Composer dressing verdict + run surface lab

[arielconti10]

What

Two playground labs that close the composer question and open the run surface:

Composer dressing lab (/playground/composer-dressing)

• Adds variant E ("State-aware"): receipt and scope chrome mount pre-dispatch, then collapse into a pinned run fact once the run starts — the state transition itself under evaluation.
• Records the verdict (Jul 6): A (bare) wins. Term chrome is rejected; the composer keeps machinery chrome only — meters (context ring, branch), pickers (mode, model), pointers (@-mentions). User-stated constraints are advisory prose; rendering them as chrome gives wishes the visual authority of enforced limits. B–E stay interactive as the record of what was tried. PRs Ratify B+C composer direction (verification defensibility + plan→execute) #6 and Add B+C dispatch-moment compositions to the compound composer playground #8 were closed against this verdict.

Run surface lab (/playground/run-surface)

• One nine-step run under three autonomy postures ("Asks first" / "Edits freely" / "On its own"), with the posture rendered as an explicit checkpoint policy per action class (reads / edits / commands / boundaries / external).
• Demonstrates the conservation law: checkpoints relocate from in-flight gates to the post-run receipt — they never disappear. The receipt's checkpoint ledger counts the relocation (decisions made in-flight vs edits applied without review).
• Two invariants fire at every posture: boundary violations escalate (the "don't touch deps" line, with two choices whose consequences differ downstream), and external side effects gate (the push).
• The receipt renders on stop as well as success — partial, honest, "nothing was pushed."

Why

Continues the dispatch-contract research: the composer column of the four-surface framework is now settled and documented, and the in-flight + post-run surfaces get their first teaching artifact. The receipt here is the candidate shape for a future run-receipt registry primitive.

Verification

npm run verify passes (lint, typecheck, format, audit-ui, sync-registry check, registry deps, build, registry build). Playground-only changes — no registry components touched. Browser QA at desktop and 390px mobile widths, all three postures plus the stop path.
