Home screen: operator real-finger report (task 8.1)

2026-10-08, America/Chicago. Evidence class: operator real-finger report on the physical AMOLED, with shell log corroboration. There is no camera capture: the operator asked for their report to stand in its place (“don’t worry about capture just trust me”).

Installed system: mainline 7.3.0-rc5 coherent shell kp6ldmdx…, shell executable q2rxmp98…-k230-shell-rust (docs/evidence/mainline-sd-throughput/postboot.json).

Operator reports:

• “i can swipe between home pages and tap the icons” (Home page swipe, icon taps).
• After being asked to long-press and pin, unpin and rearrange an icon, tap a dock icon, and check launch-vs-focus (launch a closed app, return Home, tap it again): “worked.”
• On the dark/light theme repeat: “don’t bother with the other theme it’s fine”. The report therefore covers one theme only (the active theme at the time).

Shell log (journalctl -u shell-ui) during the session showed app-launch-requested → app-launch-process-exited (a deliberate failing test entry, removed afterwards), then app-launch-focused at 16:37:28 and 16:37:40. Those two lines are the second-tap focus of an already running app.

Not covered: a second theme, and the right-click/New Window acceptance (task 11.4, HDMI and mouse, scheduled separately).
