J300: the host-removal confirmation is badly designed (owner, production 74b9c4d80)

Owner reaction: "wtf?" and "it's just that the removal design is really bad!"

Screenshot (attached below): terminal window on host ssh open, "Remove code?" shown anchored to the ssh window's machine pill.

What is wrong:

Wrong anchor: it removes host code but points at the ssh window's pill.
The primary button label is a whole sentence ("Remove a host and uninstall its infraternal agent.", the server action's description) and overflows the popover.
"Keep host" floats as faint text instead of a real button beside the primary.
Terminal text behind the popover is legible through the glass.
The body text visually overlaps the terminal listing.

Plan (redesign, not a patch), TASTE row "A confirmation belongs to what it acts on":

Anchor to the removed host's own row/pill, or centred like the palette when started from the palette.
Short side-by-side verbs ("Remove code" / "Keep"); the shared mountConfirmTip caps and never wraps a button label past the edge.
Glass dense enough that no text behind is readable.
Browser spec first, then screenshots at 1440x900, 393x852, 375x667 in ink and paper.

Branch fix-removal-confirm from origin/dev (base 5f529c3c8). Estimate: ~2 h.

Started. Branch fix-removal-confirm, base 5f529c3c86 (origin/dev). Worktree on code: ~/Developer/Worktrees/infraternal-j300. Builds and browser specs go to compute01 through build-slot.

Finding: the palette path (palette-actions.on-demand.ts kind removehost) anchors to active?.card.pill, the focused window, not the removed host. host-removal.on-demand.ts passes the server action label (a description) as confirmLabel.

Progress (head 2f59e6a86 on fix-removal-confirm, pushed). verify quick is queued on compute01 (build-slot position 9); result follows.

Evidence (compute01 ~/.cache/codex-scratch/j300/, local copies /tmp/j300/shots on the control host):

Red on origin/dev: red.log, 12 of 12 fail, first assertion data-side is bottom (anchored to the focused window's pill) instead of center.
Green on the branch: host-removal-confirm.spec.ts, 12 tests (1440x900, 393x852, 375x667 x ink/paper x overview/dense terminal): the 6 overview cases passed in run7 (57.6s), the 6 dense cases passed in run9 (1.4m). Screenshots in evidence/removal-confirm/*.png.

What changed: palette removal passes no anchor, so the shared mountConfirmTip centres it (no tail). Buttons are "Remove " and "Keep", side by side, labels capped at 28 chars with an ellipsis inside the button. Confirmation blur is 32 px at every card level. The server action's description is no longer used as a button.

Caveats: the spec asserts the blur from the computed backdrop-filter, not by reading pixels. On desktop the dense capture mostly covers empty terminal rows, so no text sits directly behind the card there.

Correction and status. The pushed head is d5edf50b1790c089a3a75586cda7f138a37d1a33 (the earlier comment's 2f59e6a86 is the same commit rebased onto the VM's origin/dev).

verify quick run 1 (~claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j300/quick.log): FAIL on one row, "doc comments on diff" (8 touched items without a D345 comment); every other row printed PASS (scope guard, migration names, Nix Cargo vendoring, fmt, doc coverage ratchet, shape lints, fixed test waits). Fixed in the second commit (comments only). Rerun is queued as quick2.log.

Blocked: compute01 is at 21 GB free (floor 25 GB), so build-slot is holding every queued job, mine included (13 queued). My own footprint is about 1 GB. Other jobs' targets are the cause; I did not touch them. I will keep polling.

J313 review of fix-removal-confirm @ d5edf50b1: REQUEST CHANGES

Method: production tracer build on compute01 (worktree ~claude/worktrees/j313, port 4813, DPR 2). Scratch-only patch to the test double, not for merge: every host shows a 70-line ls -la, and __j313 exposes the canvas context. Spec test/j313-review.spec.ts, 18 of 19 checks ran, log ~claude/j313-run.log, shots ~claude/j313-shots/ (24 PNGs, copy at /tmp/j313/shots on the control host). I also looked at all 12 of J300's shots.

1. BLOCKER: text is still legible behind the card on desktop (the owner's third complaint is not fixed).
Owner's case: dense ls -la in host A's windows, "Remove a host" for host B from ⌘K at 1440×900. The card sits centred over the nix-cache window. In the 2× crops (A-palette-desktop-ink-crop.png, A-palette-desktop-paper-crop.png) I can read rows behind the card: "-rwxr-xr-x. 4 root root 16709 Nov", ".bash_his", ".bashrc.b", "infraternal", "authorize", and "-rw-r--r--. 3 root root 157…" under the Keep button. The same ghosting shows in the pill-anchored shot C-pill-desktop-ink.png ("100 Nov", "1077 Nov", "lrwxrwxrwx"). Computed backdrop-filter is blur(32px) saturate(1.6) on the tip, so J300's spec passes, but pixels show the blur does not reach the terminal text. Likely the terminal text is drawn on a layer outside the tip's backdrop root, or an ancestor stops it. This is what J300 flagged as unverified, and it fails. TASTE "Glass shows colour, never legible text" is violated in ink and paper. Fix: find why the backdrop does not blur the terminal layer (or give the confirmation an opaque or near-opaque fill over text-dense content), and make the spec read pixels (screenshot crop vs a reference) instead of the computed style.

2. Phone: not proven either way. At 393×852 and 375×667 the focused window is build-01, whose screen stays at an empty $ in the double, so there is still no text behind the card on phone (my dense patch did not reach that window). Layout is fine in all 12 phone shots (centred, 9 px insets, both buttons inside, no tail). The ghosting finding from #1 will apply there once text is behind it.

3. Long names: the 28-char truncation cuts badly. infraternal-dev-02-std.vpn.kayg.org renders the button as "Remove infraternal-dev-02-s…" (B-long-phone-paper.png, all 6 long-name shots the same). It cuts the identifying "std" and ".vpn.kayg.org", so two similar hosts would look the same. The title already shows the full name and wraps cleanly (Remove infraternal-dev-02- / std.vpn.kayg.org?). Recommend: button "Remove" plus "Keep", name only in the title (the title says what is being removed, which also removes the repeated name). Keep the 28-char cap as a safety net in mountConfirmTip, but the host-removal button should not rely on it. The button's aria-label keeps the full text today; keep that.

4. Anchoring from the host's own pill: OK. With the removed host's own window pill as anchor (nix-cache while another window is focused), data-side="bottom", the tail points at that pill, and it is clear of the focused window's pill (C-pill-*, 6 shots). Caveat: I called hostRemoval.remove(…, pill) directly. I did not drive the real sidebar row action or the machine-details "Remove host" button, which were not exercised.

5. Keyboard. Initial focus is "Keep". Tab goes Keep → "Remove edge-arm" → out of the popover to the page behind (not trapped; same as the other confirmations, noting it). Escape closes it with no removal and no toast. Enter immediately after opening: my spec step failed on a bug of mine (the second palette open), so I did not observe it. Because focus starts on Keep, Enter means Keep, so an accidental Enter cannot remove. Untested, not observed to fail.

