 Mutation evidence: removing the product display/visibility exclusion causes this scenario to fail with the hidden control IDs in its focus list (exit 1, 1 failed/0 passed). Mutant reverted. This fixes expensive JSDOM style evaluation in the test harness, not a demonstrated browser defect. Application CSS/layout remains outside this unit fixture's scope.
+
+Fixture mutation: omitting native hidden-attribute filtering also fails the contract (exit 1, 1 failed/0 passed); restored before final checks.

 - Deliberate product mutant removing display/visibility filtering: final regression exits 1, 1 failed/0 passed, hidden control IDs appear in actual focus list. Product restored byte-for-byte. Initial DOM-object diff diagnostic interrupted (130); replaced with control-ID diagnostics, no assertion relaxation.
 - Initial sandbox lint: exit 2, git subprocess EPERM. Unrestricted lint then exposed forbidden direct style assignments in test fixture; corrected to fixture stylesheet classes. `npm run lint` unrestricted final run: exit 0, all 11 stages passed.
 - Early full-unit diagnostic interrupted (130) before completion while final fixture was being prepared; no full pass claimed. Final committed/merged-tree checks follow in a separate log.
+- Merged-tree isolated check at d0224078: exit 0, 27/27, 2700.15ms; lint 11/11 exit 0. Full diagnostic stopped before completion (130) for a fixture correction: preserve native `[hidden]` file-input display filtering. Added this control to the same contract scenario. Corrected isolated suite exits 0, 27/27. Fixture mutant omitting `[hidden]` filtering exits 1, 1 failed/0 passed; fixture restored. The full suite will restart on the final committed tree.
