### R12 — Escape from toolbar, comment, expanded text input and select · guest 1000×700 · dark

Linux x86_64 (fs-06), real Electron 44.9.3 / Chromium 152.0.7977.167 under headless-desktop/Xvfb; no device emulation; full app 1256×780, guest 1000×700 CSS px, DPR 1, zoom 100%, font scaling 100%, dark theme. Fresh isolated home with T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0; synthetic fixture only. The 1256×860 recording adds an 80px narration band below the complete app surface.

All four focus families cancel with Escape. Each pick promise resolves null; the tool attribute, overlay and overlay focus disappear. Nothing attaches. A fresh annotation session opens after each cancellation, including the final reopen after all four.

Read-only focus/tool/pick telemetry: [after-R12-events.json](https://gh-file-drop-api-prod-mi5fy3sowv63ufte.pinglabs.workers.dev/f/804e078333983614/after-R12-events.json). Tested interactions use trusted CDP Input.dispatch* calls in the real Electron guest. The existing desktop bridge starts each annotation session; no tool attribute or overlay is mutated by the driver.

Captions are written before input. Announcements hold 800 ms before dispatch; post-input transition states hold at least 800 ms, then verified result captions hold 1200 ms. All 28 sampled frames across all three contact sheets were inspected against their captions. Full-resolution text-input and select focus/cancellation pairs were also inspected. In particular, the 39.07s sample shows the focused Line height text input with the expanded overlay still present; the 41.89s sample shows the removed overlay and a cancellation caption with focus: page. No sampled INPUT caption survives overlay removal.
