Story 15-1 lands **GAP-only scope** across **4 pure-function surfaces** (no source-module modifications — test-only): **(1) NEW [`src/lib/__tests__/srs.test.ts`](src/lib/__tests__/srs.test.ts)** (14 cases) pins the full SM-2 algorithm contract — 3 incorrect-response cases (quality 0/1/2 ease-factor deltas −0.80/−0.54/−0.32 + reset to `repetitions=0`, `intervalDays=1`); 3 correct-response cases (quality 3/4/5 ease-factor deltas −0.14/0/+0.10 + interval progression 1 → 6 → round(prev × ef)); 3 ease-factor 1.3-floor clamping cases (boundary + already-at-floor + just-above-floor); 3-consecutive-correct chain verification; 365-day interval cap; midnight-snap `nextReview` math via Date.now() before/after delta check; no-mutation invariant via input-snapshot equality + determinism via twice-call equivalence. **(2) NEW [`src/lib/__tests__/pronunciation.test.ts`](src/lib/__tests__/pronunciation.test.ts)** (10 cases) pins `identifyWeakSounds` contract — empty input + no-weak happy path + below-threshold-but-count<3 NOT flagged + single-phoneme-aggregated-across-results + same-phoneme-aggregated-across-words-in-one-result + threshold boundaries (`avgScore < 70` strict + `count >= 3` boundary) + multi-phoneme ranking ASCENDING by avgScore (worst first) + no-mutation deep-equal. **(3) NEW [`src/lib/__tests__/cache.test.ts`](src/lib/__tests__/cache.test.ts)** (20 cases) covers the AsyncStorage path (existing `cache-flush.test.ts` covers write-queue idempotency; existing `cache-secure-routing.test.ts` covers the Story 12-7 SecureStore fork) — `getCache` empty/fresh/TTL-fresh-boundary/TTL-expired-boundary/corrupted-JSON/throw paths each with `captureError` routing pinned; `setCache` envelope shape `{data, timestamp, ttlMs}` + DEFAULT_TTL_MS (1 hour) fallback + namespacing `@companion_cache:<userId>:<key>` (different userIds never collide); `setCache` → `getCache` round-trip with nested object structure; `invalidateCache` happy + error paths; `cacheWithFallback` 4-path matrix (fetcher-succeeds-writes-cache, fetcher-throws-stale-cache-hit-returns-fromCache:true, fetcher-throws-no-cache-rethrows-original, fetcher-throws-cache-also-throws-captures-fallback-read-error-rethrows-original); constant pins for `CACHE_KEYS` (5 keys) + `CACHE_TTL` (6 durations) + `SECURE_CACHE_KEYS` size===1 with PROFILE in / SKILLS+VOCABULARY out. **(4) NEW [`src/hooks/__tests__/use-dictation-compare.test.ts`](src/hooks/__tests__/use-dictation-compare.test.ts)** (15 cases) pins the pure word-by-word `compareSentences` helper from [`src/hooks/use-dictation.ts:88`](src/hooks/use-dictation.ts#L88) (despite living in a hook file, the function is pure — no React, no async, no side effects, so it fits 15-1 scope). Test mocks `@/src/hooks/use-audio-player` (transitive `expo-audio` native crash in Jest) + `@/src/lib/openai` (transitive supabase chain) at module load to keep the import boundary clean.

