Part 1 of 2 of the Option C "conservative refresh" (refs #439). This is the theme half:
the token layer #455 built gets rethemed, gains a dark palette, and the head learns a viewport
and a per-run title. Part 2 handles structure — responsive collapse, SVG/status icons for
mixed & unknown, attachment labels — and is deliberately not here.

Today's three-pane identity is kept. Every selector is shared between light and dark; the dark
block overrides token values only, which is exactly what tokenizing bought.

What changed

# Change Where
1 <meta name="viewport">, color-scheme: light dark, explicit background-color/color on html, body head + :root
2 Font stack: pinned "SF Pro Display"system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif (generic family last, so the chain terminates) --font-family-base
3 WCAG contrast fixes — 11 failing pairs → 0 (table below) token values
4 prefers-color-scheme: dark block — 18 token overrides, no selectors new @media block
5 Tab title carries run identity Summary.title + [[TITLE]]
6 Carried nit from #455 review: the false spacing rationale at HTMLTemplates.swift:61 comment

body previously set no background at all — the white canvas was a browser default
(audit finding, confirmed: computed rgba(0,0,0,0) before, rgb(22,22,25) in dark after).
That is what made dark mode impossible to bolt on.

Contrast

Computed with a WCAG 2.1 relative-luminance implementation over every fg/bg pairing whose
tokens this PR touches, named by its CSS consumer. Floors: 4.5:1 normal text, 3:1
large text / UI state.

selection fill vs group header (UI, 3:1) #2170D6 on #202024 3.37

The selection fill is gated against all three backgrounds it can land on, not just the
surface: .device-info.selected sits on the sidebar (and is selected by default on every
load), .list-item.selected on the surface or on a group header. An earlier revision of this
PR listed only the surface pairing and used #1E65C2, which cleared the surface at 3.18 but
was 2.76 against the sidebar and 2.86 against the group header — caught in review, fixed
here. Both themes are now verified against the lightest of the three, which is the binding one.

The pane washes are a different thing and stay ungated: the sidebar and group-header
backgrounds are 1.12:1 and 1.08:1 against the surface, listed by the checker as
informational. They carry no state and no text of their own, and the panes are additionally
separated by a 1px border. WCAG 1.4.11 covers information required to identify components
and states; a decorative wash is neither.

Deviations from the mockup (all deliberate)

  1. --color-accent-text is a new token. The mockup uses one --sel for both the selection
    fill (white text on it) and the active-tab text. Dark cannot satisfy both roles with one
    value — a fill dark enough for white text is too dark to read as text. The mockup's own dark
    --sel: #1e5fbf used as tab text on its dark surface is 2.96:1 against a 4.5 floor.
    Split into fill + text; dark text is #7FB0FF (8.22:1).
  2. Dark selection fill #2170D6, not the mockup's #1E5FBF. The mockup's value is
    2.96:1 against its own dark surface — under the 3:1 UI floor. The replacement has to
    satisfy four constraints at once, because the fill lands on all three dark backgrounds and
    carries white text on every one of them: ≥3:1 against the sidebar (#232327 — the lightest
    and therefore the binding one), the surface (#161619) and the group header (#202024),
    while white-on-fill stays ≥4.5:1. Raising lightness helps the first three and hurts the
    fourth, so the usable values form a narrow window: at this hue no value clears both floors
    by more than ~7%
    . #2170D6 sits at that window's centre — same hue (214°) and saturation
    (73%) as before, lightness 43.9% → 48.4% — giving sidebar 3.25, surface 3.74, group header
    3.37, white-on-fill 4.82. Splitting a separate --color-accent-fill token would buy
    nothing: the selected device card needs the 3:1 and the 4.5:1 floors satisfied
    simultaneously on the same element, so no split can relax either one.
  3. Hover pill text is --color-text-primary, not --color-on-accent. White on the pale
    #B1D3FE wash was 1.55:1 — the worst pair in the shipped sheet. The mockup leaves hover
    text at --muted, which passes in light (4.83:1) but is 3.25:1 against its dark
    #274A73 hover; primary passes both (12.25 / 7.42).
  4. --color-text-placeholder kept as its own token (#6E6E73) rather than collapsed into
    --muted as the mockup does. A placeholder reading lighter than body-muted is the right
    signal, and #6E6E73 clears 4.5:1 anyway.
  5. --color-border-faint #EEE#E5E5E5 to match the mockup's row separators. The other
    three border tokens keep their scale (the mockup collapses to two levels; ours are already
    at least as strong).

