 The standing exit: every direction round offers one quiet, permanent alternative, the category standard, played straight. It is the user's door, never yours: never recommend it, never weigh it against the roll, never let it soften the dealt directions; the counterweights bind the unchosen default, not the chosen one. When the user takes it (the canon action, a safer-steer, or plain words asking for the familiar or competitor-like path), convention becomes the commitment: ask once for two or three products this should sit alongside, make their craft level the bar, and execute the canon at full fidelity, without irony or smuggled quirk. Record a standing preference as a brand commitment in PRODUCT.md. <!-- rule:skill-canon-standing-exit --> Re-roll eliminates every direction already shown, grounded and challenger alike; after two consecutive re-rolls, ask what quality is missing. Re-roll on your own only on named factual grounds, when the assigned direction cannot carry the product's truth or task; taste is never grounds. The user may re-roll freely, and a user- or brief-pinned direction beats the roll, always. Resolve collisions field by field: preserve every user- or brief-pinned constraint. In dimensions the brief leaves open, the assignment still binds through its topology, controls, state vocabulary, and ritual; when only its materials conflict with a pinned visual direction or PRODUCT.md brand commitment, translate that material expression and name the translation in the presented direction. A look mismatch is not grounds to re-roll. <!-- rule:skill-assigned-plus-reroll --> Present the decision visually: write an options payload with the assigned direction leading, its raised lines included; the pick card when one exists; the dealt challengers as alternates with their QUALITY BAR cards, verdicts, and kept lines; re-roll with its safer and bolder registers; steer; canon enabled; and `buildPath` carrying the recorded default with `toggle: true` whenever image generation exists (details in the build-path paragraph below). A degraded roll with no challengers still uses the page, as a single text-only card with re-roll. Give every card the same anatomy: thesis, palette, materials, first viewport, honest risk, and the challengers' case lines (`--schema` prints the exact shape); the page renders identity from these fields, demotes declined challengers to their row on its own, and a challenger's catalog image rides as labeled inspiration, never the promise of the build. Author `canonCard` too: the category standard as one honest card, same anatomy; the page keeps it subordinate, and the counterweights still bind you. Run `node {{scripts_path}}/serve-question.mjs --start --payload <file>` (`--schema` first for the payload shape). It daemonizes, prints the page URL and a key, and exits; open that URL for the user, in-app browser first, then the system opener, then showing the URL. Collect the choice with `--wait --key <key>`, repeating while it exits 3; the ANSWER prints as JSON. An ANSWER of `{"optionId":"reroll"}` keeps the server alive and the page open on a loading hand: rerun concept-seed with the same `--scope` and `--mode` plus `--from <seed-key> --reroll <n>` (1 on the first re-roll, counting up), build the next payload, deliver it with `--update --key <same key> --payload <file>`, then return to `--wait` on that key. Never `--start` a second server or fall back to chat here: either strands the open tab on a hand that never arrives. Exit 4 means the page closed unanswered: re-present once through the structured question tool, and with no answer there either, proceed unattended with the assigned direction and state the assumptions. A harness that can leave a shell blocked in the background may run the script without `--start` and let it auto-open and block. Never predict the fallback: run the script, and only exit code 2 from starting it routes the decision to the structured tool; that exit is the fallback, never an error to retry. <!-- rule:skill-visual-decision-page -->
 
-When image generation exists, every card also declares a `comp` path under `.impeccable/mocks/decision/`, the canon card included. Where the harness sandboxes its shell, start the page through the least-sandboxed command path it offers: a sandboxed shell cannot bind the board's port, and the first-attempt failure costs a retry every session. Serve the page first, then produce the comps; the page shimmer-waits per slot and the user may answer before they land. Each card's image is that direction's north-star comp at full fidelity under [visualize.md](visualize.md)'s comp discipline: the requested surface's first viewport, structure-led prompt, real product name and real content, no invented commercial claims, in that card's own palette, type character, and material world, committed all the way. Generation takes the same time at any fidelity, so an unfinished