-Adaptation is a frozen contract term, not a stylesheet pass at the end. Freeze every width, theme, input mode, and text scale you support in `inventory.viewports` before the first media query.
+# Adaptive layout
 
-## What drives adaptation
+Responsive behavior is part of the contract. Freeze supported conditions in `inventory.viewports` before choosing breakpoints; do not wait until the final CSS pass.
 
-Width is one axis among several. List every condition that changes the render.
+Use `accessibility.zoom_percent` for the supported zoom target.
 
-- Viewport width **and** height; height decides sticky chrome, sheets, keyboard-open collapse.
-- Container width, when the component also sits in a sidebar or a grid cell.
-- Text scale to 200%, and the 320 px equivalent viewport at 400% zoom.
-- `pointer: coarse` against `fine`; `hover: none` against `hover`.
-- Locale length: German and Russian expand 30-35%; CJK is fewer glyphs at double advance width.
-- Every `inventory.viewports` entry, `accessibility.forced_colors` mode, and each declared terminal column count.
+## Inventory the conditions
 
-## Breakpoints from content pressure
+Record conditions that change content, interaction, or layout:
 
-Find the width where content fails, then name the breakpoint after that failure.
+- Viewport width and height; container width for components embedded in grids or sidebars.
+- Text at 200% scale and the 320 CSS px equivalent at 400% zoom.
+- Fine/coarse pointer and hover availability.
+- Longest supported locale, including CJK line breaks and glyph widths.
+- Forced-colors, contrast preference, and each declared theme.
 
-- Narrow until one component's smallest readable form stops fitting; that width is the breakpoint.
-- Hold prose to 45-75 characters per line; split above 90, merge below 35.
-- Reach for `clamp()`, `minmax()`, and container queries first; a media query is the fallback.
-- Ship 3-5, named for the transition: `sidebar-collapse`, `table-to-cards`. Device names are banned.
+For each condition, say what changes and why. A desktop screenshot alone is not responsive evidence.
 
-## Transformation verbs
+## Break where content fails
 
-State each adaptation as one verb from this closed set, written into `direction.principles`.
+Use content pressure, not device names, to set breakpoints. Prefer fluid constraints (`clamp()`, `minmax()`, container queries) before media queries. Name roughly 3–5 transitions by their behavior, such as `sidebar-collapse` or `table-to-cards`.
 
-- **reflow** — same elements, different flow axis.
-- **stack** — columns become one column, DOM order unchanged.
-- **collapse** — a visible group becomes a disclosure: nav to menu, filters to sheet.
-- **reveal** — content withheld at narrow widths appears once space allows.
-- **defer** — a secondary block drops below the fold or loads on demand.
-- **substitute** — the form changes: table to card list, tabs to accordion.
-- **bound** — truncate with a focusable route to the full value, or confine overflow to one axis.
+For each transformation choose one verb and record it in `direction.principles`:
 
-## Priority when space runs out
+- **reflow** — same elements, new flow axis.
+- **stack** — columns become one column; DOM order stays intact.
+- **collapse** — a visible group becomes a disclosure or menu.
+- **reveal** — content appears once there is room.
+- **defer** — secondary content moves below the fold or loads on demand.
+- **substitute** — the form changes, such as table to cards.
+- **bound** — overflow is confined or a truncated value has a reachable full form.
 
-Rank content once, before layout. Never let DOM order decide what disappears.
+Rank content before layout: P0 required to complete the task, P1 required to decide, P2 context, P3 ornament. Drop P3 first, collapse P2, defer P1; provide a route to every hidden control. Never truncate P0.
 
