+# Phase 06 Plan 05: Verification Gaps Closure Summary
+
+**Phase 06 最后一个 gap-closure 计划已收口：引用上限 10 的回归路径稳定可重复，DF-INPUT-009 不再因候选层/toast 定位抖动而失败。**
+
+## Performance
+
+- **Duration:** 12 min
+- **Started:** 2026-04-15T05:06:00Z
+- **Completed:** 2026-04-15T05:18:04Z
+- **Tasks:** 2
+- **Files modified:** 2
+
+## Accomplishments
+
+- 验证并确认 `input-box.tsx` 已满足上限 `10`、`DropdownMenu*` 链路与“文件名 + 类型 + 路径尾段”展示合同。
+- 稳定化 DF-INPUT-009：固定候选 key 选择路径、逐步数量断言、11th 阻止与 toast 断言。
+- 强化 E2E helper：候选面板开启重试、toast 定位去严格模式冲突，提升回归确定性。
+
+## Task Commits
+
+1. **Task 1: 对齐引用展示合同与上限 10** - 复核通过（本轮未新增代码改动）
+2. **Task 2: 移除永久 skip 并稳定化 DF-INPUT-008/009 回归** - 本轮改动在工作区完成（待与当前分支既有改动统一提交）
+
+## Files Created/Modified
+
+- `.planning/phases/06-/06-05-SUMMARY.md` - 记录 plan 05 执行与验证结果。
+- `frontend/tests/e2e/input-and-compose.spec.ts` - DF-INPUT-009 改为稳定 key 驱动的候选选择与计数断言。
+- `frontend/tests/e2e/support/chat-helpers.ts` - `openReferencePicker` 增加重试；`toastByText` 统一 `.first()`。
+
+## Decisions Made
+
+- 不回退 Phase 06 既有主链路实现，仅针对 verification gaps 做最小、可回归的测试稳定性修复。
+- 保留 DF-INPUT-008 的条件 skip 语义（仅在必需 thread/env 缺失时跳过），移除永久 skip 风险。
+
+## Deviations from Plan
+
+### Auto-fixed Issues
+
+**1. [Rule 1 - Bug] DF-INPUT-009 候选点击在 Dropdown 动画期不稳定**
+- **Found during:** Task 2 验证
+- **Issue:** 候选项在可见但重排中导致 click actionability 抖动，产生超时。
+- **Fix:** helper 增加开启重试；测试改用稳定 key + DOM click + 数量递增断言。
+- **Files modified:** `frontend/tests/e2e/input-and-compose.spec.ts`, `frontend/tests/e2e/support/chat-helpers.ts`
+- **Verification:** `pnpm -s test:e2e --grep "DF-INPUT-007|DF-INPUT-008|DF-INPUT-009"`（007/009 pass，008 conditional skip）
+- **Committed in:** N/A（当前分支存在并行未提交改动，待统一提交）
+
+---
+
+**Total deviations:** 1 auto-fixed (Rule 1: bug)
+**Impact on plan:** 修复仅针对回归稳定性，无范围膨胀，不影响已确认功能链路。
+
+## Issues Encountered
+
+- 并发 toast 与候选层动画导致 strict locator/actionability 偶发失败；已通过 helper 与断言收敛消除。
+
+## User Setup Required
+
+None - no external service configuration required.
+
+## Next Phase Readiness
+
+- `06-05` summary 已补齐，phase completeness 可推进到 phase-level verification。
+- ATREF-04 对应的自动化护栏已可回归运行（008 条件化、009 稳定通过）。
+
+## Self-Check: PASSED
+
+- FOUND: `.planning/phases/06-/06-05-SUMMARY.md`
+- VERIFIED: `node --test src/core/threads/hooks.test.ts` 通过
+- VERIFIED: `pnpm -s typecheck` 通过
+- VERIFIED: `pnpm -s test:e2e --grep "DF-INPUT-007|DF-INPUT-008|DF-INPUT-009"` → 007/009 pass, 008 conditional skip
