 # Implementation Plan: Extended GUI Simulation Testing
 
-## Phase 1: Setup and Architecture
+## Phase 1: Setup and Architecture [checkpoint: b255d4b]
 - [x] Task: Review the existing baseline simulation test to identify reusable components or fixtures without modifying the original. a0b1c2d
 - [x] Task: Design the modular structure for the new simulation scripts within the `simulation/` directory. e1f2g3h
-- [~] Task: Create a base test configuration or fixture that initializes the GUI with the `--enable-test-hooks` flag and the `ApiHookClient` for API testing.
-- [ ] Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 1: Setup and Architecture' (Protocol in workflow.md)
