 ## Done
 
+- [x] **The bar's Coming soon stamp covered the labels it marked.** It was
+      absolutely positioned and turned 70 degrees across its own label, which
+      made LEADERBOARDS and OBSERVE unreadable at every width in both themes —
+      and once the bar wrapped, the two marks came down on ABOUT and UPDATES on
+      the row underneath, so four labels were illegible and the group rule was
+      left orphaned beside them. Out of the flow is what let a mark land
+      anywhere, so the stamp is in the flow now, under the label, the way the
+      pilot card's tiles already carry it.
+
+      It costs height rather than width — one short line under two of the ten
+      — so the 320px budget is untouched, and the masthead is the same height
+      at 1280px as it was. The label is no longer dimmed either: nothing lies
+      over it, and `--muted` under an opacity is the thing `contrast.test.mjs`
+      exists for. Below 30rem the stamp still steps aside for the dashed
+      underline, which is the only mark that fits down there.
+
+      `soon-stamp.test.mjs` gates it: the rule may not be `position: absolute`
+      and may not translate itself off where the flow put it.

 - [x] **The bar's second filled colour is pinned like the first.** The filled
       link now says Resume on a green fill when the player has a match still
       going, which is a second ink-and-fill pairing — `--on-resume` on
