Well after the beginning of the age of home electrification, but I’m not sure precisely. I’m renting my current house.
I don’t think any of my stairs have had such an exaggerated ledge of the tread like the picture in this thread. In my previous house (owned, built in 2000 something) it just had a little bump nailed on to the edge, but it was symmetric on both the tread and riser.
3/4" min to 1-1/4" max is code, with a 9/16" nosing. No nose is doable, but with a min step depth of 11", generally youre not seeing that outside of commercial spaces (and typically concrete).
Not sure where you are (or if your stairs are even up to code), but that’s what they are referring to.
Hmm. Does that “nose” count if the riser is slanted? Maybe I’m just not seeing what I’m expecting, but there is space because the riser isn’t perfectly vertical, now that I’m looking.

It shouldn’t be slanted, I’m going to go with “not to code”, or your local building code didn’t adopt IRC for stairs.
(At least for the slant I’m picturing in my head it would not be to code)