The 375px question

Adding the viewport meta (item 1, in scope here) is what stops phones rendering this page
zoomed out at desktop width
— which had been hiding the audit's finding 8. Rendered at true
375px, the filter pills wrap and the fixed-height .toolbar spilled over the table header,
overlapping it.

So this PR makes one containment change beyond pure theme: .toolbar/.table-header use
min-height instead of height. The row grows instead of overlapping when it wraps, and is
unchanged when it doesn't — measured at 1440, not assumed:

Box Before After
.tests-header toolbar h=33.00 top=70.00 h=33.00 top=70.00
ul.table-header h=23.00 top=103.00 h=23.00 top=103.00
#left-sidebar / #right-sidebar h=830.00 top=70.00 h=830.00 top=70.00
first .summary row h=92.00 top=126.00 h=96.00 top=126.00

The single delta is the row block growing 4px — that is the font change (system-ui metrics
differ from Helvetica's), which is the intended effect, not the min-height swap.

header gets the same treatment (height: 70pxmin-height) after review. Its own two rows
never wrap — the pills that do live in .tests-header, not in header — but 70px was ~4px of
slack over the title band plus the tabs row, so text scaling clipped it, and leaving it clamped
was inconsistent with the sibling toolbars. Re-measured: geometry unchanged.

This is not the collapse work — the sidebar still takes 200px of 375 and the right pane is
still off-canvas at that width. Those are PR 2. This is only "don't make it worse", per the
brief.

Verification

  • Full suite green on both legs: XCHR_RESULT_READER=auto and =modern.
  • DifferentialTests green. Parity holds by construction: the markup is shared, and the
    one new dynamic value (the title) derives from the bundle file name — an input path, not
    anything read out of a bundle — so both readers produce the same bytes. No allow-list entry
    needed.
  • No test edits. Nothing pinned <title>XCHTMLReport</title> or any token value;
    CoreTests' selectors and ReproducibilityTests pass unmodified.
  • swiftformat --lint .: 0/71 files require formatting (HTMLTemplates.swift is excluded by
    .swiftformat, as declared).
  • 12 screenshots: 3 fixtures × {1440, 375} × {light, dark}, captured over CDP with
    Emulation.setEmulatedMedia so prefers-color-scheme is genuinely emulated. Each shot
    asserts the emulation took before capturing, so no shot can be mislabelled. Before-state
    shots captured for the same matrix.
  • The selection fill is verified three ways, not just arithmetically. The ratios above are
    recomputed by parsing the token values straight out of HTMLTemplates.swift, so the table
    cannot drift from what the sheet paints; the contrast implementation is itself checked
    against 8 published reference pairs first. Then, in a real dark render at 1440 and 375, the
    computed cascade reports the selected card as rgb(33,112,214) directly on
    rgb(35,35,39) from #left-sidebar with rgb(255,255,255) text — confirming the sidebar,
    not the surface, is the backdrop. Finally the painted pixels sampled back out of those PNGs
    are #2170D6 on #232327 = 3.25:1, matching the computed figure exactly.
  • The dark block is still tokens-only: parsed after comment-stripping — one selector
    (:root), 18 custom-property declarations, zero structural declarations.

Title, verified across fixtures: TestResults — XCTestHTMLReport,
SanityResults — XCTestHTMLReport, RetryResults — XCTestHTMLReport. Passing one bundle twice
plus a second (the ReproducibilityTests collision case) collapses to
TestResults, RetryResults — XCTestHTMLReport.

Known gaps, left for PR 2

  • Mixed and unknown outcomes still render a blank status cell (testInUnknownState(),
    testRetryOnFailure() in RetryResults) — icons are PR 2.
  • ~300KB of base64 PNG icons remain. They read acceptably in dark (status diamonds are
    colored; disclosure triangles and the paperclip/eye SVGs are mid-grays — #8f8f8f and
    #828282, both ≥4.5:1 on the dark surface), so no dark-mode-only hack was added to the
    token block.
  • No run summary, no text filter, three-pane layout on a single-device run — unfixed by
    design
    , per the Option C decision.

…ity title (refs #439)

Part 1 of 2 of the Option C conservative refresh. Today's three-pane
identity is kept; this is the theme half only, and the structural half
(responsive collapse, status icons for mixed/unknown, attachment labels)
is deliberately left to PR 2.