draft pays comp cost for draft quality; fairness between cards is equal fidelity in each card's own grammar, one surface, one aspect, never shared unfinishedness. The frame's aspect is the surface's own: portrait at device viewport for a native app or mobile-first surface, landscape for desktop web; the decision page adapts to either, and a phone screen comped landscape is a broken frame, not a neutral default. Produce in reading order, the assigned card, then the pick, then the full-card hand, then canon, each file written with its prompt sidecar the moment it is done, so a re-roll's spend front-loads onto the cards read first; declined challengers get no comp, their catalog thumb is their face. With parallel subagents, fan out one agent per card: each spawn is the shipped asset producer with a single-comp packet, that card's fields, PRODUCT.md, the shared frame, and the card's declared path, up to four in flight. Regenerate inline any slot still empty when its agent returns; drop without ceremony any slot still empty when the user answers. No other supervision is owed. Without parallel subagents, generate in the main thread after serving, same order, and let the harness's own generation display carry the progress; the wait for the answer follows the last file. The chosen card's comp is not spent by the choice: comp-led, it enters the comp round as compositional option one; code-led, it returns at the finish review as the critique reference, what the image dared that the build did not. Unchosen comps stay in `.impeccable/mocks/decision/` as the round's spent hand; they carry no approval and imply none. With no image generation, cards carry their identity in palette chips and facts, and that page is complete, not a lesser version; the page then also demotes every challenger's catalog art to a labeled thumbnail on its own, because salience must encode the verdict, never the accident of which cards have images. <!-- rule:skill-decision-comps-full-fidelity --> <!-- rule:skill-salience-parity -->

 The execution contract, comp-led or code-led, is a workflow preference, not a per-surface decision; no round asks it. The recorded default rides every round and the page's toggle handles the exception. Read the default from `.impeccable/config.json` (`buildPath`), the gitignored `.impeccable/config.local.json` winning where one machine differs from the team's committed value; with neither, comp-led is the default whenever image generation exists. Author every direction and surface payload with `buildPath: { "value": <default>, "toggle": true }`; the page renders a footer toggle with the trade stated beside it, and the ANSWER returns `buildPath` plus `buildPathFlipped`. A flipped value binds that session only and is never written back, with one exception, the only question this preference ever earns inside a round (init records it up front on projects that get the chance): when `buildPathFlipped` comes back true on a project that records no `buildPath` at all, ask once after the round closes whether to keep it as the standing default. Either answer writes `.impeccable/config.json`; the answer picks the value, never whether to record one. Yes writes the flipped value; "no, just this once" writes the value they flipped away from, the standing default they just confirmed by declining. Ask on the flip, never on the untouched default: a user who left the toggle alone told you nothing. A declined offer nothing writes down is an offer the next session makes again. When the user asks in words to change the standing default, update the file without asking. **Comp-led**: the chosen card's comp is law, generated before building when it does not yet exist, and the finish review audits the build against it; boldest composition on the table, fix rounds expected, and the comp is non-optional, no silent skipping. **Code-led**: no comp of this page and no apology for it; the QUALITY BAR boards still calibrate finish, and the ambition moves into the written contract, the FIRST VIEWPORT block plus a named signature interaction and motion grammar, which the finish reviewer audits in behavior; code-led is not a discount on commitment. A code-led round still declares each card's comp path as a flip reserve: when the user flips the toggle to comp mid-round, `--wait` returns once with BUILD PATH FLIPPED while the page shimmers the slots; generate each open card's comp into its declared path then, lead first, and wait again. The flip back is free, and a comp that already rendered rides at the finish review as the critique reference. Without image generation there is no toggle and no choice: code-led is the only path, stated in one line rather than asked. The old two-card execution-contract round is retired; `followup: true` remains the general mechanism for delivering any later round over the same table via `--update`. <!-- rule:skill-build-path-round -->
