**VERDICT: approve**

### Summary

The implementation on `colonyos/fix_the_daemon_monitor_having_two_scrollbars_in_340a4c04f7` is a clean, well-scoped fix for three real usability bugs. Here's what I assessed:

**Completeness**: All 4 functional requirements (FR-1 through FR-4) are implemented. All 5 task groups with subtasks are marked complete. No TODOs or placeholder code.

**Architecture — Every decision is correct**:
- **CSS selector**: `TranscriptView RichLog` → `TranscriptView` — textbook fix for inheritance ≠ containment
- **Auto-scroll**: `auto_scroll=False` to RichLog super — when two systems fight for control, you remove one, not add coordination
- **Async timing**: `_pending_programmatic_clear` flag cleared in `on_scroll_y` — correct concurrent systems thinking
- **Unread indicator**: Uses Textual's built-in `notify()` with a `was_zero` guard so it fires exactly once per scroll-up session
- **Selection hints**: Document Shift+drag, don't fight the framework

**Tests**: 95 TUI tests pass. 16 new unit tests + 7 integration tests covering scroll preservation, End key, monitor mode, CSS properties, and the unread counter lifecycle.

**Scale**: ~53 new lines of production code, ~310 lines of tests. Excellent signal-to-noise ratio.

**Minor findings** (none blocking): `_unread_lines` counts write events not visual lines; Screen `overflow:hidden` is global (may need scoping later); one unit test manually sets state rather than triggering via `on_scroll_y`.