-- P0 task impossible without it, P1 needed to decide, P2 context, P3 ornament.
-- P3 drops, P2 collapses, P1 defers; P0 never truncates without a reveal.
-- The primary action stays reachable with zero scrolling at 320x568.
-- A control dropped at some width needs an equivalent route, or it goes in `omissions`.
+## Type, spacing, and touch
 
-## Fluid type and spacing
+Use one fluid scale rather than accumulating breakpoint overrides. Body prose has a 16 px floor; 14 px is for dense tabular data only. Set `clamp()` endpoints from the narrow and wide targets, with one fluid term between. Keep body line-height around 1.5 (1.6–1.75 for CJK) and display line-height around 1.2–1.3. Derive gaps from the product's spacing scale.
 
-Bind type and spacing to one continuous scale, not per-breakpoint overrides.
+Design for the coarsest supported input: touch targets at least 44×44 CSS px with 8 px between neighbors; pointer targets at least 24×24 px with hit padding where needed. Every hover behavior needs a tap or focus route.
 
-- Body 16 px floor; 14 px only for dense tabular data, never prose.
-- `clamp()` min from the 320 px value, max from the 1440 px value, one `vw` term between.
-- Line height 1.5 body, 1.2-1.3 display, 1.6-1.75 CJK body.
-- Every gap derives from one 4 px base; the fifth improvised value is a defect.
+## Capture matrix
 
-## Targets for the coarser input
+Capture declared widths at 320, 375, 768, 1024, 1440, and 1920 CSS px where they are within product scope. Include narrow/short height (320×568 and 1024×600), 200% text scale, 400% zoom, coarse pointer without hover, the longest string, and a CJK locale when supported. Add any `inventory.viewports` entries not covered above.
 
-Size for the coarsest input the contract admits, not the one on your desk.
+Tie captures to the current `design_contract_sha256`. If layout changes afterward, update the contract hash and recapture affected conditions.
 
-- Touch 44x44 CSS px minimum, 8 px clear between neighbours.
-- Pointer 24x24 px minimum, hit padding beyond the painted edge.
-- Every hover affordance needs a tap, focus, or long-press equivalent.
-- Keep destructive controls out of the bottom 48 px reserved for OS gestures.

-Accept only these as brand authority. Everything else is your assumption.

-## When no brand exists

-- Fast: 2 type sizes above body, flat surfaces, 100-150 ms transitions, no entrance animation.

+
+Use the absolute installed probe command supplied by the route context or SKILL.md after a page is served locally. The driver verifies the pinned browser capability, opens seven isolated viewport passes, saves screenshots, and reports findings in report.json plus a review table. A missing or unverified browser exits 2 with `BLOCKED: browser unavailable`; source checks still run, but every rendered check remains not verified. Never install a browser or fetch a dependency during the session. The probe is product evidence; independent `visual-qa` acceptance remains a separate verdict.
+
+Select the request's frontend mode before editing. build is the default and may author the requested UI. polish begins with a baseline probe and changes only the value of a flagged spacing, color, type, or motion rule; preserve structure and information architecture. audit runs the probe and reports, with zero source edits. harden tests only cue-backed axes: content length, content shape, quantity, container, state, and environment. For each axis record `Scenario | Observed | Owner`, or `not applicable: <reason>`. Repair only a defect the stress pass found. Explicit video, slides, or unrelated prose requests belong to their own routes.
+
+For an editable mode, build or inspect, probe, fix, and probe again for up to three fix rounds, followed by a final full probe. Within each round prefer delete, platform-native behavior, reuse, correction of an existing value, then new code. A remaining HIGH blocks completion unless the reply names it as a limitation with a reason. Review rows use `Severity | Rule | Where | Measured | Fix`; add a separate Not verified list and Block/Approve decision. Label claims Measured, Derived, or Inferred. An inferred value is never phrased as a measurement. Do not tune thresholds after seeing an A/B judge result.

-- One `nav`, `main`, `footer` landmark; every repeating region gets an accessible name.

-- Rank each block P0 (task impossible without it) to P3 (decoration) before choosing sizes.

