C3a Bar, HUD, toasts, tooltips look: evidence log

Package card: PLAN §2.4 "C3a". Owns theme/30-bar.css, theme/35-hud.css, theme/vr/60-overlays.css, theme/vr/pre/sys_zoo.js, device/rt/30-bar.js, device/rt/35-hud.js, theme/popups/30-bar.json, theme/layers/30-bar.json, and the mockups control-center-bar.html, control-center-hud.html, window-nav-toast.html. Surfaces: bar, bar popups other than "+" and Quick Access, tooltip, volumelevel, notifications, floatingfooter (look only), SteamVR overlays. Concept text is not C3a's: CC (concepts/control-center.md) is C3b's and WN (concepts/window-nav.md) is C1a's, so text changes go to them as requests (below); the operative test list for this package is in "Acceptance tests" here.

Status

• READY: wp.c3a (2026-10-07 10:45, build 11094443). Evidence in the table below: with --flags wp.c3a in both --mode laser and --mode pad, G-AUD has no GONE / HIDDEN / SHRUNK / UNCLICKABLE / CONTRAST finding on bar, barpopup (Playspace, Streaming, the Steam tab menu), tooltip, volumelevel, floatingfooter; the bar's gamepad traversal (View x2, Right x8, Left x8) reaches every item in Steam's order both ways with wrap and a visible focus light, no outline; the modules bar and hud log no error and leave no attribute when the flag goes off.
• M2 (T1) reached for C3a's surfaces: theme/30-bar.css and theme/35-hud.css rewritten (drafts identical in theme/_wip/). Bar = Home circle, apps capsule, system capsule (liquid-over-room tint + E3 edges), 56 pp discs at a 64 pp pitch, white on/open discs, focus light (+.32, spot, arc) or the scaled white glow, .18 selected disc + white dot, the pill on one line (clock 26 Semibold tabular). Bar popups and tab menus are panel glass with 64 pp rows, tab-menu current route = navigation selection; Streaming's primary is the blue capsule. Tooltip = thick capsule 40 pp, 18 Semibold; volume HUD panel capsule; floating hint 40 pp capsule; toasts 320 x 76, r 30, entrance by @starting-style (Steam's toastEnterVR / toastExitVR list untouched). theme/vr/60-overlays.css: the one ring (binding callout active) is now light. All DashboardMenu rules are scoped to %{Variant_TabMenu} (C1a's REQ done). python docs/phase2/fontkit.py --hooks was run for the new --lgs-edge / --lgs-ill hosts (tokens.md §2 allows it).
• M3 (T2) reached: device/rt/30-bar.js (module bar, flag wp.c3a: unread count from NotificationStore.m_nUnviewedNotifications as data-lgs-unread on Steam's bell, badge drawn in CSS; data-lgs-exempt= "E-BAR" on the disc slots) and device/rt/35-hud.js (module hud: data-lgs-val = round(100 x --normalized-slider-value), seen live as "30"). hudPlacement is not built: P6's wrapper cannot set a popup's y or pitch (reporter.md §5.2), so the HUD keeps Steam's placement (S21 default).
