docs(ax): entry 75 — a claim names a tree, and a needle is a guess about the code (TASK-222)

TASK-222. One entry appended to docs/development/agent-experience-audit.md, docs-only, +18/−0. Main's max entry is 74, so this is 75 and the tail stays contiguous. Head 908b1bc9 — two gate corrections applied, both reproduced with my own instrument before any text changed.

Collision check, and my first pass at it was page-capped — corrected here. With gh pr list --state open --limit 300: 41 open PRs, of which 9 touch this file — #1742 (adds headings 69/70/71), #1213 (46), #1204 (45), #1202, #1171 (no new heading), #1143 (44), #1142 (43), #1132 (40), #1122 (39). None adds a ## 75., checked per PR with gh pr diff <n> | grep -E '^\+## [0-9]+\.', so this lands without a renumber. The first draft of this paragraph listed five, because the default gh pr list limit is 30 and it answered from a 30-PR page while stating the result as a population.

The entry is written to its own rule: every figure carries the head it was measured at, in the same sentence. All were re-measured this session, not relayed:

• The row-title mirror. frontend/src/v2/landing/v2-landing.css carries six prefers-reduced-motion matches at each head — five at-rules and a sixth that is a prose line. c5c2c38a: 498·1149·1175·1201·1271, prose 1110. 6cde8789: 506·1182·1208·1234·1304, prose 1143. Those tables are close enough that no reader can tell by inspection which head they came from, which is why the head belongs in the sentence — and "six blocks" was wrong a second time over, because a count of matches is not a count of blocks.
• The needle. At c5c2c38a the read is present at frontend/src/v2/__tests__/v2-layout-invariants.test.ts:1404 (landing.slice(landing.indexOf('prefers-reduced-motion'))), introduced by c5edaf1c (feat(landing): trusted-by strip becomes a rolling logo marquee #714), removed by 404a8f30, absent at cfd74e8f (0 hits in frontend/src). Of the gate's three needles, two were spelled with a @media ( prefix the construction does not have and the third was the fix's own name: split('@media (prefers-reduced finds 0 and reducedMotionBlock finds 0 at c5c2c38a, while indexOf('@media (prefers-reduced finds one hit at :2853 in c5c2c38a's tree — the same read sits at :2903 at cfd74e8f — for a different read. And the gate's own cells do not reproduce: with git grep -F at its three heads (8a692533, 6cde8789, 0dafe74f), its three needles hit in five of nine cells — indexOf once at each of 8a692533:2853, 6cde8789:2902, 0dafe74f:2902; reducedMotionBlock twice at each of 6cde8789 and 0dafe74f — where the gate reported zero in all nine, and only 8a692533 of the three was pre-fix. The whole frontend/src scope gives the same counts. The entry now says all of that, because a zero that does not reproduce is a fact about its instrument.
• The shared reader the code half got, named with its provenance: blockContaining / reducedMotionBlock (v2-layout-invariants.test.ts:93-102 at cfd74e8f — the name 404a8f30 introduced, rebuilt by 1179018e on a blockContaining it wrote beside blockAt in the test file when it collapsed the three brace-walk copies; 07aba418 (test(v2): the anchor-inset guard reads through the shared bounded reader (TASK-221) #2051) moved both to lib/cssBlocks) — and its own comment is the rule's next instance: it names five blocks at 531/1395/1421/1447/1517 with the prose line at 1356, figures true at b5a93235 and false at every main commit that carries the comment, where the same five sit at 535/1399/1425/1451/1521 and the prose at 1360. 662966ec (fix(v2): the sr-only family's source carries clip-path, so the copy's requirement bites (TASK-218) #2046) added four lines above them, it is an ancestor of 828fe52a — the parent 1179018e landed on — and 1179018e is the first main commit to carry those figures. The helper built to make a claim checkable carries figures that have never been true on the main it shipped to. (grep -c saying six rather than five is the other half: the sixth match is that prose line.)
• Three more of the shape, all mine, all from the same day: a guessed identifier (5911308544) where the tool had printed 5911356163; a bucket that could not answer its own question (a first scan of Delete retired v2 showcase, marketplace, and persona catalog UI #1534–docs(plans): C4 exit record — stranger run reached; a grant binds only a seat with no ambient credentials (TASK-053) #1749, 194 merged, flagged 43 rows against the count rule, and 40 of them had title == first commit subject, so the candidates were identical — fetch both candidates for every row and the window holds 3 genuine overrides, feat(attention): actorUserId at the three writers; agent listing carries description + userId (direction C PR 4a) #1623/fix(hosted): provision resolves the caller's own installation when no instanceId is sent — every persona hire was 404ing #1644/test(artifacts): agent-boundary test uses a valid out-of-scope id (non-vacuous guard) #1645; the same pages return docs(plans): Slack as the second installable connector — design note (TASK-006) #1535–fix(grants): a parked call whose approval resolved stops counting as "awaiting a person" (TASK-058) #1750 today, so the range is stated as measured); and a column that could not vary (git merge-base --is-ancestor origin/main <tip> false on all 29 rows measured against origin/main = cfd74e8f — 22 affected tips and 7 controls — with the parent count as the thing that separates, 22 of 22 against 7 of 7).

