   - **The `__tests__` dirs are typechecked too (#1791).** The src-only `tsconfig.json` excludes `**/*.test.*`, so each of cli, tui, and launcher carries a **`tsconfig.test.json`** — extending the build config, `noEmit`, including `__tests__/**/*` (only the tests root the project; tsc pulls in the `src` they import, and the src-only config already validates all of `src` without the test-only aliases) and adding the test-only path aliases that resolve what vitest resolves via `vitest.shared.mts`. The alias set differs per client: **cli's is the widest** (`@modelcontextprotocol/inspector-test-server` → `test-servers/src`, the `@inspector/core/*` deep paths, express/vitest — cli is the only one importing the test-server package); **tui's** carries only the `@inspector/core/*` + react/vitest redirects; **launcher's** has **no** `paths` at all — it's a plain `rootDir: "."` sibling of the build config (whose `rootDir: ./src` is what rejects the tests). Each client's `typecheck` script runs **both** projects (`tsc -p tsconfig.json && tsc -p tsconfig.test.json`) so running it standalone means the same thing everywhere (launcher's `build` also `tsc`s `src`, but `typecheck` doesn't rely on that). cli additionally carries `@types/express` (devDep) so the transitively-aliased test-server source typechecks, mirroring `clients/web` (cli's `tsconfig.test.json` also names `test-servers/src/server-composable.ts` explicitly — a bin entry the barrel doesn't import, so nothing else gives it a tsc pass). The client **config files** are typechecked too: cli's/tui's (`vitest.config.ts`, `tsup.config.ts`, tui `dev.ts`) are folded into each src `tsconfig.json`'s `include`; launcher's `vitest.config.ts` goes in its `tsconfig.test.json` instead (again the `rootDir: ./src` reason). Note the gate checks mock **implementations and return types** (typing a `vi.fn<T>()` against a real signature keeps its `mockResolvedValue`/impl in sync) but **not** `toHaveBeenCalledWith(...)` arguments — vitest types those to accept anything regardless of the mock's type parameter. **`npm run verify:typecheck-coverage`** (`scripts/verify-typecheck-coverage.mjs`, run as the second step of `validate` right after `verify:format-coverage`) is the durable guard for this invariant: it runs each client's `typecheck` projects with `tsc --listFilesOnly`, unions them, and fails on any tracked `.ts`/`.tsx`/`.mts`/`.cts` that lands in no project — for every gated Node client, which it discovers from disk (each `clients/*` is enrolled through its `typecheck` script's projects, or — for a `tsc -b` client like `clients/web` with no `typecheck` script — through its `tsconfig.json` `references`), so a new client is covered without editing the guard — the typecheck analog of `verify:format-coverage`, since a project only reaches the files its `include` names plus their transitive imports, so a new top-level file (launcher especially, whose build `rootDir: ./src` rejects package-root files) can otherwise fall out silently. Like its sibling it also asserts the gate is *wired* (each client's typecheck pass is reachable from its `validate` — its `typecheck` script for cli/tui/launcher, or a real `tsc -b` for web — and the root chain runs each client's `validate`), so it can't stay green while measuring a pass nothing invokes. It asserts the same of **`test:scripts`** — its own parser tests — on three axes: reachable from the root `validate`, a **non-empty** tracked `scripts/**/*.{test,spec}.*` set, and **every one of those files matched by a glob harvested across the scripts reachable from `test:scripts`** (so a delegating `test:scripts` still measures correctly). The third axis exists because `node --test` silently *skips* a file its glob misses and still exits 0 — a rename to `*.spec.mjs` would shrink the suite with a green run. Beyond the clients it also covers, **deny-by-default**, the first-party TS no client owns — everything tracked outside `clients/*` (`test-servers/src/**`, the root `vitest.shared.mts`, **all of `core/`**, and any new top-level TS location) must land in the *global* union of client projects (cli aliases the test-server source; web's enrolled projects include `core/`). So a `core` `*.tsx` web's `include` doesn't reach, or an unimported `test-servers/src` bin entry, can't ship uncompiled-but-unchecked. The one "listed but unchecked" tier the guard structurally can't see — a per-file `// @ts-nocheck` — is owned by a different gate: `@typescript-eslint/ban-ts-comment` rejects it across every surface (`lint:core`, `lint:shared`, and each client's `eslint .`). The guard's own pure parsers (`scripts/lib/npm-scripts.mjs` + the exported helpers of `verify-typecheck-coverage.mjs`, whose execution is behind a `main()` so importing it for tests doesn't run it) are **unit-tested** — `npm run test:scripts` (node's built-in `node --test`, in `validate`; the root has no vitest harness by design) runs table-driven cases, one per rule the guard's parsers encode, and the guard itself enforces that this stays wired (above).
