CLAUDE.md gains the surface beside the keyboard model it shares, and
NOTES.md the measurements: the 83px clip with its screenshot, the probe
that established a top-layer dialog escapes paint containment from
inside a view, the UA stylesheet's 354px, the focus steal a longer
retry cannot beat, and the submenu this change pushed off-screen before
it pulled it back.

The last of those is also a note about scope: the issue was claimed
saying the submenu would be measured and filed, and the measurement
said fix it.

`wa-dropdown-item` sets its `role` in its *own* first update, so a

reads exactly like a menu that opened and refused to take focus.
- **`focus()` on a popup that has not positioned itself is a silent
no-op**, so the first focus is retried across a few frames.
- **`focus()` on a surface that has not shown itself is a silent
no-op**, so the first focus is retried on a *time* budget rather
than a frame count — the thing being waited for is another
component's animation. And a retry is not enough on its own for the
sheet below: `wa-dialog` focuses `[autofocus]` or *itself* on the
frame after `showModal()`, and it cannot see the first menu item to
prefer it, because the panel is slotted through `menu-surface` and
the dialog's own `querySelector` stops at the `<slot>`. The first
attempt therefore *succeeds* and is then overwritten, which no
amount of waiting fixes — so the surface announces `menu-shown` when
it has settled and `MenuKeyboard.refocus()` re-asserts.
- **Focus is only taken back if the menu had it.** A click elsewhere
closes the menu too, and pulling focus to the row the user
right-clicked a moment ago is worse than leaving it.

moving focus without setting it leaves the highlight on whichever
item the mouse last touched.
**And a menu is drawn where it fits: a popup on a desktop, a bottom
sheet on a phone** (#60). `components/menu-surface/` is that one
decision. The host renders the panel it always rendered and slots it
into whichever surface is up, so `ContextMenuController` still drives
`.active` and `.anchor` as though it were talking to a `wa-popup`, and
fourteen call sites changed one tag name each and nothing else.
**It is a correctness fix, not a taste one, and the failure was
measured on the device rather than inferred.** Chrome 113 has no
Popover API, so `wa-popup` takes its own documented fallback and
positions with `strategy: "fixed"`; `.main-panel` carries
`contain: layout style paint`, and paint containment *clips* fixed
descendants. On the reference device the main panel spans 0-318 of a
439px viewport while the open menu spanned 191-401 — three of its seven
items cut off, with no way to reach them. `showModal()` is Chrome 37
and uses the real top layer, so a dialog is immune by construction.
Six things about it are load-bearing.
**"Dialogs are fine" needed checking, because every other dialog in
this app is mounted in `index.html`** — outside `.main-panel` — so it
was not evidence about one opened from inside a view. A probe dialog
appended to `track-list`'s shadow root paints to y=439, over the mini
player and the tab bar, with the contained ancestor still in place. A
top-layer element's containing block is the viewport, contained
ancestor or not.
**The sheet has to un-do the UA stylesheet.** A native `<dialog>`
carries `max-width: calc(100% - 6px - 2em)` and `margin: auto`, which
drew a 354px panel floating in the middle of a 424px screen.
`max-width: none` plus explicit margins is what makes it a sheet.
**The row sizing lives in `contextMenuStyles`, not in the component.**
The panel is the *host's* light DOM — it stays in the host's shadow
root, so only the host's stylesheet can reach it. `menu-surface` puts
`data-sheet` on the panel and that shared stylesheet does the rest,
which is how fourteen menus went from 29px rows to 48px ones in one
edit.
**A dismissal has to travel back.** `wa-dialog` closes itself on
Escape, which would leave the controller believing the menu is open —
and the failure mode is not a stuck sheet but the *next* long-press
doing nothing, which reads as the gesture breaking. `menu-dismiss` is
that signal; the three surfaces that do not use `ContextMenuController`
bind it themselves.
**The playlist submenu is a sheet too, and it had to be.** It is a
`placement="right-start"` flyout, and making the menu full-width moved
its anchor — measured at x 182 to 0, entirely off-screen, so "Add to
Playlist" led nowhere. It stacks as a second sheet over the first,
which is also why `menu-shown` does not re-assert focus while the
submenu is open.
**And which call sites exist is swept, not remembered.** A thirteenth
menu written as a bare `<wa-popup>` works perfectly in every tier here
and is clipped on the device, so `menu-surface.test.ts` reads the
source and fails on one outside a three-file allowlist —
`menu-surface` itself, `job-indicator` (in `.top-bar`, which no
ancestor contains — the contrast that proved the diagnosis on #62) and
`now-playing`'s cover preview (a hover affordance, which a touch device
never opens). **The sweep found two of the fourteen**; twelve were
converted by hand.
**And a menu opens from a finger, through the event it already has.**
`utils/long-press.ts` is one document-capture listener installed once
from `index.ts`: a touch that holds still for 500 ms dispatches a
