The kiosk runs full-screen on a wall-mounted display, where the interface sat against the top edge with the rest of the screen empty below it. It now centres as one block, vertically and horizontally. The title was the other half of it: the header was space-between, which reads as centred only on the steps that show the Start over button. On the first step, with no button to balance it, the title sat alone at the left edge of the column. The title is centred and Start over is taken out of the flow so it keeps its corner without shifting the title on the steps that have it. Centring uses `safe center`, with plain `center` as the fallback line. On a screen too short for the content, plain `center` overflows in both directions and the header ends up above the scroll origin, unreachable. `safe` falls back to top-aligned there and the page scrolls normally.

Why the kiosk take endpoint is unauthenticated
POST /api/printedparts/kiosk/take is the product's first open WRITE (every
other kiosk endpoint is a read). Accepted deliberately, against the criteria
in docs/proposals/printedparts-plugin.md:
- Decrement-only: it can reduce stock of an active item, nothing else.
- Fully attributed: it refuses to act without a badge that resolves under the site policy; every action lands in the ledger with SSO + name + time.
- Bounded blast radius: worst case is stock counts driven low - visible in the ledger and reversible with an adjust.
- Physically rate-limited: it serves a touch screen on the shop floor; nothing enumerable, nothing worth scraping.
Any future open-write endpoint must clear the same bar.
