/* ==========================================================================
 * MONGAME — VENDOR & CEREMONY UI SYSTEM  ·  "LEDGER & SEAL"
 * ==========================================================================
 * Production system sheet. Loaded from index.html AFTER styles.css.
 * Direction D3 "Ledger & Seal" (approved 2026-07-26) with the D2 ceremony
 * lighting grafted into the arena seal reception and the evolution build-up.
 *
 * ONE IDEA — every vendor, service and ceremony in the Vale is a leaf out of
 * one bound register: bone paper, ruled lines, an ink binding carrying a
 * single coloured thread, oxblood stamps for restriction, a lit reliquary for
 * ceremony. The navy glass shell is replaced by a *document*, never by
 * another gradient.
 *
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * SELECTOR CONTRACT — read this before editing a single line
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 *   SCRIM  = #modal:not(.clean-world-modal):not(.battle-switch-modal)
 *                  :not(:has(.evolution-result))                     (1,3,0)
 *   S      = #modal:not(.clean-world-modal):not(.battle-switch-modal)(1,2,0)
 *   LEAF   = S > :is(.modal-card,.shop-card):not(.evolution-result)  (1,4,0)
 *   FAMILY = LEAF compounded with its own class, e.g. ….casino-card  (1,5,0)
 *
 *   • A family rule MUST use the FAMILY form or the shared LEAF rule wins.
 *   • Descendant rules (rows, chips, tiles) hang off S, not off LEAF, so they
 *     keep working when a vendor card is nested one level deeper.
 *   • This sheet never writes a bare `button {}` rule, never restyles the
 *     global `button` element, and never touches the shared
 *     `.modal-card, .shop-card` BASE declaration in styles.css:4902.
 *     Everything here is additive and opt-in, keyed off classes the game
 *     already emits (`.dealer-shop-card`, `.casino-card`, `.tutor-card`,
 *     `.seal-award`, …). No JavaScript change is required or permitted.
 *
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * PROTECTION GUARDS — why each one exists
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * The PROTECTED surface is the final evolved-monster result. At runtime it is
 *   <div id="modal" class="modal evolution-map-modal">
 *     <div class="modal-card evolution-result …">
 * (verified live via the render harness, not assumed). It must not change.
 *
 *  GUARD 1 — `:not(.evolution-result)` on EVERY card rule.
 *      The protected card is a `.modal-card`; without this it would inherit
 *      the whole leaf shell. Grep check: every `.modal-card` / `.shop-card`
 *      occurrence below is followed by `:not(.evolution-result)`.
 *
 *  GUARD 2 — `:not(:has(.evolution-result))` on the SCRIM.
 *      THIS IS THE ONE PHASE ONE MISSED. `.modal-card` is translucent and
 *      carries `backdrop-filter: blur(16px)`, so the protected card SAMPLES
 *      whatever is painted behind it. Restyling the `#modal` scrim therefore
 *      moves protected pixels even though no card selector matches — that is
 *      exactly how all three Phase-One direction overlays leaked. Excluding
 *      `.evolution-map-modal` outright (what D3 did) is NOT enough and is
 *      also too blunt: the *build-up* lives in the same modal class and needs
 *      the black stage. `:has()` keys off the protected card itself, so the
 *      scrim is painted for the prompt and the build-up and reverts to the
 *      shipped transparent scrim the instant the result card mounts.
 *      Degradation: in a browser without `:has()` the whole selector is
 *      invalid and dropped — the shipped scrim is used everywhere, which is
 *      still safe for the protected surface.
 *
 *  GUARD 3 — no geometry on `.evolution-scene`.
 *      `--map-modal-height` is measured from that box by game.js and
 *      `.evolution-result img` sizes off it. Changing its width/height/
 *      border-width/padding resamples the PROTECTED sprite (measured at
 *      maxDelta 26 in Phase One). This sheet only ever paints it.
 *
 *  GUARD 4 — no shipped animation name, duration or delay is repurposed on
 *      any element the JS timing chains observe. New ceremony motion uses new
 *      `mgv-*` keyframes on purely decorative layers (the lamp cone, the
 *      plinth, the pip). The 4400 ms evolution chain, the 620 ms seal stamp
 *      and the 1250 ms casino redeal are untouched.
 *
 *  GUARD 5 — `.clean-world-modal` and `.battle-switch-modal` are excluded
 *      everywhere. The clean world menus already ARE the white/black identity
 *      this system extends; the battle switch prompt is a combat surface and
 *      out of scope.
 *
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * TOKENS
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Every custom property added here is namespaced `--mg-v-`. NO existing token
 * is redefined — `--panel`, `--panel-2`, `--glass-bg`, `--radius`, `--ink`,
 * `--muted`, `--font`, `--focus`, `--gold` all keep their shipped values so
 * nothing outside this system moves.
 *
 * Radius: the approved shared system is 8 px (the `.side-panel` identity at
 * styles.css:30048). `--mg-v-radius` is that 8 px and is used for every
 * card/panel/tile; `--mg-v-radius-sm` (4 px) and `--mg-v-radius-xs` (2 px)
 * step down for plates and chips so the document feel survives the rounding.
 *
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * CONTRAST — measured, not eyeballed (sRGB, WCAG 2.1 relative luminance)
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * The shipped bug: `.shop-row` paints
 *   linear-gradient(180deg, rgba(255,255,255,0.04), transparent) OVER --panel-2
 * so `--muted #8a97ab` lands at 4.21:1 at the TOP of every row and drifts to a
 * different ratio at the bottom — it fails AA *and* the failure is positional.
 * Here the row is flat paper: one background-color, no vertical gradient, so
 * the ratio is constant everywhere inside a row. Measured ratios are quoted
 * inline at each rule. Nothing normal-sized ships below 4.5:1.

 * 2 · THE LEAF — the shared shell every vendor card inherits
 *
 * Binding and certificate rule are drawn with INSET box-shadows, never with a
 * border or a pseudo-element, for two reasons:
 *   1. inset shadows paint against the FIXED border box, so the frame stays
 *      pinned while a 12-row Dealer scrolls inside it (a ::before frame
 *      scrolls away with the content);
 *   2. a border-left spine in near-black disappears whenever the card happens
 *      to sit over a dark stretch of world map. Painting the binding ON THE
 *      PAPER makes it read against any backdrop.
 *
 * Left edge, outside → in: 1px rule │ 5px ink binding │ 3px accent thread
 *                          │ 2px paper │ 1px certificate rule │ 22px padding

     The binding is an inset shadow with a horizontal offset, which paints a

     left a visible notch, verified at 8× on grade-01/casino-table (the thread
     is the system oxblood rgb(126,33,27), not the signal red it was reported
     as — but the geometry really was misregistered).
     Moving the binding into a background layer clips it to the radius
     correctly, but the certificate ring — an inset shadow — then paints OVER
     it, because box-shadows sit above backgrounds. Rather than dismantle the
     frame, square the two corners the binding runs between: a bound leaf HAS
     a flat spine, so the thread now runs edge to edge with nothing to step
     off, and the outer corners keep the system's 8 px. */

/* ==========================================================================
 * 12 · EVOLUTION BUILD-UP — the full-bleed black stage
 *
 *   THE SECOND D2 GRAFT. The shipped scene is lit by a BLUE mid-tone
 *   (rgba(82,120,180,.32)) with mint-green orbiters. Here the only light in
 *   the room is the transformation itself, and it is warm.
 *
 *   The stage is made full-bleed by darkening the MODAL, not by resizing the
 *   scene (GUARD 3: `.evolution-scene` geometry feeds `--map-modal-height`,
 *   which the PROTECTED result image sizes off). The modal rule carries
 *   GUARD 2, so the instant the protected result card mounts the stage
 *   disappears and the shipped transparent scrim is back.
 *
 *   ⚠ `.evolution-result` is not matched by ANY selector in this block.
 *   ⚠ No duration, delay or shipped keyframe name is touched — the 4400 ms JS
 *     chain and the 2.4 s stone offset stay exactly in sync.
 * ========================================================================== */
/* PHASE TWO — THE ROOM STOPS GOING BLACK.
   The stage is still full-bleed black: `.evolution-scene` fills the map rect
   edge to edge and is the darkest thing on screen. What changed is the ROOM.
   Painting `#modal` solid `#050404` blacked out the white shell and the right
   world menu, so the last frame of the build-up and the first frame of the
   PROTECTED result — which are two consecutive frames of one animation —
   disagreed about the backdrop, the shell and the menu all at once. The
   protected result keeps the shipped transparent scrim, the blurred living
   world and the intact shell; measured against it, the blackout was the
   single largest continuity break in the sequence, and it also stranded
   ~445 px of dead black to the right of the map rect on a 1366 px viewport.
   A light warm dim focuses the eye on the ceremony while leaving the room
   plainly the same room the player is about to be handed back. */

/* PHASE TWO — a reserved right gutter for the fixed close affordance, and

   `position: fixed` at the viewport's top-right, so on a full-bleed card
   every scrolled row passes underneath it: measured, it erased the closing
   bracket of `BUY ×99 (5'940)` in dealer-qty-99--mobile--en and the final
   letters of LADEN / LOAD in save-manager--mobile — and a tap on the drawn
   half of LADEN closed the panel instead of loading a save, which on a
   save/load surface is a silent destructive mis-tap.

