+# PR_26159_034 Colors Picker Duplicate Cleanup Report
+
+## Summary
+
+Implemented the Colors picker duplicate cleanup:
+- Removed the bottom `Already in Project (#)` picker section.
+- Removed the `Include already in Project swatches` checkbox and explanatory paragraph.
+- Kept already-in-project picker swatches visible in their original grid positions and true colors.
+- Removed the pin/add marker from already-in-project picker swatches only.
+- Kept duplicate add-click blocked without native disabled state, gray-out, opacity changes, or not-allowed cursor.
+- Moved the available count label below the picker grid.
+- Preserved key-based, Symbol-free active Colors validation.
+
+Playwright impacted: Yes.
+
+## PR_025 Diff Findings Summary
+
+From `docs_build/dev/reports/colors_pr025_vs_current.md`:
+- PR_025 used Symbol exhaustion to disable generated cells.
+- The available/unavailable split was introduced later, not in PR_025.
+- Uneven columns came from filtering available and unavailable arrays before rendering rows.
+- The Symbol regression is stale/remaining validation state or active validator drift, not current scoped Colors source.
+
+## Requirement Checklist
+
+| Requirement | Status | Evidence |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Read `docs_build/dev/PROJECT_INSTRUCTIONS.md` first | PASS | Read before edits. |
+| Use PR_26159_033 diff report as source context | PASS | Report findings summarized above and used to remove the later split renderer instead of restoring Symbol-era PR_025 behavior. |
+| Remove `Already in Project (#)` section and supporting bottom-section code | PASS | `toolbox/colors/colors.js` removes `createPickerGroupLabel`, `createPickerGridPlaceholder`, `appendPickerGroupRows`, unavailable group rendering, and `data-palette-picker-group` rows. |
+| Remove `Include already in Project swatches` checkbox and explanatory text | PASS | `toolbox/colors/index.html` removes `data-palette-include-already-project-swatches` and `data-palette-picker-disabled-reason`; `toolbox/colors/colors.js` removes related state/listener. |
+| Keep already-in-project swatches visible in Picker Swatches | PASS | Single grid renderer now renders every generated swatch in-place through `appendPickerRows`. |
+| Remove pin/add marker only for already-in-project swatches | PASS | `createGeneratorPreviewInput` appends `createPinIndicator` only when `options.available !== false`; Playwright verifies duplicate swatch has no `[data-palette-pin-indicator]`. |
+| Do not gray out already-in-project or duplicate swatches | PASS | Duplicate swatches are not disabled; Playwright verifies opacity remains `1`. |
+| Do not alter displayed color | PASS | Playwright verifies duplicate swatch color input value matches the generated hex. |
+| Do not show red dot/not-allowed cursor | PASS | Duplicate swatches have no pin indicator and Playwright verifies cursor is not `not-allowed`. |
+| Disable only add click for already-in-project/duplicate swatches | PASS | Click handler blocks when `data-palette-generator-unavailable="true"`; Playwright verifies count does not increase after duplicate click. |
+| Move `Available Picker Swatches (#)` label under picker grid | PASS | `toolbox/colors/index.html` keeps `data-palette-generator-preview-status` below the grid; `renderPaletteGeneratorPreview` writes `Available Picker Swatches (${availableCount})`. |
+| Allow `palette-generator-preview-row` to use available horizontal and vertical space | PASS | Existing Theme V2 flex row is preserved; Playwright verifies row width matches preview width and row heights fill preview height. |
+| Permanently fix active Symbol validation/state/schema/seed references | PASS | Active Colors/palette-browser scoped grep found no `Enter a symbol`, `requireSymbol`, `swatchSymbol`, `paletteGeneratorSymbol`, `data-palette-symbol`, `palette-symbol`, or `"symbol":` in active Colors repository/schema/seed/API paths. |
+| Reseed/fresh reload must not restore Symbol requirement | PASS | Targeted Playwright opens fresh pages/server state and repository test validates symbol-free payloads and lifecycle add/update/remove/pin/unpin. |
+| Add/remove/pin/unpin/update/clear work without Symbol | PASS | `PaletteToolMockRepository.spec.mjs` repository lifecycle and UI tests passed. |
+| Validate no `Already in Project` section exists | PASS | Playwright asserts unavailable group labels are absent. |
+| Validate no Include checkbox/text exists | PASS | Playwright asserts checkbox and disabled-reason paragraph are absent. |
+| Validate already-in-project swatches remain visible with true color | PASS | Playwright verifies duplicate swatch remains in grid and color value matches generated hex. |
+| Validate available swatches still add | PASS | Playwright adds available picker swatches and verifies Project Swatches count increases. |
+| Validate no console errors | PASS | Targeted Playwright uses `expectNoPageFailures`; all tests passed. |
+| Do not run full samples validation | PASS | Full samples skipped; no sample/shared loader changed. |
+
+## Symbol Cleanup Notes
+
+Active Colors and palette-browser validation are key-based:
+- `toolbox/colors/colors.js`
+- `toolbox/colors/index.html`
+- `src/dev-runtime/persistence/tool-repositories/palette-workspace-repository.js`
+- `src/shared/schemas/tools/palette-browser.schema.json`
+- `src/dev-runtime/guest-seeds/palette-source-mock-db.js`
+- `src/dev-runtime/persistence/mock-db-store.js`
+- `src/dev-runtime/server/mock-api-router.mjs`
+- `tests/playwright/tools/PaletteToolMockRepository.spec.mjs`
+
+Known excluded legacy/reference Symbol hits:
+- `src/engine/paletteList.js` contains legacy symbol-coded palette lists and is not active Colors `tools.palette-browser.swatches` validation.
+- `tests/tools/PaletteManagerV2Baseline.test.mjs` covers the older Palette Manager V2 baseline, not current Colors.
+- Archived V1/V2 and historical report files contain Symbol references by design and were not modified.
+
+## Validation
+
+Commands run:
+- `node --check toolbox/colors/colors.js`
+- `node --check toolbox/colors/palette-api-client.js`
+- `node --check tests/playwright/tools/PaletteToolMockRepository.spec.mjs`
+- `node --check src/dev-runtime/persistence/tool-repositories/palette-workspace-repository.js`
+- `npx playwright test tests/playwright/tools/PaletteToolMockRepository.spec.mjs`
+- `git diff --check`
+- Static grep checks for removed picker split/checkbox references and active Symbol validation drift.
+
+Results:
+- PASS: JS syntax checks passed.
+- PASS: Palette Tool targeted Playwright passed, 7/7 tests.
+- PASS: `git diff --check` passed.
+- PASS: Active Symbol validation drift scan passed.
+
+Notes:
+- Playwright emitted Node experimental SQLite warnings and seed-only audit fallback diagnostics; these are existing diagnostic output and did not fail the targeted lane.
+
+## Skipped Lanes
+
+| Lane | Status | Reason |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Full samples validation | SKIPPED | No samples, shared sample loader, or sample framework changed. |
+| Full Playwright suite | SKIPPED | Requested scope affects Colors picker and palette-browser validation only; targeted Palette Tool Playwright covers impacted behavior. |
+| V8 coverage report | SKIPPED | Not requested for this PR. |
