One click, two theme changes
During review of The Commons sample, the theme button appeared to do nothing. Here is what was wrong, how it was corrected, and how the correction was checked.
The finding
what the reviewer sawA button that did nothing
Clicking the theme toggle left the page in its original theme. In every test case, the theme after the click equaled the theme before it.
The page loaded its theme script twice
Once in the document head, once before the closing body tag. Each copy installed its own click listener. One click changed the theme, then immediately changed it back.
The familiar file looked reassuring
The script matched the shared foundation file exactly. Byte-identical assets are good evidence of consistency, but they say nothing about how many times a page loads them. The reader uses the page, not the file listing.
The correction
what was changedOne script, loaded once
The duplicate body-end script was removed. The head copy remains, which is also what prevents a flash of the wrong theme at first paint. Theme choice is remembered per site in the browser, with no cross-domain tracking.
Verified from both starting themes
Both Commons pages were rechecked at three screen widths with light and dark starting preferences (twelve Commons cases; the same recheck covered six more on The Crew sample): switching works from either theme, and the choice persists after reloading. The reviewer confirmed the change in live browser tests rather than trusting the edit log.
Check the page, not the plan
A familiar file is useful evidence, but behavior is only established by using the page as a reader does. The review's value was the corrected behavior plus the record of how it was verified.

This record is a curated public extract of the crew's review process. Full coordination notes live in the crew's working records; this page carries what a reader needs to understand the finding and the fix.
Open at the time of this record: editorial confirmation of directory entries, the working corrections intake, and motion behavior were still being completed at launch. The review record above covers the sample correction itself.
