 ## Unreleased
 
+### The mobile nav stays reachable on engines without `:has()`
+
+At 860px and narrower, an engine without `:has()` (Chromium below 105, such as webOS TV 22 and 23,
+and Firefox below 121) hid the sidebar off-canvas with no way to open it, so the pages the nav links
+to could not be reached. Now the sidebar moves off-canvas, behind the hamburger, only where `:has()`
+works. Elsewhere it stays in the flow above the content and the hamburger is hidden.
+
 ### The whole nav tree shows on engines without `:has()`

 ## Details
 
-### 36. Keep the mobile nav reachable at 860px and narrower on an engine without `:has()`, and move it off-canvas only where `:has()` works.
-
-README → "Two browser floors": Chromium 87 must reach every page, and `:has()` may only decorate.
-In `public/css/styles.css`, `@media (max-width: 860px)` moves `.sidebar` off-canvas with
-`transform: translateX(-100%)`, and only `body:has(#nav-toggle:checked)` brings it and `.scrim`
-back. Below Chromium 105 (webOS TV 22 and 23) the hamburger does nothing at that width, so no page
-behind the nav can be reached. Move the off-canvas rules inside `@supports selector(:has(a))`, and
-keep the sidebar in the flow outside it, with the hamburger hidden. The desktop tree and the theme
-switch are already guarded. Test it beside `src/ui/stylesheet-floor.test.ts`.
-
-### 37. Replace the stale architecture comment at the top of `public/css/styles.css` so it no longer says the design tokens use `light-dark()`.
-
-The header (lines 4-6) says the tokens use `light-dark()`, but the TOKENS comment below it says the
-stylesheet avoids `light-dark()` and `color-scheme` for app colours, because engines resolve them
-unreliably, and maps raw `--l-*`/`--d-*` palettes in three theme blocks instead. A reader trusting
-the header looks for `light-dark()` that does not exist. Found by a comprehension-panel reader.
-
 ### 26. Add a domain glossary and the project's intended horizon to the README.
 
 Glossary: host, manifest, chrome, nav fragment, permission token, system plugin, denylist. Also the
@@ -77,6 +59,14 @@ AGENTS.md → "`ICON_NAMES` is a host-owned registry" already makes this routine
 
 Only `tsc --strict` runs today. A new tool is a new dependency, so justify it.
 
+### 38. Correct the TOKENS comment at the top of `public/css/styles.css` so it no longer claims `:has()` swaps are "rock-solid" or that the theme follows the OS on every engine.
+
+Section 1's TOKENS comment says the theme follows the OS by default and that `:has()` variable swaps
+are "rock-solid". On an engine without `:has()` (Chromium below 105, Firefox below 121) every theme
+rule is inert, the OS-dark rule included, so those engines stay light, as the
+`@supports not selector(:has(a))` block further down says. A reader trusting the comment expects dark
+mode there.
+
 ### 32. Fail the gate on a stylesheet feature the browser floor lacks, unless it is guarded.
 
 Nothing checks README → "Two browser floors", and no E2E engine is old enough to show a break.
