 - The local render server behind `/make-pdf`, `/diagram`, and design previews serves one per-render secret URL, never follows a symlink out of its directory, and refuses malformed requests; page text can no longer forge its control lines; a hung `aside` process is killed instead of waited on forever; if the Aside CLI cannot start mid-run (or its private CDP bridge is missing) the render retries on gstack's own browser and reports which engine actually rendered — a page error or a timeout of a running script is never retried; a shared `/tmp/gstack-render` owned by someone else is never used.
 - Browsing skills check link status only on a LOCAL target (on a real site every HEAD request would carry your cookies); same-origin filtering compares real origins instead of string prefixes; `.local` hosts are no longer treated as your own machine (mDNS names resolve to other devices on the LAN); the Aside readiness probe has a 30-second deadline on stock macOS, which ships neither `timeout` nor `gtimeout`.
 - `aside exec` research requests write an egress receipt before leaving the machine, like every other off-machine send.
+- Rendering through the bundled browser tolerates a cold start: the first tab request retries once while the daemon is still coming up, and a command whose process is slow to exit under heavy load is waited for instead of being reported as failed.
 - `gstack-render --help` exits 0, non-numeric flags are rejected instead of becoming `NaN` timeouts, `--wait-timeout` is documented, and page-derived output (`EVAL`, `PAGE_ERRORS`) is fenced as untrusted content.
