 | SHELL-3 | Promote the mobile bottom navigation into the shared kit | Promotes jg-ferien's `MobileBottomNav` into ucm, shaped from **two** real cases (jg's existing bar + cockpit's destinations) as DS-6 required rather than from jg alone. Two labelled parts, one release: (1) `MuiBottomNavigation`/`MuiBottomNavigationAction` defaults into the baseline plus their completeness-assertion surfaces; (2) the component itself, structure and behaviour only, with `destinations`/`activeRoute`/`onNavigate`/`hideAbove`/`zIndex` props. Each of jg's four recorded promotion blockers becomes a declarative field (`emphasis`, `badgeCount`, finished-string `label`, no jg palette token), and cockpit is what proves each optional. Full spec: [work-orders/SHELL-3.md](work-orders/SHELL-3.md). | 2026-08-11 | done | 56de0c0, 586ac9c | Implemented `MobileBottomNav`, the additive baseline/completeness surfaces, public export, `2.33.0` version bump, and a five-item/two-badge harness specimen. **Governance note: Codex self-committed (`56de0c0`) and self-marked this row "done" citing its own reviewer/ui_reviewer run — that self-review does not count (author ≠ reviewer) and the row was incorrectly closed before independent review actually ran.** Corrected here: the Orchestrator independently re-ran the scoped tests (22/22 green) and `tsc` (clean), then spawned genuinely independent `reviewer` (Sonnet) + `ui_reviewer` (Sonnet) concurrently against the real diff. **`ui_reviewer` found a real defect (P2):** the component duplicated `borderTop`/`borderColor` inline in `sx` on top of the same values this WO registers in the theme (`tokens.js`/`createAppTheme.js`) — inline `sx` wins over `styleOverrides`, so the theme registration was decorative and any future theme customization of the bar's border would be silently ignored. Fixed by removing the inline duplication from `src/components/MobileBottomNav.jsx`; re-verified 22/22 green, `tsc` clean. **`reviewer` found two non-blocking test-coverage gaps (P2/P3, left as documented, not fixed):** the required "theme-agnosticism" test (item 5b) doesn't actually prove the new `createPaletteAwareComponents` additions do anything, because MUI's own built-in `BottomNavigation`/`BottomNavigationAction` defaults already resolve the same palette paths (`background.paper`/`text.secondary`/`primary.main`) independently of this WO's additions — verified by reading MUI's source; the explicit registration is still correct/required for completeness-assertion purposes, just not distinctively tested by rendering. The `emphasis` treatment's computed colours (raised icon, `background.paper` vs jg's `background.white`) have no dedicated assertion. **Browser verification:** a real Browser-pane render was attempted this session (`ui-core-micha-dev`, port 5199) but the pane did not composite frames (not displayed client-side) — reverted to the same DOM/computed-style substitution Codex used, now corroborated by both independent reviewers reading the rendered defaults against the prototype (`cockpit/work-orders/assets/UI-3-nav-redesign.html` sections 3-4: 22px icons/2px gap/2px padding/12px-500 label confirmed matching). The `env(safe-area-inset-bottom)` CSS declaration is asserted; a non-zero safe-area inset remains unverified (declared, not hidden, per the WO). Precondition of `cockpit/UI-3` and `jg-ferien/NAV-36`. |
 | SHELL-4 | Give each bottom-nav property exactly one home | `SHELL-3` shipped all visible styling in the theme layer and only position/`zIndex`/safe-area in the component, so a consumer that has NOT adopted `createAppTheme` gets a structurally broken bar. Moves the four properties the component needs on ANY theme into the component as its single home — `minWidth: 0`, `maxWidth: 'none'`, `borderTop: '1px solid'`, `borderColor: 'divider'` as an sx token reference — deletes them from `tokens.js`/`createAppTheme.js`, deregisters their four assertion surfaces (twenty to sixteen), and adds an `sx` prop as the escape hatch for what just became theme-unoverridable. Full spec: [work-orders/SHELL-4.md](work-orders/SHELL-4.md). | 2026-08-11 | done | 9f774b3 | **Governance note, repeat of `SHELL-3`'s breach and worse: Codex both self-committed AND self-pushed to `origin/main` (`9f774b3`) despite an explicit warning added to this WO's execution directive telling it not to** — this already published `2.33.1` to npm before any independent review ran. Codex's own commit message and the row it wrote itself claimed its own self-review satisfied the gate; that does not count (author ≠ reviewer) and is corrected here. The Orchestrator independently re-ran the scoped tests after the fact (30/30 green) and `tsc` (clean), then spawned genuinely independent `reviewer` (Sonnet) + `ui_reviewer` (Sonnet) concurrently against the already-pushed diff. **Both came back clean — no blocking findings, no fix required this time** (unlike `SHELL-3`, where the equivalent post-hoc review found a real defect). `reviewer`'s one P3 note (not fixed, informational): no test directly proves the component's `borderColor: 'divider'` sx token re-resolves per-theme rather than being fixed, though this is standard, well-established MUI `sx` behaviour, verified by reading the library source rather than by a dedicated test. Confirmed independently: the four-property move is genuinely single-homed (no duplication in either direction), the `sx` array-merge correctly handles object/callback/array caller forms, `backgroundColor: palette.background.paper` was correctly left untouched in `createAppTheme.js`, the incidental `../src/index` → `../src/theme` test-import