+- Executor: in-session Agent (haiku). Attempts: 1. Fix rounds: 0.
+- Orchestrator re-ran Verification: `p2p-transfer.js` and `p2p-recv-worker.js` byte-identical to the pre-tested versions; all frontend files pass `node --check`; 61 frontend tests pass; index.html references the new script once and sw.js twice; two-browser WebRTC check reproduced the expected JSON (5 MiB delivered and hash-verified, unknown cid `peer declined: not here`, corrupted holder `content hash mismatch` with no partial file left); full app load in Chromium: no JS errors, all globals present including `P2PTransfer`, share/receive on by default, device online. No leftover processes.
+- Orchestrator note: the executor's `npm`/`bun install` left an untracked root `bun.lock`; deleted before commit (not part of the plan).
+- Executor Findings (verbatim): All syntax checks passed (FRONT_OK). All unit tests passed (61 pass, 0 fail). Script inclusions correct: index.html has 1 entry, sw.js has 2 entries. P2P transfer test executed successfully with expected JSON output containing good/bad/corrupt test cases. New functions getFromPeers and offerPeerDownload added correctly to app.js. P2P transfer and recv worker files created by git patch successfully.
