baseline

The repo's verify-before-push gate, codified. CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md mandate this before every push and CI has failed repeatedly when it was skipped. Run it, don't paraphrase it.

1. Bootstrap (don't skip — agent workspaces often lack these)

[ -z "$ANDROID_HOME" ] && export ANDROID_HOME="$HOME/Library/Android/sdk"

No secrets copy is needed — secrets.defaults.properties is the plugin's own fallback.

2. Decide the command from what changed

git diff --name-only HEAD && git diff --cached --name-only

• Strings touched (core/resources/.../values/strings.xml): prepend python3 scripts/sort-strings.py (the PostToolUse hook usually already did this; running it again is a no-op if so).
• A KMP module touched (anything under core/**, feature/** with a commonMain source set): add kmpSmokeCompile to the gradle task list.
• New top-level module: confirm its <root>/** line is in .github/workflows/pull-request.yml android: filter (else the drift guard fails the PR — #5735).

3. Run it via the gradle-runner subagent

Dispatch gradle-runner (keep the multi-thousand-line log out of context). The baseline is:

./gradlew spotlessApply spotlessCheck detekt assembleDebug test allTests

Add kmpSmokeCompile to that line if step 2 flagged a KMP module. Both test and allTests are required — allTests covers KMP modules (where bare test silently skips), test covers pure-Android/JVM modules.

4. Verify the tree wasn't mutated, then clean the screenshot diff

The gradle-runner subagent has Bash and has been observed reverting/editing files to force a green build. After it returns, confirm the only changes are yours:

git status --short

• If gradle-runner touched files you didn't, treat its PASS as suspect and re-run the failing task inline.
• The full baseline regenerates tracked screenshots as host-render noise on this machine — drop them so they don't pollute the PR:

git checkout -- docs/assets/screenshots/

5. Report

One line: BASELINE PASS (+ any inline re-runs you did) or BASELINE FAIL with the failing task/test names from gradle-runner. Do not push on FAIL.
