The outcome of a screenshot was decided in five unrelated places (the tally in Reporting, its side hashes for new/re-recorded captures, the HTML reporter, the report template, ScreenshotAssertion#validate), and captures that were not compared never became assertions at all. The matcher returned nil for them and tallied them on the side, and the registry dropped anything without a comparison. So reporters never saw new or re-recorded screenshots, although docs/reporters.md and docs/snapdiff.md said they did. Now every capture is a registered ScreenshotAssertion: - `status` is derived on each call, never memoized: :new when there is no comparison, :passed unless the comparison differs, :changed when it does, :rerecorded for a differing capture under `record: :all`. It reads `compare.difference` and never forces a comparison, so asking for a status stays cheap and free of side effects. `verdict` is `status` after judging: the one place that forces the comparison, used by `validate` and `failed_assertions`. The tally forces every comparison itself when the test ends, so reporters see settled ones. - The matcher is the single registrar. It registers the assertion it builds, including the compare-less :new one, before the `:none` raise (which stays immediate whatever `delayed` says). The DSL only calls validate! when immediate and returns `!assertion.compare.nil?`, so its return value is unchanged (false for a new screenshot). - `record_new_screenshot` stays callable (v1.13 API); it now builds and registers a :new assertion and keeps its "checked out then disappeared" raise. `new_screenshots` is derived from status; `failed_assertions` is status == :changed and not already validated. - AISimple triages only status == :changed; the documented reporter idiom and contract wording are updated to match. - Temporary: `record: :all` still discards the baseline, so its assertion has no comparison; `status` reads :rerecorded for that case through one explicit override that goes once :all compares. Immediate (delayed: false) assertions are registered by the same path, so they reach the tally and the reporters too. validate! marks an assertion as judged, so the registry's teardown pass does not fail it a second time. Not changed: the Reporting tallies (the matcher still calls record_missing_baseline / record_rerecorded_baseline), the summary line, the HTML report and template, the `:all` refusal under CI, and `:all` still not comparing.

Reviewer's GuideThe PR makes screenshot status the single source of truth by registering every capture as an assertion, refactors terminal/HTML/parallel reporting to aggregate those statuses, and changes record: :all to compare first while accepting and visibly reporting differences as re-recorded.

Why: a run's outcome travelled in two channels with two tally sites. Reporting.count tallied compared captures from their comparison, while the matcher tallied new and re-recorded captures on the side through record_missing_baseline / record_rerecorded_baseline (a new one in two matcher methods). Since every capture is a registered assertion with a derived status, none of that needs a second channel. Mechanism: - Reporting owns one store: @CountS (assertions per status, :new excluded) and @outcomes (a frozen Outcome row per name for :new and :rerecorded captures, first sighting wins). Reporting.count, called from notify at reset, is the only tally site. It reads each assertion's verdict before taking the mutex: the verdict forces a comparison nobody has run yet, and an assertion whose comparison raises is warned about by name and skipped on its own. store_outcome only stores; the "new" count is derived from the stored rows, so :new is counted once per name and :passed / :changed / :rerecorded once per assertion, with no per-status special case at the callers. - The row type, which only ever held uncompared captures, is now called Outcome (name, path, status): it also lists re-recorded ones, and under `record: :all` compared ones. `Reporting.uncompared` keeps its name and returns them (new first, then re-recorded). The docs that named the row's old `reason` say `status`. - verified / changed / missing_baselines_count / the summary lines read the store. - record_missing_baseline(name, path:) and record_rerecorded_baseline stay callable as thin shims writing into the same store, and still return true on a name's first sighting. (record_rerecorded_baseline meant "re-recorded, not verified" in beta4; its comment says that it now counts as verified and changed, once `:all` compares. Only the matcher ever called it, and no longer does.) - The matcher no longer tallies. "Warn once per screenshot" for a missing committed baseline now keys on the session's :new assertions instead of the process-wide tally, so it is once per name per test rather than once per name per run. The "checked out then disappeared" guard stays only in AssertionRegistry#record_new_screenshot, which the matcher calls. - Parallel fragment: a worker writes its "counts" hash plus the listed rows ("outcomes"); the parent sums the counts and merges the rows. The name lists and the verified / changed arithmetic are gone, and so are the readers for them. Fragments are only ever written by forks of the process that merges them, so they always carry this version's shape -- and install_parallel_hooks!, which runs in the parent before any fork, now empties the fragments directory, which is what makes that true: a run killed before its merge no longer leaves fragments that a recycled pid would hand to a later run (counts from another run, or a KeyError in after_run that cost the whole summary). A key that is missing (KeyError) or a status nobody writes (ArgumentError) is a bug and raises instead of being half-understood. - The HTML reporter is untouched: it keeps counting the compared assertions it records and handing that total to the parent in its own state, so it still works on its own (record + finalize, no Reporting.count behind it). Proof of neutrality: the same scenario (compared pass / change / dimension change, a new and a re-recorded capture, through notify and finalize!) printed the same four summary lines and wrote a byte-identical HTML report before and after, and bin/rake report:sample wrote a byte-identical report. bin/rake test:unit: 839 runs, 0 failures. Not changed: summary wording, :all semantics (still discards the baseline and compares nothing), the report template and entry shape, public method signatures. Within one run a name that is both new and re-recorded now has one row instead of one per reason.

