**What the audit did not find is a reachability failure**, which is
worth recording because it is the promise plan 018 makes. At 424x439,
on all ten primary views plus the queue, `documentElement.scrollWidth`
on every view -- the ten primary ones, the queue, `album-details`,
`artist-details`, Downloads and Autotag -- `documentElement.scrollWidth`
is 424 against a 424 viewport, no control sits outside a scrollable
ancestor, and a hit test at each control's centre reaches the control.
The width work of #57, #62, #55 and #59 holds; what was left was
vertical, and it was this screen.
The probe is worth keeping in mind for the next audit, because two of
its three checks needed a second pass to mean anything. "Painted
outside the viewport" flags a horizontally scrolling carousel -- the
home shelves -- so the real question is whether a *scrollable ancestor*
can bring the element back. And a hit test at a control's centre flags
everything below the fold in a scroll container, so it only says
something once the control is on screen. Both first drafts produced
long lists of nothing.
## Two traps that cost time on the device, both already written down (2026-08-21)
Recorded because both are in `android-tier.md` and I met them anyway.
