The wall-framing takeoff siding card has had vertical boards, battens over each seam, and head-and-jamb trim boards since 2026-10-30. Until now those page fields were only tested by reading the source. This run clicks them in Chromium: opening trim on, vertical style, battens on, prices typed, then the card text and the saved plan are checked.

The click test first failed, for a good reason. A starter strip was still ticked from the earlier lap-siding step, and the engine refuses a starter strip with vertical boards ("vertical boards need none"). The page showed that message instead of the card. The test now turns the starter off before switching style.

These are still arithmetic from typed figures, not checked against a real siding order. Confirm board lengths, reveal and trim widths with your supplier.
