UI design audit cleanup ledger

• Run ID: ui-design-audit-2026-07-20-9f64a2c1
• Owned temporary root: <system temporary folder>\desktop-material-ui-audit-20260720-9f64a2c1
• Owned reference extraction: <temporary-root>\reference
• Owned Git fixture: <temporary-root>\fixture
• Owned bare fixture remote: <temporary-root>\remote.git
• Owned fixture provisioner: <temporary-root>\prepare-fixture.ps1
• Owned Electron user data: <temporary-root>\user-data
• Owned captures: <temporary-root>\captures
• Owned command shim: <temporary-root>\bin\yarn.cmd
• Owned canonical-gallery runtime root: <system temporary folder>\desktop-material-p0-ui-design-audit-20260720-9f64a2c1-gallery-en-light-resume1 (confirmed absent before creation; rejected before the first scene when the pristine welcome shell could not render Preferences; fully removed after the exact credential, process, listener, window, and desktop cleanup below).
• Owned second diagnostic canonical-gallery runtime root: <system temporary folder>\desktop-material-p0-ui-design-audit-20260720-9f64a2c1-gallery-en-light-resume2 (confirmed absent before creation; rejected at the first capture because this Electron runtime exposes a complete document.fonts object without a global FontFaceSet constructor; fully removed after exact cleanup).
• Owned third diagnostic canonical-gallery runtime root: <system temporary folder>\desktop-material-p0-ui-design-audit-20260720-9f64a2c1-gallery-en-light-resume3 (confirmed absent before creation; welcome and all font gates passed, then rejected because synthetic Escape could not close Preferences through two stacked first-run dialogs; fully removed after exact cleanup).
• Owned fourth diagnostic canonical-gallery runtime root: <system temporary folder>\desktop-material-p0-ui-design-audit-20260720-9f64a2c1-gallery-en-light-resume4 (confirmed absent before creation; rejected after eight candidate PNGs when the repository-toolbar appearance editor exposed an initialization failure; fully removed after exact cleanup).
• Owned fifth diagnostic canonical-gallery runtime root: <system temporary folder>\desktop-material-p0-ui-design-audit-20260720-9f64a2c1-gallery-en-light-resume5 (confirmed absent before creation; rejected after eight candidate PNGs when lazy repository appearance stores crossed the Windows Git object-path limit; fully removed after exact cleanup).
• Owned final canonical-gallery runtime root: <system temporary folder>\desktop-material-p0-ui-r6-9f64a2c1 (planned; must be confirmed absent before creation; its resolved path must remain at or below the runtime plan's 96-character ceiling).
• Audit-worktree dependency junctions: node_modules and app\node_modules.
• Audit-worktree gemoji state: isolated local shared clone at pinned gitlink 50865e8895c54037bf06c4c1691aa925d030a59d; clean detached HEAD with all 845 tracked Unicode images present.
• Audit-worktree local submodule copies (from the initialized default checkout, excluding all .git metadata): app\static\common\choosealicense.com and app\static\common\gitignore
• Copied submodule pointer files quarantined at <temporary-root>\copied-git-metadata so the audit worktree cannot resolve them against the default checkout's Git metadata.
• Detached unsafe build reparse points are quarantined at <temporary-root>\detached-reparse-points; this directory must never be recursively removed while they remain reparse points.
• Build-output repair: out\emoji is now a real directory containing the non-Unicode image set, not a reparse point.
• Definitive post-merge build source: audit-branch commit 52bfcf3e53; the fixed-server MCP build returned client_ok: true, returncode: 0, timed_out: false (241.2 seconds client wall time; Yarn 239.33 seconds).
• Definitive emitted artifact SHA-256 values: out\main.js 4FC70AF5DD1E2EC88CE0008FCF410647BA91B3FFF83CD1F864C1BFC4FF1A752A, out\index.html D44D3B8F637B17FC75C9F3EA14BC08166A7FA931DE46B6EA41971CCD6131F553, out\keytar.node 391976EA3AF33D6697A9DF2E007A8A00D5C7E0AA6F08C7ECEEB21FB483591C09, and Electron 082D352EFC6A9F5882354EE4096AE0B40B78BC6C8E52FC5084F3DF9254C613FF.
• Cross-worktree incident: the first hydrated build preserved the source junction as out\emoji; its normal out\emoji\unicode removal traversed to the default checkout and deleted 845 tracked submodule images. The M24 task applied and dropped preservation stash c92556b9f422ac258eebabebb79a1a87a8a66a37, leaving the 845 deletions intentionally preserved and unstaged in the default submodule with an empty stash list. Those paths and the default checkout remain M24-owned state; this audit must not restore, reset, stage, delete, or otherwise alter them.

