Activate this skill when running, interpreting, extending, or debugging the live hardware smoke test harness in scripts/live_smoke.py. Covers all aspects of manifest-driven live testing against real UniFi hardware: .env credential setup, tool classification tiers, --phase flag selection to bound blast radius, the human-in-the-loop confirmation gate for mutations, artifact interpretation in live-smoke-results/, adding new tools to the harness, and recognizing known API contract failure patterns that mock-based CI cannot catch. Apply this skill even if the user doesn't explicitly ask about the harness — activate whenever a PR requires live smoke evidence, a new tool category needs coverage, or an API contract mismatch is suspected. CRITICAL: Treat live smoke as a PRE-MERGE BLOCKING GATE when code changes API response parsing (new fields, filtering logic, payload normalization).
