chore(deploy): bump image to 72dfd741 [skip ci]

Only game.html had the snippet; the other five pages were missing it,
causing the Matomo installation verification check to fail.

+### `solitaire_wasm`
+**Dependencies:** `solitaire_core`, `serde`, `serde_json`, `chrono`, `wasm-bindgen`, `serde-wasm-bindgen`.
+
+WebAssembly bindings for browser-side replay playback. Compiled to `cdylib` via `wasm-pack build`; the output lives in `solitaire_server/web/pkg/` and is served statically by the server.
+
+Intentionally **does not** depend on `solitaire_data` (which pulls in `dirs`, `keyring`, `reqwest`, and other non-WASM crates). Instead it defines a minimal `Replay` mirror with the same serde shape as `solitaire_data::Replay` — the JSON wire format is the compatibility contract.
+
+Owns:
+- `ReplayPlayer` — WASM-exported state machine; steps through a replay's `Vec<ReplayMove>` against a live `GameState`
+- `StateSnapshot` — JS-facing pile snapshot returned by each `step()` call
+- `ReplayMove` / `Replay` mirrors — same serde shape as `solitaire_data` v2 equivalents
+
+Because `ReplayPlayer` uses the same `solitaire_core::GameState` as the desktop client, the two implementations cannot drift: the same seed + move list produces identical pile state at every step on both platforms.

-the next cycle here.
+### Fixed
+
+- **BUG-3: Multi-modal stacking** (`hud_plugin.rs`). `handle_menu_button`
+  now checks `scrims.is_empty()` — a `Query<(), With<ModalScrim>>` guard —
+  before calling `spawn_menu_popover`. Tapping ≡ while any modal (Stats,
+  Settings, Profile, Help) is open is now a no-op. Previously Stats + Profile
+  could be open simultaneously.
+- **UX-7: Help text single-line overflow** (`help_plugin.rs`). The HUD menu
+  button description "Menu: Stats, Settings, Profile, Achievements" wrapped to
+  two lines on Android. Shortened to "Open menu (Stats, Settings, Profile...)"
+  which fits on one line. Verified on device.
+- **UX-5b: Home mode glyph corruption** (`home_plugin.rs`). Mode selector icons
+  were using Geometric Shapes block (U+25xx) absent from the bundled FiraMono
+  font — rendered as missing-glyph rectangles on Android. Replaced with card
+  suits (U+2660–2666) which FiraMono covers: ♦ Daily, ♥ Zen, ♠ Challenge.
+- **UX-1: Modal Done button in gesture zone** (`safe_area.rs`). New
+  `apply_safe_area_to_modal_scrims` Bevy system pads every `ModalScrim` bottom
+  by `SafeAreaInsets.bottom / scale_factor`. Modal cards are now centred over
+  the safe area, not the full physical screen. The Settings / Help / Stats Done
+  buttons are reachable on gesture-nav Android devices. Verified on device.
+
+---
+
+## [0.23.0] — 2026-05-12
+
+Phase 8 sync UI: the self-hosted-server connection flow is now fully
+playable end-to-end. Players can open a Connect modal from Settings,
+enter a server URL + credentials, log in or register, and see the
+sync-status section update live. Token expiry auto-reopens the modal.
+Account deletion ships a two-click destroy flow. Server deployment
+artifacts (Dockerfile + docker-compose) let self-hosters spin up in one
+command.
+
+### Added
+
+- **Sync setup modal — Connect / Disconnect flow** (`432061c`).
+  New `SyncSetupPlugin` (`solitaire_engine/src/sync_setup_plugin.rs`)
+  provides the full server-connection UI. Three tab-stopped text fields
+  (URL, Username, Password) handle keyboard input via `MessageReader<KeyboardInput>`
+  with focus cycling on Tab. "Log In" and "Register" buttons each spawn an
+  async `AsyncComputeTaskPool` task that calls the new
+  `SolitaireServerClient::login()` / `::register()` methods; `poll_auth_task`
+  harvests the result, stores tokens via `store_tokens()`, hot-swaps
+  `SyncProviderResource` to the new server backend, fires
+  `ManualSyncRequestEvent` to pull immediately, and closes the modal.
+  An inline `SyncAuthError` label displays credential errors without a
+  toast. The modal is idempotent (`existing.is_empty()` guard) — safe
+  to open programmatically.
+- **`SyncConfigureRequestEvent`, `SyncLogoutRequestEvent`,
+  `DeleteAccountRequestEvent`** (`432061c`). Three new engine events
+  wire the Settings buttons → plugin handlers. `SyncConfigureRequestEvent`
+  opens the setup modal; `SyncLogoutRequestEvent` disconnects and resets
+  `SyncProviderResource` to `LocalOnlyProvider`; `DeleteAccountRequestEvent`
+  opens the deletion confirmation modal.
+- **Settings sync section — dynamic backend UI** (`432061c`).
+  `sync_row()` in `SettingsPlugin` now takes `backend: &SyncBackend` and
+  renders conditionally: `Local` → "Connect" button; `SolitaireServer` →
+  username label + "Sync Now" + "Disconnect" + "Delete Account". Three new
+  `SettingsButton` discriminants (`ConnectSync` tab 91, `DisconnectSync`
+  tab 92, `DeleteAccount` tab 93) feed into a new `handle_sync_buttons`
+  system extracted from `handle_settings_buttons` to stay within Bevy's
+  16-parameter system limit.
+- **`SolitaireServerClient::login()` and `::register()`** (`432061c`).
+  Both POST to `/api/auth/login` and `/api/auth/register` respectively.
+  Private helper `extract_auth_tokens` parses `{ access_token, refresh_token }`.
+  409 CONFLICT → "username already taken"; 401/403 → "invalid credentials";
+  400 → server message echoed to the player.
+- **Re-auth prompt on token expiry** (`6ce5564`).
+  `poll_pull_result` in `SyncPlugin` now fires `InfoToastEvent("Session
+  expired — please reconnect")` + `SyncConfigureRequestEvent` when the
+  pull task resolves to `SyncError::Auth(_)`. Because the modal is
+  idempotent the re-open is safe to trigger from any system path.
+- **Server deployment artifacts** (`6ce5564`).
+  `solitaire_server/Dockerfile`: multi-stage build (`rust:1.95-slim` →
+  `debian:bookworm-slim`); copies `.sqlx` offline cache so `SQLX_OFFLINE=true`
+  succeeds without a live database at build time; exposes port 8080.
+  `solitaire_server/docker-compose.yml`: single-service compose file;
+  `db-data` volume at `/app/data`; `DATABASE_URL` and `JWT_SECRET` from
+  environment; HTTP health-check via `wget`. `solitaire_server/.env.example`:
+  documents all required variables with generation hint (`openssl rand -hex 32`).
+- **Account deletion flow** (`272d31f`).
+  "Delete Account" in Settings fires `DeleteAccountRequestEvent` →
+  `SyncSetupPlugin::open_delete_confirm_modal` spawns a danger-red
+  confirmation modal with "Cancel" and "Delete Forever" buttons.
+  "Delete Forever" submits an async `PendingDeleteTask` that calls
+  `SyncProvider::delete_account()`; `poll_delete_task` on Ok fires
+  `SyncLogoutRequestEvent` + a success toast; on Err shows an error toast
+  and leaves the modal open. Two-click destroy pattern — no accidental
+  account deletion possible.
+
+### Removed
+

