# M16-GAP-00254 Status

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

scope:

- The minimal fixture contains a picked root, two connected descendants, and
  an independent unselected bone. Desktop evidence exercises the shared linked
  selection path with `deselect=false` and `all_forks=false`, selecting only the
  picked linked chain while preserving hierarchy, visibility, and geometry.
- WASM/Main reads the same fixture. The comparator confirms desktop/WASM parity
  and save/reopen stability.

evidence:

- Fixture generation, desktop checker, npm comparator, direct comparator,
  malformed-input negative, save/reopen check, and task-context handoff passed.
- Repeated checker execution is idempotent (`SKIPPED_ALREADY_APPLIED` after
  the first run); Chromium-only policy was preserved and no Firefox/WebKit run
  was made.