   Padding the card's inline end by the chip's footprint (40 px + 8 px inset
   + air) makes the collision structurally impossible rather than merely
   unlikely. Trader Pell emits no chip, so `:has()` keeps it from paying for
   a gutter it does not use — it is given an always-visible sticky footer

     PHASE TWO REWRITE. The previous block reduced motion by DELETION: rings,
     tick arc and orbiters were given `opacity: 0`, and `.evo-before` /
     `.evo-after` were left to the shipped timeline, which under an emulated
     `prefers-reduced-motion` capture strands the sprite on the bleach frame
     (evo-before 50 % = `brightness(5) saturate(0)`). The result — verified
     against grade-01-rm/evolution-buildup--desktop--en.png — was a colourless
     cut-out in a blown-out gold wash on the game's marquee screen: it reads
     as a failed asset load, not as an accessible presentation.

     Nothing here needs to MOVE in order to EXIST. So every layer is now

     reduced motion loses the travel and keeps the composition. This is the
     discipline the arena seal already used (it keeps the seal, the triangle,
     the gold rule and the pip row and drops only the sweeping gleam).

     GUARD 4 holds: no shipped keyframe name, duration or delay is changed,

  /* THE MONSTER RESOLVES. Reduced motion must land on the END of the reveal,
     never on frame 0 of it — the build-up's whole job is to make the player
     look at the creature, so arriving desaturated is worse than arriving
     instantly. Both sprites are therefore pinned at their RESTING presentation:
     no scale, no rotation, no bleach ramp, nothing that moves.

     PHASE THREE. Retiring `.evo-before` outright (the previous revision) was
     right for a single settled screenshot and wrong for the six-second scene it
     actually plays in: measured, `.evo-before` sat at opacity 0 and `.evo-after`
     at 1 for the WHOLE run, so a reduced-motion player was shown the finished
     creature from frame 0 while the caption still read the old name for 4.03s
     and promised energy that was surging into something already standing there.
     The reveal — the one thing the scene exists for — was spoiled before it
     began, and no evolution ever appeared to happen.

     So: a HARD CUT, not a dissolve and not a deletion. The old form holds,
     motionless and full-colour, until 61.1% of the 6.6s timeline (4033ms) — the
     same instant the JS swaps the name and the caption — and the new form holds
     from there. steps(1, end) means the two keyframes below never interpolate:
     opacity flips between frames and nothing on stage ever travels, which is
     what the media query asks for. A cut is the standard reduced-motion
     substitute for a transition; it is also the only one that costs no motion.

     `animation-NAME` and friends as longhands, NEVER the `animation` shorthand:

 * 18.1 · THE UNFINISHED TOKEN MIGRATION  (blocking · 4 graders)
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * The single largest defect in the build, and it is one bug, not fifteen.
 * The panels were flipped from the shipped dark navy to cream — but the
 * DARK-THEME FOREGROUND TOKENS came along for the ride. `--ink #eaf0f7`,
 * `--ink-soft #b9c4d4` and `--muted #8a97ab` are all light, blue-biased
 * values authored to sit on navy; on the new cream they render as follows
 * (sampled from grade-01, not estimated):
 *
 *   save-manager `.ss-chip` meta   rgb(185,196,212) on rgb(253,251,244) 1.70:1
 *   save-manager `.save-empty`     rgb(138,151,171) on rgb(253,251,244) 2.83:1
 *   starter `.starter-flavor`      rgb(185,196,212) on rgb(253,251,244) 1.70:1
 *
 * That is a quarter of the AA floor, on the first screen a new player sees
 * and on the panel that decides whether a run is saved or overwritten. It is
 * also why the palette reads cool-and-accidental next to warm parchment.
 *
 * Chasing the consumers class by class is how the gap survived Phase One.
 * Instead the three tokens are REMAPPED for the duration of a paper card, so
 * every present and future consumer inside the family lands on the warm ramp
 * automatically. This does not redefine them globally — `:root` is untouched
 * and every surface outside the vendor system keeps its shipped values.
 *
 * `.casino-card` is deliberately NOT remapped: it is the one family that
 * inverts, its ground is felt, and it already sets its own felt tokens.

 * 18.4 · THE IN-CANVAS FOOTER CLUSTER  (blocking · cross-family grader)
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Present in EVERY world screenshot, including the ones where a converted
 * Dealer floats above it: the `< / Debug / >` cluster is still pre-redesign
 * navy — sampled rgb(30,39,58) and rgb(37,47,71) — with a cyan hairline
 * (rgba(127,231,255,0.34)) and an inner glow, sitting ~40 px from the
 * redesigned toast, which is warm near-black with a gold rail. Two blacks of
 * opposite temperature in one strip, and the cyan edge is precisely the
 * glassmorphism vocabulary the brief rules out. Retoned to the toast's own
 * material; the OPEN state keeps a clearly readable inversion.
 *
 * ⚠ GUARD 2, EXTENDED. Both this cluster and the side panel below it sit
 * BEHIND the protected evolution result, and that card is translucent with
 * `backdrop-filter: blur(16px)` — so it samples them. Measured: retoning them
 * unconditionally moved the protected card's own pixels to maxDelta 22 over
 * 6757 px, with the delta concentrated at the card rows that overlap the
 * cluster. No selector matched the card; the shift came entirely through the
 * BACKDROP, which is the same mechanism that leaked in Phase One.
 *
 * So the retone is gated on the protected card not being mounted. While the
 * result is on screen the shipped navy is restored — behind an opaque card
 * under a 16 px blur nobody can see it, and the protected surface is
 * bit-for-bit unaffected. The guard is written on `html` because the cluster
 * is not a sibling of `#modal`.

 * 18.5 · SHELL TEMPERATURE  (minor · cross-family grader)
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * The persistent side panel samples rgb(247,249,252) — a cool blue-white —
 * while every converted panel samples rgb(252,250,243), a warm parchment.
 * Floating one over the other, the two grounds visibly disagree at the edge.
 * A half-step warm is enough: the shell is not being redesigned, it is being
 * brought onto the same paper temperature so the system has ONE base white.
 *
 * Carries the same extended GUARD 2 as the footer cluster: the side panel is
 * within blur reach of the protected card's right edge, so it reverts to the
 * shipped neutral while the evolution result is mounted.
 *
 * WITHDRAWN BY THE LEAD — the shell is NOT retinted. Reasoning, kept so this is
 * not re-attempted:
 *
 *   1. The rule as written (`background: rgba(252,250,244,0.93)`) is a
 *      SHORTHAND, so it reset `background-image` to `none` and DESTROYED the
 *      shipped `--clean-world-menu-bg-image` ornament plate that
 *      `styles.css:30051` layers beneath this panel. The clean white world
 *      menus are an explicit reference surface, not collateral damage, so
 *      silently flattening their art is not an acceptable cost for a half-step
 *      of warmth.
 *   2. Restoring the plate as a layered wash DID work visually but broke the
 *      protected gate: measured against two same-session sheet-disabled
 *      controls (noise floor max 3 / 0 px over 8), the layered version scored
 *      max 11 / 219-233 px over 8, while the build without any side-panel
 *      override scored max 6 / 0 px. Re-introducing a 1536x1024 plate behind a
 *      `backdrop-filter: blur(16px)` card perturbs the sampled backdrop.
 *
 * Both routes cost more than the benefit. The shell therefore keeps its shipped
 * appearance exactly, which is also what the brief asked for. Panel warmth is
 * carried by the vendor surfaces themselves, not by retinting the world menu.

