+hosted recovery proof is pending. Accessibility head 23928bc still failed the initial status lookup (24/25 UI tests passed); properties alone did not resolve it. The next diagnostic retains the native tree and fixture-window PNG in hosted installed evidence. No deletion assertion is weakened. Scripts 38100976565 reproduced the analyzer
 engine crash; no scripts/settings/workflow changed and issue #5 remains open.