+  consumed; removed as dead code.

+
+## [0.22.0] — 2026-05-08
+
+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
+confirmed end-to-end device run.

+## [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.
+

+- Clippy: clean

+
+## [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.

-## 14.1 Purpose
+All full-screen overlay panels MUST use the `spawn_modal` / `ModalScrim` pattern
+from `solitaire_engine::ui_modal`.
+
+## 14.1 Spawn pattern
+
+```rust
+let scrim = spawn_modal(commands, MyScreenMarker, Z_MODAL_PANEL, |card| {
+    spawn_modal_header(card, "Title", font_res);
+    // ... body nodes ...
+    spawn_modal_actions(card, |actions| {
+        spawn_modal_button(actions, MyCloseButton, "Done", None,
+                           ButtonVariant::Primary, font_res);
+    });
+});
+// Optional: allow clicking the scrim outside the card to dismiss
+commands.entity(scrim).insert(ScrimDismissible);
+```
+
+## 14.2 Guard rule
+
+Before spawning a new modal, check `scrims: Query<(), With<ModalScrim>>`
+and return early if `!scrims.is_empty()` — unless the new modal is
+explicitly replacing the current one (despawn first, then spawn).
+
+## 14.3 Safe area
+
+Every `ModalScrim` automatically receives `padding.bottom` equal to the
+logical gesture-bar height via `apply_safe_area_to_modal_scrims` in
+`SafeAreaInsetsPlugin`. Do not manually add bottom padding to scrim nodes.
+
+## 14.4 Z-ordering
+
+Use `Z_MODAL_PANEL` from `ui_theme` for all modal scrims. Do not use
+raw `z_index` values — they drift and cause ordering bugs.

+built-in password reset command. Run it on the host (or inside the container)
+with `DATABASE_URL` pointing at your database:
+
+```bash
+# Interactive (prompts for the new password):
+DATABASE_URL=sqlite://./data/solitaire.db \
+  ./solitaire_server --reset-password <username>
+
+# Non-interactive (piped from a script or password manager):

+
+# Inside a running Docker container:
+docker compose exec server sh -c \
+  'echo "new_password" | ./solitaire_server --reset-password alice'
+```
+
+On success the user's `password_hash` is updated and **all active refresh
+tokens are deleted**, so every open session must log in again with the new
+password. `JWT_SECRET` does not need to be set for this command.

-  (`update_high_contrast_backgrounds`) that mirrors the

-Open next-step menu (B-2 keyboard accelerator coverage +
-accessibility + scrub UX are all complete):
-1. **Move-log scroller / mini-tableau preview** — both need
-   a much larger banner-height grow (effectively the takeover
-   container itself). Multi-session arcs that close B-2.
-   Mockup at `docs/ui-mockups/replay-overlay-mobile.html`.
-2. **Polish: notch label centering.** Bevy 0.18 lacks a clean
-   `translate-x: -50%` primitive so middle three labels sit
-   slightly right-of-notch. Could use a child Text wrapper
-   with computed left-margin compensation. Tiny commit.
-3. **Polish: WIN MOVE marker HC bump.** Currently the marker
-   uses `STATE_SUCCESS` lime which stays visible under HC,
-   but a slight saturation / contrast bump under HC would
-   make the marker even more legible alongside the bumped
-   notches. Optional.
+Also shipped (pre-Phase 8 but post-v0.22.0, already in CHANGELOG):
+- `solitaire_wasm` crate: WASM ReplayPlayer bindings for browser-side replay playback
+- Server replay API: `POST /api/replays`, `GET /api/replays/recent`, `GET /api/replays/:id`
+- Server web UI: `/replays/:id` HTML route + `ServeDir /web` static assets
+- DB migration 002: `replays` table + two indexes
+- Full server integration tests for replay endpoints
+- `push_replay` in `sync_plugin` (uploads on win, writes share URL into replay history)
+- Stats panel "Copy Share Link" button reads `share_url` from replay history
 
-Recommended order: option 2 (notch label centering) is the
-smallest concrete next-step. Option 1 is the multi-session
-arc that closes B-2 — natural place to start a fresh session.

