🎨 QuizWizz design board — mess-archive authority

This is the standing design authority for the mined qwiz_my-mess/ archive. It records behavior and geometry worth reusing; it does not make the archive executable truth, grant a source-code license, or classify any bench work as released. The image census is 50 raster members: 44 inspected in the current image report plus six already-described members carried into this board (/tmp/mess-images-report.md:6-17). Every visual row cites the exact archive member it describes.

Current execution boundary: the 2026-09-01 drive accepted this board’s 50/50 image ledger and 8/8 historical-version preflight, then ran the exact eight S9 isolated WPQP URLs without changing the pinned archive roster. The 1.3.1 installed-clone packaging workaround and dirty/no-remote deviations remain recorded; deeper DEFERRED-S9-AUDIT analysis is open rather than implied complete. Evidence: the S9 polish-drive receipt.

Reuse vocabulary

welcome, dashbar, dashboard-settings, and list name the one primary QuizWizz surface for which a reference is useful. none means the artifact is context or an editor concept, not authority for one of those four surfaces. A reuse verdict adopts traits, not pixels or source files.

Adopted design contracts

The following three passages are adopted verbatim as design authority. They specify the intended rail, onboarding lifecycle, and geometry; they do not license or install archive code (qwiz_my-mess/02_DOCS/NOTES.md:1050-1079,1094-1104,1154-1186).

Slim statistics rail — verbatim qwiz_my-mess/02_DOCS/NOTES.md:1050-1079

1050| ## P0 — glued statistics rail
1051|
1052| * [ ] Build one shared 44–52px statistics rail beneath `#wpadminbar` on Qwizz-owned screens.
1053|
1054| * [ ] Keep it in normal document flow with `position: sticky`; never use a covering fixed overlay.
1055|
1056| * [ ] Use one continuous surface with dividers—not four bordered statistic cards.
1057|
1058| * [ ] Show operational metrics:
1059|
1060|   * Quizzes: total plus drafts/review items.
1061|   * Questions: usable plus invalid/review-required.
1062|   * Subjects: total plus empty/undersupplied pools.
1063|   * Coverage: usable language/category coverage.
1064|
1065| * [ ] Make each metric a real link to its exact filtered list.
1066|
1067| * [ ] On hover/focus, reveal a concise, noninteractive breakdown within 150ms; activation still navigates directly.
1068|
1069| * [ ] Give the breakdown an accessible description; do not place exclusive actions inside hover content.
1070|
1071| * [ ] Cache aggregates and invalidate them after quiz, question, term, settings or import mutations.
1072|
1073| * [ ] Preserve rail height during loading to prevent layout jumps.
1074|
1075| * [ ] Use correct 32px/46px WordPress toolbar offsets and `scroll-margin-top` for anchors.
1076|
1077| * [ ] At constrained width/zoom, make the rail static or horizontally scrollable rather than covering content.
1078|
1079| **Done when:** every metric reaches useful data in one click and automated bounding-box checks prove that no focusable content is obscured.

One-time welcome / Help lifecycle — verbatim qwiz_my-mess/02_DOCS/NOTES.md:1094-1104

1094| ## P0 — onboarding becomes Help
1095|
1096| * [ ] Replace the permanent Get Started page with a maximum three-step contextual checklist shown only while incomplete.
1097| * [ ] Recommended steps: create/import content, create a quiz, insert the Qwizz block.
1098| * [ ] Persist completion per user and allow dismissal without blocking work.
1099| * [ ] After completion, remove all Get Started navigation and dashboard bulk.
1100| * [ ] Convert it into a collapsed **Help** section at the bottom and a native WordPress Help tab.
1101| * [ ] Change the Plugins-row action from Get Started to Dashboard or Settings.
1102| * [ ] Allow setup guidance to be reopened/reset from Help.
1103|
1104| **Done when:** an established user sees no onboarding residue during normal work.