+# Story 15.4: Golden-flow E2E (Maestro skeleton flows + operator runbook)
+
+Status: review
+
+## Story
+
+As **a developer**, I want **5 Maestro YAML flow files documenting the golden user flows (sign-up / onboarding / first exercise / first conversation / partial mock test → review)** so that **an operator can execute end-to-end smoke tests locally + we have the structural framework for wiring Maestro into CI when simulator/emulator infrastructure is set up**.
+
+## Background
+
+[`shippable-roadmap.md`](_bmad-output/planning-artifacts/shippable-roadmap.md) line 296 — Epic 15.4 deliverable: "Golden-flow E2E with Detox or Maestro — sign-up → onboarding → 1 exercise → 1 conversation → mock test partial → review."
+
+**Operator pre-decision (autopilot batch kickoff):** **Maestro** chosen over Detox per the spec's recommended default — faster iteration, simpler YAML config, no Xcode/Android Studio project-level integration required.
+
+### Why SKELETON-ONLY scope
+
+Maestro requires a running iOS Simulator OR Android Emulator + a built app binary + Maestro CLI installed locally. None of these are available in the autopilot session. The cleanest scope-cut: ship the YAML flow files + operator runbook + drift detector; defer CI wiring to a follow-up after the operator sets up the simulator/emulator infrastructure on a dedicated runner.
+
+Maestro flow YAMLs are usable AS-IS by the operator once they install the CLI (`curl -Ls "https://get.maestro.mobile.dev" | bash`).
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+### AC-A: 5 Maestro flow YAML files
+
+1. NEW `.maestro/config.yaml` declaring the app id (matches `app.json` bundleIdentifier / package name).
+2. NEW `.maestro/01-signup-flow.yaml` — sign-up via email/password → email-verification screen.
+3. NEW `.maestro/02-onboarding-flow.yaml` — 3-step onboarding wizard → placement test → home.
+4. NEW `.maestro/03-first-exercise.yaml` — practice tab → grammar/vocabulary → complete 1 MCQ exercise.
+5. NEW `.maestro/04-first-conversation.yaml` — conversation tab → topic select → start session → grant mic → speak → end.
+6. NEW `.maestro/05-mock-test-partial-review.yaml` — mock-test tab → start full sim → complete listening section → submit (partial) → view results.
+
+Each flow file:
+- Documents EXPECTED steps with `# TODO: verify selector` markers where the testID/accessibilityLabel needs operator verification against the actual app screens
+- Uses `assertVisible`, `tapOn`, `inputText` Maestro commands
+
+### AC-B: Operator runbook
+
+7. NEW `_bmad-output/planning-artifacts/runbooks/maestro-e2e-setup.md` documenting:
+   - Install Maestro CLI
+   - Set up iOS Simulator + Android Emulator
+   - Build a development client via `npx expo run:ios` / `npx expo run:android`
+   - Run flows locally: `maestro test .maestro/`
+   - Test account requirements
+   - Selector-verification workflow (`maestro studio` for interactive selector picking)
+   - Wire into CI procedure (deferred; documented for when operator infrastructure is ready)
+
+### AC-C: Drift detector
+
+8. NEW `src/lib/__tests__/maestro-flows-source-drift.test.ts` (≥4 cases) reading `.maestro/` dir:
+   - POSITIVE: 5 expected flow files exist with canonical names
+   - POSITIVE: each flow has a non-empty body
+   - POSITIVE: `.maestro/config.yaml` exists with the canonical appId
+   - NEGATIVE: no flow file is empty / placeholder-only (gap detection)
+
+### AC-D: Quality gates + cross-story
+
+9. All 5 design-system gates green.
+10. **Net test growth:** **+4 to +6 net Jest cases** (drift detector only — Maestro flows execute outside Jest).
+11. **No CI workflow changes** (deferred to `15-4-followup-maestro-ci-wiring`).
+12. **0 source-module modifications.**
+
+## Operator Decisions
+
+| Q | Question | Recommended |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Q1 | Maestro vs Detox? | **Maestro** — pre-decided at autopilot kickoff |
+| Q2 | Wire CI now or defer? | **Defer** — needs simulator/emulator infrastructure. File `15-4-followup-maestro-ci-wiring`. |
+| Q3 | Inline selector hard-coding vs operator-verify TODO markers? | **TODO markers** — selectors must be verified against the actual app via `maestro studio`; hardcoding without verification is hope-driven |
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+- CI wiring (deferred)
+- Actually-running the flows in this session (no simulator/emulator access)
+- Selector verification (operator action; `maestro studio` workflow documented in runbook)
+
+## Tasks / Subtasks
+
+- [x] Task 1: 5 Maestro YAML flow files + `.maestro/config.yaml`
+- [x] Task 2: Operator runbook
+- [x] Task 3: Drift detector test
+- [x] Task 4: Quality gates + CLAUDE.md paragraph + sprint-status

