 - **Tap-to-place makes a one-plant plop** (radius = spacing/2, per the handoff);
   "Fill the bed" (rows / clumps) is the bulk tool. Fill geometry still follows
   the clump rules below — different tools, not a conflict.
+- **The canvas captures the pointer, so `onDoubleClick` on a bed never fires.**
+  `track()` calls `setPointerCapture` on the SVG root for every press, and
+  capture retargets the compatibility `click`/`dblclick` to the root. Double
+  presses are detected in `objDown` (same object, < 400 ms, < 12 px) instead;
+  a `dblclick` handler on an object is dead code — it was, silently, from the
+  Organic rebuild until 2026-08-23.
 - **Undo in the header re-reads history before reverting.** The cached list
   trails the canvas right after a placement, and undoing the step *before* the
   one you meant is the worst thing an undo button can do. Keep it that way.