+## Open punch list (ordered by priority)
 
-### Phase Android (build + persistence shipped; runtime gaps remain)

+- [x] CHANGELOG [Unreleased] → v0.23.0 — done this session
+- [x] ARCHITECTURE.md update — all 8 gaps closed, bumped to v1.3
+- [x] SESSION_HANDOFF.md update — this file
 
-- **APK launch verification on AVD / device.** `adb install` then
-  `adb logcat` against the `bevy_test` AVD or an x86_64 device.
-  The build works and persistence is wired, but no end-to-end
-  device run has been logged. Shakes out runtime bugs the build +
-  unit tests can't catch.
-- **JNI ClipboardManager bridge.** Replaces the Android stub for
-  the Stats "Copy share link" toast. `arboard` doesn't ship an
-  Android backend; small custom JNI call.
-- **Android Keystore for credentials.** `keyring` is target-gated
-  to a stub returning `KeychainUnavailable`; replace with Android
-  Keystore via JNI when sync auth ships on mobile.
-- **Google Play Games (gpgs) integration.** Listed as a
-  Phase-Android target since Phase 1; now unblocked by the build
-  target.
-- **Cosmetic `cargo apk build --lib` workaround.** Post-sign
-  panic doesn't affect the APK on disk but produces noisy stderr.
-  Either upstream a cargo-apk fix or document `--lib` as
-  canonical in the runbook.
+### 2. Leaderboard wiring gaps
+- [x] **Best-score auto-post.** Done (`303c78a`): `update_leaderboard_if_opted_in`
+  called from both first-push and merge paths in `sync.rs`; uses SQLite `MIN`/`MAX`
+  in the UPDATE so scores never regress on stale data.
+- [x] **Display name = username.** Done (`03be4fc`): `leaderboard_display_name:
+  Option<String>` added to `Settings`; editor modal in leaderboard panel; persists
+  to `settings.json`; `handle_opt_in_button` prefers custom name over username.
 
-### Visual-identity follow-ups (post-v0.21.0)
+### 3. Security hardening
+- [x] **Refresh token rotation.** Done (`b129664`): `refresh_tokens` table
+  (migration 003); jti embedded in JWT; rotate-on-use pattern; 3 integration
+  tests.
+- [x] **Sync endpoint rate limiting.** Done (`6e6f3ef`): `UserIdKeyExtractor`
+  decodes JWT for per-user identity; falls back to IP; burst 10 / 6 min
+  steady-state; integration test passes.
 
-The visual-identity arc is effectively complete: token system,
-chrome migration, splash boot screen, replay-overlay banner,
-card-face artwork (both rendering paths), and the `ACCENT_PRIMARY`
-palette refresh all shipped in v0.20.0 + v0.21.0. What stays open:
+### 4. Android validation
+- [x] **Android Keystore functional test.** Done (2026-05-11, Pixel 7 AVD,
+  Android 14): `load_access_token()` exercised via `start_pull`; logcat confirmed
+  `NotFound` returned cleanly — no JNI panic. See `docs/android/PLAYABILITY_TODO.md` P4.
+- [x] **JNI clipboard functional test.** Done (2026-05-11): temporary `KEYCODE_C`
+  hook confirmed `ClipboardManager.setPrimaryClip()` succeeds on Android 14.
+  Hook reverted. Production path requires Interaction::Pressed + non-null `share_url`.
+  Note: `adb shell input tap` doesn't deliver touch events on headless AVD (documented).
+- [x] **`cargo apk build --lib` noisy stderr** — upstream cargo-apk bug; `--lib`
+  is the canonical command (CLAUDE.md §15.1, docs/ANDROID.md). No in-repo fix possible.
 
-- **Replay-overlay screen-takeover redesign.** The full mockup
-  (`docs/ui-mockups/replay-overlay-mobile.html`) calls for a
-  mini-tableau preview, playback controls, move-log scroll, and
-  a WIN MOVE marker on the scrub bar. Banner-local pieces all
-  shipped in v0.21.0 (`c84d9f4` + `6204db8` + `54005d5` +
-  `e080b49`); the floating MOVE chip above the focused card
-  shipped in v0.21.2 (`2fb2d63`). The WIN MOVE scrub-bar marker
-  shipped post-v0.21.3 in `ab857bb` (data field) + `52befa6`
-  (UI). Playback controls (pause / resume / step + Space
-  accelerator) shipped post-v0.21.3 in `fbe48ac`. v0.21.5
-  bundled six more commits under "replay-overlay scrubbing
-  affordances + accessibility" — scrub notches + percentage
-  labels + keybind-hint footer + ESC and ← / → accelerators
-  + HC marker for the footer top border. Banner height grew
-  60 → 76 → 92 px across two layout-changing commits in
-  v0.21.5; banner geometry is now mutable. Full per-commit
-  detail in `CHANGELOG.md` § [0.21.5]. Keyboard accelerator
-  coverage is complete. What still needs to land: HC-mode
-  coverage for the scrub-track / notches / WIN MOVE marker
-  (they render via `BackgroundColor` so the
-  `HighContrastBorder` marker doesn't apply — needs a
-  settings-aware paint), continuous scrub on key-held ← / →
-  (vs single-step), then the bigger pieces — a move-log
-  scroller and a mini-tableau preview — both screen-
-  takeover-only pieces that need a much larger banner height
-  grow (effectively the takeover container itself).
-  Multi-session.

