Minor fixes:
- Improved watch layouts keep timers, grades and recording details fully visible. Long previews may shorten; full notes remain readable across pages. Added simulator checks to catch clipped or overlapping content.
- Grades are now optional free text, with no grade-system selector.
- Missing grades no longer show “?”.
- Watch role names appear in full when space allows.
