thunderbolt-webui-probe

Use this skill to generate a non-render probe of the OctoCode WebUI when a full browser is not available. It verifies protocol-level behavior (SSE frames, WebSocket handshake, /api/state) rather than rendered pixels.

When to use

• Fast CI gate before booting a real browser.
• Diagnosing whether an "AI is responding" indicator mismatch is a backend phase bug vs a frontend render bug.
• Capturing the first N SSE tokens to decide whether the stream is alive.

Minimal invocation

curl.exe -N -H "X-Auth-Token: $env:OCTOCODE_AUTH" "http://127.0.0.1:10038/api/stream?session=<id>&text=ping" | Select-Object -First 20

Integration notes

• Intentionally does not require any JS runtime.
• Output is line-delimited SSE and can be compared against a golden file per release.
