Proof: npm test (212/212) and npm run operator-dashboard:build cover non-JSON auth failures and rebuilt the dashboard bundle.
Assumptions: browser auth failures may return plain text before a session cookie is established; API callers should receive JSON errors.
Still fake: dashboard quote outcomes still depend on inventory-delta attribution instead of venue-native terminal fill events.
Proof: npm test passed 164/164; npm run operator-dashboard:build passed; focused dashboard API client and UI static tests cover timeout, empty HTTP 500, and retry/error loading state.
Assumptions: The current stuck dashboard is caused by a stale or unavailable local kubectl port-forward; the app should fail visibly and allow retry instead of waiting forever.
Still fake: no public dashboard ingress is part of this turn; local dashboard access still depends on Kubernetes API/port-forward availability.
