android: the handoff — the pending rounds, the pipeline, and what is unverified

Everything written this session that has not been through the device: rounds 43
to 48 (each patch adversarially verified, 43's transient-notice expectation
fixed), a partial round 49, the pipeline scripts, the Android Auto design and
the icon comparison mock. Also the two harness changes that were never A/B'd —
adaptive waits, which may only shorten a declared wait and never lengthen it,
and a ship that runs the mock walk and the deploy at the same time. The A/B and
its 255-step baseline are in handoff/tools; main stays at what the phone has
actually walked.

+android: the phone turned sideways — the player beside itself, the chrome cut down
+
+The phone UI was drawn portrait-first and had never been looked at in
+landscape. The player sheet was the casualty: its cover is a square sized by
+width, so at 915×411 it came out 879px tall and the title, the scrubber, the
+transport and the face buttons all sat below the bottom of a sheet that does
+not scroll — a corner of the artwork and no way to pause. Sideways the sheet
+is two columns now, the cover sized by height beside the controls, with a
+lyrics or queue face taking the cover's column; the nav and the mini bar come
+down to 48 and 60dp, the artist hero becomes the banner the desktop's hero has
+always been rather than 300px of a 411px screen, the record head puts the
+cover beside the title, and the shell reads the side insets the cutout and the
+gesture pill take when the phone is on its side. The walk turns the phone over
+and back on its own: `{ view: [w, h] }` is a step kind now, and the steps
+assert what used to be off the screen.
