 | Wrap / grow | Field is **`break_lines`** + grows **vertically** with wrapped lines up to `COMPOSER_INPUT_MAX_H` (120 px) then scrolls **inside** the entry. Composer chrome box uses a dynamic absolute rect from previous-frame measurement (`composer_last_h`): idle = `COMPOSER_IDLE_CHROME_H` (44 px = TOUCH_H + 2×HUG_PAD), max = `COMPOSER_MAX_CHROME_H` (124 px). Glyphs sit `COMPOSER_TE_PAD` (5 px) inside the field stroke — `min_size_content` / `max_size_content` are passed minus 2×pad because `TextEntryWidget.init` bakes padding in. The textEntry hugs one line when idle, grows up when multi-line (one-frame settle lag), and scrolls internally past 120 px. The Send/Stop icon at `gravity_y = 1.0` stays bottom-pinned on the field baseline (adversarial review #584 Round 2 Major L1+L9). Never a horizontal gutter (repo no-h-scroll policy, #344/#457/#579) |
 | Icon button | Fixed **`TOUCH_H`×`TOUCH_H`** (40 px) square on the **same row** as the field, **bottom-pinned** (`gravity_y = 1.0`) so it stays glued to the status bar while the field grows up (plan #575 lock). Idle = ▶ Send (submit when non-empty); Busy = ■ Stop (protocol v9 `queueCancelFromUi` → host abort). No labelled Stop/Send pill, no hint copy. Glyphs from the embedded DejaVu Sans Symbols face (no tofu) |
 | Turn clock | Whole-turn **`mm:ss`** is painted **in-canvas** by the Wasm busy row (`Waiting for model… · 0:42`), protocol **v14** (`inv_set_turn_elapsed`). The **DOM host** owns the only reliable wall-clock (no WASI clock in Wasm): its ~1 Hz Busy effect pushes the elapsed seconds to the bridge (`HarnessBridge.setTurnElapsed` → `inv_set_turn_elapsed`), reset to 0 on Ready/Stop/error so no bare `0:00` lingers. The clock is client wall-time from turn start — **not** provider `usage` duration. See [feature-divide.md](feature-divide.md) |
-| Busy spinner | Two instances of a **2×4 rectangle grid**: (a) **transcript busy row** — a **WARM rectangle grid** paints **left of** `Waiting for model…` on a **full-width `teal_bg` bar**; while Busy the waiting copy runs a **left-to-right cyclic WARM color wave** (same 10 Hz phase as the spinner) via `text_wave.zig` — per-scalar color from `warm_accent` (head) through `warm_muted`/`warm_border` (tail, capped — `warm_surface` #1a120c is ~1:1 on `teal_bg` and reserved for rect_spinner off-cells), ~5.4 s full cycle at 10 Hz. The wave is painted inside the same textLayout as the ` · mm:ss` clock (no separate clock textLayout). (b) **status-bar line 1** — during **Busy** the same WARM pulse runs; during **idle** (Ready / boot / error) all 8 cells paint `teal_muted` as a static, subtle grid. The grid is **4×4 px cells** with **2 px sibling gaps** (inner 10×22), centered by equal pad (**1.5 / 3.5**) inside a reserved **13×29 slot**; the slot and the **10 px `TRAIL`** before the waiting copy do not move. The pulse is a **clockwise loop**: left column **bottom→top**, right column **top→bottom**. The **DOM host** feeds the pulse phase at **`HARNESS_BUSY_TICK_HZ` = 10 Hz while Busy** (`HarnessBridge.setBusyTick` → additive `inv_set_busy_tick`). **NEW cap:** 10 Hz while Busy, **0 otherwise** — well below the dvui 60 fps ceiling, host-local `setInterval` (no transport), turns transient. Pulse is pure Wasm LUT paint (`native/harness/src/busy_spinner.zig` / `rect_spinner.zig` / `text_wave.zig`), **no I/O / alloc in the frame path**. Each `setBusyTick` triggers a full dvui `refresh()` (re-layout + repaint) at up to 10 Hz while Busy vs 1 Hz today — the 10 Hz bound is the lock, not a cached-redraw claim. **Reduced motion:** host skips tick pushes → `busy_tick` stays 0 (reserved sentinel). Both grids static (spinner head **bottom-left**; wave all `warm_accent` — the phase-0 fast-path in `text_wave.zig` paints the whole string at `ramp[0]`). The bridge maps busy ticks to 1..255 (wrapping 255→1, never 0) so a long turn (≥ 25.6 s) never flashes solid mid-animation. The live `mm:ss` **clock feed keeps running** (solid `warm_accent`, never waves). Old host + new Wasm: `busy_tick` stays 0 → static grids + static wave (graceful). New host + old Wasm: `inv_set_busy_tick` is in `REQUIRED_FNS`, so a stale build fails closed at load |

 | Short canvas | Transcript shrinks / scrolls first — chrome keeps touch-sized targets (~40px). `SCROLL_FLOOR_H` (32 px) prevents the transcript from collapsing to zero on absurdly short canvases |
 | Content size | Tall messages grow **virtual** scroll size only; scroller outer height is fixed to the leftover band |
 | Solid chrome | Composer band uses TEAL fill so transcript paint cannot show through |