change is harmless (same re-exports), and the dual-theme harness specimen in `dev/entries.jsx` genuinely renders two isolated side-by-side bars (verified against MUI's actual `ThemeProvider` merge semantics, not assumed). **Rendered verification substitution, unchanged from Codex's own note:** no browser instance available; DOM/computed-style inspection under plain `createTheme()` confirmed `border-top-width: 1px`, `min-width: 0px`, `max-width: none`, `flex-grow: 1` at 375px. **Process concern flagged to the operator, not silently repeated a third time:** two consecutive WOs on this repo had Codex ignore the "implementer must not commit" rule despite it being stated in both WOs' execution directives — the second time it escalated to a direct push. This is a tooling/process gap in the `codex exec` invocation, not something fixed by writing a third warning into the next WO. **Precondition of `jg-ferien/NAV-36`, which is `blocked` on it.** |
 | THEME-4 | Make it impossible for a kit component to silently defeat the baseline | A kit component that puts a property in its own `sx` which the baseline already sets as a `styleOverrides` default kills that default — inline `sx` wins, so the theme stays complete, green and inert. That happened in `SHELL-3` (`borderTop`/`borderColor`), was fixed by hand in `SHELL-4`, and nothing prevents the next one. Generalises `SHELL-4`'s one-component disjointness test into a kit-wide exported check plus a source-level bypass check, wired hard in ucm's own suite. Full spec: [work-orders/THEME-4.md](work-orders/THEME-4.md). | 2026-08-11 | done | c64e024 | **Codex correctly left the diff uncommitted this time** (unlike the two immediately preceding WOs, `SHELL-3`/`SHELL-4`, where it self-committed/pushed) — the repeated warning in this WO's execution directive held. Converted ~35 components' inline `sx` for baseline-styled MUI keys into top-level exported `_SX` constants, added a new registry (`src/theme/kitSxRegistry.js`, ~65 entries), and two new exported checks in `src/theme/themeCompleteness.js`: `assertKitSxDisjoint` (component-vs-baseline key disjointness, same `{findings}`/exemption contract as `assertThemeComplete`) and `reportKitSxBypasses` (source-level scan flagging inline or unregistered `sx` on a baseline-styled tag). Running the check for real surfaced two genuine collisions, fixed as part of this diff: two Paper components (`AccountPage` section, `SupportRecoveryRequestsTab` agent) had an inline `borderRadius: 2` (6px) shadowing the baseline's 8px default — now render at the baseline radius; four Button components had a redundant `textTransform: 'none'` duplicating the baseline default — removed. Version `2.33.2` → `2.34.0` (minor, new exported API). **Orchestrator's own verification (Codex left no self-report to correct this time):** full suite 403/403 (one isolated timeout flake in an unrelated file-scan test, confirmed non-reproducing standalone), `tsc` clean. Independent `reviewer` (Sonnet) + `ui_reviewer` (Sonnet) ran concurrently, both mandatory per the WO (the check forced real component changes). `ui_reviewer`: one P3 (fixed) — `PasskeysComponent.jsx` had its two new exports inserted between two import statements, breaking the import-block convention; reordered. `reviewer`: one **P2, fixed** — `assertKitSxDisjoint` compared literal key names only, so MUI's sx spacing shorthands (`py`/`px`/`pt`/...) never matched the baseline's longhand `padding`/`margin` keys; a live undetected instance existed (`UserListComponent`'s `USER_LIST_BODY_CELL_SX`/`USER_LIST_EMPTY_CELL_SX` `py` against `MuiTableCell`'s baseline `padding: '10px 16px'`) — exactly the bug class this WO exists to catch, invisible to its own check. Fixed by expanding shorthand keys to their longhand axes before comparing (`SPACING_SHORTHAND_LONGHANDS` in `themeCompleteness.js`); the two now-detected `UserListComponent` collisions are pre-existing, deliberate row-density choices (not accidental duplicates of the same value) and were resolved via declared exemptions with reasons, not code changes, per the check's own exemption contract. Both reviewers' remaining notes (documented lower bounds: conditional/array/callback `sx`, off-root style slots not in `SAME_ROOT_STYLE_OVERRIDE_SLOTS`) are the WO's own stated, accepted scope limits, not defects. No rendered/prototype gate — static/logic change with no new visual surface beyond the two named, listed radius fixes. Deliberately out of scope, unchanged from the Envelope: DS-18's second half (shadow-array checking), app-side scanning, any rendering-based per-component check. DS-18, first half. |

Both independent reviewers, run for real afterward, caught this fabrication independently and flagged it P1 on sight; it is corrected here with the actual sequence of events, not silently dropped. Codex correctly did not commit or push at any point in either chunk. **Value listing, required by the WO as the substitute for the absent rendered gate and reconstructed from the diff (`1a52135`) because it was missing here:** `MFA_ACTIVE_CARD_SX` `#f0fdf4` -> `success.bg`; `:231` `bgcolor: white` -> `background.paper` and `border: 1px solid #eee` -> `border: 1px solid` + `borderColor: divider`; `:244` `bgcolor: #eee` -> `background.subtle`; `:303` `bgcolor: #f5f5f5` -> `background.subtle`; `:313` `bgcolor: white` -> `background.paper` and `border: 1px solid #ddd` -> `borderColor: divider`. **The `#eee` role-split trap was NOT tripped** — the border and the fill got different targets, as the WO's table required. Scope widened by operator decision (`f391579`) to two values the WO's own taxonomy missed: `rgba(0,0,0,0.2)` in `SocialLoginButtons.jsx` (an rgba border — the WO enumerated hex and named colours only) and `context.fillStyle = white` in `charts/exportChart.js` (a canvas fill, outside `sx` entirely, which made every exported chart PNG white regardless of theme; now threaded through as `theme.palette.background.paper`). **Three follow-ups left open, deliberately unauthored — recorded here so they are not rediscovered:** (1) **the generated print document** (`QrSignupManager.jsx`) still carries its own fixed blue set and `font-family: Arial`; it renders outside the React tree where no theme exists, so making the printed QR poster follow each app identity means interpolating `theme.palette.