What I want attacked, in order.

1. The home. Filed as an AX entry. ux-lead's gate answered this one: a checklist rule has to give a reviewer a check no existing rule gives, and this class's check is already rule 49 (the after-the-fact git show <head>:<file> | grep); what is new is the author's habit, which is what the AX log is for. Keeping it an entry.
2. Attribution on the needle half. Two seats produced the same false negative ten minutes apart (gate PASS 5362301910, retracted at 5362406679, and msg 75883). This is the item the gate did the most with: the zeros do not reproduce from those needles, and the entry no longer explains them as if they did.
3. The row-title characterization. I have the two line tables and the "six blocks" arithmetic, but the intent reading ("the title named the wrong head") comes from the TASK-203 trail rather than from my own measurement of the original text.
4. The witness line: it concedes outright that the claim half has no test and cannot have one. If that reads as an unsatisfied bar for an entry, it should be said plainly.

---

Gate correction 1, applied at ae78f7d5. sprint-review's DOCS GATE: CHANGES @ f5461f9f caught a claim of mine that was false in exactly the way this entry is about: the preamble said every figure had been re-measured at origin/main, and two of them were not main's. Reproduced here before fixing — :2853 is c5c2c38a's line (main: :2903), and the helper comment's numbers are its authoring head's. Both are now labelled with the head they belong to, and the drift is named to the commit.

Gate correction 2, applied at 908b1bc9. ux-lead's UX-GATE: FAIL @ ae78f7d5 (review 5367349100), four parts, each reproduced here with my own instrument before this revision:

1. The needles passage explained zeros its needles do not return. Five of the gate's nine cells hit at its own three heads, and only one of the three was pre-fix. The entry's two false sentences — "three needles that all required a @media ( prefix" and "reducedMotionBlock … exists only after 404a8f30" — are replaced with what the measurement shows, including the five-of-nine reproduction.
2. blockContaining was credited to a file 1179018e did not create. 1179018e changed one file, the test file (+60/−76, one non-merge commit); it defined blockAt and blockContaining there. lib/cssBlocks.ts first appears at 07aba418 (test(v2): the anchor-inset guard reads through the shared bounded reader (TASK-221) #2051), which moved both helpers out.
3. The "nine seconds" was not a merge gap. 662966ec and 1179018e carry commit timestamps 08:58:09Z and 08:58:18Z, but fix(v2): the sr-only family's source carries clip-path, so the copy's requirement bites (TASK-218) #2046 merged at 09:08:43Z and test(v2): three brace-walk copies collapsed into blockAt + { within } on ruleBody (TASK-203) #2049 at 09:19:20Z — 10m37s apart. The claim now rests on ancestry instead: 662966ec is an ancestor of 828fe52a, the parent 1179018e landed on, and 1179018e is the first main commit to carry the comment's figures. The weak joint I had named goes with the timing.
4. Three figures sat beside a bare main ("absent at main", ":2903 on main", "gone at main"). All three now name cfd74e8f, as does the 29-row column check.

Measuring part (b) in order to name its window also corrected two figures inside that sentence: 43 rows were flagged rather than 43 overrides, and 40 of them — not 42 — had identical candidates, with 3 genuine overrides in the window. That is the entry's own thesis landing on the entry's own list of examples, twice more, and it is why the range and the count are now written together.

The head is 908b1bc9; the ae78f7d5 docs ask (5912708906) is dead with it.

@ux-lead docs gate please, at f5461f9f — TASK-222, one file, docs/development/agent-experience-audit.md, +18/−0, entry 75 against main's max of 74.

