Native still recapture for [#28097](https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/pull/28097), lead-28097-r2, fs-32.
**Outside the PR title:** Diff0 exposes small native status-glyph, navigation/text-edge and composer-shadow rasterization differences at or below 8/255. DiffT (>8/255) contains only the changed privacy guidance and the warning/card layout it moves. No “nothing else changed” claim is made.
Captured **13/13 before/after still pairs**, across seven phone/theme cases. These replace the rejected native stills, not the 14 accepted recordings. The recording links, encoded timestamps, milestone sheets and neighbor-frame review links below are inherited verbatim from the accepted native report; no new recordings were made.
Before: [eef35b0](https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/commit/eef35b0262f24e83ef09cd4d2a59b4baed1c2581). After: [8d1ec13](https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/commit/8d1ec13ca126532d1ec083f62e15985f756a2bb8). Each ran from its own detached checkout, through the actual React Native app and production RPC against three fresh synthetic backends. T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0; fake HOME, Grok CLI and fetch preload; no live T3 data read or copied. Single has one privacy account; A/B each have three privacy accounts, one successful Weekly 73% account and one generic forbidden account. A supplies the composer thread. No component harness was used.
Application JavaScript Date is frozen at 2026-11-03T00:00:00Z. Every still uses `agent-device screenshot --normalize-status-bar`. Each accepted still has two consecutive, pixel-identical RGB screenshots separated by a 500ms inter-command wait. Screenshots are full surfaces, without cropping, masking or pixel editing. iOS Reduce Motion and Prefer Non-Blinking Cursor were enabled on both revisions; Android animation scales were zero. Theme, text, IME and scroll state match within each pair. Recording conditions remain those documented in the inherited report.
Diff0 is absolute per-channel RGB delta amplified ×16 and clamped at255, with zero threshold. DiffT highlights max-channel delta >8/255 in pink over a dim baseline. Every before, after, Diff0 and DiffT was visually reviewed together; threshold checks also verified zero changed pixels in status/header and, for composer rows, composer/keyboard regions.
What else changed, re-derived from the new stills:
- M2: privacy notices now carry the xAI Privacy Mode instruction, including the environment prefix when both A and B are selected. Longer text wraps and changes notice height/lower visible content. Generic forbidden notices and Weekly 73% data retain their wording and values.
- M3: the single privacy warning grows upward; its heading and close affordance move with it. With the keyboard visible it covers more of the empty-feed hint. Composer and software keyboard stay in place.
- M4: longer privacy warnings change row heights and move separators, the healthy usage bar and the generic-error card inside the bounded five-card scroller. The bottom state reveals the final privacy warning. The surrounding thread, composer and keyboard remain fixed.
- R1: the initial single-account warning expands to fit the new guidance. Recovery/refresh interactions are covered by the unchanged accepted recordings.
- At zero threshold only, faint native chrome/text-edge/shadow variation remains as disclosed above. No unrelated change exceeds8/255 in the accepted comparisons.

Unverified: none; all 13 assigned still pairs captured and reviewed.
The script archive contains REPRODUCE-STILLS.md, fresh synthetic fixtures, fake Grok CLI/fetch preload, native pairing/seed/theme/clock scripts, still driver, settled-frame acceptance checks, diff builder, accepted manifest and packaging/report drivers. The raw capture archives also contain rejected exploratory samples; only accepted.json and the table above identify accepted evidence. Redacted logs include two-frame settle manifests. No newly recorded videos are included.
Cleanup: both own worktrees removed; all owned backends and Metro stopped; every opened session received an explicit close command. No PR edit, push, comment, source modification or subagent.
FRICTION:
- tool | Public artifact downloads returned403 through urllib; curl worked. | Consistent download support.
- tool | Normalized iOS screenshots still animate the charging glyph; repeated unchanged-state samples were needed for identical consecutive frames. | A nonanimated normalized battery glyph.
- tool | An app-id close released device bindings; reinstalling into an old session exposed a stale Metro target. Fresh named sessions and selecting the newest matching target recovered. | Separate app-close and lease-close semantics, and remove stale CDP targets.
- tool | Android Limits had AX content but briefly painted a blank body; rejected those frames and switched Cost then Limits to repaint. | Consistent native redraw after navigation.
- model | The initial M2 guard treated the warning list as a composer footer and rejected expected text reflow; narrowed it to status/header for M2 and retained full visual diff review. | Apply region checks by page state.
- runbook | iOS enclosing AX switch labels did not toggle Motion preferences; fresh inner switch refs did. | Document the actionable inner refs.
- tool | iOS daemon was temporarily unavailable; retried after the required minute and recovered. Android lease had expired when explicit close was sent. | Stable daemon access and clearer lease-expiry/close feedback.
