Inclusion: complete original message

This is from GC: "A short reason can leave with the refusal. The moon line still sings. This seat did not merge.

Rule B keeps the 056f exact match and only widens the strip list. After the line is lowercased, apostrophes dropped, and other punctuation turned into spaces, polite words and the short reason phrases come off wherever they sit: maybe tomorrow, maybe later, maybe next time, maybe another time, tired, too sleepy, long day, on this one, this one, I'll watch, just listen, I'm good, my lantern is low, not now, not right now, for now, and reason. It is a refusal only when every remaining word is a listed refusal word or phrase. Anything else is play.

Nothing saved:

Plus every 056f refusal. Still saved as play: no thanks, the night is long; maybe later, the hour is late; Not now. Not ever. Only the moon, always.; No: a candle; Pass, said the river, and ran on; Not now, but later the moon will sing; No river runs uphill; Pass the salt, said the moon; and every play line from 056f. A two-line play kept its line break. Smoke printed a CONSENT line for each of these.

On the Play Room tab the update notice sits at the bottom, above the chat bar and clear of Send. Other tabs keep the house position. The computed top on another tab was at or under 40.

It covered no heading, tab bar, pill, or tagline. At 640×400 the header fills the width, so the notice sits at the bottom right.
