Full ready-to-paste PR-body Evidence section: [Evidence.md](https://gh-file-drop-api-prod-mi5fy3sowv63ufte.pinglabs.workers.dev/f/53e4d6c5f28da13b/Evidence.md)

Captured: E1 failure-only, before any pass phase; E3 latest-head C-pass, both watches active and before cleanup. Both selected pairs have settled AE=0 frame checks, inspected whole-viewport stills, Diff0 amplified32x and DiffT16 (>16/255). E2/E4/E5 content is retained; H1/H2 results are retained with Node corrected to26.12.1.

Environment for new captures: fs-29 (`freestyle`), Linux 6.1.102 x86_64, Node 26.12.1, Vite Plus 1.3.0; each revision built/run from its own checkout. Real server/RPC/reactor, fresh isolated homes (`T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0`), synthetic executable az and inert local provider. T3 preview Chromium 156, **1280×900 dark**, no device emulation, reported DPR 2 (PNG 1280×900), font scaling 100% / root 16px / visualViewport.scale 1. Browser Date frozen to 2026-10-27T16:00Z; server clock live for polling. Reduced-motion emulation unavailable; existing status-pulse paused at time 0 on both sides for settled thread stills. All selected still pairs had AE 0 at least 500ms apart and were inspected with both diffs. Diff0=absolute channel delta×32; DiffT=channel delta>16/255.

What else changed in the new stills:

- E1: one failure summary/icon replaces the empty-conversation prompt.
- E3: six summaries/icons (two failure, four pass) replace the empty-conversation prompt.
- Both pairs: active watch bars, composers, headers and all remaining pixels match at zero threshold. No extra visible change outside those regions.

Requested round-2 rows missing: none. Retained limits: native monitor items expose summaries only, so build/head detail is proved by committed event text and actual inert-provider receipts; live Azure and real credentials are unverified. E5 remains the cold-hover regression, not a general preview-readability claim.

Cleanup: both fixture watches unregistered; owned tabs closed; captured server/provider processes exited; baseline worktree removed; after checkout clean.
