# PANDEMONIUM-24 /5x Verification & Repair Loop

Target: file:///Users/macstudio3/Projects/crazy-news-channel/index.html

| Sweep | Result | Caught | Fixed | Commit |
|-------|--------|--------|-------|--------|
| 1 | defect | Category buttons only recolored in place (Steve); logo should go home. (3x M1 HTTP FAIL = phantom: file:// has no HTTP layer) | category pages #/category/<key>, logo -> home | 458b2cc |
| 2 | clean | — | — | 40beaff (notes) |
| — | (Steve) | Breaking-news ticker too fast (~1,620 px/s) | constant ~55-70 px/s | 0466ef4 |
| 3 | defect (Cody) | Article back/Escape went Home, not its category; two home URLs; inert empty-state text | goBackToGrid derives from article's own category; goHome(); one-layer Escape; real link | b868846 |
| 4 | clean | — | — | — |
| 5 | defect (Cody) | New empty-state link still landed on "#/" | one delegated a[href="#/"] -> goHome() handler | 2472ae0 |

Final state: all navigation journeys verified in real Chrome (category click, back/forward, deep links, article back/Escape, second Escape, logo, category back link, empty-state link, keyboard), 390 / 1440 / reduced-motion, 0 console errors, no horizontal scroll.

Cody final verdict (on 2472ae0): **SHIP IT**.

Open, not mine to decide: another session added real Google News headlines + source links (d7c494a, f79b2f1), which conflicts with Steve's earlier "invented, not real" choice. Flagged to Steve, untouched.