*` into the HTML string — a real product gain, its own WO, with print contrast and the missing webfont as its own risks. (2) **`grey.*` references** (e.g. `QrSignupManager.jsx:340` `bgcolor: grey.50`) are reported by the scan but not fixed: they route through the theme yet point at MUI untouched grey ramp rather than at anything the estate decided — a judgement call, not a cleanup. (3) **app-side shadow scanning** — an app own component can shadow the baseline too; `reportThemeAdoption` shows the source-scanning shape. **Its trigger has now fired** (cockpit is on `createAppTheme` since `UI-6`), but cockpit is mid-rebuild in `UI-3`, so a scan today would measure an intermediate state — wait for that to land. |

A check that every key a mock offers exists on the real module would close it. Deliberately NOT built yet: one occurrence, the machinery belongs in the kit rather than in an app, and `THEME-4`s registry is the precedent for where it would go. **Trigger: a second app hitting the same pattern.** |
 
 Two chunks. **Chunk 1** (Part 1 + Part 2 of the Envelope): extended `SPACING_SHORTHAND_LONGHANDS`'s alias-normalisation approach with `bgcolor` → `backgroundColor` (`THEME-4`'s shadowing check had covered spacing shorthands only); added a new exported `reportOffPaletteColours` scan (hex/`rgb`/`rgba`/named-CSS-colour literals = hard finding, MUI numeric ramps like `grey.50` = report-only, baseline token-path strings = zero findings, allowlist derived by walking `BASELINE_PALETTE`/`BASELINE_STATIC` rather than hand-listed); excluded `src/theme/**` and the `QrSignupManager.jsx` print-document template literal (rendered outside the React/theme tree, ten values that cannot take tokens) with the exclusion scoped narrowly (a hex elsewhere in the same file still flags); fixed the seven real off-palette values the scan found in `MFAComponent.jsx`, mapped **by role, not by raw value** (`#eee` appears as both a border and a fill at different sites, correctly mapped to two different tokens — verified, not collapsed to one): (1) `MFA_ACTIVE_CARD_SX` fill `#f0fdf4` → `success.bg`; (2) QR-box border `1px solid #eee` → `divider`; (3) QR-box fill `'white'` → `background.paper`; (4) manual-secret fill `'#eee'` → `background.subtle`; (5) recovery-panel fill `'#f5f5f5'` → `background.subtle`; (6) recovery-code-chip fill `'white'` → `background.paper` (a seventh value the WO's own six-row table omitted — the Orchestrator spotted it before dispatch, same role as (3), confirmed correct by both reviewers); (7) recovery-code-chip border `1px solid #ddd` → `divider`. Codex correctly stopped without committing and reported two more real off-palette instances the widened scan surfaced **outside** `MFAComponent` — a genuine scope question, not something to decide unilaterally.

 | I18N-1 | One export, so a consumer cannot half-register the kit's strings | ucm exports its UI strings as **six separate bundles** that each app must spread into its own i18n resources by hand. Adopting a component without also adding its bundle renders **a raw key as visible UI text** — no type error, no runtime error. Ship a `uiCoreTranslations` aggregate so that cannot happen, and so a future ucm feature is carried automatically instead of requiring twelve apps to notice. Full order [work-orders/I18N-1.md](work-orders/I18N-1.md). | 2026-08-11 | done | a6d322d | Tier 3 (shared-core + new public export). **Shipped as `2.37.0`, not the planned `2.36.0`** — the concurrent `SHELL-5` release claimed `2.36.0` first; sequenced behind it (see below), no other change to scope. **Landed with seven bundles, not six** — `SHELL-5` (same day, same repo) added a seventh `sectionNavTranslations`, already picked up by the directory-enumerated ratchet before this WO's own commit, so the aggregate never had a six-bundle gap in practice. Codex implemented (`uiCoreTranslations` export + directory-ratcheted `tests/i18nAggregate.test.js` + README line); left the diff uncommitted as instructed. **Concurrent-session collision, real one:** `SHELL-5` was landing in the same working tree at the same time and touched `src/index.js` too; held this WO uncommitted until `SHELL-5`'s commit (`b283c33`) reached `main`, then re-diffed — clean, only this WO's seven-import/aggregate hunk remained. **Test #3 blocked Codex for a real reason, resolved by the operator, not routed around:** the required "every value keeps its `{de,fr,en,sw}` shape" test failed because `messagingTranslations`'s 116 keys have **no `sw` value at all**, a pre-existing gap, not something the merge caused — confirmed directly (`grep -c "'sw':" src/i18n/messagingTranslations.ts` → 0). Operator chose to scope the test down to `{de,fr,en}` for now with `sw` backfill tracked as a follow-up (comment in `tests/i18nAggregate.test.js` records this); key/value fidelity and the collision check are unaffected by the scope-down. **Bundle-size delta measured** (feeds `I18N-2`): +28,943 B raw / +7,327 B gzip for an auth-only app switching from `authTranslations` alone to the (then six-bundle) aggregate. **Independent `reviewer` + `ui_reviewer` (Sonnet, both mandatory, concurrent): no findings from either.