+=== CR-SQLite Demo with bun:sqlite ===
+
+1. Loading custom libsqlite3 from: .../effect-native/packages-native/libsqlite/lib/darwin-aarch64/libsqlite3.dylib
+2. Created in-memory SQLite database
+   SQLite version: 3.50.2
+
+3. Loading CR-SQLite extension from: .../lib/crsqlite-zig-darwin-aarch64.dylib
+   Extension loaded! Version: 0.0.1-zig-scaffold
+
+4. Creating 'items' table...
+5. Converting to CRR with crsql_as_crr('items')...
+   Table is now a CRR!
+
+6. Initial db_version: 0
+
+7. Inserting items...
+   Inserted: Apples (qty: 10)
+   Inserted: Bananas (qty: 5)
+   Inserted: Oranges (qty: 8)
+
+8. db_version after inserts: 3
+
+9. Querying all items:
+   - Apples: 10 (id: item-1)
+   - Bananas: 5 (id: item-2)
+   - Oranges: 8 (id: item-3)
+
+10. Updating Apples quantity to 15...
+    db_version after update: 4
+
+11. Deleting Oranges...
+    db_version after delete: 5
+
+12. Final items:
+    - Apples: 15
+    - Bananas: 5
+
+13. Changes tracked in crsql_changes (since version 0):
+    v1: items.name = Apples
+    v2: items.name = Bananas
+    v2: items.quantity = 5
+    v4: items.quantity = 15
+
+14. This database's site_id: df3bf744a82649d289b9169382fbbe3b
+
+=== Demo complete! ===

+<details>
+<summary>Browser scratchpad output (server starts)</summary>
+
+```text
+=== CR-SQLite Browser Demo ===
+
+Server running at: http://localhost:3000/
+
+Open TWO browser tabs to this URL to test cross-tab sync!
+
+Tab 1 and Tab 2 will share the same database through a SharedWorker.
+Changes made in one tab will be visible in the other.
+```
+
+Server serves:
+- `/` — React app with multi-tab item list
+- `/coordinator.js` — SharedWorker coordinator from browser-dist
+- `/provider.js` — Provider worker from browser-dist
+- `/sql-wasm.wasm` — CR-SQLite WASM build
+</details>
+
+**Reproduction steps (clean checkout)**
+1. `git clone <repo> && cd cr-sqlite`
+2. `bun run scratch/bun-scratchpad/index.ts`
+3. `bun --hot scratch/browser-scratchpad/src/index.ts`
+4. Open http://localhost:3000 in two browser tabs
+
+**Work summary**
+1. **Bun scratchpad**: Full CR-SQLite demo using `Database.setCustomSQLite()` to load extension-enabled libsqlite3, then `db.loadExtension()` to load the Zig-built CR-SQLite. Demonstrates CRR tables, CRUD, db_version tracking, crsql_changes, site_id.
+
+2. **Browser scratchpad**: React app with SharedWorker coordination for multi-tab database access. Shows provider election (first tab owns DB), cross-tab sync via 1s polling, db_version updates. Server routes WASM files from `zig/browser-dist/`.
+
+**Known gaps / unverified claims**
+- No automated tests added (scratchpads are demos, not library code)
+- Browser demo currently loads sql.js from CDN in provider.js rather than local CR-SQLite WASM build — full CR-SQLite WASM integration pending
+- Effect-TS scratchpad deferred as spec-gated (blocked on Tom)

