 picker; the browser's picker capability does not change the backend's
 discovery policy.

+If discovery cannot read a root, repository selectors keep repositories from
+successful roots available and retain their normal **Refresh repositories**
+action. Failed-root paths stay in structured backend logs and are not shown in
+selectors. A denied descendant does not require root reconnection. If a saved
+Desktop root itself fails, use **Reconnect** or **Remove**. Kandev does not
+create a missing clone directory during recovery.
+You can also enter an absolute repository path in **Add Local Repository** and
+select **Validate**; this explicit check is independent of discovery roots.
