Proof audit pass 2, read-only, PR [#28195](https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/pull/28195).
Reviewed head [9e4299152e](https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/commit/9e4299152ede4514520d37791b603e2613095d51) against recorded PR base [15fe283272](https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/commit/15fe2832727893cbdd2214383f9f971474849695). Forge head/base agree; local main has since advanced and was not substituted for the recorded base.

Findings first:

1. P2, proof blocker under the brief's no-clipped-text rule: after-V1-390x844-light.png and after-V1-390x844-dark.png cut off/fade the first line of the first prompt underneath the top header at y~52. Before shows that complete prompt. The unchanged header/composer and inserted divider are otherwise clean. The two after frames need a consistent framing/scroll position that leaves rendered text intact, with regenerated Diff0/DiffT. This is a capture-quality finding, not a claim of a new clipping bug. The evidence section discloses the clipping, but disclosure does not satisfy the explicit capture-quality rule.
2. P2, PR verification narrative is stale: cafe pr view data.resource.description still claims the visual run used gpt-6-astra at 1280x800, describes an unrelated changed thread-details panel, says screenshots are not attached and mobile is not checked, and has no new evidence/rebuild-script links. The supplied artifacts instead show gpt-6-luna at 1440x900 and 390x844 with the right surface panel unchanged, and include native Pixel 9 proof. Those artifacts do not substantiate the separate Astra/1280x800/panel-difference claim. Replace the old visual-verification paragraph with the delivered run and link its evidence/scripts. No PR change was made in this review.

| Scoped entry | Status | Inspected proof |
|---|---|---|
| B0/V1 1440x900 light | SUFFICIENT | Before/after, both diffs and sheet inspected; exactly the handoff plus 48px turn-3 shift. Independent rerender is pixel-identical. |
| B0/V1 1440x900 dark | SUFFICIENT | Before/after, both diffs and sheet inspected; same expected delta. |
| B0/V1 390x844 light | INSUFFICIENT | after-V1-390x844-light.png clips/fades first prompt's opening line; both diffs and sheet inspected. |
| B0/V1 390x844 dark | INSUFFICIENT | after-V1-390x844-dark.png clips/fades first prompt's opening line; both diffs and sheet inspected. |
| V1-mobile Pixel 9 dark after | SUFFICIENT | Actual native 1080x2424 frame, 411.43x923.43 logical, DPR2.625/fontScale1; divider and turn3 readable; no overlay/loading. Before/diffs optional/N/A per scope. |
| R1 1440x900 light | SUFFICIENT | Both recordings decoded with ffmpeg at narrated timestamps; before 0->0 dividers and after 1->1 across reload, correctly above turn3. Startup/reload frames are deliberately loading, not offered as settled stills. |
| C0 | SUFFICIENT | Both pre-fault transcripts have six completed items (user/assistant/checkpoint x2), zero handoff/transfer. |
| S1 | SUFFICIENT | Real resume_failed log/errorTag on both; changed native IDs and PELICAN recall; head handoff at3000000 before user3000001, matching handoff/transfer/native IDs and full_thread_summary. Events73-75 agree with the single production EventSink write. |
| S5/V6 | SUFFICIENT | Head test output45/45; base regression fails at missing recovery handoff (42 other integration tests filtered). Real-store allocator transcript2000001,2000000,2000002,2000003 matches tested semantics. |

Scope exclusions: accepted the lead-scoped matrix. S2/S3 converge at the same new emission site, renderer cardinality/status and destination are fixed, existing endpoint/metadata branches were not changed, and S4/S6/V5/V7 remain the explicitly excluded guard/ordering/retry code-review cases. No additional excluded row was marked missing merely because it exists in the full matrix. This is not a new verdict on the separately identified failed-write retry code concern.

Visual inspection coverage: all9 submitted stills, all8 diff images, all4 before/after sheets, both recording contact sheets, both .webm recordings at0,6,12,14,18,19,24,26,28,32 and additional transition frames18.5,19.5,20,20.5,21,22,23,25,30,31,33. Also inspected13 unsubmitted diagnostic captures separately; diagnostic loading frames were not substituted for proof. Raw videos are byte-identical duplicates of the submitted before/after videos.

All image dimensions and PNG hashes agree with their metadata. Independently recomputed all8 Diff0/DiffT images exactly: max-channel RGB delta>0 is magenta, >16 is amber; no unrelated changed header/composer/right-panel pixels. The 'what else changed' list agrees with visible geometry, including its disclosed narrow fade/clipping. Markdown columns link the exact requested SHAs. No 'ring survives' or 'under the chip' claims exist in this scoped matrix/current body.

Rebuild: fresh T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0 vp run dev at head using retained recovered thread, not a second Codex run. Copies of uploaded rpc-driver/browser-driver/capture-stills wrote to rerender-20261103T012040Z; only output root and iteration list changed to select one1440x900 light still.

No code edits, tests rerun, pushes, PR comments or PR body edits. Existing test logs were audited; fresh runtime rerender was executed. Server session69713 stopped with Ctrl-C (exit130), both15866/7826 listeners gone; original failed background launch PID4047635 is gone. Browser tab closed. Worktree remains clean; lead's worktree and evidence were not removed. Disk17GB available. Completed within45minute budget, all scoped evidence inspected.

FRICTION:
- tool | Browser panel was Chromium156/DPR2 while delivered proof requires Chromium148/DPR1; used the user-requested uploaded driver for the pixel comparison | Rebuild through supplied driver, or expose matching browser version/DPR controls.

VERDICT: INSUFFICIENT B0/V1-390x844-light, B0/V1-390x844-dark
