1. [correctness] `apps/spinel/app.rb:475` and `:527` — `strip` only removes ASCII whitespace. A title containing only U+00A0 or U+2003 creates a blank-looking todo, and editing to that value does not delete it. Apply Unicode whitespace trimming before the empty-title check.

2. [correctness] `apps/spinel/patches/2-tep-bakeoff.patch:330` — URL decoding turns `%00` into a NUL inside a C string, which is then truncated when copied into Ruby. Posting `title=before%00after` silently stores `before`; editing with `title=%00after` deletes the todo. Preserve decoded string lengths so input cannot silently become a different title or action.

3. [spec] `apps/spinel/Makefile:130` — `clean-deps` deletes only the local SQLite and tep artifacts. The arm64 build still links precompiled OpenSSL, zlib and zstd libraries from the shared toolchain root (`scripts/arm64-cc:21`), so the next build does not compile every third-party library from scratch as required. Build those dependencies into the app’s own cache and include them in `clean-deps`.
