broadcasts nothing, so it reaches this user and no one else. This argument
arrived as `edit_or_drill`'s, i.e. about `i`/`a` on an aggregate, and for a

refuse, and **they name the same missing feature in the same words** —
`not_yet("drill")` — because they reach the same one. In the TUI,
`EditOrDrill` hands an aggregate straight to `DrillIntoCell`, so an aggregate
*is* writable there, by drilling; `i` on it is drill by another door. `i`'s
sentence adds only *why* it drilled rather than edited ("an aggregate is
edited by drilling in — …"), and `>` still says nothing about aggregates,
because it is refused whatever the cell is.
This **reverses** what this bullet said until improvise-s8h7: that the two
refused with different sentences on purpose, "this key is not built yet"
against "this cell is not yours to write". The second half was false about
the application — nothing refuses a write to an aggregate; the TUI drills —
and the separate wording hid from a browser user that `i` and `>` were one
missing feature. The help page's `edit-or-drill` caption carried the same
error, calling `i` only "Edit current cell"; it now says it drills into an
aggregate, which is true in both front ends because the browser's refusal
names drill. Delivering drill is `improvise-obtu`'s, not this bullet's.

### the_drill_key_and_an_aggregate_edit_refuse_for_different_reasons
### an_aggregate_edit_names_the_same_missing_drill_as_the_drill_key
The Rust half of the interim, and the assertion that carries the whole weight.
Two keys on the same aggregate cell must both refuse and must **not** refuse
with the same sentence: `>` says drill is unavailable, `i` says drilling into an
aggregate needs the host. Collapsing them into one message would be the
tempting tidy-up and would lose the distinction between "this key does nothing
here yet" and "this cell is not one you may write".
improvise-s8h7. Until it, this test was
`the_drill_key_and_an_aggregate_edit_refuse_for_different_reasons` and asserted
the opposite: that `i` and `>` on an aggregate must refuse with *different*
sentences, "this key does nothing here yet" against "this cell is not one you
may write". The second half was false about the application. `EditOrDrill`
hands an aggregated cell to `DrillIntoCell`, so in the TUI `i` on an aggregate
**is** drill — nothing refuses the write, it drills — and the browser's
separate wording ("drilling into an aggregate needs the host") hid that `i` and
`>` are one missing feature. The reasoning is `context/code/clients.md`.
**The injection, and why it is not the obvious one.** Replacing `>`'s sentence
with the *aggregate* sentence looks like it should fail on the first assertion —
and does not: that sentence contains both "drill" and "browser", so it clears
the substring check. What fires is the anti-aggregate assertion lower down. The
claim that the second assertion is the load-bearing one was doubted on review,
tested, and confirmed; record it here because the first assertion reads like the
discriminating one and is not.
So the test now asserts four things on one aggregate fixture: `>` names drill
and the browser; `>` does **not** mention aggregates (it is refused whatever the
cell is); `i`'s sentence **contains** `>`'s sentence verbatim; and `i`'s
sentence mentions "aggregate", so it still says why it drilled rather than
edited. The fixture is `client_on(CellId::Aggregate(..))` rather than the old
empty `in_mode` state, because `i` needs a cell under the cursor to reach the
`Aggregate` arm at all — on an empty grid it answers nothing and only `>` was
ever exercised.
The harness sibling (`drill.spec.js`) asserts the same distinction in a browser,
but its `not.toContainText("aggregate")` is **decoration under the only
injection that exists** — Playwright throws at the positive assertion above it
first, so that line is never reached. The Rust assertion is the guard; the
harness one is end-to-end confirmation that the string survives the wire.
**Three injections, each failing at a different assertion.** Run, not reasoned:
- `i` says only `not_yet("drill")` — the "why" dropped. Fails at the last
assertion, "and `i` must still say why". This is the tempting over-tidy fix.
- `>`'s `declined` subject becomes "drilling into an aggregate". Fails at the
anti-aggregate assertion on `>`. Note that `i` still contains `>`'s *old*
sentence here, because `edit_or_drill` calls `not_yet("drill")` itself rather
than going through `declined` — so the containment assertion alone would not
have caught a `>` that started blaming the cell.
- `i` paraphrases ("… drill needs the host"). Fails at the containment
assertion: the same feature named in different words is exactly what the
ticket reported.
The harness sibling (`drill.spec.js`) asserts the same wording in a browser.
Its `not.toContainText("aggregate")` on `>` is still **decoration under the
only injection that exists** — Playwright throws at the positive assertion
above it first — so the Rust assertion is the guard and the harness is
end-to-end confirmation that the string survives the wire.
### the_edit_key_row_says_it_drills_into_an_aggregate
improvise-s8h7, the help-page half. The `edit-or-drill` row on the Editing page
read "Edit current cell", while `i`/`a` on an aggregate drill in the TUI and
name drill in the browser. The row is found by its **keys** — the labels
`keys_for(Normal, "edit-or-drill", ["editing"])` returns — not by its caption,
and exactly one row must carry them, so a caption fix that also moved or
duplicated the row fails on the `let [..]` pattern rather than passing on
whichever copy was found first. Failed at HEAD on the caption; the injection
"Edit current cell, or drill" (drill named, aggregate not) fails it too, since
`>` is also drill and the row must say *when* `i` drills.
### only_the_edit_key_is_captioned_as_editing_the_cell
Found while fixing improvise-s8h7, not predicted by it. The row below the edit
key read `Enter Edit current cell (same as i)`, but Normal-mode Enter is bound
to `enter-advance` alone — not a `Binding::Sequence` — and `EnterAdvance` only
moves the cursor down, wrapping to the next column. The test takes every help
row captioned "Edit current cell" and requires its keys to be a subset of
`edit-or-drill`'s; at HEAD it failed naming `["Enter"]`. The fix moved the row
to the Navigation page's "Cursor movement" section with a caption that says
what it does.
Its reach is stated rather than implied: it checks the one phrase that was
false. A caption that misdescribes Enter in *other* words passes it: a caption
is prose, and nothing checks it against the command it documents. That is a
neighbour of improvise-wk18, not the same gap — wk18 is about `literal()` rows
whose *keys* go unchecked; here the keys were right and the words were wrong.
