Buttons that rest on surfaceElevated used surfaceHover for their hover
fill: a 6% white wash meant for rows that rest transparent. Over an
elevated button it lands DARKER than the rest fill — on a modal's dark
ground the Cancel/Save/footer buttons went near-black under the pointer.
QbzTheme gains surfaceElevatedHover (a lift of surfaceElevated, derived
so every palette has it), its ambient half-alpha twin, and the
elevatedFill / elevatedHoverFill pair an ambient-aware control paints.
Every site with the old pairing (65 across modals, toolbars, selects,
circle actions, chips and cards) now hovers to the lift.

Address the owner's kiosk feedback on top of the release hardening:
- Chrome: the back bar is a drag surface and shrank to 44px with one shared
button form for Back/Forward/Connect/Cast; Qobuz Connect and Cast are a
permanent cluster in the bar; the dead Share-logs button left the kiosk
Settings header.
- Transport bar: the hidden overflow menu is gone; Volume is always visible
with a vertical sheet, and Desktop mode has its own button.
- Now Playing: one centred transport row (New-bar order); lyrics are centred
(shared LyricsLinesView gains an opt-in centered, desktop default false).
- Local Library: the media funnel and an Open (ephemeral) entry point reach
the kiosk; Artists is its own multi-column round-card grid (kiosk-only, the
desktop LocalArtistsTab is untouched); the Artists drill-down query no
longer hangs off a stale derived guard.
- Search: the All-tab dashboard shelves render again — they were mounted in a
Loader Component that read the delegate id under reuse and bound an empty
model; they are direct children now.
- Album detail: icon actions the height of the quality badge plus play next /
later / queue, an inline floating quality badge, and zebra rows; both album
headers show a quality badge.
- Immersive: a quiet auto-hiding kiosk exit moved to the bottom, clear of the
window controls.
Regression coverage in scripts/test_qt_kiosk_feedback.mjs (wired into the
runtime gate). Verified on a private authenticated Xvfb; QML audits 6/6,
Node gate 5/5, release build 0 warnings.

Integrate the Kiosk profile hardening round: 12 dedicated Kiosk views plus
22 shared opt-in hosts, shared navigation history with Back/Forward, Albums
as the default library tab, native paged Local Library (artists/tracks),
lightweight MyQBZ grid and detail, Ephemeral lifecycle, bounded lists and
artwork sized to the physical frame, static skeletons, 64px transport bar,
Settings touch reflow and a persistent Immersive exit.
Desktop keeps its prior behavior: every shared component defaults to the
desktop path and only opts into Kiosk behavior through explicit properties
(origin-relative ScrollMemory, viewport-bounded artwork requests).
Regression coverage: kiosk navigation and artwork Node tests added to the
runtime gate, scroll-origin fixtures for fixed and grouped rows, i18n
strings for all eight locales.
Verified by 750 release tests, six QML audits, Kiosk smokes at 800x480 and
1280x800 and a Desktop A/B with seven pixel-identical captures.

Contract sections 4, 5, 6 and the QML half of 7.
ContentRouter.qml is the D3 extraction: ONE view-mount chain, shared by both
shells. The Slint kiosk's content block is a verbatim copy of AppShell's and
KioskShell.slint:10-17 names this extraction as the follow-up it was waiting
for. 23 desktop arms carried over with their comments, 8 kiosk overrides, and
the kiosk-only nowplaying route. AppShell's four viewLoader.item sites now go
through contentRouter.currentItem; a tree-wide grep confirmed no other
reference (LESSONS L4 -- grep, do not trust memory about "both places").
KioskShell.qml carries the back bar with the full search focus lifecycle, the
content-height arithmetic including the now-playing exception, the offline
gate, the forced small transport, the player-zone focus ring, the root key
handler and the 30ms initial focus grab. Two findings worth keeping:
- the NavRail tiles fire header-menu-navigate("favorites-tracks") in the
reference, which switches the view AND selects a landing tab; navigateTo
carries only the route, so the tiles reuse the port's existing pending-tab
handshake rather than landing on the wrong tab.
- the visualizer tile's action is a sanctioned no-op (R2). Wiring
QbzImmersive would be worse than nothing: `open` would go true over an
empty mount and the key guard would then reject every key against a
surface that renders nothing.
Three fractional font sizes had to be rounded. Qt's font.pixelSize is an INT
property, so the reference's 11.5px (NavRail.slint:47) and 12.5px
(KioskNowPlaying.slint:59,67) are not expressible; font.pointSize is the only
real-valued alternative and is DPI-relative, which would make those three
labels scale differently from every other in the tree.
The NavRail one was caught by the offscreen smoke run IN THE KIOSK PROFILE --
it made the whole rail unavailable, i.e. a kiosk with no footer. The build,
both QML audits and qmllint were all green while that was true, and the
desktop smoke was clean because it never mounts KioskShell. The other two
were still latent: KioskNowPlaying is not on the smoke's route.
Gate: build 9 warnings = baseline, 291 tests, both audits OK over 229 QML
files (+15), qmllint filtered = the same 20 pre-existing ArtistView lines and
nothing else, kiosk-profile offscreen smoke clean.
