fix(android): 48dp min hit targets on action buttons

Action buttons sized to text + 8 px padding made "Undo" end up
~46 x 33 px — fine for a mouse but at the threshold of a finger.
Adds `min_width: 48 px` and `min_height: 48 px` to the button
Node so every button meets Material's 48 dp thumb-target guideline.

Applied universally; the floor is a no-op for buttons whose
content already exceeds 48 px on either axis (Menu, Modes,
New Game, Pause, Help all clear 48 px wide; height was the
binding constraint at ~33 px).

Closes P1 #2 of docs/android/PLAYABILITY_TODO.md. Engine tests
pass; clippy clean.

 ## [Unreleased]
 
-No threads in flight. v0.21.1 cut on 2026-05-08; CHANGELOG accumulates
+## [0.22.0] — 2026-05-08
-the next cycle here.
+
+Adds difficulty-tier game selection, Android JNI bridges for keystore and
+clipboard, Play-by-Seed dialog, and double-tap auto-move on touch screens.
+Also closes the Prev/Next replay-selector spawn-site item carried since v0.19.0.
+
+### Added
+
+- **Difficulty-tier game mode** (this release).
+  `DifficultyLevel` enum (`Easy / Medium / Hard / Expert / Grandmaster /
+  Random`) added to `solitaire_core::game_state` alongside a new
+  `GameMode::Difficulty(DifficultyLevel)` variant. Five pre-verified seed
+  catalogs (40 seeds each, 200 total) are generated by the new
+  `gen_difficulty_seeds` binary in `solitaire_assetgen`; each catalog
+  contains seeds proven winnable at progressively larger solver budgets
+  (1 K → 200 K moves). `DifficultyPlugin` resolves `StartDifficultyRequestEvent`
+  → catalog seed → `NewGameRequestEvent`; the `Random` tier uses a
+  system-time seed and intentionally bypasses the winnable-only filter.
+  The home overlay gains an expandable `▶ Difficulty` section between the
+  Draw Mode row and the mode-card grid; the last-played tier is persisted
+  in `Settings::last_difficulty` and pre-expands/highlights on re-open.
+  Difficulty wins pool into Classic stats (no separate buckets).
+- **Prev/Next replay selector in the Stats overlay** (`a449f60`).
+  `ReplayPrevButton`, `ReplayNextButton`, `ReplaySelectorCaption`, and
+  `ReplaySelectorDetail` nodes now spawn inside `spawn_stats_screen`
+  as a flex row of two bordered chips flanking a `"Replay N / M"`
+  caption, with a detail line below showing the selected replay's
+  duration + date and an optional `"· Shareable"` badge. Both chips
+  carry `ModalButton(Secondary)` so the existing `repaint_modal_buttons`
+  paint loop gives them hover/press feedback at zero extra cost.
+  `repaint_replay_selector_detail` is wired into the existing
+  `.chain()` alongside `handle_replay_selector_buttons` and
+  `repaint_replay_selector_caption`. The click handler and repaint
+  systems have been registered (and dormant) since v0.19.0; this
+  commit is purely the missing spawn site.
+- **6 new selector unit tests** (`a449f60`). Covers: spawn-site
+  presence (Prev, Next, Caption, Detail all spawn with the screen),
+  caption initial text ("Replay 1 / 1"), detail initial text
+  ("{dur} win on {date}"), Shareable badge when `share_url` is set,
+  empty-history "No replays" caption, and ordinal wrapping.
+  `make_test_replay(time_seconds, share_url)` helper encapsulates
+  `Replay::new(...)` + `chrono::NaiveDate`.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **`const { assert!() }` for dim-layer z-order test** (`a449f60`).
+  Converted `assert!(Z_REPLAY_DIM < Z_REPLAY_OVERLAY, …)` in
+  `replay_overlay` tests to `const { assert!(…) }` to satisfy
+  `clippy::assertions_on_constants` (constant-fold at compile time
+  rather than a runtime no-op).
+
+### Added (post-cut, same pending release)
+
+- **Double-tap auto-move on touch screens** (`395a322`).
+  `handle_double_tap` fires `MoveRequestEvent` (single card to
+  foundation/tableau, or a whole face-up stack via
+  `best_tableau_destination_for_stack`) when two `TouchPhase::Ended`
+  events on the same card arrive within `DOUBLE_TAP_WINDOW` (0.5 s,
+  slightly wider than the mouse `DOUBLE_CLICK_WINDOW` to account for
+  touch latency). If no legal destination exists, fires
+  `MoveRejectedEvent` (audio + visual rejection feedback).  The system
+  is inserted into the touch drag chain immediately before
+  `touch_end_drag` so `DragState.active_touch_id` and `committed` are
+  still readable; the tap timestamp is tracked in a `Local<HashMap<u32,
+  f32>>` keyed by card ID.
+- **Play-by-Seed dialog** (`0cb1587`).
+  `PlayBySeedPlugin` adds a numeric-input modal that accepts a decimal
+  seed, runs a solver preview in the background (debounced 500 ms via
+  `AsyncComputeTaskPool`), and shows a win/no-win verdict before
+  dealing.  A new `HomeMode::PlayBySeed` card in the home overlay fires
+  `StartPlayBySeedRequestEvent`; the handler in `PlayBySeedPlugin`
+  spawns the dialog.  Digit, Backspace, Enter (confirm), and Escape
+  (cancel) are handled via `ButtonInput<KeyCode>`.  Five unit tests
+  cover spawn, digit append, buffer read, confirm, and cancel paths.
+- **75 new challenge seeds** (`2062bd0`).
+  New `gen_seeds` binary in `solitaire_assetgen` brute-searches seeds
+  in the `0xCAFEBABE…` namespace and filters for hands solvable in
+  ≤250 moves via the core solver.  The 75 confirmed-win seeds are
+  appended to `CHALLENGE_SEEDS` in `solitaire_data::challenge`.
+
+### Fixed (post-cut, same pending release)
+
+- **Gate `handle_fullscreen` to non-Android** (`45436d0`).
+  F11 fullscreen toggle makes no sense on Android (the OS owns window
+  sizing); the fn and its `MonitorSelection`/`WindowMode` imports are
+  now `#[cfg(not(target_os = "android"))]`-gated.  The `add_systems`
+  call is extracted as a separate statement so `#[cfg]` can annotate it
+  (attributes cannot appear mid-chain in Rust).
