+ warranties) and screenshots each populated tab. Exploratory visual harness.

+/// Email-verification gating tests against the real backend's `RequireVerified`
+/// middleware.
+///
+/// The backend policy changed so that ALL app-data endpoints now require a
+/// VERIFIED user (not merely an authenticated one). Previously only the
+/// share-code generation routes carried the gate; now the broad set of
+/// app-data reads/writes (residences, tasks, contractors, documents,
+/// notifications, subscription, …) are all gated behind verification.
+///
+/// The app's UI-test mode bypasses email verification, so the rule
+/// "an unverified user is blocked from app data" is not exercised by the UI
+/// suite. These tests close that gap by hitting the gated endpoints directly
+/// with a real Kratos session token and asserting the policy:
+///
+/// - VERIFIED required (403 for an authenticated-but-unverified user) on the
+///   app-data routes — e.g. `GET /residences/`, `GET /tasks/`,
+///   `GET /contractors/`, `GET /documents/`.
+/// - AUTHENTICATED-ONLY (must still work unverified — NOT 403):
+///   `GET /auth/me/`. The sign-up allow-list keeps these reachable so a freshly
+///   registered, not-yet-verified user can complete onboarding.
+/// - PUBLIC / lookup GETs (reachable without verification): e.g.
+///   `GET /tasks/categories/`.
+///
+/// All tests run entirely via the API — no app launch required. Because the
+/// `RequireVerified` middleware fires BEFORE the handler, a 403 is produced for
+/// an unverified caller regardless of whether any data exists — so the
+/// negative-path reads need no seeded residences/tasks.