Also fine: centred within ±1 px, no tail from ⌘K, Keep and Remove on one centre line, both inside the box, no clipping at 375 px, 12 of J300's shots look right on layout.

Needs before approval: fix #1 with a pixel-level check over dense text on desktop, recommend change for #3, and put real text behind the card on phone for #2.

Round 2 status (J300), head 775d8ffdc56ac55cbaf17dfb6f00392347a0cd60 on fix-removal-confirm, pushed. Not merged.

Approach changed after J313's review (comment 82668), as the orchestrator directed: the confirmation is now a solid card, not glass.

mountConfirmTip fills with --overlay-solid and drops the backdrop filter at every transparency setting, including reduced transparency. All confirmations get it.
The host-removal button is plain "Remove"; the full host name is only in the title. The 28-character cap stays as a safety net.
Spec host-removal-confirm.spec.ts writes a dense listing into the live terminal and the preview windows, then compares screenshots with and without the terminal stage: no pixel inside the card may change (inset 8 px, delta over 7 of 255), while more than 2000 pixels around it do. It also covers Enter right after opening (focus starts on Keep, so the host stays).

Evidence so far (compute01 ~/.cache/codex-scratch/j300/):

Green, previous threshold (delta over 12): 7 of 7 passed, r2d.log run before the tolerance change plus the evidence/removal-confirm/*.png set I looked at: 6 screenshots (1440x900, 393x852, 375x667, ink and paper), dense text all around, solid card, nothing readable inside it, including over the live terminal on phone.
Red with the opaque rule reverted to blur(32px) (red2.log): paper fails at all three sizes (58468, 40229 and 38039 pixels changed inside the card). Ink passed at the old threshold, which is why I lowered it to 7.

Not finished: the red and green rerun at the final threshold, and verify quick. The first verify quick of this round failed the tracer typecheck row on my spec (array destructuring under noUncheckedIndexedAccess); fixed in this head. All of those were queued on compute01 when its maintenance froze build-slot; the restart will cut them, so that is not a test failure. I will resubmit once, in the foreground, after the orchestrator posts that compute01 is back.

Open for the owner: TASTE row "Floating cards are clearly translucent" still lists confirmations among the glass cards; it needs an amendment, which I have not edited.

Round 2 results at the final threshold (head 775d8ffdc; on compute01 the same three commits sit on origin/dev fba745051). The compute01 restart did cut the earlier queued runs; these are the resubmitted ones.

Red/green of the pixel spec (host-removal-confirm.spec.ts, 7 tests; per-pixel delta over 7 of 255 counts, inside the card inset 8 px):

Green, branch as pushed: 7 passed (~claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j300/r3a.log, second half).
Red, same spec with the opaque rule reverted to blur(32px) (~claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j300/red2.log): 6 of the 6 size/theme cases fail, in ink and in paper. Pixels changed inside the card: desktop ink 28078, desktop paper 58701, phone ink 6956, phone paper 40461, small-phone ink 1196, small-phone paper 38251. The Enter test passes in red, as it should (it does not depend on the fill). So ink is caught too; no further tightening was needed.

Screenshots, production build, dense ls -la in the live terminal and every preview window, card started from the palette (attached below; also compute01:~/.cache/codex-scratch/j300/evidence/removal-confirm/). I looked at all six: card centred, tail-less, "Keep" and "Remove" side by side inside it, full host name in the title, solid card in both themes, no terminal text readable inside it, including over the live terminal on phone.

verify quick is still waiting in the build-slot queue (position 18 for over an hour); result follows.

QUICK pre-check passed. This is not the gate: run scripts/verify fast before reporting done.

Not run: verify fast (the task asked for quick). Red/green and screenshots are in the previous comment. The TASTE row "Floating cards are clearly translucent" is untouched.

J335 review of fix-removal-confirm @ 775d8ffdc5 (round 2): REQUEST CHANGES

The owner's three complaints are fixed in pixels. Two existing browser specs now fail because of the change, though, and J300 only ran verify quick, so nobody saw them.

Method: production tracer build on compute01 through build-slot (worktrees ~claude/worktrees/j335 = branch, j335-base = origin/dev fba745051; nix develop … cargo --version checked first). DPR 2. Phone sizes run in a touch context (hasTouch, isMobile, so pointer: coarse is true; J300's spec runs phone sizes with a mouse). Dense ls -la in the live terminal and every preview window. Scratch spec j335-review.spec.ts (not for merge), logs and metrics in compute01:~/.cache/codex-scratch/j335/evidence/ (run-branch.log, run-base.log, run-existing.log, run-existing-base.log, metrics-{branch,base}.jsonl, 56 PNGs). Spec result: 21 of 27 passed on both branch and base; the 6 red are my "details popover" step (a harness bug of mine, never reached the card), so the machine-details "Remove host" button is not exercised.

Findings

P1. The change turns two existing browser specs red (they pass on origin/dev).

add-host-prototype.spec.ts:240 "the shared confirmation is compact, icon-only and quiet on open": expects the confirmation to share the card material, got rgb(30,31,33) / none against rgba(28,28,30,0.7) / blur(8px) saturate(1.6).
mesh.spec.ts:1226 "every glass surface of the Mesh view blurs…": expect(blur(tip)).toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(16), got 0.
Both encode the old translucent rule, so they need updating together with the TASTE decision (below). Proof they pass on base: run-existing-base.log (3 passed, which includes both); fail on branch: run-existing.log. Ten other failures in that run (startup-demo ×6, sign-out ×2, mesh:360, sessions-canvas:171) fail identically on origin/dev, so they are not from this change.

P2. Escape on a palette-started removal drops focus to <body>. A centred card has a detached span as anchor, so close(true) skips anchor.focus() (anchor.isConnected false). Measured: F-focus-after-escape → BODY. From the sidebar the same Escape returns to the host row (LI|h:edge-arm, E-focus-after-escape). A keyboard user who opened ⌘K from the terminal loses the terminal. Fix: remember document.activeElement at mount and restore it when centred.

P2. Spec teeth are uneven. J300's own red run (red2.log) caught small-phone ink with only 1196 changed pixels, and the "teeth" check (outside > 2000) counts the whole screen, not the strip behind the card. A card placed over a blank part of the terminal would pass a translucent fill too. It did not pass vacuously here (6 of 6 red; I read the pictures: dense text sits right behind the card in all 6), but the ink margin on small phones is thin. Suggest requiring changed pixels in a band around the card (e.g. 40 px) and not only anywhere. Also: the spec's phone cases use a mouse context, so the 44 px touch target is not tested by it. I measured it: 44×44 px on all phone buttons (below).

P3. Centred card is 625 px wide on desktop (anchored ones are 374–487 px), because the centred branch sets maxWidth = innerWidth − 18 and overrides the CSS cap, so the effect line runs on one long line. It looks like a banner, not a compact question (branch-A-palette-desktop-ink.png). Cap it at the same width as anchored cards.

P3. Enter right after opening is only partly observed. J300's spec covers Enter once the Keep button has focus. In my probe (Enter pressed 0, 16 and 60 ms after the card opened) the host was never removed (F-immediate-enter, removedToast: 0), but the card also stayed open in all three, so I could not show "Enter keeps" for the unfocused window. Safe, not fully proven.

