None is a bug in what the code does - each is a gap between what it does and what it appears to promise.\n\n### 1. Verification is opt-in, enforced by prose\n\nA press with neither `expectLabel` nor `expectRole` proceeds exactly as before, reporting `verified: false`. The only thing demanding an expectation is the ALL-CAPS instruction in the tool description - so the safety property h\n\n[Read the thread](https://github.com/vukvukovich/hammerspoon-mcp/issues/36) · 2026-08-14 · closed · 1 comment\n\n### Most recent\n\n### Fix tools hs_applescript follow-ups: surrogate escapes, missing value, dead branch\n\nFound reviewing the #28 fix (`0f28b4a`). Three defects in the new code, all verified live against Hammerspoon on macOS 26.\n\n### 1. The `\\Uxxxx` decoder splits surrogate pairs\n\n`readable()` (`src/tools/unsafe/applescript.ts:39-44`) decodes each `\\Uxxxx` escape independently. NSError descriptions are UTF-16, so any non-BMP character arrives as a **surrogate pair** of two escapes. Decoding each half separately produces two lone surrogates - CESU-8, not valid UTF-8.\n\nLive, from a real error dictiona\n\n[Read the thread](https://github.com/vukvukovich/hammerspoon-mcp/issues/32) · 2026-08-14 · closed · 1 comment\n\n### Doc tools hs_eval returns only the first of several return values\n\nFound in the gated-tier test pass. Minor, but it is a silent truncation.\n\n`return 1, 2, 3` yields `1`. The other two are dropped without comment, because the codec wraps the body in `pcall(function() ... end)` and keeps a single result.\n\nLua's multiple returns are idiomatic (`local ok, err = pcall(...)`, `string.find` returning two indexes), so an agent writing Lua will hit this. The tool's description says \"Use \\`return\\` to produce a value\", which is technically singular but easy to read past.\n\n[Read the thread](https://github.com/vukvukovich/hammerspoon-mcp/issues/30) · 2026-08-14 · closed · 1 comment\n\n### Fix bridge the unencodable flag is dropped before it reaches the caller\n\nFound in the gated-tier test pass, but it affects every tool.\n\nThe wire protocol has three shapes, and ARCHITECTURE.md documents the third:\n\n```json\n{ \"ok\": true, \"value\": \"hs.window: Safari\", \"unencodable\": true }\n```\n\nThe Lua side produces it correctly. The TypeScript side then throws the flag away:\n\n```ts\nexport function envelopeToResult(envelope, toLuaError) {\n  if (envelope.ok) return { ok: true, value: envelope.value };  // unencodable lost\n  ...\n}\n```\n\n`LuaEnvelope` even declares the fiel\n\n[Read the thread](https://github.com/vukvukovich/hammerspoon-mcp/issues/29) · 2026-08-14 · closed · 1 comment\n\n### Fix tools hs_applescript throws away every error detail\n\nFound in the gated-tier test pass. Every AppleScript failure returns the bare string `AppleScript failed`, with nothing after the colon, so the caller learns only that something went wrong.\n\nObserved for all of: syntax error, `error \"deliberate failure\"`, undefined variable, division by zero, and a valid-looking record literal. Five different causes, one indistinguishable message.\n\n### Root cause, verified\n\n`hs.osascript.applescript(source)` returns **three** values: `ok`, `result`, `descriptor`\n\n[Read the thread](https://github.com/vukvukovich/hammerspoon-mcp/issues/28) · 2026-08-14 · closed · 1 comment\n\n### Fix tools hs_ui_press presses the wrong element when indexes shift\n\nFound in the gated-tier test pass. This is the most dangerous defect found so far: a destructive tool that presses something other than what the caller intended, and reports success.\n\n### Reproduction, on Calculator\n\n1. Inspect Calculator's button row. Index 7 is the button labelled `7`; index 12 is `5`.\n2. `hs_ui_press { path: \"/1/1/1/1/1/7\", app: \"Calculator\" }` -> presses `7`. Correct.\n3. `hs_ui_press { path: \"/1/1/1/1/1/12\", app: \"Calculator\" }` -> **presses `6`**, returns `{ label: \"6\", ...\n\n[Read the thread](https://github.com/vukvukovich/hammerspoon-mcp/issues/27) · 2026-08-14 · closed · 1 comment\n\n### Opt tools poll instead of fixed settle sleeps and share one sleep helper\n\nFound by code review of the v0.2.0 changes. Quality, not correctness.\n\n### 1. hs_move_window pays worst-case latency on every call\nThe fixed 400ms settle runs before every read-back although the measured correction window starts at ~40ms and most moves are never adjusted. Poll the frame every ~100ms and return as soon as it matches the request (same early-exit pattern waitForSpace already uses in spaces.ts); unadjusted moves finish in ~100ms with the same 400ms worst case.\n\n### 2.