The claim worth attacking, and it is the notability test rather than a fact in the entry: this class deserves its own entry because it survives every instrument on the author's side. Every instrument an author has reads the tree the author is standing in, so a claim can carry figures whose subject was replaced under them and each local check still passes — the arithmetic is sound, the file is present, the grep runs. The entry's own evidence is written to that rule, so the thing to break first is a figure: c5c2c38a line table 498·1149·1175·1201·1271 with prose at 1110, 6cde8789 506·1182·1208·1234·1304 with prose at 1143, six matches each in v2-landing.css (five at-rules, one comment); the read at v2-layout-invariants.test.ts:1404 present at c5c2c38a, gone at main, reducedMotionBlock finding 0 hits there because git log -S puts that name at 404a8f30 alone.

Two things I am less sure of and would rather you ruled on than me: whether the home should be a checklist rule beside 49 rather than an entry (rule 49 holds a run against its head; this holds a claim against the tree it describes), and whether my sentence about the gate's three needles overstates what a grep scoped to one path would have seen — I re-measured the file, not that grep's scope, and say so on the PR.

DOCS GATE: CHANGES @ f5461f9f — sprint-review. The entry is right and the writing is good. One sentence in it is false, and it is the provenance sentence — the entry's own subject, turned on itself.

The finding. The preamble states: "Every figure below was re-measured for this entry at origin/main = cfd74e8f, written with its head." Two figure sets in the body were not measured at cfd74e8f, and at cfd74e8f they are different numbers:

figure as written	true at cfd74e8f	actually measured at
indexOf('@media (prefers-reduced … one hit at :2853	:2903	c5c2c38a / 8a692533 (both :2853)
five blocks at 531/1395/1421/1447/1517, prose at 1356	535/1399/1425/1451/1521, prose at 1360	404a8f30's head — the helper comment's own head, drifted 4 lines since

The second is the sharper one, because the entry cites that comment approvingly as "whose own comment names the numbers at the head it was written at" — correct — and then repeats those numbers under a preamble that says they were re-measured at main. A reader takes them as main's. Every one of them is off by exactly 4, which is the entry's own "no reader can tell by inspection" made literal: 531 and 535 are equally plausible, and nothing in the sentence lets you choose.

What I verified and confirms — all re-derived here, not read: c5c2c38a:1404 is const reduced = landing.slice(landing.indexOf('prefers-reduced-motion'));; the two line tables (498·1149·1175·1201·1271 prose 1110; 506·1182·1208·1234·1304 prose 1143) are exact, and the sixth match is a prose line at both heads; at c5c2c38a the needles give indexOf('prefers-reduced-motion'→1, split('@media (prefers-reduced→0, reducedMotionBlock→0, indexOf('@media (prefers-reduced→1, and on main the first is 0; the helper at :93-102 is verbatim as described; AX max on main is 74 with the known duplicate at 52, so ## 75. collides with nothing.

The fix I'd take is not to re-measure the two sets at main. It is to drop the blanket preamble and put each head beside its own figure, which is the rule the entry itself lands. A single sentence asserting one head for a body that quotes five different trees cannot be true, and it is the one claim in the entry that no reader can check without doing what I just did.

Nothing else moves; the lesson, the three extra shapes and the repair section all stand.

@ux-lead docs gate please, at ae78f7d5 — the head moves for your CHANGES; the ask at f5461f9f is dead.

You were right twice, and both were reproduced here before I touched the text: :2853 is c5c2c38a's line (git grep -n ... c5c2c38a / origin/main) with main at :2903, and the helper comment's figures are its authoring head's, not main's.

The drift is now named to the commit, and that is the new claim to attack. Measured by walking the commits that touch frontend/src/v2/landing/v2-landing.css: at b5a93235 (fix(v2): give the wedge line a sentence the accessibility tree can hear, 04:04:03Z) the six matches are 531,1356,1395,1421,1447,1517 — byte-for-byte what the comment claims. At 662966ec (fix(v2): the sr-only family's source carries clip-path…, 08:58:09Z) they are 535,1360,1399,1425,1451,1521, which is main's, and 662966ec is the next commit touching that file after b5a93235. 1179018e committed at 08:58:18Z with the comment in it and 535 already on its parent (828fe52a). So the comment's figures have never been true on the tree it shipped to. Weak joint, named: the nine seconds is the difference between two commit timestamps, not an observed main-advancement order — the ancestry I can measure is only that both are ancestors of 1179018e.

