punktfunk-planning/design/android-console-ui-visual-refresh.md(WP1–WP9, all but WP8.4), plus one round of on-glass review on the Nothing Phone 3 that reshaped the visual half. Field-tested: the final build is running on the NP3.The two named bugs (the reason the plan exists)
GamepadSettingsLayoutTestdrives the real screen and asserts neighbouring-row bounds don't move.systemBarsPadding(), which excludesWindowInsets.displayCutout— in landscape the punch is a side inset with no bar behind it.consoleSafeArea()=systemBars ∪ displayCutout, verified against the device's reported[162,0][0,72]insets. The home carousel deliberately stays full-bleed (insetting it clipped the fanned cards — worse than cards behind a camera).The premium-feel work
mesh_skslported to AGSL behind API 33+ (blob fallback below; compile failure falls back rather than crashing). Locale trap handled: shader constants format throughLocale.ROOTor a German device emits0,075— a syntax error.Crossfade(240);ConsoleMotion/ConsoleShapebecome the single vocabulary. The easing is the analytic1−(1−t)³— the first cut shipped a bezier published under the same name that is 0.08 slack at the midpoint, which the shared vectors (below) now catch.GamepadOptionBanddrum as the select field: options ride a turning cylinder, spring retargeting preserves velocity across rapid steps, neighbours exist only mid-flight, per-option edge fade (never a mask — it rasterises the projection away).LazyListStateper pane — the shared-state constraint is what produced the first cut's fake fade), landscape rows capped at Apple's 620 dp.Functional parity (WP8)
GamepadChordTestpins eight cases (the kit had no router-chord test at all). Start-of-stream banner with per-session honest text.ColorSchemederived from the palette (28 touch-theme colour sites were invisible over the six pale palettes).Structural (WP9)
ConnectScreen.kt1361 → ~980 +HomeTiles.kt(pure, unit-tested tile builder),ConnectGrid.kt,ConnectPrompts.kt. The connect engine deliberately stayed — it closes over ~20 locals and needs a state holder first.clients/shared/console-vectors.json— the palette table (including the derived 16-cell mesh), tab names and motion constants, consumed by Rust, Kotlin and Swift tests via thedeeplink-vectors.jsonpattern. Two real drifts caught on day one: the wrong easing bezier, and the desktop's mobile-absent Input tab (modelled asdesktop_onlyrather than either side being "wrong"). Rust side verified under Linux (77/0 — a Maccargo teston this crate compiles nothing and passes vacuously).Pre-existing bugs fixed en route
ControllersScreennulled the shared input probes unconditionally on dispose, killing the incoming screen's pad nav during transitions.Still open
CI: android.yml gains a filtered app-module test step (vectors + tile builder + layout + sub-screen tests) so the contracts gate on push without dragging the Roborazzi scenes in. Merged
main(launcher icons landed on the same files) — clean, full gate green after.WP8.2 and the rest of WP8.7 from the console visual-refresh plan. **The console's Edit Host was missing two decisions entirely.** The touch edit sheet has always offered a shared-clipboard switch and a profile binding; the console form built only name, address, port and MAC. Nothing was ever LOST — `KnownHost.copy` preserved both — but a couch-only user could never CHANGE either, and a TV box has no touch interface to fall back to. Both are now rows in the console form, driven like settings rows: left/right steps them, A flips or cycles. The binding is filtered through the live catalog, so a host bound to a since-deleted profile reads as unset rather than as a name nothing resolves — the same guard the touch sheet applies. "Default settings" leads the ring as the ABSENCE of a binding, not as a fake catalog entry. **Accessibility, finished.** The library's coverflow now says which poster a press acts on — from the art alone a centred cover and a neighbour are indistinguishable, and only the centred one launches. The group heading is a live region: it is the sole signal that the cursor has crossed from the launchers into the games, and a coverflow gives a reader no other way to notice, being one strip rather than two lists. The store badge says why it is there ("Opens Steam" / "From Steam") instead of reading out a bare vendor name after the title.Every item from the on-glass review on the Nothing Phone 3, which found the refresh technically correct and visually wrong. **The glass was structurally broken, twice.** The focus bloom was drawn OUTSIDE the clip on purpose ("a glow that stops at the edge is just a brighter border") — but unclipped drawing does not stop at the row's neighbours either: in a list it painted over the rows above and below, and in the carousel it escaped the card entirely. And the focus drop shadow is drawn UNDER the surface, which is translucent — so the shadow showed straight through the fill as a dark rectangle floating inside every card and field. Both are gone, and the comment forbids their return: the Apple glass (`GlassStyle.swift`) is material + an animatable tint, full stop. Focus is now the fill and border brightening (tint up to 0.28, near Apple's 0.30) — which is also why it finally animates like the Apple client: one interpolating fill instead of four stacked effects arriving on separate curves. **The select field is now the Apple drum.** `ConsoleOptionBand` ports `GamepadOptionBand.swift` whole: options ride a turning cylinder segment, position driven by one spring whose retargeting preserves velocity — rapid steps accumulate into one accelerating travel instead of five restarted fades. Linear, not a ring; neighbours exist only mid-flight; the soft edge is per-option opacity, never a mask (a mask rasterises the projection away — the Apple file's own field verdict). The band's width is fixed by the row, so a step can never reflow the chevrons; portrait narrows it (132 dp) because at 156 the LABELS truncated, and a clipped label loses meaning where a drum value only loses its tail into the edge fade. Chevrons are icons now, not '‹' text glyphs. **Landscape got room.** Rows cap at the Apple client's 620 dp and sit left; the focused row's description moved into the width a wide phone was wasting — a side pane on the right, with the row's label anchoring it — instead of a band floating over the list's tail. Portrait keeps the band. Add-host fields take the same cap. **The list is no longer guillotined.** The safe area now applies to the CHROME (strip, sides, top) only; the list runs to the physical bottom edge with the bottom inset folded into its contentPadding, so scrolled rows glide off the screen instead of being cut at an invisible line above it. **"Default settings" stopped shouting.** The headline that repeated itself on every tab is a quiet "Defaults" chip at the strip's end — same honesty (this screen edits the base layer only), no second heading repeating the tab pill's own word. **Tab switching is finally directional.** The old cut slid a single list's contents 24 dp under an 85 % fade — the same crossfade whichever shoulder was pressed. It is now an AnimatedContent whose incoming section slides from the side the press pointed at while the outgoing leaves the other way. Each pane owns its own LazyListState (one state cannot attach to two lists — the constraint that motivated the single-list hack), seeded at the section's restored cursor. **The carousel ignores the safe area again, on purpose.** Insetting the pager clipped the fanned neighbours at the cutout edge; cards visibly cut off is worse than cards behind a camera. Only the centred card matters and it sits mid-screen — the title and legend keep their insets, they are content. **The legend stopped jumping.** The connect takeover parked its pill at bottom-CENTRE, so pressing Connect made the one piece of chrome that should read as fixed leap halfway across the screen. It now sits at the same bottom-start inset as every console screen.
