app.js loads a tab's component once and marks it data-loaded, so the DOM
survives leaving and returning. Nothing cleared the result area, and an
illustration from a previous generation stayed on screen under a blank form as
though it were output for a topic nobody had typed. A full page refresh rebuilt
the component and cleared it, which is why it looked like a leak that fixed
itself.
Cleared at the start of a generation, at the start of a modification, and on
re-entering the tab — not on the first visit, where there is nothing to clear.
Covers the illustration area, the searches line, the image-failure line and the
status text.
Also documented what a modification can actually change. The deck vocabulary is
structural — bullets, compare, table, callout, figure, image, section, title —
and none of those carries a colour; the palette is fixed in render_pptx.py and
the model never sees it. So "make it yellow" lands on the only field that takes
a colour, image_prompt, and yellow figures appear on an otherwise blue deck.
That is not modify reaching only the images; it is the model using the one lever
the schema gives it.
