Phone Aero glass + a timed run you can see

The phone (touch) chat chrome carried a 55% flat white veil while every other
Aero surface uses the thin 32% Ask-pill tint, so the header, welcome card and
composer read as plain white on a bright sky. They now use the same flat glass
as the cards, the answer/user bubbles keep 42% for long reading, and the
composer's field is a lighter 42% tile. The shared Aero wash block moved above
the touch media query so its background-image can no longer resurrect the bake
on phones.

The timed run worked but was invisible: the only cue was a small chip among the
streak/XP counters. The chrome pill now draws the countdown along its lower
edge, the chip is bordered (a control, not a stat), turns rose with the bar in
the last ten seconds, and fires one soft haptic tick at ten seconds.

Contrast scan clean on the phone chat in all three themes; activities suite
pins the countdown bar (25 checks). Version 0.6.2, SW v84.
