"""M11 §20-§21: the release regression, in a real browser, on the frozen build.
python -m tools.m11_browser --out
[--show]
Run from `backend/`, with `frontend/dist` already built. Uses a real narrator
when `AIDND_TEST_ENDPOINT`/`AIDND_TEST_MODEL` are set; the checks that do not
need narration run either way and say which they are.
## What this is and is not
It is the browser half of the release evidence: the M8 workflows re-run as
regression, the security behaviours that only exist in a browser, and the
accessibility properties M8 recorded as *checked by eye* and handed to M11 to
measure. It runs against the **built** SPA served by FastAPI — the production
path from `DEVELOPMENT.md` — because a Vite dev server is not what ships.
It is not a substitute for the component suite, which covers far more states far
faster. What lives here is what jsdom cannot answer: real layout, real focus,
real navigation, a real CSP, a real network stack.
## The rule this harness is built around
M8's review found five harness defects against seven product defects, and two of
the five were *masking* product defects. The lesson recorded there is that a
browser harness asserting on DOM structure, React internals or model wording
produces confident wrong answers. So every check below asserts on something the
product promises — a control's enabled state, a stored value, a request that was
or was not made, a computed style, an accessible name — and never on class names,
element ordering, or the narrator's prose.