+- Declare columns, gutter, maximum content width, and the point where the grid changes. Treat 1200–1440 px and 45–75 characters per prose line as starting ranges, adjusted to the actual content.
+- Reuse the existing spacing scale. If none exists, define a small one from a 4 px base. Keep within-group spacing tighter than between-group spacing.

-| Index / list | fixed row rhythm, sticky header, column widths that survive long strings |
-| Record detail | identity block pinned, secondary attributes collapsible, actions in one place |
-| Form / wizard | single column, one question group per step, errors adjacent to their field |
-| Editor / canvas | fixed chrome, one scrolling region, tools reachable from the canvas |
-| First-run / empty | the next action is the largest element on screen |
-
-## App shell versus document
-
-Decide which the route is; mixing them produces nested scrollbars.
-
-- App shell: viewport-height frame, persistent nav, exactly one internal scroll region.
-- Document: a single page scroll, no fixed chrome beyond an optional header.
-- In a shell, the primary action stays reachable without scrolling at 320×568.

-## Spend empty space deliberately
-
-Empty space is the cheapest ranking device. Spend it, do not fill it.
-
-- Give the P0 block more surrounding space than anything else on the screen.
-- 8–12px within a group, 32px+ between unrelated groups; nothing at an ambiguous 20px.
-- Reserve the final box size for async content so late data cannot shift layout.

