+- Production component APIs, tokens, accessibility behavior, and implementation examples are mirrored in this directory for code review.

They are process/design lenses, not Figma platform dependencies.

 ## Visual Audit Snapshot
 
-- The 2026-07-01 fourth pass found that Figma pages `28 Implementation Contract` through `34 Workspace State Matrix` could appear empty or stale unless each page was loaded before inspection. Some pages also had duplicate historical roots. That mismatch was treated as a design-system defect.
-- Pages `28` through `34` were loaded with `figma.setCurrentPageAsync(page)`, cleaned to one visible root each, and rebuilt in Figma with text-bearing nodes, code paths, state maps, QA rules, and concrete mobile/desktop screen anatomy.
-- Current verified Figma root IDs are `99:2` (`28 Implementation Contract`), `99:82` (`29 UI Repair Playbook`), `99:171` (`30 Publisher + QA Matrix`), `99:253` (`31 Component Contract Catalog`), `99:415` (`32 Screen Blueprints`), `99:714` (`33 Figma-Only Readiness Audit`), and `99:560` (`34 Workspace State Matrix`).
-- Use colon-form IDs such as `99:560` in Figma Plugin API calls. Use hyphen-form IDs such as `node-id=99-560` in Figma URLs.
-- The post-rebuild structural audit reported `0` empty pages, `0` duplicate roots, `0` empty roots, `0` low-detail placeholder sections, `0` manual-height clipping candidates, `0` parent-overflow candidates, and `0` top-level overlap candidates across pages `28` through `34`.
+- Figma page `33 Figma-Only Readiness Audit` contains the `2026-07-01 visual pass - PASS` evidence row.
+- Pages `28 Implementation Contract`, `29 UI Repair Playbook`, `30 Publisher + QA Matrix`, `31 Component Contract Catalog`, `32 Screen Blueprints`, and `33 Figma-Only Readiness Audit` each contain one visible root frame.
+- The 2026-07-01 Figma audit found no empty root, hidden root, top-level overlap candidate, or remaining manual-height text clipping candidate on pages 28-33 after the intro and gap text was changed to auto-height.
+- Figma page `33 Figma-Only Readiness Audit` also contains the `2026-07-01 placeholder section pass - PASS` evidence row.
+- Page `32 Screen Blueprints` was hardened after the first visual pass: its mobile and desktop blocks now show concrete UI anatomy for header/role controls, source controls, status/progress, metric cards, navigation, console details, section roadmap, groove map, and export actions.
+- The stricter page 32 audit found `0` label-only/empty blueprint sections and `0` text clipping candidates after those additions.
+- A second-pass 2026-07-01 Figma audit found `10` overflow candidates and `2` sibling-overlap candidates across pages 28-33. Page `29 UI Repair Playbook`, page `31 Component Contract Catalog`, and page `32 Screen Blueprints` were repaired in Figma; the final audit reports `0` overflow candidates and `0` sibling-overlap candidates.
 - `32 Screen Blueprints` remains the visual target for source-first mobile and desktop repair work. The current app implements that source-first order in [App.tsx](../../apps/desktop/src/App.tsx), and the regression is covered by [App.test.tsx](../../apps/desktop/src/App.test.tsx).
-- If a Figma page or blueprint section is empty, label-only, or structurally detached from its visible text, treat that as a Figma handoff defect unless the corresponding runtime surface is genuinely unimplemented. The fourth pass found the relevant runtime surfaces already implemented, so Figma was corrected instead of adding code.
-- A runtime state audit found the app already implements `EmptyState`, `LoadingState`, and `ErrorState` in [WorkspaceStates.tsx](../../apps/desktop/src/features/workspace/WorkspaceStates.tsx), with routing in [App.tsx](../../apps/desktop/src/App.tsx). Page `34 Workspace State Matrix` now mirrors that contract with visible text nodes at root `99:560`.
+- If a Figma metadata overview appears to show pages 28-33 as empty, inspect the page root node directly before treating it as a defect. The verified root IDs are `50:2`, `50:20`, `50:59`, `51:2`, `50:86`, and `50:133`.
+- If a blueprint block is only a large labeled box, treat that as a Figma handoff defect unless the corresponding runtime surface is genuinely unimplemented. The 2026-07-01 audit found the code was implemented, so Figma page 32 was corrected instead of changing app code.

