- Pinned dependency
- Native HTML/CSS/JavaScript and bundled local OFL fonts
- Checks completed
- Seven generator tests and six normal/edge Chromium cases at 1440, 390 and 320 px: date sorting and geometry, equal-date separation, zoom/keyboard controls, combined filters, empty/reset states, complete archive, source retention, no page overflow or external requests.
Normal and boundary checks, independent original-brief workflow and full-content visual review completed.
Emulated Chromium viewports; physical devices, automatic agent discovery and non-Latin typography require separate review.
From a good brief to a better result.
