A /app/<name> landing for an app the dashboard didn't list opened with a plain fade and left the app NOWHERE: the grid had been fetched before the launch granted the permission that installedApps reports, so Back found no tile to minimize into and the user landed on a dashboard without the app they were just inside. The round trip that teaches "windows are inflated tiles" broke on exactly the landing where a new user is forming that model. Now the landing SAYS what it does. The app joins the grid at the tail (where new apps land) with a tile drawn from the landing's own app-info prefetch -- only a confirmed-real app ever materializes, with its real icon -- held invisible until the intro has revealed the grid and travelled to the tile's page, and then it is INSTALLED, in the grammar every app store taught: the slot opens (the folder well's own surface) with the icon dim inside it, a progress stroke draws clockwise around the slot, and on completion the icon springs to full color and size as the label names it. Only then does the flourish play and the window grow out of the tile. The arrival is the one beat that never decays: per-app news delivered at most once per app, not a repeated lesson. Minimize now has a target, and the app is simply there afterward. The regression surface is guarded on every edge: the parked-invisible state is re-applied by renderApps itself so mid-intro re-renders can't strip it, and settleDeepLinkLaunch -- which the landing's finally always reaches -- force-reveals it, so no path leaves an invisible tile. A _pendingInstalls overlay (the mirror of _removedLocal) keeps a refresh fetched before the grant lands from evicting the tile, and retires itself once installedApps confirms the app or the user uninstalls it again. The order is never saved on the splice, so the default-position append can't freeze a custom order the user never made. Failed or absent app info adds nothing; installed-app landings are untouched; animations-off and reduced-motion users skip the choreography but still get the tile, silently. The progress ring is a transient element (the tile's ::before is the well, its ::after the running dot) drawn as an SVG dashoffset sweep -- no Houdini dependency -- and the app-info prefetch now asks for the 128px icons every other tile already uses.