+# TASK-069: Wire scratchpads for realistic demos
+
+## Status
+- [x] Planned
+- [x] Assigned
+- [x] In Progress
+- [ ] Blocked (reason: ...)
+- [x] Complete
+
+## Priority
+low
+
+## Assigned To
+subagent (general)
+
+## Parent Docs / Cross-links
+- Wish: `.wishes/scratchpad.md`
+- Gap backlog: `research/zig-cr/92-gap-backlog.md` (add a new section under Gaps)
+
+## Description
+Wire up the existing scratchpad projects so they are runnable and demonstrate realistic scenarios:
+
+- `scratch/browser-scratchpad`: minimal bun+react app demonstrating browser multi-tab DB.
+- `scratch/bun-scratchpad`: minimal bun script using `bun:sqlite`.
+
+The original wish also asked for an Effect+SQL Bun scratchpad. That is **TypeScript-heavy** and (per repo rules) must live in the `effect-native/` submodule and be spec-gated.
+
+Track that separately as a Tom-blocked wish:
+- `.wishes/blocked-on-tom/effect-bun-scratchpad.md`
+
+## Files to Modify
+- `scratch/browser-scratchpad/*`
+- `scratch/bun-scratchpad/*`
+- `research/zig-cr/92-gap-backlog.md`
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- [x] Each scratchpad has a single documented command to run.
+- [x] Browser scratchpad demonstrates cross-tab read/write visibility.
+- [x] Bun scratchpad demonstrates CR-SQLite usage with `bun:sqlite`.
+- [x] No TypeScript spec-gate violations (Effect scratchpad tracked separately as blocked).
+
+## Progress Log
+### 2025-12-17
+- Task created from `.wishes/scratchpad.md` during "update tasks".
+
+### 2025-12-16
+- Implemented bun-scratchpad:
+  - Uses `Database.setCustomSQLite()` to load extension-enabled libsqlite3
+  - Loads Zig-built CR-SQLite extension via `db.loadExtension()`
+  - Demonstrates CRR table creation, CRUD operations, db_version tracking
+  - Run: `bun run scratch/bun-scratchpad/index.ts`
+- Implemented browser-scratchpad:
+  - Serves CR-SQLite WASM files from `zig/browser-dist/`
+  - React app with DbClient connecting to SharedWorker coordinator
+  - Shows provider/client roles, db_version, cross-tab item sync
+  - Run: `bun --hot scratch/browser-scratchpad/src/index.ts`
+- Updated README.md files with run instructions and architecture docs
+
+## Completion Notes
+### 2025-12-16
+
+**Bun Scratchpad** (`scratch/bun-scratchpad/`)
+- Run: `bun run scratch/bun-scratchpad/index.ts`
+- Key discovery: `bun:sqlite` built-in doesn't support extension loading, so we use `Database.setCustomSQLite()` with the libsqlite3 from `effect-native/packages-native/libsqlite/`
+- Uses Zig-built extension (`crsqlite-zig-*.dylib`) which has standard `sqlite3_extension_init` entry point
+- Demonstrates full CR-SQLite workflow: CRR creation, CRUD, db_version tracking, crsql_changes, site_id
+
+**Browser Scratchpad** (`scratch/browser-scratchpad/`)
+- Run: `bun --hot scratch/browser-scratchpad/src/index.ts`
+- Serves WASM files from `zig/browser-dist/` at `/crsql-multitab.js`, `/coordinator.js`, `/provider.js`, `/sql-wasm.wasm`
+- React app connects via DbClient → SharedWorker (coordinator) → Provider Worker (SQLite WASM)
+- Shows provider election (first tab owns DB), cross-tab sync via 1s polling, db_version updates
+- Note: The provider.js currently loads sql.js from CDN, not the local CR-SQLite WASM build. Full CR-SQLite WASM integration is pending.

+# Tom blocker: Effect Bun scratchpad
+
+## What’s blocked
+A third scratchpad was requested:
+- `.wishes/scratchpad.md` asks for `scratch/effect-bun-scratchpad`
+
+Creating this is **TypeScript-heavy** and (per repo rules) all TypeScript work must happen in the `effect-native/` submodule and be spec-gated.
+
+## Constraints
+- No new TypeScript projects outside `effect-native/`.
+- Must follow `effect-native/.specs/AGENTS.md` and treat `effect-native/.specs/*` as source of truth.
+
+## What Tom needs to decide
+1. Where this lives (suggested): `effect-native/scratch/effect-bun-scratchpad/` (or a workspace package under `effect-native/packages-native/`)
+2. Whether to write a spec first (suggested): add a minimal spec under `effect-native/.specs/` describing the scratchpad goal + run command.
+3. Whether it must use:
+   - `@effect/platform`, `@effect/platform-bun`, `@effect/sql`, `@effect/sql-sqlite-bun`
+   - `@effect/language-service`, `@effect/vitest`, `@effect/eslint-plugin`
+
+## Why this matters
+If we do this in the root repo we violate the TS work rule, and it becomes hard to keep aligned with the spec gates.