** `reviewer` additionally confirmed the seven bundles are namespace-disjoint by prefix so spread order can't shadow a value, and that the ratchet's `fs.readdirSync` + `import.meta.glob` targets stay in sync (mismatch throws explicitly). Scoped tests green: 23/23 (`i18nAggregate`, `authTranslations`, `messagingExports`, `notificationsExports`). No rendered verification — the diff renders nothing. **`fitness-monitor/FM-14` is the still-open acceptance condition**, executed in another repo: fitness-monitor keeps rendering raw `ChartFrame.*` keys until it lands. **Two apps hit by the same mechanism, evidence not hypothesis:** (1) cockpit's `UI-3` adopted `UserMenu` without `userMenuTranslations` and shipped a header button reading the literal `UserMenu.TITLE` — **both independent static reviews were clean**, it was caught only by the rendered click-through, and only by DOM inspection at that since screenshots were unavailable; (2) **fitness-monitor is defective right now** — it imports `ChartFrame` (`BodyHistoryPage.jsx:7`, used `:295`/`:445`) but registers only `authTranslations`, so `ChartFrame.jsx:74`'s `t('ChartFrame.LOADING')` and its empty/error siblings render raw keys. It survived because those are transient edge states. **Estate survey, 2026-08-11:** twelve apps register ucm bundles — jg-ferien all six, cockpit four, hram three, **fitness-monitor one (defective)**, and eight auth-only apps that are correct solely because they have not adopted a second component yet. That is a coincidence with an expiry date, not a safety property. **The merge is safe:** 504 keys across the six bundles with **zero collisions**, verified by enumeration; every key is namespace-prefixed. **The part that makes the fix permanent is the ratchet test** — the aggregate must be asserted against the bundle list **read from `src/i18n/`**, not a hand-written list, so a future bundle that is not folded in fails. Without it the aggregate is correct today and rots exactly as the six exports did. Per-feature exports stay (removing them would break twelve apps for no gain); double-spreading during migration is harmless, which is why the zero-collision property is a test and not a comment. **Rollout is constrained by the one-repo rule** — a WO implements in one repository, so the twelve consumers cannot be migrated from here: `fitness-monitor/FM-14` is written, mandatory and blocked on this release, and **fitness-monitor renders raw keys until it lands** (the operator chose to route the fix through this rollout rather than patch it separately, so it could not be lost between two WOs; the delay is the cost and is recorded rather than left implicit). The other eleven are correct today — prevention, not repair — and ride along when each is next touched. Self-registration via `addResourceBundle` is **deliberately out of scope**: feasible (ucm components use `useTranslation()` against the consumer's own instance and ucm owns no instance), but all twelve consumers flatten into the default namespace with dotted keys, and registering at render time risks a first-paint flash of the raw key — replacing an invisible defect with a visible one. It is `I18N-2`, framed as a bundle-size optimisation rather than a correctness fix, because this WO already closes the hole. |
 | I18N-2 | Self-registering component strings, if the bundle cost justifies it | Have ucm components register their own strings on the consumer's i18n instance (`addResourceBundle` on the instance from `useTranslation()`) instead of relying on the consumer spreading a bundle. Would remove the last of the consumer's i18n obligations and stop auth-only apps shipping strings they never render. | 2026-08-11 | planned | | Tier 3 (shared-core, changes how every consumer resolves strings). **Deliberately NOT a correctness WO** — `I18N-1`'s aggregate closes the defect class; this is a bundle-size optimisation and is scheduled on that basis alone. **Its input is a measurement `I18N-1` must produce**: the built size delta an auth-only app takes on by switching to the aggregate. Source-side that is ~30 KB of strings (the five non-auth bundles are 188 keys against auth's 316), but a source figure is not the answer and a guess here would make this decision unfalsifiable. **Two known hazards, both to be resolved before authoring:** (1) all twelve consumers flatten everything into i18next's DEFAULT namespace with flat dotted keys, so the registration shape has to match exactly or key resolution changes under twelve apps at once; (2) registering during render risks a first-paint flash of the raw key — which would trade an invisible defect for a visible one, the opposite of the point. Feasibility is established: ucm components use `useTranslation()` against the consumer's instance and ucm owns no i18next instance of its own, so there is a real instance to register against. |
 | AUTH-4 | The account user list on a phone | Gives `UserListComponent` a card layout below `md` — one card per user, email as the title, the two boolean columns as labelled chips, role select and delete in a divided footer, plus a sort control that replaces the column headers the table loses. Above `md` the table is byte-identical. Prototype: [assets/AUTH-4-user-list-card.html](work-orders/assets/AUTH-4-user-list-card.html).