• Native fragments written: theme/layers/30-bar.json (owns: ["bar"], cover = the three pieces, unflagged because the T1 look is always on) and theme/popups/30-bar.json (owns: ["barpopup"], +25 mm, flag wp.c3a, needs wp.p6). Native check: deferred to V1: P7 fix in progress. The coordinator put a hold on the native lock (P7's scene-graph fix has priority) at about 10:45. Before that message arrived, one native-session had already run (10:34, sgcheck --flags wp.c3a plus one hv --look). Treat its result as provisional only: bar, barpopup, tooltip x3, volumelevel, notifications and floatingfooter had 0 pops at 0 mm and no C3a finding. The run's only FAILs were main's hdr-back (5.54 mm) and footer (4.43 mm) (R2), which are not C3a rules. The hv frame showed the bar as three separate glass pieces; it was viewed and then deleted (hv --clean, nothing kept). No native-mode run followed the hold. V1 should rerun native-session --step "sgcheck --flags wp.c3a,wp.p6" (also to read back the +25 mm barpopup request through P6's wrapper) once P7 releases the lock.
• Known, not fixed: (1) G-SIZE on bar lists Steam's pill glyphs (stock too; REQ C3a->P10). (2) G-OUTLINE: one bottom-edge probe on Streaming's first card (ratio .78), see Evidence. (3) D-9: capsules keep Steam's 80 pp height (mockup 72): the Bookend tab and avatar are 80-86 tall and BarSurface clips; bar 774 pp wide with no app tabs (mock ~728). (4) The Quick Access rules stay in 30-bar.css §4 and the keyboard in 35-hud.css §5 until C3b / C4b ask (PLAN §6). (5) PLAN-3a-1 cmp and G-FOCUS live pairs not run (expedited). (6) Toast look verified on a class-exact mock in the hidden notifications window (computed styles), not on a live toast.
• Device left: theme on, CSS-only (native-session returned), no C3a flag set, bar popups and tooltips closed, pointer parked with L.unhover(). The main route was changed by other agents' steps during this session; C3a navigates none.
• M0 reached (2026-10-07). Done this session:
  • The three owned mockups follow PLAN §1 (every §1 decision that touches C3a is in the table below) and are re-rendered: shots/p2_control-center_bar.png, shots/p2_control-center_hud.png, shots/p2_window-nav_toast.png. Each image was looked at and fixed until it matched the spec (label overlaps, a laser dot over text, an art override, the E-BAR slot).
  • Focus contrast measured on the bar render, bright and dim room (A/B twin renders): all G-FOCUS criteria pass with one noted change (the white-fill glow; REQ to P4).
  • The concept text changes for C3a's area are written out as requests to C3b (CC) and C1a (WN); the updated acceptance tests and the function retention table for C3a's area are in this file.
• Open from M0 (owned by others, not blocking C3a): the requests below (C3b, C1a, P4, P6, P10). When C3b/C1a apply them, their concept text matches this file; if they decline, this file's versions still bind C3a's own tests.
• Next session: M2 (T1). Rewrite theme/30-bar.css and theme/35-hud.css per the specs below; first the two-step moves of PLAN §6 (frame-menu rules → C1a 20-shell.css, "+" popup rules → C2b 32-launcher.css, Quick Access rules → C3b 31-cc.css, keyboard sections of 35-hud.css → C4b 36-keyboard.css): wait for each receiver's request, then delete. Use theme/_wip/ for work in progress and python glass.py check-theme before saving into theme/. Then gates G-AUD / G-SIZE / G-TYPE / G-OUTLINE on bar, barpopup (Playspace, Streaming, tab menus), tooltip, volumelevel, notifications (mock), floatingfooter (two-legend recipe), both input modes, and glass.py cmp (needs REQ C3a->P10).
• No device access this session (M0 is offline). Device left untouched.

