-# TASK: Restore Studio Ship this playflow after IDE shell
+# TASK: Rewire leftover Studio playflow onto Ship this
 
 ## 1. Goal & Scope
-* **Objective:** Get UVAI Studio playflow back toward ≥9/10 by restoring a discoverable **Ship this** path and rewiring leftover B/E/G helpers the IDE shell left unused.
-* **Context:** Kill A (#1692) merged. B–G helpers exist (`studioTranscriptStage`, `studioActionCard`, `deployHoldReason` skip/unknown, export toast, player overlay). The 2026-10-07 IDE refactor deleted `studio-deploy-button` and stopped rendering Ship this, stack-check honesty, review_action cards, and transcript retry. Dogfood kill F still stands: no Ship this; seadance/cluely-class checks must not hold anonymous ship.
+* **Objective:** Keep #2437 **Ship this** and re-render the leftover B/E/G helpers the IDE still left unused: honest Events empty copy + pack workbench when `events[]` is empty.
+* **Context:** A/#1692 and B–G helpers landed in September. #2437 restored Ship this, transcript retry, stack-check skip/unknown, and review_action cards. Live pack GET for pBsT6v-ciO8 has transcript + architecture + artifacts + stack.tools and **no `events` field**. UI must label that as **Events**, never INSIGHTs. No G.A.T.E. No fake events. No ClipToAction.
 * **Scope:**
-  * `apps/web/src/lib/studio-pipeline-status.ts` — `studioShipEnabled` / `studioShipCta` (exportability gates ship; holdReason never does)
-  * `apps/web/src/lib/official-templates.ts` — stack-check row view (skip/unknown)
-  * `apps/web/src/components/OneLoopStudio.tsx` — Ship this CTA, transcript retry, toast position, pass checks/actions
-  * `apps/web/src/components/studio/StudioIdeOutput.tsx` — stack checks + `studioActionCard`
- * *Initial check:* Extend existing helpers. Do not restore `studio-deploy-button`, origin deploy kickoff, fake events, or G.A.T.E. contract changes.
+  * `apps/web/src/components/OneLoopStudio.tsx` — pass `studioEventsEmptyMessage` + `PackWorkbench` when `studioPromotePackWorkbench`
+  * `apps/web/src/components/studio/StudioIdeOutput.tsx` — Events empty honesty + pack workbench; keep Ship this / reviewActions / stackCheckViews from #2437
+  * `apps/web/src/lib/__tests__/studio-pipeline-status.test.ts` — lock Events≠INSIGHTs + workbench wiring
+ * *Initial check:* Do not restore `studio-deploy-button`, origin deploy kickoff, fake events, or G.A.T.E. contract changes.
 
 ## 2. Execution Plan
-- [x] Failing tests for Ship this enablement, skip/unknown checks, review cards, retry, toast position
-- [x] Ship this CTA enabled by `studioCanExport`, never by non-runnable stack checks
-- [x] Tools tab shows honest skip/unknown; Intent tab renders `review_action` cards
-- [x] Transcript retry control when `studioCanRetryTranscript`
-- [x] Export toast no longer uses sticky-footer `bottom-20`
-- [x] Focused Vitest
+- [x] Rebase onto origin/main after #2437 (clears DIRTY + stale required closer)
+- [x] Events tab uses `studioEventsEmptyMessage` + pack workbench
+- [x] Keep Ship this, transcript retry, skip/unknown stack checks, review_action cards
+- [x] Focused Vitest green
 
 ## 3. Definition of Done (Success Verification)
-* **Expected Outcome:** Anonymous Studio on a seadance/cluely pack can click **Ship this** (ZIP export). Stack checks read skip/unknown and do not disable the button. No live hostname claim. Transcript retry and review cards are visible.
+* **Expected Outcome:** Anonymous Studio can click **Ship this**. Events tab says this pack has no extracted events (not INSIGHTs) and can show the pack workbench. Stack checks stay skip/unknown and do not hold ship. Transcript retry and review cards remain visible.
 * **Verification Method:** `cd apps/web && npx vitest run src/lib/__tests__/studio-pipeline-status.test.ts src/lib/__tests__/official-templates.test.ts src/lib/__tests__/uvai-surface-unification.test.ts src/components/__tests__/OneLoopStudio.three-panel.test.tsx src/components/studio/__tests__/StudioIdeOutput.playflow.test.tsx`
-* **Proof Artifact:** `cd apps/web && npm test -- src/lib/__tests__/studio-pipeline-status.test.ts src/lib/__tests__/official-templates.test.ts src/lib/__tests__/uvai-surface-unification.test.ts src/components/__tests__/OneLoopStudio.three-panel.test.tsx src/components/studio/__tests__/StudioIdeOutput.playflow.test.tsx` → **5 files, 49 passed**. Related: OneLoopStudio.build-live + job-strip + linked-sop → **3 files, 16 passed**. `tsc --noEmit` and eslint on touched files passed.

 ## 4. Post-Task Reflection
-* **What was done:** Restored a discoverable **Ship this** toolbar CTA that downloads the pack ZIP. Anonymous/unknown SeaDance/Cluely stack checks render as skip/unknown and never disable the button. Intent tab renders `review_action` cards. Transcript retry is visible on retryable failure. Export toast sits at `bottom-4` (no sticky footer). Origin deploy button was not restored.
-* **Why it was needed:** IDE shell left playflow helpers unwired; dogfood kill F was a disabled Deploy with no Ship this.
-* **How it was tested:** Focused Vitest (49 + 16), type-check, eslint. No production live claim. GitHub issue create was 403 so this cut has no new issue number.
+* **What was done:** Rebased #2436 onto #2437. Wired honest Events empty copy and PackWorkbench into the IDE without dropping Ship this.
+* **Why it was needed:** The required closer check was a stale FAILURE on the old SHA, and main had moved (CONFLICTING/DIRTY).
+* **How it was tested:** Focused Vitest after rebase. Required closer then failed because #2435 closed when #2437 merged; remaining E/G lives on open #2440 (Act CTA + pricing copy).