+| CF-201 | WCAG contrast floor | Body/small text 4.5:1; text ≥24px (or ≥18.5px bold, per krehel contrast.md's 14pt≈18.5px rounding — not 19px) and UI-component boundaries/icons/focus rings 3:1. Text inside a disabled control (:disabled, aria-disabled="true") is skipped, per WCAG 1.4.3's inactive-component exception. Placeholder contrast is owned by CF-807 alone | DET | body below floor: HIGH; large-text/component tier below floor: MEDIUM |
+| CF-202 | Focus-indicator thickness and contrast | Focused and unfocused computed styles must differ in at least one of outline, box-shadow, border or background-color. Read them only after el.matches(':focus-visible') is confirmed true; if it is false, report not_verified. A computed outline-style: auto is the browser's own two-tone ring and passes the thickness and contrast checks outright, because its computed outline-width (1px) is not its painted width. A custom ring should be ≥2px and ≥3:1 against the resolved background just outside it | DET | HIGH only when nothing changes on focus (no visible indicator, MD-011 #2); MEDIUM when a custom ring exists but is under 2px or under 3:1 |
+| CF-203 | APCA advisory layer | Body Lc 75 min / 90 preferred; non-body Lc 60/75; large (≥36px) Lc 45/60; UI components Lc 30 floor | DET computation, JUDG weight (advisory, never blocks alone) | informational annotation on a CF-201 finding |
+| CF-204 | Contrast against an image or gradient background | Sampled worst-case region must still clear CF-201's floor | DET (derived for a CSS gradient; an image only through the optional same-origin canvas upgrade, else not_verified) | HIGH if the sampled region fails |
+| CF-205 | One accent colour per view | At most one high-saturation hue used for interactive emphasis in a single rendered view | JUDG with DET-assist histogram | MEDIUM |
+| CF-206 | Hue tolerance for "one meaning" | Two accent/status hues within 15° of each other count as the same semantic colour | DET | LOW |
+| CF-207 | Status never carried by colour alone | A state/status indicator pairs colour with text, icon, or pattern | JUDG with DET-assist | HIGH (auto-HIGH) |
+| CF-301 | On-scale spacing | A computed padding, gap or margin value is on-scale when it is within ±1px of a multiple of 4px. Values under 4px (hairline adjustments) are skipped, and so are equal (±1px) left and right margins on a block narrower than its parent, since those are resolved margin: auto | DET | 1–3 distinct off-scale values in a view: LOW; more than 3: MEDIUM |
+| CF-302 | Grouping ratio | Inter-group gap ≥2× intra-group gap | DET | MEDIUM |
+| CF-303 | Adjacent-element breathing room (non-interactive visual grouping) | ≥12px between bordered/filled visual blocks; ≥24px around borderless blocks and between unrelated groups — scoped to non-interactive grouping/whitespace rhythm | DET | MEDIUM |
+| CF-304 | Heading spacing asymmetry | Target: more space above a heading than below it (≈2× per current composition.md). DET fail line: a clear inversion only — above < 0.75× below AND below − above ≥12px; equal spacing is not flagged | DET | LOW |
+| CF-305 | Full-width control inset | A full-width primary control stays inset from the viewport edge (≈16px), not flush | DET | LOW |
+| CF-306 | Prefer container gap over sibling margins | A repeated group's rhythm comes from the parent's gap, not per-child margin | JUDG | LOW |
+| CF-401 | Concentric radius | Inner radius ≈ outer radius − padding, tolerance ±2px (Delta 1 adopts §C.3's gating; see the corrected Conflicts resolved #5). Both radii are capped at min(width, height)/2 before comparing; the pair is compared only where the child's box reaches the parent corner being compared; skipped once the parent's padding exceeds 24px | DET | LOW |
+| CF-402 | Elevation declared once | A surface's border and its own shadow do not duplicate the same edge: flag only a hard, near-zero-blur shadow (≤2px) tracing the same boundary a border already draws (the "ghost card" pattern), not any border-plus-soft-shadow pairing | DET | LOW |
+| CF-403 | No hard offset shadow outside a declared register | box-shadow with ≈zero blur and a large solid offset is banned unless the page's recorded visual register explicitly calls for it | JUDG (register-dependent) | MEDIUM |
+| CF-404 | No glow/bloom on primary actions | One glow test shared with SLOP-010: a box-shadow/filter: drop-shadow with offset ≤2px, blur ≥16px and shadow HSL saturation >0.4 (the earlier "1.5× shorter side" test is dropped). Each glowing element is reported once: under SLOP-010 when the same glow recurs on ≥2 unrelated elements, otherwise here at LOW (a single glowing heading is also reported here, per that split) | DET | LOW |
