+## Goal
+
+Consolidate the user-requested local branches into one new branch, keep the merged runtime and UI fixes, restore a green validation baseline, open one replacement PR, and leave only `main` plus the new consolidated branch in the local repo.
+
+## Scope
+
+In scope:
+- Merge the requested branch content into `codex/consolidated-13-15-76`
+- Fix any integration regressions introduced by the consolidation
+- Re-run full repo validation, including `DotPilot.UITests`
+- Push the consolidated branch and open a single PR
+- Remove extra local branches and extra local worktrees so only `main` and the consolidated branch remain
+
+Out of scope:
+- New backlog feature work outside the merged branches
+- Any dependency additions
+- Human merge/approval actions on GitHub
+
+## Constraints And Risks
+
+- The repo requires `-warnaserror` builds.
+- UI tests must run through the real `DotPilot.UITests` harness; no manual app launch outside the harness.
+- The consolidated branch must preserve the startup responsiveness fixes from the PR 76 review follow-up.
+- The local branch cleanup must not delete `main` or the new consolidated branch.
+
+## Testing Methodology
+
+- Validate the compile baseline with the repo `build` command.
+- Validate end-to-end UI behavior only through `dotnet test DotPilot.UITests/DotPilot.UITests.csproj`.
+- Validate the full repo through the solution test command after focused fixes are green.
+- Validate coverage with the repo collector command and confirm no regression versus the pre-consolidation baseline.
+
+## Ordered Plan
+
+- [x] Confirm the active branch/worktree state and identify the consolidated branch target.
+- [x] Reproduce the consolidated-branch regression through the real `DotPilot.UITests` harness.
+- [x] Capture the root cause of the harness failure instead of treating it as a generic host timeout.
+- [x] Restore the missing shared build input and any other merge fallout required to make the browser host buildable again.
+- [x] Run focused UI verification to prove the browser host starts and the failing settings/workbench flow passes again.
+- [x] Run the full required validation sequence:
+  - `dotnet format DotPilot.slnx --verify-no-changes`
+  - `dotnet build DotPilot.slnx -warnaserror -m:1 -p:BuildInParallel=false`
+  - `dotnet test DotPilot.slnx`
+  - `dotnet test DotPilot.Tests/DotPilot.Tests.csproj --settings DotPilot.Tests/coverlet.runsettings --collect:"XPlat Code Coverage"`
+- [ ] Commit the consolidation fixes on `codex/consolidated-13-15-76`.
+- [ ] Push the consolidated branch and open one replacement PR to `main`.
+- [ ] Delete extra local branches and extra local worktrees so only `main` and `codex/consolidated-13-15-76` remain locally.
+
+## Full-Test Baseline
+
+- `dotnet test DotPilot.UITests/DotPilot.UITests.csproj --filter FullyQualifiedName~WhenNavigatingToSettingsThenCategoriesAndEntriesAreVisible -v minimal`
+  - Failed before test execution with `CSC` errors because `/Users/ksemenenko/Developer/dotPilot/CodeMetricsConfig.txt` was missing during the `net10.0-browserwasm` host build.
+
+## Tracked Failing Tests
+
+- [x] `WhenNavigatingToSettingsThenCategoriesAndEntriesAreVisible`
+  - Symptom: browser host exits before reachable
+  - Root cause: `CodeMetricsConfig.txt` missing from repo root, so the browserwasm compile inside the harness fails
+  - Intended fix: restore `CodeMetricsConfig.txt` with the shared analyzer config content and rerun the harness
+
+## Verification Results
+
+- `dotnet test DotPilot.UITests/DotPilot.UITests.csproj --filter FullyQualifiedName~WhenNavigatingToSettingsThenCategoriesAndEntriesAreVisible -v minimal`
+  - Passed: `1`
+- `dotnet build DotPilot.slnx -warnaserror -m:1 -p:BuildInParallel=false`
+  - Passed with `0` warnings and `0` errors
+- `dotnet test DotPilot.slnx`
+  - Passed: `60` unit tests and `22` UI tests
+- `dotnet format DotPilot.slnx --verify-no-changes`
+  - Passed
+- `dotnet test DotPilot.Tests/DotPilot.Tests.csproj --settings DotPilot.Tests/coverlet.runsettings --collect:"XPlat Code Coverage"`
+  - Passed: `60` tests
+  - Coverage artifact: `DotPilot.Tests/TestResults/9a4b4ba7-ae2c-4a23-9eab-0af4d4e30730/coverage.cobertura.xml`
+
+## Done Criteria
+
+- The consolidated branch contains the requested merged work plus the follow-up fixes.
+- Full repo validation is green.
+- One PR exists for the consolidated branch.
+- Only `main` and `codex/consolidated-13-15-76` remain as local branches.