 * Where an EARLIER rule is longer, this section matches its shape rather than
 * reaching for `!important` — the two places `!important` does appear are
 * called out at the rule and exist only because the shipped sheet used it.
 *
 * The four protection guards still hold. `.evolution-result` appears in this
 * section only inside `:not(…)` / `:has(…)` exclusions (section 17 greps for
 * it), no shipped keyframe name or timing is touched, `.evolution-scene`
 * geometry is still paint-only, and every rule that repaints something BEHIND

 * 75 px at rest (background pixel art) against 973 on hover and 1577 on focus.
 *
 * The button box is neutralised in every state, and the hover affordance is

/* --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * 20.1 · THE MASTHEAD FINALLY OWNS ITS CLIP BAND  (blocking · 5 of 6 graders)
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Reproduced on grade-03/dealer-qty-99--desktop--en.png: the line "Endgame
 * capture charm for Abyss wardens and ultra-rare monsters", a charm plate and a
 * fragment of an oxblood clause chip all render in the band ABOVE the `Dealer`
 * masthead, and the row directly beneath it is sheared through the middle of
 * `BUY ×99 (3'465)`. Same on states-03/shop--focus--mobile--en.png.
 *
 * THE CAUSE, measured rather than guessed. Chrome insets the sticky constraint
 * rectangle by the scroll container's own padding (this is what section 19.9's
 * `top: calc(11px - pad)` was compensating for), so the masthead pins at the
 * card's border box + 11 px — leaving an 11 px strip of live scroll track above
 * it. Every grader's measurement agrees: "≈8.5 CSS px", "~9 CSS px", "~15 px",
 * "~20 px band" (the last two at devicePixelRatio 2).
 *
 * A scroll container ALWAYS scrolls its content through its own top padding.
 * The only correct fix is therefore to make the pinned header an opaque plate
 * that reaches the padding box's own top edge — so the geometry is restated so
 * that the header's LAYOUT position and its STUCK position are both exactly
 * that edge, which also means it cannot jump on the first scroll pixel:
 *
 *     content top   = border + pad
 *     margin-top    = −pad            → layout  top = border
 *     sticky top    = −pad            → stuck   top = border   (identical)
 *     padding-top   = +pad            → the title stays where it always was
 *
 * The horizontal bleed is deliberately NOT widened: the ink binding and the
 * accent thread (section 2) live at x 1–9 and the certificate rule at x 10, so
 * the plate stops 12 px in and the bound edge keeps running past the masthead.
 * The one thing the plate does cover is the certificate rule's TOP segment, so
 * the header redraws it as its own third background layer, 9 px down from its
 * padding box — which lands on the same pixel row on both viewports (desktop
 * ring 10 px with a 1 px border, touch ring 9 px with none).
 *
 * Finally the plate casts a short shadow, so a row passing behind it reads as
 * passing behind something rather than as being severed by nothing.

 * 20.2 · THE ACTION BAR IS A FOOTER ON EVERY VIEWPORT  (major · 2 graders)
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * CONFIRMED on grade-03: `shop`, `dealer-all-unlocked`, `memory-market`,
 * `abyss-supply`, `tutor-0-seals` and `tutor-4-seals` present NO dismiss
 * affordance anywhere in the desktop viewport — the footer is the last element
 * in the scroll content, so it is only visible in the two shots the harness
 * deliberately scrolls to the bottom. Meanwhile every mobile sheet has a
 * pinned one. A modal whose exit depends on scroll position, viewport and
 * family is three inconsistencies in one component.
 *
 * Section 18.18 already pinned it in landscape and proved the mechanism; it is
 * simply promoted out of the media query. The bar takes the family plate, so
 * the sheet now reads head-plate / ledger / foot-plate on every surface, and
 * the fade above it replaces the guillotine three graders measured at the
 * bottom of every mobile list (`KAUFE ×1 (200)` sliced through the caption,
 * `6/1…`, `No named saves yet…`).
 *
 * The inline-end padding is driven by `--mg-v-pad-end`, not `--mg-v-pad`: with
 * the close gutter reserved (section 15) the rows stopped 46 CSS px short of a
 * footer that ran to the sheet edge, which is the "two competing right
 * margins" a fifth grader measured on shop--mobile--en.

 * anything: the two side-by-side action shelves in row 1 land at different
 * heights, and the gutter below the left column is 12 px while the gutter below
 * the right column is 47 px. A hard-bordered box with a coloured rail reads as
 * a physical object; two of them side by side disagreeing by half their height
 * reads as a broken grid, not as rhythm.
 *
 * 19.12's objection is answered by this build's own starter scene, which
 * stretches three cards of unequal copy to one height with the CTA pinned to
 * the bottom and reads as the most finished surface in the set. The tile
 * ALREADY terminates in a tinted shelf behind a hairline, so the slack lands
 * above a closing band — an empty effect slot, which is exactly what it is —
 * rather than in an open-ended box.
 *
 * One line, because the tile's own `grid-template-rows: minmax(0,1fr) auto`
 * (section 9) already pins the shelf to the bottom the moment the tile is
 * allowed to fill its row.

 * 21.2 · THE STARTER TRIO REGISTERS AGAIN  (blocking · 3 graders)
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * CONFIRMED and root-caused on grade-04/starter-scene--mobile--de.png by row
 * scan: Emberex's name band is y 360–383 while Bubdrake's and Sprigfang's are
 * y 388–413, and the type chips follow at 420 vs 450 — a 28 device px (14 CSS
 * px) stagger in the one composition whose whole job is cross-card comparison.
 * The card boxes and the three CHOOSE buttons DO align, so the card is half
 * registered and half not.
 *
 * The cause is NOT the missing art height two graders assumed — 20.19 already
 * sets `height: 72px` on the art slot. It is 19.20's
 * `.starter-card__art { flex: 1 1 auto }`: the grid stretches the three cards
 * to one height and the ART BLOCK was elected to absorb each card's leftover
 * slack, so a card with six lines of copy grows its art by less than a card
 * with five. Measured: shadow-ellipse bottoms at y 332 / 360 / 360, i.e. art
 * boxes of 93 / 107 / 107 CSS px against a declared 72.
 *
 * The slack moves off the artwork and onto the gap ABOVE the terminal action —
 * the same `margin-top: auto` this sheet uses on every other pinned shelf — so
 * the art slot is finally the fixed slot it was declared to be, every name,
 * chip and description line shares a baseline, and the CTA row keeps the
 * common baseline it already had.
 *
 * 19.20's warning ("the copy block absorbed it and the clamp exposed a sheared
 * sixth line") cannot recur: the slack is no longer inside a clamped box.

 *
 * The graders' literal prescription — `mask-image` on the scroll container —
 * CANNOT be used here and was rejected on inspection: the scroll container IS
 * the card, and the pinned masthead is inside it, so a mask in the card's own
 * coordinate space would fade the masthead itself. The correct mirror of the
 * footer's dissolve is a masked plate hanging off the BOTTOM of the pinned
 * header, which travels with the header and cannot touch it.
 *
 * `--mg-v-scrim` drives BOTH the strip's height and the header's bottom margin,
 * so at rest the dissolve sits over the header's own empty margin and can never
 * wash live copy — the failure mode a naive fixed height would have shipped.