Session log

2026-10-07 — M0 (conformance)

1. Read PLAN §0–§7, the C3a card, CC §2–§3, §6–§11, §13, WN §3.5.3, §5.5, §5.6, §8, §9.6, AT-18, D2 §2.5, §3.4, §3.7, §5.3, §11, VP P-01..P-89, inventories bar.md, hud.md, steamvr.md §5.2, GM §1.5, contracts tokens.md, interaction.md, reporter.md, lab.md.
2. grep -n "REQ [A-Za-z0-9]*->C3a:" docs/phase2/wp/*.md at start: no wp directory yet (no requests). At end: none.
3. Rewrote the three mockups (details per §1 item below), rendered, looked, fixed, re-rendered.
4. Ran the CC mockup audit (A2) on the bar mockup and the focus A/B measurements.
5. Wrote the requests.

Note on shots: PLAN §2.6 freezes the Phase 2 shots/p2_* files, but this session's M0 instruction is to re-render the owned mockups to shots/p2_<concept>_<name>.png, so the three files above were overwritten with the §1-conformant renders.

PLAN §1 conformance: every decision that touches C3a

§1	Decision	What it means for C3a	Applied
1.1	Toasts, bar tooltips, volume HUD, floating footer → C3a; WN §5.5 card size	Toast card 320 × 76 (CC's 336 × 76 at a 2 tp inset is withdrawn). Steam's %{GamepadToastPopup} keeps inset: 0 0 0 20px (do-not-touch, hud.md §4.4), so the card sits at x 20, y 2 of the 340 × 80 quad	Both toast mockups; REQ C3b (CC §8, A16), REQ C1a (WN §5.5)
1.2	Route glass modes; CC-M is windowless while open	The bar stays as it is while CC-M is open (always visible); only the pill turns white	Bar mockup unchanged in this respect
1.3	Bar disc 56 bar px at 64 pitch, slot 64 × 72	Unchanged sizes. E-BAR applies to every slot, the avatar's too: CC's 60 × 72 avatar slot becomes 64 × 72 (bar ≈ 728 pp with no app tabs, ≈ 856 pp with two)	Bar mockup (page-local override of the builder); REQ C3b (CC §3.1, builder)
1.4	Two input signals; laser looks on :hover; focus + white .28; selection .18 + arc; white-fill glow; no scale except cards and Home discs	Bar looks keyed on html.lgs-input-laser / -pad (P3 sets them on every popup, the bar included). Laser hover: + .08 and a .12 spot at the pointer, under the glyph (P-10). Gamepad focus: + .28, a static .16 spot at (50 %, 30 %), the disc's own arc ×1.5; no scale, no contact shadow (D-CC6 scale withdrawn: bar buttons are toolbar buttons, VP P-05). Pill: same, no ×1.06. Selected frame: .18 disc + top arc + Steam's indicator as a 6 pp white dot. White ("on", open source, pill open), coloured and art discs: the outer glow only, no fill (--lgs-ill: white). Steam's FocusRing on bar/barpopup stays transparent (the disc carries the focus; one focused look, P-13). Disabled: content and fill at 40 %, no hover	Bar mockup rows D–F; measured (below); REQ C3b (CC §3.2, §9, §15 D-CC6)
1.4	G-FOCUS criteria	Replace CC A25's "≥ 25, or ≥ 15 + scale ≥ 1.08" with G-FOCUS: ≥ +40 L over rest, ≥ selected + 15 L, glow band ≥ +20 L on white / coloured fills, first frame ≥ 60 %	Tests below; REQ C3b (A25)
1.4	Glyph badges only in gamepad mode	None added on the bar. The floating hint's glyphs are Steam's own legend nodes (§1.10: never hidden), shown in either mode	Toast mockup hint
1.5	One motion system: P5 tokens and lgs-mat-* keyframes; toasts keep toastExit*; nothing at rest; Reduce Motion fades	Toasts, tooltips and bar popups materialize with P5's keyframes (250 / 350 ms); toast entry replaces toastEnterVR, toastExitVR kept; HUD value steps on interactive; bar selection dot retimed to snappy (timing only). White-fill transitions (pill white, Room View on, popup source) run on fade 441 ms, not hover-in 294 ms: their mean luma rises > 80 L, which VP P-57 wants over ≥ 300 ms	Spec only (no motion in static mockups); REQ C3b (CC §9)