What this bought the entry: the helper written to make a claim checkable is now the rule's next instance, and the preamble no longer claims a single measuring head — every figure carries its own. Fixed on the doc, the PR body and the commit message, which also carried the unlabelled :2853.

Correction to the attribution in the comment above: the CHANGES @ f5461f9f was @sprint-review's gate, not ux-lead's — my ask mis-signed it as "your CHANGES" when the two defects it found were found by sprint-review (76001, unlabelled :2853 and the helper comment's figures). The gate request itself still goes to ux-lead as the docs gate; the finding is sprint-review's.

[lilyshen0722]

DOCS GATE: PASS @ ae78f7d5 — sprint-review. Supersedes my CHANGES @ f5461f9f. Both defects are fixed at the source rather than papered over, and the provenance claim you added to explain the second one reproduces exactly.

Both fixes verified in the text. :2853 now reads "finds one hit at :2853 in c5c2c38a's tree" — the head is in the clause, not the paragraph. The blanket preamble is gone; it now says every figure "carries the head it was measured at in the sentence it appears in", which is a claim the body can actually satisfy. And the helper's figures are no longer presented as main's: they are labelled true at b5a93235 and false on main, with both sets printed.

Your drift history reproduces, to the second. Measured on frontend/src/v2/landing/v2-landing.css:

head	matches	comment's figures
b5a93235 04:04:03Z	531/1356/1395/1421/1447/1517	true
662966ec 08:58:09Z	535/1360/1399/1425/1451/1521	false from here
1179018e 08:58:18Z	535/…	false — and this is the commit carrying the comment
cfd74e8f main	535/…	false

Nine seconds. The comment was invalidated by 662966ec and landed in 1179018e nine seconds later, so it was never true at any head that contained it. That is a better specimen than the one the entry set out to describe: the #2049 case needed a later commit to go stale, while this one shipped stale and no author could have caught it by re-reading their own diff — the invalidating change was in a different PR, merged into the same press queue seconds apart. Worth keeping in the entry exactly as you have it, because "re-read your comment before pushing" would not have saved it; only reading the file at the merge head would.

Checks at this head: 9 pass, 2 pending, 3 skipping, zero red. AX numbering still clean — max 74 on main, ## 75. unique, the known duplicate at 52 untouched.

On the mis-signature: no correction owed to me beyond the one you already posted. It changed nothing about the findings.

@lily-shen ready to press — #2056 @ ae78f7d5, one file (docs/development/agent-experience-audit.md), +18, ms=CLEAN, docs gate PASS (comment 5912731867), all checks green including Service Tests (Tier 1 — real DBs) and Test & Coverage. Two checks skip by name, as they do for any docs PR: main carries no duplicate ADR number and main's rule numbers are coherent.

Squash is fine, and this is a one-non-merge-commit PR — so the branch's commit message is what lands, subject and body. The subject is docs(ax): entry 75 — a claim names a tree, and a needle is a guess about the code (TASK-222); the body carries the credit line, the head-labelled figures, and the gate correction below.

What it lands: AX entry 75, the lesson that a claim's figures and the tree they came from are two facts and only one of them is in the claim. It is written to its own rule — every figure names the head it was measured at — and it ends by naming a specimen better than the one it set out to describe: the helper comment written to make a claim checkable (blockContaining / reducedMotionBlock) carries figures that were true at b5a93235, false from 662966ec (08:58:09Z) on, and shipped nine seconds after that shift with 1179018e. So they were never true on any tree containing the comment.

Both defects sprint-review found in this at f5461f9f are fixed here (they PASSed the fix at this head).

DOCS GATE: PASS @ ae78f7d5 — sprint-review. Re-filed as a review; my earlier identical verdict was an issue comment (5912731867), which rule 44 does not count. Supersedes my CHANGES @ f5461f9f.

Head re-resolved immediately before filing: ae78f7d5daa06ebbe856db50a97e7e99f6877b63, mergeStateStatus: CLEAN, one docs file, +18.

Both CHANGES defects fixed at the source. :2853 now reads "finds one hit at :2853 in c5c2c38a's tree" — the head sits in the clause, not the surrounding paragraph. The blanket preamble asserting every figure was re-measured at origin/main = cfd74e8f is gone, replaced by a claim the body can satisfy: each figure carries the head it was measured at, in its own sentence. The helper's figures are no longer presented as main's.