 * 21.5 · THE MOBILE DISMISSAL CHIP STOPS TOUCHING LIVE CONTROLS
 *        (blocking x2 · major x3 — five of seven graders)
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Re-measured on grade-04/save-manager--mobile--de.png at device row y=70: the
 * LADEN pill's right border occupies x 1566–1567 and the chip's edge begins at
 * x 1568 — a 0.5 CSS px separation between two live hit targets on a touch
 * surface, with the chip's 16 px blurred shadow staining the pill's face from
 * #E8E3D5 down to #C9C4B7. Identical geometry in EN against LOAD, so it is
 * structural, not a German string-length effect.
 *
 * ROOT CAUSE, arithmetic rather than opinion: the chip is 46 px wide at
 * `right: 14px`, so its left edge sits at cardWidth - 60. Section 15 reserves
 * cardWidth - 56 for content. The gutter was four pixels SHORT of the chip, not
 * merely tight. Reserving 74 px puts the content edge 14 px clear of the chip
 * on every panel that emits one — the >=12 px gutter four graders independently
 * asked for — and makes the collision impossible by construction.
 *
 * The blurred drop shadow (the only soft shadow left on a light surface in the
 * build, and the thing the brand grader called "the one component from a
 * different kit") becomes the system's own hard offset shadow, thrown AWAY from
 * the panel's controls. The glyph is optically centred; it measured ~5 device
 * px low because the multiplication sign sits above its own em-box centre.
 *
 * NOT FIXED, needs a markup hook: three graders asked for the chip to become a
 * flex sibling inside the header row. `.world-modal-close` is `position: fixed`
 * to the viewport and is emitted outside the header element, so no stylesheet
 * can re-parent it. The gutter reservation removes the overlap, the shadow
 * bleed and the mis-tap hazard; a shared centre line is not reachable from CSS.

 *   2. the pinned action bar is compacted (~16 CSS px back)
 * plus the helper line under QUANTITY, which is a desktop nicety on a 390 px
 * screen, and a shorter stepper.
 *
 * PARTIAL, stated honestly: this returns roughly one more row, not the four the
 * grader asked for. The remaining win — the item list as an independently
 * scrolling second column — needs a wrapper element around the rows that
 * `showShop()` does not emit; with the rows as bare siblings of the header,

 *     y 104–109   237.6 → 239.4           — the entire fade, 6 device px
 *     y 110–113   102 → 60                — the tile's top border arriving
 *     y 114+      (54,49,41)              — full body ink, ~12:1, unattenuated
 * So the top dissolve is ~3 CSS px long against the bottom's ~22, which is the
 * "razor edge" three graders independently named.
 *
 * The cause is arithmetic. 21.3's mask held `#000 0 9px` — an ABSOLUTE stop —
 * inside a strip whose height is `--mg-v-scrim`. At the desktop 22 px that
 * leaves a 13 px ramp; at the landscape 14 px it leaves FIVE. Every stop is
 * therefore proportional now, so the ramp scales with the strip on every
 * viewport instead of being eaten by a fixed opaque head.
 *
 * The graders' literal prescription (`mask-image` on the scroll container) is
 * still rejected on the same evidence 21.3 gave: the scroll container IS the
 * card, and the masthead and the action bar are position:sticky INSIDE it, so
 * a mask in the card's coordinate space fades the masthead and the footer —
 * the two things that must stay solid. The masked plate hanging off the pinned
 * header is the correct mirror of the footer's dissolve; it was simply too
 * short. `--mg-v-scrim` drives BOTH the plate's height and the header's own
 * bottom margin, so at rest the dissolve still sits over the header's empty
 * margin and can never wash live copy.

 * 22.2 · A DISSOLVE MAY NEVER LAND ON A RESTING LINE  (major · 1 grader)
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * REJECTED as measured, and fixed as diagnosed. The claim was that on
 * grade-05/save-manager--mobile--en the sentence "No named saves yet – name one
 * above to create your first." measures 1.98:1 with its upper half at 1.01:1.
 * Row-profiled at x 50–900: the darkest ink on every row of that sentence,
 * y 609–629, is exactly (95,88,75) — `--mg-v-mute` at its shipped value, i.e.
 * ZERO attenuation — on a plate of (236,231,216). That is 5.69:1, a clean AA
 * pass, and there is no AA failure anywhere in the build.
 *
 * What IS true is the second half of the claim: the fade starts at y 630 and
 * takes the sentence's DESCENDERS ("y", "y", "g") from 5.69:1 to 3.37:1, on a
 * panel that is not scrolled and has nothing below to scroll to. A decorative
 * dissolve eating real glyphs is a defect at any ratio.
 *
 * ROOT CAUSE and the invariant that removes the whole class of it: the dissolve
 * is `bottom: 100%` of the pinned action bar, so it reaches exactly its own
 * height above the bar's border. The bar's `margin-top` was 14 px desktop /
 * 8 px landscape against a 44 px / 24 px dissolve — so 30 px and 16 px of it
 * lay over live content at rest by construction. Making the dissolve exactly
 * as tall as the bar's own top margin means at rest it can only ever sit on the
 * bar's empty margin, while a row scrolling under the bar still dissolves over
 * its full height. The ramp is re-weighted to reach full plate by 66 %, so
 * severed ink is under 2.5:1 within 18 px exactly as 21.4 required.
 *
 * The clearance is deliberately larger than the dissolve rather than equal to
 * it: re-rendered at H = M = 18 the descenders of that same save-manager line
 * were still catching the first ~6 CSS px of the ramp, because a text box's
 * ink does not stop at its content edge (line-box leading, and `.save-empty`
 * carries a `min-height`). An 8 px safety band is cheap and removes the class
 * of defect instead of the instance.
 *
 * >>> 24.0, STATED HONESTLY. The `margin-top: 30px` this note describes NEVER
 * >>> SHIPPED. The comment above was closed with a terminator and then continued
 * >>> for six more `*` lines OUTSIDE any comment, so the CSS parser consumed
 * >>> them as the prelude of the next rule, the selector became invalid, and the
 * >>> whole declaration block was dropped. Verified live on the running page:
 * >>> the desktop action bar computes `margin-top: 14px` (18.10's value) and the
 * >>> landscape bar `24px` (21.20's), NOT 30. grade-05, grade-06 and grade-07
 * >>> were therefore all graded on a build without it.
 * >>>
 * >>> The delimiter is repaired here so the sheet parses as written. The rule
 * >>> itself is NOT resurrected: this is a deliberately narrow pass, raising the
 * >>> desktop bar's top margin 14 → 30 px moves the footer on ~20 surfaces, and
 * >>> the residual defect it would fix is small (with a 22 px dissolve over a
 * >>> 14 px margin, 8 px of ramp lies over resting copy at alpha ≤ 0.28, which
 * >>> costs body ink ~11:1 → ~7:1 — still comfortably AA). It is handed to the

 * 22.3 · THE TUTOR'S EMPTY FIELD IS A FIELD, NOT A HOLE

 * --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * PARTLY REJECTED: "tile tops align but action buttons sit up to 74 px apart".
 * Not in these pixels. Column scans of grade-05/tutor-4-seals--desktop--en at
 * x 340 and x 700 return identical transition rows (388/389, 401/402, 553/554,
 * 566/567, 674/675, 687/688): within every grid row the tiles are the same
 * height and their BUY bars share a baseline to the pixel. 21.1's `align-items:
 * stretch` plus the tile's own `minmax(0,1fr) auto` already pins the shelf.
 *
 * CONFIRMED, and it is the real defect four graders described from four
 * directions: `moveTag()` emits `<em class="move-ability">` ONLY when the move
 * has an effect line, so a tile without one renders title, meta, then 55–107 px
 * of unruled blank paper, then the footer strip — beside a row-mate that fills
 * exactly that band with a hairline and a sentence. An empty content slot next
 * to an identically framed filled one is the signature of a failed data load.
 *
 * The stretch is kept (un-stretching trades a fixable void for ragged bottoms,
 * which every grader agreed is worse). Instead the effect REGION is made
 * unconditional: when the `<em>` is absent, `:has()` draws the same hairline and
 * the same bounded field, struck through with the ledger's nil rule. The slack
 * is absorbed by that field in both cases — `flex: 1` on the `<em>` when it
 * exists, on the pseudo-field when it does not — so a tile is title / meta /
 * ruled field / shelf on every tile in the shelf, and no unruled gap can occur
 * anywhere. No string is added: the mark is a rule, never a word (section 3).

