+- **kiwiPropertyNodes narrowed**: Only nodes whose fills/radius/visible actually differ from component source (was too broad — any NC with fillPaints)
+- **reapplyKiwiProperties failed**: Can't distinguish sync-overwritten from symbolOverride-set fills. Reverted.
+- **1 visibility diff root cause**: Email TEXT 0:3480 stays visible because its source 0:3455 IS in seeds (kiwiPropertyNodes) but 0:3452→0:3477 parent sync never runs (0:3477 gets visited by a different sync path first). Needs BFS/skip decoupling.
 - **Comparison fixes**: independentCorners radius reading, pill-shape tolerance, name-based tree matching
 - **kiwiPropertyNodes**: Nodes with explicit kiwi NC fills/cornerRadius are added to seeds AND protected from sync overwrite
 - **Self-referencing symbolOverride**: When an override resolves to the instance itself, skip if the instance has explicit kiwi NC properties