+| CF-405 | Neutral image outline | A ~1px low-opacity, near-achromatic outline around photographic imagery | DET | LOW |
+| CF-406 | Solid modal scrim | A modal backdrop is solid or near-solid, not backdrop-filter: blur | DET | LOW |
+| CF-407 | Undecided decorative patterns | A grid/dot background, radial halo, marquee, or pseudo-element stripe with no real content referent | DET presence, JUDG "real referent" | LOW–MEDIUM |
+| CF-501 | Named token set kept | enter 420ms cubic-bezier(0.16,1,0.3,1); ui 180ms cubic-bezier(0.2,0.8,0.2,1); exit 160ms cubic-bezier(0.4,0,1,1) | DET | LOW (drift from the set) |
+| CF-502 | Press feedback | Scale to 0.96 over 150ms, ease-out; never below 0.95 | DET | LOW |
+| CF-503 | Entrance scale floor | An entrance transform never starts at scale(0); it starts at ≥0.95 — this floor does not apply to an icon-swap cross-fade, which follows its own transition instead | DET | MEDIUM |
+| CF-504 | Exit shorter than entrance, same path reversed | Exit duration < entrance duration; same movement axis, reversed | DET | LOW |
+| CF-505 | No spring bounce on feedback motion | Overshoot/bounce stays at 0 for toggle/toast/press feedback | DET where a curve is inspectable, else JUDG from a recording | MEDIUM |
+| CF-506 | High-frequency interaction ceiling | A routinely-repeated interaction stays ≤150ms or instant | DET | LOW |
+| CF-507 | will-change restricted | Only transform/opacity/filter, only while the animation is running | DET | wrong property: LOW; left on at rest: MEDIUM |
+| CF-508 | No layout-triggering continuous animation | width/height/padding/margin are not animated continuously; transform/opacity are used instead, except a deliberate scoped all | DET | MEDIUM |
+| CF-509 | Reduced-motion path stays functional | Every motion-gated state, label, and control stays reachable with prefers-reduced-motion: reduce forced | DET (media query applies), JUDG (meaning preserved) | HIGH if a control/state becomes unreachable |
+| CF-510 | Slow-motion replay check before sign-off | No numeric threshold — a checklist judgment call | JUDG | LOW |
+| CF-601 | Single-system stroke discipline | One grid (24px), one stroke weight per icon set; a set that ships weight variants may match a variant to adjacent text weight (regular↔lighter, semibold/bold↔heavier) | JUDG (system-level) | MEDIUM if two unrelated icon families appear on one surface |
+| CF-602 | Icon-to-text relative sizing | Icon ≈1–1.25× adjacent text's cap-height; legible at a 16px minimum render | DET | LOW |
+| CF-603 | Icon-only controls stay named and never solo on a destructive action | Every focusable control (button, a[href], input, select, textarea, [role=button\ | link\ | checkbox\ |
+| CF-604 | Optical alignment over bounding-box alignment | Icon-side padding runs ≈2px tighter than text-side padding in the same control | JUDG | LOW |
+| CF-701 | Hit-area floor and recommendation | Coarse pointer ≥44×44px recommended; 24×24px is the WCAG 2.5.8 AA floor: a target below it fails unless WCAG 2.5.8's spacing exception holds (a 24px-diameter circle centred on the target's box intersects no other target's box or circle). Touch-primary is decided by viewport width, not the pointer media feature (emulated viewports leave (pointer: coarse) false): widths ≤768 (320, 390, 768 and the 720 zoom pass) are touch-primary, 1440 is fine-pointer. On a touch-primary width, 24–44px is MEDIUM for a non-primary control (never a silent pass) and HIGH for a primary action — the form's sole type=submit button, or the first filled button or button-styled link inside the first viewport (a narrower, fully mechanical form of the heuristic §C.3's CF-404 row uses); at 1440 a 24×24px target passes. The same width rule governs CF-702, CF-703 and RS-008 | DET | below 24px without the spacing exception: HIGH (FAIL); 24–44px primary action on a touch-primary width: HIGH; 24–44px non-primary on a touch-primary width: MEDIUM; 24–44px at 1440: pass |
+| CF-702 | Neighbour clearance by pointer class | ≥8px clear space between coarse-pointer targets' expanded areas; ≥4px for fine-pointer | DET | MEDIUM |
+| CF-703 | Destructive controls keep the coarse minimum everywhere | 44×44px floor applies to a destructive control even on a fine-pointer surface (the 1440 width, per CF-701's width rule) | DET | HIGH if violated |
+| CF-704 | Hover/drag-only actions expose a discrete alternate control | Any action reachable only by hover, drag, or long-press also has a tap/keyboard-reachable equivalent | DET (stylesheet scan), else JUDG | HIGH (auto-HIGH: pointer-only-reachable control) |
+| CF-801 | Verb-first, plain-word action labels | A button/action label leads with a verb and avoids jargon | JUDG | LOW–MEDIUM |