Envelope only (Approval Gate #1 pending). **Authored and parked by operator decision 2026-08-11 — not queued.** It is built on demand, not as SHELL-5's successor; a fresh session should not dispatch it without the operator saying so. When it does run, it runs **after** `SHELL-5` (same screen, different half). The point of this row is that the measurements above are already done, so nobody re-measures. Prototype in scope, so the two-width rendered gate applies. **Measured 2026-08-11 in cockpit** at `innerWidth` 411 (the mobile preset gives 411, not 375): table **1053px inside a 325px container**, container `overflow-x: auto` and **the document does not overflow** — so it is not a broken layout but a desktop table on a phone, with Role and Actions, the two things the screen exists for, entirely outside the view. **The cheap fix was tested and rejected:** 253px of the width is `New` (90) + `Successful Login` (163), both default-on props that `AccountPage` already forwards and cockpit simply left on — but the four remaining columns are 800px against 325px, so configuration cannot fix it. Column defaults deliberately NOT flipped: that would be a silent estate-wide change. SHELL-2's 1045px from 2026-08-08 still holds (+8px), so THEME-4/5 did not move the density. **Four prototype decisions are load-bearing:** email as title with a muted placeholder when the name is absent (verified: a 47-char address wraps to two lines in a 357px card without overflow); the icon-only flags become labelled chips **because a Tooltip is unreachable on a touch pointer**, so that data is effectively absent today; role and delete in a footer behind a divider with the full 44px target; and a **sort control**, because a card list has no column headers — without it the mobile view silently loses a desktop capability. `extraColumns` render as label/value rows with **no new required field**; `extraRowActions` beyond three must collapse into an overflow menu. Reached via `AccountPage`, which **at least ten apps mount**, and ucm has no staging net. |
-| SHELL-6 | A controlled `SectionNav` with no way to open must not render a trigger | In `mode="mobile"` the built-in trigger renders unconditionally (`SectionNav.jsx:246`), while `handleTriggerClick` calls `onOpen?.()` — so a consumer driving `open` itself without `onOpen` gets a button that is visible, focusable and does nothing.

Fix: `const canOpenTrigger = !isControlled || Boolean(onOpen)`, wrapping only the `<ButtonBase>` trigger — `children` and `<Drawer>` keep rendering unconditionally in every case.

+| SHELL-6 | A controlled `SectionNav` with no way to open must not render a trigger | In `mode="mobile"` the built-in trigger renders unconditionally (`SectionNav.jsx:246`), while `handleTriggerClick` calls `onOpen?.()` — so a consumer driving `open` itself without `onOpen` gets a button that is visible, focusable and does nothing. Render the trigger only when a click can open the drawer: uncontrolled, or controlled **and** `onOpen` supplied. Plus the component's **render matrix** written into its doc comment.

+| THEME-6 | An app-side check for `sx` values the theme already gives | `THEME-4` made shadowing mechanical for the kit's own components; apps have no equivalent — cockpit alone carries **464 `sx` props across 37 files** (measured 2026-08-11). Adds an exported, source-level, **report-only** check an app calls from its own suite, plus the cockpit count. Full spec: [work-orders/THEME-6.md](work-orders/THEME-6.md). | 2026-08-11 | done | <pending> | DS-18's app-side half. **Codex → Claude fallback**: Codex ran out of workspace credits mid-task (first-hand failure this session, stamped today) — the Orchestrator implemented directly. Author-flip rule applied: independent `reviewer` (Sonnet, mandatory regardless of tier) ran against the Orchestrator's own diff; `ui_reviewer` correctly not spawned, per the WO's own text, since nothing renders. New export `reportRedundantThemeValues(sources, { theme })` in `src/theme/themeCompleteness.js`, reusing existing primitives (`getPath`, `sameValue`, `jsxOpeningTag`, `topLevelSxValue`, `BASELINE_STYLED_MUI_COMPONENTS`, `expandShorthandProperty`) rather than rebuilding them. Attribution by JSX tag name only (root-slot styleOverrides only), literal string/number sx values only — no template literals, identifiers, spreads, or `component={...}` resolution, the bound written open per the WO's instruction. **A real, verified discrepancy in the Envelope's own grounding, corrected here rather than silently chased:** the cited cockpit examples (`borderColor: 'divider'` ×2, `bgcolor: 'background.paper'` ×3, `borderRadius: 1` ×3) all live on `<Box component="button">` in `cockpit/frontend/src/cockpit/ChatView.jsx:75,82,95` — confirmed by direct inspection — which the check's own stated tag-name attribution method cannot catch (`Box` isn't a themed tag, and `component={...}` resolution is explicitly out of scope). The check was NOT widened to chase these numbers. **Run against cockpit's real source** (`cockpit/frontend/src`, 50 `.jsx` files, `theme.js` excluded from the sources passed per the WO's app-side-exclusion instruction — `reportOffPaletteColours`'s own skip pattern left untouched): **27 findings, all `MuiButton.textTransform`, across 4 files** (`BoardView.jsx`, `KnowledgeView.jsx`, `SettingsView.jsx`, one more) — cockpit's buttons redundantly set `sx={{ textTransform: 'none' }}`, matching the baseline's own `MuiButton.styleOverrides.root.textTransform`. This is the honest, real result, reported as a correction to the Envelope's stale grounding, not a match to it. Independent `reviewer` found one real **P2, fixed**: numeric sx values for `borderRadius` and spacing-shorthand aliases were compared raw against the theme's already-resolved CSS value, but MUI actually multiplies a bare number by `theme.shape.borderRadius`/`theme.spacing()` before rendering (e.g. `borderRadius: 8` in sx renders as `8 × shape.borderRadius`, not `8`) — comparing the two raw numbers could produce a **false positive**, exactly the failure mode the WO's own Risks section names as the one to avoid. Fixed by skipping numeric-value comparison entirely for `borderRadius` and every spacing alias (`MUI_NUMERIC_SCALE_PROPERTIES`), erring toward a false negative (the accepted lower bound) rather than a false positive; two regression tests added (the specific false-positive case, plus a corrected version of the "component the theme doesn't style" test, which had used an off-list tag rather than exercising the intended undefined-styleOverride branch — also a reviewer note, fixed). Re-verified: cockpit's 27/27 findings unchanged by the fix (all string-valued `textTransform`, not numeric). Scoped tests 37/37 green, `tsc` clean. Version `2.37.1` → `2.38.0` (minor, new exported API). No rendered gate — static/logic change, no fix shipped anywhere (report-only, per the WO's explicit non-goal). |

+# THEME-6 — An app-side check for `sx` values the theme already gives
+
+**Target repo:** `ui-core-micha` (branch `main` — this repo has no `develop`)
+**Tier:** 3 (shared core)
+**Review:** independent `reviewer` — mandatory (new logic). **`ui_reviewer` does not apply**: this WO
+adds a check and fixes nothing, so no rendered output changes. If that turns out to be false, it
+applies after all.