P3. Tab leaves the card (Keep → Remove → page): not trapped, same as the other confirmations. Screen reader: dialog "Remove edge-arm" with paragraph, paragraph, buttons "Keep" and "Remove" (G-aria); the title and effect are not wired with aria-labelledby/aria-describedby. Fine, noting only.

Checks

Removal card, palette-started (metrics-branch.jsonl, label A-palette). Centred, no tail, solid: ink rgb(30,31,33), paper rgb(252,252,252), backdrop-filter: none, at 1440×900, 393×852 and 375×667. Title carries the full name, buttons are "Keep" and "Remove", both inside the box, nothing clipped, no readable text inside the card in any of the 6 shots. Touch: Keep and Remove are 44 px high (60 and 78 px wide) on both phones; cards are 375 and 357 px wide (9 px insets). Desktop buttons are 30.8 px (mouse), fine. Anchored to the host's row: from the sidebar (Delete on the edge-arm caption) the tail points at that caption and the card is clear of the focused window (E-sidebar, side: bottom).
Other confirmations (the shared mountConfirmTip callers; all take the solid fill): end session (C-end-*), sign out of this device (D-signout-*), mesh grant move/remove, sidebar remove. Captured end session and sign out at 3 sizes × 2 themes: opaque, anchored to the pill or row, inside the window, icon buttons 44×44 on phone, focus ring preserved on Keep (the existing tests for sign-out touch targets, mesh copy and sidebar Escape all pass on the branch). Not captured by me: add-host and setup-pill confirmations, the settings "Revoke", startup notice (their existing specs pass except startup-demo, which fails identically on base). Access-level "full access" panes use .ui-confirm-bar, not the popover, so they are unchanged.
Keyboard: initial focus Keep; Tab: Keep → Remove → page; Escape keeps with no toast; focus return: see P2.
Pixel spec: reproduced green on the branch (host-removal-confirm.spec.ts 7 of 7 pass in run-existing.log). I did not rerun J300's red (it reverts the fill); I read red2.log and the paper pictures instead: paper reds are large (38–58k px), ink small-phone is 1196 (see P2).
TASTE conflict. The opaque card reads clearly better. On base (translucent, rgba(251,251,251,0.78) + blur 8 px, paper) the row text "785 Nov / 6:16 / 7:17" ghosts through the card edge and beside the buttons (base-A-palette-desktop-paper-crop.png), which is what the owner complained about; on the branch nothing shows through (branch-A-palette-desktop-paper-crop.png). The cost: the card no longer matches the machine popover and add-host card, which stay glass. Two TASTE rows now disagree with the code: row "Floating cards are clearly translucent" still names confirmations, and "A confirmation belongs to what it acts on" still says "the popover's glass hides the terminal text". The owner decides; I did not edit TASTE.

Screenshots attached: branch desktop ink/paper, phone ink, small-phone paper, sidebar-anchored, end session on phone, and base desktop paper/phone ink for the comparison.

Verdict: REQUEST CHANGES (P1: update the two stale specs together with the TASTE amendment; P2: restore focus when centred, tighten the spec's teeth).

Follow-up on the verify fast failure (previous comment). The branch changes no Rust, so I tested whether the two failing infraternal-agent tests fail on unmodified origin/dev (fba745051):

Isolated, --features remote (~claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j300/base2.log): both pass, 2 passed; 0 failed ... finished in 1.34s. (A first attempt without --features remote matched 0 tests and proves nothing; base1.log.)
Whole agent suite three times (base3.log): 284 passed; 0 failed; 23 ignored on each of the three runs (46 s, 59 s, 72 s).
So I could not reproduce the failure on origin/dev. It is not proven pre-existing, and I am not calling it one. The failing run was on a tree based on 37c93637e, older than dev, on a loaded machine.

Because fast failed, I changed the branch once, as allowed: merged origin/dev into it (clean merge, 775d8ffdc stays an ancestor, so J335's review target is intact). New head f9c86fe8c1086b2f83dafc846cd59d6bf3f27b9a. The merge brings one tracer file I did not touch (terminal-refusal.ts, 2 lines) and Rust changes from dev. verify fast is rerunning on the merged head, in the foreground through build-slot; result follows. If it fails the same two tests again on the merged head, I will say so and report it as unexplained rather than waving it off.

J300 round 3: the removal confirmation stays glass, and no text behind it is legible. Head af611ef1957598fa82944662a7d366fb89f65ae5 on fix-removal-confirm (pushed, not merged; f9c86fe8c, the commit J335 reviewed plus the dev merge, is still its ancestor). Owner: "Keep glass, fix contrast".

What was really wrong (this is not a tuning problem). I measured the material over a dense ls -la in a production build. A card's own backdrop-filter fades at the edges of its box, so the unblurred page shows through, and on a ~118 px card that edge zone is most of the card. More blur makes it worse: blur(32px) correlated 0.72 with the unblurred text, blur(8px) 0.41, and blur(64px) 0.88. No CSS variant on the card itself (no saturate, square corners, own layer, will-change, no shadow or border) changed anything, so stronger blur or tint in the shared material cannot satisfy "no glyph legible". The same blur on an oversized layer clipped to the card correlates about 0 at every strength. Probe outputs: dev-02:~/.cache/codex-scratch/j300/probe{3,4,5}.log (PROBE lines).

Change (3 commits, be8a872d9-equivalent after a fixup rebase):

packages/ui: new shared glass-bed.ts plus .ui-glass-bed in the shared styles.css: an oversized, clipped, 32 px blurred layer under the card (about 1.5 terminal lines). The card keeps its own translucent material on top, so it is still glass and colour shows. Off when the card has no blur (Solid level, reduced transparency). mountConfirmTip uses it; the opaque --overlay-solid change is reverted. Also in the shared confirmation: aria-labelledby/aria-describedby, a centred card obeys the stylesheet width cap (374 px at the desktop root size, was a 625 px banner), and a centred card returns focus.
Palette-started removal passes the focused window's binding.focus as returnFocus (not on touch).
Spec host-removal-confirm.spec.ts + glyph-legibility.ts + removal-fixture.ts.

The spec measures pixels, not computed styles. It high-passes the card's region with and without the card and bed (card's own text masked out) and correlates them: about 0 means the glass turned text into colour and shape, toward 1 means strokes survive. It also requires stroke energy behind the card above a floor (about 50 against a limit of 6 here), so a card over blank terminal cannot pass vacuously. 3 viewports x ink/paper x Solid, Tinted, Clear, Frosted; phones run as touch devices (44 px targets asserted).

