  "steps": [
    "From one live app, enter the live card deck from the bottom edge.",
    "Swipe between two live cards, expand one, and return to the deck.",
    "Open the app drawer from the deck, scroll, and dismiss it without launching.",
    "Pull down notifications, then swipe up to dismiss the shade.",
    "Open Settings, enter Themes, preview a background, cancel, and verify the active scene remains unchanged."

  "limits": "This checklist fixes interaction identity. The script records no timing or performance pass; physical observations and card budget measurements are separate gates."
