Council Findings — Honest Caveats

  • Suspiciously fast convergence on “household appliance” frame across 6 models — possibly shared training-data blindspot (every model has read the same Nest Hub / Skylight reviews).
  • 100% claim survival rate flagged as suspect; the contradiction detector did NOT catch Gemma 2’s “kid mode profiles” vs Codex/Pi/Claude “no profiles” contradiction. Treat survival rate as a floor, not a confidence signal.
  • No model questioned whether the device should exist; family abandonment after 30 days is the real falsification test, which no principle here addresses.

Engineering Lessons Encoded in the Prototype

  • Pointer Events with synthesized-click trap is the canonical pattern for touch-friendly drag systems. Reference implementation lives in family-agenda.html — copy this for any future tablet UI.
  • Snap-chromium headless screenshots add a scrollbar artifact at viewport-edge in standalone tab; iframe-at-target-size or HTTP-served probe is the workaround.
  • file:// iframes are cross-origin to each other in Chromium; HTTP server required for any cross-frame JS probe.
