Native navigation corrections — 2026-09-11

Codex-9e8r6t /root; issue 6. The four-file correction above f4e426ae2a6971395e1ca7e6f094b0c20056cf93 passes its focused Windows gates and independent source review. A corrected full desktop run, GUI and native acceptance remain separate requirements.

Changes and review

The initial DF71 native trial found four interaction defects. The correction reserves the existing bounded header's outer height so lint cannot move the editor; keeps results closed on a successful Back without a notice; dismisses Find alone through the existing captured-Escape bridge; and suppresses exactly focused Windows Alt-only Space in the source editor. Ordinary Space, shifted input and Ctrl+Alt/AltGr remain on their existing paths. The header still scrolls when its contents overflow.

Find Close and ordinary dismissing Escape restore the existing source selection through the guarded viewport/focus ticket. Modal dismissal retains priority. Independent review found that the previously unscoped Find Close could now restore focus in a newer workspace or Find invocation. Its actual button message now carries session/path plus an invocation token renewed on every Find Open. Stale envelopes and bare legacy Close are rejected before invalidating current navigation; current Close still works. Review2 accepted this closure. Root also reviewed the final renderer-bound and evaluator-only changes.

Verified scope

• cargo test --locked --offline -p oa-desktop --bin arcadia-studio source_ -- --test-threads=1: 188 passed, 0 failed, 1 ignored, 562 filtered, 41.73 s execution, finished 19:38:11 UTC.
• cargo clippy --locked --offline -p oa-desktop --all-targets -- -D warnings: passed, finished 19:40:12 UTC. Scoped formatting and diff checks passed.
• All 499 inputs / 9,470,838 bytes were unchanged at 19:41:08 UTC. ZIP members were also compared with the manifest and current source bytes. Final correction inputs4 archive SHA256: 7ff9e5703e33bd72e5c2186dd61125e965b82b8dfbf085961d514b005e716798.

Seven added regressions exercise Back visibility, actual captured Find Escape, stale Find Close across reset/file switch/reopen, mounted guarded focus, stable editor geometry, real Scrollable wheel/offset behavior, and text-bearing Windows key events with ordinary/international input controls. Affected App assertions compare accepted Project, raw SourceBundle, selection and history.

Geometry uses the shared production layout helper with real paragraph/editor metrics and representative dynamic header content, not the whole App view. The focus tree verifies removal of Find and later foreign focus; its raw-clock case also changes focus, so it does not independently isolate that race end to end. Existing primitive guards provide narrower separate coverage. The supplied Alt+Space payload test is not instrumentation of the native Windows event. Actual settled menu/neutral-click behavior must still be repeated on a new GUI.

Preserved failures

The first PowerShell 5 wrapper stopped on ordinary Cargo stderr. The corrected PowerShell 7 run reached three real E0659 macro-import errors and was stopped after the independent stale-Close finding; both diagnostics and interruption are retained. Inputs2 then failed compilation because the generic helper needed text::Renderer. Inputs3 fixed only that bound; 187 tests passed, but its geometry test incorrectly equated the short inner Scrollable with the fixed outer slot (243.70001 versus 294 px). Inputs4 corrected only the measurement to the actual outer Container/editor boundary. Exact editor rectangle stability and the separate overflow/offset assertions then passed. No production layout change was made merely to satisfy that assertion. Failed runs are not Clippy or native passes; every earlier input snapshot retains its own readback.

Evidence and continuation

Raw correction archive: 44 payloads, 9,167,596 bytes; manifest SHA256 25a210de4a65b2221007e077fe72dfe0bb68483a068127e122839798aa4da332. It preserves original files, exact source ZIPs, helpers, patch, actual logs and receipts, independent reviews and final gate result. The test executable has an identity receipt; its large binary is not included.

The next native evaluation must repeat the four failures, existing navigation and draft/Undo behavior, invalid-source repair and the realistic 30-file engineering walkthrough, followed by explicit Save and complete saved equality. The existing contextual release remains unchanged. Linux/WSL remains paused.