Every selector stays shared between light and dark — the dark block
overrides token *values* and nothing else, which is exactly what
tokenizing in #455 bought.

- viewport meta, `color-scheme: light dark`, and an explicit background
  on html/body. `body` previously set no background at all, so the white
  canvas was a browser default — the thing that made dark mode
  impossible to bolt on.
- system-ui font stack replacing the pinned "SF Pro Display", with a
  generic family last so the chain always terminates.
- Contrast: 11 failing fg/bg pairs go to 0 in both themes, verified by
  computing WCAG 2.1 ratios for every pairing the changed tokens
  produce. `#1780FA` -> `#1163CC`, bare `red` -> `#D70015`, `#777`
  pills -> `#555`, and the placeholder off `#AAA`. White-on-hover-tint
  was the worst at 1.55:1 and now uses primary text.
- `--color-accent-text` splits the blue's two roles. One value cannot
  serve as both a fill under white text and as text on a surface once
  dark mode exists.
- The tab title carries run identity instead of the constant
  `XCHTMLReport`. It derives from the bundle *file name* — an input
  path, never anything read out of a bundle — so both readers emit the
  same bytes and the differential holds by construction.
- `.toolbar`/`.table-header` take min-height rather than a fixed
  height. The viewport meta stops phones rendering this page zoomed out
  at desktop width, which had been hiding the pills overlapping the
  table header once they wrap. Containment only; the narrow-screen
  layout is PR 2.
- Corrects the false spacing rationale carried over from the #455
  review: 2px and 6px each repeat four times, so "the only two steps
  that repeat" was not why they were left inline.

Both legs green (auto and modern), DifferentialTests included. No test
needed modifying.

The review's stated failure does not occur: the pills that wrap live in
.tests-header, not in <header>, which holds only the title band and the
two-item Tests/Logs row.

The underlying point stands though. 70px is about 4px of slack over those
two rows, so browser text scaling clipped the header, and leaving it
clamped is inconsistent with the sibling toolbars this branch already
moved to min-height. Geometry is unchanged at 1440: header contents,
both sidebars and the first summary row all keep their previous heights
and offsets.

…kdrop (review on #456)

#1E65C2 cleared the 3:1 UI floor against --color-surface (3.18) but not
against --color-bg-sidebar (2.76), where the default-selected device card
actually sits, nor --color-bg-group-header (2.86). The PR's contrast table
listed only the surface pairing, which is how the gap went unnoticed.

#2170D6 keeps the hue (214deg) and saturation (73%) and raises lightness
43.9% -> 48.4%, clearing every backdrop while white-on-fill stays over the
4.5:1 text floor:

  fill vs sidebar     #232327   2.76 -> 3.25
  fill vs surface     #161619   3.18 -> 3.74
  fill vs group hdr   #202024   2.86 -> 3.37
  white text on fill            5.68 -> 4.82

One token still covers every role. The selected device card carries white
text on the fill, so the 3:1 and the 4.5:1 floors bind on the same element
and a separate --color-accent-fill token could not relax either of them. At
this hue no value clears both by more than ~7%; this one sits at the centre
of that window.

Verified by re-deriving the ratios from the template source, by a dark DOM
walk over all three fixtures at 1440 and 375 (374 text samples, 0 failures),
and by sampling the painted pixels back out of the renders (#2170D6 on
#232327 = 3.25). The dark block is still tokens-only: one :root, 18 custom
properties, no structural declarations.

Phase 1 builds the Swift foundation -- a StubPayloadProvider, a synthetic
ParsedResult covering every rendered status, and a Summary initialiser
taking pre-parsed runs. Phase 2 adds golden snapshots keyed to that
fixture rather than to a generated .xcresult, which is what makes them
committable at all. Phase 3 adds the browser layer.

Task 1 opens RED on the tailCount defect the spec recorded. Task 12
hands the finished suite to #456 and unskips the dark-mode assertion
there, which is the sequencing argument's payoff: the first claim about
how this report looks that a machine, not a reviewer, checks.

Three assertions in the plan are verified by deliberately breaking
something and confirming the failure -- an undeclared token reference, a
contrast floor, and a changed golden -- because an assertion that has
never failed is one nobody should trust.

