+# Next UI 1.0.0-RC.12 — preparation
+
+This checkout prepares RC12 for application testing; **it is not yet published**. The next unused candidate number was selected from the actual public RC1–RC11 tags. [RC11](https://github.com/QRun-IO/qqq-frontend-next/releases/tag/v1.0.0-RC.11) remains published and immutable. Planned artifacts are `com.kingsrook.qqq:qqq-frontend-next:1.0.0-RC.12` and `ghcr.io/qrun-io/qqq-frontend-next:1.0.0-RC.12`. Tag/source identities, artifact signatures/hashes and image digests require actual delivery verification. Final 1.0 remains held for application soak and explicit owner approval.
+
+## Change from RC11
+
+[PR32](https://github.com/QRun-IO/qqq-frontend-next/pull/32), source candidate `0222f0dcadb68eceb0a6946dc9d8d51546469b46`, applies `dropdownDefaultValueList` dates only while their controls are untouched. It uses the existing date parser and `normalizeDropdownDate` request policy, preserving consumer wire-format overrides rather than applying the display formatter. Explicit edits, stored dates and cleared (`null`) values remain unchanged; server defaults do not enter browser storage. Possible-value defaults retain their existing behavior. This addresses [Next issue31](https://github.com/QRun-IO/qqq-frontend-next/issues/31). No consumer table, identity, private data or provider is embedded.
+
+## Verification checkpoint
+
+The date-default regression fails before the product fix. A separate request-format regression fails before the normalization correction and passes afterward. A CI-discovered test timing race now waits for the asynchronous request without changing its expected values. Reviewed PR32 local qualification passes 22 focused and 1,999 full tests in 185 files, unchanged coverage thresholds, typecheck, lint/license (zero errors/five existing warnings), static export and bundle budgets. Tests cover valid and missing/invalid defaults, late reload, explicit clearing, stored choices and fresh caller state. The reviewed source includes post-RC11 test instrumentation and retains that separate provenance. After upstream PR29 advanced main with opt-in browser diagnostic tests, the preserved combined source passes 2,021 tests / 186 files, typecheck and lint; its product diff remains only the two widget files. Exact PR32 full hosted browser acceptance and the versioned RC12 preparation/public-artifact checks remain separate; no pending run is labelled successful.
+
+The initial RC12 preparation at `ef525fd` passed 1,998 tests in 185 files, unchanged coverage thresholds, typecheck, lint/license, static export, Java21 Maven packaging and bundle budgets. All 192 dashboard files in the local JAR match the static export byte-for-byte, the development mock worker is absent, and compiled frontend/Maven versions both identify RC12. This is a historical local preparation artifact, not a public release or downstream installation. Fresh corrected-source RC12 qualification also passes 1,999 tests, typecheck, lint/license, static export, Java21 Maven packaging and bundle budgets. Its 192 dashboard files match the rebuilt local JAR byte-for-byte; development mock files are absent and frontend/Maven versions agree. The versioned preparation with the preserved PR29 diagnostics also passes all 2,021 tests / 186 files. Public delivery remains pending.
+
+The current preparation preserves reviewed main `5ca3e0b`, including the separate query focus/menu fixes. Source local gates pass 2,026 tests / 186 files, typecheck, lint/license, static export and budget. The original [source run36978246083](https://github.com/QRun-IO/qqq-frontend-next/actions/runs/36978246083) remains failed: tablet WID-009 sampled zero-size labels immediately after resize. Its test now waits at most five seconds for correct labels, no rotation, positive dimensions and strict nonoverlap; no retries, skips or geometry thresholds changed. Fresh source and versioned full hosted matrices remain required before merge or publication. The independent earlier draft RC run passed, but does not replace this combined-tree qualification.
+
+## Existing RC limits and backend qualification
+
+Retain [RC11's public delivery and full tag-run results](https://github.com/QRun-IO/qqq-frontend-next/releases/tag/v1.0.0-RC.11), including its failed Firefox/tablet diagnostics. A narrowly passing date regression does not waive those failures or establish complete Material parity, all-browser acceptance or GA approval. The existing investigations and owner RC scope in [qqq#985](https://github.com/QRun-IO/qqq/issues/985), [#798](https://github.com/QRun-IO/qqq/issues/798), [#904](https://github.com/QRun-IO/qqq/issues/904) and [#712](https://github.com/QRun-IO/qqq/issues/712) remain separate. Real Auth0/Drive/QuickSight, sub-path hosting, visual review and application soak are not supplied by this change.
+
+QQQ 4.1 backend/native-protocol compatibility must be qualified against the exact selected backend and candidate artifact. Foundation ISO date/layout patches and downstream application packaging have their own source/byte identity; an RC12 source tree must not be labelled RC8 or RC11. The image backend origin remains fixed at build time to `host.docker.internal:8000`; use the JAR or rebuild for another origin. No QQQ, foundation or downstream version is changed by these metadata files.