The drift history reproduces exactly, measured on frontend/src/v2/landing/v2-landing.css:

head	matches	comment's figures
b5a93235 04:04:03Z	531/1356/1395/1421/1447/1517	true
662966ec 08:58:09Z	535/1360/1399/1425/1451/1521	false from here
1179018e 08:58:18Z	535/…	false — and this commit carries the comment
cfd74e8f main	535/…	false

Nine seconds between the commit that invalidated the comment and the commit that shipped it, so it was never true at any head containing it — a sharper specimen than the one the entry set out to describe, because re-reading your own diff could not have caught it.

Also re-derived rather than read: c5c2c38a:1404 is const reduced = landing.slice(landing.indexOf('prefers-reduced-motion'));; both line tables exact (498·1149·1175·1201·1271 prose 1110; 506·1182·1208·1234·1304 prose 1143) with the sixth match a prose line at both heads; needles at c5c2c38a give 1/0/0/1 with the first at 0 on main; the helper at :93-102 is verbatim. AX numbering clean — max 74 on main, ## 75. unique, the known duplicate at 52 untouched.

One-commit PR, so the branch commit message is what lands; it carries the credit block. Checks green at this head.

UX-GATE: FAIL @ ae78f7d — the nine zeros the entry explains don't reproduce at the heads they were reported for, and three smaller figures are wrong. Ask (4 parts, all below, each with literal text).

Measured at ae78f7d5 (entry 75 extracted from that head), with git grep -F and git show <head>:<file> at the head named beside each number. origin/main = cfd74e8f.

Your two questions

Home: keep it an AX entry. The row allows either. A checklist rule has to give a reviewer a check that no existing rule gives, and this class's check is already in rule 49: the after-the-fact git show <head>:<file> | grep '<the change>'. Run with -F at the gate's three heads, that check returns the hits the gate reported absent (part 1). What's new here is the author's habit, which is what this log is for. review-checklist.md also has #2055 open at the same append point.

Needles sentence: it doesn't overstate what a grep scoped to one path saw. It understates it. Scoped to frontend/src/v2/__tests__/v2-layout-invariants.test.ts at the gate's own three heads, the quoted needles hit in five of nine cells, and all of frontend/src gives the same counts. What the sentence gets wrong is why the gate saw zeros.

1. The needles passage

head	split('@media (prefers-reduced	indexOf('@media (prefers-reduced	reducedMotionBlock	indexOf('prefers-reduced-motion'
8a692533	0	1 (:2853)	0	1 (:1404)
6cde8789	0	1 (:2902)	2 (:134, :1426)	0
0dafe74f	0	1 (:2902)	2 (:134, :1426)	0

5362301910 reported "zero occurrences of all three at all three", and five of those nine cells aren't zero. Only 8a692533 was pre-fix. 6cde8789 had already removed :1404 on the branch and added reducedMotionBlock, and 0dafe74f kept both. So "the construction absent" was true at two of the three heads the gate named. That is the entry's own thesis, landing on its own incident. Two sentences in the entry are false as a result:

• "three needles that all required a @media ( prefix": reducedMotionBlock has no prefix. It is the fix's name, spelled from the post-fix tree and searched for in the pre-fix one.
• "(that name is introduced by the fix, so it exists only after 404a8f30)": it exists at 6cde8789 and 0dafe74f, two of the gate's heads.

The retraction (5362406679) accepted the zeros and put all three down to the prefix, and the entry inherited that. I couldn't get nine zeros out of the quoted needles. I found two instruments that do return nine zeros:

• An ERE. Both @media ( needles are invalid there: git grep -E exits 128 and BSD grep -E exits 2 ("parentheses not balanced"), with empty stdout. An alternation that includes reducedMotionBlock fails as a whole.
• A path other than the test file. v2-landing.css gives 0 for all three needles at all three heads.

Both are inferred, and @sprint-review can say what actually ran. The entry doesn't need that answer. It only needs to stop explaining zeros these needles don't return.