+- **Android APK launch: export `android_main`** (`202a64d`).
+  `NativeActivity` dlopen-s `libsolitaire_app.so` and calls
+  `android_main` as its entry point. Without the symbol the app
+  crashed immediately with `UnsatisfiedLinkError`. The new function
+  sets `bevy::android::ANDROID_APP` (required by `WinitPlugin`) then
+  delegates to `run()` — equivalent to what `#[bevy_main]` would
+  generate, but usable on an arbitrary entry point name.
+- **Android APK launch: gate `resize_constraints` to non-Android**
+  (`202a64d`). On Android `max_width/max_height` default to `0.0`;
+  Bevy's clamp panicked with `min=800 > max=0`.
+- **Android APK launch: gate `apply_smart_default_window_size` to
+  non-Android** (`202a64d`). The system calls `.clamp(800.0,
+  logical_w)` which panics when the emulator reports zero window
+  dimensions during early Android lifecycle events. The OS controls
+  window size on Android; the system is irrelevant there.
+- **Ignore `.idea/` IDE project files** (`16242e6`). Android Studio
+  created `.idea/` when the project was opened during APK
+  verification; added to `.gitignore` and removed the accidentally-
+  committed files.
+
+### Android verification result
+
+APK boots on `x86_64-linux-android` in a Pixel_7 AVD (Android 14 /
+API 34, SwiftShader Vulkan). App runs for 2+ minutes without crashing.
+Bevy renderer initialises, splash screen loads. This is the first

+
+## [0.21.8] — 2026-05-08
+
+Patch release for replay-overlay polish. Through-line:
+**notch-label centering + WIN MOVE HC legibility + HC system extension**.
+All three items were "optional polish" flagged in the v0.21.7 handoff;
+all three ship in two commits.
+
+### Added
+
+- **`STATE_SUCCESS_HC` constant** (`c50eaf8`). Brighter lime
+  (`#c8e862`, L≈0.73) in `ui_theme` for use wherever the
+  standard `STATE_SUCCESS` (`#acc267`, L≈0.51) needs extra
+  luminance under HC mode. Sits above the bumped notch ticks
+  (`BORDER_SUBTLE_HC` gray, L≈0.60) so a WIN MOVE marker at
+  this colour is unambiguous.
+- **`HighContrastBackground::with_hc(default, hc)` constructor**
+  (`c50eaf8`). Extends `HighContrastBackground` with an
+  `hc_color: Color` field (default = `BORDER_SUBTLE_HC` via
+  `with_default()`). `update_high_contrast_backgrounds` now
+  reads `marker.hc_color` instead of the hardcoded constant —
+  backwards-compatible; all existing `with_default()` usages
+  continue to bump to gray.
+- **WIN MOVE scrub-bar marker HC bump** (`c50eaf8`). Marker
+  now carries `HighContrastBackground::with_hc(STATE_SUCCESS,
+  STATE_SUCCESS_HC)` so the lime stays lime under HC (brighter
+  lime rather than gray). Pin test locks both the default and
+  HC colour fields on the spawned entity.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Scrub-bar notch-label centering** (`b44d277`). Middle
+  three labels ("25%", "50%", "75%") previously had their
+  left edge at the notch; now their text centre coincides
+  with the notch tick. Implemented using the CSS
+  `translateX(-50%)` pattern for Bevy 0.18 UI: a fixed
+  `SCRUB_LABEL_CENTER_WIDTH = 36 px` container with
+  `margin.left = -18 px` is placed at `left: Percent(pct)`,
+  and `Justify::Center` centres the text within it. Endpoint
+  labels ("0%", "100%") keep their flush-left / flush-right
+  anchoring. `with_default()` remains one-argument.
+
+### Stats
+
+- Tests: 1276 passing / 0 failing (engine: 831)
+- Clippy: clean
+- Crates touched: `solitaire_engine` (replay_overlay.rs,
+  ui_theme.rs, settings_plugin.rs)
+
+## [0.21.7] — 2026-05-08
+
+Patch release closing the last major B-2 sub-piece. Through-line:
+**mini-tableau preview dim layer**. The mockup's "Game Peek Band at
+50 % opacity" is now implemented as a full-screen UI scrim that darkens
+the card world during replay so the chrome (banner + move-log panel)
+reads clearly against the scene.
+
+### Added
+
+- **Full-screen tableau dim layer** (`da3e542`). Spawns a
+  `ReplayTableauDimLayer` UI node (100 % × 100 %, 50 % opacity
+  black) at `Z_REPLAY_DIM = Z_REPLAY_OVERLAY − 1 = 54` whenever
+  a replay starts; despawned alongside the banner and move-log
+  panel when the replay ends. Bevy's UI/world compositor means
+  no changes to `card_plugin` are needed — UI nodes always
+  render above world-space sprites regardless of `Transform.z`.
+  The dim layer carries no `Interaction` component (purely
+  visual; pointer events pass through). Adds `Z_REPLAY_DIM`
+  and `TABLEAU_DIM_ALPHA` constants plus two new tests:
+  lifecycle (spawn/despawn mirrors the floating-chip pattern)
+  and z-ordering invariant (`Z_REPLAY_DIM < Z_REPLAY_OVERLAY`
+  pinned). 1275 tests pass / 0 failing.
+
+### Stats
+
+- Tests: 1275 passing / 0 failing
+- Clippy: clean
+- Crates touched: `solitaire_engine` (replay_overlay.rs)
+
+## [0.21.6] — 2026-05-08
+
+Patch release for the post-v0.21.5 work. Through-line:
+**Move Log panel + scrub-UX polish**. v0.21.5 closed out the
+keyboard-accelerator surface (Space / Esc / ← / →) and the
+keybind footer; v0.21.6 builds on that with two parallel
+threads — accessibility + scrub-on-hold polish for the v0.21.5
+surfaces, plus a brand-new Move Log panel anchored to the
+viewport's bottom edge that gives players a 5-row recent-and-
+upcoming move history alongside the existing top-edge banner.
+
+The Move Log panel is the first replay-overlay surface that
+*isn't* attached to the banner — it lives at a separate screen
+anchor (bottom: 0) with its own spawn/despawn lifecycle.
