 2. Plain unattended clone contains the entry? If yes, the installer's view is cached → purge mirror.
 3. Only then suspect the installer itself (validation code lives in the minified bundle; `grep -oE '.{600}<error string>' "$bunfile"` on `readlink -f $(which omp)` shows the exact check).
 
+## Landing a merged PR on the live box

+After the merge and the `--ff-only` on the dev checkout (`ls -ld node_modules` after landing anything that could have touched it):
+
+- **`omp plugin upgrade <name>` takes the PACKAGE name, not the install alias.** `omp plugin upgrade dankvoice` fails `dankvoice is not installed` while the live copy sits in `~/.omp/plugins/node_modules/omp-dankvoice/`. Read the directory name (or `package.json` `"name"`) and upgrade that.
+- Then close the chain of custody with one command — the deployed bytes are the merged bytes:
+  ```bash
+  cmp ~/Projects/<repo>/dist/index.js ~/.omp/plugins/node_modules/<pkg>/dist/index.js
+  ```
+  If only docs/tests changed, `dist/` is untouched and this should already match; if `src/` changed, the plugin must be upgraded first or this fails with `char <n>` — which is a real finding (stale live bundle), not a test bug.
+- The session that did the merge keeps the OLD bundle in memory: it is still running pre-merge code. Never conclude "the change does not work" from the merging session.
+
 ## After install — proof without a TUI
 - `omp plugin doctor` → per-plugin ✔ line.
 - Audible/behavioral chain when TUI input is unusable (update-banner modal freezes pty submits): run `omp --mode=rpc --no-session` with the feature env armed (dankvoice: `DANKVOICE_AUTO=1`, gate is print/json-only) and watch for objective side effects, e.g. PipeWire: `pw-dump | grep -q "say-<ms>.wav"` proves synth+playback end-to-end.
+- When pty submits DO work (no modal), the strongest instrument is a stub player plus a clip count, not ears or pixels: `DANKVOICE_PLAYER=/tmp/stub.sh` where the stub appends `$1` to a log and exits 0. Launch the DEPLOYED bundle by path (`omp --no-extensions --no-session -e ~/.omp/plugins/node_modules/<pkg>/dist/index.js`) in a neutral cwd with `DANKVOICE_CONFIG` pointed at a scratch file so the operator's settings are untouched.
+- **Count clips per narration EVENT, not per turn.** One turn can fire several narrations (dankvoice: `message_end` carries prose+thinking, `agent_end` the settled answer; the dedupe only skips byte-identical text, so thinking-on means both speak). A "too many clips" result is usually correct behaviour — check the harness transcript for the turn count before believing a bug. The player deletes each temp wav, so the log line count is the only surviving evidence: park it in `~/.AGENTTRASH/<date>-<topic>/` if it becomes evidence for an issue.
