CLERK AUTH: REAL RUN EVIDENCE

Context
-------
Capture: cap-d5d2a4ca6bea, recorded 2026-08-04 in the Clerk auth demo.
Published excerpt: 42.383 seconds, with one disclosed editorial jump.

Instruction
-----------
Presence was configured as an attentive ambient companion: notice sustained
evidence plus a meaningful silence, offer one gentle and specific check-in,
and use private visual inspection when the shared screen would help. It was not
told the Clerk bug or the fix.

Observed surfaces
-----------------
- Participant camera and coarse visible-affect state.
- Shared Teams window containing the local Clerk application, browser error,
  developer console, and middleware.ts.
- Presence's own rendered camera and synchronized spoken output.
- No artifact surface was active in this excerpt.

What happened
-------------
The participant hesitated. Presence checked in. Later, after the participant
showed middleware.ts and asked it to look, Presence requested a fresh frame,
read the matcher, and explained that /dashboard was excluded.

Accuracy note: the audio recognizer finalized the participant's initial sound
as "Hmm." Do not describe the entire inspection as unprompted. The check-in was
proactive; the later pixel inspection followed the participant's request.

Transcript (excerpt clock; source clock in parentheses)
-------------------------------------------------------
00:00.000-00:01.890  (01:11.056-01:12.946)  Saurabh: Hmm.
00:01.893-00:07.733  (01:12.949-01:18.789)  Presence: Anything on your mind with the auth setup? Let me know if you'd like me to take a look.

[EDIT: 02:33.811 omitted; source jumps from 01:18.789 to 03:52.600.]

00:07.758-00:12.250  (03:52.625-03:57.117)  Saurabh: Yeah, look, it's right here. It's open.
00:12.250              (03:57.117)           Event: visual inspection dispatched.
00:14.774              (03:59.641)           Event: fresh shared-window frame requested.
00:14.958              (03:59.825)           Event: frame received (184 ms).
00:19.288              (04:04.155)           Event: analysis returned (7.038 s after dispatch).
00:20.525-00:42.383  (04:05.392-04:27.250)  Presence: Your middleware.ts is exporting clerkMiddleware() correctly, but the matcher is excluding the /dashboard route. Remove dashboard| from the exclusion list or add an explicit '/dashboard/:path*' pattern, then restart the dev server. That should let Clerk handle the dashboard request without the 500 error.

Result
------
The participant removed dashboard from the matcher exclusion. In the retained
full-session transcript at 04:36.806, the participant said: "Hey, look at that,
it works."

Measurements and provenance
---------------------------
- Participant feedback at capture t=70.451 s: face visible; camera on; screen
  not shared; coarse label neutral at confidence 0.694. The reaction is visible
  in the recording, but the classifier did not label it "confused."
- Tool dispatch, visual-evidence request/receipt, and completion timings come
  from the linked voice telemetry session pcm-f0fcf37139f9, aligned to the
  capture by the recorded voice-session link at +1.6128 s.
- Spoken words come from transcript.jsonl; caption placement uses VAD/TTS event
  bounds and the retained audio, not estimated wall-clock narration.
- Privacy review of the selected frames found localhost URLs, demo source code,
  and Clerk development warnings. No credential value or private external URL
  is visible.