   - The one CLI nuance: `clients/cli`'s out-of-process `e2e.test.ts` spawns the built binary, so its `test` **builds first** via `pretest` (`test-servers:build && build`). To avoid building it twice, `clients/cli`'s `validate` folds that in — it is `format:check && lint && typecheck && test` with **no** separate `build` step (the other clients, whose tests don't spawn their bundle, keep an explicit `build`). `validate:web`/`validate:tui`/`validate:launcher` are the uniform `format:check && lint && (typecheck &&) build && test`. (#1778, #1789, #1792) `clients/web`'s `format`/`format:check` covers `src`, `server`, `.storybook`, and its top-level configs (the uniform `*.{ts,tsx,mts,cts,js,jsx,mjs,cjs}` glob — `vite.config.ts`, `tsup.runner.config.ts`, `eslint.config.js`, …), not just `src`, so the Node backend, Storybook config, and Vite/build config are prettier-gated too; `clients/launcher`'s covers `src`, `__tests__`, `scripts`, and its top-level configs (the `*.` top-level glob is non-recursive, so each nested dir — `.storybook`, `scripts` — is named explicitly). The `verify:format-coverage` guard (#1792) enforces that this coverage stays complete.
   - **`npm run coverage`** is the per-file ≥90 gate and is now part of `npm run ci` — never treat it as optional before a push. It supersedes the old standalone `test:integration` step: web's `test:coverage` runs the `unit` **and** `integration` projects under v8 instrumentation, so `coverage` both enforces the ≥90 gate and exercises the same web integration paths CI covers.
-- **`smoke` is NOT part of `validate`** — it is included in `npm run ci`. It runs `smoke:launcher` (`--help` dispatch) plus the prod `smoke:cli` / `smoke:tui` / `smoke:web` / `smoke:web:browser`, and contains **no build commands** — it assumes the cli/tui/launcher bundles already exist (a full `validate` builds them; `smoke:web` builds `clients/web/dist` on demand). CI runs `validate`, then the `coverage` gate (which also covers the web integration project), then `verify:build-gate` (the #1769 build gate — see below), then `smoke` (with Playwright chromium installed just before it, since `smoke:web:browser` needs it). GitHub CI runs this same chain as separate workflow steps, with the Storybook play-function tests last (see below).

GitHub CI runs this same chain as separate workflow steps, with the Storybook play-function tests last (see below).
 - `smoke:launcher` (`scripts/smoke-launcher.mjs`) runs the built launcher with `--help`, `--cli --help`, and `--tui --help`, asserting each exits 0 and prints that mode's usage banner (which also proves the launcher resolved and loaded the right client build). It's the cheap dispatch check before the heavier prod smokes below.
 - `smoke:web` (`scripts/smoke-web.mjs`) starts `mcp-inspector --web` (prod, no `--dev`) against the built `clients/web/dist` and asserts `GET /` serves the SPA (HTTP 200) with the injected `__INSPECTOR_API_TOKEN__`. Prod `--web` serves from `clients/web/dist`, which ships in the published package but is absent in a fresh checkout — the runner builds it on demand (`build:client` = `vite build`) on first launch, or exits with an actionable error if that build can't run (see `clients/web/server/ensure-web-build.ts` and the launcher README). `--dev` runs Vite directly and never needs `dist`. It shares the spawn/readiness/teardown helper (`scripts/lib/prod-web-server.mjs`) with `smoke:web:browser`, so the two can't drift.
 - `smoke:web:browser` (`scripts/smoke-web-browser.mjs`, #1615) goes a step further than `smoke:web`: it boots the same prod `--web` server and then actually **runs** the bundle in headless Chromium (Playwright — already a `clients/web` devDependency for the Storybook tests), asserting the app renders its first meaningful frame (the "Add Servers" control) with **no uncaught error**. `smoke:web` only checks the served HTML, so a Node built-in reaching the browser bundle slipped through it; this smoke catches that regression as a *class* (e.g. #1612). The mechanism is the uncaught error, not a magic string: under Vite the excluded module becomes an empty stub and the first *call* into it (e.g. `fs.readFileSync(...)` during a transitive module's init) throws a `TypeError` that aborts app mount. A *synchronous* such throw fires `pageerror`; its *async* twin (the same `TypeError` via `await`/`.then()`, or a failed dynamic import) is logged on the console channel as `Uncaught (in promise) …` / `Failed to fetch dynamically imported module` — the smoke hard-fails on both. The literal `Module "…" has been externalized` text is, **in a prod build**, a build-time warning (`vite build` / `npm run build`), not a runtime message, so the browser never sees it (under `npm run dev` Vite's stub is instead a `Proxy` that `console.warn`s that string at runtime); and an externalized import that is never *called* ships a harmless `{}` and is invisible here by design. Every *other* console error is printed as a diagnostic, not a failure (so a benign font-CDN or React-warning `console.error` doesn't flake CI). Playwright is resolved via `createRequire` based at `clients/web/package.json` — a bare `import("playwright")` would resolve relative to `scripts/`, not the cwd, so it can't be reached that way (it only appears to work when an ancestor `node_modules` carries playwright, and fails in CI, which has none). The npm script's `cd clients/web` exists only so `npx playwright install chromium` finds the local playwright bin (a no-op when already installed).