+# Maestro E2E Setup Runbook
+
+**Owner:** qa-engineer / operator
+**Story:** 15-4 (Skeleton flows shipped 2026-05-17; CI wiring deferred to `15-4-followup-maestro-ci-wiring`)
+
+---
+
+## What is this?
+
+Story 15-4 shipped 5 Maestro YAML flow skeletons covering the 5 golden user flows:
+1. `01-signup-flow.yaml` — sign-up → EmailVerificationGate (Story 12-9)
+2. `02-onboarding-flow.yaml` — sign-in → onboarding wizard → placement test → home
+3. `03-first-exercise.yaml` — Practice tab → Grammar → AI exercise → grade
+4. `04-first-conversation.yaml` — Conversation tab → topic → start session → end
+5. `05-mock-test-partial-review.yaml` — Mock test → TCF full sim → submit partial → results
+
+**All flows carry `# TODO: verify selector` markers** because the testID / accessibilityLabel / text strings need to be confirmed against the actual running app via `maestro studio`. Until this verification pass is done, the flows are documentation, not executable.
+
+---
+
+## Step 1 — Install Maestro CLI
+
+```bash
+curl -Ls "https://get.maestro.mobile.dev" | bash
+```
+
+Verify:
+
+```bash
+maestro --version
+```
+
+Expected: latest version (Maestro is updated frequently; pin via `maestro install latest` if needed).
+
+---
+
+## Step 2 — Set up iOS Simulator
+
+Maestro requires Xcode + the iOS Simulator app. On a development machine:
+
+```bash
+# Check available simulators
+xcrun simctl list devices
+
+# Boot a simulator (e.g., iPhone 16 Pro running iOS 18)
+xcrun simctl boot "iPhone 16 Pro"
+
+# Open Simulator.app
+open -a Simulator
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 3 — Build a development client
+
+Maestro tests the BUILT app, not the Expo Go shell. Build a dev client:
+
+```bash
+cd /Users/simplemart/Development/projects/personal/companion
+npx expo run:ios --device "iPhone 16 Pro"
+```
+
+This installs `com.companion.app` on the booted simulator + starts Metro.
+
+For Android:
+
+```bash
+npx expo run:android
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 4 — Verify selectors with `maestro studio`
+
+`maestro studio` launches an interactive UI where you can tap on the running app and Maestro extracts the testID / accessibilityLabel / text for each element:
+
+```bash
+maestro studio
+```
+
+Walk through each of the 5 flows in `studio`. For each `# TODO: verify selector` marker in the YAML, replace with the actual selector studio shows. Common patterns:
+- `tapOn: "Sign in"` works if the button has accessibilityLabel "Sign in"
+- `tapOn: { id: "input-email" }` works if the TextInput has testID "input-email"
+- If neither matches, add the testID to the React Native component source first
+
+---
+
+## Step 5 — Seed test accounts
+
+Each flow uses an env-var-injected test email:
+- `e2e-test+signup-001@invalid.localdomain`
+- `e2e-test+onboarding-001@invalid.localdomain`
+- `e2e-test+exercise-001@invalid.localdomain`
+- `e2e-test+conversation-001@invalid.localdomain`
+- `e2e-test+mocktest-001@invalid.localdomain`
+
+Flows 2-5 assume these accounts already exist + are email-verified. Seed via:
+
+**Option A (recommended):** Supabase Studio → Auth → Users → Add user (with verified flag).
+
+**Option B:** Run a one-off seed script:
+
+```ts
+// scripts/seed-maestro-test-accounts.ts
+import { createClient } from "@supabase/supabase-js";
+const supabase = createClient(SUPABASE_URL, SERVICE_ROLE_KEY);
+for (const i of [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) {
+  await supabase.auth.admin.createUser({
+    email: `e2e-test+${flow}-00${i}@invalid.localdomain`,
+    password: "Abcdefghi1",
+    email_confirm: true,
+  });
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 6 — Run flows locally
+
+```bash
+# All flows
+maestro test .maestro/
+
+# Single flow
+maestro test .maestro/03-first-exercise.yaml
+
+# By tag
+maestro test --include-tags=smoke .maestro/
+```
+
+Maestro outputs pass/fail per flow + writes a video of each run (helpful for debugging selector failures).
+
+---
+
+## Step 7 — Wire into CI (deferred)
+
+When the operator is ready to wire CI, see `15-4-followup-maestro-ci-wiring`. CI setup requires:
+
+1. **Runner with simulator support** — macOS runner for iOS (paid GitHub Actions tier) OR an external service like BrowserStack / Maestro Cloud.
+2. **Pre-built `.app` binary** — produced by `eas build --profile development --platform ios` and stored as a workflow artifact.
+3. **Maestro CLI install step** — `curl -Ls https://get.maestro.mobile.dev | bash` in CI script.
+4. **Test account env vars** — `MAESTRO_TEST_EMAIL_SIGNUP` / `_ONBOARDING` / `_EXERCISE` / `_CONVERSATION` / `_MOCKTEST` (+ `MAESTRO_TEST_PASSWORD`) as GitHub Actions secrets.
+5. **Workflow step:** `maestro test .maestro/`
+
+Do NOT mark the CI step `continue-on-error: true` (Story 12-10 R1-H2 silent-disable defense). If E2E coverage isn't ready for CI gating, leave the step out of `ci.yml` entirely — partial gating is a footgun.
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `maestro test` exits 1 with "element not found" | testID drift OR text drift after a UI refactor | Re-run `maestro studio`, update the YAML's selector |
+| Permission dialog blocks Flow 4 | mic-permission dialog timing | Add a delay before the `tapOn: "OK"` for the system dialog |
+| Flow 2 times out at placement test | AI generation > 120s | Increase `extendedWaitUntil.timeout` in the YAML; investigate prompt complexity |
+| Flow 4 fails on Realtime connection | OpenAI Realtime API outage OR Edge Function rate-limit | Check Supabase logs for `realtime-session` errors |

