 All notable changes to designmd-pptx are documented here.
 
+## [2.1.2] — 2026-07-15
+
+Residual fixes after Codex **re-verify** of v2.1.1 (still flagged generative body loss,
+placement NaN, Windows uninstall fail-open, methodology honesty).
+
+### Fixed
+- Generative recipe maps preserve card bodies (`title — body`) + `overflow.cards`
+- Placement validation: finite coords, min size, non-empty text, identical-box reject
+- Windows uninstall fail-closed on missing/invalid/mismatched manifest; SHA warn + `DESIGNMD_REQUIRE_OFFICECLI_SHA=1`
+- Generated public benchmark METHODOLOGY honesty banner
+- VS Code shared OutputChannel (no per-command leak)
+- `generate --layout-cmd`; docs: pulse removed; smoke checklist
+
+### Smoke
+- `scripts/smoke-v2.1.1.sh` (version gate 2.1.2) track A PASS on Darwin
+- Windows install + real PPT open: manual (docs/smoke-v2.1.1.md B/C)
+
 ## [2.1.1] — 2026-07-15
 
 Adversarial review follow-up (Codex gpt-5.6-sol@high **BLOCK** findings).

+# Smoke checklist — designmd-pptx v2.1.2
+
+Post-adversarial (Codex BLOCK → 2.1.2 fixes). Two tracks:
+
+1. **Automated local smoke** (any OS with Python 3.10+) — `scripts/smoke-v2.1.2.sh`
+2. **Windows bootstrap smoke** (Windows 10/11 + PowerShell 5.1+) — section B
+3. **PowerPoint / LibreOffice animation smoke** — section C
+
+Exit criteria for “production announce ready”:
+
+| Gate | Pass condition |
+|---|---|
+| A Automated | `scripts/smoke-v2.1.2.sh` exit 0 |
+| B Windows | install → doctor → scaffold → uninstall without leftover product root |
+| C Animation | animate → open in PPT/LO; transitions present; no repair dialog |
+
+---
+
+## A. Automated local smoke
+
+```bash
+# from repo root
+./scripts/smoke-v2.1.2.sh
+# or:
+bash scripts/smoke-v2.1.2.sh
+```
+
+Covers:
+
+- version == 2.1.2 + `npm run check` exact equality
+- unit suite (or fast subset if `SMOKE_FAST=1`)
+- refine multi-slide split stability
+- extract `barDir=col` → column
+- generative overflow preserve + placement reject
+- animation CT_Slide order + force required
+- public synthetic suite (`--public-n 30`) with recipe smoke notes
+- windows installer structural markers (`windows-install --check-script`)
+- VS Code cli.js argv injection resistance (node)
+
+---
+
+## B. Windows bootstrap smoke (manual / VM)
+
+**Host:** clean Windows 10/11 user (no admin required).
+
+```powershell
+# 1) Clone or download Install-DesignmdPptx.ps1 from v2.1.2 tag
+cd path\to\designmd-pptx
+powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File packaging\windows\Install-DesignmdPptx.ps1 -DryRun
+
+# 2) Real install (network: winget/PyPI/GitHub)
+powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File packaging\windows\Install-DesignmdPptx.ps1
+
+# 3) New terminal — shim on PATH
+designmd-pptx --help
+designmd-pptx doctor
+designmd-pptx scaffold default -o $env:TEMP\dmd-smoke --content python\examples\content.deck.json
+
+# 4) Safe-root guard (must FAIL)
+powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File packaging\windows\Install-DesignmdPptx.ps1 `
+  -Uninstall -InstallRoot C:\Windows\Temp\evil
+# expect: InstallRoot must be under ...\designmd-pptx
+
+# 5) Uninstall
+powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File packaging\windows\Install-DesignmdPptx.ps1 -Uninstall
+# product root gone; officecli-official may remain (documented)
+```
+
+Optional integrity:
+
+```powershell
+# If you have the expected tarball hash:
+$env:DESIGNMD_OFFICECLI_SHA256 = "<sha256 of officecli_0.2.117_windows_amd64.tar.gz>"
+powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File packaging\windows\Install-DesignmdPptx.ps1
+```
+
+**Record:** OS build, Python source (existing vs winget), doctor output, any PATH issues.
+
+---
+
+## C. PowerPoint / LibreOffice animation smoke
+
+Requires a materialised `.pptx` (legacy OfficeCLI `apply` or an existing deck).
+
+```bash
+# After scaffold --apply (legacy binary) OR any valid deck.pptx:
+PYTHONPATH=python python -m designmd_pptx animate path/to/deck.pptx \
+  -o /tmp/deck.animated.pptx --entrance fade --transition fade --force
+
+# Inspect OOXML order without Office:
+python - <<'PY'
+import zipfile
+from lxml import etree
+from pathlib import Path
+p = Path("/tmp/deck.animated.pptx")
+with zipfile.ZipFile(p) as z:
+    xml = z.read("ppt/slides/slide1.xml")
+root = etree.fromstring(xml)
+locals_ = [c.tag.split("}")[-1] for c in root]
+print(locals_)
+assert "transition" in locals_ and "timing" in locals_
+assert locals_.index("transition") < locals_.index("timing")
+if "extLst" in locals_:
+    assert locals_.index("timing") < locals_.index("extLst")
+print("order OK")
+PY
+```
+
+**In PowerPoint / LibreOffice Impress:**
+
+1. Open `deck.animated.pptx` — no repair / “unreadable content” dialog.
+2. Slide Show → transitions visible (fade).
+3. Select title shape → Animation pane shows entrance effect (or equivalent).
+4. Save-as new file succeeds.
+
+**In-place force guard:**
+
+```bash
+# must refuse without --force
+PYTHONPATH=python python -m designmd_pptx animate deck.pptx -o deck.pptx --entrance fade
+# expect: error/notes about --force
+```
+
