Subject: [PATCH 01/15] fix(frontend): omit empty fenced markdown blocks
Problem: empty fenced code blocks rendered as bordered phantom cards in shared Markdown surfaces.\n\nRoot cause: the shared code component always mounted CodeViewer for block-shaped code, including whitespace-only fences.\n\nFix: omit whitespace-only fenced blocks while preserving non-empty code and add renderer parity coverage.\n\nVerification: pnpm exec tsx src/__tests__/markdown-pipeline.test.tsx; pnpm test:transcript; pnpm build.

Subject: [PATCH 02/15] fix(frontend): fence transcript geometry transactions
Problem: history prepends, virtualized measurement, scrollbar drags, and question jumps could restore stale anchors and move the reader by multiple screens.\n\nRoot cause: small sessions were fully mounted during reader gestures, prepend coverage waited on the whole list, scrollbar mapping stayed on stale extents, and diagnostics did not classify restore-anchor reversals.\n\nFix: add tokenized surface transaction telemetry, use bounded reader corridors with logical-anchor coverage, rebase custom scrollbar drags after geometry changes, add a stable 16px question-jump offset correction, and report unauthorized scroll reversals.\n\nVerification: pnpm test:transcript; PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH=.pw-browsers pnpm test:transcript-browser; PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH=.pw-browsers pnpm test:transcript-reader-browser; pnpm test:typecheck; pnpm build.

Subject: [PATCH 03/15] fix(frontend): fence native transcript scrollbar
generations
Problem: a native thumb completion could outlive the transcript surface that started it.\n\nRoot cause: native scrollbar ownership tracked pointer identity but not the surface generation.\n\nFix: bind native thumb transactions to generationRef and reject stale observations, finishes, and activity checks.\n\nVerification: pnpm exec tsx src/__tests__/transcript-reader-extent-race.test.tsx; pnpm exec tsx src/__tests__/transcript-native-scrollbar.test.ts; pnpm exec eslint src/lib/useTranscriptNativeScrollbarOwnership.ts src/lib/useTranscriptScrollArbiter.ts.

Subject: [PATCH 08/15] test(frontend): align native smoke with reader corridor
Problem: the native smoke contract waited for every logical row, which conflicts with the bounded reader corridor used to prevent measurement storms.
Root cause: the test encoded the removed full-mount behavior instead of the new corridor contract.
Fix: wait for a painted mounted corridor row and visible viewport, then retain the existing stability, blank-frame, reversal, and tail assertions.
Verification: Windows 11 WebView2 transcript smoke; native composer smoke; native selection compositor smoke; node --check desktop/transcript_native_smoke_contract.js.

Subject: [PATCH 11/15] fix(frontend): suppress anchor writes during reader
lease
Problem: delayed WebKit geometry callbacks could start an anchor-compensation writer while an active reader gesture still owned the viewport.
Root cause: generic geometry scheduling and the imperative writer had no final reader-intent fence.
Fix: expose the live reader layout lease to geometry scheduling and reject anchor-compensation writes while the transcript declares reader intent. Add a deterministic writer regression for the ownership fence.
Verification: focused ESLint; transcript scroll-writer, anchor-compensation, and reader-extent race suites; repolint.

Subject: [PATCH 12/15] chore(frontend): ratchet raw bundle budget for lease
fence
Problem: the reader-lease writer fence raises the measured initial raw bundle to 2473.1 KiB.
Fix: retain the smallest one-decimal raw budget ceiling at 2473.2 KiB and document the attributable fence.
Verification: pnpm build.

Subject: [PATCH 13/15] fix(frontend): hold blank WebKit range replacement
Problem: WebKit can briefly unmount the logical reader anchor during a delayed range replacement, exposing a blank viewport before the corridor remounts it.
Root cause: reader visual guarding depended on an anchor row rect, while the replacement can remove that row for one or more paints.
Fix: retain a bounded visual hold from the accepted native scroll position when a rejected range is blank and the anchor row is temporarily unavailable. Keep the writer and reader ownership fences unchanged.
Verification: focused reader-extent and anchor-compensation race suites; pnpm build.

Subject: [PATCH 15/15] test(frontend): cover blank transcript range
replacement
Problem: a delayed WebView2 range replacement can unmount the logical reader anchor for one paint, making stale transcript pixels appear duplicated during a running turn.
Root cause: the reader extent regression suite covered mounted-anchor corrections but not the blank-range interval where no anchor row is available.
Fix: add a deterministic race fixture that collapses the native extent, unmounts the logical anchor, and asserts that the visual guard is retained.
Verification: pnpm exec tsx src/__tests__/transcript-reader-extent-race.test.tsx (59 passed).
