+## 2026-07-05 — Look & Feel menu category (iteration #40, item 19)
+- **Task:** BACKLOG NEXT#19 — its ≥3-entries gate is met (Theme, Next
+ wallpaper, Night light). Item deleted.
+- **Did:** root's Theme row → "Look & Feel" (pango-escaped —
+ -markup-rows menus treat & as an entity; matched on *Look*); new
+ lookfeel mode: Theme (SUPER+T hint), Next wallpaper (SUPER+SHIFT+T
+ hint via the new generalized hintForAction), Night light row moved
+ from System (System thins by one). Root stays six. menuHint is now
+ sugar over hintForAction.
+- **Verified:** V0; V1 — menu bash -n, lookfeel mode + escaped label
+ + night light relocated (4 occurrences, all in lookfeel/nightlight
+ paths); VISUAL — tokyo-night capture: root renders "Look & Feel"
+ correctly with six rows and intact hints. Submenu flow → V3
+ queued.
+- **Pending:** V3. NEXT now: 28 (Bernardo-gated) · 14 (Monday watch)
+ · 18 [big, Decision-gated] · 20 [human] — the LATER tier or QA
+ sweeps are next for the loop.
