Comments in library/ and internal/ that quoted a person, attributed a decision to one, used first person,
named fleet agents or carried private host names now state the same technical fact in neutral words:
poster-render (including the comments it writes into generated posters), packet-render, the poster and
research scripts, PosterWall, DataTable, the legends, the layouts and the gates. The network-policy note
states the policy itself. Behaviour is unchanged: a few printed gate messages and reason labels drop an
agent name, the poster-render integrity pin follows its comment-only edit, and series.json changes only in
its _meta and _why notes. The historical poster design snapshots (library/scripts/posters/snapshots/),
which nothing reads, are removed.
Two fixes from measuring what I had only modelled.
1. THE ROW RENDERED 81px AGAINST A 73.25px MODEL. rega measured it: no
box-sizing, so the declared height was the CONTENT box and the 6px padding
plus 1px border were added outside it. Because `top` still advanced by the
modelled height, every row overlapped its successor by the difference. The
stack still fitted the sheet -- it ended 8px inside the 60px bottom margin
instead of on it -- so nothing clipped, nothing ran off the page, and no
headless check could see it. box-sizing:border-box makes the declared
height the rendered height. The ladder still fits: the content box is
66.25px and a name plus two lines at the default 17px needs 61.8px.
2. THE OFFLINE GENERATOR WOULD HAVE PRINTED A ONE-CLAUSE DESCRIPTION. Its
fetch never asked for primary_language or imb_gsec -- measured on the
cached records, 0 of 2107 carried either, while country_code_label was
present on all 2107. So the browser packet printed two full sentences and
the offline packet printed "The Amahuaca live in Peru." from the same data.
Same defect class as the comment already above that field list: it reads as
missing DATA and is missing FIELDS.
The generator now injects the describer too, deliberately WITHOUT a country
resolver: library/utils/countryName.js cannot be imported under node at all
(it imports JSON without an import attribute -- measured), which is the
constraint that made this seam an injection. It is not needed, because
describeGroup falls back to country_code_label and every cached record has
one. Verified end to end: 28 packets, 63 sentences on the first page, zero
fallbacks, country localized correctly.
The gate now budgets against the CONTENT box rather than the declared
height, asserts the DEFAULT 17px step fits and not merely the smallest, and
pins box-sizing in the source -- mutation-tested: removing border-box fails
with its own message.
Brief A1 item 1. The 2x10 card grid becomes 20 full-width rows, each one
picture | generated localized description | three prayer checkboxes.
PER_PAGE stays 20, so this changes the layout SHAPE and not the
pagination -- which is what lets check-packet-render's dropped-groups
assertion keep passing unrelaxed. That assertion refuses a +/-1 tolerance
because slack is exactly where a lost list page hides, so a rewrite
needing it loosened would be the wrong rewrite.
The description column is ~1036px. An entire card in the old grid was
683px, so the sentence alone is 50% wider than a whole card was; that is
the point, since a generated sentence needs width a name and two metadata
lines did not.
The geometry closes with ZERO SLACK -- 20 rows plus 19 gutters fill the
sheet to exactly the bottom margin. That is the finding, not the
reassurance: a description wrapping to a third line overflows by ~16px.
Hence FIT BEFORE CLAMP: step 17 -> 15 -> 14px, and truncate at a WHOLE
WORD only as a last resort, because a mid-word cut reads as a rendering
fault rather than an editorial one -- especially inside a people-group's
name, where a reader cannot tell it from a misspelling.
Deterministic by character count, never a DOM measure, because this module
runs under Node for the offline generator as well as in the browser. The
0.52em advance is deliberately wider than Georgia's true ~0.50 so a locale
wider than English is absorbed by the estimate rather than by an overflow.
Measured against the real catalogue, every shipped locale fits at full
size -- German is longest at 178 chars against a 234 budget -- so the
ladder is insurance, not routine.
describeGroup is INJECTED, not imported: its country resolver reaches a
Vite-only alias and imports JSON without an attribute, which would make
every `node internal/check-*.mjs` unrunnable. usePosterPrints composes it
on the browser path and tolerates its absence, so a packet that cannot
resolve a describer still prints, degrading to the metadata line.
check-profile-table.mjs was mutation-tested, and two of my own assertions
were dead. "The rows close on the bottom margin" is a TAUTOLOGY -- the row
height is derived by dividing the page by PER_PAGE, so it holds for any
row count; a 21-row mutant sailed through it. It is replaced by the real
constraint, that a row stays tall enough for its content (fires at 24
rows). And the word-aware check fed 'word word word', where a mid-word cut
is indistinguishable from a clean one; with distinct words it now names the
broken token.