+Establishes the pattern for "multi-anchor replay UI" that the
+remaining B-2 sub-piece (mini-tableau preview) will inherit.
+
+### Added
+
+- **HC-mode coverage for the scrub track + quarter-mark notch
+  ticks** (`d3cb1a5`). Adds parallel primitive
+  `HighContrastBackground` to `ui_theme` and a paint system
+  `update_high_contrast_backgrounds` in `settings_plugin` that
+  mirrors the existing border-marker pattern but targets
+  `BackgroundColor` instead of `BorderColor`. Tags the 1 px
+  scrub track Node and all five quarter-mark notch ticks so
+  they bump from `BORDER_SUBTLE` (`#505050`) →
+  `BORDER_SUBTLE_HC` (`#a0a0a0`) under HC mode. Scrub fill
+  (`ACCENT_PRIMARY`) and WIN MOVE marker (`STATE_SUCCESS`)
+  don't get the marker — accent and state colours are already
+  saturated and don't need an HC luminance variant.
+- **Continuous scrub on key-held arrow keys** (`2e25476`).
+  Holding ← or → triggers continuous step at 100 ms cadence
+  (10 steps/sec) — matches the mockup's `[← →] scrub`
+  terminology while keeping single-press = single-step
+  semantics. Per-key accumulators in a new
+  `ReplayScrubKeyHold` resource; `just_pressed` events bypass
+  the accumulator and fire immediately. Release resets to 0
+  so the next fresh press fires immediately rather than at
+  half-interval.
+- **Move Log panel** (`d6f32d3` + `140251b` + `e7345ae` +
+  `4437a1a`). New bottom-edge UI panel showing a 5-row window
+  onto recent + upcoming moves: 2 prev rows above the active
+  row + active row highlighted in `ACCENT_PRIMARY` + 2 next
+  rows below. Header reads `▌ MOVE LOG · N/M` (or
+  `▌ MOVE LOG · COMPLETE` when finished). Active row carries
+  a `▶` focus prefix and `TEXT_PRIMARY_HC` text colour for
+  legible contrast against the brick-red highlight. Prev /
+  next rows render in `TEXT_SECONDARY` so the active row
+  stays the focal point.
+  - Sibling-of-banner pattern (separate root entity anchored
+    at viewport bottom, not a banner child) — same
+    spawn/despawn lifecycle as `ReplayFloatingProgressChip`,
+    different screen anchor.
+  - Five pure helpers handle the formatting:
+    `format_pile`, `format_move_body`,
+    `format_move_log_header`, `format_kth_recent_row` (active
+    + prev), `format_kth_next_row` (next). 1-indexed display
+    numbers throughout (`Foundation(2)` reads as "foundation
+    3" rather than the enum's 0-index).
+  - Panel grows from 56 → 84 → 112 px across the four
+    move-log commits. `MOVE_LOG_PREV_ROWS` and
+    `MOVE_LOG_NEXT_ROWS` constants (both = 2) parameterise
+    the row count; `format_kth_recent_row` and
+    `format_kth_next_row` return empty for out-of-range k so
+    panels gracefully under-fill at the start (cursor=1) and
+    end (cursor=N-1) of a replay.
+  - HC marker on the panel's top border so the 1 px edge
+    bumps under HC mode (same pattern as the keybind footer).
+
+### Changed
+
+- **`react_to_state_change` despawns the Move Log panel** on
+  `Playing → Inactive` alongside the banner root and floating
+  progress chip. Third query in the same defer-and-despawn
+  cycle.
+- **Move Log panel height grew 56 → 84 → 112 px** across the
+  prev-rows and next-rows commits. The panel is sized to fit
+  the chosen row count + header + padding; tunable via the
+  `MOVE_LOG_PANEL_HEIGHT` const.
+- **`format_active_move_row` now prefixes the `▶` focus
+  marker** (`e7345ae`). Wraps `format_kth_recent_row(state, 1)`
+  and prepends the prefix when the body is non-empty. Empty
+  case still returns empty — cursor=0 doesn't paint a stray
+  `▶` on an otherwise-empty row.
+
+### Documentation
+
+- `SESSION_HANDOFF.md` refreshed twice this cycle — once
+  recording the HC paint + continuous-scrub polish, then
+  again as the Move Log arc shipped commit-by-commit. The
+  Resume menu's B option now traces the full arc:
+  notches → labels → footer → ESC → HC → arrow keys →
+  HC paint → continuous scrub → move log.
+
+### Stats
+
+- **1273 passing tests / 0 failing** across the workspace
+  (net +23 from v0.21.5's 1250 baseline):
+  - 2 from `d3cb1a5` (HC marker on track + notches).
+  - 2 from `2e25476` (continuous-scrub repeat-while-held +
+    release-resets-accumulator).

+
+## [0.21.5] — 2026-05-08
+
+Patch release for the post-v0.21.4 work. One through-line:
+**replay-overlay scrubbing affordances + accessibility**. v0.21.4
+shipped pause / resume / step + the WIN MOVE marker as the first
+*scrubbing-shaped* additions to the replay overlay; v0.21.5
+fills out the rest of the scrubbing UX so the player has both
+visual anchor points (notches + labels) and a complete keyboard
+control surface (Space / Esc / ← / →) for navigating a paused
+replay.
+
+Two of the six commits in this cycle are layout-changing — they
+grow the banner height from 60 px → 76 px → 92 px to make room
+for the notch labels and keybind footer. Banner geometry was
+fixed for every prior B-2 commit; this release establishes the
+"grow the container, add a flex-column child" pattern that the
+remaining B-2 sub-pieces (move-log scroller, mini-tableau
+preview) will inherit when they land.
+
+### Added
+
+- **Quarter-mark scrub-bar notches** (`fe68861`). Five 1 px
+  vertical ticks at 0 / 25 / 50 / 75 / 100 % give the player
+  visual anchor points without needing to mentally bisect the
+  bar. Pure helper `scrub_notch_positions()` returns the fixed
+  array; spawn loop sits next to the WIN MOVE marker spawn so
+  the lifecycles match. Notches paint in `BORDER_SUBTLE` (same
+  as the unfilled track) and rely on extending past the 1 px
+  track (5 px tall, anchored 2 px above the track top) for
+  visibility — same trick the WIN MOVE marker uses. Spawned
+  *after* the WIN MOVE marker so a notch and the marker
+  landing on the same percentage paint the marker on top.