Green (dev-02 ~/.cache/codex-scratch/j300/final.log): 25 of 25 pass; correlation at most 0.089 in all 24 legibility cases (0.000 Solid; Frosted 0.066 desktop ink, 0.088 phone ink, 0.058 small-phone ink).
Red, same spec with only the bed removed (= today's material, red.log): 17 fail: 16 of the 18 translucent cases at correlation 0.40 to 0.78 (desktop ink Tinted 0.413, desktop paper Tinted 0.399, phone ink Tinted 0.449, Frosted 0.67 to 0.78), plus the focus test. The two small-phone Tinted cases measure 0.14 and 0.10 on today's material and pass; the threshold is 0.2, so they are not claimed as caught.
Focus: Escape on a palette-started removal ends on BODY before the change (green.log of the earlier run: "focus is on BODY#."), on the clicked terminal after; Enter right after opening and again once Keep is focused never removes the host.

J335's two stale specs (add-host-prototype.spec.ts:240, mesh.spec.ts:1226) pass again with the card translucent: dev-02 named.log: 2 passed.

Screenshots, production build, dense listing in the live terminal and every preview window, lowest transparency (Solid) and highest (Frosted), ink and paper, 1440x900, 393x852, 375x667 at 2x. I looked at all 12, plus Tinted desktop paper and Solid/Frosted phones: the Frosted ones show colour and shape through the card and no readable character; Solid is a plain opaque card; Keep and Remove side by side, inside the box, full host name in the title; layout unchanged from round 2.

(An earlier run of the same head failed "doc comments on diff" for two items; fixed in the commits above.)

Not done / for the orchestrator:

verify fast not run this round (task asked for quick). The round-2 fast runs had a different, unexplained timing failure; see the earlier comments.
Other small floating cards (machine popover, add-host card, toast, tooltip) have the same edge zone and would leak the same way; they can adopt attachGlassBed(card) in one call, each with its own check. I did not change them. Worth a decision.
TASTE untouched; the row "Floating cards are clearly translucent" now matches the code again. Worth a line in "Glass shows colour, never legible text" that a card's own blur cannot guarantee it on small cards.

**J300 round 3: the removal confirmation stays glass, and no text behind it is legible.** Head `af611ef1957598fa82944662a7d366fb89f65ae5` on `fix-removal-confirm` (pushed, not merged; `f9c86fe8c`, the commit J335 reviewed plus the dev merge, is still its ancestor). Owner: "Keep glass, fix contrast". **What was really wrong (this is not a tuning problem).** I measured the material over a dense `ls -la` in a production build. A card's own `backdrop-filter` fades at the edges of its box, so the unblurred page shows through, and on a ~118 px card that edge zone is most of the card. More blur makes it worse: `blur(32px)` correlated 0.72 with the unblurred text, `blur(8px)` 0.41, and `blur(64px)` 0.88. No CSS variant on the card itself (no saturate, square corners, own layer, will-change, no shadow or border) changed anything, so stronger blur or tint in the shared material cannot satisfy "no glyph legible". The same blur on an oversized layer clipped to the card correlates about 0 at every strength. Probe outputs: `dev-02:~/.cache/codex-scratch/j300/probe{3,4,5}.log` (PROBE lines). **Change** (3 commits, `be8a872d9`-equivalent after a fixup rebase): 1. `packages/ui`: new shared `glass-bed.ts` plus `.ui-glass-bed` in the shared `styles.css`: an oversized, clipped, 32 px blurred layer under the card (about 1.5 terminal lines). The card keeps its own translucent material on top, so it is still glass and colour shows. Off when the card has no blur (Solid level, reduced transparency). `mountConfirmTip` uses it; the opaque `--overlay-solid` change is reverted. Also in the shared confirmation: `aria-labelledby`/`aria-describedby`, a centred card obeys the stylesheet width cap (374 px at the desktop root size, was a 625 px banner), and a centred card returns focus. 2. Palette-started removal passes the focused window's `binding.focus` as `returnFocus` (not on touch). 3.

J344 review of fix-removal-confirm @ af611ef195 (round 3, vs origin/dev af033d0b4): REQUEST CHANGES

The bed does what the owner asked for in the card's interior: no character is legible at any level, and colour and shape still show through. Two things stop me approving. A faint but readable trace of text survives in the card's outer rim at Clear and Frosted. J300's spec cannot see that rim, so "no readable character" is slightly overstated. No P1.

Method: production tracer build on dev-02 through build-slot (worktrees ~claude/worktrees/j344 = branch, j344-base = origin/dev). DPR 2. Phone sizes are touch contexts. Dense ls -la in the live terminal and every preview window. My scratch spec j344-review.spec.ts is not for merge. Everything is in dev-02:~/.cache/codex-scratch/j344/ (logs r1..r5*.log, ev-r*/j344/{shots.jsonl,focus.jsonl,perf.jsonl,others.jsonl}, about 280 PNGs). I did not run verify.

Findings

P2. Faint, readable text remains in the card's outer ~12 px rim at Clear and Frosted.
Zooms: edge-sheet.png (desktop ink Frosted, right edge) and corner-sheet.png (phone ink Frosted, bottom rim). Top = with bed, middle = bed hidden, bottom = the page without the card. In the phone crop a faint "2 1" and the tops of "Nov" are readable inside the rim. They are low contrast but characters.
Pixel numbers (my metric, a 3–8 px ring just inside the card edge, high-pass correlation with the page behind): without the bed 0.85–0.94 (desktop, small phone) and 0.41–0.49 (phone). With the bed 0.24–0.29 on desktop and small-phone ink Clear and Frosted, 0.10–0.15 on phone, and 0.03–0.12 on Tinted. Stroke energy in the ring falls about 97% (desktop ink Frosted 16.3 → 0.49), so the bed works, but a trace is left where a text row straddles the card edge.
J300's inner region starts 8 px inside the card, so the spec never looks at this band. Suggest: measure a ring band too (without the bed it is 0.85+, so a threshold near 0.5 separates cleanly), then find why the rim leaks (my guess: the card's own backdrop blur, still 32 px at Frosted, re-reads the unblurred page at its edge). Possibly the card should drop its own blur where the bed provides it.

P2. The spec cannot tell glass from opaque, and its red/green split rests on the inner region only.

Solid and every opaque card give corr 0.000, the same as perfect glass. Nothing in this spec fails if the confirmation silently becomes opaque. The translucency is guarded only by the two computed-style specs (they pass, see 5). I measured translucency myself: with coloured content behind, low-frequency correlation is 0.32–0.52 at Tinted, Clear and Frosted against about 0 for Solid.
Not vacuous: text energy behind the card is 48–55 against a floor of 6. A card over blank terminal would fail. I'd raise the floor to about 30. The oracle works: with the card's material and the bed removed, corr = 1.0 in all 6 Frosted cases I ran.
I reproduced J300's red: without the bed, inner corr is 0.41–0.79 in 16 of 18 translucent cases. Small-phone Tinted gives 0.161 ink and 0.123 paper, under the 0.2 threshold, so a regression there goes unnoticed. The ring would catch it (0.89–0.91 without the bed), another reason to add the ring.
Gap: the spec covers only the palette-started centred card. The anchored card (sidebar Delete, pill) is not pixel-checked. In my sidebar-started captures only 3.5–29 stroke energy sits behind the card (mostly sidebar blank), so my sidebar numbers prove little too. I read the pictures: no readable text, but this case has no real test.