plus 3 runbook gaps. SKELETON scope preserved.

HIGH:
- BH-1: Flow 1 asserted PRE-Story-14-1 French gate text. Per
  Story 14-1 R1-Q5, EmailVerificationGate was converted to English
  (verified against EmailVerificationGate.tsx:314+352). Corrected
  to "Verify your email address" + "I've verified — refresh".
- BH-2: Tab labels in flows 4 + 5 did not match
  app/(tabs)/_layout.tsx 'title' values. The bottom-tab labels
  are "Talk" (line 61) and "TCF Test" (line 97), not
  "Conversation" / "Mock test" (those are headerTitle values,
  different surface). Corrected both flows.
- BH-3: Flow 1 referenced 'input-password-confirm' but signup.tsx
  has ONE password field. Deleted the 3-line confirm block —
  delete-don't-alias pattern; operator runbook §5 documents the
  single-password contract.

MED:
- EH-4: Flow 4 mic-permission used iOS-only 'tapOn: "OK"' which
  fails on Android (Android dialog is "Allow" / "While using the
  app" / "Only this time"). Switched to Maestro's
  'launchApp.permissions: { record_audio: allow }' directive which
  bypasses the system dialog entirely AND works cross-platform.

Runbook (R1 EH-1 + EH-3 + EH-5):
- Section 5 gains a Story 12-9 email-confirmation precheck:
  before running Flow 1, verify the Supabase project has the
  'Confirm email' toggle ON via a curl-vs-jq one-liner. If OFF,
  Flow 1 dead-ends because the gate never renders.
- Section 5 gains Flow 1 re-run cleanup guidance — 4 options
  ranging from manual Studio delete to per-run email suffix
  randomization via MAESTRO_RUN_ID env-var.
- Section 5 hoists password to MAESTRO_TEST_PASSWORD env-var
  single source of truth — future Story 12-8 policy tightening
  updates one place (runbook + seed script).

