[design-qa][P1] Slop patterns: a review pre-rated five stars, helper text under every field, permanent explanatory banners, glyph circles, "See all" everywhere

[cestercian]

Part of the Sep-2026 designer's-eye QA of the 138 "Artistant iOS Light" screens (theme T20, category slop; epic #161). Full report with evidence and per-screen coverage: docs/DESIGN_QA_2026-09.md; the per-section appendices under docs/design-qa/ carry the code excerpts.

Why it matters. The review sheet opens at five stars with "Great night" and Post enabled; the wizard puts helper text under every field and a banner on five of nine steps; every rail says "See all" regardless of size; one eyebrow sits over sixteen rows and another over one; the paywall centres seven paragraphs.

Fix direction. Start the review at zero; helper text only where the field needs it; banners only for a state; "See all" only past the rail's width; left-align what the section left-aligns.

Findings (8: P1 ×1, P2 ×4, P3 ×3)

• F-BN-02 (P1) — Review sheet opens pre-rated five stars, "Great night"
  • Screens: 20, 98
  • Where: feature/booking/ReviewSheet.kt:87-95 (rating: Int = 5); :254-269; :391-397
  • Fix: start at rating = 0 (all stars hairline, no word under them) and keep PrimaryButton disabled until a star is tapped.
• F-BN-13 (P2) — The review sheet is titled twice and fronted by a stock person glyph
  • Screens: 20, 98
  • Where: feature/booking/ReviewSheet.kt:206-241
  • Fix: pass the cover into the sheet and draw the act's photo in that disc (initials disc as the fallback, as IdentityCard already does); drop one of the two titles.
• F-GS-14 (P3) — Banners stack (up to three) and five screens carry a permanent explanatory Note
  • Screens: 12, 28, 29, 71, 11, 119, 62
  • Where: feature/signup/SignupAuthScreen.kt:150, :215, :228; feature/signup/EmailSignUpScreen.kt:234, :242, :251; feature/signup/ProfileScreen.kt:132, :290, :298; feature/signup/RoleScreen.kt:94, :130; feature/signup/EnterCodeScreen.kt
  • Fix: One banner slot per screen (Failure > Info > Note precedence); demote the permanent Notes to a caption line or delete them.
• F-DS-23 (P3) — "See all" on every rail regardless of size
  • Screens: 02
  • Where: feature/discover/DiscoverScreen.kt:360-365; feature/discover/DiscoverViewModel.kt:368-370
  • Fix: actionLabel = "See all".takeIf { rail.artists.size > 2 } (or a minimum rail size of 3 in the ViewModel).
• F-WZ-11 (P2) — Helper text under every field, and an explanatory Banner on five of nine steps
  • Screens: 42, 37, 38, 24, 43
  • Where: WizardMediaSteps.kt:400,411,422,475 and :427-436; WizardFormSteps.kt:100-112, :222-241, :270-283; WizardMediaSteps.kt:498-509
  • Fix: keep the helper only where it teaches something the hint cannot (Spotify's "Profile → Share"), cut the info Banners on Identity and Bio, and settle one rule for Banner-title punctuation.
• F-WZ-13 (P3) — The sample row's accent play disc is inert, and diverges from the design system's SampleRow
  • Screens: 44
  • Where: WizardMediaSteps.kt:619-674; peer designsystem/component/SampleRow.kt:54-72
  • Fix: drop the disc to surface2/ink4 (or wire it to the existing SamplePlayback), and rename the private composable so it does not shadow the design-system one.
• F-AC-09 (P2) — The paywall centres seven text blocks; the rest of the section is left-aligned
  • Screens: 25, 91, 92, 93
  • Where: feature/paywall/PaywallScreen.kt:206, :249, :266, :381, :387, :445, :451
  • Fix: keep centring for the single-line CTA footnote if the design draws it that way; left-align the paragraphs and the error line.
• F-AC-13 (P2) — One eyebrow over sixteen rows, another over one
  • Screens: 47, 69
  • Where: feature/profile/AccountScreen.kt:269-280; :283; :296-392
  • Fix: split into the groups the comments already describe — Account / Preferences / Privacy & safety / Support / (unlabelled) destructive tail — each with its own EyebrowLabel and AccountGap.

Acceptance

• Every finding above is closed on the cited lines (or refuted in a comment with the reason).
• ./gradlew :app:assembleDebug, :app:testDebugUnitTest and :app:lintDevDebug green.
• The screens listed above walked on the artistant AVD with the debug harness (RELEASE.md §10) and the fix confirmed visually — this audit was code-grounded, not device-walked.
