The submission builds cleanly via CMake/FetchContent and its offline test suite passes, matching the README's explicit claim that tests need no live gateway. Code excerpts show thoughtful, well-documented design with honest scoping statements (no invented `launch()`, a minimal and clearly-labeled CDP escape hatch) rather than overclaiming. However, no live gateway interaction was observed, so the actual REST control-plane behavior (session creation, profile management, retries) is unverified beyond parsing-level unit tests — a reasonable submission for a control-plane binding but with untested end-to-end behavior.
Strengths
- CMake FetchContent build succeeded cleanly with no manual dependency wrangling, and the offline doctest suite passed 100% exactly as the README promises ('offline doctest suite (no gateway needed)').
- Header comments are unusually explicit about scope and tradeoffs (e.g. explains why `launch()` isn't ported, why `GET /sessions/:id` 404s today, why release() is blocking) rather than overselling capability.
- Error handling is structured (a single `SolariError` with optional status/code, explicit retry policy limited to 502/503/504) rather than ad hoc.
- The `CdpConnection` escape hatch is clearly scoped in both README and header doc as 'not a browser automation API', which is honest framing rather than inflated marketing.
Concerns
- No live round-trip against an actual Solari gateway was exercised — only offline parsing/request-shape tests ran, so REST behavior (auth, retries, real session creation) is unverified beyond the code reading correctly.
- Only one test binary/target is visible (`tests/test_main.cpp`); without seeing its contents, breadth of coverage (error paths, retry logic, CDP framing) can't be independently confirmed beyond 'it compiled and passed'.
- Minor CMake dev warnings (DOWNLOAD_EXTRACT_TIMESTAMP, unused BUILD_TESTING variable) were left unresolved, suggesting the CMake setup wasn't fully polished.
- The `SessionsResource::get()` method is documented as reliably returning a 404 against the current gateway — worth clarifying with the maintainer whether this is intentional forward-compatibility scaffolding or a known gap that should be flagged more prominently to users.

Ask the candidate
- Walk me through `tests/test_main.cpp` — what specifically is asserted for `buildCreateBody`, `parseSessionResponse`, and the retry logic, and what isn't covered?
- Why did you choose a blocking-only `release()` (releaseAndWait semantics) instead of mirroring the TS SDK's fire-and-forget option, and what tradeoffs does that impose on callers managing many concurrent sessions?
- The README notes `GET /sessions/:id` reliably 404s against the current gateway — what's your plan for handling that gap, and how would you test it once the pool host implements the route?
