DietrichGebertandClaude Opus 4.8 ff5d0936be docs: sweep em dashes out of the active published surface (#180)
Em dashes crept back into examples, docs/platform-native.md, several READMEs,
the ponytail-debt skill, and a command file since 88431de. Replaced with plain
punctuation (commas, matching the house convention), .openclaw mirror
regenerated. Follows 88431de's scope: leaves untouched the vendored caveman
SKILL.md and the dated benchmarks/results/ writeups (historical records).

# Modal Dialog
**Task:** "Add a modal dialog for the delete confirmation."
## Without Ponytail
```bash
npm install @radix-ui/react-dialog
# or: npm install react-modal
```
```jsx
import * as Dialog from "@radix-ui/react-dialog";
import { useState } from "react";
export function DeleteModal({ onConfirm, onCancel }) {
return (
<Dialog.Root>
<Dialog.Trigger asChild>
<button className="btn-danger">Delete</button>
</Dialog.Trigger>
<Dialog.Portal>
<Dialog.Overlay className="dialog-overlay" />
<Dialog.Content className="dialog-content">
<Dialog.Title>Confirm deletion</Dialog.Title>
<Dialog.Description>This action cannot be undone.</Dialog.Description>
<div className="dialog-actions">
<Dialog.Close asChild>
<button onClick={onCancel}>Cancel</button>
</Dialog.Close>
<button className="btn-danger" onClick={onConfirm}>Delete</button>
</div>
</Dialog.Content>
</Dialog.Portal>
</Dialog.Root>
);
}
```
A dependency, a portal, an overlay, a root, a trigger, a content wrapper, to show a box with two buttons.
## With Ponytail
```html
<!-- ponytail: browser has one, with focus trapping and backdrop built in -->
<dialog id="confirm-delete">
<p>This action cannot be undone.</p>
<button id="cancel">Cancel</button>
<button id="confirm">Delete</button>
</dialog>
```
```js
const dialog = document.getElementById("confirm-delete");
document.getElementById("cancel").onclick = () => dialog.close();
document.getElementById("confirm").onclick = () => { onConfirm(); dialog.close(); };
// Open it:
dialog.showModal();
```
**1 dependency + 30 lines → 0 dependencies + 8 lines.** The native `<dialog>` traps focus automatically, closes on Escape, renders a backdrop via `::backdrop`, and is accessible by default. All browsers since 2022. The library was solving a problem the platform solved.
