Garry TanandOpenAI Codex 9f81911136 v1.86.0.0 feat: route outside reviews by harness (#2850)
* feat: add a restricted and supervised Claude Code runner

Preserve configured authentication and models while enforcing tool access, strict completion JSON, bounded output and process cleanup. Cover argv, failure handling, session metadata and Windows process containment.

* feat: route outside reviews by harness and migrate wrapper installs

Use Claude Code from Codex and Codex from other supported hosts, with shared invocation rendering, positive gate validation and per-phase provenance. Rename /claude to /claude-code, repair managed shared and copied installations safely, and generate native Kiro skills. Add installed-workflow, failure-injection and live cross-harness regression coverage.

* test: recognize CEO mode labels without terminal spacing

The paid workflow rendered SCOPEEXPANSION at option 4, but its driver required a literal space. Match the leading mode title without cursor-spacing artifacts and ignore adjacent preview text. Preserve missing-target failures and downstream posture assertions.

* test: isolate plan-count fixtures before starting review workflows

Seed the complete test plan in a private git repository before launching Claude, so a bare slash command cannot review the live workspace while a delayed fixture message remains queued. Preserve count thresholds, parsers and budgets. Add initial-context and installed-discovery tests, and retain startup/terminal diagnostics on failed evaluations.

* test: stabilize review fixtures and Claude eval startup

Preserve source boundaries in workflow judge inputs, isolate CEO mode plans, and wait for interactive trust input readiness. Keep startup failure evidence and retain existing models, budgets, and assertions.

* test: classify collapsed review modes and isolate seeded findings

Keep review questions out of the setup count when terminal cursor positioning removes spaces. State existing webhook safeguards so the five-finding control measures its seeded defects without accidental extra security and concurrency gaps. Preserve question bands and the paired control.

* chore: prepare v1.82.0.0 release

Co-Authored-By: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com>

* fix: eliminate browser and process-cleanup test flakes

Pin every CI surface to Bun 1.4.0 to avoid extra-stdio finalizers closing
reused live sockets. Add an isolated GC/listener regression that fails on
Bun 1.3.13, and prevent coordinated rollback to an affected CI runtime.

Check renderer cleanup against the render's own staging directory so
concurrent renders cannot invalidate the assertion. Make the no-pgrep
process-tree walk tolerate disappearing /proc entries, and synchronize
its test fixture through child readiness and pipe EOF instead of sleeps.

Validation: 9,157 passed, 31 skipped, zero failures across 556 files with
retries disabled. Build, all-host generation freshness, and skill checks
passed. All three races have failing-before/passing-after regressions.

* fix: count completed native review questions in evals

* fix: drive review navigation from confirmed native choices

* fix: require complete section-loading eval reports

* test: isolate telemetry HTTP transport from local assertions

* fix: keep review input on the active native question

* test: let tunnel revocation daemon choose an available port

* test: allocate available ports for pairing and watchdog fixtures

* fix: stabilize planning eval navigation and phase reporting

* test: isolate installed runtime paths in planning evals

* test: stabilize review evidence and concurrent refresh fixtures

* fix: resolve design findings before editing the plan

* fix: honor and persist disabled outside plan reviews

* fix: preserve planning decisions and terminal evidence

Load installed host reviews at autoplan phase entry and wait for completed
reviewers and saved artifacts. Reuse approved remedies while preserving
individual finding decisions.

Drive interactive evals from the current terminal viewport, bind native
questions across scrolling, and require complete native report evidence.
Cover captured stale menus, permission lifecycles, setup classification,
and disabled-review tool availability with deterministic regressions.

Advance release metadata and the upgrade migration to the unclaimed
1.83.0.0 slot.

* fix: drive native review questions and preserve current plans

Use the native single-choice keyboard protocol and current terminal viewport,
with per-question navigation inside packets and completed-call coverage.
Keep permissions, multi-select menus, and Submit controls distinct.

Send Autoplan reviewers the amended implementation plan, keep its review record
separate, and supply retained application contracts in the chain fixture.
Clarify individual DevEx decisions and complete CEO fix options; use one active
plan destination for the section-loading report.

