test(e2e): desktop browser-tabs hides developer toasts on its attached page

test(e2e): hide the developer error toast instead of clicking it away

A generic TCP listener is not sufficient readiness evidence. The browser suite uses direct local daemon connections and does not start a relay. Automated Metro launches set `EXPO_UNSTABLE_HEADLESS=1` so Expo does not download the native DevTools shell into temporary test homes; its read-only cache breaks teardown.

 - The app Playwright harness boots on Windows as well as POSIX. Spawn Node entrypoints through `process.execPath`, not `npx` or `node_modules/.bin` shims: Node refuses to spawn `.cmd` or `.bat` without `shell: true`, and shell mode concatenates argv without escaping and sends kill signals to `cmd.exe` instead of the real child.
 - Teardown kills the process tree, because a Windows signal reaches only the direct child and leaves forked workers holding the listening port.

+# Late composer pill clearance
+
+This regression opens a completed conversation, relaunches the Android app, and
+registers a composer pill five seconds after the client plugin loads. It checks
+that the completed turn's Copy and Fork buttons remain fully above the pill.
+The daemon, plugin API, native app, layout, and accessibility bounds are real;
+no provider calls are needed during the test.
+
+Prerequisites:
+
+- Build the server and app dependencies with `npm run build:server` and
+  `npm run build --workspace=@getpaseo/expo-two-way-audio`.
+- Run an isolated development daemon on a non-default port.
+- Run this checkout's Metro server and open the connected Android dev client
+  with `agent-device`. The app must already know the isolated daemon.
+- Open a completed conversation on a compact portrait Android emulator, at the
+  latest turn, with no other composer tracks visible. Keep the software keyboard
+  closed. Note the workspace and agent IDs from the daemon.
+
+Set `WORKSPACE_ID` and `AGENT_ID` to that conversation, then run from the
+repository root, substituting the session and ports:
+
+```sh
+PASEO_OVERLAY_ARTIFACTS_DIR=.dev/composer-overlay-evidence \
+  node packages/app/e2e/mobile/composer-overlay/android.mjs \
+  composer-overlay ws://127.0.0.1:6843/ws "$WORKSPACE_ID" "$AGENT_ID" sh.paseo.debug 8193
+```
+
+The runner installs and removes its delayed plugin and leaves the conversation
+intact. It preserves the daemon's previous plugins-enabled setting. The evidence directory
+contains the cold-reopen screenshot and raw accessibility snapshot. Without an
+explicit directory, temporary evidence is removed with the fixture.
+
+To check an existing capture independently:
+
+```sh
+node packages/app/e2e/mobile/composer-overlay/assert-footer-clear.mjs \
+  .dev/composer-overlay-evidence/cold-reopen.json 'Overlay regression pill'
+```
+
+On the failing baseline, the Copy button extends below the pill's top edge. With
+the correction, both actions are clear before the composer receives focus.
+
+Additional checks on the same conversation: opening the keyboard keeps the footer
+clear; after scrolling up, a newly registered pill must not jump back to the latest
+turn. Native iOS uses a different keyboard implementation and needs its own device
+verification.

+# Native retained status-ring regression
+
+This runs the production native ring and clock inside real retained panels with
+Reanimated on Android. A probe consumes the same public rotation hook and counts
+UI-runtime value changes. No Reanimated mocks or provider processes are used.
+
+Use an Android development client compatible with the checkout's native dependencies.
+In a disposable checkout, temporarily replace `packages/app/index.ts` with:
+
+```tsx
+import "./src/polyfills/install-early";
+import "./src/styles/unistyles";
+import { registerRootComponent } from "expo";
+import NativeRingRegression from "./e2e/mobile/status-ring/native";
+registerRootComponent(NativeRingRegression);
+```
+
+Start Metro in `packages/app`:
+
+```sh
+APP_VARIANT=development npx expo start --localhost --port 8096
+```
+
+With one Android emulator running, open that bundle:
+
+```sh
+agent-device open sh.paseo.debug 'exp+voice-mobile://expo-development-client/?url=http%3A%2F%2F10.0.2.2%3A8096' --platform android --session status-ring --metro-port 8096
+```
+
+From the repository root:
+
+```sh
+node packages/app/e2e/mobile/status-ring/android.mjs status-ring http://127.0.0.1:8096
+```
+
+The test checks visible rotation, hidden-panel inactivity while another ring is
+visible, inactivity with both panels hidden, and synchronized resumption. Each
+sample reads counters on the UI runtime; elapsed time includes device-command
+latency. The baseline fails at the first hidden-panel assertion.
+
+Restore the original `packages/app/index.ts`, close the agent-device session,
+and stop Metro afterward. The fixture substitutes running rings for a live agent
+and toggles retained panels directly; it does not exercise workspace navigation
+or measure whole-app CPU usage. It is excluded from routine unit tests because
+it requires a native runtime.