+- **Percentage labels under each notch** (`d322abf`). Five
+  `0%` / `25%` / `50%` / `75%` / `100%` labels in a new 16 px
+  row beneath the 1 px scrub track give the player explicit
+  quarter-mark readouts. Banner grew from 60 → 76 px to
+  accommodate the row — first **layout-changing** commit in
+  the B-2 arc. Pure helper `scrub_notch_labels()` returns the
+  fixed array, paired index-for-index with
+  `scrub_notch_positions()`. Spawn loop applies an "endpoints
+  flush, middle three percent-anchored" positioning pattern:
+  leftmost label gets `left: 0`, rightmost gets `right: 0`,
+  middle three anchor at `left: Val::Percent(p)` since Bevy
+  0.18 UI lacks a clean CSS-style `translate-x: -50%`
+  centering primitive. Label colour is `TEXT_SECONDARY`
+  rather than the mockup's `BORDER_SUBTLE` (the latter would
+  match the notches but is too low-contrast against
+  `BG_ELEVATED_HI` to read at 12 px).
+- **Keybind-hint footer** (`1873b3f`). Vim-style mode line on
+  the left (`▌ NORMAL │ replay`) plus a keybind hint on the
+  right at the bottom edge of the banner. Banner grew from
+  76 → 92 px to fit the 16 px footer row. Surfaces every
+  wired keyboard accelerator visually so CLAUDE.md §3.3's
+  UI-first contract holds for keyboard accelerators too. The
+  footer lists *only* keybinds that are actually wired —
+  the only-wired-keybinds discipline means each release
+  cycle's hint string is a precise honest contract with the
+  player. Two pure helpers (`keybind_footer_mode_text`,
+  `keybind_footer_hint_text`) keep the static text testable.
+  1 px top border in `BORDER_SUBTLE` separates the footer
+  from the labels row.
+- **ESC keyboard accelerator for replay-stop** (`90e24d9`).
+  New `handle_stop_keyboard` system parallels
+  `handle_pause_keyboard` in shape — fires only when state
+  is `Playing`, calls `stop_replay_playback`. Cross-plugin
+  coordination via `pause_plugin::toggle_pause`: added a
+  fourth defer-if check
+  (`replay_state.is_some_and(|s| s.is_playing())`) right
+  after the existing `other_modal_scrims` check so ESC
+  during active replay belongs to the replay overlay, not
+  the pause modal.
+- **HC-mode coverage for the keybind-footer top border**
+  (`23902cd`).
+  `HighContrastBorder::with_default(BORDER_SUBTLE)` marker
+  on the footer's border-carrying Node so the existing
+  `apply_high_contrast_borders` system bumps the 1 px top
+  border from `#505050` → `#a0a0a0` when
+  `Settings::high_contrast_mode` is on. Without the marker
+  the footer reads as floating loose under HC because the
+  border that anchors it to the labels row is
+  near-invisible.
+- **← / → keyboard accelerators for paused stepping**
+  (`e5c4f51`). New `step_backwards_replay_playback` in
+  `replay_playback.rs` decrements the cursor and dispatches
+  `UndoRequestEvent`; the game's `handle_undo` reads it
+  next frame to reverse its most-recent move. Hooks the
+  existing undo system rather than replaying-forward-from-
+  zero — every replay-applied move pushes to the undo stack
+  the same way a player move would, so undo is the right
+  reversal primitive. Both arrow keys are paused-only via
+  the same destructure-gate pattern the forward step uses.
+  The mockup labels these `[← →] scrub`; single-move step
+  is the closest behaviour shippable today, so the footer
+  hint reads `[← →] step` — only-wired-keybinds discipline.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Banner height grew 60 → 76 → 92 px** across two
+  layout-changing commits (`d322abf` then `1873b3f`). Top
+  row's `flex_grow: 1.0` still consumes 59 px so the
+  existing content (label / progress chip / buttons) has
+  the same vertical space; the new rows (16 px labels +
+  16 px footer) extend the banner downward into the
+  gameplay area. Banner geometry is now mutable — every
+  prior B-2 commit fit inside fixed 60 px space.
+- **Keybind-footer hint text grew alongside the wirings**:
+  `[SPACE] pause/resume` →
+  `[SPACE] pause/resume · [ESC] stop` →
+  `[SPACE] pause/resume · [ESC] stop · [← →] step`.
+- **`pause_plugin::toggle_pause` now defers when a replay
+  is active** (`90e24d9`). Adds a fourth defer-if check to
+  the existing modal-stack pattern.
+- **`ReplayOverlayPlugin` registers
+  `add_message::<UndoRequestEvent>()`** (`e5c4f51`).
+  Defensive registration so the plugin runs cleanly under
+  `MinimalPlugins` without `GamePlugin` attached.
+
+### Documentation
+
+- `SESSION_HANDOFF.md` refreshed five times this cycle.
+  The B option in the Resume menu now traces the full arc:
+  notches → labels → footer → ESC → HC → arrow keys.
+- The pre-existing `daily_challenge` warning test that
+  fails when wall-clock UTC is within 30 minutes of
+  midnight is documented in this cycle's handoff. Same
+  shape as the earlier `winnable_seed_search` flake —
+  time-dependent, deterministically passes outside the
+  trigger window.
+
+### Stats
+
+- **1250 total tests / 1249 passing / 1 pre-existing
+  time-dependent flake** across the workspace (net +22 from
+  v0.21.4's 1228 baseline):
+  - 4 from `fe68861` (scrub-notch coverage)
+  - 4 from `d322abf` (notch-label coverage)
+  - 4 from `1873b3f` (keybind-footer coverage)
+  - 3 from `90e24d9` (ESC-accelerator coverage)
+  - 1 from `23902cd` (HC-marker coverage)
+  - 6 from `e5c4f51` (arrow-keyboard coverage)
+- **Pre-existing flake**:
+  `daily_challenge_plugin::tests::check_system_fires_warning_event_only_once_per_day`
+  fails when wall-clock UTC is within 30 minutes of
+  midnight. Verified pre-existing by stash-and-retest
+  before each commit. Will pass deterministically outside
+  the trigger window. Not introduced by this release.
