🗑 is drawn in one cell where 💾, 🌍, ⏳ and 📱 are drawn in two, and a command
row that wrote `icon + " "` started its label wherever its own icon ended. So
Delete contact… sat a column left of Archive contact above it (JP). Ten of the
app's lexicon icons are like this — 🗑 ✎ ⚙ ▶ ★ ↻ ↕ ⇄ ⌨ # — so any list mixing
them with the other twenty-seven was out of line; the Contacts tail's 🗑 Purge
against 📂 View archived was the same fault one screen over.
Not an emoji-width entry. The classifier is clear that both authorities and the
terminal agree 🗑 is one cell: it sits outside Emoji_Presentation and carries no
VS16, so the font draws a one-cell text glyph and everyone is right. Forcing it
into the wide set would reserve a cell nothing draws and pull the border in —
the mistake 🛣 already cost the Trophy case. The measurement was never wrong;
the layout assumed it away.
The trace and TX sweep screens had solved this properly and privately, each
with its own copy: declare the marks a list can draw, measure the widest, pad
every mark out to it. That is now menus.icon_lane/icon_mark, THE icon column,
and those two delegate rather than duplicate. marked_label takes the lane so a
mixed list can pass it, defaulting to measuring the single icon — which stays
right for a list whose rows all lead with the same mark, and is precisely what
misaligns one that doesn't.
The node page measures its column once over every action it can offer, so the
group ends aligned however many of archive/restore/delete a given contact
earns. PicoCalc is unaffected and stays that way by construction: it draws no
icon lane at all, so the column measures zero, the separator goes with it, and
the tint lands on the label as before.
The tests assert in display cells rather than characters. That distinction is
the bug — 🗑 plus two spaces and 📂 plus one are three cells and different
string lengths, and an index-based assertion would have called the fix broken
and the break fixed.
