/* _RETIRED_20260919_R999_V3313_LINES, third line: the line BELOW this comment is the retired copy of the
   v3.3.13 scale comment. It is not guidance and it is not live text -- it sits outside the block above
   only because it is itself a complete comment and CSS comments do not nest. It still names a 10 px step;
   the file's own header at line 1 is the scale of record, six steps with nothing under 11 px. Labelled

   11 px, mono included, which is the only thing that phrase can be answering; and of the 87 selectors
   carrying a 10 px font-size somewhere, 0 still draw at 10. The line below is kept verbatim either
   way (line-loss law). The two markers in this file disagree on their date and BOTH STAY as they are:
   R999 carries the PACIFIC date (it landed 10:09pm PT Sat, already the 20th in Z) and R1003 carries the
   UTC one. R1003 is the convention -- under PACIFIC-TIME-1 Pacific is for what Adam reads, and a
   _RETIRED_YYYYMMDD_ marker is an identifier people grep and sort, so it takes Z. R999 is NOT renamed:
   it already exists at origin, and renaming an identifier breaks every grep that ever matched it. New
   markers take Z. (Aldrin 2 ruling, 2026-09-19; the disagreement documented beats a rewrite.) */