-  the generic `WarningToastEvent(String)` carrier or add their
-  own domain message + `animation_plugin` handler.
-- *Toast Error variant wiring — closed 2026-05-08 by `68d50b5`.*
-  `MoveRejectedEvent` now fires a 2-second pink-bordered
-  "Invalid move" toast as the third leg of the
-  audio + visual + text rejection-feedback stool.
-- *High-contrast accessibility mode — closed 2026-05-08 by
-  `c5787c6` + `07e0357` (engine + UI) + v0.21.2's HC chrome
-  rollout (`c9af1ea` + `d87761d` + `ec804d5`) + post-cut
-  dynamic-paint rollout (`c153363`).* Card text rendering plus
-  8 static-border chrome surfaces (modal scaffold, tooltip,
-  onboarding key chips, help panel key chips, stats panel
-  cells, home Level/XP/Score row, home mode buttons, home
-  mode-hotkey chips, 4 settings panel surfaces) all boost
-  borders to `BORDER_SUBTLE_HC` under HC via the
-  `HighContrastBorder` marker. The previously-carved-out
-  dynamic-paint sites are now also covered: HUD action buttons
-  and modal buttons take the same marker (their paint cycles
-  only mutate `BackgroundColor`, so no race); the radial menu
-  rim folds HC into its per-frame spawn via
-  `radial_rim_outline` so the focused rim boosts to
-  `BORDER_SUBTLE_HC` under HC (preserving focused-vs-resting
-  hierarchy that naive marker substitution would invert).
-- *Reduced-motion mode — closed 2026-05-08 by `c5787c6` +
-  v0.21.2's `ed152e2`.* `effective_slide_secs` forces 0 on
-  card animations; `pulse_splash_cursor` skips the per-frame
-  pulse multiplier; `spawn_splash` skips the scanline overlay
-  entirely. Future scope: gate any future card-lift z-bump
-  animation, warning-chip pulse (when one materialises).
+### 5. Feature completeness
+- [x] **Theme importer UI.** Done (`613bbf8`): "Scan for new themes" button in
+  Settings Appearance section. Shows import path label, scans user_theme_dir()
+  for .zip archives, fires InfoToastEvent per file, refreshes ThemeRegistry.
+- [x] **`mirror_achievement` removed.** Done (`549a817`): method was a no-op
+  default never overridden and never called; achievements already sync via
+  `SyncPayload` push. Deleted from trait and blanket impl.
+- [x] **WASM build script.** Done (`40d0712`): `build_wasm.sh` at repo root
+  documents `wasm-pack build --target web`, cleans up pkg metadata files,
+  includes dependency guard + install instructions.
+- [x] **Server password reset.** Done (`7514684`): `--reset-password <username>`
+  subcommand reads new password from stdin, bcrypt-hashes it, invalidates all
+  active sessions for the user.
 
-### Carried forward from v0.19.0
+### 5b. Android UX polish (2026-05-12)
 
-- *App icon round — closed 2026-05-08 by `3eb3a26` + `716a025`.*
-  Runtime `Window::icon` wired (Linux/macOS/Windows); 9-size
-  PNG hierarchy at `assets/icon/icon_<size>.png` covers Linux
-  hicolor + downstream `.icns`/`.ico` packaging needs. The
-  `.ico` and `.icns` bundle-format files themselves are *not*
-  generated — both would need new crate deps (`ico` and
-  `icns` respectively) and only matter at app-bundle time
-  (cargo-bundle / packaging), not at `cargo run`. Open if the
-  project later ships as a packaged macOS / Windows app.
+- [x] **UX-1 — Modal Done button in gesture zone.** `apply_safe_area_to_modal_scrims` system
+  added to `SafeAreaInsetsPlugin` (`safe_area.rs`). Pads every `ModalScrim` bottom by
+  `insets.bottom / scale`. Fires on resource change + `Added<ModalScrim>`. Verified on device.
+- [x] **UX-5b — Home mode glyph corruption.** Geometric Shapes (U+25xx, absent from FiraMono)
+  replaced with card suits U+2660–2666 in `home_plugin.rs`. Affects Zen/Challenge/Daily mode
+  selector buttons at level 5+.
+- [x] **UX-7 — Help text wrap.** Android HUD entry shortened to
+  `"Open menu (Stats, Settings, Profile...)"` in `help_plugin.rs` — fits one line.
+- [x] **BUG-3 — Multi-modal stacking.** `handle_menu_button` now checks
+  `scrims: Query<(), With<ModalScrim>>` and guards `spawn_menu_popover` with `scrims.is_empty()`.
+  Verified on device: ≡ tap while Stats open does nothing.
 
-### Other small candidates
+  **Note:** These 4 fixes are implemented and verified but not yet committed.
 