* chore: advance queued release to v1.84.0.0

* fix: preserve complete review inputs and planning decisions

* fix: reconcile review approvals and preserve phase obligations

* fix: preserve review obligations and unblock eval permissions

Carry recorded Autoplan requirements into blind phase inputs, require Eng
review approvals before exit, and exercise combined asynchronous flows in
CEO reviews. Correct native finding and handoff classification and unblock
repeated report edits using scoped request identities.

* fix: retain plan requirements and complete native review dialogs

* fix: complete native review prompts and retain plan references

* fix: preserve review inputs and classify native eval evidence

* fix: check competing completion orders in CEO reviews

* fix: recognize review decisions and require phase methodology

Require the current phase methodology before Autoplan snapshots. Correct
substantive decision, closed handoff, and cache-finding classification, and
honor the recommended implementation approach in native review dialogs.

Add captured-transcript regressions without changing review thresholds,
provider models, retries, or deadlines.

one-request approval when a preceding command display remains visible.
Keep reviews within their existing size limits and preserve scope gates
when extracting workflow fixtures from either supported preamble header.

Keep failure outcomes, review thresholds, provider choices, and eval budgets.

* fix: recover review workflow progress and eval evidence

* docs: update project documentation for v1.85.0.0

Co-Authored-By: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com>

* test: fix Windows CI fixtures and credential scan

Rebase captured JSON values and filesystem evidence using the appropriate
path convention. Compile native fake CLIs on Windows and synchronize pipe
holder readiness, with cleanup retained when assertions fail.

Assemble synthetic credential fixtures at runtime so the added-line scan
keeps enforcing the same gate without flagging its own rejection controls.

Discover generated skills directly for the empty-find regression check,
avoiding a recursive scan through saved evaluation artifacts and dependencies.

* fix: preserve source renders on Windows

Compare canonical generator paths using native separators so an output
sidecar pointing at the source cannot overwrite its skill or metadata.
Keep the regression fixture isolated from the real checkout and expose
freshness diagnostics before asserting subprocess status.

Detach Windows drain-test pipe holders from the fake provider's automatic
child cleanup while preserving the enclosing runner job and its assertions.

* fix: clarify outside review fallback and CEO decisions

Render one applicable own-harness fallback path and retain native review,
disabled policy, and missing-coverage semantics. Align report field names
and mode labels, and make the existing per-cut scope approval explicit.

Regenerate skill outputs and keep the workflow judge's model, thresholds,
and retry policy unchanged.

* chore: move release to free version slot (v1.86.0.0)

PR #2852 now claims v1.85.0.0. Align the release metadata and
rename migration so upgrades from that version still receive it.

