     Neither button is colour-coded (no green "In") -- nobody has answered yet
     at this point (that's the whole reason for the "are you in?" prompt), so
     a green default would misleadingly read as an already-recorded answer.
-    Both are the same neutral steel tone with a shared border/white-Text
-    treatment for readability against the photo backdrop, and via min-w-0,
-    exactly the same width -- flex-1 alone doesn't guarantee that once one

+    The row is CSS grid (grid-cols-2), not flex -- flex-1 alone kept giving
+    "Out" a wider share than "In" in practice (a longer label's own
+    intrinsic content width can still influence a flex item's rendered size
+    even with flex-basis:0, depending on what else is set on it/its
+    children -- min-w-0 didn't fully neutralise it here). Two equal-width
+    `1fr` grid columns don't have that ambiguity: track size is fixed by the
+    grid regardless of content, full stop.
 
     The Out reason step (label + textarea + Cancel/Confirm) is wrapped in one
     bordered/backed panel, same border colour as the In/Out pair -- reads as
-    one cohesive control rather than loose floating text and buttons.