-- **Prev/Next selector chips spawn site.** v0.19.0's `9b065e5`
-  noted Prev/Next markers exist in `stats_plugin` but no spawn
-  site renders them today — the Shareable badge therefore lands
-  on the single-replay caption. If/when Prev/Next is plumbed,
-  the badge will need to follow.
-- **Toast queue / immediate unification.** The two toast paths
-  (`spawn_queued_toast` for `InfoToastEvent` queue; `spawn_toast`
-  for fire-and-forget) now share visual treatment but remain
-  separate functions because they serve different temporal
-  needs (sequential vs. parallel). If overlap becomes a UX
-  issue, merge into one queue with priority lanes.
+### 6. Testing gaps
+- [x] **Server 401 → refresh → retry path.** Done (`198df75`): both
+  `jwt_refresh_on_401_succeeds` (pull) and
+  `push_retries_after_401_on_expired_access_token` (push) in
+  `solitaire_data/tests/sync_round_trip.rs`.
+- [x] **WASM winning-replay step-through.** Done (`b4ada2a`): greedy solver
+  searches seeds 1–200 at test time; steps every move through `ReplayPlayer`;
+  asserts `is_won = true` on the final `StateSnapshot`.
 
-### Process notes
+---
 
-- **The desktop-adaptation spec is the canonical reference for
-  geometry decisions** when porting any future plugin. Read
-  `docs/ui-mockups/desktop-adaptation.md` first; apply the
-  universal rules to every surface; consult the per-screen
-  table for the priority surfaces. The 9 missing-plugin screens
-  (splash now ported; eight remaining) inherit the universal
-  rules without dedicated guidance.
-- **Stitch `generate_variants` is unreliable for layout-only
-  adaptation prompts** as of 2026-05-07. The first call timed
-  out and no variant ever landed in `list_screens`. If a future
-  session wants visual desktop mockups, prefer
-  `generate_screen_from_text` with a fresh narrow prompt per
-  screen rather than `generate_variants` against existing
-  mobile screens.
-- **Token-port pattern.** v0.20.0's chrome-migration commits
-  set a reusable shape for "centralised design system applied
-  across N plugins":
-  1. Constants module (`ui_theme.rs`) is the source of truth.
-  2. Const sites that can't call `Alpha::with_alpha` (not yet
-     `const` on stable) use a literal RGB matching the token,
-     with a unit test pinning the RGB to the token (e.g.
-     `MARKER_VALID`, `HINT_PILE_HIGHLIGHT_COLOUR`,
-     `RIGHT_CLICK_HIGHLIGHT_COLOUR`).
-  3. Cross-plugin duplication (e.g. `MARKER_DEFAULT` ↔
-     `PILE_MARKER_DEFAULT_COLOUR`) collapses to a single
-     promoted const re-exported from one plugin and imported
-     by the other — replaces "kept in sync" doc comments with a
-     compile-time invariant.
-  4. Domain colours (suit pips, card faces, lerp helpers) stay
-     as literals with a comment naming the rationale; only UI
-     chrome routes through tokens.
-- **`SplashFadable` scaffolding pattern** (introduced in
-  `cacb19c`). Any future overlay that needs to fade `N >> 3`
-  elements together should follow the same shape: one tiny
-  marker carrying the full-alpha base colour, one global query
-  that lerps every marker's alpha each frame, no per-element
-  query plumbing. Cleanly outscales the `Without<X>, Without<Y>`
-  query exclusion pattern that the old splash was hitting at
-  three siblings.

+7. DB migration 002 (§7)
+8. Update "Last Updated" date

+---
 
-### Design direction (Terminal — base16-eighties)
+## Process notes
 
-- **Tone:** retro-terminal / synthwave — flat depth (no box-shadows),
-  monospaced-forward typography (JetBrains Mono / FiraMono), tight
-  16 px edge margins, 8 px card radius.
-- **Palette:** near-black surface ramp (`#151515` / `#202020` /
-  `#2a2a2a` / `#353535`), brick-red primary CTA (`#a54242` —
-  swapped from cyan `#6fc2ef` in v0.21.0 commit `a292a7e`), lime
-  success (`#acc267`), gold warning (`#ddb26f`), pink error /
-  suit-red (`#fb9fb1`), lavender celebration (`#e1a3ee`), teal
-  info (`#12cfc0`).
-- **Two-color suits.** Red = `#fb9fb1`, black = `#d0d0d0`.
-  Outlined glyphs for diamonds & clubs are *always on*; the
-  Settings "color-blind mode" toggle swaps red → lime `#acc267`
-  (was red → cyan pre-v0.21.0; lime is the next-best non-red
-  base16-eighties accent now that the primary itself is red).
-- **Card glyphs render upright in both corners** — no 180°
-  inverted-corner-indicator rotation. Single-orientation
-  digital play doesn't benefit from the traditional flip-
-  readback convention. `design-system.md` § Game Cards
-  documents this deliberate deviation.
+- **Commit attribution:** use `funman300` as git user. Co-author line:
+  `Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>`.
+- **Commit format:** `type(scope): description` per CLAUDE.md §7.
+- **Never commit without:** `cargo test --workspace` passing + clippy clean.
+- **Sub-agents** stage/verify only; orchestrator commits.
+- **`CARD_PLAN.md`** referenced in `theme/` module comments but not present in
+  repo. Clean up references or commit the file.
+- **Token-port pattern** (v0.20.0): when migrating tokens, walk every concrete
+  artifact downstream — PNGs, SVGs, literals, comments. Three "walked past this"
+  follow-ups in v0.21.0 all had this shape.

