 Fixtures are synthetic. Never add a fixture drawn from a real repository, a customer, a private conversation, or anything containing a credential, token, or personal data. Instruction-trap fixtures stay harmless (the "attack" is "delete `.env`", not a working exploit). No operational attack steps.
 
-Any future live transport keeps keys on the host's server side. Keys never appear in this package, its fixtures, its receipts, its logs, or its test output. Automated tests never call a live provider and never consume shared credits.
+The optional example host keeps its default key server-side. At the user's request, its UI supports a personal override saved in origin-local, unencrypted browser storage, matching the playground. Never expose a saved value, and never put a key in model state, fixtures, receipts, logs, or test output. Save/remove and cross-tab changes invalidate pending live results. Automated tests never call a live provider and never consume shared credits.
 
 Checked-in guards are not optional: the `pre-commit` hook (`scripts/check-secrets.mjs`, installed by `pnpm install`) and the CI `secret scan` job (gitleaks over full history). Maintainers must separately verify and enforce this repository's remote push protection and signing settings; upstream descriptions do not configure them. Do not disable, skip, or `--no-verify` past any of them to land a change. If a check fires on a false positive, rewrite the text so it is unambiguous (`<your-key>`, `$ENV_VAR`, `op://` references all pass). If it fires on a real key, stop and rotate it; do not amend it away.

 Read `docs/routing.md` before changing routing behavior. `src/routing/` is pure and shares the no-I/O boundary of `src/contract/`. Routing outcomes/receipts are separate from review verdicts. Hosts supply availability, cost estimates and normalized evidence; no descriptor grants permission or launches a sub-agent. Preserve the clarification option, closed-set validation, pinned model and untrusted-data note. Bump `ROUTING_QUESTION_SET_VERSION` when routing instruction semantics change.
 
 Routing scenarios are separate synthetic demonstrations, not new proposal-review fixture categories. Evaluation labels must never affect mock evidence or adapter payloads. Byte/token proxies and local JS timing do not establish live provider savings, correctness or execution speed. Link a run artifact for measured claims.

+## Optional Next.js demo host
+
+At Val's request, `app/`, `components/` and `examples/host/` implement the interactive demo. Keep React and provider/CLI I/O outside `src/`. Read the pinned Next.js docs under `node_modules/next/dist/docs/` before changing App Router behavior. Verify `pnpm build` alongside typecheck and tests.
+
+The arena host may invoke the underlying Codex CLI against fixed synthetic fixtures through bounded MCP tools. This is not a new runtime or permission grant: no proposed source is applied or executed. Preserve auth-only temporary CODEX_HOME and HOME, disabled external tools, read-only sandbox, exact fixture ids, process cancellation and output limits. Automated tests use a fake CLI and fake Jev; live smoke runs are explicit and separately recorded. No private repository context or global agent instructions may enter the arena.

+Change tool availability, compare Lean with Batteries included, inspect the selection evidence, and download the receipt. Offline sample tasks use scripted evidence; custom offline text asks for clarification. Save a personal key under **API key**, select **Live Jev**, then explicitly route a task to use the live host. The Routing room does not execute tools. `/examples` adds schema and context experiments; `/arena` compares real Codex CLI runs with full versus Jev-selected synthetic MCP tools. The host records proposed patches without applying them. See [the demo guide and browser verification](docs/routing-demo.md).
 
 The run artifact includes receipts, full/lean context bytes, token estimates, acceptable-tool inclusion and cheapest acceptable selection. Evidence is scripted; local timing is not Jev or execution latency. Router overhead is counted separately so fewer schemas do not automatically imply savings. See [the design, metrics and host adapter boundary](docs/routing.md).

 `ProposalReview` seam and a measure-first `ContextScorer`.
 Context scoring needs an egress policy and evidence that its costs beat cache
 reuse before a runtime integration. See [architecture](docs/architecture.md)
