-Initial verification against LibreOffice 26.2.6.3 passed the Calc harness,

-Xorg input checks. Browser tab and table checks also passed. Browser editing

+The tightening pass against LibreOffice 26.2.6.3 verifies the existing cell,

+out of the generic descendant search makes the recorded return checks pass;

-Formula-slice verification passed the isolated real Calc harness, focused

-`TestRunReachesSoundStopAfterEarlierServiceStopError`: it can cancel during

-The same failure reproduced on unchanged commit `e0c8c61` with
-`GOMAXPROCS=8 go test -race ./internal/app -run '^TestRunReachesSoundStopAfterEarlierServiceStopError$' -count=100`.
-The remaining app race tests passed with that one test excluded.

-produced stale/timed-out accessibility objects after window activation, even

+These results establish recorded private-session behavior. Audible output,