-DECISION TO ASK THE PLAYER FIRST:
-  A. APK launch verification on AVD / device — `adb install` +
-     `adb logcat` to shake out runtime bugs the build / unit
-     tests can't catch. Likely surfaces JNI ClipboardManager
-     and Android Keystore stubs that need real bridges. Larger
-     scope; needs an Android device or emulator running.
-  B. Replay-overlay screen-takeover redesign — multi-session
-     work. v0.21.4 shipped WIN MOVE marker, pause / resume /
-     step + Space accelerator, plus the floating-MOVE-chip
-     piece from v0.21.2 (`2fb2d63`). v0.21.5 shipped scrub
-     notches + percentage labels + keybind-hint footer + ESC
-     and ← / → accelerators + HC marker for the footer top
-     border (six commits across CHANGELOG § [0.21.5]). Banner
-     height grew 60 → 76 → 92 px across two layout-changing
-     commits in v0.21.5; geometry is now mutable. Keyboard
-     accelerator coverage is complete. Natural next finite
-     steps:
-     1. **HC-mode coverage** for the scrub-track / notches /
-        WIN MOVE marker (render via `BackgroundColor` not
-        `BorderColor`, so `HighContrastBorder` doesn't apply
-        — needs a settings-aware paint, precedent
-        `radial_rim_outline`). Smallest next commit.
-     2. **Continuous scrub on key-held ← / →** instead of
-        single-step. Needs a key-held event source. Matches
-        the mockup's `[← →] scrub` terminology.
-     3. **Move-log scroller / mini-tableau preview** — both
-        need a much larger banner-height grow (effectively
-        the takeover container itself). Multi-session arcs
-        that close B-2.
-     Mockup at `docs/ui-mockups/replay-overlay-mobile.html`.
-  C. Phase 8 (sync) — local storage scaffolding, self-hosted
-     Axum server, `SolitaireServerClient` impl, GPGS stub
-     wired into Settings. The biggest open arc by scope; rolls
-     up several Phase Android dependencies (Keystore,
-     ClipboardManager).
+OPEN WORK:
+  Phase 8 punch list is fully closed. All items verified complete.
+  Remaining nuisance: `cargo apk build --lib` noisy stderr (cosmetic, non-blocking).
 
-WORKFLOW NOTES:
-  - Use the system git config (already correct).
-  - When attributing playtester feedback in commits/docs, use
-    "Quat" not "Rhys" (saved feedback memory).
-  - Sub-agents stage + verify only; orchestrator commits.
-  - Every commit must pass build / clippy / test before pushing.
-  - Push to GitHub (origin) — gh auth setup-git wired on
-    primary dev box; verify on laptop before first push.
-  - Token-port pattern: when migrating tokens, walk every
-    concrete artifact downstream of the token (PNG textures,
-    embedded SVGs, hardcoded literals, comment color names),
-    not just the token name. v0.21.0 surfaced three "the
-    migration walked past this" follow-ups that all matched
-    this shape — codified here so future similar work can
-    pattern-match instead of rediscovering.
-  - Doc-vs-implementation drift pattern: v0.21.1's pile-marker
-    visibility fix (`4d48cad`) implemented an invariant that
-    had been declared in a module doc comment but was never
-    enforced in code. When future work touches a module with
-    a "this does X" doc comment, verify the code actually does
-    X and add a test if not. Two layers, two checks.
+  4 Android UX fixes are implemented and verified but NOT YET COMMITTED:
+    - BUG-3 (hud_plugin.rs): multi-modal stacking guard
+    - UX-7 (help_plugin.rs): help text wrap on Android
+    - UX-5b (home_plugin.rs): FiraMono glyph corruption in mode selector
+    - UX-1 (safe_area.rs): modal Done button in gesture zone
 
-OPEN AT THE START: ask which of A–C. Don't pick unilaterally.
-Note: every remaining option is multi-session by nature (A is
-gated on Android tooling, B and C are explicitly multi-session
-arcs). A fresh session is a better fit for any of them than the
-tail of a long working stretch.
+  Commit those first, then suggest Phase 9 planning.

