   WebScene-owned generic shortcut coverage is now merged in #200 at 31d3bf5d.

   The merged change:

   • gives native modifier transitions browser-shaped Shift, Control, Alt, and Meta key/code identities instead of Unidentified;
   • adds a focused webscene_native_shortcut_activation CTest for exact pointer targeting, element/Document/Window callback counts, Meta+Shift+P fields and modifiers, focus retargeting before P/Shift/Meta keyup, visible scene publication, Escape close/focus restoration, and bounded repeated dispatch;
   • retains at most 32 structural event snapshots in the fixture and records no text or clipboard content;
   • registers the shortcut and modifier coverage in the component profile.

   Validation:

   • on rebased exact head 95903142, webscene_native_shortcut_activation and webscene_native_dom_punctuation_keyboard both passed on macOS arm64 Release;
   • the focused activation run before the mainline rebase processed 4,096 inputs in 0.115 seconds with a measured maximum dispatch of 0.498 ms against a 250 ms per-input ceiling;
   • the portable V8/CMake contract runner passed on exact head 95903142: https://github.com/SceneTech/WebScene/actions/runs/35160656968;
   • profile JSON parsing and git diff --check passed.

   The opt-in host trace remains owned by merged AppScene#81; WebScene#185 already retained the bounded native stress/teardown and external symbol support. No second text-bearing input trace was added.

   This issue remains open. With #98 and #99 closed, its remaining acceptance is downstream packaged Code OSS evidence: palette nonzero results, filtering and normal close; exact Welcome Open File, Explorer, and Chat pointer targets; dispatch-to-publication latency; and the editor text/clipboard duplicate-input gates. Any proven pointer defect should still split to its own focused issue.

   The final packaged Code OSS gate found a presentation delay after the shortcut contract merged in #200. Bounded evidence confirms this is not a WebScene key identity or dispatch regression:

   • the complete Meta+Shift+P keydown/up sequence is accepted with the native window key and the WebScene view as first responder;
   • the V8 shortcut changes focus and creates the palette DOM;
   • the Cocoa host's input-driven display tick polls before the worker publication is ready;
   • the later scene-publication wake can race AppScene's display-link parking, leaving the palette unpresented until the next native input requests a tick.

   The next printable event therefore makes the palette visible and retargets only the first characters, matching the retained trace and step screenshots. Ownership is AppScene's Cocoa display-link gate, tracked on SceneTech/AppScene#67 with focused fix 29bbd425. No additional WebScene input workaround is proposed. After the AppScene fix is merged and repinned, the packaged #100 acceptance lane will rerun palette focus, filtering, external link, fullscreen, reload, and close.

   Current final-package acceptance and the resulting generic fix:

   • Cmd+Shift+P opened a visibly populated command palette.
   • Filtering exposed Preferences commands and executing Preferences: Open Settings (UI) opened the Settings editor.
   • AppScene accepted all 116 retained native input records; the app closed normally with exit 0.
   • The existing editor text/clipboard duplicate-input gate passed byte-exact copy and paste+copyback with 88/88 input records accepted.
   • The Settings path then exposed this.selectElement.add is not a function, owned by reopened Match absolute modal and nested Settings layout used by VS Code OSS #112.

   #223 implemented generated HTMLSelectElement.add() exposure and WHATWG option/optgroup insertion semantics, including element/index references, nested optgroups, browser-shaped errors, WPT coverage, and a bounded 4,096-insertion performance gate. Its directly related portable V8 runner passed and it merged at d77032df.

   The package used for this acceptance predates d77032df. The next exact SDK/package rebuild must rerun Settings controls, image clipboard, pointer targets, and dispatch-to-publication evidence before this issue closes.