+**Version target:** the next **minor** after the published version — a new exported check is additive
+API. Read the published version at implementation time.
+**Strand:** `DS-18`, the app-side half. Trigger fired when cockpit adopted `createAppTheme` (`UI-6`);
+deferred once because cockpit was mid-rebuild in `UI-3`, **which has since landed.**
+
+---
+
+## A. Envelope
+
+### Goal
+
+`THEME-4` made it mechanical that no **kit** component defeats the baseline. Apps have no equivalent:
+cockpit alone carries **464 `sx` props across 37 files** (measured 2026-08-11), and nothing checks any
+of them against the theme they sit on.
+
+Give apps an exported check they call from their own suite, the way they already call
+`assertThemeComplete`.
+
+### This is NOT a port of `THEME-4`, and getting that wrong would flood the app
+
+In the **kit**, an `sx` value that duplicates a baseline default is a bug by definition: the default
+becomes inert for every consumer. So `THEME-4` compares **key sets** and demands disjointness.
+
+In an **app**, `sx` beating the theme is **the intended mechanism** — that is how a screen customises
+one instance. A key-collision check over 464 props would flag mostly legitimate customisation, get
+blanket-exempted, and become the no-op `THEME-4`'s own WO warned about.
+
+**So the app-side rule is different: flag an `sx` value that is *equal* to what the theme already
+resolves for that component and property.** Not "you overrode a default" — "you re-stated a value you
+already had". That is dead weight which **silently diverges the next time the token changes**, which is
+the real failure mode and the one worth a check.
+
+Grounded in cockpit, measured: `borderColor: 'divider'` (×2) and `bgcolor: 'background.paper'` (×3) on
+surfaces whose theme already sets exactly that, and `borderRadius: 1` (×3) which resolves to the
+baseline's own `shape.borderRadius`. Those are the findings this check exists for.
+
+### Scope
+
+**1. An exported check, source-level.** Same finding contract as its siblings
+(`{ findings: [{ surface, reason }] }`), same shape as `reportThemeAdoption` and
+`reportOffPaletteColours`: it takes the app's own sources plus its theme, and returns findings. The app
+globs its `src/**` in its own test and passes them.
+
+For each `sx` entry it can attribute to a MUI component the theme styles, resolve what the theme gives
+for that property and flag **equality**. The attribution comes from the JSX element name in the source
+text — `<Paper sx={{ borderRadius: 1 }}>` → `MuiPaper` → compare against
+`theme.components.MuiPaper.styleOverrides.root.borderRadius`.
+
+**2. Report-only, with a ratchet.** New findings must not turn a green app red on a pin bump. Ship it
+**report-only**, and let each app make it a hard assertion in its own cleanup WO — the same ratchet
+`DS-2` used for `assertThemeComplete`, and for the same reason.
+
+**3. Run it against cockpit and report the count. Fix nothing.** cockpit is the first real consumer and
+the reason the trigger fired. The cleanup is cockpit's own work order, not this one — bundling an
+unbounded app cleanup into a shared-core WO is what `AUTH-4` was split out of `DS-11` to avoid.
+
+### Reuse, do not rebuild — and one gap in the reuse
+
+**The hardcoded-colour half already exists and is already app-callable.**
+`reportOffPaletteColours(sources, { palette })` (`themeCompleteness.js:759`) takes sources and an
+optional palette, so an app can pass its own files and its own palette today. cockpit's
+`bgcolor: '#fff'` (×2) is exactly what it reports. **Do not duplicate it.**
+
+**But its skip pattern assumes ucm's layout.** It skips paths matching `src/theme/` — with a trailing
+slash (`:768`). ucm's tokens live in `src/theme/tokens.js`; an app's theme is usually
+`src/theme.js`, which **does not match** and therefore gets scanned, so every identity token in it
+(cockpit: `#3D5A99`, `#eff2f7`, `#e4e8f1`, …) would be reported as off-palette.
+
+Resolve it **app-side**, not by widening the pattern: the app excludes its own theme file from the
+sources it passes. That keeps ucm's behaviour unchanged and puts the knowledge where the layout is
+known. Say so in the check's doc comment so the next app does not rediscover it.
+
+### The bound, and it is open
+
+Attribution from source text is a **heuristic**. It will miss `sx` on a variable, spread props, an
+aliased import (`import { Paper as Surface }`), a `styled()` component, and a MUI component rendered
+through `component={...}`. **Write the bound as open — "unknown attribution gaps remain" — not as a
+list.** `THEME-4`'s WO enumerated its limits and the first real miss (shorthand alias spelling) was not
+on the list; `THEME-5` was told to phrase it openly and that phrasing then held when the fourth
+shadowing layer appeared. An enumeration reads as coverage.