Geometry contract — verbatim qwiz_my-mess/02_DOCS/NOTES.md:1154-1186

1154| ## P0 — eliminate the visual/CSS failures
1155|
1156| * [ ] Mount custom UI under one `.qwizz-admin` root with screen modifiers.
1157|
1158| * [ ] Remove unscoped rules for `body`, `*`, `button`, `input`, `svg`, headings, `.wrap`, `.row`, `.bar`, native tables and Gutenberg components.
1159|
1160| * [ ] Never enqueue settings/list CSS on unrelated WordPress screens.
1161|
1162| * [ ] Use WordPress-native typography and scheme-aware colors.
1163|
1164| * [ ] Adopt one geometry contract:
1165|
1166|   * 1px borders only.
1167|   * One containment edge per meaningful region.
1168|   * No card inside a card.
1169|   * Ordinary groups use spacing or one divider.
1170|   * Selected state uses an inset ring/check without changing dimensions.
1171|   * No negative action offsets.
1172|   * No hover `translateY`.
1173|   * No clipped focus outlines.
1174|   * No `transition: all`.
1175|
1176| * [ ] Give flex/grid children `min-width: 0`; eliminate root horizontal scrolling.
1177|
1178| * [ ] Use logical properties for RTL.
1179|
1180| * [ ] Keep purple for primary/current/exceptional states; healthy toggles and every icon do not become purple.
1181|
1182| * [ ] Preserve the paper preview as a legitimate bordered artifact; do not frame it inside another decorative card.
1183|
1184| * [ ] Raise tiny metadata to WordPress-readable sizing and fix low-contrast secondary text.
1185|
1186| **Done when:** every Qwizz surface has at most one intentional boundary and unrelated WordPress screens have zero visual diffs.

Admin Lab: specification authority, not source

The Lab demonstrates one responsive WordPress-admin composition in which Welcome and dashboard share the opening viewport before the dashboard becomes sticky (qwiz_my-mess/08 TOOLS/qwizz-admin-lab/README.md:17-24). Its welcome anatomy is a wand mark, the “Qwizz is ready” eyebrow, a tight Make questions worth knowing. heading, a short subline, and Import / Build quiz / Settings actions (qwiz_my-mess/08 TOOLS/qwizz-admin-lab/index.html:111-123). Directly after that launcher, the prototype uses a joined four-resource metric grid and later a compact resource strip; their repeated resource links and common geometry are the behavior/specification reference for a shared dashbar DOM (qwiz_my-mess/08 TOOLS/qwizz-admin-lab/index.html:125-148,162-167; qwiz_my-mess/08 TOOLS/qwizz-admin-lab/assets/admin-lab.css:517-530,692-733). The README itself calls the Lab disposable (qwiz_my-mess/08 TOOLS/qwizz-admin-lab/README.md:50-52).

License boundary, verbatim (qwiz_my-mess/08 TOOLS/qwizz-admin-lab/README.md:46-49):

“The original project code is unlicensed; no public reuse license has been selected. Embedded icon work retains its upstream licenses in THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md.”

Mine behavior, composition, and specification only. Never copy Admin Lab code or files (qwiz_my-mess/08 TOOLS/qwizz-admin-lab/README.md:46-52).

Recovery boundary: archive 1.10.0 is not the live tree

Verbatim recovery-plan excerpt (qwiz_my-mess/Z_harvest/RECOVERY-PLAN.md:15-26):

15| Both the archive and the live site report `1.10.0`, but they differ:
16|
17| | Asset | Archive | Live |
18| |---|---|---|
19| | `assets/js/qwizz-admin-settings.js` | 47,344 B | 66,288 B |
20| | `assets/js/qwizz-player.js` | 32,243 B | 40,139 B |
21| | `assets/js/qwizz-player.css` | 13,511 B | 14,943 B |
22| | `qwizz-admin-dashboard.js`, `qwizz-admin-starter.js`, `qwizz-effect-state.js`, `css/print.css`, `css/qwizz-admin.css` | present | HTTP 404 |
23|
24| Everything in `_harvest/versions/` and `_harvest/flow/` therefore describes
25| undeployed code. `_harvest/flow-live/` re-derives the client-side part from the
26| mirrored live bundles in `/tmp/qwlive/`.

Boundary: the archive is design/history authority only. Matching 1.10.0 labels do not establish byte identity, and archive material must never overwrite or be used to assert live-tree truth (qwiz_my-mess/Z_harvest/RECOVERY-PLAN.md:15-26).

HTML provenance and deduplication map

Correction: the assumed three exact six-file clusters are refuted

The digest inventory establishes one exact six-file bundle at two locations, a top-level branch matching five of those six bytes, and a distinct six-file qwizz-files_claude variant. The earlier assumption that three named directories were exact six-file copies is false (/tmp/mess-miner-report.md:14-20; digest receipt /tmp/qwmess-sha256-inventory.txt:4-17,7977-7979,8008-8025).