+- Clippy clean across the workspace.
+
+## [0.21.4] — 2026-05-08
+
+Patch release for the post-v0.21.3 work. One through-line:
+**replay-scrubbing accessibility**. The replay overlay used to be
+pure-passive — the player started a replay, watched it execute,
+and waited for it to end. v0.21.4 adds the scaffolding for
+*navigating within* a replay: a WIN MOVE marker on the scrub bar
+so the player can see at a glance where the winning move sits,
+and pause / resume / step controls so they can stop on any move
+and inspect the board.
+
+The work is also the first three commits on the B-2 replay
+screen-takeover redesign arc. The remaining pieces (screen-
+takeover layout, move-log scroller, mini-tableau preview) are
+deferred to a future cycle because they need a layout reflow
+that the existing banner-only overlay can't carry.
+
+### Added
+
+- **`Replay::win_move_index: Option<usize>` data field**
+  (`ab857bb`). Additive optional field on the persisted
+  `Replay` shape. `#[serde(default)]` keeps older
+  `latest_replay.json` / `replays.json` files loadable without
+  bumping `REPLAY_SCHEMA_VERSION` — this is purely additive.
+  Populated at the live recording site
+  (`game_plugin::handle_game_won`) via a new builder-style
+  setter `Replay::with_win_move_index`. For fresh recordings
+  the value is always `Some(moves.len() - 1)` because recording
+  freezes on win, but storing it explicitly lets the playback
+  UI read the WIN MOVE position directly without re-deriving
+  on every render.
+- **WIN MOVE scrub-bar marker** (`52befa6`). New
+  `ReplayOverlayWinMoveMarker` component spawned as a sibling
+  to `ReplayOverlayScrubFill` under the 1px scrub track,
+  absolute-positioned at `replay.win_move_index / total %` of
+  the bar. Painted in `STATE_SUCCESS` (green) so the marker
+  reads as "this is where the win lives." Pure helper
+  `win_move_marker_pct` returns `None` for any state where the
+  marker shouldn't draw (Inactive, Completed, replay missing
+  the field, empty move list); percentage clamps to `[0, 100]`
+  defensively. Spawn-time only — the position never changes
+  during a single playback because the underlying `Replay` is
+  immutable while `Playing`.
+- **Pause / Resume / Step playback controls** (`fbe48ac`). New
+  `paused: bool` field on `ReplayPlaybackState::Playing`.
+  `tick_replay_playback` skips the `secs_to_next` decrement
+  entirely while paused so cursor and timer freeze together;
+  resuming starts the next move from a full interval. New
+  public API: `toggle_pause_replay_playback` and
+  `step_replay_playback` (the latter hard-gated to `Playing {
+  paused: true }` via the destructure pattern itself, so
+  manual stepping can't race the tick loop). On-screen Pause
+  and Step buttons sit alongside the existing Stop button;
+  `Space` keyboard accelerator toggles pause / resume.
+- **`Replay::with_win_move_index` builder** (`ab857bb`).
+  Chainable setter so the recording site can write
+  `Replay::new(...).with_win_move_index(idx)`. Keeps
+  `Replay::new`'s signature stable across the 13+ existing
+  test-fixture call sites that don't care about the field.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **`Replay::new` writes `win_move_index: None`** (`ab857bb`).
+  Existing canonical constructor stays signature-compatible
+  with all existing callers. The field is opt-in via the
+  builder.
+- **`game_plugin::handle_game_won` populates the new field**
+  (`ab857bb`). The recording site computes
+  `recording.moves.len().checked_sub(1)` as the win-move
+  index. `checked_sub` rather than direct subtraction guards
+  the unreachable empty-recording branch (which is also
+  guarded earlier in the function).
+- **`tick_replay_playback` honors the new `paused` flag**
+  (`fbe48ac`). Skipping the timer decrement is the only
+  behavior change; the loop body and Completed-detection are
+  unchanged. Stepping fires moves directly via
+  `step_replay_playback`, bypassing the tick path entirely.
+- **Pause / Resume button label is reactive** (`fbe48ac`).
+  `update_pause_button_label` walks `Children` from the
+  marked button to its inner `Text` and repaints the label
+  whenever `ReplayPlaybackState` changes. Pure helper
+  `pause_button_label` covers all four state arms (running,
+  paused, inactive, completed).
+- **25 existing `Playing { ... }` construction sites gained
+  `paused: false`** (`fbe48ac`). Mechanical edit across
+  `replay_overlay`, `achievement_plugin`, and
+  `replay_playback` tests to satisfy the new field
+  requirement. No behavioral change.
+
+### Documentation
+
+- `SESSION_HANDOFF.md` refreshed three times this cycle —
+  once after each post-cut feature commit. The B-2 entry in
+  the Visual-identity follow-ups list now points at the
+  remaining sub-pieces (screen-takeover layout, move-log
+  scroller, mini-tableau preview) as a single multi-session
+  arc rather than three independent ones, since they share a
+  layout-reflow prerequisite.
+
+### Stats
+
+- **1228 passing tests / 0 failing** across the workspace
+  (net +21 from v0.21.3's 1207 baseline):

+    constructor, builder set / set-None, on-disk round-trip,
+    legacy-JSON-loads-with-None backward-compat. The last
+    test pins the no-schema-bump claim — if a future refactor
+    drops the `#[serde(default)]`, that test catches it.
+  - 8 from `52befa6`'s WIN MOVE marker: pure-helper truth

+
+## [0.21.3] — 2026-05-08
+
+Patch release for the post-v0.21.2 work. One through-line:
+**accessibility arc closure**. v0.21.2 explicitly carved out
+"dynamic-paint sites" (HUD action buttons, modal buttons, radial
+menu rim) on the assumption that their existing paint cycles would
+race the central `update_high_contrast_borders` system. v0.21.3
+walks the actual code, finds the carve-out was over-cautious, and
+closes it. Bonus: the first real consumer of `ToastVariant::Warning`
+also lands here, making the `ToastVariant` enum fully load-bearing
+(every variant has at least one driver).
+
+### Added
+
+- **`WarningToastEvent(String)` — first `ToastVariant::Warning`
+  consumer** (`279e23d`). Generic carrier message that any system
+  can fire to spawn a 4 s amber-bordered fire-and-forget toast.
