SURFACE.MOBILE.GALLERY.PHOTOSummary
The photo and the post it becomes, on one screen.

Why it is drawn this way
One screen, merged from two. This was a photo screen followed by a compose screen that showed the same photo again with toggles under it — three taps from the wall to a post, and the middle screen's only unique content was a calorie figure the card already prints.
What is drawn here is exactly what gets handed over. The old first screen showed the picture at 1:1 and the second showed it at the crop it would actually be posted in: two views of one photo, and the first was the one that lied.
The mark has no toggle. Every other line is removable; the mark was never the user's line to remove, and it is visible in the preview before anything is sent.
The next screen is the phone's own share sheet. AskCal has no account on any platform and cannot post for anyone — see local-photos.
Empty — every field off
The state that proves the toggles mean something. With every field off the band is gone along with the text it existed to carry.
No gradient. The gradient exists to make writing legible over a picture; with nothing to make legible it would be a grey bar sitting on someone's lunch for no reason.
The mark stays, as a corner chip.
