CLAUDE.md §3's rule was prose only for extension/ (GUI already has gui_no_download_logic as a ctest). eslint.config.mjs adds a no-restricted-syntax/no-restricted-globals rule banning fetch/XHR/Request, ReadableStream.getReader, Range/Content-Range header construction, and IndexedDB in src/**/*.ts. Verified red on a planted violation (fetch + Range header + stream reader) and green on ordinary code; that check is now a permanent regression test (tests/lint/no-download-logic.test.ts) rather than a one-off manual run. Wired into the existing extension-lint job in .github/workflows/ci.yml, ahead of web-ext lint. Generated protocol code (src/shared/protocol/**) is excluded from lint entirely — it must never be hand-edited, so flagging it as fixable would be a lie. Answers gui/docs/ext-requests-m1.md.

Build against tools/mockd over the WebSocket transport; veloxd is not required.
Transport quick start
import { createTransport } from './src/background/transport/index.js';
const t = await createTransport(); // reads the Options override; default 'auto'
t.onStateChange((s) => renderDot(s));
const rules = await t.call('capture.getRules', {});
createTransport resolves with a live, self-reconnecting transport. When veloxd is not
up yet it still resolves (WebSocket, status disconnected, retrying) — callers render the
red dot. It rejects only when the user explicitly forced native messaging and that failed.
Capture code treats every call() rejection as fail-open.