-# Product Design Handoff
-
-This is the repo mirror for Product Design material that must also live in the BandScope Figma file. If Figma is missing one of these details, treat that as a design-system defect before adding new code.
-
-Figma file: https://www.figma.com/design/zthWmqfNKUgJBECvv002Qk
-
-## Product Scope
-
-BandScope turns a local song source into a rehearsal workspace for players, singers, and publishers. The desktop app must support these jobs:
-
-- Choose local audio or import a YouTube URL.
-- Start analysis only after a valid source exists.
-- Show pending, loading, error, and ready workspace states without blank panels.
-- Review song structure, groove, role guidance, collaboration notes, and confidence.
-- Export cue sheet, chart JSON, and handoff JSON from a ready workspace.
-- Save and load local projects.
-
-Out of scope for this handoff: new routes, cloud sharing, account settings, live collaboration, and a standalone component extraction unless the pattern is reused twice.
-
-## Information Architecture
-
-| Area | Purpose | Current surface | Runtime owner |
-| --- | --- | --- | --- |
-| App shell | Brand, primary rehearsal navigation, local-first reassurance | Desktop sidebar and compact mobile nav | `apps/desktop/src/App.tsx` |
-| Source controls | Source selection, YouTube import, project open/save, start analysis | Top source-control band before metrics | `apps/desktop/src/App.tsx` |
-| Analysis summary | Tempo, key, transpose, confidence, priority | Metric row below source controls | `apps/desktop/src/App.tsx` |
-| Workspace state | Empty, loading, error, ready routing | Main content state card or workspace | `apps/desktop/src/App.tsx`, `WorkspaceStates.tsx` |
-| Rehearsal workspace | Song header, export actions, timeline, roles, groove, section roadmap | Ready state workspace | `Workspace.tsx` and feature components |
-| Export handoff | CSV, chart JSON, metadata handoff JSON | Ready workspace action group | `Workspace.tsx`, `lib/export` |
-
-## Screen Definitions
-
-| Screen/state | Entry condition | Primary action | Key content | Empty/error rule |
-| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
-| Workspace Home | No analyzed song and no active job | Choose local audio or import YouTube | Brand shell, source controls, pending metrics, actionable empty card | Empty card must explain next action; never show a blank canvas. |
-| Source Selected | Valid local or YouTube source exists | Start Analysis | Selected source pill, enabled start button, pending metrics | Invalid source messages stay in the source-control band. |
-| Analyzing | `isStarting`, queued, or running job | Wait; progress is informational | Loading card plus progress label/percent when available | Loading card uses live-region semantics. |
-| Error | Job, import, load, or validation error | Choose another source, retry analysis, or load project | Safe redacted error copy | Error state uses alert semantics and must not leak local paths, URLs, or secrets. |
-| Ready Workspace | `jobResult` exists | Review and export rehearsal output | Song header, export group, timeline, role switcher, groove map, section roadmap | Missing optional collaboration data uses copy, not empty modules. |
-
-## Key Screens
-
-1. `Workspace Home` is the first screen and must prioritize source controls above metrics on mobile and desktop.
-2. `Analyzing` must confirm work is in progress through both the workspace state card and the compact progress region when progress exists.
-3. `Ready Workspace` is the production handoff screen for players and publishers; exports stay in the song header, not hidden below analysis modules.
-4. `Error` is a recovery screen; the user must still see the source controls above it.

-| Band leader | As a band leader, I can see priority sections and confidence before rehearsal. | Metrics, focus section, confidence badges, and section roadmap are visible in the ready workspace. |
-| Publisher | As a publisher, I can export cue sheet, chart, and handoff files from the ready workspace. | Export buttons exist only when `jobResult` exists and produce CSV/JSON downloads. |
-| Privacy-conscious user | As a local-first user, I can recover from errors without exposing local paths, URLs, or secrets. | Error copy passes through `safeErrorDetail` and uses alert semantics. |
