 ## Defect queue (from tick-1 audit sweep)
 - [x] **D1 · /samples dead form JS** — `Unexpected identifier 'll'`: unescaped apostrophe `'We\'ll'` collapsed in the res.send template literal → killed the sample-request submit handler (form did nothing). Fixed → `\\'` (matches working L19535). 10/10 scripts parse clean. **commit a805dc0** (tick 1).
 - [x] **D2 · PDP "pairs well with" CORS-blocked** — root cause: a same-origin proxy already existed (`/api/coordinates/pairs`, server.js:458) but the color-swatch→paint lookup at L14398 still hit the cross-origin `pairs.designerwallcoverings.com/api/pairs` DIRECTLY. Upstream only whitelists `https://wallco.ai` (works on prod, breaks on localhost/previews — brittle). Fix: point L14398 at the existing same-origin proxy. Verified (Playwright): 0 CORS errors, 0 direct cross-origin calls, 1 proxy call → 200. **commit (tick 2).**
-- [ ] **D3 · front page `localhost:9935/widget.js` ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED** — a widget `<script>` points at a dead local port. Check what URL prod emits; if it's a dev leftover / dead service, guard or remove. (Possibly the retired Big-Red widget pattern — see [[reference_dw_bigred_widget_fleet_removal]].)
+- [x] **D3 · front page `localhost:9935/widget.js` ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED** — it WAS the Big-Red widget (server.js:7022-7025, `BIG_RED_URL || 'http://localhost:9935'`). Per the fleet-wide removal decision ([[reference_dw_bigred_widget_fleet_removal]]) removed the block from the front page (single self-contained block on wallco.ai — no CTA/onclick hook to null-throw). Verified (Playwright): 0 requests to 9935/widget.js, 0 failed requests, 0 page errors. **commit (tick 3).**
 - [ ] **D4 · /studio serves the /designs page** — `/studio` returns title "All Designs" + byte-identical body (5490) to `/designs`, not the studio composer. Confirm whether that's an intentional alias/redirect or a routing regression; the YOLO_BACKLOG R0a–R0d studio payoff work implies /studio should be its own surface.
 - [ ] **D5 · /moodboard near-empty (bodyLen 379)** — likely just needs pinned data, but confirm it's not a broken render. Low priority.