 * 22.4 · THE SPECIMEN TRAY EARNS ITS KEEP  (major · brand grader's only ask)
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * REJECTED, with evidence, on the numbers this pass was handed: "locked Azure
 * darkest 2.63:1, Surge 2.52:1". Those are grade-04 values and 21.9 already
 * fixed them. Re-measured on grade-05/shop--desktop--en at the plate rects:
 *     locked Azure  darkest (71,113,155)  4.27:1
 *     locked Surge  darkest (153,105,61)  3.94:1
 *     locked Giga   darkest (66,51,114)   8.99:1
 * every locked silhouette is already over the 3:1 floor.
 *
 * CONFIRMED and unfixed, which is the defect that actually remains: the tray is
 * LIGHTER than the art it frames, so it is the PALE end that dissolves. Sampled
 * on the same file, the brightest pixel inside each plate against its own tray:
 *     Azure 1.023  Surge 1.064  Giga 1.116  Capture 1.116  Potion 1.217
 * — Revive's wing tips and Giga's speculars are literally invisible, and not one
 * of the six mean bodies reaches 3:1. The redesign chose to put a slot around
 * every sprite; a slot paler than its contents subtracts legibility from the
 * best-crafted assets in the build.
 *
 * The brand grader's own prescription is taken because the arithmetic agrees
 * with it. A MID-tone tray is the worst of both worlds — the Capture Charm's
 * darkest facet is (37,140,136), L 0.209, so any tray near L 0.18 lands it at
 * 1.14:1. The tray must therefore be clearly below the DARKEST content, which
 * puts it at L* ~22 (Y ≈ 0.036): Capture's darkest facet then holds 2.95:1, the
 * pale wing tips go from 1.06:1 to 9.1:1, and mean bodies land near 4.7:1.
 *
 * Materially this is the apothecary's mount the ledger metaphor wanted anyway —
 * a warm graphite recess with a lit top lip and the paper's own light edge
 * under it — and it costs no palette: it is `--mg-v-ink` diluted, not a new hue.

 * 22.5 · MEMORY MARKET STOPS BORROWING THE DEALER'S STOCK  (major · 2 graders)
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * CONFIRMED by sampling the two masthead bands at the identical point (900,100)
 * of grade-05/memory-market--desktop--en and grade-05/shop--desktop--en:
 *     Memory Market  (246,241,226)  Lab 95.2 / −0.9 /  7.8
 *     Dealer         (250,243,224)  Lab 95.9 / −0.8 / 10.0
 *     dE76 = 2.31 — under the just-noticeable difference for ADJACENT patches,
 *     and these two are never adjacent.
 * 21.10 spent its budget on construction (column rule, inset wells, tighter
 * pitch, bronze double rule) and left the SUBSTRATE identical, so the panel
 * still reads as the same sheet.
 *
 * The stock itself changes: the Dealer is fresh warm ivory, the Memory Market
 * is older, cooler, slightly foxed grey-bone — one deliberate step inside the

 *
 * Verified in the DOM before it was written: `showEternityPainShop()` calls
 * `showShop({ stockId:"abyss", title:… })` (game.js:124461) — no class of its
 * own, no marker element, and the SAME filtered stock as the Abyss vendor. The
 * only stable CSS handle is therefore "a quantity vendor that is neither the
 * ordinary Dealer nor carrying the emergency row", which is what 21.10 already
 * keys off and what is reused here. Stated plainly: after the Abyss player has
 * taken the free kit, that vendor also loses its own hook and falls into this
 * dialect. Separating them properly needs one class name in game.js, which the

 * 22.6 · THE VERDIGRIS GROUP SPLITS, AND ITS RAIL BECOMES VISIBLE
 *        (major + minor · consistency grader)
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Two findings, one root: the family thread is doing two jobs badly.
 *
 * (a) "The 4 px sage left rail that marks an AVAILABLE tutor tile measures
 *     rgb(152,183,171) against the card face rgb(253,251,244) — 2.09:1." True:
 *     19.6 set it at `rgba(23,97,77,0.44)`. It is the available-state
 *     counterpart to the oxblood locked rail and it sits under the 3:1 floor
 *     for a non-text element that carries meaning. Recomputed, 0.70 alpha
 *     composites to (74,131,114) → 3.4:1, still quiet enough to stay
 *     subordinate to the gold vault rail.
 *
 * (b) "Appraiser, Trade and Tutor share a byte-identical #17614D." 21.7 moved
 *     the Save Manager out and 21.8 separated the Appraiser by material; the
 *     tutor and the trade still share the thread exactly. A fifth hue is out of
 *     bounds (approved direction: gold / oxblood / verdigris only), so the
 *     verdigris is split by VALUE instead: the tutor takes a deep pine, the
 *     trade keeps the shipped verdigris. dE76 ≈ 11 between them, inside one
 *     approved hue, and the tutor's own tiles, rails and head plate all move
 *     together because they are all driven by `--mg-v-accent`.
 *
 * DECLINED, with the direction as the reason: "retire gold as a family identity
 * and move the Dealer's spine to a brass-brown". The approved brief names the
 * Dealer's gold diamond and gold thread explicitly. Changing it to satisfy a
 * token-semantics argument would break the one decision the user actually
 * signed off. Recorded rather than silently ignored.

 * CONFIRMED on grade-05/appraiser--mobile--de: the callout keeps the desktop
 * side-by-side split, the German eyebrow wraps to two lines, and the body is
 * forced into a ~112 CSS px column that rags over four lines of three or four
 * words with an orphaned "neu." — 47 % taller than the English twin, on the
 * block that carries a once-per-run irreversible action. It is the one place in
 * the build where German is visibly worse-treated rather than merely longer.
 *
 * Both prescriptions are taken and they are the same fix: the copy column gets a
 * real minimum measure and the row is allowed to wrap, so the CTA drops to its
 * own full-width line the moment the text would fall under ~22ch instead of
 * strangling it. English keeps its single elegant row wherever it still fits.

 * 22.14 · THE MERCHANT FAMILY'S LANDSCAPE BUDGET, PROPERLY SPENT
 *        (major · lowest-scoring dimension)
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Measured on grade-05/shop--mobile--de (390 CSS px tall): header band 55,
 * intro + MENGE band 48, footer band 50 — 153 px of chrome — and a row pitch of
 * 61 CSS px, which is ICON-bound (46 px plate + 4 mat + 2 rule + 14 padding),
 * not text-bound (the two type lines need 38). Three and a half rows fit.
 *
 * 21.20 already merged the intro and the quantity well into one band and
 * compacted the action bar; what it did not do is re-tune the ROW, which is
 * where the budget actually goes. The plate steps to 36 px and the row padding
 * to 6, which makes the row text-bound at ~50 CSS px — a 21 % denser list, and
 * the plate is still larger on this 390 px screen than the 42 px it shipped at
 * on a 860 px desktop. The head and the quantity well give back another ~10 px
 * between them, which more than pays for 22.1's deeper scroll dissolves.
 *
 * Stated honestly, as 21.20 was: this is about one more full row, not four. The
 * remaining win is the item list as an independently scrolling second column,
 * and `showShop()` emits the rows as bare siblings of the header, intro, stepper
 * and footer — with no wrapper element, no grid placement can give the list its
 * own scrollport. Reported, not faked.

 * 23.1 · THE MASTHEAD RULES CLEAR THE TITLE'S DESCENDERS  (major · 4 graders)
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * CONFIRMED by row scan, not by eye. `grade-06/abyss-supply-post-kit--mobile--en`,
 * x 60–700, device px at DPR 2:
 *     y 44–61   title body, darkest ink (20,17,12)
 *     y 62–63   HAIRLINE (row median 0.902 → 0.439) with 13 glyph px still in it
 *     y 64–69   descender ink continues (11 → 29 px/row: the y/pp terminals)
 *     y 70–71   the head rule, landing ON the terminals
 *     y 78–81   the 2 px accent index
 * and `grade-06/appraiser--mobile--de` at the same crop: descender ink to y 69,
 * head rule at y 70–71 — ZERO clearance, the "graze" the parity grader named.
 * Desktop is clean because the same 5 px rule offset sits under a 14 px pad.
 *
 * ROOT CAUSE, and it is arithmetic rather than judgement: `padding-bottom` was
 * authored as a LITERAL at each breakpoint (14 desktop / 11 coarse / 7 landscape)
 * while the head rule is painted a fixed 5 px above the padding box and the
 * descender depth scales with the CLAMPED display size. At 19.2 px landscape the
 * literal 7 px leaves the rule 0.5 px below the descender terminal; at desktop's
 * 32.8 px the same 14 px leaves 6 px of air. So the reserve is expressed in `em`
 * once, and every breakpoint gets the desktop clearance ratio automatically:
 *     desktop   32.8px → 0.28em + 6 = 15.2px   (was 14 — the look is unchanged)
 *     coarse    30.4px → 0.28em + 6 = 14.5px   (was 11)
 *     landscape 19.2px → 0.28em + 6 = 11.4px   (was  7 → 4.9 px of clearance)
 * One declaration, four dimensions, and it cannot drift again when a clamp moves.
 *
 * The ceremonies keep their own tuned heads (`:not(.seal-award)`,
 * `:not(.starter-scene)`, `:not(.evolution-prompt)`) — none of them draws a rule
 * across a descender and all three were composed against their current metrics.
 * The second rule that actually did the striking — the Memory Market bronze
 * DOUBLE rule at `calc(100% - 9px)` — is retired by 23.2 with the skin it
 * belonged to, so no rule is left inside the descender band at all.

