   Escalation handoff (coordinator, 2026-10-13): lane B, gpt-5.4-mini, to gpt-6.1-sol.

   Trigger: the orchestration plan's 90-minute rule. The session ran from 20:29 to 22:48 and went idle without PR READY. No visual acceptance box was evidenced, and that evidence is central here: the S1 truncated panel text.

   Worth keeping (branch coneilen-microsoft-fix-right-loop-panel, draft PR #786):

   • f94ced63 "Fix right loop panel": replaces the fixed 1200 px text bound (GraphCanvas.zig:2308 rect(x, y, 1200, …)) with container-derived bounds. It updates canvas callers (cards, attention rail, activity strip, lane cards, loop detail rail), restructures the rail toward "THIS LOOP / HANDS OFF TO / started ", and adds geometry tests.
   • 874acc7d "Tighten loop panel layout": only local, possibly not pushed. The new session should check.
   • Evidence so far:
     • RED from a throwaway snapshot: expected 1762, found 1200.
     • GREEN: zig test src\GraphCanvas.zig, all 219 passed.
     • Exact-head CI on Fix right loop panel #786: green except for one job still running, including the integration job and its UIA gate.

   What failed or is missing:

   • Local captures failed twice: first on a fixture-project deadline, then with "Unable to start graphcoded.exe". No before/after screenshots exist.
   • No cross-vendor rubber duck was recorded.
   • The REGRESSION line is ambiguous. "All 167 tests passed" is one root, not the full -ShellPart unit result; it needs the section count and every root's count.

   Next session:

   1. Start from origin/main, which now includes Windows parity: in-window dark jump palette matching macOS (#776) #788.
   2. Cherry-pick the two commits above and name them in the PR.
   3. Produce the paired captures: the right panel at default width and at 960 px, against macOS 721-…-Show-Loop-Panel.
   4. Run the full unit inside a desktop lease, and do the rubber duck.
   5. Fix right loop panel #786 will be closed as superseded.

   Progress (coordinator, 2026-10-14): #789 merged as 464ec0f4.

   What it does

   • Canvas text bounds now come from the container, not a fixed x=1200 edge. That fixes the one-letter headings and the empty relation rows in the right loop panel, and the same bug on cards and lanes past x=1200.
   • The panel follows the macOS structure: a "THIS LOOP" minimap, a "HANDS OFF TO" list (type bar, title, condition, status dot) and a "started " footer.
   • The panel's UIA rects come from the painted bounds, and the sparkline node is omitted when there are fewer than 2 samples.

   Evidence

   • An offscreen raster RED on main (0 of 811 pixels beyond x=1200), then GREEN (811 of 811).
   • The full unit run, 55 of 55 sections, on a scratch profile.
   • Every exact-head workflow green.
   • Paired captures at the default width, 960 and 1800 px, plus a stress capture. I reviewed panel-1800 against macOS 721-…-Show-Loop-Panel: it matches in structure and content.
   • Cross-vendor review (Sonnet 5.5) accepted the code and evidence; the visual review was partial.

   Remaining before this issue closes: see the PR's Not verified list. That includes the Windows-only "Collapse" button inside the panel (macOS uses the toolbar toggle), and minimap and colour polish.