+- `smoke:web:app` (`scripts/smoke-web-app.mjs`, #1859) goes one step further again: `smoke:web:browser` stops at first paint and never connects to a server, so the Apps tab, the sandbox controller, and the UI-protocol bridge were unexercised by any smoke. This one boots the same prod `--web` server, spawns the `mcp-app-http.json` composable test server (the `mcp_app_demo` tool + its `mcp_app_demo_widget` UI resource), and drives the whole **connect → open app → widget ready** chain through a single deep-link navigate (`?serverUrl=…&autoConnect=<token>&openApp=…&appArgs=…&autoOpen=<token>`). The assertion is the `data-app-status="ready"` contract from [clients/web/README.md](clients/web/README.md) — the renderer reports `ready` only once the widget has loaded inside the sandbox iframe *and* fired `notifications/initialized` back through the bridge, so one attribute covers the sandbox proxy being served, the UI resource loading, and the handshake completing. Two mechanics are load-bearing and easy to get wrong: the test server announces readiness on **stderr** (`console.error` in `server-composable.ts`), so both child streams are piped and scanned — watching stdout alone times out with an empty diagnostic; and its bound port is **not** the config's, because `createTestServerHttp` resolves through `findAvailablePort()`, which walks upward when the configured port is taken — so the smoke parses the announced URL rather than assuming `3130`. **Scope note:** this runs against the repo build tree like every other smoke, so it would *not* have caught #1859 itself (a packaging failure — the file is always present in-repo); `pack:verify` owns that dimension. It does carry a cheap structural pre-check that the proxy page exists at the path `sandbox-controller.ts` resolves, so a move/rename fails fast with a clear cause instead of an opaque render timeout.
 - **The build gate for the browser-externalized-builtin class (#1769)** is the earlier, more complete companion to `smoke:web:browser`. A Vite plugin in `clients/web/vite.config.ts` (logic in `clients/web/server/browser-externalized-builtin-gate.ts`, unit-tested) turns Vite 8's *browser-externalization warning* (`Module "node:*" has been externalized for browser compatibility`) into a hard `vite build` error, so a Node built-in in the browser graph now **fails `npm run build` / `validate`** instead of shipping a `{}` stub. This catches **both** the *called-at-init* case (which `smoke:web:browser` also catches, but later/at runtime) **and** the *imported-but-never-called* case (the `{}` stub that is invisible to the runtime smoke "by design" — see above). Because rolldown **swallows a throw inside `onLog`** (the one hook where a thrown error doesn't abort — verified against vite@8.0.0), the plugin *records* the warning in `onLog` and re-throws in `buildEnd`. There is **no stable log `code`**, so the gate keys off the documented message phrasing; `npm run verify:build-gate` (`scripts/verify-build-gate.mjs`, in `npm run ci` and the GitHub workflow) runs a real build with a `node:fs` probe forced into `src/main.tsx` and asserts the build fails via the gate — the only check that catches the message phrasing **drifting** in a future Vite bump and silently disabling the gate. The gate is scoped to `vite build` (`apply: 'build'`) — never `vite dev` or the vitest projects — **and** to the browser (`client`) environment (`applyToEnvironment`), so a future SSR/node environment built from this config isn't failed for a legitimate `node:*` import; the Node runner build (tsup, `build:runner`) is a separate config where built-ins are legitimate. `smoke:web:browser` stays as the runtime backstop for crashes the build can't reason about.
 - `smoke:cli` (`scripts/smoke-cli.mjs`) drives `mcp-inspector --cli` through the built launcher against the bundled stdio test server via a temp `--catalog`: it asserts `tools/list` returns the server's tools (real connect over stdio), the default writable catalog is seeded empty on first run, a missing read-only `--config` errors without seeding, and `--catalog` + `--config` is rejected. `smoke:tui` (`scripts/smoke-tui.mjs`) launches `mcp-inspector --tui --catalog <temp>` and asserts the Ink app renders its first frame (the "MCP Servers" panel) within a timeout, then SIGTERMs it — a shallow boot/render check, not full interaction. **`smoke:tui` is local-only: it self-skips when `process.env.CI` is set**, because the Ink TUI needs a real TTY (raw mode) that headless CI lacks — so run it (via `npm run smoke`) on your own machine before pushing. Both build `test-servers/build` on demand if it's missing.
 - Storybook play-function tests (`clients/web` `test:storybook`) run in headless Chromium via `@vitest/browser-playwright` (~10s). They are part of `npm run ci` (which installs Playwright chromium first); kept out of `validate` because they need the browser binary and are slower than the unit suite.