Selectors are taken from HTMLTemplates.swift rather than guessed:
`.selected` is the live selection class, group rows sit under
`.run.active`, and the filter tabs are `<li>` elements carrying counts.

…ix status glyphs, type-derived attachment labels (refs #439) (#459)

* C-refresh part 2/2 — structure: responsive collapse, SVG icons, all six status glyphs, type-derived attachment labels (refs #439)

The structural half of option C, on top of the theme half (#456) and the
token layer (#455). Desktop at 1024 and 1440 is unchanged to the pixel:
every layout box and every row box measures identical to the pre-change
render, and the only geometry that moves is the two expected-failure rows
gaining the status icon they never had.

Responsive collapse. One `@media (max-width: 700px)` block at the end of
the sheet; nothing above it changed. The device sidebar becomes a
horizontal strip, and the attachment pane a bottom sheet that is in the
layout only while an attachment is selected. The DOM is untouched, so the
filter and collapse scripts run the same code in both layouts; the only
script change is two lines toggling an `attachment-open` body class from
the functions that already tracked exactly that state.

SVG icons. Every glyph is a one-colour SVG applied as a CSS mask, coloured
by `background-color` underneath — a data-URI image cannot see the token
layer, which is why the sheet used to ship a second white copy of four
PNGs just for selected rows. `currentColor` now covers that for free.
`.bundle-icon` deleted: 26KB of base64 no markup ever referenced. A
linking-mode TestResults report goes 453,337 -> 93,963 bytes (-79.3%);
the same absolute saving applies inline.

Status glyphs. `Status` gains `expectedFailure`, and `unknown` gains a
class instead of the empty string. All six states get a distinct shape,
not just a colour, at a 3:1 non-text contrast floor in both themes. Both
readers already mapped xcresult's `Expected Failure`, so no backend moved
and the differential needed no allow-list change. Status selectors use
`>`: matched loosely, a mixed row's rule repainted the icons of the
iterations nested inside it.

Attachment labels. `kXCT…` names are classified internal by prefix rather
than by enumerating one constant, so `kXCTAttachmentScreenRecording` stops
reaching the UI and so does whatever Apple adds next. This removes a
divergence rather than adding one — legacy's internal name and modern's
nil name now both fall to the same type-derived "Video". Derivation reads
`type` alone, a fact both backends set the same way.

One test pin edited: `testExpectedFailureStillRendersAsUnknown` asserted
the flattening this change removes, and is rewritten to assert the state
survives to the renderer while neither backend moves.

Refs #439.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <[email protected]>

* Propagate expectedFailure through the suite-row aggregate (refs #439)

`TestGroup.status` walks a fixed precedence list, and #439's new status was
missing from it: a suite whose every test is an expected failure fell
through to `.unknown` -- the one value that means "we could not tell" --
while every row inside it said otherwise. Added last in the list, so a
suite holding a real failure is still a failed suite.

Invisible today, because group rows draw no status glyph and no fixture
builds such a suite, which is also why nothing would have caught it. The
new StatusAggregationTests constructs the cases from crafted inputs
instead of waiting for a fixture to grow them, and pins the two boundaries
either side of the new entry: a real outcome still outranks an expected
failure, and an expected failure still keeps a suite off the all-passed
shortcut.

Raised by CodeRabbit on #459.

* Fix the two review findings on the C-refresh structure half (refs #439)

F1 — `.device-identifier { display: none }` was dead below 700px. Inside the
same media query `#info-sections ul li` sets `display: inline`, and one ID
beats one class, so the field kept rendering: 299px wide with its right edge
at x=708 on a 375 viewport, scrolling the device strip 303px further than
designed and clipping `Model:` at the edge. Qualifying the selector with the
same ID wins the cascade. CDP `CSS.getMatchedStylesForNode` at 375 now
reports computed `display: none` (was `inline`) and the strip measures 346px
instead of 649px; at 701/1024/1440 no media rule applies and the row's box is
unchanged at [4,177,196,18].

F2 — `Status.unknown`'s new `"unknown"` class had neither a fixture nor a
test, the only mapping in the PR with no coverage of any kind. `Status` is
now `CaseIterable` so the new table test can assert it covers every case:
a status added without a `cssClass` fails the test instead of shipping a row
that draws no glyph.

