+# 2026-09-28 — The anti-slop arc: six design slices gated, hunted and merged
+
+**Origin.** Prime: "ask design-dev to run the entire booth surface through
+impeccable" (2026-09-28). booth-dev relayed it with the scope and the standing
+constraints (never GET live booth pages; work on a copy; the fogged sindra
+booths untouched; 768 thumbnails and no-announcements not to be re-raised).
+design-dev ran impeccable (engine v0.1.6) plus a Vercel guidelines pass over
+16 surfaces. Report: kept booth `booth-antislop`. Prime then ruled in
+design-dev's session ("go with your recommendations, push, start the fix
+slices") and the five design calls went with design-dev's recommendations
+(sentence-case tagline, no needs-you side stripe, matte brand dot, Bureau top
+stripe kept, undo-for-deletes parked).
+
+**What landed, in merge order** (every merge on Prime's word in THIS session;
+design-dev's relayed "push" was not acted on):
+
+| merge | commits | gate on the exact tip |
+|---|---|---|
+| S1-S4, S6, S5a + fixup | `09071dc..7143fae` | 1030 passed, 382/382 |
+| S5b (in-place client) | `0233ca6` | 1068, 428/428 + seam pass |
+| booth-dev's owed items + SPYRJA fold | `377e652`, `213071b` | 1079, 433/433 |
+| S5c (keys, doc bar, tile sizes) | `72d6c61` | 1108, 480/480 |
+
+S1 house clock (0848 stamps, no IPs); S2 legibility; S3 phone layouts; S4
+reading measure; S6 the rulings; S5a a11y markup and the confirm helper moved
+to base.html's `<head>`; S5b focus survives a swap, a floating status line,
+leaving with an unsent answer asks first (beforeunload, both surfaces); S5c
+`BoothKeys.theirs()` decides whose key it is, the grid cursor is real focus,
+tiles carry width/height (`items.image_dims`, outside `booth_items`).
+
+**The gate procedure that worked** (it caught things every time):
+1. Fetch the staged ref from design-dev's clone into this repo; confirm it
+   fast-forwards from main.
+2. Gate the EXACT tip in a scratch `git worktree` (imports resolve to the
+   worktree when pytest runs from it): full suite, then every mutation table.
+   Never merge on the peer's reported numbers; they matched every time, and
+   that is still not the point.
+3. Hunt what the peer did not. A single-arm hulda hunt on S3-S5a (BRINGA)
+   found 6, including a real REGRESSION: Wipe now's confirm moved from an
+   inline onsubmit to a footer listener, leaving a loading window with no
+   prompt. Also: release on the booth page never asked; a `__proto__` word
+   bypassed the fail-closed fallback; generated ids collided with valid
+   question keys.
+4. Seam-pass every change that touches booth-dev's code (batch/carry,
+   embed.js, items.py, thumbs.py) by reading it against the live module.
+5. Re-check the staged ref right before `merge --ff-only` (design-dev rebases
+   in place).
+
+**booth-dev's own items from the arc**, reported by design-dev and done after
+S5b: carry() measured a sent-then-changed form against its old defaults (an
+answer set back mid-flight was lost); the embed's clean-batch reload ignored
+the report's own inputs; two r2b anchors matched twice. A hulda hunt on those
+(SPYRJA) found 8 more, including the one that mattered most: `mutation_check`
+counted ANY non-zero exit, a collection error included, as a proof. Only
+pytest exit 1 proves now, with timeouts, byte-exact restore, a run lock, and
+overlap-aware anchor uniqueness. 433/433 under the hardened tool, so no row had
+been proving by accident.
+
+**Parked:** the embed palette following the Booth theme rather than the host
+page (henge 91, design-dev); letter shortcuts that cannot be turned off, WCAG
+2.1.4 (henge 94, `let-the-booth-s-single-letter-keyboard`, operator: park).
