 ## Language and Build Conventions
 - Target language is C11: `set(CMAKE_C_STANDARD 11)`.
 - Two static library targets: `msg_core` (vendored messaging framework) and `phev` (links `msg_core` + `cjson`).
-- Dead transport backends (`msg_gcp_mqtt`, `msg_mqtt_paho`) are gated behind `BUILD_TRANSPORT_BACKENDS` (OFF by default).
 - Tests are only added when `BUILD_TESTS` is enabled.
 - Public headers are installed from `include/msg/` and `include/phev/`.

 ## Known Quirks To Respect
 - Some code intentionally uses duplicated patterns, manual memory management, and verbose logging; preserve behavior first, elegance second.
-- There are existing rough edges and probable bugs in the codebase; avoid opportunistic rewrites unless required for the task at hand.
-- 35 of 219 test functions are SKIPped due to pre-existing bugs (never wired in the old Unity runners). See `TODO.md` for details.

+## Phase 4 — Fix SKIPped tests (branch: `phase4/fix-skipped-tests`) ✓
+
+Goal: fix all 36 tests that were SKIPped (pre-existing bugs from previously-unwired
+ test functions) and reduce the skip count to zero.
+
+### Source fixes applied
+- [x] `phev_core_getType()` — XOR-decode the type byte before classifying (`src/phev/phev_core.c`)
+- [x] `phev_core_encodeMessage()` — apply XOR to encoded bytes (`src/phev/phev_core.c`)
+- [x] `phev_service_jsonInputTransformer()` — guard against NULL `ctx->pipe` (`src/phev/phev_service.c`)
+- [x] `phev_pipe_outputChainInputTransformer()` — use decoded `phevMessage->XOR` instead of `message->ctx` for XOR detection; return decoded message when XOR is active (`src/phev/phev_pipe.c`)
+- [x] `phev_pipe_commandResponder()` — propagate XOR from `message->ctx` to `phevMsg.XOR` so response is correctly encoded (`src/phev/phev_pipe.c`)
+- [x] `phev_core_xorDataOutbound()` / `phev_core_XOROutboundMessage()` — use `message->length` instead of `data[1]+2` to handle concatenated messages (`src/phev/phev_core.c`)
+- [x] `phev_service_validateCommand()` — add missing "update" operation validation (`src/phev/phev_service.c`)
+
+### test_phev_core.c — 16 SKIPs → 0 (all 82 pass)
+- [x] Group 1 (4 tests): fix checksums and expected data for XOR-encoded messages
+- [x] Group 2 (5 tests): fix expected XOR values and command/ack expectations
+- [x] Group 3 (4 tests): fix expected ping constant (0xf6 → 0xf9)
+- [x] Group 4 (3 tests): fix expected data arrays for XOR encoding
+
+### test_phev_service.c — 10 SKIPs → 0 (all 70 pass)
+- [x] Group 6 (5 tests): update expected data and checksum for XOR encoding
+- [x] Group 7 (4 tests): fix expected bytes for service-layer encoding
+- [x] Group 10 (1 test, line 263): `validateCommand()` missing "update" operation
+
+### test_phev_pipe.c — 10 SKIPs → 0 (all 31 pass)
+- [x] Group 5 (3 tests): `commandXOR` propagation through pipe context
+- [x] Group 6 (2 tests): `outputChainInputTransformer` with XOR
+- [x] Group 7 (1 test + 1 bonus): XOR handling with NULL pipe context / ping response
+- [x] Group 8 (2 tests): `sendMac` / `start_my18` wiring — fix `xorDataOutbound` length
+- [x] Group 9 (1 test): `waitForConnection` retry loop — add failing connect stub
+
+### Summary
+- Started: 36 SKIPped tests (16 + 10 + 10)
+- Fixed: 36 (all)
+- Remaining: 0
+- All 219 tests pass across 7 suites, 0 fail, 0 skip
+
+## Phase 5 — Cleanup ✓
+
+- [x] Remove dead transport source files (`msg_gcp_mqtt.*`, `msg_mqtt_paho.*`)
+- [x] Remove stale `config.h` (unused)
+- [x] Remove `BUILD_TRANSPORT_BACKENDS` option and install block from `CMakeLists.txt`
+- [x] Clean up stale remote branches (deleted 6: phase1-3, add-license-1, register_fix, robustxor)
+- [x] Clean up stale local branches (deleted phase1-3)
+- [x] Update `AGENTS.md` to reflect all-tests-passing and removal of transport backends
+- [x] Final CI verification — dev preset build + all 219 tests pass, release preset builds clean