Nothing here has ever asserted anything about how the report looks. The
three existing comparisons -- DifferentialTests, ReproducibilityTests,
BaselineCaptureTests -- all compare one render to another render, and
none of them knows what any of it means. A token that resolves to
nothing, a dark-mode palette that fails contrast, a filter tab that
stops filtering: all pass silently.

That became load-bearing when #439 started redesigning the UI. #455
tokenized the stylesheet and claimed "zero visual change" with no test
able to confirm it; #456 adds dark mode and asserts WCAG floors. Those
are claims a browser checks mechanically and a reviewer cannot.

Three layers over one synthetic ParsedResult fixture: unit tests on
model logic, per-template HTML goldens, and Playwright for the facts
only a browser knows. Layers 1 and 2 add no toolchain and need neither
simulator nor .xcresult.

The design turns on a constraint BaselineCaptureTests already documents:
fixtures regenerate, so a golden keyed to one cannot be checked in. The
way out is to stop feeding renders from generated fixtures -- hence the
synthetic fixture, and hence the one production change, a Summary
initialiser taking pre-parsed runs.

Also records a defect found while writing this: TestScreenshotFlow
discards its tailCount parameter and hardcodes suffix(3).

Phase 1 builds the Swift foundation -- a StubPayloadProvider, a synthetic
ParsedResult covering every rendered status, and a Summary initialiser
taking pre-parsed runs. Phase 2 adds golden snapshots keyed to that
fixture rather than to a generated .xcresult, which is what makes them
committable at all. Phase 3 adds the browser layer.

Task 1 opens RED on the tailCount defect the spec recorded. Task 12
hands the finished suite to #456 and unskips the dark-mode assertion
there, which is the sequencing argument's payoff: the first claim about
how this report looks that a machine, not a reviewer, checks.

Three assertions in the plan are verified by deliberately breaking
something and confirming the failure -- an undeclared token reference, a
contrast floor, and a changed golden -- because an assertion that has
never failed is one nobody should trust.

Selectors are taken from HTMLTemplates.swift rather than guessed:
`.selected` is the live selection class, group rows sit under
`.run.active`, and the filter tabs are `<li>` elements carrying counts.

Both CSS scanners in tokens.spec.ts filtered on `rule instanceof
CSSStyleRule`, which is false for CSSMediaRule — so the
@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) :root block PR #456 added was
invisible to both assertions. A stylesheet with a token declared or
referenced only inside that block would pass "no rule references an
undeclared token" vacuously; the name was inaccurate.

Walk CSSGroupingRule.cssRules recursively (covers @media, @supports,
@layer alike) in both evaluate bodies. Verified the walk now visits 2
:root rules instead of 1, and that a var() reference broken *inside*
the dark block is caught post-fix but was silently missed by the
pre-fix scanner against the same fixture.

Whole-branch review found five claims in the spec the delivered work does
not satisfy. Recorded as a dated Amendments section rather than editing
history: fixture attachment coverage (PNG/text only, not video/HTML),
behavioural assertions (2 of 3 shipped — no attachment-click-populates-
preview test), contrast pairing discovery (sampled from one static DOM
state, not the cascade; --color-text-secondary and --color-accent-soft
are never exercised as text colour in the fixture's default render), axe
moderate/minor reporting (console.log, not $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY), and
Sequencing (PR #456 merged first and is this branch's merge-base, so the
suite did not land before #456 as planned — #456's claims were verified
retroactively instead, and confirmed sound).

* Design: test coverage for the rendered report

Nothing here has ever asserted anything about how the report looks. The
three existing comparisons -- DifferentialTests, ReproducibilityTests,
BaselineCaptureTests -- all compare one render to another render, and
none of them knows what any of it means. A token that resolves to
nothing, a dark-mode palette that fails contrast, a filter tab that
stops filtering: all pass silently.

That became load-bearing when #439 started redesigning the UI. #455
tokenized the stylesheet and claimed "zero visual change" with no test
able to confirm it; #456 adds dark mode and asserts WCAG floors. Those
are claims a browser checks mechanically and a reviewer cannot.

Three layers over one synthetic ParsedResult fixture: unit tests on
model logic, per-template HTML goldens, and Playwright for the facts
only a browser knows. Layers 1 and 2 add no toolchain and need neither
simulator nor .xcresult.