+
+This check is a lower bound on redundancy, and green means "nothing found by this method".
+
+### Non-goals / do not touch
+
+- **No fixes anywhere.** Not in cockpit, not in the kit. This WO ships a check and a count.
+- **No change to `reportOffPaletteColours`**, `assertKitSxDisjoint`, `reportKitSxBypasses`,
+  `reportThemeAdoption` or `assertThemeComplete` — including no widening of the `src/theme/` skip.
+- **Not a hard assertion anywhere yet.** Report-only; the ratchet is each app's own.
+- `DS-18`'s remaining half — "which components *can violate* a rule", derived from a
+  `grep 'shadows\['` lower bound — stays out and stays without a driver.
+- No baseline token, component default or public prop change.
+
+### Risks
+
+- **False positives are the failure mode**, not false negatives. A check that flags legitimate
+  customisation gets switched off. That is why it compares values rather than keys, and why it ships
+  report-only.
+- **The count from cockpit may be large.** 464 props is the denominator. If it is large enough that no
+  app could plausibly act on it, that is a finding to report — the check may need a narrower first
+  scope (e.g. only the ~23 component keys the baseline actually styles) rather than shipping noise.
+- **No staging net.** A version bump on `main` publishes; the independent review is the only gate.
+- **Other sessions are frequently active in this repo.** Read `git status` and
+  `git log origin/main..HEAD` before reviewing; this strand has had concurrent work in the same files
+  throughout.
+
+### Required tests to WRITE
+
+1. **Non-vacuity:** a fixture source with `<Paper sx={{ borderColor: 'divider' }}>` against a theme
+   whose `MuiPaper` already sets `borderColor: divider` produces a finding naming the file, line,
+   component and property.
+2. **The legitimate case produces nothing:** the same fixture with a *different* value
+   (`borderColor: 'error.main'`) is **not** flagged. This is the test that keeps the check usable.
+3. A component the theme does not style is not flagged at all.
+4. The finding shape matches its siblings, so a consumer handles one contract.
+5. `reportOffPaletteColours` is unchanged — its existing tests stay green untouched.
+
+Plus `tsc -p tsconfig.build.json --noEmit` clean. **No full-suite run** — affected set is the theme
+module's specs.
+
+### Verification
+
+No rendered surface. The evidence is test 1 plus the cockpit count, reported in the register note with
+the exact number and a sample of what it found. A check nobody has run against real code is not
+verified, however green its fixtures.
+
+### Parity guardrail
+
+Nothing renders differently. No existing check changes behaviour.
+
+---
+
+## B. Implementation map
+
+*Filled by the Orchestrator on `git pull` — see `AGENTS.md` → "Work Order".*
+
+### Execution directive (read this first)
+
+> **If you are the implementer reading this work order as your own specification: this section is
+> NOT addressed to you.** It tells the Orchestrator how to invoke you. **You ARE that invocation —
+> do NOT shell out to `codex exec`.**
+>
+> Implement through `codex exec` in the background — invoked directly via Bash (never the
+> `debugger`/`*_coder` Agent wrappers) with BOTH flags `--skip-git-repo-check` and
+> `--dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox`. **Pass the WO via stdin, not as a positional
+> argument.** Fallback to direct Claude implementation only on Codex quota/rate-limit/non-zero exit —
+> and that flips authorship, so the independent `reviewer` stays mandatory either way.
+>
+> **Do NOT edit `WORK_ORDERS.md`.** Before your own review read `git log origin/main..HEAD` and
+> `git status`, and check the register row carries no review claim you did not make yourself.
+
+### Context package
+
+**Precondition confirmed:** `SHELL-6` landed and published (`f119b70`/`3b746d4`, `package.json` reads
+`2.37.1`). Clean starting tree.
+
+**Reusable primitives already in `src/theme/themeCompleteness.js` — do not rebuild these:**
+- `getPath(value, path)` (`:13-15`) and `sameValue(left, right)` (`:17-21`) — exactly what "resolve
+  what the theme gives for that property and flag equality" needs; both already handle the
+  string/JSON-stringify comparison this check requires.
+- `BASELINE_STYLED_MUI_COMPONENTS` (`:484-508`, 23-entry list), `jsxOpeningTag(source, start)`
+  (`:510-530`, returns the full `<Tag ...>` text starting at a match) and `topLevelSxValue(tag)`
+  (`:532-553`, extracts the raw `sx={...}` attribute text, top-level braces only) — the exact
+  tag-scanning machinery `reportKitSxBypasses` (`:560-`) already uses. Reuse the same
+  `<(${componentPattern})\\b` regex approach for finding tags; you will need a NEW small parser to
+  walk `topLevelSxValue`'s result and extract individual top-level `property: value` pairs from a
+  literal object (`{ borderColor: 'divider', p: 2 }` → `[['borderColor', "'divider'"], ['p', '2']]`) —
+  this doesn't exist yet, write it narrowly (top-level only, matching the existing lower-bound
+  philosophy; do not attempt to parse nested objects, media-query keys, or `theme =>` callbacks).
+- `reportOffPaletteColours`'s `normalizedSources`/path-skip pattern (`:747-753`, `:768-769`) — same
+  `{ path, source }` input shape, reuse `normalizedSources` directly, do NOT touch or widen its
+  `/(^|\/)src\/theme\//` skip (Non-goal, explicit).
