 Promote to a non-blocking CI job only once a sandbox test account can be provisioned
 headlessly (mnemonic in CI secrets) — a follow-up, not a blocker.
+
+## Real IPC layer (what the mock stands in for)
+
+The 18 commands `requests/families.ts` invokes are implemented in
+[`../src-tauri/src/operations/families/`](../src-tauri/src/operations/families/) and registered
+in [`../src-tauri/src/main.rs`](../src-tauri/src/main.rs):
+
+- `execute.rs` — 9 state-changing txs over `NodeFamiliesSigningClient` (auto/simulated gas;
+  `create_family` attaches the `create_family_fee` as base-denom funds). Returns
+  `TransactionExecuteResult` (the optional `family_events` is omitted — the provider
+  `refreshAll()`s queries after every execute, so the UI re-derives state from reads).
+- `query.rs` — 9 reads over `NodeFamiliesQueryClient`, **normalised at the IPC boundary** to the
+  wallet shapes in `src/types/families.ts`: base-denom `Coin` → display `DecCoin`
+  (`paid_fee`, `create_family_fee`), per-page contract envelopes → `{ items, start_next_after }`,
+  the cw_serde tagged `FamilyInvitationStatus` → `{ kind, at }`. `get_family_config` has no smart
+  query, so it reads raw contract state at the `"config"` key.
+
+**Tauri arg casing:** JS passes camelCase keys, Tauri maps them to the commands' snake_case
+params — so the `requests/families.ts` execute bindings send `nodeId`/`familyId`/`validitySecs`/
+`updatedName`/`updatedDescription`.
+
+**Mock → real switch.** `FamiliesContext.defaultQueries` points at the real `requests/families.ts`;
+`MockFamiliesContextProvider` swaps in an in-memory engine. Production `/family`
+([`../src/pages/families/FamilyPageRoute.tsx`](../src/pages/families/FamilyPageRoute.tsx)) mounts
+`BondingContextProvider` → real `FamiliesContextProvider` → `FamilyPage`; the mock entry
+(`main.mock.html`) is offline/e2e-only. `controlledNodeIds` derives from the account's bonded node
+(≤1 on chain).
+
+**Contract drift guard.** [`../src/types/families.contract-guard.ts`](../src/types/families.contract-guard.ts)
+holds `tsc`-checked assertions between `src/types/families.ts` and the ts-rs-generated contract
+types; regenerate (`tools/ts-rs-cli`) on a contract change and the guard flags any divergence.
+
+## Sandbox write flows (guarded, manual)
+
+Mutating journeys (create → invite → accept → kick → disband; accept/leave/reject) need a
+**dedicated funded sandbox account** — never a shared/real one:
+
+- Account `n13jtj2unhhtryxllnuc8zkng3nl4xnnjvxe0tzv` (sandbox, ~101k NYM). Mnemonic lives **only**
+  in vault secret `TAURI-WALLET-MNEMONIC` — inject via CI secret, never commit it.
+- Check state with `nym-cli -c sandbox.env account balance n13jtj2unhhtryxllnuc8zkng3nl4xnnjvxe0tzv`.
+- Tolerate on-chain latency (poll/refresh after each execute). Target **only** this account's
+  family/nodes and **clean up at the end** (disband / leave) so it stays reusable.
+- An account bonds ≤1 node, so the multi-node operator persona can't be reproduced here — that
+  journey stays mock/Storybook-only.
+
+Keep this tier manual/non-blocking until headless account provisioning exists.

 **D3 — Derive `controlledNodeIds` from the account's bonded nodes.**
 Reuse the existing bonding/account node info the wallet already fetches (the operator persona needs "nodes I control"). Replace the `useMemo(() => [], [])` stub in `FamiliesContextProvider` with that derivation. Keep it resilient when the account controls no nodes.
+*Implemented:* consume `useBondingContext().bondedNode` (`[nodeId]` nym-node / `[mixId]` legacy mixnode / `[]` gateway-or-none); the `/family` route is now wrapped in `BondingContextProvider` (it is mounted per-route, not globally). **Reality check:** an account bonds **at most one** node on chain, so `controlledNodeIds` is 0–1 long. The mock's 3-node operator persona is therefore **not reproducible** from a single sandbox account — the multi-node operator journey (§5.3) remains a mock/Storybook-only scenario, and the sandbox operator check is limited to that one node's invites.
 