The design turns on a constraint BaselineCaptureTests already documents:

* Plan: report visual test coverage, 13 tasks in three phases

Phase 1 builds the Swift foundation -- a StubPayloadProvider, a synthetic
ParsedResult covering every rendered status, and a Summary initialiser
taking pre-parsed runs. Phase 2 adds golden snapshots keyed to that
fixture rather than to a generated .xcresult, which is what makes them
committable at all. Phase 3 adds the browser layer.

Task 1 opens RED on the tailCount defect the spec recorded. Task 12
hands the finished suite to #456 and unskips the dark-mode assertion

* TestScreenshotFlow honours tailCount instead of hardcoding 3

* Synthetic ParsedResult fixture covering every rendered state

* Fix PayloadProviding member count in the visual-test-coverage design spec

The spec called PayloadProviding a three-member protocol, but it declares
five: url, exportPayload, exportPayloadData, exportLogs, exportLogsData.
Task 2's SyntheticResultTests fixture is what surfaced the discrepancy.

* Deduplicate SyntheticResultTests' ParsedTestCase extraction, widen filename assertion

Review fix round 1: the three tests repeated the same 11-line
runs→testables→groups→ParsedNode extraction chain verbatim. Extracted a
private allTestCases() helper. Also widened
testCoversHostileAttachmentFilename to require all five hostile
characters the fixture filename actually carries ("'<>&), not just two
of them, so the assertion pins what the fixture provides.

* Summary initialiser taking pre-parsed runs, for fixture-free rendering

Adds an internal Summary.init(parsedRuns:payloads:renderingMode:
downsizeImagesEnabled:downsizeScaleFactor:faultCollector:bundleNames:),
alongside the existing public path-based initialiser, so tests can render
a full report page from SyntheticResult's fixture with no .xcresult and
no simulator. This is the injection point #391 made possible: ParsedRun
is now the boundary between reading and rendering, so tests can construct
one directly instead of reading it out of a bundle.

Internal, not public, because PayloadProviding is internal;
@testable import reaches it from tests while library consumers keep the
resultPaths-based initialiser untouched.

SummarySeamTests exercises the new seam: a full page renders
(<!doctype html>, the fixture's SyntheticSuite group, the :root token
layer), the complete synthetic tree produces zero faults, and two
renders of the same fixture are byte-identical.

* Give the synthetic fixture a real log reference, so Run.init? stops degrading

SyntheticResult.parsedRun passed logReference: nil, which sent Run.init?
down the else branch: a warning to the console, and logContent = .none —
no logs section at all in the rendered page. Every golden HTML file from
Task 4 onward would have pinned a report missing that pane, and
StubPayloadProvider.exportLogs/exportLogsData would have stayed dead code
no test ever reached. Fixing this now, before any goldens exist, is the
cheapest point to do it.

StubPayloadProvider gains a logText constant and real exportLogs/
exportLogsData implementations that mirror exportPayload/exportPayloadData:
resolve from the same exports map, touch no filesystem. SyntheticResult
registers a logReference in payloads and wires it into parsedRun.

SummarySeamTests.testRendersAFullPageWithoutAnXcresult now asserts the
logs iframe doesn't degrade to an empty src. A new test,
testInlineRenderingEmbedsTheActualLogBytes, proves the fixture's log
bytes reach the rendered page for real: under .inline rendering the
iframe src is a data: URI, so the exact base64 encoding of logText is
a verifiable substring of the output. .linking mode (used elsewhere in
this file) only yields a content-free relative file name, so it cannot
by itself prove real bytes made the trip — the .inline mode assertion is
required to confirm the fix's actual purpose, not just that the warning
went away.

* Snapshot harness and the index golden, keyed to the synthetic fixture

* Inline-mode golden alongside the linking-mode one

* Correct the no-fixtures verification claim: park only the .xcresult bundles

Parking the entire Resources directory also removes differential-allowlist.json,
the fourth Package.swift-declared resource. With zero resolvable resources
SwiftPM synthesizes no Bundle.module, breaking the whole test target's build —
a packaging artifact, not evidence the synthetic-fixture suites need .xcresult
fixtures. Parking only the three .xcresult bundles isolates the actual claim.

* Dump the synthetic render for the browser suite

* Playwright scaffold and token-resolution assertions

Introduces the browser test layer: a pinned Playwright + axe-core
devDependency set, chromium-only config with retries disabled, and two
assertions over the report's computed CSS custom properties — every
declared :root token resolves to a non-empty value, and no rule
references a token that was never declared.

