`.planning/audits/2026-08-11-ui/` is the pass this work came from: the
app driven by hand headless plus three static reviews, ~118 findings
that are really five problems, each spread by being copied rather than
fixed. `.planning/plans/active/007-ui-reconciliation.md` sequences them
by blast radius and records what each of the six passes actually
shipped — including twenty-five entries under "where the plan was
wrong", which is the point of writing it down.
The discipline those entries add up to, now in NOTES.md: a finding is
three hypotheses — how big it is, why it is that big, and what to do
about it — and they can be independently right and wrong. Three of the
audit's recommended fixes would have shipped a bug (`m1` stops the
card grids repainting, `m6`'s index-ordered selection goes stale on
any re-sort, `m5`'s guard leaves the marquee short), all three because
they reasoned from the shape of the code and not from what the rest of
the file already knew about it. Five findings evaporated or inverted
on contact.
CLAUDE.md gains the invariants that came out of it, and the skill
gains the fourteen measurement traps, each of which produced a wrong
number first — the newest being that a longtask entry arrives after
the task that produced it, so two numbers that must agree are worth
more than one you have to be sceptical about.
