+## 2026-07-08 — QA sweep: clean tree, no actionable drift (iteration #70)
+- **Task:** QA sweep — headless-actionable queue is empty (NEXT is all
+  `[human]`/`[blocked:hw]`/V3-visual: #29 hw, #28 icon-weight [human]+visual,
+  #14 "confirm first run" not session-confirmable, #20 [human], #33 V3-visual
+  ~10 authored rasi, #41 needs hw class checks).
+- **Did:** ran the full scripted suite. `flake check --no-build` green; built
+  + ran `option-docs` (README tables track the live nomarchy.* surface, no
+  drift) and `theme-contrast` (21 palettes, all pairings pass);
+  `audit-theme-design.py` shows only pre-curated/identity findings (vanta/
+  white hueless, inherent CVD collapse, ANSI conventions, miasma earthy bad).
+  Template drift check: services list matches surface exactly; opt-in
+  commented examples (nightlight/monitors/displayProfiles) all reference real
+  options. No churn manufactured (LOOP §1).
+- **Verified:** V0 (flake check) + built option-docs & theme-contrast checks.
+- **Pending:** nothing. Note: `.claude/settings.json` deletion was already in
+  the tree at session start — not mine, left untouched (LOOP §0.2); this
+  commit is pathspec-scoped to agent/JOURNAL.md.
+- **Next suggestion:** await Bernardo on #29/#33 or the #28 icon-weight call;
+  otherwise #33 rofi scrollbar wants a themed (non-headless) session.

 ## 2026-07-08 — Color-only status sweep + inhibited-bell fix (iteration #69)
 - **Task:** BACKLOG #28 slice — the audit's systemic "status is never
   color-only" finding (accessibility): sweep the remaining Waybar status