Verified the second assertion actually bites: temporarily broke a
var(--color-text-primary) reference in HTMLTemplates.swift to
var(--color-text-nonexistent), re-dumped the fixture, and watched
`no rule references an undeclared token` fail naming the bogus token.
The template edit was reverted before committing.

* Recurse into grouping rules so dark-mode :root is not blind spot

Both CSS scanners in tokens.spec.ts filtered on `rule instanceof
CSSStyleRule`, which is false for CSSMediaRule — so the
@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) :root block PR #456 added was
invisible to both assertions. A stylesheet with a token declared or
referenced only inside that block would pass "no rule references an
undeclared token" vacuously; the name was inaccurate.

Walk CSSGroupingRule.cssRules recursively (covers @media, @supports,
@layer alike) in both evaluate bodies. Verified the walk now visits 2
:root rules instead of 1, and that a var() reference broken *inside*
the dark block is caught post-fix but was silently missed by the
pre-fix scanner against the same fixture.

* WCAG contrast and dark-mode assertions, dark mode unskipped (#456 landed)

* axe-core runs without gating; all findings filed on #440

* Behavioural assertions for filters and keyboard navigation

* Run the browser assertions in CI

Adds a two-job workflow: a macOS job dumps the synthetic render fixtures
via VisualFixtureDumpTests (no simulator, no .xcresult, no
prepareTestResults.sh needed — Package.swift's differential-allowlist.json
resource is enough to synthesize Bundle.module), then an Ubuntu job
downloads those fixtures and runs the Playwright suite against them.

setup-node and download-artifact are pinned to their actual latest
releases (v7.0.0 and v8.0.1) rather than the older SHAs from the initial
draft; download-artifact's SHA matches the one already pinned in
release.yml.

* Fix effectiveBackground() to skip masked icon fills

The WCAG contrast test's effectiveBackground() walk treated any element's
non-transparent computed background-color as a real painted surface. The
#439 icon refresh (merged to main via #459, which this branch predates)
switched .preview-icon and friends to `mask-image` + `background-color:
currentColor` — the standard single-colour tintable-icon technique. That
background-color is clipped to the icon's silhouette by the mask; it is
never a rectangle behind text. For any such element, currentColor makes
the "background" trivially equal the "foreground" by construction, so the
walk found a spurious 1.00:1 wherever a masked icon happened to pick up
sampleable text.

That happened here because of a real (separate, out of scope for this
fix) HTML-escaping bug: the synthetic fixture's edge-case filename
containing a raw `"` breaks out of `data="[[FILENAME]]"`, leaking markup
as text children of the otherwise-empty .preview-icon span and an
unrecognized <greaterthan> element the broken parse produces. That leak is
real and made both elements eligible for sampling; skipping masked
elements in the background walk makes the walk find the same true
ancestor surface every other passing text element already clears against.

Diagnosed by downloading the exact fixture CI's dump job produced
(GH Actions run 31745292239) and reproducing the 1.00:1 locally against
that fixture with plain diagnostic instrumentation: this branch's own
fixture predates #459's icon refresh entirely, which is why "8/8 green
locally" and "2/8 red in CI" were both true — pull_request's default
checkout tests the PR merged with current main, not the branch alone.

* Fix undeclared-token scan to see shorthand var() references

rule.style iterated longhand-by-longhand: Chromium stores a shorthand
containing var() (e.g. border: 1px solid var(--color-border-strong)) as a
pending-substitution value, so every expanded longhand serialises to "".
Scanning rule.style.cssText instead sees the literal var(...) text
regardless of shorthand expansion.

Confirmed by mutation: before the fix the scan found 28 of 34 var()
references; after, all 34. Deleting --color-border-strong from
HTMLTemplates.swift's :root (both light and dark blocks) now makes the
test fail, naming the token; previously it stayed green.

* Fail a snapshot refresh run instead of reporting it green

The XCHR_UPDATE_SNAPSHOTS=1 branch wrote the golden and returned, so a
refresh run was unconditionally green — writing bytes proves nothing about
whether the new content is correct. XCTFail after a successful write so
CI can never pass while the env var is set, and a developer refreshing
locally is prompted to re-run without it for a real verdict.