* fix: include engineering review prerequisites and restore branch context

* fix: recognize coverage diagrams and clarify design review instructions

* fix: preserve file identities and join Windows test processes

"content": "# Design Review: Settings Page UI Redesign\n\n**Plan source:** PLAN.md \n**Design system:** DESIGN.md (exists \u2014 all decisions calibrate against it) \n**Review type:** Text-only (7 design dimensions) \n**Date:** 2026-09-09\n\n---\n\n## Pre-Review System Audit\n\n**DESIGN.md:** EXISTS. All 5 documented gaps have exact prescribed tokens in DESIGN.md.\n\n**UI scope:** Settings form \u2014 Profile (Display name, Email) and Notifications (Weekly digest, Product tips). Existing shell, components, and behaviors in place.\n\n**Existing components to reuse:** Button, Field, InlineStatus, ErrorSummary, ConfirmationDialog, form skeleton.\n\n**Prior reviews:** None on file.\n\n**Retrospective:** No prior design review cycles \u2014 treat this as a first pass with full rigor.\n\n---\n\n## Step 0: Design Scope Assessment\n\n**Initial rating: 5/10**\n\nThe plan is a 5 because it specifies the structural shell and behavioral semantics well but treats its 5 implementation gaps as a problem list rather than a specification. Every gap names a deficiency; none prescribes the fix. DESIGN.md contains the exact tokens for all 5 \u2014 they just haven't been woven into the plan.\n\nA **10** looks like: each gap section replaced with a concrete fix citing the DESIGN.md token; a scan-path description added to the IA section; interaction states expressed as a table; a journey storyboard covering the emotional arc.\n\n**DESIGN.md status:** DESIGN.md found and read. All design decisions calibrate against it.\n\n**Existing leverage:**\n- `Button` \u2014 handles primary/ghost variant distinction\n- `Field` \u2014 handles label-above-input layout\n- `InlineStatus` \u2014 handles role=status, aria-live, \"Saved at HH:mm\" and \"Unsaved changes\"\n- `ErrorSummary` \u2014 handles linked field errors\n- `ConfirmationDialog` \u2014 handles Reset and Cancel dialogs\n- Form skeleton \u2014 handles initial loading state\n\n**Focus:** User pre-specified all 7 dimensions. Proceeding without narrowing.\n\n---\n\n## Pass 1: Information Architecture\n\n**Initial rating: 7/10 \u2192 9/10 after fix**\n\n**Finding 1.1 (approved): Add scan path specification.**\n\nThe plan's DOM order diagram is correct but silent on visual attention hierarchy. The Visual Hierarchy gap names \"nothing tells the user which is the primary action\" \u2014 that's an IA failure, not just a styling problem. Save should be the dominant element the user's eye lands on after orienting.\n\n**Fix added to plan:**\n> Scan path: 1st \u2014 Account settings h1 + description (orientation, anchors context). 2nd \u2014 Save button (primary CTA; visual weight signals \"this is what you do here\"). 3rd \u2014 Profile fieldset (first editable area). 4th \u2014 Notifications fieldset. The InlineStatus sits between the action group and Profile, so it is in-path for status feedback without interrupting the task flow.\n\n**What already exists:** DOM order and heading hierarchy are correctly specified. h1/h2 structure and the ASCII diagram in the plan are correct; no change needed there.\n\n**Remaining gap (residual, 1pt):** The scan path fix anchors the IA, but the action group's visual weight is still not described in IA terms until the Visual Hierarchy gap receives its design-system fix (Pass 5).\n\n---\n\n## Pass 2: Interaction State Coverage\n\n**Initial rating: 7/10 \u2192 9/10 after fixes**\n\n**Interaction state table (existing + fixes):**\n\n| Feature | Loading | Empty | Error | Success | Pending/Partial |\n|---------|---------|-------|-------|---------|-----------------|\n| Page initial | Skeleton (existing) | Defaults for new account | Retry shown | \u2014 | \u2014 |\n| Save | \u2014 | \u2014 | \"Unsaved changes\" + error message; edits preserved | \"Saved at HH:mm\" (aria-live) | Inline spinner beside \"Saving\u2026\" inside disabled Save button, aria-busy=true, reduced-motion-aware \u2190 **Fix 2.1** |\n| Field | \u2014 | \u2014 | Error beside field + ErrorSummary (linked via aria-describedby); first invalid field focused | \u2014 | \u2014 |\n| Reset | \u2014 | \u2014 | \u2014 | Restores \"Saved at HH:mm\" for last save | \u2014 |\n| Cancel (dirty) | \u2014 | \u2014 | \u2014 | Returns to previous page | \u2014 |\n| Export | \u2014 | \u2014 | Inline error near Export button (reuse InlineStatus error pattern) \u2190 **Fix 2.2** | Downloads JSON blob | \u2014 |\n| Network (save) | \u2014 | \u2014 | \"Unsaved changes\" retained + Retry in status area | \u2014 | \u2014 |\n\n**Finding 2.1 (approved): Replace vague \"spinner or skeleton state\" with DESIGN.md spec.**\n\nFix: \"The Save pending state shows an inline spinner beside 'Saving\u2026' text inside the disabled Save button. The button carries aria-busy=true. When prefers-reduced-motion is set, the spinner is hidden and 'Saving\u2026' text alone conveys state.\"\n\n**Finding 2.2 (approved): Add Export error state.**\n\nFix: \"On Export failure, show an inline error message near the Export button using the existing InlineStatus error pattern. This preserves the user's position on the page and makes the failure recoverable.