P3. The confirmation is no longer the same material as the other cards. Its effective blur is the bed's 32 px at every level (Tinted is 8 px on the machine popover and add-host card), and the saturation stacks twice (bed and card both saturate(1.6)). TASTE says "one shared material, tuned once, never per card". Fine if the owner accepts it for small cards, but it should be stated in TASTE. I did not capture a side-by-side over colour.

P3. Over a monochrome terminal the levels look almost the same. On ink, Tinted, Clear and Frosted are barely distinguishable from Solid (levels-phone-ink.png, levels-small-phone-ink.png). On paper Clear and Frosted are visibly greyer. Over coloured content the glass is clearly there and the levels differ (sheets-colour-desktop-ink.png, colour-trio.png). That is the nature of fog from white text on black, not a bug, but the owner's old line "I genuinely can't see the difference between the 4" can come back on a dense plain terminal.

P3. Tab leaves the card (Keep → Remove → page). Not trapped, same as the other confirmations; unchanged from J335's note.

Checks

Captures (production build; 3 sizes × ink/paper × Solid/Tinted/Clear/Frosted = 24, plus 4 sidebar-started, plus 16 coloured). I read all six level sheets, which cover the 24 cases (levels-*.png, 2×2 grids: Solid top-left, Tinted top-right, Clear bottom-left, Frosted bottom-right). No whole character is legible inside the card at any level; Solid is a plain opaque card; buttons sit side by side inside the box; the full host name is in the title. Visibly glass: yes over colour (middle panel of colour-trio.png shows the card taking the warm tint of the blocks behind, no text), marginal over a plain monochrome listing (P3 above). Not effectively opaque: with colour behind, shape correlation is 0.3–0.5 at the three glass levels. Edge rim: see the first P2.
Pixel spec honesty: see the second P2.
Performance (headless Chromium, software compositing, so only relative numbers mean anything; 8 reps per cell, bed on and off interleaved; CDP trace plus rAF; phone 393×852 and 375×667, touch, DPR 2, Tinted and Frosted; perf.jsonl in ev-r3-perf-branch and ev-r4-base). At 1× CPU, p95 frame 16.7–16.8 ms and zero dropped frames in all variants. At 4× CPU throttle: bed 5 single 33 ms frames out of 2398, bed hidden 0 of 2296, origin/dev (anchored card) 4 of 2406. So no measurable jank versus origin/dev; the 0 vs 5 gap is within what base also shows. Median RasterTask about 2.0–2.2 ms with the bed against about 1.5–1.8 ms on base at 1×; Paint, Layerize, UpdateLayer equal. No long tasks. Caveat: this is not a phone GPU, and I did not measure on a real device.
Focus, ARIA, targets, cap (focus.jsonl): palette-started with the terminal focused: Escape returns to #terminal-host (Terminal input); clicking Keep also returns there. Sidebar-started (Delete on the edge-arm caption): the card is anchored (data-side=bottom), initial focus Keep, Escape returns to the LI.bm-row[data-id=h:edge-arm]. On both phones (touch, nothing focused) Keep tap and Escape leave focus on BODY, not on an input, so no keyboard is summoned. Tab: Keep → Remove → BODY → the page (not trapped; P3). dialog is named by its title ("Remove edge-arm?") and described by its effect line ("Revoke its access, forget its SSH key and uninstall the infraternal agent.") through aria-labelledby and aria-describedby. Touch targets: Keep 60×44 and Remove 78×44 on both phones. Width cap: 374 px on desktop at root font 17.6 px (21.25 rem), 340 px on the phones.
J335's two specs: add-host-prototype.spec.ts:240 and mesh.spec.ts:1226 pass. J300's own spec file runs 25 of 25 green and its Escape/Enter test passes: r1-specs.log, 27 passed (4.0m). The correlations match J300's (max 0.089; my own run of the same cases gives max 0.094).
Other floating cards over a dense terminal, on origin/dev (not fixed, as asked; others.jsonl, 40 captures at Tinted and Frosted, ink and paper, 3 sizes). Correlation uses the whole card minus its own text.
- Toast: text legible. Corr 0.71–0.73 at Tinted desktop, 0.92 at Frosted desktop, 0.48–0.72 at Frosted phone sizes. Row text ("-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1196 Nov 3 18:18") reads through it (toast-desktop-ink-frosted.png, toast-phone-paper-frosted.png). Worst of the four; tiny card.
- Machine popover: text legible at the edges. Interior corr 0.00–0.29, edge ring 0.94–1.0 on desktop (right-hand margin and bottom strip, machine-desktop-paper-frosted.png: "lan-links.c", "authorized_key", "-rw-r--r--. 2 root root 10649 Nov 6" readable). Frosted phone sizes 0.15–0.24 inside.
- Tooltip: not a fair test. On desktop it sits over the empty canvas above the window header (3.1 stroke energy behind, tooltip-desktop-paper-frosted.png); corr numbers are meaningless there. Over terminal text it has the same edge zone; not captured on touch (long press), say so.
- Add-host card: not tested by this flow. It opens in its own empty "Add hosts" window, so nothing dense is behind it (addhost-desktop-ink-frosted.png; 0.1–1.2 energy behind).
  So J300's claim holds for the toast and the machine popover; the tooltip and add-host card could not be shown with this fixture.

Screenshots (attached)

levels-desktop-ink/paper, levels-phone-ink/paper, levels-small-phone-ink/paper (the 24 level cases as six 2×2 sheets), edge-sheet, corner-sheet, sheets-colour-desktop-ink, sheets-colour-phone-paper, colour-trio, sidebar-phone-ink-frosted, and the origin/dev cards toast-desktop-ink-frosted, toast-phone-paper-frosted, machine-desktop-paper-frosted, tooltip-desktop-paper-frosted, addhost-desktop-ink-frosted.

Not done: no real-device or Mac GPU frame measurement; no verify run (reviewers don't); product (non-test-double) path not exercised.

Verdict: REQUEST CHANGES. Fix and prove: the rim trace (P2) and add a ring check to the spec (P2). The rest is P3 for the owner. Head reviewed: af611ef1957598fa82944662a7d366fb89f65ae5.

