 from acting before reading what was already written down.
 
+**STATUS 2026-07-29 evening — §8 is closed, §7's grip item is answered.**
+
+- **§8 row 1.** The squeekboard prefix fix is committed and on `Pixel3Arch/main`
+  (`87efdd0`); the topic branch is gone. It triggered **no CI** — `kernel.yml` is
+  that repo's only workflow and it fires on `kernel/**` alone, so nothing in the
+  pipeline builds `pkgs/**`. The phone has the good package by hand
+  (`1.43.1-5`, 0 files under `/usr/local`), and **the fixed build carries the
+  same version string as the broken one**, so no other device can be moved onto
+  it by `pacman`. Bumping to `-6` collides with the "never exceed extra's
+  pkgrel" rule — that tension is TASK-25/27's to settle, not a detail.
+- **§8 row 2.** The phone-only shell work is in git (souveraine `5965c64`).
+  There were **five** files, not two: the two named here plus
+  `ii/onScreenKeyboard/OnScreenKeyboard.qml` and `ii/dock/{DockAppButton,
+  DockStack}.qml`. `find ~/souveraine-surfaces/quickshell -newer
+  .../DEPLOYED-REVISION` is how to find them next time.
+  **A landmine came with them:** `AppSearch.resolveEntry`, which the two dock
+  files call, had been added to the phone's *live* `~/.config/quickshell/ii/`
+  — a directory `deploy.sh` rsyncs FROM `ii-base/` on every run. The next
+  deploy would have deleted the function and left both callers pointing at
+  nothing. It is in `ii-base/` now, on the laptop and the phone.
+- **§8 row 3.** archdev's `~/Projects/souveraine` was **repaired, not
+  re-cloned** — its `.git` had no `objects/pack/` and invalid sha1 on refs.
+  Re-cloning would have destroyed ~225 files: `.gitignore` carries a bare
+  `docs/` under "never committed to any remote", so souveraine's design corpus
+  is untracked *by design* and exists only on archdev. Verified 0 tracked
+  content was unique before touching it.
+- **§7 grip.** Casey was right and this section was written not knowing:
+  grip is live. `LoadNanoappResponse success=true`, the six chassis gauges
+  leaving their ~0.24–0.36 baseline for 2502/2990 against a 2500 floor, with a
+  pocket/proximity veto. §7's own instinct was correct — it reports to
+  **sessiond**, not the shell gesture IPC.
+
+Still open from §7: word completion (needs an IME context; `kitty.conf` has
+`wayland_enable_ime no`), the unaccounted-for "Kill waydroid" dial entry, and
+the untappable stevia layout menu.