\"\n\n**No finding:** Validation errors reference \"exact existing DESIGN.md patterns\" \u2014 DESIGN.md specifies ErrorSummary + field-level inline errors + aria-describedby linkage + focus-first-invalid-field. Sufficient for an implementer reading both documents.\n\n---\n\n## Pass 3: User Journey & Emotional Arc\n\n**Rating: 7/10 \u2192 8/10 after storyboard**\n\n**Storyboard (derived from accepted requirements \u2014 no new decisions):**\n\n| Step | User does | User feels | Plan specifies? |\n|------|-----------|------------|-----------------|\n| 1 | Arrives from account navigation | Purposeful; oriented (\"I'm in the right place\") | h1 \"Account settings\" + description \u2713; persistent nav \u2713 |\n| 2 | Scans page (h1 \u2192 action group \u2192 Profile/Notifications) | Competent; fields look familiar | Scan path now specified (Fix 1.1) \u2713 |\n| 3 | Reads current field values | Reassured (server defaults present) or slightly scrutinizing | Server defaults for new account \u2713; editable via existing Field component \u2713 |\n| 4 | Edits a field | Focused; confident | Labels above fields \u2713; InlineStatus shifts to \"Unsaved changes\" immediately \u2713 |\n| 5 | Sees \"Unsaved changes\" status | Informed; no anxiety about losing work | InlineStatus (role=status, aria-live=polite, aria-atomic=true) \u2713 |\n| 6 | Clicks Save | Intent, then a beat of uncertainty (2-5s is long enough to notice) | Spinner + \"Saving\u2026\" + disabled button (Fix 2.1) \u2713 after fix |\n| 7 | Sees \"Saved at HH:mm\" | Confident, relieved; trust in the system | Persistent InlineStatus \u2713; 24h local time \u2713 |\n| 8 | Considers leaving (dirty or clean) | Clean: just closes. Dirty: pauses | ConfirmationDialog for Cancel if dirty \u2713; Escape cancels \u2713 |\n\n**5-second visceral:** Landing. The h1 + description + action group orientation is spec'd. The primary action (Save) will be visually dominant after Fix 5.1 (Pass 5). Currently the page reads as four equal buttons \u2014 the first impression is flat.\n\n**5-minute behavioral:** The edit-save loop is well designed. InlineStatus dirty tracking prevents silent data loss. The save-pending state gap (now fixed) was the one place the behavioral flow broke.\n\n**5-year reflective:** The \"Saved at HH:mm\" timestamp builds cumulative trust. Users who return will see their saved timestamp and know this system is reliable.\n\n**Gap in plan (storyboard exposes):** Step 2's scan path was missing (fixed in Pass 1). Step 6's pending state was vague (fixed in Pass 2). No new decisions surfaced by the storyboard; all fixes are derived from accepted requirements and DESIGN.md.\n\n---\n\n## Pass 4: AI Slop Risk\n\n**Rating: 9/10 \u2014 no hard rejections, no AI slop patterns**\n\n**Classifier:** APP UI (settings form, task-focused, single-column, data-dense).\n\n**Hard rejection check:** All 7 hard rejection criteria evaluated \u2014 none apply. This is a functional form, not a landing page or card-grid dashboard.\n\n**Litmus checks:**\n\n| Check | Verdict | Notes |\n|-------|---------|-------|\n| Brand/product unmistakable? | NOT SPEC'D | App chrome is out of this plan's scope |\n| One strong visual anchor? | YES (after fix) | Save button becomes #1d4ed8 filled primary via Pass 5 fix |\n| Scannable by headlines only? | YES | h1 \"Account settings\" \u2192 h2 \"Profile\" \u2192 h2 \"Notifications\" \u2713 |\n| Each section one job? | YES | Profile \u2260 Notifications; no mixing \u2713 |\n| Cards necessary? | N/A | No cards \u2014 fieldsets used correctly \u2713 |\n| Motion improves hierarchy? | YES | Spinner communicates pending state, not decoration \u2713 |\n| Premium without decorative shadows? | YES | Clean form, no ornamental elements described \u2713 |\n\n**AI slop blacklist:** None of the 10 patterns apply. The plan describes specific, intentional form UI: named components, exact tokens, behavioral specifications.\n\n**One note:** DESIGN.md specifies font sizes (16px/20px) but not the typeface. The universal rule \"no default font stacks\" applies. Since this plan reuses existing components, the app's established typeface applies \u2014 this is a DESIGN.md gap, not this plan's gap. Flagged in \"Not in scope\" section.\n\n---\n\n## Pass 5: Design System Alignment\n\n**Initial rating: 4/10**\n\nDESIGN.md exists and has exact tokens for all 5 documented gaps. The plan's \"Planned implementation gaps\" section lists each gap as a problem statement only \u2014 no fix, no DESIGN.md token reference. A plan that identifies a gap without prescribing its fix is half-done.\n\n**Gap 5 (Motion) is already resolved** via the Pass 2 fix (DESIGN.md spinner spec added). Gaps 1\u20134 approved below.\n\n**Finding 5.1 (approved): Visual Hierarchy \u2192 DESIGN.md fix applied.**\nFix: \"Save is the only filled primary action: `#1d4ed8` background with white text, using the existing Button primary variant. Reset, Cancel, and Export are neutral ghost buttons using the existing Button ghost variant. Destructive intent for Reset and Cancel is communicated through the existing ConfirmationDialog text, not the button color.