Phase C dismissal audit: Esc / scrim-tap / Done must behave the same
on every modal. Stragglers found and fixed — none of these had any
Esc path (pause's toggle guard swallowed the key while they were
open):
- Settings: Esc clears SettingsScreen, gated on being the topmost
modal so a stacked sync-setup / theme-store dialog owns Esc
- Help: Esc closes alongside F1/Done (the code comment already
claimed an Esc path existed — now it does)
- Leaderboard: Esc closes when topmost; the display-name dialog
stacked above it now Esc-cancels like sync-setup's dialog
- Theme store: Esc closes (always topmost when open)
Scrim-tap opt-ins are unchanged — ui_modal documents which modals
deliberately stay non-dismissible on outside clicks.
Tests: escape_closes_help_screen, escape_closes_settings_screen_flag.

Phase C of docs/ui-redesign-2026-07.md. The Modes row is gone — Home
owns mode selection, so the popover's Play section carries a Home row
firing the new ToggleHomeRequestEvent (read by toggle_home_screen
alongside the existing M accelerator). Section headers are quiet
caption-size labels inside the existing panel widget, not a new
widget. The action-bar Modes button and its popover are untouched
(their removal is Phase B territory when Home gains hierarchy).
- MenuOption: Modes variant replaced by Home; rows grouped Play (Home)
· You (Profile, Stats, Achievements) · Community (Leaderboard) ·
System (Settings, Help)
- handle_menu_option_click no longer chains into spawn_modes_popover
- Tests: tooltip sweep updated (7 rows still), new
toggle_home_event_opens_home_screen covers the popover's open path
