-### ⏳ TASK 4.1: Auto-Scaling Badge Text v2 — IN PROGRESS (2026-03-12)
-**Files created:**
-- `src/lib/elements/action_fit_text.ts` — Svelte action: binary-search font scaling with
-  MutationObserver + ResizeObserver + requestAnimationFrame.
-- `src/lib/elements/element_fit_text.svelte` — Component wrapper. Key prop: `height` (required
-  for binary search to work — without it, offsetHeight == scrollHeight always).
-- `src/routes/events/.../ae_comp__badge_obj_view_v2.svelte` — V2 badge render using
-  Element_fit_text for name/title/affiliations/location in display mode.
-  `fit_heights` derived object provides layout-aware heights per field per badge layout.
-  `font_size_*` props default to `undefined` (auto-scale) rather than numeric defaults (v1 behavior).
-  Manual overrides from print controls still work — any number disables auto-scale for that field.
+### ✅ TASK 4.1: Auto-Scaling Badge Text v2 — COMPLETE (2026-03-12)
+**Files created/updated:**
+- `src/lib/elements/action_fit_text.ts` — Svelte action
+- `src/lib/elements/element_fit_text.svelte` — Component wrapper
+- `src/routes/events/.../ae_comp__badge_obj_view_v2.svelte` — V2 badge render (canonical)
+  Debug blocks gated behind `$ae_loc.edit_mode` (hidden in production).
+- `print/+page.svelte` — Always uses v2 now. v1/v2 toggle removed. Header redesigned for kiosk UX.
+- `ae_comp__badge_print_controls.svelte` — Identity card at top, pronouns moved to attendee section,
+  "Staff adjustments" divider before badge_type field.
+- `print_list/+page.svelte` — Updated to import v2.
+- `ae_comp__badge_obj_view.svelte` (v1) — **Moved to ~/tmp/gemini_trash/**
 
-**Toggle:** `v1`/`v2` button in print page header. V1 preserved as fallback.
-**Status:** Working — heights in `fit_heights` still need visual tuning with real badge stock.
+**Kiosk UX improvements (2026-03-12):**
+- Print page header: cleaner, shows name + "Ready"/"Printed N×" status chip, event name.
+  Header Print Now button removed (duplicate); only Re-print shortcut visible in trusted+edit mode.
+- Controls right panel: identity card at top confirms who the badge belongs to before printing.
+  Pronouns field is now an attendee-level field (was trusted-only). Staff section labelled.
+- Debug JSON blocks in v2 badge render hidden behind global edit_mode flag.
 
 ### ✅ TASK 3: Badge Print Controls Panel — COMPLETE (2026-03-02)
