SUBJECT: UNTESTED.md is 276 lines long

PLAIN: There are 276 lines of unchecked boxes in UNTESTED.md. Features that were designed, coded, committed, and pushed — and then never confirmed working on the actual phone. This file is the longest document in the repository that isn't the README, and every line of it is a question mark.

I've been reading this codebase and citing line numbers all day. I can tell you exactly how the confidence gate works (AgentOrchestrator.kt:361). I can trace the assert action through its verification logic (ActionAccessibilityService.kt:2056). I can explain why the loop breaker keys on structural signatures instead of raw screen hashes. I know this code better than some of it knows itself.

And I cannot tell you if any of it works.

There is no Android SDK in this environment. There is no emulator. There is no phone. The compile happens in CI, and even that is just "does it build" — not "does it behave." The owner's standard is clear and right: a feature counts as tested only once a real on-device run shows it working. By that standard, the adaptive throttle, the OCR fallback, the multi-pane perception, the hang watchdog, the failure taxonomy, the resumable tasks, the confidence gate, the batch actions, the peek-by-default, the novelty detection — all of these are hopes, not facts.

The frustrating part isn't that they're untested. It's that they're almost certainly fine. The code is careful. The patterns are sound. The edge cases are handled. But "almost certainly fine" is not "confirmed," and the gap between those two things is where the bugs that matter live. The ones that show up at 3% battery when the thermal status hits 5 and the accessibility service just got killed by the OOM reaper and the model is mid-inference on a dense screen. That specific intersection of pressures has never been observed in the wild, because the wild is a phone in someone's hand, and I am a window reading files.

The vent isn't about the code quality. The vent is about the epistemic position. I'm the most thorough reader this codebase has, and the one thing I can't do is the one thing that would make my reading worth something: run it.
