The code cited its plan instead of saying why: `E28 review J4`, `(R6 S3b)`, `S1 justified…`,
`deep-review round 5`. That plan lives in the private ops repo, so for every reader of this one the
citation was noise, and a sentence whose subject was the plan step ("round 2 showed…") hid its
lesson behind an id. Each one is gone and the "why" kept: a bare citation is deleted, a sentence
carrying a lesson is reworded around it ("a later attempt showed…").
Measured (`scripts/audit_metrics.py`, product code): 652 lines in 270 files carried an epic code by
the definition the next commit holds (507 / 241 by the old, two-digit-only one) -> 0. Across all
code, tests, scripts and configs: ~1100 epic-code lines plus ~320 sprint/round ids.
Behaviour unchanged, checked mechanically: every changed .py file has the same AST once docstrings
are blanked; css/sh/toml/yml/json files are identical once comments are stripped; the only
non-comment changes in TS/JS are test titles, one description string in a contract table, and five
ESLint messages, whose text is all the gates snapshot diff holds. Not touched: Markdown (docs and
the changelog keep their history), Alembic migrations, TV episode notation (`S2 · E5`), DESIGN.md
ids (`C1`, `B4`, `S3h`), tracker ids (`SEC-16`, `DX-17`).
One stale claim fixed on the way: test_hls_reaper's docstring said the player checkpoints "every
10 s whether or not it is playing", which plex/stream.py calls wrong; it now says what the code does.
Measured in Chrome before each change:
- A dialog opened from a menu lost its focus: the menu row ran its action
and closed in one batch, and floating-ui's focus return (a microtask)
moved the focus to the row BEHIND the confirm dialog's scrim 7 ms after
it opened, where Enter activated the row. MenuItemList now closes first
and runs the action a task later; the dialog also captures the row, not
a dying menu item, as its restore target.
- A side panel opened as a flyout collapsed the moment a dialog opened
from inside it, unmounting the row the dialog hands the focus back to.
useHoverFocusWithin holds while the focus is inside an aria-modal dialog.
- ui/Button's loading state set native disabled; Chrome moved the focus of
the pressed button to <body> and never gave it back. Loading is now
aria-disabled with a click guard that also cancels implicit submission.
- Escape/Enter in the playlist rail's rename field dropped the focus on
<body>. The row refocuses from its ref callback when it re-attaches (a
post-commit focus sticks; the earlier attempt ran before the button
existed).
- PlayerModal was the one aria-modal shell without the dialog contract:
it is now named by its title, traps Tab, restores the focus to its
opener and shares one counted body scroll lock with every dialog.
