Summary

  • Stamp docs/design-system/HANDOVER-2026-08-07.md superseded. Nine open ledger rows (#261, #262, #264#270) cite it as their Source, and docs/design-system/README.md sent anyone picking the work up cold straight to it as "measured state, the ordered plan". Four of its figures have since been disproved; the corrections were written into the ledger rows, so the document still asserts the originals. Recorded as #277.
  • Point the README's cold start at docs/outstanding-issues.md and mark the handover superseded in the link text, which is where the misdirection was.

A banner, not a rewrite — which is what #277 asks for. The corrections already live in the rows, and duplicating them re-creates the drift this fixes. The banner names the four measured errors and then defers to the rows:

  • "229 --shadow-tight aliases" is the seven-token legacyShadowAliases total mislabelled as one token. Real figure: 100 sites across 55 files, against a 228 total. The regex has never included focus, so #261's --shadow-focus does not appear in this metric at all.
  • Adoption was 24 unadopted against a measured 23.
  • "Baselines cannot be generated on Windows" is half true and led to the wrong conclusion — the ubuntu CI job already produces the only ones that count. All six were adopted under #118.
  • #270's 22-site premise has zero same-variant pairs; the 84 survivors are live cross-variant responsive step-downs.

Deliberately not done: the document is not deleted, moved, or corrected in place. The nine Source citations, the PR/commit record, and its verification and gotcha sections are provenance the ledger is meant to preserve, and silently correcting it would leave those rows citing a document that no longer says what they were derived from.

Verification

  • npm run docs:check-linksdocs link check passed: 1667 repo path references resolve.
  • npm run docs:check-inventoryDocs inventory current: 219 script files, 231 npm scripts.
  • npm run format:checkAll matched files use Prettier code style!
  • Docs-only change; no source, test, or config paths touched, so no UI or unit gate applies.

Risk and rollout

  • Risk: None to runtime. Documentation only.
  • Rollback: git revert.
  • Provider or production effects: None.

Refs #277.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated design-system guidance to identify outstanding-issues.md as the authoritative source for current issues.
    • Marked the historical handover document as superseded and unsuitable for scoping new work.
    • Added clarification about outdated figures, known errors, and preserved historical provenance.

Nine open ledger rows (#261, #262, #264-#270) cite
docs/design-system/HANDOVER-2026-08-07.md as their Source, and
docs/design-system/README.md sent anyone picking the work up cold straight to it as
"measured state, the ordered plan". Four of its figures have since been disproved,
and the corrections were written into the ledger rows rather than the document, so
the document still asserts the originals. A session scoping from it re-derives work
that is already known wrong. Recorded as #277.

A banner rather than a rewrite, which is what #277 asks for: the corrections already
live in the rows, and duplicating them re-creates the drift this fixes. The banner
names the four measured errors -- the "229 --shadow-tight aliases" that is really a
seven-token total mislabelled as one token (100 sites across 55 files, 228 total),
the 24-vs-23 unadopted count, the "baselines cannot be generated on Windows"
conclusion that overlooked the ubuntu CI job now used under #118, and #270's 22-site
premise that has zero same-variant pairs -- then points at the rows.

The README now sends a cold start to docs/outstanding-issues.md and marks the
handover superseded in the link text itself, where the misdirection was.

Deliberately not done: the document is not deleted, moved, or corrected in place.
The nine Source citations, the PR and commit record, and its verification and gotcha
sections are provenance the ledger is meant to preserve, and silently correcting it
would leave those rows citing a document that no longer says what they were derived
from.

Verified: npm run docs:check-links -- "docs link check passed: 1667 repo path
references resolve"; npm run docs:check-inventory -- current; npm run format:check --
"All matched files use Prettier code style!".

The superseded banner said all six visual baselines were adopted under
#118, but the ledger still has #118 open and tests/__screenshots__/
holds only README.md. Keep the accurate Ubuntu-CI generation point
without implying visual-regression protection exists yet.
