Deal every card the same hand: anatomy, sketches, and the standing door

The decision page compared unlike things: the grounded direction was a
wall of text beside curated catalog art, the catalog art read as a
promise of the build, the weighing silently shrank the challenger set,
and the standing exit hid in the footer under the cards it must not
soften. Every card now shares one anatomy (thesis, palette chips,
material tags, first viewport, case, risk), every dealt challenger is
presented with the weighing written on it rather than applied to it,
the catalog image rides picture-in-picture as labeled inspiration with
the lightbox a click away, and canonCard renders the category standard
as one honest, subordinate card.

When image generation exists, each card declares a sketch slot the page
polls: serve first, generate after, through one shared deliberately
unfinished frame, so the comparison stays about direction instead of
rendering luck. The asset producer takes the batch when subagents
exist; the chosen sketch returns in ANSWER to seed at most one comp
probe, and the comp round still renders its full set.

## Generate three compositional options
Render three distinct high-fidelity north-star comps of the requested surface, with whatever generation capability exists, saved under `.impeccable/mocks/` so they survive the session; record the approved comp's path in the surface brief. Base them on the real content and the surface concepts already developed with the user. Three is the number: one comp invites rubber-stamping, and the spread between three is what surfaces the composition worth building.
Render three distinct high-fidelity north-star comps of the requested surface, with whatever generation capability exists, saved under `.impeccable/mocks/` so they survive the session; record the approved comp's path in the surface brief. Base them on the real content and the surface concepts already developed with the user. Three is the number: one comp invites rubber-stamping, and the spread between three is what surfaces the composition worth building. A decision-page sketch is not a probe: it chose the direction at deliberately unfinished fidelity, so the three comps render regardless, and the chosen card's sketch seeds at most one of them.
- When the user shortlisted multiple concepts, spread the three across them.
- When one direction is committed, vary the structural uncertainty an image can resolve: topology, sequence, density, hierarchy, focal composition, or interaction framing.
