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.
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.
