Independent compact Process review — 2026-09-25 UTC

Reviewer: compact_process_review, bounded evidence review only. No GUI, Cargo, Git, Gitea or production-source mutation. Parent action account is compact-actions.md; capture JSON records states, not an instrumented input log.

Finding: no correctness or usability blocker identified for this fixture's OA derived Process aggregate-removal review at 1102×732. This is acceptance of the bounded compact review evidence, not general compact authoring/accessibility.

Direct visual inspection

Viewed actual images 16, 28, 29 and every image 34–47 with view_image.

• 16 establishes the visible compact window. 34 shows 3 selected, both same-name Review gate cards outlined and the authored link selected; the inspector distinguishes primary @approved. Selection gestures come from the parent's report, not filenames or screenshot inference.
• 35 shows a contained dialog with readable title, 3 removed / 1 updated, separate affected-definition counts, search, page controls and fixed Cancel / explicit Remove controls. The explanation distinguishes local contributions from preserved referenced definitions and warns that complete caller graphs are not computed. Same-name selected cards are distinguished by @a / @c.
• 36 shows the first page scrolled to the explicit-before / implicit-after summaries while both action buttons remain fully visible. The partial line at the scroll viewport's upper edge is normal scrolling, not inaccessible content.
• 37 shows page 2 with full @e1 then @e2 order entries and both @caller and transitive @outer names/aliases. Previous is enabled and Next visibly disabled. Search and action buttons remain in place, with no review-specific clipping.
• 38 shows the search caret. 39 shows @outer, one match and its full affected caller entry. 40 shows @outer-missing, zero matches and recovery guidance; the three-selection title/counts remain, clearly separating filtering from the pending operation. Confirmation still represents the entire selected group.
• 41 shows cancellation feedback, original graph, selection count 3 and retained primary alias; 42 shows saved status. 43 is a fresh unfiltered review. 44–45 show removal feedback, cleared selection, Process owner in the inspector and surviving exchange cards joined by implicit order, then saved status. 46–47 show the restored four-card/authored-link graph, Undo feedback then saved state. Undo does not restore the earlier selection; no such guarantee is asserted.

Source and lifecycle checks

Independently compared complete byte arrays: compact-cancelled.arcadia, compact-undo.arcadia, and final working.arcadia all equal pinned oracle-v2 baseline.arcadia (2609 bytes, SHA256 9965f4024584d64ac81442724aeb77b018b0cfae94e50bd412c5dcbbac49f6bf). compact-removed.arcadia equals oracle-v2 expected-removed.arcadia (2258 bytes, SHA256 b4a2b07ad4c796f555c61945ca42b1c221b454b35488c60fefc86f96f7aa71ba). All three snapshot sidecars record evaluator exit 0. The source delta removes @a, @c, @approved, updates Assessment steps to [@e1,@e2], and preserves referenced OA work/exchanges, caller references, SA sentinels and remaining bytes.

Rehashed all 12 prepared immutable entries, including the local executable, DLL, source-proof/input-map/build receipts, exact oracle and comparator copies: all byte lengths and SHA256 pins match. The executable's pin matches its build receipt for 572e96ba03522cfb822b13fe4abb50e857a5de48; the captured source-proof receipt reports exact source/input agreement. This review did not rerun Git blob verification. The started receipt correctly pins prepared.json and identifies PID 6252 and the isolated executable. All 46 capture timestamps lie between 03:58:20.104404 and 04:05:21.991314 UTC; snapshot timestamps also lie within that interval. Finished receipt reports exit 0, unchanged immutable inputs and final baseline pin. Actual stdout/stderr files are empty. Parent reports normal Alt+F4.

Limits and non-blocking observations

At 100% the compact canvas crops the graph (28); Fit exposes it at 59% (29), with small labels. The narrow palette uses abbreviations, and the inspector/explorer require scrolling for more content. These are general compact UI observations, not modal clipping or blockers for the demonstrated removal sequence. Broader compact authoring remains unevaluated.

Evidence covers this OA derived-layout fixture, mouse/context-add selection, header review, scrolling/paging/search/empty result, Cancel, explicit Remove, Save and one parent-reported Ctrl+Z. No native Shift-click, keyboard-only modal navigation, screen-reader usability, full accessibility, SA native workflows, source-budget failure or arbitrary smaller windows are accepted here. Captured native accessibility exposes only the top-level window/title-bar tree. This run does not add Redo or fresh-process reopen evidence; original runs 1–2 remain separate and unchanged. Screenshots cannot establish exact keystrokes, timing or all intermediate states. No new full-suite, Linux, integration or release claim.
