 | no text overlaps (`overlap-check.mjs`) | A served page, or a miner or wallet screen (behind `IGNEUM_OVERLAP_APPS=1`), where a visible run of text is covered by another element (a pill over a caption, a label over a value, a card over its neighbour, text under the header at rest), clipped by an overflow-hidden ancestor, or past the viewport; a page that scrolls sideways. Five widths, light and dark, the home hero at rest and at each step. A fixture with one deliberate overlap of each kind must be flagged first (`--self-test`). Needs a headless Chromium: CI installs Playwright; the Mac ships the pages to build-2 (`infra/build-server/overlap-browser.sh`). | 7 October 2026: the hero's step pill sat on the caption's second line ("Two thirds of the weight sign. The checkpoint locks.") at every desktop width, found by the project lead on the live site |
 
 | kill by exact command or pid file (owed as a check) | 6 October 2026, 21:09Z: a Mac-side `pkill -f <log file name>` matched nothing (the log name was a redirect, not part of the command line), the roll-everything script lived on and wiped a box it had been told to hold. Rule: a job is stopped by its pid file (`tools/fleet/fleet-bg.sh start|stop <name>`) or by a pattern anchored on its exact command line (`^python3 -u /root/fleet/in/box-prover.py`), never by a word that may or may not appear in it.

+## No inline deletion in a shell string (7 October 2026)
+
+The desktop app asks the founder to approve any shell command that carries `rm` inside an inline `bash -c '...'` or `sh -c '...'` string ("runs rm and could not be checked"). Rule for every lane: never an inline `rm`, `rm -rf`, `find ... -delete` or a redirect-truncate inside a `bash -c` / `sh -c` string. Put the script in a file under `tools/` (or the lane's scratch directory) and run it by path; on the boxes, do deletions through the lease or job tooling, which the checker reads as a plain command. `tools/ci/inline-rm-check.sh` greps every tracked script for the shape (self-test first, known-failed shapes named) and runs in the gate.
