style(ui): open application rows and workspace sections

65 targeted tests and focused six-state phone pilot pass. Full 216-state visual qualification remains pending; final owner acceptance is separate.

+# Application list and workspace visual correction — active
+
+4 November 2026. Approved IM10 continuation from published/remotely verified `af2df360624d5c48ae03d80e7281704372d860ee` (secondary source checkpoint `69621788ee53d842c82cab307be129ba8806ca26`). No owner permission is outstanding for ordinary visual correction.
+
+Material before evidence: `evidence/applications` has36 configurations/144 successful controlled accessibility states but still shows a bordered collection enclosing large mobile job cards and a large boxed detail header. These are functional/accessibility results, not final A3 visual acceptance. Approved A3 applications390 and detail1440 reference images were inspected without restarting design selection.
+
+Uncommitted correction:
+
+- Mobile rows use quiet separators and full available width, inline existing facts and direct44px named icon actions. Every edit/status/delete/restore handler and confirmation remains. Column/density preferences, selection, tags/signals, pagination, role/tabIndex, interactive-target guards, keyboard navigation and return state remain.
+- Workspace header, continuous document/notes/calendar/correspondence/next-action/recent-activity sections and expanded recorded details/advert use open sections. Two-column phone preparation links retain all five destinations. Header/Accordion padding reduced; right-side context grid and jump/return targets unchanged.
+-65 tests/six suites passed, including EN/NB mobile actions independent of row navigation and existing cover-letter preservation. Types/lint/build passed. A native test initially queried background controls before the confirmation dialog finished exiting; corrected to await accessible restoration. Its failed report is retained.
+- Independent source review found no actionable findings; native touch/icon discoverability and focus visibility still require rendered inspection.
+
+Browser evidence is deliberately distinct: `applications-flat` is the successor directory. The first36-configuration run covers five states per configuration (180 intended captures) but does **not** exercise a focused table row. A new focused-row pilot reproduced a real clipped outline in the borderless mobile collection; see `FOCUS-CLIP-FAILURE.json`. The responsible collection overflow was changed to visible on phones, retaining desktop containment. The new verifier adds a focused-row state and an explicit outline/clipping assertion: final required successor is **36 configurations /216 states**, not180. Do not attribute the older180-state run to the focus fix or mark this package complete until the final export and216-state run pass.
+
+Successor update: the older non-focused run completed180 states but cannot close the focus gap; retained as `PREDECESSOR-180.json` without claiming an immutable source manifest or using it for final qualification. Focus correction export built successfully; the new six-state phone pilot passed, including an explicit visible/unclipped row outline assertion. Final36-config/216-state run is next. Types/build and full lint passed for this correction. Do not add pilot/predecessor results to final totals.
+
+Remaining work: run full216, inspect phone/tablet/desktop and EN/NB/dark expanded detail captures, review source/evidence identities, publish/read back validated source and evidence checkpoints. Backend/physical PDF/provider/model/native/final security/release qualifications remain separate. Only app chrome changed; do not reopen accepted physical PDF metrics without an affected renderer change.
+
+Next eligible packages after this bounded correction: account continuous sections (V10), remaining route visual review/connected workflows, and the bounded literal-date localisation defect (V11). Whole34-route/57-group acceptance and final owner review remain OPEN. No orchestrator, main merge, production or deferred import-engine work.
