qa/harness-server.js boots the real server with chain reads stubbed (COLD=1 reproduces the cached-index
state that left #787 without a profile). qa/join-flow-e2e.mjs drives the real /join-now page with a fake
wallet producing genuine secp256k1 signatures.
Three scenarios pass: signs on a cold index (9) - the gate appears on their own dashboard; refuses to
sign (10) - REGRESSION, the join still completes and redirects with the page usable; signs on a warm
index (9). Full set green: profiles-unit 28, signin-fallback 7, gate-e2e 47, join-flow 9/10/9, plus the
live shared-link check.
