Attach a live hot-reload debug session when the human asks to run the app locally. Watch real console, page, and network errors and patch the same session. Use when: "run locally", "run the app", "start the server", "let me test", "debug this", "hot reload", "open the app", "start pages".

# Local debug session
When the human asks to run the app locally, attach. Do not print a URL and
stop. Do not serve `dist/` or a headless `verify:*` harness unless they asked
for that gate.
## Attach
1. Start the HMR server as a long-lived attached process. Keep it running.
- Pages UI, no backend (ADR 0090): `pnpm --filter @opensesame/pages dev:web`
(`http://localhost:5180` — localhost, not `127.0.0.1`, for passkeys).
- Pages plus Host/Identity/mock IdPs: `pnpm --filter @opensesame/pages dev`
(`scripts/pages-dev.sh`).
- Other Vite surfaces: that package's `dev` script, same attach rule.
2. Open the same origin in a browser/debug session the agent can read
(console, pageerror, failed requests, runtime overlay).
3. Exercise the changed surface the way a person would.
## Watch and fix
- Subscribe to process stdout/stderr and browser console / page errors /
failed network. Capture the real message, stack, and the user action that
produced it.
- Patch source in the running tree so Vite HMR updates the attached session.
Re-observe the same session. Do not restart from a production build to
"confirm" a live-debug fix.
- Keep the session up until the human says stop.
## Not this skill
`verify:static`, `verify:auth`, `verify:keyboard`, and `verify:local-iam`
drive a fresh `dist/` in headless Chromium. Those stay merge gates. They are
not a substitute for an attached local debug session.
