 ## Unreleased
 
+- fix(monkey): **the monkey no longer signs itself out of a non-English app** (#469). `monkey.js` recognised only English sign-out captions, so in a Dutch app it clicked "Afmelden", landed on `login.html`, scored a false CRASH and fuzzed nothing more (seed 204262061: 3 observations, 1 crash-class; 24 and 0 with the label excluded). The default now also covers Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian sign-out captions, matched as the whole caption so ordinary verbs stay fuzzable ("Ziek afmelden", "Vom Kurs abmelden", and sign-in captions such as "Aanmelden"); a project adds its own in `project.config.js` `signOutPattern` or `SIGN_OUT_PATTERN`, added to the default, never replacing it, with its own regex flags kept. `rapidTab` no longer presses Enter while focus is on a sign-out control (top bar, nav item, aria-label or title, each tested on its own), the route by which a layout control outside `.mx-page` was reached. `test-monkey-left-app.sh` gains the issue's captions, sign-in near-misses, the over-match captions, the project pattern and its flags, and a rapidTab guard scoped to that branch (it fails on a blind-Enter mutation): 9 FAIL on master, 22/22 with the fix. — jopterhorst
 - fix(progress-report): **the build plan is shown once: the phase cards are the plan.** Expanding a card now shows its full rows (#, Kind, Step, Produces/Proves, Depends on, State, Scripts) and Claims, which only the duplicate "Full plan tables" block carried; that block is gone and views A (script folders) and B (module proof) are their own section. The `now` phase renders open with a selected style, opening another phase closes the previous one (accordion; `#phase-N` links still open their card), and a viewer's saved open/closed state survives the 30 s reload and wins over the default (#474) — field feedback from a requirements-driven project at Stage 5 — MendixMau (field feedback 2026-10-20)
