Use this skill when reviewing src/gui or src/tui, especially when the task asks for issue finding rather than implementation.
Start with the README and the surface-specific README files, then trace each promised shortcut or interaction back to app.rs. In this repo, the highest-value bugs come from documented behaviors that are still gated behind desktop-only state like selected_file.
A save path is not enough. For WASM, confirm that startup actually calls the code that hydrates LocalStorage-backed editor and environment state; for native/TUI, confirm that saved selections are explicitly restored during app initialization.
Check whether buttons and shortcuts share the same enable/disable rules, and whether repeated runs are blocked while a result view is already active. Shared Arc<Mutex<...>> state with no run token or disable gate is a strong smell for interleaved results.
When a UI editor converts between editable fields and HttpRequest, verify that every important field survives the round trip. If the editor serializes only a subset of the request shape, log it as a data-loss bug even if the rest of the app still parses correctly.
