 > **Status (2026-06-10):** Code side implemented behind `VITE_MANAGED_AUTH` (off by default; old behavior unchanged): bundled `@clerk/clerk-js` (code-split chunk, no CDN script), boot gate in `src/main-gleam.ts` (`src/managed-auth.ts`), fresh `getToken()` per request to `/api/agent` (`src/managed-agent-client.ts`, unit-tested incl. 402 code mapping). Spike **validation** still requires a Render preview deploy with a Clerk dev instance — runbook in `docs/phase2-coep-spike.md`.

+> driving it in Chrome: `crossOriginIsolated === true` (so WebContainers still