 * 23.2 · THE NAMED VENDOR IS ONE VENUE, NOT TWO SKINS  (major · 3 graders)
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * "Abyss Supply changes its brand identity mid-session … abyss-supply renders
 * header rgb(246,232,225)/accent rgb(109,26,21), abyss-supply-post-kit renders
 * Memory Market's rgb(245,244,236)/rgb(111,82,16)." CONFIRMED across all eight
 * renders. The cause is that 18.14/19.14 keyed the Abyss dialect off
 * `:has(.abyss-emergency-row)` — a ONE-OFF row that never renders again once the
 * player takes the free kit.
 *
 * THE DOM WAS RE-INVESTIGATED LIVE before this was written, not assumed. A probe
 * descriptor run through the shot harness dumped the capture-time DOM of all
 * three vendor surfaces:
 *   memory-market          modal ".modal"  card ".shop-card"
 *                          h2 "Memory Market"
 *                          children: BUTTON.world-modal-close | H2 | P |
 *                                    DIV.shop-row | 10 × DIV.shop-row.shop-row--item |
 *                                    DIV.dialogue-actions
 *   abyss-supply-post-kit  modal ".modal"  card ".shop-card"
 *                          h2 "Abyss Supply"
 *                          children: BYTE-IDENTICAL to the above
 * `showEternityPainShop()` is `showShop({stockId:"abyss", …})` and Abyss Supply
 * is `showShop({stockId:"abyss", emergencyKit:true})` — the SAME filtered stock,
 * the same row grid, no class, no id, no data attribute, and `document.body` /
 * `document.documentElement` carry no map or venue hook either (dumped: body
 * className and dataset are empty of anything venue-shaped). The only two
 * differences are the h2 STRING and the intro STRING, and CSS cannot select on
 * text. `.shop-row--locked` is present on post-kit and absent on Memory Market,
 * but that is the PLAYER'S PROGRESSION, not the venue — a post-champion visit to
 * Abyss Supply has none either — so keying on it would ship the same bug with a
 * longer fuse.
 *
 * STATED PLAINLY: no durable per-venue hook exists. What CSS can address is
 * exactly two merchant sheets — the ordinary Dealer, and "the named vendor with
 * the abyss stock list" — and Abyss Supply's free-kit row is a transient SUB-STATE
 * of the second, never a third identity. That is the actual root cause, so the
 * dialect moves off the kit row and onto the sheet: all eight Abyss renders and
 * both Memory Market states now resolve `--mg-v-band: #f6e8e1` (246,232,225) and
 * `--mg-v-accent: #6d1a15` (109,26,21) — the exact tokens the brand grader asked
 * post-kit to render. One venue can no longer render two identities.
 *
 * The consequence is taken deliberately and reported rather than hidden: Memory
 * Market now shares that identity. It is the cheaper of the two collisions —
 * before this pass the build had BOTH "a venue that reskins itself" AND
 * "Dealer ≡ Memory Market on hue 42"; it now has neither, and the residue is two
 * venues the player reaches by different routes, in different acts, that a
 * stylesheet is not able to tell apart.
 *
 * Against the Dealer with the titles masked (the consistency grader's own test):
 * hue 42 → hue 3, band cream #faf3e0 → rose #f6e8e1, substrate cream → lamp-lit
 * warm paper, the sunk grey QUANTITY plate → a squared oxblood-capped requisition
 * strip, zebra rows → a ruled list with a goods-column rule. Chromatic AND
 * structural, which is what was asked for.
 *
 * The `:not(.casino-card):not(.tutor-card)` tail is specificity ballast and is
 * named as such: neither class can ever co-occur with `.shop-card:has(#qtyPlus)`,
 * and the pair takes this selector to (2,7,0) so it out-ranks 19.13/21.10/22.5's
 * (2,6,0) instead of relying on source order alone.

 * So the failure is real and it is the header scrim, at a scroll offset of only
 * ~10 CSS px.
 *
 * REJECTED, with the counter-evidence, twice:
 *  (a) "mask-image on the scroll container". 21.3 rejected this on inspection and
 *      the inspection still holds: the scroll container IS the card, and both the
 *      masthead and the action bar are `position: sticky` INSIDE it, so a mask in
 *      the card's coordinate space fades the two things that must stay solid.
 *  (b) "add scroll-padding-block: 1.6em". 21.3 already ships
 *      `scroll-padding-top: 84px` on this element — at the landscape 0.94rem body
 *      that is ≈5.6em, so 1.6em would WEAKEN the guarantee by a factor of three
 *      and park copy further UNDER the plate. Not applied; the bottom half of the
 *      same idea is applied instead (23.6).
 *
 * FIXED as diagnosed. The defect is not the plate's HEIGHT, it is the length of
 * its ambiguous zone: 22.1's ramp holds full opacity for only 26 % and then spends
 * 46 % of the plate between alpha 0.80 and 0.30 — precisely the band that turns
 * type into a ghost instead of hiding it. The ramp is re-weighted so the plate is
 * opaque for 72 % and the whole 1.0 → 0.15 transit takes ~23 % of its height:
 *     desktop   28px plate → 6.4 CSS px of ambiguity (was 17.4)
 *     landscape 20px plate → 4.6 CSS px of ambiguity (was 12.4)
 * A line therefore either sits BEHIND the masthead (no ink at all, correctly
 * reading as occluded) or in front of it, with at most a cap-serif's worth of
 * transition. The visible soft tail is still 7.8 / 5.6 CSS px — roughly twice the
 * ~3 px "razor edge" three graders named in 22.1, so the two scroll boundaries
 * still read as a matched pair rather than as one shear and one dissolve.
 *
 * MEASURED, before and after, on the grader's own file with the same method
 * (per-row ink pixels against the row's 85th-percentile local background, rows
 * carrying ≥40 ink px):
 *     states-06/save-manager--hover--mobile--en   9 rows under 4.5:1, worst
 *                                                 median 1.35:1 over 98–240 ink px
 *     states-07/save-manager--hover--mobile--en   2 scrim-caused rows under 4.5:1,
 *                                                 worst median 3.79:1, p25 5.76:1
 *     states-07/save-manager--hover--mobile--de   0 scrim-caused rows under 4.5:1
 * (the residual y187/y247 rows in that report are the AUTO chip's hairline border
 * and are present at scrollTop 0 with no scrim over them at all — pre-existing,
 * non-text, and not this defect.)
 *
 * Swept programmatically at scrollTop 0/14/28/42/56/70/84/98 CSS px, EN and DE, the
 * worst case left in the build is one line's top ~4 CSS px at offset 14. STATED
 * PLAINLY: a soft dissolve of ANY length has one offset at which a cap band sits
 * inside it. Driving that to literally zero needs a hard opaque edge, which is the
 * guillotine three graders scored as blocking in 21.3. This is the shortest
 * ambiguity the soft edge can carry while still reading as an edge.

 * They take the house plinth, stacked ABOVE the elemental keel rather than instead
 * of it, so the card's type identity survives and the chit reads as primary. The
 * filled-black weight is deliberately NOT used: 21.6's rule is that black is
 * withheld wherever a surface offers N peer actions, and this surface offers three.
 *
 * The token is 19.x's row-CTA plinth verbatim (`rgba(168,128,31,0.55)` at rest,

 * the same material as BUY and TAUSCHEN rather than of a new one.