Sidebar-started (`Delete` on the `edge-arm` caption): the card is anchored (`data-side=bottom`), initial focus Keep, Escape returns to the `LI.bm-row[data-id=h:edge-arm]`. On both phones (touch, nothing focused) Keep tap and Escape leave focus on `BODY`, not on an input, so no keyboard is summoned. Tab: Keep → Remove → BODY → the page (not trapped; P3). `dialog` is named by its title ("Remove edge-arm?") and described by its effect line ("Revoke its access, forget its SSH key and uninstall the infraternal agent.") through `aria-labelledby` and `aria-describedby`. Touch targets: Keep 60×44 and Remove 78×44 on both phones. Width cap: 374 px on desktop at root font 17.6 px (21.25 rem), 340 px on the phones. 5. **J335's two specs:** `add-host-prototype.spec.ts:240` and `mesh.spec.ts:1226` pass. J300's own spec file runs 25 of 25 green and its Escape/Enter test passes: `r1-specs.log`, `27 passed (4.0m)`. The correlations match J300's (max 0.089; my own run of the same cases gives max 0.094). 6. **Other floating cards over a dense terminal, on origin/dev** (not fixed, as asked; `others.jsonl`, 40 captures at Tinted and Frosted, ink and paper, 3 sizes). Correlation uses the whole card minus its own text. - **Toast: text legible.** Corr 0.71–0.73 at Tinted desktop, 0.92 at Frosted desktop, 0.48–0.72 at Frosted phone sizes. Row text ("-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1196 Nov 3 18:18") reads through it (`toast-desktop-ink-frosted.png`, `toast-phone-paper-frosted.png`). Worst of the four; tiny card. - **Machine popover: text legible at the edges.** Interior corr 0.00–0.29, edge ring 0.94–1.0 on desktop (right-hand margin and bottom strip, `machine-desktop-paper-frosted.png`: "lan-links.c", "authorized_key", "-rw-r--r--. 2 root root 10649 Nov 6" readable). Frosted phone sizes 0.15–0.24 inside. - **Tooltip:** not a fair test. On desktop it sits over the empty canvas above the window header (3.1 stroke energy behind, `tooltip-desktop-paper-frosted.png`); corr numbers are meaningless there. Over terminal text it has the same edge zone; not captured on touch (long press), say so. - **Add-host card:** not tested by this flow. It opens in its own empty "Add hosts" window, so nothing dense is behind it (`addhost-desktop-ink-frosted.png`; 0.1–1.2 energy behind). So J300's claim holds for the toast and the machine popover; the tooltip and add-host card could not be shown with this fixture. ## Screenshots (attached) `levels-desktop-ink/paper`, `levels-phone-ink/paper`, `levels-small-phone-ink/paper` (the 24 level cases as six 2×2 sheets), `edge-sheet`, `corner-sheet`, `sheets-colour-desktop-ink`, `sheets-colour-phone-paper`, `colour-trio`, `sidebar-phone-ink-frosted`, and the origin/dev cards `toast-desktop-ink-frosted`, `toast-phone-paper-frosted`, `machine-desktop-paper-frosted`, `tooltip-desktop-paper-frosted`, `addhost-desktop-ink-frosted`. Not done: no real-device or Mac GPU frame measurement; no `verify` run (reviewers don't); product (non-test-double) path not exercised. **Verdict: REQUEST CHANGES.** Fix and prove: the rim trace (P2) and add a ring check to the spec (P2). The rest is P3 for the owner. Head reviewed: `af611ef1957598fa82944662a7d366fb89f65ae5`.

J300 round 4 (J344's findings). Head eee0ed2a9c4f1fafbf8a28287e5f75c877a03cbf on fix-removal-confirm (pushed, not merged): 654e2034d plus a merge of origin/dev (37 commits). Material commit 604baef3b, spec commit 654e2034d. Toast and machine popover untouched, as asked.

P2 edge trace. The bed reached 2 blur radii; a CSS blur's radius is a standard deviation and its kernel runs to about 3, so the bed's own edge fade sat inside the blur. It now reaches 3. I measured whether more helps: 6 gives rim 0.13 against 0.14, removing the card's own filter makes the rim worse (0.21), unclipping the bed changes nothing (probe logs dev-02:~/.cache/codex-scratch/j300/rim.log). So 3 is enough; a small residual remains at Frosted on phones (rim correlation up to 0.25 sidebar, 0.15 palette; 0.00 to 0.02 on desktop), visually no readable character in the crops.
P2 spec. It now measures the whole card inside its rounded corners, the outer 14 px rim separately, and the inner part. Thresholds: whole card < 0.15, rim < 0.3, text energy behind the card > 30 (palette cases; measured 47 to 55). It also photographs the card over a coloured block and requires colour/shape correlation > 0.4 at Tinted, Clear and Frosted (measured 0.63 to 0.98) and < 0.2 at Solid (measured 0.08). It adds the sidebar-started anchored card at Tinted and Frosted on 3 viewports and both themes. 37 tests: 24 palette + 12 sidebar + focus/Enter; phones are touch contexts.
P3 material. The bed now takes its blur from the card's own computed per-level value (8, 24, 32 px for Tinted, Clear, Frosted) and adds no saturation, so there is one material in packages/ui and no fixed 32 px.

Red/green (dev-02 ~/.cache/codex-scratch/j300/):

Green final4.log: 37 of 37 pass on the merged head (also 37 of 37 on 654e2034d, r4-host-removal-confirm.log).
Red, bed stubbed out = today's material (r4-nobed.log): 28 of 37 fail. Small-phone Tinted whole-card correlation 0.427 ink, 0.420 paper (it was 0.161 and 0.123 in the inner region alone, which is why the old spec missed it). The 9 that pass are the 6 Solid cases, the focus test, and sidebar phone Tinted (0.143 ink, 0.047 paper, below 0.15): on phones the sidebar card sits mostly over the sidebar's blank rows, so the sidebar cases do not catch a missing bed there. The palette cases do.
Red, opaque card instead of glass (r4-opaque.log): 30 of 37 fail, all on the new colour check ("the card is glass: colour and shape from behind show through"); text checks pass for it, as they should.
J335's two stale specs (add-host-prototype.spec.ts:240, mesh.spec.ts:1226): 2 passed (named4.log).

Screenshots (production build, dense listing in the live terminal and previews): 2x2 sheets of Solid, Tinted, Clear, Frosted (the 24 cases as 6 sheets), the same over the coloured block (6 sheets, glass visibly takes the colours at Tinted to Frosted, Solid is flat), and the sidebar-started card (6 sheets, Tinted left and Frosted right). I looked at all 6 text sheets, the desktop-ink and phone-paper colour sheets, and the desktop-paper and phone-ink sidebar sheets. No readable character inside the card anywhere. Attached below.

J300 round 4, verify fast result on eee0ed2a9c4f1fafbf8a28287e5f75c877a03cbf: FAIL on the test row, three times, a different Rust test each time; not a pass, and I am not calling it one. Branch changes 12 TS/CSS files (apps/tracer, packages/ui) and no Rust (git diff --name-only origin/dev...HEAD -- crates Cargo.* is empty).

run	log (compute01 `~claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j300/`)	failing test	rows other than `test`
1	`fast3.log`	`infraternal-plugin-desktop` `helper::startup_recovery_tests::delta_before_startup_keyframe_requests_repair_before_delivery` ("startup delta must trigger a repair keyframe: Disconnected")	all PASS (privileged integration SKIP)
2	`fast4.log`	9 tests in `infraternal-plugin-ssh` `tests/install.rs` ("Setup is already running on this host"); suite took 308 s, load average 33	all PASS but `test`
3	`fast5.log`, fresh state root `/tmp/j300u`	`infraternal-plugin-ssh` `tests/previous_attempt_shell.rs` `shared_ownership_shell_preserves_recovery_and_refusal_invariants` (failed after 145 s), load 12 to 33	all PASS but `test`

Final table of run 3 (fast5-table.txt), non-PASS rows only: test FAIL (101), privileged integration SKIP. The earlier run on 775d8ffdc (fast1.log) also failed test on two different infraternal-agent timing tests (Elapsed).

