 re-sweeping would re-catch the same non-defect (no-progress guard).

+## PROOF the "false-positive" is real (closing the contrarian gap)
+Empirically drove **☰ → Controls** in real Chrome:
+- `#window-bar` → `display:flex` (un-stowed into a movable modal, class `qh-pane-host`)
+- `#sort-select` → 114×26 rect, **`selectOption('newest')` OK ✅**
+- `#density-range` → reachable + settable ✅
+- **0 console errors** throughout.
+Conclusion: sort + density are present, reachable, and functional — the clickthrough failures were
+progressive-disclosure blindness, NOT broken controls. The standing sort+density rule is met in substance.