Exact six-file bundle: two locations

Each row is one byte-identical pair between qwiz_my-mess/06_HTML/2026-07-14 qwizz/html/ and qwiz_my-mess/06_HTML/qw-artifacts/ (/tmp/mess-miner-report.md:22-31).

Top-level five-of-six branch

The top-level qwiz_my-mess/06_HTML/ branch matches the canonical bytes for builder, progressive, player, PDF, and admin at quiz-builder-redesign.html, quizwizz-progressive.html, quizwizz-player.html, quizwizz-pdf-light.html, and qwizz-admin.html. Its fine-tune-named member is not the sixth canonical byte: qwiz_my-mess/06_HTML/qwizz_design-inspiration_finetune.html is SHA effd8cb08fdc1ca7e6dc006f83ddbc4ca3ce96f35ef9407907f5de9d6f4fcfb2, not canonical 01c1b089… (/tmp/mess-miner-report.md:33; /tmp/qwmess-sha256-inventory.txt:8,10-16).

Distinct qwizz-files_claude six-file variant

These six members have the same names and listing sizes as the canonical bundle, but five are different bytes and the fine-tune member follows the separate effd8cb0… lineage (/tmp/mess-miner-report.md:35-46).

• The progressive-builder lineage stages categories → difficulty → count/title → actions/More options, then adds icon-first startup, 5/10/20 presets, a pool counter, smart title, nested PDF options, a pre-print editor, keyboard states, and reduced-motion handling (qwiz_my-mess/06_HTML/2026-07-14 qwizz/UX-perfection-audit.md:1043-1073). The 6a6b74c8… artifact is the lineage reference; the same-named f4003e53… Claude variant is not that byte lineage (/tmp/mess-miner-report.md:54-57).
• The fine-tune/player/PDF lineage specifies editable paper, drag/reorder, replace/delete/undo, live count/page estimate, a theme-token player, and a real print template as three distinct mockups (qwiz_my-mess/06_HTML/2026-07-14 qwizz/UX-perfection-audit.md:1574-1618). This is behavior/provenance evidence, not a reuse license (/tmp/mess-miner-report.md:57).

S8 structural reference and fake-Print boundary

Nominate qwiz_my-mess/06_HTML/quizwizz-player.html as the S8 structural reference: it carries a self-contained player frame at :150-153, begins an inline const QUIZ = { … } payload at :155-171, and renders questions/results from that payload at :184-205 (qwiz_my-mess/06_HTML/quizwizz-player.html:150-205). Its Print control is not behavior authority. The stub is verbatim:

else if(act==='print'){ b.textContent='Opening print…'; setTimeout(()=>b.innerHTML='🖨 Print results',900); /* plugin: window.print() on a results sheet */ }

— qwiz_my-mess/06_HTML/quizwizz-player.html:275

S8 may reuse the payload-plus-frame structure, but must implement real self-contained offline trivia behavior rather than the fake Print branch (qwiz_my-mess/06_HTML/quizwizz-player.html:150-275).

Macarena search verdict

Negative. The full extraction was searched recursively and case-insensitively for Macarena across every text-readable file under /tmp/qwmess-full, then searched again under /tmp/qwmess-full/qwiz_my-mess with an explicit per-letter case-insensitive pattern. Both searches returned no matches. This is extraction-wide text scope, not a filename or selected-member search; binary/image bytes were not treated as text (/tmp/mess-miner-report.md:10-12).

GUINEA-PIG PREFLIGHT — frozen S9 gate

The selected releases are the exact eight entries in /tmp/qwmess-preflight/MANIFEST.txt:1-8: the 1.3.1 external-audit ZIP is selected instead of the duplicate audit-core tar, and the 1.7.0 release ZIP is selected instead of the development-source ZIP (/tmp/mess-miner-report.md:193-203). In the verbatim table below, every selected member path is relative to the archive prefix qwiz_my-mess/; the frozen source is /tmp/mess-miner-report.md:205-214.

Gate decision: 8/8 PASS, with no FAIL rows. S9 may proceed with the exact eight-site topology. The topology must never be silently reduced. This preflight does not authorize network activation or co-activation, and S9 must retain the selected archive digests and per-site activation discipline (/tmp/mess-miner-report.md:222-224).
