 # Completed Steps
 
+- 2026-08-10: every interactive control now meets the 44x44 CSS px minimum tap
+  target (`.pin-btn`, `#interval-select`, the debug-log label and, on narrow
+  viewports, `#pause-btn`). The pin button's hit area grows via matching
+  negative margins, so its layout footprint and row density are unchanged
 - 2026-08-09: dotfile compliance — lifted `backend/.editorconfig` to the repo
   root so `root = true` covers the frontend too, and replaced `.gitignore` with
   the org model (OS, editor, node, and environment/secrets sections) plus this
