# Visual QA ledger

| Issue | Artifact | Severity | Fix | Status |
|:--|:--|:--|:--|:--|
| Large-edge tick labels overlapped | `figure_clln_scaling_pilot` | Medium | Shortened 1,152 and 2,048 to 1.2k and 2.0k | Resolved |
| Pilot could be mistaken for confirmation | `figure_clln_scaling_pilot` | High | Added an explicit five-task, one-draw exploratory label | Resolved |
| Slope title did not name its comparator | Panel (a) | Medium | Named static calibration in the title | Resolved |
| Color-only distinctions could fail in print | All panels | Medium | Added distinct markers and line styles; inspected the rendered PNG | Resolved |
| Vector editability and font embedding | SVG and PDF | Medium | Kept live SVG text and verified embedded DejaVu Sans in the PDF | Resolved |

Rendered inspection: no clipped labels, legend overlap, panel overlap, or
detached source note at 2,556-by-778 PNG resolution. The next QA pass replaces
the pilot source with the frozen multi-task, multi-device confirmation without
changing the plot grammar.

## Hardware-realistic CLLN figure

| Issue | Artifact | Severity | Fix | Status |
|:--|:--|:--|:--|:--|
| Method and condition labels collided | Panels (a) and (c) | High | Replaced vertical bars with horizontal bars and single-line labels | Resolved |
| Different mismatch units were not directly comparable | Panel (b) | High | Used measured residual local-rate RMSE as the common x-axis and retained mismatch family as series | Resolved |
| Zero-error conditions were visually ambiguous | Panels (a) and (c) | Low | Kept a small x-axis margin below zero so zero-valued error bars remain visible | Resolved |
| Generic SPICE primitive could be read as a full-circuit simulation | Figure scope | High | Excluded it from the main plotted panels and recorded its limited scope in the analysis and visual contract | Resolved |
| Color-only distinctions could fail in print | Panel (b) | Medium | Added distinct circle and diamond markers | Resolved |

Rendered inspection: no clipped labels, tick-label collision, legend overlap,
or panel overlap at 2,560-by-765 PNG resolution. SVG text remains editable and
the PDF uses embedded TrueType fonts.
