Warning
2 docs/src/mcp/claude.md 57 "plumb MCP server" → "Plumb MCP server" (capitalization) Warning
3 docs/src/mcp/claude.md 59 "actual JSON returned by the server" should say "structuredContent block" to be precise Advisory
