## Evidence gaps

> Local setup commands, tests and compatibility with your checkout have not been verified by this context.
> Public and runtime candidates are based on file names; their exports and execution paths still need checking in source.
> 2 suggested change patterns have no captured source file and are omitted.
> Could not capture pnpm-lock.yaml: source unavailable or larger than the capture limit. Open its source link to check setup.
> Setup has not been executed. Environment variables, external services and command order may require additional source documentation.

## Further evidence

This brief can be used without a connection. If RepoPilot is connected, its hosted MCP endpoint is https://repopilot.app/api/mcp.

- Concise brief: analyze_repo {"repo":"vercel/next.js"}
- Full reference: get_artifact {"repo":"vercel/next.js"}
- For a concrete task, call plan_repo_task with this repository, the task, and your actual checkout SHA when known. Compare returned analyzed_sha and evidence_gaps before relying on its file guidance.
- Follow the tool result's next_actions for more evidence. A missing result or unknown revision remains unverified.
