the tables, the API and the YAML `catalog:` key are unchanged. A collection
can be started empty and its products, sets and scenarios added, edited and
deleted in place (prompt, notes as the rubric, expected tools, contains and
never-contains, tags, enabled, production-only), each change validated as an
import validates a document. The **Generate** tab picks a project, runs the
explorer in its sandbox's browser beside the live view, and accepts its
proposals (the same records as the project's Explorations) into a chosen
set. A collection, or any products, sets and scenarios checked, exports as
YAML to download or copy; an import (pasted, uploaded or from a repository)
previews by key what it creates, overwrites, removes or keeps before it
writes, and in the dashboard keeps what the document leaves out by default.
- **Fix a failed project boot with Claude Code** (`actionagent`). When a
project's boot fails with its checkout kept, on a backend that runs Claude
Code and resumes boots, and the owner's Claude Code is connected,
`ActionAgent::ProjectBootFix` starts a Claude Code session in the checkout
with the failed step, the boot's error and the end of the step's log (the
project's secrets masked, the log fenced as data, not instructions), asking
for the smallest change. The session may run `bundle install`, `lock` and
`update`, `gem search`, `list` and `info`, `git status` and `diff`, and
`npm`/`yarn install` when a JavaScript step failed, and nothing else. When
it changes files the boot resumes from the failed step and the files join
the install pull request (the secret scan and the `.github/` exclusion
still apply); when it changes nothing the boot stays failed with Claude
Code's answer. Claude Code goes first and the setup assistant after it,
sharing "Start it when a boot fails" and the three automatic attempts.
`POST /api/projects/:id/setup/claude_code` starts one by hand, and the
project's Setup card follows the session live.

### Changed

- **Confirm destructive actions in the dashboard's own dialog**
(`actionagent`). Every `window.confirm` is gone: a `useConfirm()` dialog
(an `alertdialog` with a focus trap, Escape to cancel and focus starting on
Cancel) asks instead, and deleting a project, an agent, an evaluation or a
scenario collection asks for its name to be typed first.
- **New project shows the repository first** (`actionagent`). The repository
picker heads the page and the capabilities checklist folds to one line,
opening itself when something blocks; each fix the checklist names links to
where it is made.
- **The install pull request never publishes a local gem path**
(`actionagent`). A Gemfile or lockfile change that newly points a gem at a
path outside the repository is refused.
- **Transcripts leave out hook, thinking and rate-limit events**
(`actionagent`). A code session's transcript shows what Claude Code did.
- **Releases check the browser sidecar against npm** (release workflow).
`@activeagents/browser-sidecar` is staged through npm trusted publishing
(`npm stage publish`, approved by a maintainer with 2FA), and a release
fails when `browser-sidecar/` differs from the version already on npm.
- **Keep the shared Playwright MCP browser out of multi-tenant installs**
(`actionagent`). With `multi_tenant = true` the toolbox's `playwright_mcp`
tools are neither offered nor called, and `PlaywrightMCPClient.instance`
