Summary

Keep the cold-start loading presentation until the bounded initial Timeline feed is complete and the native list has completed its first valid viewport layout. Previously, the first incremental complete=false feed could reveal the Timeline while rows and child previews were still arriving.

• Do not mark the initial feed loaded until complete=true; keep already-presented content visible during later refreshes.
• Mount the native list behind the existing loading surface and reveal it on its layout-ready callback. Preserve the shared spinner grace period.
• Allow an empty viewport to complete the handshake. Scope the cover to the first GraphPages presentation so later routes, refreshes, and pagination are not covered.
• Add regression coverage for an incomplete initial prefix and native presentation ownership/cancellation.

The gate waits for the bounded initial feed, not the full graph, later pagination, or remote media downloads.

Validation

Validated the exact five-file patch in commit ee6341cb39daf91c3d400367d604b5e26e294760 (patch SHA256 fdaa02e9833466ecb2e1a6ede459c27f50b2bc23dbfe1ed005149313733dcaf5). Its parent is 7b180041ae829f84f0452b7684f167e829909206; subsequent main changes at publication are documentation-only and do not overlap this patch.

• Initial-feed regression: failed before the fix, passed after the fix.
• Native presentation owner regressions: RED/GREEN using a focused harness compiled from the production owner and assertions. The full native-list GUI test binary was not run.
• opam exec --switch logseq-journal-lui -- dune build @all app/native_embed.exe.o: passed.
• opam exec --switch logseq-journal-lui -- dune runtest --force: passed.
• Swift frontend parse, python3 tool/test_graph_name.py, and git diff --check: passed.
• Official native producer and iOS simulator build: passed.
• Dedicated iPhone 13 / iOS 26.1 simulator with synthetic fixtures: multi-day feed with resolved references and child previews, truly empty feed, missing-key recovery, and background/foreground after first layout all passed. In the recording, the first visible content frame already contains the same first-screen text and row positions as the settled frame.
• Independent final code review: no remaining actionable findings.

Boundaries and remaining validation

• Interrupting startup by changing its owner, leaving the visible route, or backgrounding retires the initial native cover. A launch interrupted before first layout does not retain the same layout-wait guarantee on return. This avoids stranding routes such as Favorites that do not own the Timeline layout callback.
• Simulator builds use the experimental host-restamp route and explicitly report cross_abi_validated=false. Full iOS runtime ABI, physical-device behavior, and a real-account graph have not been validated.
• spec-dev-tool check --all could not run because the executable is unavailable. No spec or Dune files changed.
• The prepared dependency switch was left unchanged. Missing Git history objects were supplied from existing same-revision cache copies through an isolated, process-local alternate object database; official provenance checks stayed enabled.
