The mask over a stale read lifted when the write settled, before the refetch landed, and the band took the rows back. A band holding only what asks by its kind (an access-requests nudge) left the button enabled with nothing to do. The unread dot was only drawn: the spoken label now says it, apart from the name Back finds the row by, and follows the row while it holds the focus.
The center showed two fixed sections, the server's above this browser's, so an
admin's "access requests waiting" sat under every server row, week-old read
"Download ready" notices among them. One order now, for both sources
(lib/inboxOrder): "Needs you" (unread, an access-requests nudge, a notice
waiting on an interaction), then everything else newest first, and read rows
older than a week fold under "Earlier (n)", closed by default.
A row that asked in this visit keeps its place once read: marking it read no
longer moves it to another list under the reader. Mark all read empties the
band, the client notices of the visit included (the server rows read at once,
not when the write lands). Marking a row read from its button hands the focus
to the row instead of dropping it on <body> as the button goes.
