Expected UI state: every reachable Desktop Material surface, dialog,
sheet, toolbar, tab, menu, field, chip, list row, status,
empty/error/loading state, theme, language mode, and responsive
breakpoint is inventoried and compared with the interactive
Desktop Material v2.dc.html prototype and its seven 924 x
540 reference screenshots.
Background-only interaction order: preflight the fixed Lowlevel MCP
server; build the unpackaged app; create a disposable Git fixture and
isolated user data; launch on one uniquely named Win32 headless desktop;
capture the base workspace; traverse navigation, workspace states,
repository/branch sheets, clone, settings, history manager, tab
appearance, regex builder, automation, Actions, notifications,
provider/account surfaces, language modes, light/dark themes, and
representative responsive widths; close the exact audited HWND and
remove only owned temporary paths.
Screenshot targets: native 924 x 540 reference size for
direct comparisons, plus 1280 x 800,
1440 x 900, and narrow 760 x 720 coverage
where the implementation exposes additional or responsive UI; light and
dark themes.
