The briefing
Multiple projects merged bridge PRs that add tests, UI fixes, and documentation. The pull requests describe changes to Phantom, Phantom Secrets, Lexicon, Locus, and ashlr-plugin.
Phantom PRs added worker log actions, timeline selection, job sheet steering, and fleet push notifications. They also updated inbox handling, channel restarts, and route history observation as described in the agent notes.
Phantom PRs added lane targets, composer lane parsing, context pipeline tests, and graph HTTP client coverage. Several PRs improved harness digests, reward signals, and first-run fleet runs acceptance.
Phantom Secrets PRs added rendered QuickStart coverage for macOS and Linux staging commands plus parity tests between displayed examples and installers.
Lexicon PRs implemented the Firefox review declaration in the extension manifest and updated required version notes.
Locus PRs added a manual dry-run verification guide with integration test and a consumer guide for unsigned adapter registry manifests.
ashlr-plugin PRs added a drift guard test that checks parity between parallelize example invocations in documentation files.
Review the new tests for worker logs, fleet runs, and inbox flows before extending similar components.
The updates focus on test coverage and documentation for existing features.
Check the linked guides in Locus and Phantom Secrets docs for updated quickstart and verification steps.
