+### Reserving room for data that has not arrived
+
+In a column with a viewport height, anything that grows moves everything below
+it, and a panel that grows by a third of the screen is the whole layout-shift
+budget on its own. So a block that will be filled from the network reserves its
+room before the answer arrives, and the loading state fills that same box.
+
+The reservation needs one height, and states that carry different content do
+not have one by default. The transaction tracker is the worked example. Its
+rows under the tracker bar settle at two sizes: a pending transaction shows a
+first-seen time and an ETA, one line each; a confirmed one shows a timestamp
+whose relative time goes to a second line below 992px, and a confirmation count
+that is a button rather than a line of text. Reserving the smaller trades one
+shift for another.
+
+The rule that follows: give the row the reservation, not the block. Every row
+in that panel is two lines of value tall, because the tallest of them is, so
+both settled states are 4.5em a row, the block holds 9em with nothing in it,
+and skeleton rows fill it while the transaction is being read. Nothing moves
+when the answer arrives, and nothing moves again if a watched transaction
+confirms. Rows taller than their content centre it, because a reservation that
+shows as a gap under the text reads as a mistake.

+| cumulative layout shift | 0.1 | mostly the stylesheet, and the load can only add to it |
 
 The eager payload is runtime, polyfills, main and styles: what a browser must
 have before the shell exists. Measured at `bea93c1ec`, develop was 463kB
 compressed and 1655kB raw; with the mobile work it is 464kB and 1659kB. The
 ceiling is set where a real regression trips it and ordinary drift does not.
 Raise it deliberately, and say what bought the bytes.
 
+Layout shift is less deterministic than a stylesheet property sounds. The same
+tree measured 0.042, 0.046 and 0.069 on the blocks route across three machines,
+because a busier machine delivers content later and a shift that lands after
+the first paint counts while the same shift before it does not. Load can only
+add shifts, never remove one, so a route over its ceiling is measured again, up
+to twice, and judged on the smallest reading. The table says when a route was
+measured more than once, because a gate that quietly retries until it passes is
+worse than one that fails.
+
 Largest contentful paint is printed and not gated. The 2.5 second target is a
 field number for a real device on a real network, and this is a throttled
 headless browser on a runner that is also building and serving. The same commit
 measured twelve seconds and twenty on two routes whose shells are identical. A
 number that swings by eight seconds between runs of the same code cannot gate
 anything; used as one it fails honest changes and passes slow ones depending on
-what else the machine is doing. What is still failed is a paint that never
-happens, which is a shell that did not render rather than one that rendered
-slowly.
-
-One route is over the layout budget for a reason that is written down rather
-than hidden. On the transaction route, at about three seconds, `div.panel`
-grows from 46 to 193 pixels as the tracker bar and the confirmations render
-into it, pushing `div.bottom-panel` down 148 pixels. That is 0.103 of shift,
-measured on develop before this work and 0.108 after. It is recorded with its
-figure and printed every run, and the route is held to that figure, so drifting
-further fails even while it is over. Reserving the room means knowing the
-panel's height before the transaction is read, and it is not one height: an
-alert, a tracker bar and a confirmation count are three different sizes. That
-is work on the tracker's loading design, not on the shell.
+what else the machine is doing. The paint is waited for rather than read once,
+and when it still has not arrived the page is asked what is on it: a screenful
+of text with no paint entry is a measurement problem and is reported as one,
+while a page with nothing on it is the fault the check exists for. That
+distinction does not move with the load.