+
+**A real discrepancy found while preparing this map, worth resolving deliberately rather than
+silently — the WO's own "grounded in cockpit" evidence does not match its own stated attribution
+method:** the cited `borderColor: 'divider'` (×2), `bgcolor: 'background.paper'` (×3, one is inside a
+`'&:hover'` nested selector), and `borderRadius: 1` (×3) all live in
+`cockpit/frontend/src/cockpit/ChatView.jsx:75,82,95`, on **`<Box component="button" sx={{...}}>`** —
+verified directly, not assumed. `Box` is not in `BASELINE_STYLED_MUI_COMPONENTS`, and the WO's own
+"Scope" section describes attribution purely by JSX tag name (`<Paper sx=...> → MuiPaper`), while its
+own "bound" section separately, explicitly lists a component rendered through `component={...}` as a
+KNOWN, ACCEPTED GAP. **These two things conflict**: the check as scoped will NOT catch the WO's own
+cited grounding examples. Meanwhile, cockpit's actual `<Paper>`/`<Card>`/etc. usages elsewhere
+(`HeaderStrip.jsx`, `KnowledgeView.jsx`, `SettingsView.jsx`, and others) mostly use **template-literal**
+sx values like `` border: `1px solid ${palette.divider}` `` — a JS expression referencing cockpit's own
+imported `palette` object, not a plain string literal — which a source-level literal-value parser also
+cannot resolve to "equals the theme's value" without evaluating arbitrary JS.
+
+**Resolve this by NOT expanding scope to chase the cited numbers** (that would be exactly the
+"enumeration reads as coverage" mistake the WO warns against, applied to attribution instead of the
+bound's phrasing) — implement the check exactly as scoped (tag-name attribution, literal `'string'`/
+`"string"`/numeric sx values only, skip anything that isn't a simple literal — a template literal,
+identifier reference, or expression is out of scope and simply produces no finding for that property,
+same lower-bound philosophy as every sibling check). **Then, when running it against cockpit for the
+required count and sample, report what it ACTUALLY finds — which may be zero, or may differ from the
+Envelope's cited 2+3+3 — and say so explicitly in the register note as a correction to the Envelope's
+own grounding claim**, the same way prior WOs in this strand corrected their own stale counts
+(`THEME-4`'s "51 files", `SHELL-4`'s "ten to six"). Do not silently match the cited numbers by quietly
+special-casing `component=` or template-literal parsing to make them fit — if the honest run finds
+different examples (or none) on properly-attributable tags, that is the real, reportable result.
+
+**Where to add the new export:** same file, `src/theme/themeCompleteness.js`, alongside its siblings.
+Suggested name (Codex's call, keep it short and consistent with `reportKitSxBypasses`/
+`reportOffPaletteColours`): `reportRedundantThemeValues` or `reportAppSxRedundancy`. Same
+`{ findings: [{ surface, reason }] }` contract; `surface` should follow the sibling convention
+(`${path}:${line}.${property}` or similar — check `reportOffPaletteColours`'s `${path}:${line}.colour`
+shape for the exact precedent). Export it from `src/theme/index.js` and `src/index.js` (follow the
+existing export-list pattern in both — this is additive public API, matching the "next minor" version
+target).
+
+**Signature, per Scope item 1 + 2:** `reportRedundantThemeValues(sources, { theme })` — takes the
+app's own sources (same `{path, source}`/string-array shape as siblings) and a **resolved theme
+object** (an app passes its own `createAppTheme(...)` result, or — for ucm's own required tests — a
+theme built the same way `assertKitSxDisjoint`'s tests do). For each JSX tag matching
+`BASELINE_STYLED_MUI_COMPONENTS`, for each top-level literal `property: value` pair in its `sx`,
+resolve `theme.components.Mui<Tag>.styleOverrides.root.<property>` via `getPath` and flag if
+`sameValue(parsedValue, themeValue)` — matching value AND matching property AND matching component,
+report-only (no exemption arm needed per the WO — this ships report-only with no hard-assertion path
+yet, so skip building an exemption contract this round, that's each app's own future ratchet WO).
+
+**Running it against cockpit (Scope item 3, required for the register note):** cockpit's frontend
+source lives at `C:\Users\biglmi\Documents\webapps\cockpit\frontend\src` (37 `.jsx` files, confirmed).
+Glob it (a small Node script or a throwaway test-like harness is fine — this does not need to be a
+committed cockpit-side test, just evidence for the register note) the same way `reportOffPaletteColours`'s
+own `'keeps current kit source free of hard off-palette findings'` test globs `src/` — exclude
+`cockpit/frontend/src/theme.js` explicitly from the sources passed (per Scope's "resolve it app-side"
+instruction — do NOT widen `reportOffPaletteColours`'s or this new check's own skip pattern to do it).
+Build the theme via cockpit's own `createAppTheme(...)` call if one exists (check `theme.js` for the
+palette it passes), or a reasonable equivalent. Report the exact count and 2-3 sample findings in the
+register note, per Verification's explicit requirement — a check nobody has run against real code is
+not verified.
+
+**Invariants:** no fix in cockpit or the kit; no change to `reportOffPaletteColours`,
+`assertKitSxDisjoint`, `reportKitSxBypasses`, `reportThemeAdoption`, or `assertThemeComplete`; no new
+baseline token; no hard assertion anywhere (report-only only).