+  Mirrors the v0.21.2 `MoveRejectedEvent` → `Error` toast wiring:
+  domain message crosses the plugin boundary, the animation
+  plugin's `handle_warning_toast` system reads it and spawns. Not
+  queued (Warning is alert-shaped, not info-shaped — should never
+  block on a queue).
+- **Daily-challenge-expiry warning** (`279e23d`). First in-engine
+  driver of `WarningToastEvent`. New
+  `daily_challenge_plugin::check_daily_expiry_warning` system
+  fires at most once per `DailyChallengeResource::date` when the
+  player is within 30 min of UTC midnight reset and today's
+  challenge isn't yet complete. Suppression decided by a pure
+  helper (`compute_expiry_warning_minutes`) covering: already-
+  completed-today, already-shown-for-this-date, outside the
+  threshold window, post-midnight rollover. Pure-helper-plus-
+  thin-system shape because `Utc::now()` can't be pinned without
+  injecting a clock resource — overkill for one consumer.
+- **`radial_rim_outline` pure helper** (`c153363`). Decision
+  logic for the radial-menu rim outline colour. Resting outlines
+  always carry `BORDER_SUBTLE`; focused outlines carry
+  `BORDER_STRONG` normally and `BORDER_SUBTLE_HC` under HC. Naive
+  marker substitution would invert the focused-vs-resting
+  hierarchy because `BORDER_SUBTLE_HC` (`#a0a0a0`) is *lighter*
+  than `BORDER_STRONG` (`#505050`); folding the choice in here
+  keeps the focused rim more visible under HC, not less.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **HC marker pattern extended to HUD action buttons + modal
+  buttons** (`c153363`). Re-reading the code revealed both sites'
+  paint systems (`paint_action_buttons`, `paint_modal_buttons`)
+  only mutate `BackgroundColor` — `BorderColor` is set once at
+  spawn and never touched. So the existing
+  `HighContrastBorder::with_default(BORDER_SUBTLE)` marker
+  pattern works cleanly for both, no race. v0.21.2's carve-out
+  comment was based on assumed-but-not-actual race risk; this
+  cycle treats it as the doc-vs-implementation drift pattern in
+  the wild and verifies before trusting.
+- **Radial menu rim folds HC into per-frame respawn**
+  (`c153363`). The rim is the only true dynamic-painter of the
+  three carved-out sites — `radial_redraw_overlay` despawns and
+  respawns all rim sprites every frame the radial is `Active`.
+  The `HighContrastBorder` marker can't apply (entities don't
+  persist across frames) so HC is read directly in the system
+  via `Option<Res<SettingsResource>>` and routed through
+  `radial_rim_outline`. The `Option<Res<...>>` shape preserves
+  test compatibility under `MinimalPlugins`.
+- **Animation plugin registers `WarningToastEvent`** (`279e23d`).
+  Joins `InfoToastEvent`, `MoveRejectedEvent` etc. in
+  `AnimationPlugin::build`. Daily-challenge plugin also
+  registers it (idempotent) so the message exists when running
+  the daily plugin under `MinimalPlugins` without the animation
+  plugin attached.
+
+### Documentation
+
+- `SESSION_HANDOFF.md` refreshed twice this cycle — once after
+  the Toast Warning wiring (menu trimmed 5 → 4 options), and
+  again after the HC dynamic-paint rollout (menu trimmed 4 → 3,
+  with all remaining options now flagged as multi-session). The
+  `High-contrast accessibility mode` entry in the Visual-identity
+  follow-ups list is updated to reflect that no "un-tagged
+  because race-risk" surfaces remain.
+
+### Stats
+
+- **1207 passing tests / 0 failing** across the workspace
+  (net +12 from v0.21.2's 1195 baseline):
+  - 7 tests for `compute_expiry_warning_minutes` (`279e23d`)
+    covering each suppression rule + the inclusive boundary at
+    exactly 30 min remaining.
+  - 1 in-Bevy test (`check_system_fires_warning_event_only_once_per_day`)
+    pinning `DailyExpiryWarningShown`'s once-per-date
+    suppression and the symmetric "already-completed-today"
+    suppression.
+  - 4 truth-table tests for `radial_rim_outline` (`c153363`):
+    focused × HC. The "resting stays subtle under HC" test
+    explicitly documents *why* — it's the hierarchy-preservation
+    invariant a future refactor might be tempted to break.
+- Zero clippy warnings under `cargo clippy --workspace
+  --all-targets -- -D warnings`.
+- `cargo test --workspace` clean.
+
+## [0.21.2] — 2026-05-08
+
+Patch release for the post-v0.21.1 polish work. Three through-
+lines: **accessibility extensions** (reduce-motion gating for
+splash animations, full HC chrome rollout across 8 surfaces),
+**replay polish** (floating MOVE chip above the focused card
+during playback), and the **first real consumer of
+`ToastVariant::Error`** (invalid-move feedback as the third leg
+of the existing audio + visual rejection-feedback stool).
+
+The accessibility extensions close two threads v0.21.1 left
+explicitly open: reduce-motion was previously gated only on card
+slide_secs, and HC borders had `BORDER_SUBTLE_HC` defined but no
+consumers. v0.21.2 finishes both — non-essential motion in the
+splash boot screen now respects reduce-motion, and every static-
+border chrome surface (modal scaffold, tooltip, help / stats /
+home / settings panels) boosts to the HC variant under high-
+contrast mode. Dynamic-paint sites (HUD action buttons, modal
+buttons, radial menu rim) intentionally stay un-tagged because
+their existing paint cycles would race the HC system; they
+remain open for a future iteration that needs a different shape.
+
+### Added
+
+- **`sync_pile_marker_visibility` system precursor was v0.21.1's;
+  this cycle adds**: `update_high_contrast_borders` system in
+  `settings_plugin` (`c9af1ea`). Walks all entities tagged with
+  `HighContrastBorder` each Update tick, swaps `BorderColor` to
+  `BORDER_SUBTLE_HC` when high-contrast mode is on. Compares
+  current colour and only mutates when different so Bevy's
+  change-detection doesn't trigger repaints every frame. New
+  `HighContrastBorder { default_color: Color }` component carries
+  the off-state colour at each tagged site so the system can
+  revert correctly.
