Active implementation checkpoint — 19 September 2026

Exact upstream heads are WebScene 91fa294f5616f94ba5a24b3b08cdf7307166fc6e and AppScene fe14e7b775d347693d6526b7c4d49c0dca082e52; unchanged Code OSS is 645f29cc3176500b4b5762ba887cf2a7f0ffdf2c. Local vscode-demo is c543d2ca9ff97f3c9e256c5eda4193fad5b53c13 and remains intentionally unpushed with Actions disabled.

Merged Linux exact-device work remains complete through WebScene #654 and AppScene #270. Linux CLIPBOARD/PRIMARY and inbound/outbound Xdnd are merged through WebScene #658 and AppScene #280. CSS animation direction #659/#660 and fill modes #661/#662 are merged. The current-main native compiler failure exposed by #662 is tracked and fixed by #663/#664; generated selectors now preserve compiled namespace-aware compound and attribute data. #666/#667 binds the remaining native test consumer to the namespace-aware compiler API, and #668/#669 restores complete structured selector parity comparisons. #665/#670 implements demand-free animation pause/resume, and #671/#673 enforces parser package size with both ratio and absolute byte budgets, and #672/#678 implements bounded eight-track animation-list coordination; #674/#681 implements zero-time/count semantics, #679/#680/#682 updates the native stale-track contract for inactive authored list slots, and #675/#683 adds bounded translate/scale keyframe sampling and retained paint composition. #684/#685 refreshes the generated Code OSS ledger and exact property identity count exposed by the post-merge main jobs. #676/#686 adds bounded retained ::before/::after animation lifecycle, scoped paint, owner events, cleanup, and demand-free settled state. Full-V8 package portability epic #687 is implemented by #688/#691 for GCC, #689/#692 for MSVC enum/ABI boundaries, #690/#693 for bounded embedded source literals, #694/#695 for const cascade roots, and #696/#697 for native test syntax. #677/#698 adds bounded retained WAAPI with document/element caps, lifecycle settlement, and demand-free inactive states. #699/#700 restores the 384-byte native document footprint by moving WAAPI-only maps and event state behind one lazy auxiliary allocation. #476/#702 adds bounded asynchronous document fetch and stale-generation suppression for dynamically inserted CSS imports, complementing #480/#484 authored-import reflection. #701/#703 adds browser-shaped Worker options, inherited credential policy, final response/CORS enforcement, generation-safe failure, and bounded slot retirement. #704/#705 adds an optional bounded redirect ledger and per-hop Worker status/scheme/loop/downgrade/origin/CORS/credential checks. #706/#707 extracts bounded request-header ABI v5 onto current main; AppScene #281/#282 and vscode-demo #10 populate the ledger in their host providers.

One-agent mode is enforced. The sole implementation agent is implementing bounded interactive reportValidity feedback under #708; no other implementation agent is active. Static fill does not sustain frame demand, and new animation work must preserve that bound without per-frame cascade, selector, or visual-tree churn.

Consolidations remain open and unmerged: WebScene #76 at b1f4977691938e636c1e16ac1c2f37c4d2128f4c, AppScene #65 at 0c018306458050a66a19d2c84abd3cf65a20832c, and vscode-demo #1. WebScene #662 and #681 portable V8 contracts passed. Focused #682 native document and Linux SDK runs 35448768204 and 35448768281 passed; #683 portable V8 contracts passed. The failed #683 current-main generated-ledger/property-count gates are repaired by #684/#685, and Linux CI job 105914816775 passed. Full-V8 Linux/Windows RID portability repairs are merged through #691-#697; current-main CI/NuGet runs 35454910272 and 35454910266 are retained; superseded PR, previous-main, and consolidation runs were cancellation-requested. AppScene #282 current-main companion run 35454940645 passed.

Ordered next work: #708 interactive validity feedback, then current-main CI/package triage and the remaining focused CSS and acceptance backlog, then physical Linux pixels, synchronization/device-loss/resize/soak/performance, VM/computer-use, and unchanged Code OSS Release qualification. Rich clipboard MIME, MULTIPLE/SAVE_TARGETS, and the recorded desktop-service/cross-platform backlog remain open.

Problem and result

The namespace-aware selector model made compiled attributes structured values, but prepared stylesheet parity still compares their vectors and the type had no equality operator. The Linux native SDK therefore stopped at shared_styles.cpp after the prior compile repairs.

This adds value equality for every compiled attribute field and extends the parity helper to cover compound namespaces and pseudo compiled-validity metadata. Pointer identity remains excluded because generated sheets retain pseudo text and may intentionally use the fallback reconstruction path.

Performance

Value comparison is used by native parity/contract code. Runtime selector matching, cascade, layout, scene publication, and animation frames are unchanged.

Validation

• git diff --cached --check
• No local build/test under the current fast policy; focused native workflows exercise the exact parity consumer.

Closes #668
