To prove a VoiceOS confirmation card's Cancel works without watching the screen, grep ~/Library/Logs/VoiceOS/main.log. Manifest 'card' confirmations log `[NotchState] CONFIRM_REQUIRED { confirmationId: '<uuid>' }` when shown, then `[IPC] agent-confirm-response: id=<uuid> approved=false hasEdits=false` when the user cancels. Check that no `Executing custom MCP tool: <server>/<write tool>` follows. Older or widget flows log `pendingConfirmation: '<uuid>'` in NotchState state dumps instead. A watcher keyed only on that pattern misses card confirmations, so match both.
