# M16-GAP-00259 Status

status: done
task: armature.shortest_path_pick operator LOCAL_EXACT slice
updated: 2026-08-23 America/New_York

scope:

- The minimal fixture contains a selected connected three-bone chain and one
  unrelated unselected bone. Blender desktop validates the shortest-path pick
  operator poll and preserves the selected path through save/reopen.
- WASM/Main reads the same fixture. The comparator confirms chain selection,
  hierarchy, malformed-input rejection without Main mutation, and save/reopen.

evidence:

- Fixture generation, desktop checker, npm comparator, and direct comparator
  passed. The fixture is already at the operator's postcondition, so the
  desktop operator status is `SKIPPED_ALREADY_APPLIED`; Chromium-only policy
  was preserved and no Firefox/WebKit run was made.