\"\n\n**Finding 5.2 (approved): Spacing \u2192 DESIGN.md scale applied.**\nFix: \"Vertical rhythm uses an 8px base: between sections (Profile and Notifications fieldsets) = 32px; between field groups within a section = 24px; between label and its input = 8px. Remove the inconsistent 16px gap currently present.\"\n\n**Finding 5.3 (approved): Color \u2192 DESIGN.md tokens applied.**\nFix: \"Error state uses `error.text = #991b1b` on `error.surface = #fef2f2`, always accompanied by an error icon and explicit text label. Status is never communicated through color alone. This pair meets WCAG AA contrast.\"\n\n**Finding 5.4 (approved): Typography \u2192 two-role system applied.**\nFix: \"Typography uses exactly two roles: 16px for body text, form labels, and helper text; 20px for section headings (Profile, Notifications h2). Remove 14px and 18px entirely. No third size.\"\n\n**Pass 5 final rating: 4/10 \u2192 9/10 after all 4 fixes.**\n\n---\n\n## Pass 6: Responsive & Accessibility\n\n**Rating: 9/10 \u2192 10/10 after fix**\n\n**What the plan specifies well (no changes):**\n- 640px breakpoint for action group layout \u2713\n- Mobile: full-width Save first, three secondary below, DOM/tab order preserved \u2713\n- 320px no horizontal scroll \u2713\n- 44px minimum touch targets \u2713\n- 2px solid `#1d4ed8` focus ring, offset 2px, contrast >3:1 on all controls and dialog actions \u2713\n- Semantic fieldsets, labels, main landmark, h1/h2 heading order, no heading skips \u2713\n- aria-describedby linking errors to fields \u2713\n- InlineStatus: role=status, aria-live=polite, aria-atomic=true \u2713\n- Dialogs trap focus; Escape cancels \u2713\n- Reduced motion respected \u2713\n- aria-busy=true on Save button during pending (covered by Pass 2 fix) \u2713\n\n**Finding 6.1 (approved): Dialog focus restoration target clarified.**\nFix: \"Dialogs restore focus to the button that triggered them (Reset returns focus to the Reset button; Cancel returns focus to the Cancel button) when closed by any means (Escape, 'Keep editing', 'Discard changes', 'Discard and leave').\"\n\n---\n\n## Pass 7: Unresolved Design Decisions\n\n**Initial: 2 unresolved \u2192 0 after decisions**\n\n| Decision needed | If deferred, what happens |\n|-----------------|--------------------------|\n| Retry placement: inside vs. adjacent to InlineStatus | Implementer makes an ad-hoc call; may pick wrong a11y pattern |\n| Mobile secondary layout: row vs. stacked | Implementer guesses; may use full-width stack that feels heavy |\n\n**Decision 7.1 (resolved): Retry inside InlineStatus.**\nFix: \"The Retry control for network errors appears as a button inside the InlineStatus live region. With aria-atomic=true, the entire region ('Unsaved changes [Retry]') is announced as one unit when updated.\"\n\n**Decision 7.2 (resolved): Mobile secondary layout = single row.**\nFix: \"Below 640px, Reset, Cancel, and Export appear in a single row below the full-width Save button. Each secondary button uses compact padding to fit three buttons within the 320px minimum viewport while meeting the 44px touch-target height requirement.\"\n\n---\n\n## Required Outputs\n\n### What already exists\n\n| Component | Purpose in this plan |\n|-----------|---------------------|\n| `Button` (primary variant) | Save action \u2014 `#1d4ed8` filled with white text |\n| `Button` (ghost variant) | Reset, Cancel, Export |\n| `Field` | Display name, Email, Weekly digest, Product tips |\n| `InlineStatus` | \"Saved at HH:mm\", \"Unsaved changes\", network error + Retry |\n| `ErrorSummary` | Linked validation error summary |\n| `ConfirmationDialog` | Reset (\"Discard unsaved changes?\") and Cancel (\"Discard and leave?\") |\n| Form skeleton | Initial loading state |\n| Focus-visible ring | 2px solid `#1d4ed8`, offset 2px \u2014 applied to all controls and dialog actions |\n\n### NOT in scope\n\n| Item | Rationale |\n|------|-----------|\n| Typeface selection for design system | DESIGN.md specifies font sizes but not typeface. The existing app typeface applies. Fixing the missing typeface spec is app-wide DESIGN.md debt \u2014 tracked below in TODOS. |\n| Navigation / page chrome design | Out of scope; persistent app nav is an existing shell component. |\n| New component families | Plan explicitly reuses existing components; no new ones. |\n| Visual exploration of layout alternatives | Single-column structure is an approved constraint. |\n\n### TODOS.md updates\n\n**Proposed TODO \u2014 DESIGN.md typeface gap:**\n\n- **What:** Add a typeface specification to DESIGN.md (e.g., \"Geist Mono\" or whatever the app uses).\n- **Why:** The universal design rule \"no default font stacks\" applies. DESIGN.md currently specifies sizes (16px/20px) but not the typeface. Without this, the form may render in system-ui or whatever the browser defaults to.\n- **Pros:** Closes the last typography ambiguity. Prevents future components from drifting to different stacks.\n- **Cons:** Requires an app-wide decision that's larger than this PR.\n- **Context:** This is DESIGN.md debt, not a gap in the settings plan itself. All settings-page specs are complete.\n- **Depends on:** None \u2014 purely additive to DESIGN.md.\n\n---\n\n## Implementation Tasks\n\nSynthesized from this review's findings.

