ADFA-5098: Require font-scale verification for new and changed screens - #1657
Conversation
CoGo is built for developers with limited vision, but nothing in our docs asked anyone to check a screen at a large system font. REVIEW.md covered TalkBack semantics only, and CLAUDE.md had no accessibility guidance at all. Text units are already correct repo-wide (0 dp text sizes, 65 sp), so this is a layout reflow problem, not a units problem. The failure mode is text that grows into a container that cannot: an sp dimen used as a margin, a 40dp box around a label, ellipsize="none", or content with nowhere to scroll. - CLAUDE.md: new constraint bullet requiring 1.0/2.0 verification, plus the adb recipe under Build & test -> Emulator / device. - REVIEW.md: widen section 8 to cover scaling, add a checklist item and an evidence-ledger entry. Required for new/changed screens, with a one-line opt-out for surfaces with no text. - architecture-review skill: rule 12, so the section 10 deep pass checks font scale the way it checks the system bars. Manual verification rather than a test: the repo has no screenshot testing, no Compose UI-test dependency, and has never used Robolectric qualifiers. This mirrors how section 11 already handles offline verification. Every command in the new CLAUDE.md block was run against an API 36 emulator before being written down.

Follow-ups to acb76fe, all in the docs it touched. The rule named only 2.0 in the architecture-review rule 12 and the REVIEW.md checklist item, and the REVIEW.md evidence line asked for a screenshot at 2.0 alone. All three now require 1.0 and 2.0, matching what CLAUDE.md and the REVIEW.md summary row already said. Verifying at one scale does not show that a layout reflows; it shows one snapshot of it. The architecture-review applicability line mapped 9 of its 12 rules to a change type, orphaning rules 3 (Koin), 7 (module boundaries) and 10 (strings) -- a reviewer following the line literally would skip them. Each now has a scope, plus a catch-all so a rule added to the table later is not dropped by omission. The CLAUDE.md adb recipe printed the current font_scale but never captured it, then restored a hard-coded 1.0. A device sitting at 1.15 was left at 1.0, and a device that never had the setting had one created. The value is now captured (stripping the CRLF adb shell returns), an EXIT trap restores it so the restore also fires if screencap dies partway, and the null case deletes the setting rather than inventing a value. No device was attached, so unlike the parent commit the recipe was verified against a stub adb that records writes and replays a seeded value. Seeds 1.15, null and 2.0 each end at their starting state; the old block failed the first two.

57-57: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick winAdd an explicit 1.0 execution to the font-scale recipe.
Line 57 requires verification at both 1.0 and 2.0. The referenced recipe only sets 2.0. Restoring an original value does not verify 1.0 when the device starts at 1.15, 2.0, or another value. Set 1.0 and perform the same UI and evidence checks before the 2.0 step.

Why
CoGo is built for developers with limited vision, but nothing in our docs asked anyone to look at a screen with a large system font. REVIEW.md §8 covered TalkBack semantics only; CLAUDE.md had no accessibility guidance at all.
Text units are already right repo-wide — 0
dptext sizes, 65sp— so this isn't a units problem. It's a layout reflow problem, and the failure mode is text that grows into a container that can't. That already exists here:spdimen used as spacingapp/src/main/res/layout-land/fragment_onboarding_greeting.xml:52—@dimen/_32sp(=32sp) aslayout_marginStart/End, so the margins grow with the font scale and squeeze the text columnapp/src/main/res/layout/layout_symbol_item.xml:7— aTextButtonpinned to 40dp x 40dpapp/src/main/res/layout/fragment_build_variants.xml:50,68—ellipsize="none"app/src/main/res/layout/have a scroll containerfloating-window/.../FloatingWindowChrome.kt:203,269,293— fixed.height(44.dp)/.size(36.dp)around scaling textWhat changed
Docs only — three Markdown files, 26 insertions.
adbrecipe under Build & test -> Emulator / device..claude/skills/architecture-review/SKILL.md— rule 12, so the §10 deep pass checks font scale like it checks the system bars. Also fixes a pre-existing omission: rule 11 was UI-only but wasn't listed in the applicability line.Why manual verification rather than a test
There's no mechanized option available today: no screenshot testing (Paparazzi/Roborazzi/Shot — none in the catalog), no Compose UI-test dependency, and Robolectric
@Config(qualifiers = ...)has never been used in this repo. Adding any of those is a much larger decision than this ticket, and CLAUDE.md says to avoid new dependencies.Verification
Every command in the new CLAUDE.md block was run against
emulator-5554(API 36) before being written down, then re-run copy-pasted from the rendered doc:Both file citations in the docs were verified directly (
@dimen/_32spis32spatvalues/dimens.xml:25; it is used as a margin atlayout-land/fragment_onboarding_greeting.xml:52-53), as was the 14-of-108 scroll-container count. Spotless doesn't target Markdown (java / gradle.kts / xml / .gitignore only) and the pre-push run confirmed no reformatting.Note for reviewers
The 2.0x sweep will start finding real problems the moment anyone runs it — see the table above. Those are existing screens and deliberately not fixed here; a docs PR shouldn't become a UI PR. Worth follow-up tickets, along with the 8 of 9 activities that omit
