Reference for using a "DevHarness" escape hatch to render auth-gated frontend screens against `vite preview` (or your project's local preview equivalent) without booting the full backend. Lets you iterate on mobile-viewport UI polish with a screenshot-driven loop.

Code refactoring patterns and techniques for improving code quality without changing behavior. Use for cleaning up legacy code, reducing complexity, or improving maintainability.

Use when receiving code review feedback, before implementing suggestions, especially if feedback seems unclear or technically questionable - requires technical rigor and verification, not performative agreement or blind implementation

Use when implementing any feature or bugfix, before writing implementation code

Reference for what visual smoke covers (and doesn't) when a fix touches client-side UI or styles. The actual smoke runs automatically in CI; this skill documents the manual decision tree for routes CI can't reach (authenticated screens, multi-step flows, post-auth overlays).
