  "works": "Re-checked a different way: fresh offline install of the 0.1.0 wheel, with the CLI driven from Python subprocesses and raw HTTP requests from Python's standard library. File and folder attachments work end to end (a folder with a subfolder and a 300 KB binary came back byte-identical); non-members can't download attachments and overwriting needs --force; outside links, '..' file names and an unsafe folder archive were all refused or neutralised. wait --timeout gives up after about 2 s with exit code 4 as documented. Rotating a token makes the old one return 401. HTTPS with a self-signed certificate works, and the client rejects an untrusted certificate with a clear error. --json gives valid JSON lines on whoami, people, chats, notifications, settings show, send and read. The view token can read but not send and doesn't change unread counts. A non-admin can't add users. Loopback throughput was about 4,100 small messages per second from one client and about 3,500 per second from 8 parallel clients.",
  "breaks": "Reproduced by a different route: the file-upload endpoint also returns 500 when chat is a list, and a numeric text gives a 400 with a raw Python error message. New: send has no --to option, but '--to' is accepted as an abbreviation of --token, so passing a recipient that way fails with a misleading 'Unknown token' error; with --json, errors are still plain text on stderr; a rules file with only an empty roles section leaves channel management open to every member; binding to all interfaces over plain HTTP prints no warning.",
