+/* ★ NOTICES SIT BELOW THE DRAFT IN THE CORNER PANEL, for the same reason they do on a phone: the
+   panel is short, and an engine-offline notice is several lines, so above the draft it eats the room
+   the draft needs. This used to say `order: 0`, which SILENTLY CANCELLED the phone rule below —
+   `.compact .notice` is (0,2,0) and the media query's `.notice` is (0,1,0), and a media query adds no
+   specificity, so the more specific rule won at every width and the notice stayed on top. The phone
+   rule (bac2431d0, 19:59) was already there; the corner widget (4e94e9216, 21:58) overrode it two
+   hours later without meaning to. Ordering it here fixes the widget at EVERY width, not only under
+   480px, because the corner panel is short regardless of the viewport. No floor is involved: a floor
+   is what clipped the draft in the first place. */

+/* ★ AND THE NOTICE YIELDS. Ordering it below the draft fixes the reading order but NOT the height:
+   .notice is flex:0 1 auto and .compact .compose is flex:1 1 0, so the draft still gives up whatever
+   the notice's content asks for. rega measured the result at 375x450 — a 20px draft whose wheel moves
+   nothing. The engine-offline notice is the long one (apiBase, Go 1.22, the setup command), ~132px at
+   375 and ~179px at 390, and it is REFERENCE text: a reader needs it once, not a third of a short
+   panel forever. Capping it and letting it scroll gives the draft 58px at 375x450 and 124px at
+   390x560, measured against the 60vh panel the corner widget actually gets (plugin-studio.vue:466),
+   not the viewport — sizing off the viewport is what made my first estimate wrong by 58px.
+   Again: no floor anywhere. A floor is what clipped the draft to begin with. */