What I could and could not show:

Run in isolation, the same code passes: the desktop-plugin tests 4 of 4 on origin/dev 21b3c84ce and on this head (desk2.log); infraternal-plugin-ssh --test install 107 passed, 0 failed in 22 s on origin/dev 6b1bdb81b and 107 of 107 on this head, twice each, with a fresh state root (ssh.log). Earlier, the agent suite passed three times on origin/dev and the two named tests passed alone (base2.log, base3.log).
So I could not reproduce any of these failures on unmodified origin/dev or on this head in isolation, and I did not run the full verify fast on unmodified origin/dev, so I cannot say a green fast is achievable on this machine right now. The pattern (different test each time, all timing or process-race tests in crates this branch does not touch, failures after minutes on a machine at load 12 to 33) fits load, but it is a pattern, not proof.
The new browser spec is not part of fast; it ran 37 of 37 green on dev-02 on the merged head (final4.log).

Needs the orchestrator: a verify fast that runs on an idle compute01 or on unmodified origin/dev for comparison; I stopped after three runs to stop taking build slots. All my scratch worktrees and targets on both VMs are deleted.

J355 review of fix-removal-confirm @ eee0ed2a9c (round 4, vs origin/dev 027a3a78b): APPROVE

Palette-started card: no character is legible anywhere at any level, rim included. Material is the same as the machine popover. No dropped frames versus dev. Two P2 follow-ups, neither blocking; the owner may still want them first.

Method: production tracer on dev-02 through build-slot (worktrees ~claude/worktrees/j355 = branch, j355-base = origin/dev; both removed with my targets afterwards). DPR 2, phones are touch contexts. I reused J344's scratch harness plus a new side-by-side part (dev-02:~/.cache/codex-scratch/j355/j355-review.spec.ts, not for merge). Evidence: ~/.cache/codex-scratch/j355/ev-a2-shots/j355/{shots.jsonl,focus.jsonl,others.jsonl,shots/,full/}, ev-b-perf-branch, ev-c-perf-base; sheets in ev-a2-shots/sheets/. 86 capture tests passed (a2-shots.log), 16+8 perf cells. I did not run verify and did not re-run J300's own spec (J344 reproduced the previous version; I ran my own pixel checks instead).

Findings

P2. Sidebar-started card on a phone still leaks a sliver at its rim; the spec's 14 px band is too wide to see it. My ring metric (3–8 px just inside the edge, high-pass correlation with the page behind) gives sidebar phone Frosted 0.71 ink, 0.41 paper with the bed (0.91/0.76 without), against 0.00 on sidebar desktop and 0.01–0.14 on every palette-started case (J344 saw 0.24–0.29 on desktop in round 3, so the fix works there). Visually (rim-zoom-sidebar-phone-ink.png, top = with bed): one or two glyph fragments ("8", "-") sit on the card's left border and the page's own text straddles the bottom border. Nothing is readable as a word. Energy behind that ring is only 3.5–4.4 (the sidebar's blank rows), so part of the correlation is the card's own border/antialiasing on a near-empty ring, which is why I rate it P2 and not P1. J300 already reports 0.25 for this case; the spec threshold (rim < 0.3 over 14 px) passes it. Suggest: measure a thinner outer ring (3–8 px) too, or raise the sidebar floor, so the check can see it; consider whether the anchored phone card needs a bed reach above 3σ. I did not test that.

P2. Spec honesty: mostly honest, two holes. (a) The ring above. (b) Sidebar-started phone Tinted does not catch a missing bed (J300 says so: 0.143 / 0.047 vs 0.15 limit). The palette cases (24) do catch it (small-phone Tinted 0.42 without bed), and the colour check makes an opaque card fail, so palette coverage is enough for the centred card. The anchored card is covered only at Tinted/Frosted, and on phones only weakly, so the anchored phone card is the least protected path. J300's 37/37, 28/37 (no bed) and 30/37 (opaque) are plausible; I reproduced the bed-off/on difference with my own metric (ring 0.43–0.94 without bed, 0.01–0.14 with).

P3. The confirmation shows slightly less colour than the machine popover. Same blur per level and one saturate (blur(8px)/blur(24px)/blur(32px) saturate(1.6) on machine popover and confirmation alike; the palette is its larger-size level, 30.8 px at Tinted). But the bed's blur stacks under the card's own, so low-frequency colour correlation is a bit lower: Tinted desktop ink 0.68 vs 0.91 machine, Clear 0.54 vs 0.72, Frosted 0.49 vs 0.69. Over coloured content the three read as one family (sbs-*.png); over a plain white-on-black listing the confirmation looks nearly opaque at all levels (text-phone-ink.png). Stated for the owner, not a defect.

P3. Tab leaves the card (Keep → Remove → page), unchanged from earlier rounds.

Checks

Captures: 3 sizes × ink/paper × Tinted/Clear/Frosted (text sheets), plus colourful side-by-side of machine popover / palette / confirmation at each level (6 sheets). I read the text sheets for phone ink, desktop paper and the colour sheets for phone ink and desktop paper: no readable character inside any card, buttons side by side, full host name in the title. Rim at 2×: clean on palette-started cards; see P2 for the sidebar phone.
Spec: see the second P2.
Performance (headless Chromium, software compositing: only relative numbers mean anything; 8 reps/cell, bed on/off interleaved; ev-b-perf-branch/j355/perf.jsonl, ev-c-perf-base/j355/perf.jsonl). 1× CPU: p95 16.7–16.8 ms and 0 frames over 20 ms in every cell on branch (bed and no bed) and on origin/dev. 4× CPU: branch with bed 1–2 frames over 20 ms per cell (none over 33.4 ms; one single 33.3 ms in four of the cells), no bed 0, origin/dev 1 per cell (one over 33.4). Median RasterTask with the bed 2.1–2.4 ms against 1.6–2.0 on dev. No long tasks. Not a phone GPU; no real-device frame trace.
Keyboard / ARIA / targets (focus.jsonl): palette-started, Escape and Keep click return focus to the terminal; open focus lands on Keep; role=dialog, aria-labelledby = "Remove edge-arm?", aria-describedby = the effect line; sidebar-started card is anchored (data-side=bottom) and Escape returns to the host row. Phones: Keep 60×44, Remove 78×44, card 340 px; nothing summons the keyboard. Desktop card 374 px at root 17.6 px.

Not done: no real iPhone or Mac GPU capture; the add-host card and tooltip were not re-captured (unchanged); J300's spec not re-run by me.

Head reviewed: eee0ed2a9c4f1fafbf8a28287e5f75c877a03cbf. Verdict: APPROVE (two P2 follow-ups for the sidebar phone rim and the spec's ring width).

