Recently I’ve read reports that the tower will “soon” top out. Well, the roof is on: Is that not the definition of topped out? Or does the mechanical box need to have a roof, too?

Topping out Wiki says.....
In building construction, topping out (also referred to as topping off or roofing ceremony) is a builders' rite traditionally held when the last beam (or its equivalent) is placed at the top of a structure during its construction. Nowadays, the ceremony is often parlayed into a media event for public relations purposes.[1] It has since come to mean more generally finishing the structure of the building, whether there is a ceremony or not. It is also commonly used to determine the amount of wind on the top of the structure.
I think it needs to have the mechanical box finished too but .....

There’s the Gherkin, the Shard, and Walkie-Talkie in London. The Marilyn’s in Mississauga. I just want to dub this the ‘Zipper’, with its vertical narrowing along the balcony ‘teeth’. Looking handsome and sleek this evening…(cells pics)…

Today. It does look unsightly now that the top is fully exposed. I hope they hide that stub (overrun) behind glass as per the original rendering

Then the scale of this even if they brought glass up to go 2 m above the current parapet wall would hide it enough that it isn't noticeable The thing I've noticed is you have to at least be about a kilometer and a half away in order to see the actual box at the top anything up close and it is hidden by the angle of view

Well unfortunately, most of the city and humanity as a whole is more than a kilometre and a half from this building. They need to build the glazing a bit higher.