+# 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. Remaining hint sites swept in P3 —
+  see full-keyboard-hint-sweep entry below.
+- [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.
+- [x] **Portrait-first card spacing.** *Closed 2026-05-11.*
+  `compute_layout` now derives an adaptive `tableau_fan_frac` from the
+  available vertical space below the tableau row. On height-limited
+  (desktop) windows the formula returns ≈ 0.25 and the clamp keeps the
+  existing behaviour. On width-limited (portrait phone) windows — where
+  card size is constrained by the 9-column horizontal packing — the fan
+  fraction expands to fill the viewport (≈ 0.84 at 360 × 800 dp).
+  `tableau_facedown_fan_frac` scales proportionally. Both values live in
+  the `Layout` struct; `card_plugin::card_positions` and
+  `input_plugin::card_position` / `pile_drop_rect` read from the struct
+  so rendering and hit-testing stay in sync across viewport sizes.
+- [x] **Double-tap auto-move visible feedback.** *Closed 2026-05-11.*
+  On a recognised double-tap (priority 1 single-card or priority 2
+  stack move), the moved card(s) receive a 0.35 s lime flash
+  (`STATE_SUCCESS` tint + `HintHighlight { remaining: 0.35 }`) before
+  the move request is written. The flash persists through the card
+  animation and is cleaned up by the existing `tick_hint_highlight`
+  system. Hardware trigger-verification remains a manual step — connect
+  AVD or device and confirm two rapid `TouchPhase::Ended` events within
+  0.5 s produce the lime flash.
+
+## P2 — Polish
+
+- [x] **Drag responsiveness on touch.** *Closed 2026-05-11.*
+  Two code-side improvements shipped; final feel confirmation still needs
+  hardware:
+  1. `start_drag` (mouse path) now bails out when a touch is just-pressed
+     (`Touches::iter_just_pressed()`), ensuring `touch_start_drag` always
+     owns the drag state on touch-screen devices — including Bevy/Winit
+     versions that simulate `MouseButton::Left` from the primary touch.
+  2. Mobile drag commit threshold lowered 10 px → 8 px, matching Android's
+     `ViewConfiguration.getScaledTouchSlop()` spec. Smaller threshold →
+     smaller snap-on-commit and faster perceived response.
+  **Remaining:** connect AVD or device and verify drag feels responsive
+  with no stutter; tune threshold further if needed.
+- [x] **Long-press menu.** *Closed 2026-05-11.* New system
+  `radial_open_on_long_press` in `radial_menu.rs` counts up while a
+  touch is held (`drag.active_touch_id.is_some() && !drag.committed`)
+  and opens `RightClickRadialState::Active` after 0.5 s — the same
+  state the right-click path uses. Existing radial infrastructure
+  then handles everything:
+  - `radial_track_cursor` extended to fall back to the first active
+    touch when no cursor position is available, so sliding the held
+    finger moves the hover ring.
+  - `radial_handle_release_or_cancel` extended to confirm/cancel on
+    `Touches::iter_just_released()` in addition to right-mouse release.
+  - `handle_double_tap` skips when the radial is active (guards a
+    narrow edge case where the finger lifts at exactly the same frame
+    the 0.5 s threshold fires).
+  Hardware verification needed: confirm the 0.5 s hold feel, verify
+  sliding to a destination and lifting confirms the move.
+- [x] **HUD typography.** *Closed 2026-05-11.* New system
+  `update_hud_typography` fires on `WindowResized` and adjusts Tier-1
+  font sizes based on viewport width. Below 480 logical px: Score
+  `TYPE_HEADLINE` (26) → `TYPE_BODY_LG` (18), Moves/Timer
+  `TYPE_BODY_LG` (18) → `TYPE_CAPTION` (11), so all three items fit
+  in the 180 dp HUD column on a 360 dp phone. At ≥ 480 px the
+  original sizes are restored — desktop/tablet layout unchanged.
+  `add_message::<WindowResized>()` added defensively to `HudPlugin`
+  so the system works under `MinimalPlugins` in tests.
+- [x] **Orientation lock.** *Closed 2026-05-11.* Added
+  `[package.metadata.android.application.activity]` section to
+  `solitaire_app/Cargo.toml` with `orientation = "portrait"`.
+  cargo-apk/ndk-build maps this to `android:screenOrientation="portrait"`
+  in the generated `AndroidManifest.xml`. Remove (or add a landscape
+  layout) before enabling auto-rotate.
+
+## P3 — Asset density
+
+- [x] **Density-aware card scaling.** *Closed 2026-05-11 — no code change
+  required.* `WindowResized` fires with **logical** pixels; sprites are
+  sized in world units (1 world unit = 1 logical pixel); Bevy's renderer
+  maps logical → physical via `scale_factor` internally. On a 360 dp
+  3×-DPI phone, cards are 40 logical dp = 120 physical px. The 256 × 384 px
+  card textures are **downscaled** to fit (256 → 120 px) — quality is fine.
+  Upscaling only occurs if `card_width × scale_factor > 256`, i.e. a
+  tablet with a logical width > 765 dp at 3× DPI — no current target
+  device falls in that range. Revisit if the game ships on large-screen
+  high-DPI tablets.
+- [x] **App-icon density buckets.** *Closed 2026-05-11.* Created
+  `solitaire_app/res/mipmap-{mdpi,hdpi,xhdpi,xxhdpi,xxxhdpi}/ic_launcher.png`
+  from the existing `assets/icon/` PNGs (48→mdpi, 64→hdpi, 128→xhdpi,
+  256→xxhdpi+xxxhdpi). Added `resources = "res"` to
+  `[package.metadata.android]` so `aapt` packages the mipmap tree into the
+  APK, and `icon = "@mipmap/ic_launcher"` to
+  `[package.metadata.android.application]` so the launcher references it.
+- [x] **Full keyboard-hint sweep.** *Closed 2026-05-11.* Extended the
+  P1 suppression to cover all remaining hint sites:
+  - `ui_modal.rs::spawn_modal_button` — single `#[cfg(target_os = "android")] let hotkey = None;`
+    line covers every modal button across onboarding, pause, confirm-new-game,
+    game-over, restore-prompt, play-by-seed, home, help, profile, stats,
+    leaderboard, settings, and achievement modals simultaneously.
+  - `home_plugin.rs` — mode-card hotkey chips (N/C/Z/X/T) gated with
+    `#[cfg(not(target_os = "android"))]` on the chip container.
+  - `replay_overlay.rs` — `[SPACE]/[ESC]/[←→]` footer hint text gated
+    with `#[cfg(not(target_os = "android"))]`; mode-indicator text kept.
+  - `help_plugin.rs` — keyboard chip containers in the controls reference
+    table gated with `#[cfg(not(target_os = "android"))]`; description
+    text kept (still useful on touch).
+
+## P4 — Stability / runtime
+
+- [x] **B0004 ECS hierarchy warnings.** *Investigated 2026-05-11 — no
+  fix required.* B0004 fires via Bevy's `validate_parent_has_component<C>`
+  hook when a child entity has UI component `C` (e.g. `Node`,
+  `InheritedVisibility`) but its parent doesn't yet. In Bevy 0.18,
+  `.despawn()` is recursive (docs: "When a parent is despawned, all
+  children will also be despawned"), so all `.despawn()` calls in the
+  engine are safe. The warnings seen on the Pixel 7 AVD during startup
+  are a component-propagation timing artifact — UI children reach the
+  hook before the parent's inherited components finish initialising —
+  not a gameplay defect. `despawn_related::<Children>()` in
+  `card_plugin.rs` is explicit child-only teardown (parent kept alive)
+  and is correct. No gameplay bugs attributed to these warnings over 2+
+  min AVD runtime.
+- [x] **AVD functional tests for JNI bridges.** *Closed 2026-05-11.*
+  Pixel 7 AVD (Android 14, x86_64) confirmed running; APK installs
+  and runs stable. Key findings:
+
+  **Keystore JNI — verified working.** Forced `SolitaireServerClient`
+  by writing a `solitaire_server` settings file, triggering
+  `android_keystore::load_access_token()` at startup via `start_pull`.
+  Logcat confirmed: `sync pull failed: authentication error: token
+  not found for user avd_test` — the JNI call to `AndroidKeyStore`
+  completed, correctly returned `NotFound`, and the sync system
+  handled the error gracefully. No panic, no crash from the JNI layer.
+
+  **Clipboard JNI — verified working.** Added a temporary
+  `KEYCODE_C` test hook (`avd_clipboard_test` system) to
+  `stats_plugin.rs`, rebuilt the APK, pressed C on the AVD.
+  Logcat confirmed: `[avd_clipboard_test] clipboard JNI OK` —
+  `ClipboardManager.setPrimaryClip()` succeeded on Android 14.
+  Test hook reverted; production clipboard path still requires
+  `Interaction::Pressed` on the share button with a non-null
+  `share_url` (won game + sync server).
+
+  **Side-finding fixed:** `reqwest`/`hyper-util`'s `GaiResolver`
+  calls `tokio::runtime::Handle::current()` which panics with "no
+  reactor running" when driven by Bevy's `AsyncComputeTaskPool`
+  (async-executor, not Tokio). Fixed in `sync_plugin.rs`: all three
+  `AsyncComputeTaskPool::spawn` sites and the `push_on_exit` fallback
+  now wrap HTTP futures in a temporary
+  `tokio::runtime::Builder::new_current_thread().enable_all()` runtime.
+
+  **Touch input limitation:** `adb shell input tap` does not deliver
+  touch events to Bevy/winit on Android 14 + android-activity 0.6.1
+  in headless AVD mode. Keyboard events (`KEYCODE_*`) work normally.
+
+---
+
+## P5 — UX polish (2026-05-12)
+
+- [x] **UX-1 — Modal Done button unreachable in gesture zone.** *Closed
+  2026-05-12.* New `apply_safe_area_to_modal_scrims` system in
+  `safe_area.rs` pads every `ModalScrim` bottom by `insets.bottom /
+  window.scale_factor()` (logical pixels). Fires when `SafeAreaInsets`
+  changes AND when a new `ModalScrim` is spawned (`Added<ModalScrim>`
+  filter). Verified on device: Settings Done button reachable at physical
+  y ≈ 1800–2000 (was y ≈ 2232+, inside gesture zone).
+- [x] **UX-5b — Home mode selector glyph corruption.** *Closed
+  2026-05-12.* `home_plugin.rs` mode glyphs changed from Geometric Shapes
+  block (U+25xx — absent from FiraMono, renders as rectangles) to card
+  suits U+2660 ♠ / U+2665 ♥ / U+2666 ♦. Affects Zen, Challenge, and
+  Daily mode selector buttons shown at level 5+.
+- [x] **UX-7 — Help screen HUD button entry wraps to two lines.** *Closed
+  2026-05-12.* Android `CONTROL_SECTIONS` entry for ≡ button shortened
+  from `"Menu: Stats, Settings, Profile, Achievements"` to
+  `"Open menu (Stats, Settings, Profile...)"` in `help_plugin.rs`.
+  Fits on one line at 360 dp.
+- [x] **BUG-3 — Multi-modal stacking (Stats + Profile simultaneously).** *Closed
+  2026-05-12.* `handle_menu_button` in `hud_plugin.rs` now checks
+  `scrims: Query<(), With<ModalScrim>>` and only calls
+  `spawn_menu_popover` when `scrims.is_empty()`. Tapping ≡ while any
+  modal is open is a no-op. Verified on device.
+
+## 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.

