`UDPSCOPE_PROBE_SIDE_TAB_MS` is the one reading for the design's §5 rule -- the statistics
accumulator keeps running on the hidden page -- which nothing tested before. It switches to
Measure, forces one pass so there is a baseline, switches away to Signals and reads again two
seconds later: `advanced=4` is the assertion, and `advanced=0` is the defect where the
accumulation is gated on the visible tab, which would leave a gap in min/max/avg for exactly as
long as the trigger was on screen.
Two things the probe has to do for itself, and getting either wrong makes `advanced=0` a lie
about the tab:
- it **enables its own signal**, because a signal starts disabled (enabling is what starts
acquisition) and a probe that waited for one to be on would be reading another probe's side
effects -- and `UDPSCOPE_ENABLE_ALL_MS` is not part of this run;
- it **assigns that channel to a plot**, because a channel with no trace leaves the live window
*still*, and a still window is precisely the state `update_measures()` is supposed to skip.
Measured the hard way: without the assignment the probe read `advanced=0 min_n=0` with the view
pinned and only four passes in twelve seconds, none of them the tab's doing.
Docs: `probe-readings.md` gains the probe's entry and the signals panel's new shape
(`rows == signals + 1 + math`, `divider=0` a list that lost its `+`), loses the whole `math
panel:` entry, and follows `pane_sensitive=`, the gone `revealed=` field, the six toolbar
controls and the tab-reading `m`/`g` key pairs. `verification.md` gains the probe's bullet and
the re-measured warning figures. The invariants record the sidebar as a switcher above a stack
with a scroller per page, the hidden-page trap that replaces the unrevealed-revealer one for it,
that a feature's on/off is sensitivity rather than visibility, that a math channel is a row of
the signal list, and that a cursors-off readout blanks to `--` with the panel left on screen.
`shortcuts.ui` and the help page's window and sidebar bullets stop describing five revealers.
The README records the deviation from `SPECS.md` that names the panes as separate collapsible
sections.
Verified: `[side-tab-probe] page=signals rows=4 accums=4 advanced=4 min_n=16`;
`signals panel: labels=2 list=1 rows=9 signals=4 math=4 divider=1`; `panels: … (page_current=1)
(sensitive=0) switcher=1`; `toolbar icons:` six controls with every name `(ok)`, with the
Preferences dialog opened in the same run; zero `Gtk-CRITICAL` and no missing icon.
Three asked-for changes, one commit because they are one coordinate system.
The live axis is a fixed [-window, 0] with the newest sample at 0, so x reads
as an age and the labels stand still while the trace rolls under them. That
makes the display clock distinct from the stream clock for the first time, so
`ScopeModel::stream_at_x0()` becomes the single conversion between them
(`display_x = stream_t - stream_at_x0()` in all four modes) and a snapshot
carries its own origin in `EventSnapshot::x_offset`. The pause view is now
rebased like an event's, reversing an earlier deliberate choice: a frozen
absolute-stamped picture would sit a whole uptime right of a newest-relative
axis. That also fixed a latent bug, the export adding `trigger_time()` to a
*paused* view's stamps.
The status bar says how long you have been paused -- wall time, since the
producer never stops, through `format_elapsed()` so the field cannot widen.
The export writes two time columns: `time`, the axis as displayed, and
`abs_seconds`, the stream's own clock for the same sample. f64 seconds and
not the wire's integer, because `udps_frame_t::values` is a `const double*`
and the integer never exists in this process.
Cursors and measurement marks move in opposite directions under the rolling
axis, deliberately: a cursor is a position on screen and stays put, a mark
names a sample and travels with it. `App::measure_window` is stream-clocked
for a sharper reason -- a display-coordinate live window never moves, so the
"the window moved" recompute would never fire again.
Moves the deps/plotter pin to 58473db, which stops a time label's mantissa
reaching its own radix: a one-second tick differenced off a live axis read
`1e+3ms`.

The whole-branch review found README describing a toolbar "?" button that
does not exist, Ctrl+? for an overview bound to Ctrl+/, bare `e` for an
export bound to Ctrl+E, and a help window that opens "on the page nearest
to what the user was doing" when it unconditionally selects Overview. All
four would send a reader looking for something that is not there. The key
table also claimed to be full while omitting F1, Ctrl+/ and Ctrl+Q, and
did not say that `f` is the plot's own key rather than an app accelerator.
format_rate() is %.3g, so it prints "10 kS/s"; the two doc comments in
status_text.hpp and the example in help page 01 still said "10.0 kS/s" —
the same error already corrected in 14-status.txt and CLAUDE.md, left in
the header that declares the function and in a second user-facing page.
close_help_windows()'s comment described only gtk_window_close(), and
show_shortcuts()'s called the overview "hand-rolled"; the Adwaita rework
made one half-true and the other false.

The pages are Pango markup in a GResource, bundled for the same reason the icons
are: udpscope runs straight out of the build tree with no install step, so a
runtime search path's failure mode would be a silently empty help window.
--c-name=udpscope_help keeps the two generated bundles from colliding.
Every page is validated with pango_parse_markup() at load and falls back to a
one-line stand-in rather than rendering raw markup or nothing. show_help() reuses
help_window.cpp's existing close-request handler, and closes via
gtk_window_close() so that handler runs and the pointer is nulled.
UDPSCOPE_PROBE_HELP_MS loads and validates every page, opens the help and About
windows, closes both and reports; parsed must equal pages.