**J355 review of `fix-removal-confirm` @ eee0ed2a9c4f1fafbf8a28287e5f75c877a03cbf (round 4, vs origin/dev 027a3a78b): APPROVE** Palette-started card: no character is legible anywhere at any level, rim included. Material is the same as the machine popover. No dropped frames versus dev. Two P2 follow-ups, neither blocking; the owner may still want them first. Method: production tracer on dev-02 through build-slot (worktrees `~claude/worktrees/j355` = branch, `j355-base` = origin/dev; both removed with my targets afterwards). DPR 2, phones are touch contexts. I reused J344's scratch harness plus a new side-by-side part (`dev-02:~/.cache/codex-scratch/j355/j355-review.spec.ts`, not for merge). Evidence: `~/.cache/codex-scratch/j355/ev-a2-shots/j355/{shots.jsonl,focus.jsonl,others.jsonl,shots/,full/}`, `ev-b-perf-branch`, `ev-c-perf-base`; sheets in `ev-a2-shots/sheets/`. 86 capture tests passed (`a2-shots.log`), 16+8 perf cells. I did not run `verify` and did not re-run J300's own spec (J344 reproduced the previous version; I ran my own pixel checks instead). ## Findings **P2. Sidebar-started card on a phone still leaks a sliver at its rim; the spec's 14 px band is too wide to see it.** My ring metric (3–8 px just inside the edge, high-pass correlation with the page behind) gives sidebar phone Frosted **0.71 ink, 0.41 paper** with the bed (0.91/0.76 without), against 0.00 on sidebar desktop and 0.01–0.14 on every palette-started case (J344 saw 0.24–0.29 on desktop in round 3, so the fix works there). Visually (`rim-zoom-sidebar-phone-ink.png`, top = with bed): one or two glyph fragments ("8", "-") sit on the card's left border and the page's own text straddles the bottom border. Nothing is readable as a word. Energy behind that ring is only 3.5–4.4 (the sidebar's blank rows), so part of the correlation is the card's own border/antialiasing on a near-empty ring, which is why I rate it P2 and not P1. J300 already reports 0.25 for this case; the spec threshold (rim < 0.3 over 14 px) passes it. Suggest: measure a thinner outer ring (3–8 px) too, or raise the sidebar floor, so the check can see it; consider whether the anchored phone card needs a bed reach above 3σ. I did not test that. **P2. Spec honesty: mostly honest, two holes.** (a) The ring above. (b) Sidebar-started phone Tinted does not catch a missing bed (J300 says so: 0.143 / 0.047 vs 0.15 limit). The palette cases (24) do catch it (small-phone Tinted 0.42 without bed), and the colour check makes an opaque card fail, so palette coverage is enough for the centred card. The anchored card is covered only at Tinted/Frosted, and on phones only weakly, so the anchored phone card is the least protected path. J300's 37/37, 28/37 (no bed) and 30/37 (opaque) are plausible; I reproduced the bed-off/on difference with my own metric (ring 0.43–0.94 without bed, 0.01–0.14 with). **P3. The confirmation shows slightly less colour than the machine popover.** Same blur per level and one saturate (`blur(8px)/blur(24px)/blur(32px) saturate(1.6)` on machine popover and confirmation alike; the palette is its larger-size level, 30.8 px at Tinted). But the bed's blur stacks under the card's own, so low-frequency colour correlation is a bit lower: Tinted desktop ink 0.68 vs 0.91 machine, Clear 0.54 vs 0.72, Frosted 0.49 vs 0.69. Over coloured content the three read as one family (`sbs-*.png`); over a plain white-on-black listing the confirmation looks nearly opaque at all levels (`text-phone-ink.png`). Stated for the owner, not a defect. **P3. Tab leaves the card** (Keep → Remove → page), unchanged from earlier rounds. ## Checks 1. **Captures:** 3 sizes × ink/paper × Tinted/Clear/Frosted (text sheets), plus colourful side-by-side of machine popover / palette / confirmation at each level (6 sheets). I read the text sheets for phone ink, desktop paper and the colour sheets for phone ink and desktop paper: no readable character inside any card, buttons side by side, full host name in the title. Rim at 2×: clean on palette-started cards; see P2 for the sidebar phone. 2. **Spec:** see the second P2. 3. **Performance** (headless Chromium, software compositing: only relative numbers mean anything; 8 reps/cell, bed on/off interleaved; `ev-b-perf-branch/j355/perf.jsonl`, `ev-c-perf-base/j355/perf.jsonl`). 1× CPU: p95 16.7–16.8 ms and 0 frames over 20 ms in every cell on branch (bed and no bed) and on origin/dev. 4× CPU: branch with bed 1–2 frames over 20 ms per cell (none over 33.4 ms; one single 33.3 ms in four of the cells), no bed 0, origin/dev 1 per cell (one over 33.4). Median RasterTask with the bed 2.1–2.4 ms against 1.6–2.0 on dev. No long tasks. Not a phone GPU; no real-device frame trace. 4. **Keyboard / ARIA / targets** (`focus.jsonl`): palette-started, Escape and Keep click return focus to the terminal; open focus lands on Keep; `role=dialog`, `aria-labelledby` = "Remove edge-arm?", `aria-describedby` = the effect line; sidebar-started card is anchored (`data-side=bottom`) and Escape returns to the host row. Phones: Keep 60×44, Remove 78×44, card 340 px; nothing summons the keyboard. Desktop card 374 px at root 17.6 px.

Head reviewed: `eee0ed2a9c4f1fafbf8a28287e5f75c877a03cbf`. **Verdict: APPROVE** (two P2 follow-ups for the sidebar phone rim and the spec's ring width).

J300: dev merged, conflict resolved. Head d955e29c77ac0837f8f3c00736cdd368ecb09188 on fix-removal-confirm (pushed, not merged). On top of eee0ed2a9 (J355 approved).

Conflict (only apps/tracer/src/canvas/host-removal.on-demand.ts, the import block): kept both sides. #409's outbox flow, ICON_INFO info-mark toast ("It uninstalls infraternal as soon as it connects"), the pending/removed messages and the Result doc are untouched; the file's diff against origin/dev is now only my confirmation call (confirmHostRemoval(name, anchor, onConfirm, returnFocus), plain "Remove", focus return). #409's "Left ... because infraternal didn't create it here" text is server-side (crates/infraternal/src/host_remove.rs, crates/plugins/remote/src/lib.rs); this branch changes no Rust.

One test change you should know about: pending-removal-command.spec.ts:44 (a #409 spec) clicked a button named exactly "Remove host", the old sentence-style label the owner rejected. The button is "Remove" now, so that locator became { name: "Remove", exact: true }; nothing else in that spec changed.

On dev-02, on this head (quick10.log, r5-*.log):

verify quick: PASS, verbatim below.
Pixel spec host-removal-confirm.spec.ts: 37 passed.
#409 toast spec pending-removal-command.spec.ts: 4 passed (includes the info-mark toast and "Copy command" fallback).
J335's two glass specs (add-host-prototype.spec.ts:240, mesh.spec.ts:1226): 2 passed.

QUICK pre-check passed. This is not the gate: run scripts/verify fast before reporting done.

verify fast not run by me this time, as you said you will. Earlier fast failures were three different Rust tests I could not reproduce (see my previous comment); this merge adds no Rust either.
