+## [2026-09-09] fix | K200L status parser — a fault's "Yes" is wrapped in <FONT color=#ff0000>
+First live run on park-lab (driver `k200l`, LAN, cover open) showed *degraded — unexpected status
+page (missing coverOpen, paperEnd, offline)*: precisely the three Yes cells. Captured the raw page
+with the cover open: the board writes `<FONT color=#ff0000>Yes</FONT>` for a fault and a bare
+padded `No` otherwise; the parser accepted only tag-free cells. Fix: cell text is read with inner
+tags stripped (row-anchored regex); tests pin the verbatim markup plus other shapes (devices 79).
+Live after the fix: degraded "cover open, paper out, printer off-line"; closed → ready. User:
+"we are good using the network with this printer." Also: park-lab Periphery was "not loaded"