* Rename a11y test to state what it actually checks

GATING_IMPACTS = [] (correctly, per #440) makes the assertion
expect([]).toEqual([]) — it cannot fail regardless of what axe finds, but
the old name ("report has no critical or serious accessibility
violations") claimed a guarantee the test does not provide. Renamed to
describe the gate's actual state and expanded the comment to record all
six known findings (image-alt critical x6, frame-title serious,
heading-order/landmark-one-main/region moderate, empty-heading minor) so
the debt is legible without re-running the suite.

* Add expected-failure regression test for hostile-filename escaping

SyntheticResultTests.testCoversHostileAttachmentFilename asserts the
fixture contains a filename with " ' < > & — but nothing asserted the
render escapes it, and it does not: HTMLTemplates.swift interpolates the
raw filename into onclick="showText('[[SOURCE]]')" unescaped, so the
embedded double quote breaks out of the attribute. The committed goldens
already contain this broken markup.

Adds a regression test wrapped in XCTExpectFailure recording the defect
(HTMLTemplates.swift / Attachment.swift, out of scope here) without
turning the suite red. The moment the escaping is fixed, XCTExpectFailure
flips this into a hard failure — an unexpectedly-passing expected
failure — which is the loud signal that the test should be promoted out
of the wrapper.

* Amend the design spec to match what actually shipped

Whole-branch review found five claims in the spec the delivered work does
not satisfy. Recorded as a dated Amendments section rather than editing
history: fixture attachment coverage (PNG/text only, not video/HTML),
behavioural assertions (2 of 3 shipped — no attachment-click-populates-
preview test), contrast pairing discovery (sampled from one static DOM
state, not the cascade; --color-text-secondary and --color-accent-soft
are never exercised as text colour in the fixture's default render), axe
moderate/minor reporting (console.log, not $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY), and
Sequencing (PR #456 merged first and is this branch's merge-base, so the
suite did not land before #456 as planned — #456's claims were verified
retroactively instead, and confirmed sound).

* Document the visual test layer in CONTRIBUTING.md

"CI runs exactly these two commands, so a green run locally means a green
run on your pull request" stopped being true once the Visual workflow
landed. Corrected the claim and documented the two layers CONTRIBUTING.md
was silent on: template snapshots (XCHR_UPDATE_SNAPSHOTS=1 to refresh,
and why a refresh run always fails) and the Playwright browser layer
(dump via XCHR_VISUAL_DIR swift test --filter VisualFixtureDumpTests,
then npm ci + npx playwright test in visual/).

* Drop the test-fixture default from Summary's seam initialiser

bundleNames: [String] = ["Synthetic"] put a test fixture's name into
production source as a default value. Made it a required parameter and
updated the three callers (SummarySeamTests, TemplateSnapshotTests,
VisualFixtureDumpTests) to pass "Synthetic" explicitly — the goldens'
<title> is unchanged because the value itself didn't change, only where
it's supplied from.

Also mirrored the path-based initialiser's identifier shape —
.appending("bundle\(index)").appending("action0") — instead of the
unrelated run-\(index), so the goldens pin an identifier set a real
report could actually produce. This does change the goldens: every
derived id/toggle/activities hash shifts with the path string. Regenerated
via XCHR_UPDATE_SNAPSHOTS=1 and diffed to confirm every changed line is
only a 32-hex-char identifier, nothing else.

* Exclude committed Snapshots goldens from the test target's resources

swift build --build-tests warned "found 2 file(s) which are unhandled"
for Tests/XCTestHTMLReportTests/Snapshots/*.html once those goldens
existed: SwiftPM saw them under the target's source directory but they
are read directly by path (SnapshotSupport.swift), not vended as
Bundle.module resources. exclude: ["Snapshots"] tells SwiftPM to leave
the directory alone.

* Regenerate goldens against PR #459's icon/structure refresh

Rebased onto origin/main (f442e8e), which merged #459 mid-execution of
this branch's plan: an icon refresh adding status-glyph and icon tokens
(SVG masks replacing base64 PNGs), a responsive @media (max-width: 700px)
breakpoint, and type-derived attachment labels. TemplateSnapshotTests
correctly caught the drift (Snapshot index/index-inline changed).

Refreshed with XCHR_UPDATE_SNAPSHOTS=1 swift test --filter
TemplateSnapshotTests (which itself fails on purpose per the FIX-2
change), then re-ran clean and read both goldens in full before
committing: well-formed, properly closed, the hostile-filename markup
this branch's expected-failure regression test depends on is still
present and unescaped.