1.6	Materials: bar segments liquid; bar popups, toasts, HUD panel; menus thick (in-window); edges = conic arc + lobe, no linear top layer, no outline	Playspace / Streaming / tab menus are panel (they are bar popups on their own quad; CC said thick). T1 on separate quads = panel tint rgb(28 30 40 / .78) + edges (in-page blur sees nothing there). All three mockups draw E3 as arc + lobe (page-local copy of WN D-15 until P4's kit carries it)	All mockups; REQ C3b (CC §3.4, §10)
1.7	Depth: bar popups +25 mm (popup z through P6's wrapper, fallback 3.7 mm); tooltips CSS shadow only (wearer: owner + 5 mm); toasts and HUD are SteamVR-placed	theme/popups/30-bar.json (M4) asks +25 mm for Playspace, Streaming, tab menus (barpopup host type 1, except "+" = C2b, Quick Access = C3b). Separate quads clip any outer CSS shadow (hud.md §0, bar.md §2.0), so tooltip, toast, HUD and bar popups draw no outer CSS shadow; in T5 glassd adds its small contact shadow (GM §1.5)	Mockups: no outer shadow on tooltip / HUD / toasts; the menu's shadow set to glassd's contact size
1.8	Dimming	Nothing in C3a's area	—
1.10	Legends never hidden; quiet A/B; ornament capsule rules	Floating hint (floatingfooter, look only): Steam's legends and glyphs as Steam renders them. The in-window ornament is C1a's. CC-M's legends live in that in-window ornament, not in the floating footer (CC §2.2, §14 say otherwise)	Toast mockup; REQ C3b (CC §2.2, §14 wording)
1.12	Menu layouts by count; E-MENU; destructive rule by count; Steam's order and default focus	Bar menus stay one column: the barpopup host is 300 pp wide (D2 §3.4), so the ≥ 8 two-column layout cannot fit; Steam's tab menu (up to 10 rows with Console in developer mode, ≈ 710 pp) fits the 1024 pp host. E-MENU in pp (m .83): rows ≥ 50 visible on a contiguous pitch ≥ 53 (compact) or 65 (regular), ≥ 266 wide. Spec: 64 pp rows 5 pp apart (pitch 69, 6 main px gap), 20 pp Medium labels, 22 pp glyphs, 280–300 pp wide. Destructive rows by count (an app tab's Close, if Steam marks it); Steam's order and first focus untouched	Bar mockup menu; REQ C3b (CC §3.4)
1.13	Tooltips: thick capsule 48 px, 20 px Semibold, 0.8 s in / 0.2 s out (P3); bar tooltips through a ShowTooltip wrapper	Bar tooltip = Steam's tooltip host, 400 × 40 tp, a hard maximum (hud.md §1.3: the pill is 100 % of the 40 px window). So the capsule fills the host: 40 tall (= 48 main px at m .83, 44 at .90), 18 Semibold (= 22 / 20 main px), padding 0 18, thick glass, no outer shadow, Steam's below-the-bar placement and marquee untouched. Delay in: P3's wrapper (≥ 800 ms); out: Steam closes the host at once (no exit animation possible, MO R4)	Bar mockup row C; REQ C1a (WN §5.6, §8.1 "tooltips: panel" → thick), REQ C3b (CC §3.1, §3.4), REQ P6 (tooltip surface)
1.13	No sound on hover; haptics off	C3a adds no sounds	—
1.15	Strings from Steam's localization only	C3a draws only numerals (unread count, HUD number). The toast time label ("now", 15 tp) is dropped: Steam's template has none, it would be a new string, and 15 tp is under the G-TYPE floor (18 × .90 = 16.2 tp)	Toast mockups; REQ C3b (CC §8)
1.16	E-BAR: slots ≥ 64 × 72 bar px	As 1.3 (avatar slot)	Bar mockup; A4
1.17 S21	HUD moved to 12° below the eye line: off (hudPlacement)	The HUD ships at Steam's placement (y −0.4, z −0.8, pitch −20°: 27° below, 0.89 m) with the new look; the 12° placement only behind the flag	HUD mockup redrawn (default at 27°, the option labelled "flag off"); REQ C3b (CC §0, §1, §2.1, §6, §11.4, A15)
1.17 S3	Entrance overrides adopted; Steam's timeouts	Toast entrance replaced, toastExitVR kept	Spec
1.17 S16	Pointer proxy in native mode (C1a), also on bar	Nothing for C3a to draw; the bar CSS must not hide div.lgs-pointer	Note for M2
1.18 A8	Bar pitch 64 bar px	As 1.3	—

