Show concise progress during first room create/join; reserve persistent recovery instructions for saved/uncertain attempts. Retain completed-action text until a local Continue button, without gating rules or AI. Preserve unread text across backgrounding, bounded summaries, mute and private-safe feedback. Fix the container QA helper path-import collision.
Verified: typecheck, lint, 5200 offline tests, 52 HTTP tests and production build. Delayed/lost-response browser checks prove progress, refresh recovery and exact retry without duplicates. Notice stayed for over 47 seconds while the QA game progressed; Continue advances only presentation. Mobile 16px/44px controls verified. Existing games preserved. Container/deployed acceptance follows publication.
