Cases and Lessons: first phone screen within Comms's 110 words

At 390x844, Cases shows 125 words and Lessons 120 (the next card's title shows above the fold). Both stay unenforced, with no limit raised, until Comms trims copy to fit (Ryno's review, Oct 19).

Links inside role objectives: underlined, and plain inline text instead of 44px boxes

Mobile UI/UX audit at 390 (P1, P2): 15 'assigned in Team chat' links on Home and Team have no underline and the text colour, and their 44px box opens a gap mid-sentence. WCAG 2.5.8 exempts inline links.

Team card avatars hop once on focus, not on an endless loop

Mobile UI/UX audit at 390 (P5): focusing 'More about' starts a 0.9 s hop that repeats until focus leaves. Reduced motion already stops it; this keeps the default calm.

XP bars on Home and Team say what they fill toward

Mobile UI/UX audit at 390 (G1, G2): 25 bars are aria-hidden with no 'XP to next level' text, and the track is 1.32:1 on light cards and 1.35:1 on dark. Add the text sheets already show; the track then stays decorative.

How XP works at 390: rules a reader can see without sideways scrolling

Mobile UI/UX audit at 390 (G3, G4): 'Who earns it' and 'Reviewer' start off-screen in a 640px table, and short names in the sheet list get a gap before the colon from a 44px min-width.