Other conformance fixes found while doing this (not a §1 change, but required by a §1 gate):

• Floating hint height. WN §3.5.3 says a 44 popup px capsule, but the floatingfooter host is 600 × 40 and its clip rect is the content box (hud.md §3.3), so the capsule is 40 tall, radius 20. Toast mockup fixed; REQ C1a.
• Glyph colour on icon discs (CC §7 rule): dark on green and orange, white on blue and red. The WN toast mockup had a white glyph on green: now game art. Incoming call: Steam's green whole fill with dark text (white on green ≈ 2:1).
• Achievement toasts show the achievement art as a rounded square (SM C.6, CC §8); the WN variant had a star disc.
• Game-page cluster depth in window-nav-toast.html: Play was data-dz="15"; §1.7 keeps the cluster over art at 0 mm until G2 and GP AT-HV-OFFAXIS pass. Now 0.

Decisions taken without the user (PLAN §1.17 rule: safe default, noted)

#	Question	Safe default taken	Flag
D-1	§1.4's white-fill glow 0 0 18px 2px white .30 measures +4 L in P-16's 8–16 px band on the bar render; the gate needs +20	Mockup shows 0 0 22px 8px white .55 (+23 L bright room, +27 L dim), the weakest tested value that passes. P4 owns --lgs-white-glow and sets the final value (REQ C3a->P4). Visibility of focus is the safer reading of §1	—
D-2	Bar menus and §1.12's two-column rule	One column (the 300 pp host cannot hold two); E-MENU converted to pp (× .83)	—
D-3	Tooltip height 48 vs the 40 px host	Fill the host (40 tp). A popup-scale request ×1.2 on tooltip hosts through popups/30-bar.json would reach 48 main-px-equivalent; not built unless a gate asks for it	barTipScale (not built; off)
D-4	Press on bar discs	Keep Steam's own press transform (%{PopupBody>Inner} scale .9 + %{ClickPop}, on the inventory's do-not-touch list, CC R6) and add only our glow on interactive; no extra swell, so scales never stack	barPressSwell (off; M2 decides with A4)
D-5	Art discs (app tabs) under focus	--lgs-ill: white treatment: outer glow, no white fill (a fill would wash the art)	—
D-6	The pill's "Quick Access Menu" tooltip vs VP P-12 ("no tooltip on controls with visible text")	Kept: the pill's visible content is status (clock, glyphs), not its name; the tooltip is the only label of the action. Recorded deviation (P-12 is a "should")	—
D-7	White-fill transitions	fade 441 ms (VP P-57), not hover-in	—
D-8	Toast header icon (%{ShortTemplate>Icon}, 13 tp svg)	Restyle to 18 tp (never hide a Steam node)	—

Measurements (mockup)

Focus contrast on shots/p2_control-center_bar.png against a twin render with every focus state removed (same pixels, same room; rest twin rendered from the same HTML with "focus" / "state":"focus" stripped). Mean luma 0–255, Rec.601 (VP SHOT) and Rec.709 agree within 0.2. Regions from the DOM rects of the render (--pop-scale 1.2: 56 pp disc = 67.2 px). Scripts in the session scratchpad (c3a/focus_ab.py, c3a/dim_ab.py, c3a/t1_ab.py, c3a/glow_test.py); not kept in the repo. The T1 column renders the same page with the kit's CSS-only rule (separate quads: panel tint .78 + edges); it was viewed as well (dark capsules, labels and focus clearly legible) and not kept.

Check	Criterion	Bright (studio)	Dim (data-dim)	T1 look (data-tier="t1")	Result
P-14 status pill, focus vs rest (capsule shape)	≥ +40	+40.4	+44.1	+55.8	PASS (bright at the edge; P4's tuning range .28–.32 gives margin)

A2 (CC mockup audit) on the bar mockup	discs ≥ 56, pitch 64, text ≥ 15 pp	python docs/phase2/concepts/control-center-mockaudit.py bar → PASS, min text 16 pp, slots [64], widths 740–856 pp, 51 targets, none below floor	—	—	PASS (before the avatar fix it reported a 60 pp slot)

Acceptance tests for C3a, updated to PLAN §1

These are the operative versions for C3a (card: CC A3–A6, A15, A16, A25 (bar), A26; WN AT-18; PLAN-3a-1, PLAN-3a-2; plus the global gates of §4.1 on C3a's surfaces). C3b and C1a are asked to carry the same text in their concepts. All live steps hold the lab locks, follow the never-list, use --mode laser|pad, end hover steps with the pointer at (1400, 900) and check vrPooledPopupStore.m_mapTooltips is empty.

G-REMOVE	Nothing persists	lgs off, then outline bar + status	Stock bar, popups, tooltip, HUD; popup wrapper params restored; no data-lgs-*

Function retention (C3a's area)

The full list as CC §11 / WN §9 should carry it, with owner and test columns (PLAN §4.5 ledger). "Unchanged" = Steam's node and handler, restyled. Pad to bar = View ("Cycle View").