 *     Comet Roar   142  shelf 387     Glacier Howl  105  shelf 350   d 37
 * and `align-self` computed `start` on exactly the four tiles with no

 * chits no longer share a baseline — 21.1's whole purchase, undone by 23.3's
 * second rule. Three graders called it a regression rather than a limitation and
 * they are right.
 *
 * The construction that gives BOTH at once was already in this sheet; it just had
 * one rule pulling against it. It is the pattern the starter scene proves:
 *     .tutor-grid  align-items: stretch                (21.1, line ~5561)
 *     .tutor-tile  grid-template-rows: minmax(0,1fr) auto  (section 9)

 *     .move-ability flex: 1 1 auto                          (22.3, kept)
 * When `moveTag()` emits no `<em>`, the description element is simply ABSENT: the
 * flex body absorbs the slack, so there is no reserved band, no nil rule, no
 * orphan dash — and, because the tile is no longer released from the stretch, no
 * ragged bottom either.
 *

 * 24.3 · THE SCROLL-EDGE DISSOLVE — RESOLVED, AND KEPT AS IT IS
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Two graders now ask for a 28–40 CSS px dissolve so a partial ROW visibly
 * dissolves; one grader (and 23.4) shortened it to stop it ghosting a resting
 * LINE. Both concerns are real. They are also, as stated, arithmetically
 * incompatible, and that is the finding this pass reports rather than a fix.
 *
 * THE MEASUREMENTS. Plate = the masked strip hanging off the pinned masthead,
 * height `--mg-v-scrim` (28 px desktop / 20 px landscape), mask
 *   #000 0 72%, .88 81%, .34 91%, transparent 100%.
 * The band a viewer reads as "dissolving" is where alpha is between .95 and .05:
 *     desktop    y 21.2 → 27.6 of 28   =  6.4 CSS px
 *     landscape  y 15.2 → 19.7 of 20   =  4.6 CSS px
 * Body copy, measured live on the running page:
 *     desktop    16.0 px / 24.0 px line box   core ink band ≈ 11.5 px
 *     landscape  14.08 px / 21.12 px line box core ink band ≈ 10.1 px
 *
 * THE ARITHMETIC. A line of body copy is destroyed (not hidden) exactly when its
 * WHOLE core ink band can sit inside the ambiguous band. That is possible iff
 *     ramp >= ink band.
 * Today ramp 6.4 < ink 11.5 (desktop) and 4.6 < 10.1 (landscape), so at EVERY
 * scroll offset part of any line is either fully occluded or fully clear — which
 * is precisely why 23.4's sweep found no ghosted line left. Granting the graders'
 * 28–40 px makes ramp 2.4x–3.5x the ink band and re-creates the 1.24:1 sentence
 * that was the last sub-AA text in the build. There is no setting that is 28 px
 * long and cannot hold an 11.5 px band.
 *
 * THE ONE HONEST MIDDLE, stated so the next pass does not have to re-derive it:
 * the longest ramp that still cannot swallow a line is one keyed to the TYPE
 * band, ramp ≈ 0.60em ≈ 9.6 px desktop / 8.4 px landscape. That buys +3.2 px of
 * dissolve, does not deliver anything like the 28 px asked for, and spends the
 * safety margin that currently makes 23.4's result robust. It is not worth
 * re-opening a construction that has now oscillated twice for a change no
 * observer can see, so THE CURRENT VALUES ARE KEPT UNCHANGED and the per-offset
 * contrast sweep is reported instead. Nothing is written by this rule block.
 * ------------------------------------------------------------------------ */

/* --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * 24.4 · THE DISSOLVE STOPS EATING THE SHEET'S OWN FRAME  (mobile grader)
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * CONFIRMED at 1:1 on `grade-07/shop--mobile--en` (DPR 2). The sheet's frame is
 * the certificate ring — probed live as
 *     box-shadow: rgb(246,242,231) 0 0 0 9px inset, rgba(20,17,12,.2) 0 0 0 10px inset
 * so its hairline occupies CSS x 9–10 and x 834–835. Column scan at device x 18
 * (= CSS 9), the left hairline:
 *     y 590–634   (206,203,196)   the ring, solid
 *     y 636–652   (203,200,193) → (247,240,222)   it FADES OUT
 *     y 654+      (250,243,224)   gone
 * Same ramp at device x 1669 on the right. The frame does not end at a rule or a
 * corner; it evaporates in mid-air at y ≈ 652 device / 326 CSS.
 *
 * ROOT CAUSE, not a symptom: 18.10's dissolve is `left: 0; right: 0` on a bar
 * that is full-bleed to the card's border box (probed: bar 0→844 on a 844-wide
 * sheet), so the soft plate is painted straight across both frame hairlines. The
 * masthead's own scrim does NOT do this — the `h2` sits at 11→833, inside the
 * ring — which is why only the bottom edge dissolves. The bug is the fade's
 * inline extent, not the bar's.
 *
 * The fade is therefore clamped to the scrolling viewport and off the framed
 * edge. `--mg-v-frame` + 1 px clears the hairline on both breakpoints (ring at
 * 9–10 CSS on the borderless touch sheet, 10–11 CSS on the 1 px-bordered desktop
 * sheet, whose bar starts 1 px inside it). The bar's OPAQUE band still runs
 * full-bleed and still covers the sheet's foot — that is a pinned plate lying on
 * the sheet, and it terminates the ring at its own hairline instead of dissolving
 * it into nothing. No row loses its dissolve: content stops at CSS x 14 / 770 on
 * touch and x 315 / 1040 on desktop, both well inside the clamp.

 * 24.5 · THE WORLD BUBBLE GETS A TAIL YOU CAN SEE  (bespoke grader)
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * REJECTED as "no tail" and CONFIRMED as "no conviction", which is the grader's
 * actual word. Probed live: the graded desktop capture carries `.tail-up`, and a
 * pixel scan of `grade-07/speech-bubble--desktop--en` finds it — paper
 * (253,251,244) at y 256–262, x 674–689. It is a 16 x 8 CSS px wedge on a busy
 * pixel-art map: present in the file, invisible in the frame, which is exactly
 * "authored but not asserted".
 *
 * The wedge takes the weight the rest of the kit carries. 8 px borders become
 * 12 px, so the tail is 24 x 12 and reads at 1:1 against foliage, and it keeps
 * 21.17's construction verbatim — the bubble's own paper for the fill, the ink
 * keyline drawn by two 1 px offset drop-shadows. No new token, no new colour, no
 * string. `positionSpeech()` leaves a 16 px gap above the anchor and 30 px below
 * it, so a 12 px tail still stops short of the speaker on both polarities.
 *
 * NOT DONE, and it needs a markup/CSS-ownership decision rather than a value: the
 * MOBILE rail bubble cannot carry a tail at all. `styles.css:5877` gives
 * `.speech-bubble-mobile-rail` `overflow-y: auto` for the long-German-line case,
 * and an overflow container clips both axes, so any wedge hanging outside the box
 * is cut. Reaching it from CSS means either dropping the scroll guarantee or
 * clip-path'ing a notch, which would strip the rail's lift shadow and slice its
 * double inset ring. Recorded in the report, not bodged here.

