applet rows: hover + click-lock highlight on every .applet-list-entry.row-3col (My Posts / My Buds / My Notes / My Scrolls / My Games) — bg shifts to --secUser, title to --quiUser (overriding the inherited --terUser link color + stripping the text-shadow the global .applet-list-entry a:hover rule had been baking in), body + ts cells come up from their dimmed 0.6 / 0.5 opacity to full --priUser so the dim middle/right cols pop against the --secUser fill; new apps/applets/static/apps/applets/row-lock.js IIFE module owns the touch-persistence state machine (single _lockedRow ref, .row-locked class toggle): clicking a row not currently locked → locks (clearing any prior lock); clicking the locked row again → unlocks; clicking another row → moves the lock to the new row; clicking anywhere not inside a .row-3col → clears the lock — mirrors the note-page notes-locked click-lock state machine but lighter (no DON/DOFF, no greeting swap, no fetch), one document-level click listener bound once via _bound re-entry guard so beforeEach _init() calls in specs don't pile up handlers; loaded globally via base.html next to applets.js since the rows render on both /billboard/ + /gameboard/; padding-inline 0.5rem + border-radius 0.25rem on the row container shrinks the highlight to a chip shape so hovered rows don't bleed all the way to the applet box edge; 6 Jasmine specs in RowLockSpec.js cover the four state-machine transitions + the "child element of row still locks the parent row" affordance (since the user can tap the body cell text, not just the title link) + the "only one row carries .row-locked at a time" invariant; SpecRunner.html updated (both static_src + the static/ runtime mirror the FT reads from per the project's static-src→static copy discipline) — TDD
