- Frontend developers using coding agents
- Worth noticing
- The sample run reports seven unmeasured items and treats exit code 2 as invalid, never as a pass.
Field notes
The documented workflow installs a local CLI, sets up its browser driver, then runs `qa verify` and `qa show` from an app repository; the page also supplies archive hashes and platform-specific downloads. Its sample report separates static rules from browser sweeps and a deterministic graph, and labels seven items unmeasured rather than implying full coverage. The install notes exclude Windows and Alpine Linux.