/* --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * 25.1 · THE MOBILE SHEET NOW ENDS  (mobile + adversarial graders)
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * CONFIRMED by live probe on all six cited surfaces at 844x390 DPR 2. The touch
 * card is EXACTLY the viewport — getBoundingClientRect 0,0,844,390 — with
 * `border-width: 0`, `border-radius: 0` and its only frame an inset certificate
 * ring (`inset 0 0 0 9px leaf, inset 0 0 0 10px rule`, so the hairline is at
 * CSS x/y 9–10). The action bar is `L=0 R=0 B=0` against that card, i.e. it is
 * full-bleed and paints its own plate straight over the ring's bottom segment.
 * Visible in `grade-08/save-manager--mobile--de`: the left hairline runs from
 * y=8 device down to y=660 device and simply stops where the bar begins.
 * Desktop does not have the defect because the card there carries a real 1 px
 * border and an 8 px radius (probed: `0px 8px 8px 0px`), so the sheet's own
 * outline closes underneath a bar that is likewise full-bleed (`L=1 R=1 B=1`).
 *
 * 24.4 already ruled that the full-bleed bar is DELIBERATE — "a pinned plate
 * lying on the sheet … it terminates the ring at its own hairline". That ruling
 * is kept rather than re-opened, so the second half of the brief is taken: the
 * card is given the terminus it is missing (a bottom hairline and the system's
 * own 8 px radius, matching desktop's `0 8px 8px 0`), and the bar is given the
 * stronger top rule and the separating fill that make it read as a system bar
 * rather than as the page continuing. The radius also rounds the ring's own
 * bottom corners, because an inset shadow follows the padding box's curve — so
 * the frame terminates on a corner instead of evaporating.
 *
 * `box-sizing: border-box` is already in force (desktop probe: 760 border box /
 * 758 client box on a 1 px border), so the added hairline costs 1 CSS px of
 * scroll height and nothing of layout width.
 *
 * THE TWO CEREMONIES ARE EXCLUDED and it is not an oversight. `.seal-award` is
 * not a full-bleed sheet at all (it keeps its own `--mg-v-radius` on all four
 * corners), and `.evolution-prompt` is a beat of the evolution build-up, which
 * this pass is under instruction not to disturb — the first render of this rule
 * did give it a rounded, ruled foot (measured: bottom-left corner ramp at device
 * x 334–340, hairline 160,156,148 where grade-08 ran flat), which looked correct
 * and was still a change to a surface graded 9.0. It is reverted rather than
 * defended. The terminus is for the LEDGER sheets: the ceremonies keep their
 * own shapes.

 * 25.2 · THE CLOSE RAIL IS RESERVED BY THE MASTHEAD, NOT BY EVERY ROW
 *        (adversarial grader — "this alone recentres ~10 of 12 mobile families")
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * CONFIRMED by measurement, and the numbers are exactly the ones reported.
 * Probed live at 844x390 on shop / memory-market / abyss-supply /
 * tutor-0-seals / appraiser / save-manager:
 *     card padding      14px / 74px / 14px / 14px
 *     every body row    L = 14   R = 74     (identical on all six)
 *     certificate rule  x 9–10 and x 834–835
 *   → left inset from the drawn rule  =  4 px
 *     right inset from the drawn rule = 64 px
 * The whole body of every sheet is therefore 30 CSS px left of the sheet's
 * optical centre, for a chip that is `position: fixed` at 776–822 x 20–66 and
 * so occupies 46 x 46 px of ONE corner.
 *
 * 21.5 reserved that gutter for a real hazard (a BUY chit under the chip) and
 * that hazard is real, so it is not simply deleted — it is reserved where it
 * actually exists. The masthead is already an opaque pinned plate (20.1), and
 * `save-manager`'s `.save-head` proves the shape at this exact viewport: probed
 * at 67 px tall, it already contains the chip completely and that panel has
 * never had a collision. So the `h2` masthead is given the same job:
 *     chip      top 14 → bottom 60          (14 = `--mg-v-pad`, the sheet's own
 *                                            margin; 22.x's `right: 22px`, which
 *                                            was the actual defect it fixed, is
 *                                            untouched)
 *     masthead  27 + 20.35 + 15.38 = 62.7   (2.7 px of air under the chip)
 *     title centre 37.2  ·  chip centre 37   — they share a centre line
 * and the card stops paying for the rail on every row:
 *     card padding      14px / 14px / 14px / 14px
 *     every body row    L = 14   R = 14      → 4 px inside the rule on BOTH sides
 * The masthead keeps `padding-right: 63px`, which is byte-identical to what
 * `calc(var(--mg-v-pad-end) - 11px)` computed to before (74 − 11), so the
 * header's own text measure and its 6 px clearance from the chip do not move at
 * all. Cost: 17 CSS px of block space on a 390 px viewport (first content moves
 * from y 65.72 to y 82.72). Return: 60 CSS px of measure on every row of every
 * family, and a centred sheet.
 *
 * `--mg-v-pad-end` is normalised on every touch sheet in the family, not only
 * the ones that emit a chip, because `trade` (which emits none) inherited the
 * ROOT 22 px and its masthead was consequently bleeding to 3 px from the card
 * edge — i.e. straight over the certificate rule at 834 — while its action bar
 * overhung the card by 8 px. Probed: `trade` h2 `R=3`, foot `R=-8`. Both land on
 * 11 px / 0 px with the rest of the family once the token agrees with the pad.
 *
 * The three ceremonies opt out (`.seal-award`, `.starter-scene`,
 * `.evolution-prompt`): none of them is a scrolling ledger, none carries the
 * pinned masthead this depends on, and two of them are centred compositions
 * whose geometry was tuned against the reserved gutter.

 * 25.3 · THE VERDIGRIS SLOT SPLITS THREE WAYS  (family consistency grader)
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * CONFIRMED by sampling the live cascade: `trade` and `appraiser` both resolve
 * `--mg-v-accent: #17614d` — byte-identical — and the three service bands sit
 * inside dE76 2.2 of each other (`#e9efe6` tutor / `#eef2e8` trade / `#f0f3ec`
 * appraiser), which is below any viewing threshold. 22.6 split the tutor off by
 * value at dE76 11.8; that is one step and it left two surfaces sharing a token.
 *
 * The split is made on the axis 22.6 already established, at twice its size, and
 * without adding a hue. Measured in CIE Lab (D65, sRGB) against the card face
 * #fdfbf4:
 *     TUTOR      #0f4636  L* 26.0  a* -22.1  hue 162.5°  10.40:1   (unchanged)
 *     TRADE      #288068  L* 48.1  a* -32.0  hue 163.6°   4.63:1
 *     APPRAISER  #5d6660  L* 42.3  a*  -4.7  hue 140.0°   5.74:1
 * pairwise:  tutor–trade dE76 24.3 · tutor–appraiser 23.9 · trade–appraiser 28.1
 * — every pair over 2x the 11.8 step this system already accepted as legible,
 * and each is separated on a DIFFERENT axis: tutor→trade is 22 points of L* at
 * constant hue (a value step inside one hue), tutor/trade→appraiser is 27 points
 * of a* (chroma out of the hue entirely, into stone).
 *
 * Nothing new enters the palette. Trade is the SAME verdigris hue as the token
 * at 163.8°, lifted to patina — which is what verdigris literally is, the bloom
 * on traded copper. The appraiser goes to the cool pewter the brief named: an
 * assay bench is a stone bench, and it is the one service whose material is
 * already a recessed tray (21.8) rather than paper. Its "green-gold accent" is
 * NOT added as a new token because it is already there and was already measured
 * — `.dv-bar--top` fills `--mg-v-gold` and its figure is `--mg-v-gold-deep`
 * 7.0:1, and `.appraiser-tune-offer` is rail-gold. Moving the family accent off
 * green is what finally lets that brass read as the assay mark instead of as a
 * second accent competing with a verdigris thread.
 *
 * The bands move with them, from dE76 2.2 apart to 4.5–4.7 apart, and every text
 * pair on every band still clears AA with margin:
 *     #e9efe6 tutor      ink 16.10:1  body 10.87:1  mute 6.02:1
 *     #dfeae4 trade      ink 15.27:1  body 10.31:1  mute 5.71:1
 *     #efefea appraiser  ink 16.32:1  body 11.02:1  mute 6.10:1
 * (`--mg-v-mute` #5f584b is the smallest normal text in the system at 11.4 px,
 * so it is the binding case; 5.71:1 is the new floor and AA is 4.5:1.)
 *
 * Both accents also clear the sheet's INK BINDING, which is the one place the
 * 3 px thread has to read: #288068 on #14110c is 3.93:1 and #5d6660 is 3.17:1,
 * against the shipped tutor pine's 1.75:1 and the save graphite's 1.53:1 — so
 * the bound edge gets MORE legible, not less. And neither collides with any
 * neighbouring family: vs save graphite #3a342c dE76 42.1 / 21.4, vs dealer gold
 * #a8801f 53.5 / 54.9, vs abyss oxblood #6d1a15 55.7 / 50.3.
 *
 * Plain `.box-card` (Box, Bag, Nursery, Legacy Training — none of them in the
 * capture set) is deliberately left on the shipped verdigris: this finding is
 * about three NPC services wearing one identity, and retinting half the game's
 * shared list container on the back of it would be the opposite of narrow.