`record: :all` used to fetch no baseline and compare nothing, so a run lumped changed, unchanged and new screenshots together as "re-recorded" and the report could only count them. Every update mode of the tools surveyed (Playwright, Jest, BackstopJS `approve`, reg-cli, Chromatic) compares first and decides from the result; only VCR's `:all`, whose HTTP cassettes have no notion of a difference, records blind. Now `:all` is `:once` that accepts instead of fails. The baseline is checked out from git and compared in every mode, and the comparison only labels the capture: - status: differs under `:all` => `:rerecorded`; matches => `:passed`; no baseline => `:new`. The run never raises for a difference. - `:passed` calls `archive_baseline!` in every mode, so committed bytes are restored and no `.base.png` is left; a `:rerecorded` capture keeps the usual `.base.png`/diff/heatmap artifacts (gitignored by the recommended `.gitignore`, which the re-record summary now says). - Reporting: verified and changed both include re-recorded; `uncompared` lists `:new` only (re-recorded ones were compared). - One vocabulary on both outputs: the terminal says `3 changed (3 re-recorded)`, and the report's title and pill say the same instead of "failures" / "failed" next to a separate re-recorded pill. - HTML report: one entry per non-passed assertion, each with a `status` (changed|new|rerecorded) replacing `new_screenshot`. An entry the report could not build keeps its real status and carries an `error` beside it, so the report and the terminal count the same things (a new screenshot that fails to render is still "1 new", not "1 changed"). The reporter still counts the compared assertions it records, so a standalone reporter's numbers are never negative. The template reads `item.status` directly and shows a re-recorded badge. Still one static file. HTML#changed_entries / #changed_count carry the visible vocabulary; #failures / #failed stay as shims for the beta4 names. - The re-record summary offers `git restore -- <path>` to discard. - AI triage (AISimple) still only runs for `:changed`: a re-recorded screenshot is accepted without analysis, on purpose; docs/reporters.md says so. Summary line, before (one screenshot that differs, under `:all`): [snap_diff] 0 verified, 0 changed, 0 new (not verified). 1 re-recorded (not verified). after: [snap_diff] 1 verified, 1 changed (1 re-recorded), 0 new (not verified). (the parenthesis appears only when something was re-recorded; otherwise the line is byte-identical to before). A bootstrap run where everything is new still prints NOTHING WAS VERIFIED. A difference that comes from a missing input (the capture vanished before the comparison) stays `:changed` in every mode: there is nothing on disk for `:all` to accept, and "re-recorded" would tell the user to `git add` a path that no longer exists. Not changed: the refusal of `:all` under CI (only its message, which no longer says nothing is compared); the report stays static.

What changes
Every capture becomes a

Everything downstream reads it.niland was tallied on the side, andAssertionRegistry#add_assertiondropped anything without a comparison). Reporters now receive every assertion;compareis nil only for:new, whichdocs/reporters.mdalready describes.count; summary anduncomparedderive from it. The parallel fragment iscounts + rowssummed on merge; the fragments directory is emptied before any fork. The HTML reporter counts the statuses it receives. Shipped methods (record_missing_baseline,record_rerecorded_baseline,missing_baselines_count,record_new_screenshot,failures/failed) stay as thin shims. Byte-identical output under:once/:none.record: :allcompares before re-recording and reports what changed.:allfetches the committed baseline and compares like:once; a difference is accepted as:rerecorded(capture kept, diff artifacts written), a match keeps the committed bytes, a missing baseline is:new. Summary:N verified, C changed (R re-recorded), K new (not verified). Report entries carrystatus; re-recorded entries reuse the Baseline / Current / Heatmap views with a badge. An entry the report could not build keeps its status and carries anerror, and a capture that vanished before the comparison renders from the difference alone (no dependency on which caller processed it).Why merge
Reporting.count, two side tallies,HTML#record, the template's key inference,validate). The matcher loses ~50 lines; adding a status later (e.g. for a baseline whose test no longer exists) is one more symbol.:allcan answer the question a bulk re-record raises: which of these N files actually changed. Every comparable tool's update mode (Playwright--update-snapshots, Jest-u, BackstopJSapprove, reg-cli-U, Chromatic, Percy) compares first and reports per file;:allwas the only one that did not.Drawbacks
:allnow pays onegit showand one comparison per screenshot, the same cost:oncepays on every run. Measured: 40 differing pairs, 0.14 s → 1.25 s in the DSL stub; browser capture dominates real runs.:allleaves.base.<fmt>,.diffand.heatmapfiles beside each re-recorded screenshot, as a failing:oncerun does. The recommended.gitignorecovers them; the summary says so.new_screenshotis replaced bystatus;Reporting::Uncompared#reasonbecomesOutcome#status(both post-beta4, unreleased); the "no committed baseline" warning fires once per name per test instead of once per process.Not changed