+| CF-802 | Tone calibrated by stakes | Warm for success/onboarding/empty; neutral for routine/settings; calm for errors/destructive; serious for data-loss/security | JUDG | checklist item |
+| CF-803 | Errors name what happened and how to recover | A vague denylisted phrase with no further detail fails | DET assist + JUDG | MEDIUM |
+| CF-804 | One capitalization policy | Sentence case throughout, or a documented exception list | DET | LOW |
+| CF-805 | Toggle labels state the ON condition | A setting label describes what turns on, not a bare noun | JUDG | checklist item |
+| CF-806 | Placeholders are examples, never the only label | A real <label>/aria-label exists beside any placeholder; no bracket-instruction placeholder text | DET | MEDIUM (label-only-via-placeholder is also an accessibility escalation) |
+| CF-807 | Placeholder contrast meets the same floor | ≥4.5:1 against the field's own background (cross-ref CF-201) | DET where the pseudo-element style is inspectable, else not_verified | MEDIUM |
+| RS-001 | Canonical probe viewport set | Base pass runs at exactly four widths: 320, 390, 768, 1440px, light scheme, motion enabled | DET | run completeness: a missing width sets exit 2 (§C.5, BLOCKED: matrix incomplete), never a HIGH finding |
+| RS-002 | 390px dark-mode pass | Re-run 390px with the dark colour scheme active (real toggle, not a filter) | DET | run completeness: an unrun dark pass sets exit 2 (§C.5), never a HIGH finding and never a silent pass; once the pass ran: MEDIUM when no dark path is found or it adds new HIGH contrast findings (those findings keep CF-201's own severity) |
+| RS-003 | Reduced-motion pass | One pass at minimum at 390px with prefers-reduced-motion: reduce forced | DET (query honoured), JUDG (meaning preserved) | HIGH if a control/state becomes unreachable |
+| RS-004 | 1440px at 200% zoom emulation | Re-run 1440px at an effective content width of ≈720 CSS px | DET | HIGH if the zoom pass shows page-level overflow (RS-006) or clipped text (RS-007) |
+| RS-005 | Content-derived breakpoints | A structural layout change (reflow/stack/collapse/reveal/defer/relocate/freeze) sits at the width real content first breaks, never an unexamined framework default | JUDG, DET-assisted (low-confidence advisory only — see note) | LOW, informational, alongside a finding rather than an equal-weight MEDIUM |
+| RS-006 | No page-level horizontal overflow | scrollWidth ≤ innerWidth + 8 at every RS width (the calibrated tolerance §C.2 and MD-011 #14 use; a clean reference overflows by 6px at 320 with no visible defect) (an intentional scroll region needs its own visible affordance, see RS-010) | DET | HIGH (auto-HIGH: page-level horizontal scroll) |
+| RS-007 | No unintentional clipped/overlapping text | Text is not cut by a clipping ancestor unless a deliberate line-clamp/text-overflow is declared — the declared property alone is a sufficient, self-contained exception and does not itself require a separate "show full text" affordance | DET | clipped or offscreen text: HIGH; overlapping text pairs: MEDIUM (§C.3's split; no probe can classify content as "primary" or "secondary/metadata") |
+| RS-008 | Mobile input font-size floor | Text-entry controls render ≥16px on a touch-primary width (≤768: 320, 390, 768 and the 720 zoom pass, per CF-701's width rule), or use a documented compensating-scale technique (which keeps a 16px computed font-size and so passes the same read) | DET | MEDIUM |
+| RS-009 | Safe-area-aware offsets | A control fixed to a physical edge adds env(safe-area-inset-*) rather than a bare fixed offset; nothing interactive sits under a notch/home-indicator region. Applies only when <meta name="viewport"> includes viewport-fit=cover (without it the UA keeps content inside the safe area and a bare offset is correct) | DET where the CSS is inspectable, else JUDG from a device screenshot | MEDIUM |
+| RS-010 | Horizontal-scroll peek | A scrollable rail with no other visible scroll cue (prev/next controls, pagination dots/tabs, a position counter) reveals 16–32px of the next off-screen item rather than ending flush | DET | LOW |
+| RS-011 | RTL pass gated by content | An RTL/bidi mirror check runs only when the brief's real content or shipped locales include an RTL script; logical CSS properties are used throughout so the gated pass is mostly a dir="rtl" toggle | JUDG (the gate), DET (the logical-property audit once gated in) | MEDIUM if a physical-direction property appears where the gate says RTL applies |
+| RS-012 | Re-check discipline across states | A finding recorded at one viewport/theme/zoom state is re-sampled at a second state before being reported as a stable pass | JUDG (procedural) | downgrades a lone-state pass to not_verified, not a hard fail |
