The status bar's transfers summary is a text toggle, but 7.css painted it as
a full Aero push button — a stray bordered slab sitting in the status line.
Marked it w7-flat, the per-button escape hatch that existed for exactly this
and had never been used.
It did not work, for a reason worth keeping: 7.css restates border-color at
`.win7 button:not(:disabled):not(:hover)` = (0,3,1), which outranks
`.win7 .w7-flat` = (0,2,0). The .w7-toolbar arm of the same rule only ever
won that fight by tying on specificity and landing later in the same layer —
an accident w7-flat did not share. Split the rule: `background:
revert-layer` stays in `skin` (it must land on `utilities`), and the
paint-suppression literals move to `skinfix`, where layer order settles it
instead of a specificity arms race.
Docs updated in the same change per the working agreement — architecture.md
gains the tabs contract, the w7-flat/w7-toolbar split and the frame
transparency invariant; gotchas.md gains a win7-skin section (unlayered beats
every layer, the (0,3,1) border-color restatement, overflow-x clipping the
y-axis, 7.css's hardcoded light literals, exact selectors) plus the two
Angular traps this round hit: a duplicate `class` attribute is silently
dropped, and a backtick inside a component template's HTML comment terminates
the TS template literal.
Also recorded the verification trap that cost three wrong readings today:
`bun run start` leaves the old instance running and `import -window` grabs
the OLDEST match, so screenshots silently come from a stale build — this is
what made the w7-flat fix above look like a no-op when it was already
correct. Kill and count instances before capturing. And `pkill -f
'electrobun dev'` matches the shell running it and kills your own command.