• Final headless desktop: DesktopMaterialAuditFinal-20260720-9f64a2c1-r6
• Temporary-root state: created and path-validated beneath %TEMP%
• Fixture state: deterministic material-shell branch at ab393b42a40bef78ede163ee6786811707bf4659, tracking the owned bare remote, with exactly eight intended working-tree changes (five modified, three new).
• Diagnostic desktop state: created exactly once with handle 1124; closed with closed: true after its window list reached zero.
• Diagnostic launch PID: 25532; the alternate-desktop graceful close failed closed, so its exact executable, out\main.js, profile, fixture, and CDP port were revalidated before terminating only this saved PID.
• Diagnostic resolved HWND: 223937652 (Desktop Material, Chrome_WidgetWin_1, dynamically resolved from the named desktop).
• Diagnostic runtime cleanup: production credential deleted and independently verified absent; provider PID 23188/port 62739 stopped after exact command-line and listener ownership validation; CDP port 62800 absent; owned root removed; all process/listener/root checks returned absent.
• Second diagnostic desktop state: created exactly once with handle 1304; closed with closed: true after its window list reached zero.
• Second diagnostic launch PID/HWND: 34620 / 354878052; exact provenance was revalidated before saved-PID fallback cleanup.
• Second diagnostic provider/CDP: provider PID 34584 / port 58469; CDP port 58519; credential independently verified absent and every process, listener, desktop, and owned-root check passed after cleanup.
• Third diagnostic desktop state: created exactly once with handle 1276; closed with closed: true after its window list reached zero.
• Third diagnostic launch PID/HWND: 16696 / 3670620; exact provenance was revalidated before saved-PID fallback cleanup.
• Third diagnostic provider/CDP: provider PID 18916 / port 65287; CDP port 65338; credential independently verified absent and every live process, listener, desktop, and owned-root check passed after cleanup. Three ownerless TIME_WAIT rows remained briefly on the CDP port with OwningProcess=0; there was no listener or live child process.
• Fourth diagnostic desktop state: created exactly once with handle 964; closed with closed: true after its window list reached zero.
• Fourth diagnostic launch PID: 36380; exact executable, out\main.js, profile, fixture, and CDP port provenance was revalidated before terminating only this saved PID after the alternate-desktop close failed closed.
• Fourth diagnostic resolved HWND: 27460744 (Desktop Material, Chrome_WidgetWin_1, dynamically resolved from the final named desktop)
• Fourth diagnostic provider PID/port: serving PID 20016 plus its exact owned Python launcher PID 31036 / port 50784; both were stopped only after command-line, root, script, and listener ownership validation.
• Fourth diagnostic CDP port: 50840
• Fourth diagnostic failure evidence: the selected state was Repository / Changes and matched the owned fixture by ID and path; the toolbar existed and consumed both root and neutral-child context-menu events, but the dispatcher reported isElementAppearanceCoordinatorReady() === false and the visible notice read Element appearance settings are not initialized. The owned application log traced this to a renderer reload abandoning the empty default-repository-logo.desktop-material.lock during profile-store initialization. None of the eight diagnostic PNGs were promoted.
• Fourth diagnostic cleanup: production credential deleted and independently verified absent; both owned provider processes, provider/CDP listeners, Electron process tree, named desktop, and runtime root verified absent. Port 8765 retained only the standing MCP daemon listener (PID 3764).
• Fifth diagnostic desktop state: created exactly once with handle 1068; closed with closed: true after its window list reached zero.
• Fifth diagnostic launch PID/HWND: 5824 / 113444168; exact executable, bundle, profile, fixture, and CDP provenance was revalidated before the saved-PID fallback cleanup.
• Fifth diagnostic provider/CDP: serving PID 12944 plus exact owned launcher PID 34652 / provider port 52059; CDP port 52116.
• Fifth diagnostic failure evidence: all coordinator gates passed, the selected Repository / Changes state matched the owned fixture, and the toolbar event was consumed. The 120-character root produced existing appearance Git object paths of 259 characters; subsequent lazy repository element initialization failed git add -A with Filename too long, so the async editor target was never assigned. None of the eight diagnostic PNGs were promoted.
• Fifth diagnostic cleanup: production credential deleted and independently verified absent; both owned provider processes, provider/CDP listeners, Electron process tree, named desktop, and runtime root verified absent. Port 8765 retained only the standing MCP daemon listener (PID 3764).
• Final desktop state: not created
• Final launch PID: not assigned
