     8. Wait ~35 seconds (or longer to validate the post-Option-C port lifecycle still holds).
     9. Click the toolbar icon. The popup opens (NOT the picker — because setRecordingMode set the popup to 'src/popup/index.html'). Click 'Сохранить отчёт об ошибке'. The save flow runs; the zip lands in ~/Downloads as session_report_*.zip.
     10. Open the zip; confirm video/last_30sec.webm is present and (validated by Plan 01-08) plays for ~30s in Chrome and mpv.

+    11. Stop the sharing via Chrome's 'Stop sharing' banner button. Badge transitions to OFF ('OFF' text, neutral background — user stopped deliberately, this is not an error). NO recovery notification fires (would be noise for a deliberate stop; the OS 'Sharing your screen' indicator going away is the operator's confirmation). Popup is cleared so toolbar.onClicked re-fires for restart. (AMENDED 2026-05-17 post-Bug B: prior expectation routed user-stopped-sharing through ERROR state which locked operator out — see .planning/debug/resolved/01-09-recovery-flow.md.)

     13. Edge-case: click the toolbar icon WITHOUT a prior recording (after step 3 + reload extension without restart). The picker should appear directly (NOT the popup). This validates that initialize → setIdleMode set the popup to '' so onClicked fires.

If any of steps 4 (notification appears), 5 (picker is monitor-only), 9 (popup opens on toolbar click while recording), 11 (badge transitions to ERROR + recovery notification), 12 (recovery click triggers picker), or 13 (idle toolbar click triggers picker directly) FAIL, document the exact failure mode + reproduction steps.

+    15. ERROR state coverage (separate from 11-12): genuine recording failures (codec init failure, port disconnect, etc.) still route through setErrorMode + recovery notification — that path is preserved by Bug B fix as the defensive fallback. No operator step here unless a real error surfaces during the smoke; if it does, document it.

 Plan 01-09 is complete when:

 4. manifest.json + smoke.sh + popup updated consistently with the new UX charter.
 5. tsc + build clean.