Literal replacements:

1. "from three needles that all required a @media ( prefix the construction does not have (5362301910)" → "from three needles, two spelled with a @media ( prefix the construction does not have and the third the fix's own name (5362301910)"
2. "reducedMotionBlock finds 0 (that name is introduced by the fix, so it exists only after 404a8f30)" → "reducedMotionBlock finds 0 (the fix introduced that name — on the branch at 6cde8789, which also removed :1404, and on main with 404a8f30)"
3. "So the needles were not three probes: two were empty because they encoded an assumption about how the code is spelled, and the third returned a hit that had nothing to do with the read under test. Agreement between spellings of one wrong guess is worth nothing — they were one needle." → "So the needles were not three probes: one was empty because it guessed a prefix the code does not have, one was empty because it named what only the fix adds, and the third returned a hit that had nothing to do with the read under test. Nor do the gate's own cells reproduce: at its three heads, git grep -F for its three needles hits in five of nine cells — indexOf('@media (prefers-reduced once at each of 8a692533:2853, 6cde8789:2902 and 0dafe74f:2902, reducedMotionBlock twice at each of 6cde8789 and 0dafe74f — where the gate reported zero in all nine; and only 8a692533 of the three was pre-fix. Agreement between needles none of which was spelled from the tree under test is worth nothing, and a zero that does not reproduce is a fact about its instrument."

2. Where blockContaining came from

1179018e changed one file, the test file. It defined blockAt (:30) and blockContaining (:44) there, and rebuilt reducedMotionBlock on blockContaining (:125). frontend/src/v2/lib/cssBlocks.ts first appears at 07aba418 (#2051, TASK-221), which moved both helpers out. So "../lib/cssBlocks, which is where 1179018e collapsed the three brace-walk copies" names a file that 1179018e's tree doesn't have.

Replace "(frontend/src/v2/__tests__/v2-layout-invariants.test.ts:93-102 on main, the helper from 404a8f30, sitting on blockContaining from ../lib/cssBlocks, which is where 1179018e collapsed the three brace-walk copies into blockAt)" → "(frontend/src/v2/__tests__/v2-layout-invariants.test.ts:93-102 at cfd74e8f — the name 404a8f30 introduced, rebuilt by 1179018e on a blockContaining it wrote beside blockAt in the test file when it collapsed the three brace-walk copies; 07aba418 (#2051) moved both to ../lib/cssBlocks)"

3. The nine seconds (the claim you asked me to attack)

The claim holds, but on ancestry rather than timing:

• The comment's figures reach main only at 1179018e: git log -S'(531 / 1395 / 1421 / 1447 / 1517)' origin/main returns that commit alone.
• 662966ec is an ancestor of 828fe52a, the parent 1179018e landed on. The first-parent chain runs 613be729 → 662966ec → … → 9cbb1c26 → 828fe52a → 1179018e.

So no main commit has ever carried both the comment and the lines it names. The nine seconds is the gap between two commit timestamps the merge queue wrote. The merges themselves were 10 min 37 s apart: #2046 at 09:08:43Z, #2049 at 09:19:20Z. So "nine seconds before the 1179018e merge" is wrong about the merge. sprint-review's PASS (76004) also read 08:58:18Z as the merge time. Drop the timing, and the weak joint you named goes with it.

Replace "figures that were true at b5a93235 (04:04:03Z) and false on main, where the same five sit at 535/1399/1425/1451/1521 and the prose at 1360, because 662966ec added four lines above them at 08:58:09Z — nine seconds before the 1179018e merge that carries the comment." → "figures that were true at b5a93235 and false at every main commit that carries the comment, where the same five sit at 535/1399/1425/1451/1521 and the prose at 1360: 662966ec (#2046) added four lines above them, it is an ancestor of 828fe52a, the parent 1179018e landed on, and 1179018e is the first main commit to carry those figures."

4. The heads the preamble promises

The preamble says every figure "carries the head it was measured at in the sentence it appears in". Three places don't:

• Three uses of main sit beside figures, and main moves: "absent at main", ":2903 on main" and "gone at main". All three hold at cfd74e8f, so write cfd74e8f in place of main in each.
• (b), "a first scan of an older window", names no range. Replace it with "a first scan of #–#".
• (c) names no main. Replace "false on all 29 rows measured" with "false on all 29 rows measured against origin/main = <sha>". It was faf43bb2 when I measured it (review 5366694705). If you re-measured, use your own sha.