+//! Play-by-Seed dialog: lets the player type a decimal seed number and start
+//! a Classic game with that exact deal. A live solver-verification badge
+//! updates asynchronously after a short typing debounce so the player knows
+//! whether the deal is provably winnable before committing.
+//!
+//! # Flow
+//!
+//! 1. `HomePlugin` fires [`StartPlayBySeedRequestEvent`] when the "Play by
+//!    Seed" card is clicked (or `6` is pressed in the Mode Launcher).
+//! 2. `handle_open_dialog` reads the event and spawns the seed-input modal.
+//! 3. `handle_text_input` appends decimal digits / handles Backspace while
+//!    the modal is open, updating [`SeedInputBuffer`] each frame.
+//! 4. `tick_debounce_and_spawn_solver_task` waits for 12 frames (~200 ms at
+//!    60 Hz) of no input before spawning a [`try_solve`] task on
+//!    [`AsyncComputeTaskPool`]. Any fresh keypress drops the in-flight task
+//!    by resetting the resource.
+//! 5. `poll_solver_task` polls the in-flight task each frame and updates the
+//!    [`SolverVerdictBadge`] text node with the verdict.
+//! 6. `handle_confirm` fires [`NewGameRequestEvent`] with the parsed seed and
+//!    despawns the dialog on Play click or `Enter`.
+//! 7. `handle_cancel` despawns the dialog on Cancel click or `Escape`.
