## CHANGES

- NewInstanceModal now preserves SSH config during agent re-detection flows 🧭
- Tests now mock remote `fs.stat` to validate SSH working directory reliably 🧪
- NewInstanceModal tests wait for debounced remote path validation before creating ⏱️
- Leaderboard “Submit” button stays hidden after success to avoid resubmits 🚫
- Leaderboard “Sync from cloud” is now available even after successful submit 🔄
- Leaderboard “Opt Out” action remains accessible after a successful registration 🧾
- Autorun synopsis prompt bans session-context preambles for cleaner summaries ✍️

 Rules:
 - Be specific about what was actually accomplished, not what was attempted.
 - Focus only on meaningful work that was done. Omit filler phrases like "the task is complete", "no further action needed", "everything is working", etc.
+- NEVER include preamble about session context, interaction history, or caveats like "This is our first interaction", "there's no prior work to summarize", "you asked me to", etc. Jump straight to the accomplishment.
+- Start directly with the action taken (e.g., "Fixed button visibility..." not "You asked me to fix...").
 - If nothing meaningful was accomplished, respond with only: **Summary:** No changes made.