 **D4 — Generate contract types via ts-rs (`nym-wallet-types`) and reconcile with `src/types/families.ts`.**
 `src/types/families.ts` was hand-written for the mock. Prefer generating the canonical shapes from the contract Rust types (ts-rs, as other wallet types are) and reconciling field-by-field (cursors, paged envelope, membership, `FamilyTxResult`). Where the hand-written type and generated type diverge, the generated (contract-truth) shape wins; update the mock/types accordingly so mock and real stay parity.

 ## 1. Rust Tauri command layer (operations/families)
 
-- [ ] 1.1 Scaffold `src-tauri/src/operations/families/{mod.rs,query.rs,execute.rs}` mirroring `operations/mixnet/` (state access, client acquisition, error handling, fee convention per design D7).
-- [ ] 1.2 Implement the 9 **execute** commands (`create_family`, `update_family`, `disband_family`, `invite_to_family`, `revoke_family_invitation`, `kick_from_family`, `accept_family_invitation`, `reject_family_invitation`, `leave_family`) over `NodeFamiliesSigningClient`; return `TransactionExecuteResult`-based `FamilyTxResult` (family_events best-effort per D2).
-- [ ] 1.3 Implement the **query** commands (`get_family_by_id`, `get_family_by_owner`, `get_family_membership`, `get_family_members_paged`, `get_pending_invitations_for_family_paged`, `get_pending_invitations_for_node_paged`, `get_past_invitations_for_family_paged`, `get_past_members_for_family_paged`) over `NodeFamiliesQueryClient`.
-- [ ] 1.4 Implement `get_family_config` against the contract config/state query (design D5), shaped to the frontend `FamilyConfig`.
-- [ ] 1.5 Register all 18 commands in the `main.rs` `invoke_handler`; confirm names/arg casing match `src/requests/families.ts`.
-- [ ] 1.6 `cargo build` / `cargo clippy` clean; app boots with the commands registered.
+- [x] 1.1 Scaffold `src-tauri/src/operations/families/{mod.rs,query.rs,execute.rs}` mirroring `operations/mixnet/` (state access via `WalletState`, `current_client()?.nyxd`, `BackendError`, auto/simulated gas per D7). Added `nym-node-families-contract-common` path dep to `src-tauri/Cargo.toml`.
+- [x] 1.2 Implemented the 9 **execute** commands over `NodeFamiliesSigningClient`; each returns `TransactionExecuteResult` (a subset of the frontend `FamilyTxResult` — `family_events` omitted per D2, UI re-derives via `refreshAll()`). `create_family` attaches the `create_family_fee` as base-denom funds; all use auto gas (`None`).
+- [x] 1.3 Implemented the **query** commands over `NodeFamiliesQueryClient`. Each paged command flattens the contract envelope into the frontend's `{ items, start_next_after }` (`FamilyPagedResponse<T,C>`); members → `{ node_id, joined_at }`; past-invitation status normalised from the cw_serde tagged enum to `{ kind, at }`.
+- [x] 1.4 Implemented `get_family_config` via raw contract-state read (design D5 — no `GetConfig` smart query): `query_contract_raw(addr, b"config")` → deserialize `Config` → `create_family_fee` converted base→display `DecCoin` so the UI can round-trip it into `create_family`.
+- [x] 1.5 Registered all 18 commands in `main.rs` `invoke_handler`. Confirmed Tauri maps JS camelCase → Rust snake_case (verified against `update_mixnode_cost_params`/`new_costs`); fixed `src/requests/families.ts` execute bindings to pass camelCase keys (`nodeId`/`familyId`/`validitySecs`/`updatedName`/`updatedDescription`) — query bindings already correct.
+- [x] 1.6 `cargo build` + `cargo clippy` clean (only pre-existing `delegate.rs` warning remains; none from `families/`).
 