"content": "# Design Review: Settings Page UI Redesign\n\n**Plan source:** PLAN.md \n**Design system:** DESIGN.md (exists \u2014 all decisions calibrate against it) \n**Review type:** Text-only (7 design dimensions) \n**Date:** 2026-09-09\n\n---\n\n## Pre-Review System Audit\n\n**DESIGN.md:** EXISTS. All 5 documented gaps have exact prescribed tokens in DESIGN.md.\n\n**UI scope:** Settings form \u2014 Profile (Display name, Email) and Notifications (Weekly digest, Product tips). Existing shell, components, and behaviors in place.\n\n**Existing components to reuse:** Button, Field, InlineStatus, ErrorSummary, ConfirmationDialog, form skeleton.\n\n**Prior reviews:** None on file.\n\n**Retrospective:** No prior design review cycles \u2014 treat this as a first pass with full rigor.\n\n---\n\n## Step 0: Design Scope Assessment\n\n**Initial rating: 5/10**\n\nThe plan is a 5 because it specifies the structural shell and behavioral semantics well but treats its 5 implementation gaps as a problem list rather than a specification. Every gap names a deficiency; none prescribes the fix. DESIGN.md contains the exact tokens for all 5 \u2014 they just haven't been woven into the plan.\n\nA **10** looks like: each gap section replaced with a concrete fix citing the DESIGN.md token; a scan-path description added to the IA section; interaction states expressed as a table; a journey storyboard covering the emotional arc.\n\n**DESIGN.md status:** DESIGN.md found and read. All design decisions calibrate against it.\n\n**Existing leverage:**\n- `Button` \u2014 handles primary/ghost variant distinction\n- `Field` \u2014 handles label-above-input layout\n- `InlineStatus` \u2014 handles role=status, aria-live, \"Saved at HH:mm\" and \"Unsaved changes\"\n- `ErrorSummary` \u2014 handles linked field errors\n- `ConfirmationDialog` \u2014 handles Reset and Cancel dialogs\n- Form skeleton \u2014 handles initial loading state\n\n**Focus:** User pre-specified all 7 dimensions. Proceeding without narrowing.\n\n---\n\n## Pass 1: Information Architecture\n\n**Initial rating: 7/10**\n\n"