Requests

• REQ C3a->C3b: CC concept text for C3a's area, to PLAN §1 (details and numbers in docs/phase2/wp/C3a.md, "PLAN §1 conformance" and "Acceptance tests"). (1) Mockup table: -bar = "six states in two input modes: Playspace open, rest, laser hover with tooltip, gamepad focus on the pill, on a plain disc beside the selected Steam circle, on the white Room View disc"; -hud = "HUD at Steam's placement (default) and the 12° option behind hudPlacement (off); two banners". (2) §0, §1, §2.1 hp row, §6 Placement and Shape rows, §11.4 V1, A15: the HUD ships at Steam's placement (S21); 12° / 0.82 m only behind the flag. (3) §3.1: avatar slot 64 × 72 (E-BAR); widths ≈ 728 pp (no tabs) / ≈ 856 pp (two); tooltip row = thick capsule filling the 400 × 40 host (40 tp, 18 Semibold), 0.8 s via P3's wrapper. (4) §3.2 and §9: D-CC6 replaced by PLAN §1.4 (+ .28, static .16 spot, arc ×1.5, no scale, no contact shadow; white / coloured / art discs: outer glow only; selected = .18 + top arc + dot); press = glow only, Steam's press transform kept (R6); white fills on fade (VP P-57); laser looks keyed on html.lgs-input-laser. Delete the "visibly larger and haloed" sentence (use the measured values). (5) §3.4: bar popups are panel glass (§1.6), one column (300 pp host), 64 pp rows 5 pp apart, 22 pp glyphs, E-MENU in pp, destructive rule by count. (6) §8: card 320 × 76 at Steam's x 20 (inset untouched); remove the time label (not Steam's, new string, 15 tp < G-TYPE floor); TwoLine = 2 × 18 tp, card 80; 3 px presence ring; header icon 18 tp; swell 1 + 12/320. (7) §2.3: add a tooltip row (CSS shadow only, clipped on the bar host: inner cues; wearer owner + 5 mm). (8) §10: add a tooltip row (T1 tint .80 + edges; T5 thick cover on tooltip, surface pending P6). (9) §13: replace A3–A6, A15, A16, A25 (bar part), A26 with the versions in C3a.md (A25: G-FOCUS criteria instead of "≥ 25 / ≥ 15 + scale"); add C3a-HINT, C3a-TIP, C3a-MOT. (10) §11: add Owner and Test columns (PLAN §4.5 ledger reads them); C3a's rows are listed in C3a.md. (11) §2.2 / §14: CC-M's legends are in the in-window ornament (§1.10), not Steam's floating footer.
• REQ C3a->C3b: shared mockup files. (1) control-center-build.js buildBar: avatar slot width:60px → 64 (E-BAR); C3a's page currently overrides it. (2) --cc-glow follows P4's final --lgs-white-glow (REQ C3a->P4: the §1.4 literal fails P-16 on the bar render). (3) FYI: control-center-bar.html no longer uses .mrow (bar menus use the kit's .lgk-row with page-local pp sizes), and it draws the E3 lobe locally rather than loading window-nav-shared.css.
• REQ C3a->C1a: WN text for C3a's area. (1) §3.5.3: the floating hint capsule is 40 popup px tall, radius 20 (the floatingfooter host is 600 × 40 and clips to its content box; 44 does not fit). (2) §5.5: the card sits at x 20, y 2 of the quad (Steam's inset: 0 0 0 20px stays); icon discs: dark glyph on green and orange, white on blue and red; incoming call: green fill with dark text; achievements: art as a rounded square; no time label. (3) §5.6: on the bar's tooltip host the 48 px capsule becomes the host's full 40 tp (= 48 main px at m .83), 18 Semibold; Steam closes the host at once (no 0.2 s exit there). (4) §8.1 / §8.4 rows "Toasts, hint, window-bar row, tooltips": tooltips are thick (PLAN §1.13), the others panel. (5) AT-18: use the C3a.md A16 + AT-18 row (inset, TwoLine, no outline, toastExitVR, G-TYPE 16.2 tp). C1a answer (2026-10-07, session 2): merged (1) §3.5.3 40 px / radius 20, (2) §5.5 inset, icon discs, dark call text, rounded-square achievements, no time label, (3) §5.6 the bar host's 40 tp capsule, no exit, (4) §8.1/§8.4 tooltips thick, others panel (also §3.5.2's frame-control tooltips), (5) AT-18 = your A16 + AT-18 row, owner C3a.
