CODE-REVIEW-399-r1 High: the test named after AC5 called
installsPythonDeps on string literals and never executed the directory
walk it was supposed to protect. The reviewer showed what that costs:
restoring the old hardcoded pair of real names and dropping a third
workflow with unpinned installs into .github/workflows left all ten
checks green — the exact scenario AC5 describes went undetected.
The walk is now a function taking the directory, so the test can run it
for real: it builds a temporary directory with three files (a pinned
installer, a workflow that installs nothing, and a rogue one) and
asserts on what the scanner returns. Reverting the walk to a list of two
real names now reddens this test, verified by hand.
The mutant is sharpened accordingly: it substitutes the two-name list
instead of a one-name list. The old form failed on an unrelated
assertion about directory size, so it proved nothing about the scan
itself — while the two-name form is indistinguishable from correct code
on today's tree, which is what makes it the likely regression.

Three claims a green backend used to make, each slightly wider than the
truth — and #392 happened in exactly that gap.
The frontend pin said 20260826.1 next to homeassistant==2026.8.3, whose
package_constraints.txt requires 20260729.7: a combination that exists
in no HA release. It was never derived from anything — someone once
picked it. It is now taken from the constraints, the source is named in
the file, and a test holds both numbers together so raising HA cannot
quietly desync them.
ruff's include declared three trees while CI linted one. Narrowed the
declaration rather than widening CI: the debt in scripts/ and
tests_backend/ (56 findings, mostly E402/I001, plus 7 B023 and 5 B017)
has its own cost and its own decisions, and belongs in its own task, not
in a visibility fix. test/lint-scope.test.mjs now compares the two, so
they can only move together.
The pin check skipped a workflow when it found neither the package name
nor the requirements path — and both vanish together the moment someone
returns to Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable, i.e. the gate switched itself off
under precisely the change it exists to catch. It now walks the whole
.github/workflows directory and decides per file by a positive sign: if
a file installs python packages, it must install them from the pins
file. Verified by dropping a rogue workflow into the directory — it
reddens without touching any list.
Three mutants registered and each run by hand.

The guard introduced by #394 matched the literal
sys.modules['custom_components... and therefore never looked at
pure_imports.py, which writes through a variable — the third instance of
the #389 class walked straight past the check created for it.
The guard now inspects the write itself and decides by the key: a whole
literal or the literal head of an f-string is safe unless it starts with
custom_components (that is how tests register homeassistant.*, hp_pure.*
and houseplan.trails); anything else — a variable, a concatenation,
setdefault/update — counts as a violation whenever the file is able to
name the package at all, i.e. contains a custom_components. literal. A
file that never names the package cannot poison it through a variable,
so restoring a snapshot stays legal.
load_pure now removes what it registered. Removing its own name is not
enough: relative imports pull neighbours in, so junction_limits leaves
wall_segment_model and coordinate_canonicalization behind. It removes
the whole custom_components difference accumulated during exec_module,
in a finally, and a repeated call still works.
pure_imports.py is a named exemption of the static guard precisely
because that guard cannot see the cleanup — so the cleanup is proven by
an executable test instead, and the mutant pure-imports-stops-cleaning
reddens it. Both mutants were run by hand.

CODE-REVIEW-397-r1 Medium: AC3 named the second reader of the same
value — _loadFromServer via _adoptStructuralResponses — and nothing
exercised it. Adding the scenario turned out to be less mechanical than
it looked, and both obstacles are worth recording:
The reconnect path reads BOTH answers, and a differing config clears the
history for its own reason (configChanged). The fake server now echoes
the config the card already holds, so the check answers the layout
question it claims to answer.
The first version of the probe used a round 0.42, which canonicalization
leaves untouched — the check passed with and without the fix, i.e. for
the wrong reason. The probe now starts from a non-canonical position
(0.024999999999999942, which snaps to 0.025), and the scenario runs
immediately after the write, before any reload can align the two sides.
Verified by removing the fix: five checks red, now including
reconnectKeepsHistory and deleteEchoKeepsHistory. Both were green in the
weaker version — which is exactly what the reviewer's Medium was about.

B3: _persistDevicePlacement sent canonicalizePosition(...) to the server
and left the raw value in _layout, then recorded the fingerprint over
that raw snapshot. Canonicalization is not identity — it snaps to the
lattice — so 39 of 115 pixel-derived coordinates differ, and the next
_reloadLayoutOnly or _adoptStructuralResponses saw its own write as a
remote edit: history cleared, _layout replaced. The old _persistLayout
wrote the canonical value back; the per-device path introduced by #74
lost that line.
M1: the smoke that was supposed to prove AC10 assigned
serverLayout = structuredClone(c._layout) right before the reload —
erasing by hand the very divergence it existed to catch, so it could not
fail. The fake WS already stores what went over the wire; the
assignment is gone and the check now reddens on the unfixed code
(verified: three checks red without the fix, including this one).
Also proven, because the fix touches their neighbourhood: the echo of a
DELETE keeps the history (the branch removes a key rather than replacing
a value), and an in-flight write still wins the merge against a server
answer holding the old position.
One existing assertion was loosened deliberately: undo now restores a
position that may differ from the raw one by the lattice snap (<1e-9 of
the plan). That is the point of the fix — local and server agree — so the
equality is stated to that precision, with the snap size pinned
separately so a real drift would still fail.

Three findings of the v1.70.0-beta.1 audit, all on the transition path
added by #82, all of the same shape — the new path did not inherit a
property the old one had.
B1: persisting the zoom moved into _settleCameraTransition only, and a
cancellation never settles. Touching the plan mid-flight — the literal
scenario of the issue — froze the shown frame and threw it away; before
which kind it is: the user one (_stagePointerDown) persists the frame
that stays on screen, the eleven structural ones keep writing nothing.
The distinction is now also written down in spec #82 §13, which had one
line for both.
B2: the anchor was read from the presented (lagging) frame while the
zoom accumulated from the target, so a six-notch trackpad series walked
the point under the cursor 17 px away — against §10's own promise. Both
now come from the same state. Spec §10 said to use the presented frame
and to keep the anchor within 0.5 px; those two are incompatible, and
the paragraph is corrected rather than left as a trap.
M2: the feather freeze keyed on the two gesture flags, which an
animated transition does not set, so every tween frame rebuilt the blur
region. It keys on 'the camera is still' now.
Guards: unit tests pin the anchor at 1e-9 across 8/16/33 ms series and
prove zoom accumulation is untouched; the smoke checks the shown zoom is
the stored one, that a structural cancellation stores nothing, and that
the anchor holds; three mutants (cancel-loses-zoom, anchor-from-
presented, feather-thaws) were run by hand and each reddens.
