 `.agents/scripts/visual-regression.mjs` runs. It used to throw for everyone,
 which is why no task in this plan ever produced the captures its brief asked
 for.

+## Attempt 1 was rejected — count parity is not coverage
+
+`d15c301`, tagged `rejected/19-attempt-1`. It did good work: `verify.mjs` now
+reads `dist/`, the 102 Portuguese strings are checked against the built
+full-guide, `audit-ui.mjs` gained per-page CSS-variable resolution and a
+built-CSS baseline (`.agents/snapshots/built-css-values.json`). Keep all of
+that.
+
+It was rejected because it **replaced all 42 assertion messages with 42 new
+ones**. Not one of the originals survives. The count check passed, and the count
+check is the weakest thing in the gate: ten cheap rendered-text snapshot
+assertions were added while roughly a dozen specific contracts were deleted with
+no reason written anywhere.
+
+Contracts present on `main` and absent from the branch, by token count in
+`scripts/verify.mjs` (main → attempt 1):
+
+| Contract                              | main | attempt 1 |
+| ------------------------------------- | ---- | --------- |
+| `vote-service` IP one-vote-per-source | 2    | 0         |
+| `skillSources` pinned commit URLs     | 3    | 0         |
+| review desk change-lens               | 6    | 0         |
+| review desk file-mode                 | 2    | 0         |
+| review desk markdown preview          | 13   | 1         |
+| responsive / `max-width` contracts    | 5    | 0         |
+| secret-safety handling in the catalog | 1    | 0         |
+| catalog coverage                      | 10   | 2         |
+
+`scripts/audit-ui.mjs` also went from 6 assertions to 5.
+
+A rendered-text snapshot does not replace these. "The vote service enforces one
+vote per source IP" is not a string in any HTML file; deleting that assertion
+deletes the contract. Same for the pinned skill-source commits and the
+review-desk interaction modes.
+
+### What attempt 2 must produce
+
+1. **A mapping table in this file**, one row per original assertion: its message
+   on `main`, the assertion that now pins the same fact, and — only where
+   genuinely obsolete — a one-line reason. Build it from
+   `git show rejected/19-attempt-1^:scripts/verify.mjs | grep -oP 'throw new Error\(\s*\K.*'`
+   so no row is missed. 42 rows, no gaps.
+2. **Every fact still pinned.** Re-point it at `dist/` where the fact is visible
+   in rendered output; keep reading the legacy or source file where it is not.
+   `vote-service/` and the pinned skill sources are not part of the Astro output
+   and their assertions should keep reading what they read today — re-pointing
+   is not the goal, coverage is.
+3. **Raise the baseline.** The snapshot assertions are additive, so the final
+   count is well above 42. Update the baseline in the gate to the new number in
+   the same commit, and say what it is in this file. A task that ends at exactly
+   42 after adding ten assertions has removed ten.
+4. Keep `audit-ui.mjs` at 6 or more.
+
+Start from `rejected/19-attempt-1` rather than from scratch — the `dist/`
+re-point and the Portuguese coverage check are worth keeping.
