+
+## Symptom
+
+The credential-free native smoke failed even though the current app reached the
+login screen and displayed its required controls.
+
+## Reproduction
+
+Run `e2e/maestro/login-screen-smoke.yaml` against current main. The flow waited
+for the retired tagline `Explore intimacy together`; the app displayed updated
+marketing copy while `Sauci` and `Password` were present.
+
+## Cause
+
+Login readiness was coupled to mutable marketing copy rather than a stable
+required control.
+
+## Remediation
+
+Wait for the password control that defines login readiness, while retaining the
+brand and password assertions. Apply the same readiness condition to the
+authenticated and credential-free flows.
+
+## Evidence
+
+Simulator read-back confirmed the current login shell exposes `Sauci` and
+`Password`. The maintained Maestro flows now wait for that stable control rather
+than the tagline.

+scope: mobile release build and upload workflow
+evidence: clean-source local EAS builds for iOS 43 and Android 46
+destination: scripts/lint-harness.mjs
+review_after: 2027-02-28
+---
+
+## Symptom
+
+A build-only request initially regenerated tracked native projects. The generated
+Android widget provider replaced the checked-in implementation, and the Android
+release script would also have uploaded after building.
+
+## Reproduction
+
+Run the former mobile release scripts or run `expo prebuild` before a local EAS
+build, then inspect `git diff`. The reproduced diff included the Android widget
+provider, widget XML, and Xcode project rather than version metadata alone.
+
+## Cause
+
+The release scripts combined three independently reviewed operations: native
+regeneration, artifact creation, and store upload. Sauci already tracks native
+projects, and EAS skips prebuild when those directories exist.
+
+## Remediation
+
+Keep native regeneration explicit, make release scripts artifact-only, expose
+upload separately, and lint the scripts so those responsibilities cannot be
+silently recombined.
+
+## Evidence
+
+Corrected local EAS logs reported `PREBUILD` skipped. Both production artifacts
+built successfully from the clean tracked sources; the post-build worktree
+contained only the four expected build-number files. `npm run lint:harness`
+enforces the release-script boundary.

+Sauci commits its native `ios/` and `android/` projects. Start a release from a
+clean worktree whose `HEAD` matches its fetched upstream, and do not run
+`expo prebuild` before a routine release build. EAS detects the native projects
+and packages the checked-in sources directly.

+project rewrite means the source was regenerated and the artifact must be rebuilt