+- **HC chrome rollout — 8 tagged surfaces** (`c9af1ea` modal
+  scaffold; `d87761d` tooltip + onboarding key chips + help
+  panel key chips + stats panel cells; `ec804d5` home Level/XP/
+  Score row + home mode-selector buttons + home mode-hotkey
+  chips + 4 settings panel surfaces). Each tagging is one line
+  on the spawn tuple. The marker-component architecture pays
+  back proportionally to the number of consumers — the per-
+  commit cost dropped from ~75 lines (foundation + first
+  surface) to ~13 lines (4 surfaces) to ~9 lines (7 surfaces).
+- **Floating MOVE chip during replay** (`2fb2d63`). New
+  `ReplayFloatingProgressChip` marker on a `Text2d` entity
+  rendered in 2D world space above the destination pile of the
+  most-recently-applied move. Sibling of the banner overlay (not
+  a child) because it lives in world-space coordinates, not the
+  UI tree. Lifecycle matches the banner: `spawn_overlay` spawns
+  the chip alongside the banner when a replay starts;
+  `react_to_state_change` despawns it when the replay ends.
+  World-space placement (rather than UI-space + camera projection)
+  uses the same `LayoutResource` pile coordinates that drive
+  every other piece of pile geometry — stays correctly positioned
+  through window resizes for free. Hidden when cursor=0 (no
+  moves applied yet) or when the last applied move was a
+  `StockClick` (no destination pile to follow).
+- **`handle_move_rejected_toast` system + first real
+  `ToastVariant::Error` consumer** (`68d50b5`). When
+  `MoveRejectedEvent` fires (illegal placement attempt), spawns
+  a 2-second pink-bordered "Invalid move" toast. Joins the
+  existing `card_invalid.wav` (audio cue) and destination-pile
+  shake (visual cue) as the accessibility-focused readable text
+  channel — covers deaf players (no audio reliance) and
+  reduce-motion players (no shake reliance) with a persistent
+  ~2 s text cue. Drops the `#[allow(dead_code)]` from
+  `ToastVariant::Error` and updates its doc to point at the new
+  consumer.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Splash scanline overlay skipped under reduce-motion**
+  (`ed152e2`). `spawn_splash` reads `Settings::reduce_motion_mode`
+  and skips the scanline texture / overlay node entirely when
+  on. Without the scanlines the boot screen still reads as
+  terminal-themed (foreground content, borders, palette swatches
+  unchanged); the scanlines are decorative.
+- **Splash cursor pulse held under reduce-motion** (`ed152e2`).
+  `pulse_splash_cursor` reads `Settings::reduce_motion_mode` and
+  skips the per-frame sine-pulse multiplier when on — the cursor
+  still fades in / out with the global splash alpha (essential
+  timing) but doesn't blink. Spec calls out non-essential motion
+  as the reduce-motion target; the global fade is essential
+  (otherwise the splash would hard-cut on/off, which is
+  jarring), and the cursor blink is decorative.
+- **`AnimationPlugin::build` registers
+  `MoveRejectedEvent`** (`68d50b5`). Bevy's `add_message` is
+  idempotent, so the duplicate registration with
+  `feedback_anim_plugin` (which already registered the message)
+  coexists cleanly. Required for the new
+  `handle_move_rejected_toast` system to run under
+  MinimalPlugins (tests).
+
+### Documentation
+
+- `docs/ui-mockups/design-system.md` and `SESSION_HANDOFF.md`
+  refreshed in lockstep with the rollouts. The handoff's
+  Resume-prompt menu trimmed twice this cycle as Options A and F
+  closed in v0.21.1, then this commit cycle's accessibility
+  extensions implicitly closed the "future scope" footnotes
+  v0.21.1 left on F's documentation.
+
+### Stats
+
+- **1195 passing tests / 0 failing** across the workspace
+  (net +3 from v0.21.1's 1192 baseline). New tests added by
+  this cycle:
+  - `splash_skips_scanline_overlay_under_reduce_motion`
+    (`ed152e2`) pins the reduce-motion gate on the splash
+    scanline overlay. Discovered an asset-fixture bootstrapping
+    detail along the way: under `MinimalPlugins`,
+    `Assets<Image>` isn't auto-inserted; the test had to add
+    `bevy::asset::AssetPlugin::default()` and
+    `init_asset::<bevy::image::Image>()`. Pattern flagged for
+    future asset-using tests.
+  - `floating_chip_spawns_and_despawns_with_overlay`
+    (`2fb2d63`) pins the floating MOVE chip's lifecycle:
+    absent on Inactive, exactly one on Playing, absent again
+    on return to Inactive.
+  - `move_rejected_event_spawns_error_toast` (`68d50b5`) pins
+    the new toast wiring: firing a `MoveRejectedEvent` spawns
+    exactly one `ToastOverlay` on the next tick.
+- Zero clippy warnings under `cargo clippy --workspace
+  --all-targets -- -D warnings`.
+- `cargo test --workspace` clean.

+# Android Playability TODO
+
+**Started:** 2026-05-10 — first hardware screenshot of v0.22.3 APK
+running on a real device showed the desktop HUD projected onto a
+360 dp portrait viewport with no mobile adaptation. This list
+tracks the work needed to make the APK genuinely playable, not
+just "boots without crashing."
+
+**Context:** v0.22.3 (signed release APK) builds and launches.
+JNI bridges (clipboard, keystore) compile but are untested on
+hardware. The work below is UI/UX port work — no architectural
+rewrites required.
