- Service renders expect-webdriverio matchers as single `expect.<matcher>` rows by **folding**, not stack/depth suppression (the old `#assertionDepth`/`#matcherStarted`/self-heal machinery is gone). The matcher's value-read (`toHaveText`→`getText`, `toExist`→`isExisting`, …) is captured as a normal command; `afterAssertion` then coalesces the synthesized `expect.*` row into that read in place — inheriting its callSource, screenshot, and timeline position — and the fold replaces **by timestamp, never a public `id`**: `id` is the per-worker `commandCounter`, which resets per spec, so stamping one lets the app's id-first `replaceCommand` swap a same-id row from another spec (duplicate rows + a fold from another spec vanishing, in multi-spec live mode). `beforeAssertion` arms the pending matcher (depth-counted so aliases like `toBeChecked`→`toBeSelected` fold once); a matcher that **hard-throws** — element never resolves, so expect-webdriverio's `waitUntil` rethrows and `afterAssertion` never fires — is synthesized at `afterTest`/`afterStep` from the throwing read, so a failing assertion renders as `expect.<matcher>` whether or not the element existed. Two limits: its error is then the read's (`Can't call getText on … element wasn't found`), not an assertion-phrased message; and `MATCHER_READ_COMMANDS` is a hand-maintained allowlist, so a matcher whose read isn't listed leaves its raw read visible alongside the `expect.*` row. Plain-value jest matchers (`expect(x).toBe(y)`) don't fire the ewdio hooks, so they aren't captured as rows.
