+ * A Web Awesome form control is at least the app's 44px touch floor.
+ *
+ * #56 named 44px and #186 found nothing but the transport had reached
+ * it. Web Awesome's form controls are the part of Settings this app
+ * does not draw: measured on the reference device (TLP301, 424x439),
+ * `wa-input`'s control is **204x20** and `wa-button` **185x21** — the
+ * shortest controls on the page, and the only ones whose height is
+ * decided inside somebody else's shadow root.
+ *
+ * `--wa-form-control-height` is that decision, and it is the library's
+ * own theming variable rather than a part or an internal — the default
+ * theme sets it at `:root` and every control that has a height reads
+ * it (button, input, select, radio). So this is `wa-slider-label`'s
+ * better half: the API first, and no reach into a shadow root at all.
+ *
+ * Three things about it are load-bearing.
+ *
+ * **A custom property inherits through a shadow boundary**, which is
+ * what lets a `:host` declaration reach a `wa-input` the host renders.
+ * That is also why it is a stylesheet a component adopts rather than a
+ * `:root` rule in `index.css`: a `:root` rule would cover every wa
+ * control in the app in one line and be invisible to the component
+ * tier, which renders a component and no page stylesheet. Here the
+ * floor is measurable where it is applied.
+ *
+ * **It is a flat 44px rather than a floor over the library's own
+ * expression.** The default is `round(calc(2 * padding-block + 1em *
+ * line-height), 1px)` — em-based, so `size="small"` is what produced
+ * the 20px above — and a `max(44px, …)` would have to restate that
+ * formula here, which is a copy of somebody else's arithmetic that
+ * goes stale silently. A flat value is safe because this app uses
+ * exactly two sizes, `small` and the default, and both are under the
+ * floor; a `size="large"` added later would be pinned down to 44 and
+ * should take that as the prompt to revisit this.
+ *
+ * **Only the height is pinned.** The font size still comes from
+ * `size="small"`, so a control grows its hit area without growing its
+ * visual weight — which is what #186's Direction asks for and what the
+ * page header's second pass had to be corrected to do.

+ * overflow fit on this page, so nothing here needs the negative-margin
+ * treatment — height is free and the two square controls can simply be
+ * square.
+ *
+ * **What the sweep cannot see is written down here as a test rather
+ * than as a comment**, because it is the trap this whole issue keeps
+ * setting. Two controls are invisible to a walk of `button, select,
+ * input`: `config-field`'s toggle, whose `<input>` is
+ * `opacity: 0; width: 0; height: 0` so the thing a finger hits is the
+ * `<label>` around it (34x19, smaller than anything in either of the
+ * issue's tables), and `shortcut-capture`'s reset button, which renders
+ * only for a shortcut somebody has already rebound. Both are asserted
