Say how CI reads the stale-preview class, since it cannot capture the stills - #175

## Problem

[`ci` run
33516407327](https://github.com/max-sixty/leaf/actions/runs/33516407327)
came back **10 failed, 1614 passed, 6 skipped**. Eight belong to #189,
whose `ci` run was cancelled by #190's push before the nightly leg ever
ran on it. #188's `test_mcp_app.py` case arrived on the same collision
as the MCP test below and is carried here rather than left to red the
next nightly.

The everyday suite that gates a pull request does not run
`test_render_*` or `test_site.py`, so a PR can land its nightly half
unread — which is how these arrived, and how five more have arrived
since, from #193, #194 and #200. `main` has moved a long way under this
branch; the ones it now owns are taken on merge, and three of the new
ones are cleared here. #203 reached `tests/conftest.py`'s
`headless_shell` first, so the four `test_render_commands.py` setup
errors are its.

## Solution

Grouped by cause rather than by test, since several tests share one.

**The example the tests still name.** #189 rewrote
`examples/pr-walkthrough.html` into the Worktrunk review packet, and the
shipped patch is now a collapsed manifest that builds no lines until a
reader opens a file, which the scroller gate read as
`getComputedStyle(null)`. The gate reads the diffs that have drawn
lines, with its own non-vacuity floor kept.

**The new package's chrome and surfaces.** `.lf-pr-description` stacked
a second translucent accent onto a card that is already a tint of one,
and the layer's own `--muted` reads 4.32:1 there; the description now
sits on the raised-surface token. CallDiff's disclosure was a bare
`<button>` rather than an `offer`, so an exported copy kept a hand over
a press nothing can take. Its location anchor carried an `href` on the
header row, which names no location at all — and `reachScrollers` reads
a candidate for a focusable descendant before granting it a stop, so
that hidden anchor answered "there is already a way in here" with a link
nobody can reach, for a box whose words run off the side.

**A reading that counted clipped text as painted.** `coveredWords`
measured each run's whole rect, so an ellipsised name in a narrow column
read as covering its neighbour. It now intersects each run with the
boxes that clip it, stopping at an out-of-flow ancestor where a hidden
overflow further out need not reach. The one test that plants this fault
plants it properly now: the runtime's note is parked in a one-pixel box
with hidden overflow, so opacity alone never put its characters on the
screen.

**Three focus rings the corpus stopped painting.** `code-pre-light` and
`code-pre-shadow` are the tab stops on a scrolling code block and on a
diff's lines, and with the old example gone no example held either. The
page gets one rendered hunk and one code line long enough to scroll.
Then `.lf-diff-review`: it took the outward ring it shared with
`.lf-diff-next`, which stands on its own in the toolbar, while this one
rides a file's summary row inside a box that clips at the row's bottom
edge — its lower run fell 3px past what the sweep can see. It takes the
inset the summary beside it already takes, and splitting the rule made
each half declare the ring name neither had.

**`--diffs-fg-number` on changed rows.** Surfaced by that rendered hunk:
a changed row's number is drawn in the base its own fill is mixed from,
green on green at 4.03:1. Pierre's number overrides now take the layer's
tinted-surface inks.

**A sidebar the page got shorter under.** #190's zero-height ToC anchor
shortened the release page 58px, putting a named `scrollTo(0, 900)` past
the stretch where the box stands on its own offset. Both edges of that
stretch are the page's, so they are read off it, with a floor asserting
the stretch exists before a point halfway along it says anything.

**Playwright's loop against `asyncio.run` and `anyio.run`.**
`sync_playwright()` keeps an asyncio loop running in its thread for its
whole lifetime, and the `browser` fixture is session-scoped per xdist
worker — so an MCP test's own loop start raises in any worker that has
opened a browser and passes in one that has not, leaving the schedule to
decide. Verified directly: `asyncio.events._get_running_loop()` is
`None` before `sync_playwright()`, the loop inside it, `None` after.
`interact_support.run_async` runs the entry point on a thread with no
loop on it, and both MCP modules go through it — #204's three new
exchanges included, since they landed on the direct call while this was
in flight.

**A declared verb no page replayed.** #194 added `lf-diff`'s `review` to
the registry without an event for it on the standing-state page — the
one fixture built so that exactly this fails rather than going
unexercised. It gets a diff and a standing review.

**A focus contract two site tests never heard about.** #193 kept the
response field passive so a drag leaves the browser's own selection
alone and a native copy still has something to take, and aligned the
render tests with it. `test_site.py` is nightly-only. Its label test
turned on `document.activeElement === field`, which is now false for the
page's own words and the site's label alike — the discriminator was
gone, not inverted — so it reads whether the field was offered at all,
which is the difference it was always after.

## Testing

`uv run pytest tests --run-nightly` and `pre-commit run --all-files` on
this head. The everyday suite and lint are green on this branch in CI.
Every claim about what `main` does was taken from a control run of the
same tests in a clean checkout of `main`, not from reading.

The two exported-copy cases each carried four faults, three of them
masked: `offering` asserts before `covered`, which asserts before the
copy's axe run, so each fix uncovered the next. The ring sweep did the
same — the geometry fault stood in front of a naming check that had been
silent about a rule missing its name since it was written.

</details>

<details><summary>Three this leaves, all of them main's</summary>


**`test_render_controls.py::test_examples_have_no_serious_wcag_a_or_aa_violations[pr-walkthrough]`
stays red.** The `.lf-pr-description` contrast above is fixed and
confirmed gone. What holds the test red is 46 `nested-interactive`
findings from #194: each file's "Mark reviewed" `<button>` sits inside
that file's `<summary>`, and a disclosure with a focusable descendant is
a serious WCAG failure. Clearing it means taking the press out of the
disclosure and re-laying the row — `entry.node` is the `<details>` in
ten places, and the theme, print and export rules key on it — which is a
change to that widget's shape with visual verification of its own, not a
line this branch should slip in.


**`test_render_anchors.py::test_a_failed_fragment_hydration_waits_for_a_reader_retry`
fails whenever anything runs before it.** Confirmed on unmodified
`main`: three runs of the file at `-n4`, three failures, and the same
failure at `-n0` over the whole file. It passes alone every time.
`assert len(requests) == 2` sees one — the reopened disclosure's second
fragment fetch never reaches the route. Arrived with #189.


**`test_render_anchors.py::test_a_drag_released_mid_word_hugs_words_and_sentences`
fails over the whole file and passes alone.** `assert 'inside' ==
'inside it'` — the selection did not grow to the word boundary. It looks
like the next instance of what #191 diagnosed, Chromium 151 collapsing a
synthetic range on mouse release.

Also still behind: the gallery's `docs/example-pr-walkthrough.jpg`.
Regenerating here rewrites all nine stills in substituted faces, because
`theme.css` asks for Charter and this runner's `fc-match` has none of
the serif stack — the same reading #175 made. Left for the authoring
machine.