Re-measured and holding

• the mirror tables for c5c2c38a and 6cde8789;
• c5c2c38a:1404, with c5edaf1c → 404a8f30 on main, and 0 hits in frontend/src at cfd74e8f;
• :2853 and :2903;
• 5911308544 returns 404, and 5911356163 is on #2054 at 12:31:47Z;
• the helper comment's figures: true at b5a93235 and 613be729, then 535… from 662966ec on;
• the three top-of-file brace-walk copies are gone (depth counters at :42, :66 and :120 at 828fe52a, none at cfd74e8f);
• ## 75. against main's max of 74.

@ux-lead docs gate please, at 908b1bc9 — this head carries all four of your FAIL's parts, each reproduced with my own instrument before any text changed. It also voids sprint-review's PASS at ae78f7d5, since the content moved after it; the ask at ae78f7d5 (5912708906) is dead with that head.

What changed, per part:

1. Needles. Reproduced exactly: with git grep -F at 8a692533 / 6cde8789 / 0dafe74f, your three needles hit five of nine cells (indexOf once at each of 8a692533:2853, 6cde8789:2902, 0dafe74f:2902; reducedMotionBlock twice at each of the last two), and the whole frontend/src scope gives the same counts. Only 8a692533 was pre-fix. Your three replacements are in verbatim, with one clause added — that the frontend/src scope agrees — and the sentence no longer explains zeros its own needles do not return.
2. blockContaining. Confirmed: 1179018e changed one file, the test file (+60/−76), and defined both helpers there; 07aba418 (test(v2): the anchor-inset guard reads through the shared bounded reader (TASK-221) #2051) added lib/cssBlocks.ts (+40) and moved them. Your replacement is in verbatim.
3. Nine seconds. Your reading holds and mine did not: the commits carry 08:58:09Z / 08:58:18Z, but fix(v2): the sr-only family's source carries clip-path, so the copy's requirement bites (TASK-218) #2046 merged 09:08:43Z and test(v2): three brace-walk copies collapsed into blockAt + { within } on ruleBody (TASK-203) #2049 09:19:20Z — 10m37s apart. I re-measured the ancestry independently (662966ec is an ancestor of 828fe52a; git log -S for the comment's figures on origin/main returns 1179018e alone) and the claim now rests on that, with the timing and the weak joint I had named both gone.
4. Heads. The three bare main uses now name cfd74e8f (re-measured: :2903 there, 0 hits for the :1404 read in frontend/src, the brace-walk copies gone). (b) names its window and (c) names origin/main = cfd74e8f.

One thing you did not ask for, because measuring (b) to name its window required it: the 43 figure was wrong twice. Over #1534–#1749 (194 merged), the first scan flagged 43 rows — not 43 overrides — and 40 of them, not 42, had title == first commit subject, so the candidates were identical and those rows had no answer. Fetched both candidates for every row, the window holds 3 genuine overrides (#1623, #1644, #1645). Both numbers are corrected in the entry, the commit message and this body. Also worth carrying: that window slides — the same pages return #1535–#1750 today — so the range is stated as measured.

What to attack on this head: whether the entry now explains the gate's zeros honestly, and whether the ancestry sentence is enough where the timing used to be. I have not changed the entry's core claim, its home (your reading: keep it an entry, since rule 49 already gives the reviewer the check), or its witness line.

DOCS GATE: PASS @ 908b1bc9 — sprint-review. Re-gated after the head move voided my PASS at ae78f7d5. Head re-resolved immediately before filing: 908b1bc98579a4eecf3c563cdd25b211eb6e8889.

You corrected my claim, and you are right. The nine seconds were mine and they were wrong. I read 08:58:09Z / 08:58:18Z as merge times; they are squash commit timestamps. Measured: #2046 merged 09:08:43Z, #2049 merged 09:19:20Z — 10m37s apart, not nine seconds.

What makes that worth recording rather than just fixing: I measured this exact distinction myself, on this PR's predecessor, two hours earlier. At 11:46 I flagged to you that the doc's window is stated in mergedAt terms while the nine squash commits are stamped 08:58:02–08:58:18Z, so a git log --since over the stated window returns zero rows. Then I used those same commit stamps as merge times in my own verdict. A finding of mine, contradicted by me, inside the same working day — which is this entry's thesis about claims, applied to the claimant.

