Crossing Foley's elemental tasks against cardinality over the kit finds two empty cells: selecting one of a dynamic set (the device and network lists) and alphanumeric text entry (a WiFi password). Panels that already exist want both.
The cross needed an axis the note didn't carry. Cardinality lumps all one-of-N together, so a chicken-head selector and a WiFi list share a cell that then reads as covered. Set stability is what separates them. The axis is invisible from inside hardware, where every option set is engraved at manufacture. That's why a catalogue modelled on period gear goes blind exactly where its software consumers live.
The period answer to a changing set was never a control but a re-labelable slot: jukebox title strips, Rolodex cards, scribble strips. The slot is manufactured, the label isn't.
Reference photos supersede the teletype for text entry. They're all ABC-order industrial keypads, whose colour-coded CANCEL, CLEAR/NO and ENTER/YES land on the palette untranslated. A survey adds two idioms unlike a keypad: the index typewriter, which selects on one control and commits on another, and the chorded keyset, which has no key per letter at all.

25 new cards, grammar note
Squash of the gallery-upgrades branch (25 commits). Usability: widget stages scale S/M/L (2.4x default), reading text at 12-13pt, a live palette section parsed from the generated :root block, screen-color families with per-card chips on the five screen widgets, and a collapsible spec sheet on every card (input model, solves, use, limits, origin, difficulty, prefer-when, period on the non-timeless).
Collection grew 84 → 109 cards, all CDP-verified: reference cards R32-R36 (mechanical timer, four-way rocker, four-way toggle, day-date discs, LED dot matrix), the takuzu-survey build R37-R47 plus the N23 alarm lifecycle (pin matrix, dead-man, rotary dial, breaker panel, DSKY, cam timer, attitude indicator, heading bug, flip-disc, dekatron, landing gear), the promoted banked six R48-R53 (knife switch, decade box, two-hand control, voice-loop keyset, blinkenlights, circular chart), and the Ki-57/comfort-meter trio R54-R56 (vertical tape, twin-needle, comfort-zone crossed needles).
Also: docs/design control-grammars reference note (taxonomy sources and proposed axes for the classification work), nine reference photos filed, and a component cleanup pass (dial digits above the finger wheel, legible demo defaults, unified captions).
