@@ -15,7 +15,7 @@ The browser side of the patched `ds-bot` core (`core/`): sources in `core/src/cl
 
 - The chat's `ask_user` card (`questions.js`) answers where it is drawn: one option answers a single-select card at once, a multi-select card toggles its rows and **Submit** sends the set, and the × dismisses it; the same card waits in the dock above the composer when its call is not on screen. In a window that holds the team read-only the card keeps the question, its rows and the host's sentence (`roster.readOnly`, read through `lockedWindow` from `schedules.js`) and draws none of those controls — no option button, **Submit**, **Skip**, × or own-answer field, and no form to submit. Each of them reached a write the host refuses (`answer-question`, `dismiss-question`), and the refusal was invisible: a pressed answer marked the card answered and the next poll said nothing, while the × hid the card until that poll brought it back. Tests: `core/test/questions-readonly.test.js`.
 - A shared room's overview (`details-drawer.js` `SharedRoomApprovals`) draws its **Waiting for your approval** card in a read-only window (`lockedWindow`, `schedules.js`) with no **Approve**/**Reject**: a decision is `social/decide-approval`, a write the host refuses there, so the two buttons could only earn `bot/read-only` after the click. The card keeps its headline, its count and each request's own text, and carries the host's own sentence in one `role="status"` line (`bt-hint bt-read-only`), the shape the drawer's own Settings view already used. Since #2409 each row also carries the wait's own age beside its text (` · 12 min`, `relativeShort()`), parsed from the plugin view's `createdAt` and left off when that field is absent, so two requests of different ages read apart. A decision the host still refuses — a writable window, or a room with several members answering `bot/blocked-shared` — writes that reason on the card in one `role="alert"` line (`bt-error`) instead of vanishing, which is what the component's `try`/`finally` with no `catch` did (#2381). Tests: `core/test/room-approvals-readonly.test.js`, `core/test/approval-age.test.js`.
-- Read-only banner: when another dsh holds the team (`roster.readOnly` a non-empty string), the sidebar draws the host's own sentence and, beside it, one **Reload** control in both shapes (wide and rail; the control stays outside the `role="status"` line so a live region remains text). It calls `actions.reloadTeam`, which re-reads the whole team (`state` without `since`, see `stateRequest` / `stateAnswerIsStale` in `sources.js`) so the banner and every refused control clear once the other holder let go, without a page reload that would drop what is in the composer. Tests: `core/test/sidebar-readonly-reload.test.js`, `core/test/client-reload-state.test.js`.
+- Read-only banner: when another dsh holds the team (`roster.readOnly` a non-empty string), the sidebar draws the host's own sentence and, beside it, one **Reload** control in both shapes (wide and rail; the control stays outside the `role="status"` line so a live region remains text). It calls `actions.reloadTeam`, which re-reads the whole team (`state` without `since`, see `stateRequest` / `stateAnswerIsStale` in `sources.js`) so the banner and every refused control clear once the other holder let go, without a page reload that would drop what is in the composer. Tests: `core/test/sidebar-readonly-reload.test.js`, `core/test/client-reload-state.test.js`. Since #2502 that sentence and entry are one shared piece: `client/read-only.js` exports `readOnlyLine(h, roster, actions, { key, className, style, reload })` and `readOnlySaid`, where the first argument is the renderer `h` itself, passed by the caller so the new module never imports react and the generated bundle keeps its bindings, and the Settings header, the drawer's three hint sites (`details-drawer.js` Bot overview, Bot settings view and group overview), the Inbox dialog and the Memory panel draw them instead of their own copies. The sentence stays `bt-hint bt-read-only` under `role="status"`, the button sits outside that node, and a press runs the same `actions.reloadTeam` read with `reportError(error, 'reload')` on failure; one view draws at most one entry, and `reload: false` keeps a sentence without the control so a second hint can never grow a second button. A writable window, and a sentence of only whitespace, draw neither. Tests: `core/test/readonly-reload-lines.test.js`.
 - Chat context rows: a tool the plugin registers at install draws one `tool-addition` row, and `cells.js` keeps every name in `TEAM_TOOLS` out of the chat (`SILENT_REGISTRATION_TOOLS`, #1101) — the Project Assistant's `project_digest` joins them (#1712), so its 09:00 Session shows the digest, not its registration.
 - A Settings dialog takes focus when it opens (`useDialogFocus` in `core/src/client/overlay-hooks.js`; the `.bt-settings` dialog carries `tabIndex -1` and a ref) and gives it back to the still-connected opener when it closes; it is not a focus trap, so Tab can still leave the dialog for the page behind the scrim (#2251). It is drawn for `DIALOG_EXIT_MS` (160 ms) with `pointer-events: none` on the leaving layer, so the unmount restores focus only while the dialog still holds it (or nothing does) — a click on the page during that window keeps its focus (#2270).
 - Settings → Feedback's error list (`feedback.js`) still titles the block with the whole log (`Recent errors · 60`) but lists only the newest eight, so when the report holds more rows one `Show more` control (`aria-expanded`) sits under them and draws every loaded error, folding back to `Show less`; a report of eight or fewer draws no control (#2266).