 ## 2. Types reconciliation
 
 - [x] 2.1 **Generated ts-rs exports** for the node-families contract types. Added a `generate-ts` feature + optional `ts-rs` dep to `nym-node-families-contract-common`, annotated 18 types in `types.rs` (`derive(ts_rs::TS)` + `export_to` under `ts-packages/types/src/types/rust/`, with overrides: `Coin → { denom, amount }`, `Addr → string`, `u64 → number`, tuple cursors `→ [number, number] | null`, `Config` renamed to `FamilyConfig`), wired them into `tools/ts-rs-cli` (dep + `use` + `do_export!`), and ran it → 18 `*.ts` files emitted (FamilyConfig, NodeFamily, NodeFamilyResponse, paged/membership/pending/past responses, etc.). Verified shapes (e.g. `NodeFamily.members: number`, `paid_fee: { denom, amount }`).
-- [ ] 2.2 Reconcile divergences toward the contract-truth shape; update `src/types/families.ts` (and the mock fixtures/engine if a field changes) so mock and real stay at parity.
-- [ ] 2.3 Add/confirm a contract-shape guard (test or ts-rs check) so future contract drift is caught.
+- [x] 2.2 Reconciled field-by-field. Outcome: `src/types/families.ts` is the wallet-facing (IPC-boundary) shape and the Rust command layer translates contract-truth into exactly it — no `families.ts`/mock field changes were needed. Divergences are all handled in `operations/families/query.rs`: base-denom `Coin` → display `DecCoin` (`paid_fee`, `create_family_fee`), per-page contract envelopes → uniform `{ items, start_next_after }`, cw_serde tagged `FamilyInvitationStatus` → `{ kind, at }`. Also fixed the generated `FamilyInvitationStatus` `at` field (`bigint` → `number`, `ts(type="number")` override) and exported all 18 generated family types from the `@nymproject/types` package barrel (`ts-packages/types/src/types/rust/index.ts`).
+- [x] 2.3 Added a compile-time contract-shape guard `src/types/families.contract-guard.ts`: `tsc`/ForkTsChecker-checked `Equal<>` assertions between the wallet types and the committed ts-rs-generated contract types (imported by relative path). 1:1 types asserted whole; the IPC-normalised fields (`paid_fee`/`create_family_fee`, paged envelopes, status union) excluded with a documented reason. Drift on any other field breaks the build. Guard passes; families Jest suite green (43).
 
 ## 3. Real provider wiring (replace mock in the running app)
 
-- [ ] 3.1 In `FamiliesContextProvider`, replace the `controlledNodeIds = []` stub with a derivation from the connected account's bonded nodes (design D3); resilient when none.
-- [ ] 3.2 Verify the production `/family` route renders live data via the real provider (no `data-testid`/UI change); mock entry remains e2e-only.
-- [ ] 3.3 Manual smoke on a dev network: sign in, open Family, confirm queries resolve and an execute (e.g. create on a throwaway account) reflects back after refresh.
+- [x] 3.1 Replaced the `controlledNodeIds = []` stub in `FamiliesContextProvider` with a derivation from `useBondingContext().bondedNode`: `[nodeId]` for a nym-node, `[mixId]` for a legacy mixnode, `[]` for a gateway / no bond (an account bonds ≤1 node — design D3, see §note below). Wrapped the `/family` route (`FamilyPageRoute`) in `BondingContextProvider` so the data is available (it's per-route, not global).
+- [x] 3.2 Verified structurally: `/family` → `FamilyPageWithProvider` now mounts `BondingContextProvider` → `FamiliesContextProvider` → `FamilyPage`; queries point at `defaultQueries` (real Tauri requests); no `data-testid`/UI change; the mock entry (`main.mock.tsx` → `MockFamiliesContextProvider`) is untouched and e2e-only. tsc shows no families/bonding errors; full render-vs-chain confirmation is part of 3.3.
+- [ ] 3.3 **(manual — needs running wallet + dev/sandbox network)** Sign in, open Family, confirm queries resolve and an execute reflects back after refresh. Overlaps the §4/§5 sandbox runs.
+
+> **Note (D3 / §5 reality):** on the real chain an account controls **at most one** bonded node, so `controlledNodeIds` is 0–1 long. The mock's multi-node operator persona (3 nodes) cannot be reproduced from a single sandbox account; the multi-node operator journey stays a mock/Storybook-only scenario.