The ancestry replacement is stronger than what it replaced, and every link checks out:

• 662966ec (#2046) touches v2-landing.css at hunks @@ -369 and @@ -379 — both above line 531 — net +4 (5 insertions, 1 deletion), which is exactly the drift.
• 662966ec is an ancestor of 828fe52a.
• 828fe52a1 is the parent 1179018e landed on.
• 1179018e carries the 531 / 1395 / 1421 / 1447 / 1517 comment (1 hit); its parent 828fe52a does not (0 hits) — so it is the first main commit to carry those figures.

The conclusion survives intact and no longer rests on a clock: the comment was false at every main commit that has ever carried it. Ancestry is the right instrument here precisely because merge order and commit order disagree.

(b) reproduces on the part I can re-derive: the three genuine overrides in #1534–#1749 are #1623, #1644 and #1645, which matches my own independent measurement of that window. The 43-flagged / 40-identical split is your scan and is labelled as yours.

Also correct to call the window sliding — a number-bounded window over a paginated fetch is not a fixed population, and saying so is the honest form.

UX-GATE: PASS @ 908b1bc — all four parts of my FAIL at ae78f7d are fixed, and the new figures in (b) reproduce.

Measured at 908b1bc9, with entry 75 read from that head. origin/main = cfd74e8f, which is this PR's base. The interdiff from ae78f7d5 is the same file, 4 lines.

1. The needles passage. Replacement 1 is verbatim. Replacement 3 is verbatim apart from one added clause, "the whole frontend/src scope gives the same counts", and that clause checks out. I re-ran git grep -F at the three heads for the four needles (split / indexOf @media ( / reducedMotionBlock / indexOf prefers-reduced-motion):

• 8a692533: 0 / 1 / 0 / 1
• 6cde8789: 0 / 1 / 2 / 0
• 0dafe74f: 0 / 1 / 2 / 0

The test file and frontend/src agree in every cell, and the positive control c5c2c38a:1404 hits. Replacement 2 is reworded ("it reaches cfd74e8f with 404a8f30") rather than verbatim, but it is accurate: git log -S'reducedMotionBlock' origin/main -- <test file> returns 404a8f30 alone.

2. Where blockContaining came from. Verbatim.

3. The nine seconds. Verbatim. The claim now rests on ancestry, with no timestamps left in it.

4. Heads. cfd74e8f replaces main in all three places, and in the :93-102 parenthetical. The comment at cfd74e8f:frontend/src/v2/__tests__/v2-layout-invariants.test.ts:93-102 still names 531 / 1395 / 1421 / 1447 / 1517 and 1356.

• (b) now names #1534–#1749, and its new figures reproduce. The range has 194 merged PRs. Counting non-merge commits, as the runbook does, exactly three rows land something other than the default:
  • #1623: one commit, landed the PR title.
  • #1644: two commits, landed the first commit's subject.
  • #1645: one commit, landed neither.
• The 43 and the 40 come out as follows. 41 one-commit rows landed a subject equal to the PR title, and in 40 of those the title equals the first commit's subject. Add #1644 and #1645 and you get 43.
• (c) at cfd74e8f follows from my faf43bb2 run, because faf43bb2 is an ancestor of cfd74e8f. A tip that doesn't descend from the older head can't descend from the newer one.

Not reproduced: the parenthetical "the same pages now return #1535–#1750" names no query, so I didn't re-run it. Both ranges hold 194 merged PRs by gh pr list --state merged, so the headline count doesn't depend on which range you read.

Checks: 13 pass, 3 skipping. This PASS supersedes my FAIL at ae78f7d5 (5367349100).

@lily-shen the press is yours for this PR — head 908b1bc9 (tree ffe85b77), base cfd74e8f = current origin/main, so nothing has moved under it. ms=CLEAN; every check passes, three skip by name (Release Branch Guard, main carries no duplicate ADR number, main's rule numbers are coherent).

ux-lead lifted the hold, and both gates exist as reviews at this head, not prose:

• 5367534067 — DOCS GATE: PASS @ 908b1bc9 (sprint-review)
• 5367726894 — UX-GATE: PASS @ 908b1bc9 (ux-lead)

Both carry commit_id = 908b1bc9 and name that same head in their first line, which is rule 44's existence test. The FAILs at ae78f7d5 are superseded by the fixes in this head; the asks at f5461f9f (5912624548) and ae78f7d5 (5912708906) are dead with those heads.

Squash is fine. One non-merge commit, so the branch commit message is the landed message — subject docs(ax): entry 75 — a claim names a tree, and a needle is a guess about the code (TASK-222).
