-```
-
-## Manual Validation
-
-- Open `tools/palette-manager-v2/index.html`.
-- Confirm normal layout is unchanged.
-- Click `Hide Header and Details`.
-- Confirm left/right panels anchor to the viewport sides.
-- Confirm center fills the space between them and uses available height.
-- Confirm accordionV2 behavior remains unchanged.
+## Validation Outcome
+- Targeted browser layout check: PASS.
+- `git diff --check`: PASS with Git line-ending warning for `tools/palette-manager-v2/paletteManagerV2.css`.

+# PR_26124_046-right-column-height-balance Report
+
+## Summary
+Updated Palette Manager V2 right-column CSS only. The right panel is now a flex column where Import/Export fills remaining height and Validation/Error Viewer stays capped and scrollable.
+
+## Changed Runtime Files
+- `tools/palette-manager-v2/paletteManagerV2.css`
+
+## Scope Confirmation
+- No workspace/toolState/session logic changed.
+- No sample JSON changed.
+- No `tools/shared` files changed.
+- No dependencies added.
+- No left or center panel layout rules changed.
+
+## Validation Results
+- Targeted browser layout check: PASS.
+  - Right panel display: `flex`.
+  - Right panel flex direction: `column`.
+  - Import/Export flex: `1 1 auto`.
+  - Validation/Error flex: `0 0 auto`.
+  - Validation/Error max-height: computed from `clamp(120px, 22vh, 260px)`.
+  - Right-column occupied child height matched available content height.
+- `git diff --check`: PASS.
+  - Warning observed: Git reports `tools/palette-manager-v2/paletteManagerV2.css` LF will be replaced by CRLF when Git next touches it.
+- JavaScript syntax checks: no JavaScript files changed.
+- `npm run test:workspace-v2`: FAIL.
+  - Failure reason: `npm` reports missing script `test:workspace-v2`.
+- Full samples smoke test: skipped by instruction.
+
+## Manual Validation

+2. Inspect the right column.
+3. Confirm Import/Export fills remaining height after Validation/Error Viewer.
+4. Confirm Validation/Error Viewer height is capped and scrollable.
+5. Confirm Import/Export scrolls internally when needed.
+6. Confirm left and center panels are unchanged.