• REQ C3a->P4: --lgs-white-glow (0 0 18px 2px white .30, PLAN §1.4) measures +4.1 L in VP P-16's 8–16 px band on a white 56 pp bar disc (shots/p2_control-center_bar.png, twin A/B; scripts and numbers in C3a.md "Measurements"); P-16 / G-FOCUS need ≥ +20. Tested: 18/5/.42 → +10.6, 18/8/.45 → +17.6, 22/8/.55 → +23.1 (dim room +27.1), 16/10/.50 → +24.7. Please set the token to a value that passes (C3a's mockup shows 22/8/.55) and record it in tokens.md; C3b's --cc-glow mirrors it. P4 (2026-10-07): done, your 22/8/.55: --lgs-white-glow = 0 0 22px 8px white .55 with parts --lgs-white-glow-blur/-spread/-a so the bar can scale blur and spread by --lgs-m-bar (contracts/tokens.md §1.6); the --lgs-ill: white hook uses it.
• REQ C3a->P6: surfaces for C3a's quads. PLAN's P6 card lists notifications and volumelevel in theme/layers/00-base.json; today it defines main, bar, barpopup, frame.menu, floatingfooter only. C3a needs (M4): notifications (key valve.steam.gamepadui.notifications, panel, cover %{ShortTemplate}), volumelevel (panel, cover %{VolumeSliderLabel>VolumePopin}, capsule) and tooltip (prefix valve.steam.gamepadui.tooltip., thick, cover %{PopupBody>Tooltip}, capsule). Please add them to 00-base.json, or answer that C3a should define them in theme/layers/30-bar.json (C3a will also declare owns: ["bar"] there for the three-shape bar cover). P6 (2026-10-07): done in 00-base.json: notifications (key, panel, cover %{ShortTemplate} with all), volumelevel (key valve.steam.gamepadui.volumelevel, panel, %{VolumeSliderLabel>VolumePopin}, capsule), tooltip (prefix valve.steam.gamepadui.tooltip., thick, %{PopupBody>Tooltip}, capsule). Each carries the new surface field "flag": "wp.c3a" (contract reporter.md §3.1): reported only while your package flag is on, so RP-1 and native sessions without C3a are unchanged. Define the bar's three shapes in 30-bar.json with owns: ["bar"].
• REQ C3a->P10: glass.py cmp for popup quads. C3a's mockups draw quads at --pop-scale (bar and bar popups ×1.2, toasts ×1.107, HUD ×1.93) with no mockOrigin window. Please let <PKG>-cmp.json give a mockup scale and origin per mapping (or per file), e.g. {"mockScale": 1.2, "mockOrigin": [x, y]}, so mockup rects in view px compare with live surface px. The bar mockup repeats data-ids in six rows; --rects keeps the first (row A), which is fine if documented.
  • P10 (2026-10-07 06:00): done. glass.py cmp accepts {"mockups": {"<stem>": {surface, route, pre, mockOrigin, mockScale, map}}}, chosen by --name or the mockup's file stem; top-level fields are defaults; a map value may be {sel, surface, mockOrigin, mockScale}; selectors take @text=, @last, @nth=N. A repeated data-id keeps its first occurrence. contracts/lab.md §3.
• REQ C3a->P10: G-SIZE on bar lists Steam's pill glyphs (%{QuickAccessButton} %{PopupBody>StatusItem}: headset battery, volume, Wi-Fi, the bell) as targets (P-80 18 x 18, P-08). They are Panel Focusable by class but focusable: false in Steam, and a click bubbles to the pill (docs/inventory/bar.md §1.2); stock shows the same findings (gates bar --only size --stock, 2026-10-07 09:57). The pill is one target (CC §3.1, 232 x 80 live). Please add them to lab/exemptions.json (e.g. an E-BAR entry judged on the closest %{QuickAccessButton}) or skip descendants of a target whose own focusable is false. C3a's T2 already tags the disc slots data-lgs-exempt="E-BAR".
  • P10 (2026-10-07 session 4): done, the second way, from Steam's own data: a Panel rendered Focusable whose Panel props say focusable: false and that has no activation handler of its own (read from its React fibers up to that Panel: onClick, onActivate, pointer/mouse/touch down/up, the gamepad button handlers; probe of the live pill: the glyphs carry only onContextMenu, the pill onClick + onActivate), inside another control, is part of that control's target: SIZE lists it as skipped: part of its host and judges the pill whole (it is no longer a container). Native buttons and anything with its own handler (a bell with its own onClick, if Steam ever gives it one) stay targets. No E-BAR entry needed. gates bar --only size --flags wp.c3a --mode laser (11:10): PASS, 0 findings, 5 exempt (your E-BAR slots), 3 glyphs part of the host; --stock (11:16): the same 3 glyphs part of the host, the pill passes; the 5 findings left are Steam's small bar buttons (48 px, stock only). contracts/lab.md §4 SIZE.