Dirty: pauses | ConfirmationDialog for Cancel if dirty \u2713; Escape cancels \u2713 |\n\n**5-second visceral:** Landing. The h1 + description + action group orientation is spec'd. The primary action (Save) will be visually dominant after Fix 5.1 (Pass 5). Currently the page reads as four equal buttons \u2014 the first impression is flat.\n\n**5-minute behavioral:** The edit-save loop is well designed. InlineStatus dirty tracking prevents silent data loss. The save-pending state gap (now fixed) was the one place the behavioral flow broke.\n\n**5-year reflective:** The \"Saved at HH:mm\" timestamp builds cumulative trust. Users who return will see their saved timestamp and know this system is reliable.\n\n**Gap in plan (storyboard exposes):** Step 2's scan path was missing (fixed in Pass 1). Step 6's pending state was vague (fixed in Pass 2). No new decisions surfaced by the storyboard; all fixes are derived from accepted requirements and DESIGN.md.\n\n---\n\n## Pass 4: AI Slop Risk\n\n**Rating: 9/10**\n\n"

DESIGN.md currently specifies sizes (16px/20px) but not the typeface. Without this, the form may render in system-ui or whatever the browser defaults to.\n- **Pros:** Closes the last typography ambiguity. Prevents future components from drifting to different stacks.\n- **Cons:** Requires an app-wide decision that's larger than this PR.\n- **Context:** This is DESIGN.md debt, not a gap in the settings plan itself. All settings-page specs are complete.\n- **Depends on:** None \u2014 purely additive to DESIGN.md.\n\n---\n\n## Implementation Tasks\n\nSynthesized from this review's findings. Each derives from a specific finding above.\n\n- [ ] **T1 (P1, human: ~30min / CC: ~5min)** \u2014 Button \u2014 Apply primary vs. ghost variant to action group\n - Surfaced by: Pass 5 / Finding 5.1 \u2014 Save has same visual treatment as Reset/Cancel/Export\n - Files: action group component or settings page template\n - Verify: Save renders `#1d4ed8` filled; Reset/Cancel/Export render ghost. Visually confirm in browser.\n\n- [ ] **T2 (P1, human: ~30min / CC: ~5min)** \u2014 Spacing \u2014 Normalize section/field-group/label spacing to 8px scale\n - Surfaced by: Pass 5 / Finding 5.2 \u2014 24px/32px/16px used inconsistently\n - Files: settings page stylesheet or CSS-in-JS tokens\n - Verify: sections 32px, field groups 24px, label-to-input 8px \u2014 no other values present.\n\n- [ ] **T3 (P1, human: ~30min / CC: ~5min)** \u2014 Color \u2014 Replace error color pair with `#991b1b` / `#fef2f2`\n - Surfaced by: Pass 5 / Finding 5.3 \u2014 current error contrast \u2248 3:1 (below WCAG AA)\n - Files: error component stylesheet / design token file\n - Verify: Automated contrast check \u2265 4.5:1 on error text.
