# Evidence — pass 3 retakes and headline rows **Visible differences outside the PR title:** destination B exposes “Open in VS Code” instead of A’s “Open in editor”; native file-preview full frames contain different local ports/encoded asset URLs. Supplemental A22 crops remove only the address bar. Tiny low-level border raster differences are included in Diff0, not discarded. Pinned [#26975](https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/pull/26975): [cc59f99e73](https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/commit/cc59f99e735300120a6fc74d9a0b9df7c98fa81c) → [2b7d6c3981](https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/commit/2b7d6c39817ffdd0f8b082ae8de2789952f33236). 11/11 assigned rows captured: A01, A05, A13, A20, A21, A22, A04, A02, A11, A12, A26. This is a supplement, not a new complete matrix verdict. Earlier evidence for all other rows is unchanged; sufficient A03, A06, A07, A19, A24, A27 and A28 were not rerun. Only the requested viewport/theme combinations and matrix minimums are claimed. Web: Playwright Chromium 148.0.7778.96, headless Linux fs-35; no device emulation; DPR 1; font scaling 100%; reduced motion; frozen client Date 2026-11-02T20:45:00Z. Desktop: actual Electron 44.10.0 / Chromium 152.0.7977.169, headless-desktop/Xvfb, ImageMagick import and ffmpeg X11 recording; --no-sandbox --disable-gpu; no device emulation; DPR 1; fonts 100%; reduced motion; same frozen client Date. Wide viewport 1440×1000; narrow viewport 390×844. Every pair names its theme and viewport. Server and resource clocks remain real. Each still waits for network idle and document.fonts.ready; two PNGs 500 ms apart must be byte-identical before acceptance. Every accepted full-surface pair and both diffs were opened and visually inspected in labelled contact sheets; recording frames were decoded at each annotated milestone and at the final encoded frame. This is milestone/frame review, not a claim of continuous playback. Loading transitions remain visible in recordings; the deliberate Checking/Preparing states are the subject of their rows. Diff0 paints every pixel whose maximum RGB-channel delta is >0 in full-strength magenta on a dim grayscale reference, amplifying even a one-level delta. DiffT paints max-channel delta >16/255 orange. Counts below use those exact rules. There is no global “nothing else changed” claim. Both logical machines are isolated real servers on fs-35, so both visible labels are fs-35: primary A is first, peer B second. Distinct IDs, RPC endpoints and final draft states are in the transcripts. Fresh homes created by each checkout with T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0; no live database was read or copied. Native Electron has its own fresh primary server paired to the same side’s isolated B. Resource telemetry is real; deterministic holds are explicitly labelled HARNESS and forward the original request unchanged. Unverified limits: host OS URL/file association launch; viewport/theme permutations beyond those listed; all matrix rows outside this assignment retain prior status. No test or description substitutes for a capture. Rejected native r3/A04 r3/A02 r3/r4 attempts are excluded from accepted tables and recordings; native r4 retakes correct their source-state mismatch. A02 r5 dismisses the Send warning before the settled pair. 52 matched still pairs, 104 diff images and 32 interaction recordings (16 Before/After pairs). No assigned row omitted. Native OS association launch and additional width/theme permutations remain unverified, as disclosed per row.

browser contexts and the preview tab were closed. Four dev process groups, both native Electron/Xvfb wrapper groups, the controller and HTTP fixture server were stopped using tracked spawn PIDs. All owned listening ports were checked closed. Before checkout removed; after checkout clean at the requested head. No commits, pushes or PR body edits. Raw video intermediates were archived and uploaded before deletion; The six isolated runtime homes were then removed. Secret pairing/server logs remain private and are excluded from every public upload; they are retained under the brief’s no-deletion-before-upload rule. FRICTION: - tool | Initial CLI pairing used an unsupported flag; corrected to pair --base-dir and fresh one-time links. Some long command callers returned 143 while the browser controller continued; transcripts and owned contexts were checked before resuming. | Use the current CLI help and persistent driver result files. - model | First native retake inherited a mismatched source draft; all native r3 pairs were rejected and r4 rerun from matched empty drafts. A02 r4 final warning was dismissed in the r5 retake. | Assert source state and close scenario-specific overlays before final frames. - infra | Encoding during a routing run made real CPU telemetry exclude B. The rejected A04/A02 runs were rerun with encoding serialized and real resource refresh. Disk stayed at or above 8 GB. | Serialize video processing after real-resource routing scenarios. - runbook | The before native checkout needed its server bundle built in addition to Electron main/preload. | Build both matching native/server bundles before Electron startup.