Deferred (filed as follow-ups):
- 15-4-followup-add-testids (BH-4 — needs source edit)
- 15-4-followup-yaml-vs-ts-constants-drift (EH-2 — drift detector
  cross-checking hardcoded times: 15/29 vs TCF constants)
- 15-4-followup-appid-cross-check (EH-7 — config.yaml vs app.json)
- 15-4-followup-mcq-correct-incorrect-alternation (EH-8 — RNG)

Story file housekeeping: Status: review → done; populated Dev Agent
Record per Acceptance Auditor APPROVE_WITH_NOTES.

No net test count change (drift tests unchanged at 5/5). All 4
quality gates green: type-check 0 / lint 0 / prettier clean /
jest 2164 tests pass.

 ## Step 5 — Seed test accounts
 
+### Prerequisites — verify Story 12-9 email-verification gate is ON
+
+**R1 EH-3 precheck:** Flow 1 asserts the EmailVerificationGate appears after signup. This requires the Supabase project to have **Authentication → Providers → Email → "Confirm email" toggled ON** (per the Story 12-9 runbook). If your test environment was created with the toggle OFF (or you followed the 12-9 rollback procedure), Flow 1 will dead-end because the new user is routed straight to onboarding — the gate never renders.
+
+Verify with:
+
+```bash
+# Quick precheck — signup against the project; response body should
+# carry `email_confirmed_at: null` (gate active) AND no session token
+# (gate is gating session establishment).
+curl -X POST "$SUPABASE_URL/auth/v1/signup" \
+  -H "apikey: $SUPABASE_ANON_KEY" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"email":"precheck-12-9@invalid.localdomain","password":"Abcdefghi1"}' | jq '.user.email_confirmed_at, .session'
+```
+
+If `email_confirmed_at` is not null OR a `session` object is present, the gate is OFF — toggle it ON in the Supabase Dashboard before running Flow 1.
+
+### Test accounts
+
 Each flow uses an env-var-injected test email:
-- `e2e-test+signup-001@invalid.localdomain`

+**Flows 2–5 assume these accounts already exist + are email-verified + have completed onboarding.** The Flow 1 account is created fresh on each run (which means re-running Flow 1 against the same Supabase project requires per-run cleanup — see "Flow 1 re-run cleanup" below).
+
+**Password single source of truth (R1 EH-5):** All flows reference `${TEST_PASSWORD}` via Maestro env-var. The seed script + flow files all consume the same `MAESTRO_TEST_PASSWORD` env var when set; the default value `Abcdefghi1` is hardcoded for convenience. If Story 12-8's `MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH` tightens above 10 in the future, update the env var default in this runbook + the seed script — the flow files inherit via `${TEST_PASSWORD}`.
+
+```bash
+export MAESTRO_TEST_PASSWORD="Abcdefghi1"  # must satisfy Story 12-8 policy
+maestro test --env TEST_PASSWORD=$MAESTRO_TEST_PASSWORD .maestro/

+
+### Flow 1 re-run cleanup (R1 EH-1)
+
+Flow 1 creates the `e2e-test+signup-001@invalid.localdomain` account fresh. **A second invocation against the same Supabase project fails on "user already exists"** because the email is unique-indexed. Pick one of:
+
+1. **Delete the account between runs** (manual): Supabase Studio → Auth → Users → search `signup-001` → Delete.
+2. **Delete the account between runs** (scripted): `supabase auth users delete <user_id>` via the CLI.
+3. **Randomize the email suffix** (cleanest): edit Flow 1 to use `e2e-test+signup-${MAESTRO_RUN_ID}@invalid.localdomain` and pass `--env MAESTRO_RUN_ID=$(date +%s)` to `maestro test`. The signup gate accepts any unique email; the test asserts the gate state, not a specific email.
+4. **Skip Flow 1 on subsequent runs**: `maestro test --include-tags=smoke --exclude-tags=signup .maestro/`.
+
+### Seed Flows 2–5 (one-time setup)