+
+---
+
+## Reading from the v0.22.3 screenshot
+
+| Region | Observation |
+|--------|-------------|
+| Top ~5 % | System bar (clock, signal, battery) overlapped by game HUD — no safe-area inset |
+| HUD text row | `Score:0 Pause Esc Help A Modes [] New_Game N Moves:0 0:08` all overlapping — desktop layout crammed into 360 dp |
+| Keyboard hints | `Esc`, `A`, `[]`, `N` shown next to buttons — meaningless on touch |
+| Foundations row | Leftmost foundation (♥) clipped left; rightmost tableau column (♠ 4) clipped right |
+| Card backs | Face-down cards render as solid red squares, not back-art texture |
+| Vertical use | Cards occupy top ~30 % only; bottom 70 % empty black — no portrait-aware layout |
+| Bottom edge | No accommodation for Android gesture / home-indicator area |
+
+---
+
+## P0 — Blocking playability
+
+- [x] **Safe-area insets (top + bottom).** *Closed 2026-05-10 by
+  `b9aa262`.* `SafeAreaInsets` resource + `SafeAreaInsetsPlugin`
+  query `WindowInsets.getInsets(systemBars())` via JNI on Android;
+  HUD anchors carry `SafeAreaAnchoredTop { base_top }` and the
+  change-detection fix-up system re-applies `base_top + insets.top`
+  whenever the resource updates. Bottom inset is captured but not
+  yet consumed (waits for bottom-anchored UI).
+- [x] **Mobile HUD layout.** *Closed 2026-05-10.* Both the left HUD
+  column and the right action button row are now capped at
+  `max_width: 50 %` and the button row + tier-row child Nodes carry
+  `flex_wrap: Wrap`. On a 360 dp viewport the 6-button row breaks
+  to multiple lines (right-justified) and the tier rows wrap
+  individually instead of overflowing into the action column. On
+  desktop (≥ 1280 px) the 50 % cap is wider than any natural row
+  width so the existing single-line layout is unchanged.
+- [x] **Card-back asset not rendering.** *Closed 2026-05-10 by
+  `fcc7337`.* `AssetPlugin::file_path = "../assets"` was set
+  unconditionally to fix the desktop `cargo run -p solitaire_app`
+  CWD relativity, but on Android cargo-apk packages the same
+  directory into the APK at `assets/` and Bevy's
+  AndroidAssetReader is already rooted there — prepending `../`
+  walked the reader out of the APK assets root and every load
+  failed silently. The face-down branch then fell through to the
+  `card_back_colour(0)` solid-red brick fallback. Gated the
+  override behind `#[cfg(not(target_os = "android"))]`.
+- [x] **Viewport overflow.** *Closed 2026-05-10.* `compute_layout`
+  was clamping the input window up to `MIN_WINDOW = 800 × 600`,
+  so a 360 dp phone got laid out as if it were 800-wide and the
+  outer piles fell outside the actual viewport. Lowered the floor
+  to 320 × 400 (below the smallest reasonable phone) so real
+  Android resolutions flow through without clamping, while keeping
+  a sentinel to guard against degenerate / startup-zero windows.
+  New regression test `phone_portrait_layout_fits_horizontally`
+  asserts all 13 piles fit a 360 × 800 viewport.
+
+## P1 — Touch UX
+
+- [x] **Suppress keyboard-hint labels on Android.** *Closed
+  2026-05-10.* `spawn_action_button` now nulls the `hotkey`
+  argument on Android via a `#[cfg(target_os = "android")]` rebind,
+  so the U / Esc / F1 / N chips next to the action row labels
+  disappear on touch builds. Other hint sites (onboarding panel,
+  pause-modal `Esc` hint, mode-card hotkey chips on the home
+  screen, replay overlay footer, modal toggle hints in
+  profile/stats/leaderboard/settings, help screen) survive — they
+  live behind navigation and a touch user reaches them less often.
+  Track as a P3 sweep when more screens are audited on hardware.
+- [x] **Thumb-sized hit targets.** *Closed 2026-05-10.* Action
+  button Node carries `min_width: Val::Px(48.0), min_height:
+  Val::Px(48.0)` — meets Material's 48 dp baseline on touch and is
+  a no-op for buttons whose content already exceeds 48 px in
+  either axis. Applied universally rather than cfg-gated since
+  Material's guideline applies to all input modes. Cards, pile
+  markers, modal close buttons not yet audited — track as P3 if
+  they fall below threshold on hardware.
+- [ ] **Portrait-first card spacing.** Stretch tableau piles vertically
+  to fill height; reduce inter-pile gaps so 7 columns fit in 360 dp.
+- [ ] **Double-tap auto-move visible feedback.** `handle_double_tap`
+  exists since `395a322` — verify it triggers on hardware and add a
+  brief source-card flash / highlight to confirm to the user.
+
+## P2 — Polish
+
+- [ ] **Drag responsiveness on touch.** Bevy default touch-to-mouse
+  mapping can lag; confirm drag start threshold isn't too high for a
+  finger.
+- [ ] **Long-press menu.** Alternative to right-click (which doesn't
+  exist on touch). Wire to the existing right-click-highlight system.
+- [ ] **HUD typography.** Reduce text sizes for `Score:`, `Moves:`,
+  timer so they fit cleanly in one row.
+- [ ] **Orientation lock.** Set `android:screenOrientation="portrait"`
+  in cargo-apk manifest (or design a landscape layout).
+
+## P3 — Asset density
+
+- [ ] **Density-aware card scaling.** Currently single texture size; on
+  a high-DPI phone the cards look small. Scale by
+  `Window::scale_factor()` or ship multiple PNG sizes.
+- [ ] **App-icon density buckets.** Nine sizes already exist in
+  `assets/icon/`; verify the manifest references them so Android's
+  launcher picks the right one.
+
+## P4 — Stability / runtime
+
+- [ ] **B0004 ECS hierarchy warnings.** Flagged in
+  `SESSION_HANDOFF.md` after APK launch verification — investigate
+  whether they cause gameplay bugs on hardware vs. AVD.
+- [ ] **AVD functional tests for JNI bridges.** Clipboard (`2c822ba`)
+  and Keystore (`f281425`) shipped but never tested on real device
+  or AVD.
+
+---
+
+## Notes / decisions
+
+* This list is screenshot-driven; expect more items to surface once
+  P0 unblocks actually moving cards on hardware.
+* The pattern across all the bugs is "no one ran the relevant code
+  path on Android yet." The hard work — Bevy 0.18 on Android,
+  JNI bridges, signed CI builds — is done. What's left is a
+  coordinated pass of `#[cfg(target_os = "android")]` gates plus
+  making `LayoutResource` query the real surface size.
+* Where possible, prefer responsive layout (query window size) over
+  branching `#[cfg]` blocks. Branches are fine for input methods
+  (touch vs. mouse) but not for screen geometry — a foldable or
+  desktop window of equivalent size should look the same.
