An LED panel has no partial brightness. PIL defaults ImageDraw's fontmode to "L", which anti-aliases TrueType glyphs into a grey fringe the panel can only round off -- a 4px glyph arrives smeared into 3px. DisplayManager creates its shared `draw` in six places and set fontmode at none of them, while _load_fonts loads extra_small_font as 4x6-font.ttf at size 6. Measured at draw time, that face at that size puts 74% of its lit pixels at partial coverage. Every plugin drawing small text through the shared draw inherited the blur; geochron was the case that surfaced it. The harness's VisualDisplayManager had the same gap, which mattered more than it looks: goldens were recording anti-aliased text that production would not produce, so the harness could not have caught this. Fixing only production left geochron still blurry under the harness -- that is how the second site was found. Both are set to "1" so the harness renders what the panel renders.
