sanderling replay
Local web UI for exploring runs produced by
sanderling test. Reads
runs/<id>/meta.json and
runs/<id>/trace.jsonl from disk.
sanderling replay [run-or-runs-dir] [--port N] [--no-open] [--dev]
The positional argument can be a runs directory or a single run
directory (auto-detected by meta.json). Defaults to
./runs.

Panels
| Panel | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Screenshot | Device screenshot for the focused step, with the dispatched action's target spotlit. |
| ActionList | Ordered list of steps with the verb and target for each action. |
| Timeline | Per-property lane chart over the run; cells coloured by violated, pending, or holds. |
| ViolationsPanel | Property statuses at the focused step with residual formulas for any that failed. |
| HierarchyPanel | Filterable table of every UI element captured at the focused step; mirrors the selectors documented in Spec language reference. |
| SnapshotTable | Flattened snapshots map for the focused step, with
diffs against the previous step. |

Arrow keys inside a tablist or listbox yield to those widgets. Use

Deep links
/runs/:id/steps/:n links to a specific step. Use it in
issues or PRs when pointing at a violation.
The run index auto-refreshes over SSE as new runs land, so
sanderling replay and sanderling test can run
side by side.
Development
Two-process loop while iterating on the UI:
make web-dev # bun + vite on http://127.0.0.1:5173
make replay-dev # sanderling replay --dev, proxies non-API to 5173
Single binary with the bundle embedded:
make sanderling
