Sandboxed shells cannot bind the board's port; every codex session paid
one failed start before retrying escalated.

Three lessons from the Tortuga containment-map run. The first rebuild
directive now executes immediately, informing the user instead of
asking permission to fix a failure; consultation waits for a second
rebuild verdict or user-approved content at risk. The asset producer
spawns on every subagent-capable run even when produce looks empty,
because its manifest is the independent check on the inventory's media
and the skipped spawn marks every all-CSS failure to date. And the
inventory now opens by reading the comp as a design system (component
grammar, corners, line weights, elevation, type ramp), because the
sections the comp does not show get built from that record, and without
it the fallback is the stock kit: square boxes, 1px grids, bentos, hard
shadows.

The condensation pass folded the old textures-are-raster-by-default
sentence into the medium gate's lighting-and-depth clause, and the next
codex run drove straight through the gap: woven cotton as 'layered CSS
textures', a black nylon band as plain CSS, and a physical evidence-tag
CTA as CSS shapes, so the produce bucket stayed empty and the asset
producer was never called. The gate now names textures explicitly,
woven cloth, paper grain, fabric, leather, brushed metal, with no depth
argument owed, and calls 'layered CSS textures' what it is: not a
medium.

Three of the six axes cannot be read from a world's prose, and widening their
keywords manufactures signal rather than finding it. Depth's probe matched
worlds that said "no cast shadow anywhere" and "without perspective or depth";
motion and colour strategy describe properties the system rules never state, so
they place 28% and 7%.
An optional axes object on the concept records the value instead. Absent means
inferred from the rules as before, so nothing needs backfilling. Validated
against the axes definition when the caller supplies it, because a typo would
read as "unrecorded" and fall back to a probe already known not to work, which
is the quietest way for this to fail.
This is what makes an assigned wave measurable. If a wave draws "drenched" and
"simulated physics" before designing anything, the world it produces has to
carry those values or the assignment is lost the moment it lands, and occupancy
goes back to guessing at prose.

The Tortuga comp dissolves the Install CTA's edge into the storm's
particles; the build shipped a plain rectangle with four decorative
dots, and neither the builder nor the reviewer's rebuild findings named
it. The inventory now gives the primary action its own row and medium,
naming the shrink-to-border-trick failure as the compliance-token
version of commitment, and the reviewer's fidelity matrix lists the
primary action's treatment among the salient elements, with a
physically-worked CTA rendered as a plain rectangle scored contradicted.

The Tortuga run showed the finish machinery working end to end, roll,
challengers, approved comp, honest labels, independent reviewer, an
earned rebuild verdict at the user checkpoint, and still cost the user
a full build to learn the hero undersold the comp: a glyph storm at a
tenth of the approved density under type half as compressed. Both
misses were visible the moment the first viewport rendered.
Two cheap gates front-load that discovery. The build section gains a
hero checkpoint: capture the first viewport and set it beside the
comp's before any later section, judging scale and density as
quantities. The inventory gains the same quantitative discipline:
field and texture regions record density and coverage, and TYPE rows
name the compression class and render one headline word against the
comp before anything is built on the face.

Codex's risk reviewer rejected the network-escalated roll rerun for
'contacting an unspecified external domain' and the assumed export of
project context, so the run degraded to no challengers. Both concerns
are answerable: the script's only network contact is one GET to
impeccable.style/api/roll carrying scope, mode, an eight-hex key, and a
re-roll counter, nothing project-derived. The degraded message now
states that verbatim and tells the model to put the URL and payload in
its approval request, so the reviewer judges the real action instead of
an unknown.

single-font's retirement made the detector 59 rules; both READMEs still
said 60 in five places, and the count validator reported clean because
'deterministic detector rules' puts a word the regex never expected
between the qualifier and the noun, and README.npm.md was never in the
checked file list. The regex now tolerates the detector infix, counts
qualified 'issues' claims, and README.npm.md joins the list.

Version bumps for all three components plus the build:release sync of
the tracked harness dirs and the plugin subtree at 4.0.4, rebased onto
the composition-axes work so the release carries both threads.

The composition pool (stagings) is not ready: too thin to help, and its
draws crowd the decision it rides along with. concept-seed.mjs stops
rendering the staging block by default; IMPECCABLE_COMPOSITIONS=1
re-enables it for catalog development, and the draw machinery,
rating-weighted selection, and mode scoping stay intact and tested for
its return. new-work.md drops the dress-the-staging-challengers
instruction and the FORM contract's staging clauses; the surface-scope
roll still assigns which of the model's own structures gets built.

One family with weight and size contrast carrying the hierarchy is a
legitimate type system, and in practice the rule mostly punished
minimal pages: it was the loudest cross-rule noise on the fixture
corpus's should-pass columns. Removed from the registry, both engine
paths, the regex page analyzers, and the devtools category map; the
negative assertions stay as resurrection guards, and the text-content
analyzer index base shifts down one with the removal.

Codex's own post-mortem of the second hamster-wheel session: it loaded
the kicker ban, shipped five kickers anyway, and then the reviewer and
documenter 'compounded it by accepting, and even canonizing, the
invented label style'. Nothing downstream of the builder ever re-read
the floor.
The reviewer gains check 6, Floor: read craft-floor.md (now the one
skill reference it may read, passed in its inputs) and hold the
screenshots against the Refuse list; a banned element is a material fix
even when it matches nothing in the comp, because fidelity cannot
authorize what the floor refuses. The documenter gains the mirror rule:
a floor refusal lands in its not-canonized line as a carried defect,
never in DESIGN.md as a rule future surfaces inherit.
Also updates the live-reference contract test to match the applier's
condensed no-server sentence, which still carries the same guarantee.

Paul's codex build carried an element literally named class="kicker"
and the detector returned one finding. Two independent blind spots:
- The linked stylesheet was styles.css?v=3, and the href resolved as a
literal path with the query string in it, so the whole sheet was
invisible to every element-level check: 1 finding with the link, 18
with the CSS inlined. Hrefs now strip query and hash before resolving.
- The kicker gate demanded letter-spacing >= max(1px, 0.08 * size). The
wild's most common recipe, 0.08em at 12px, computes to 0.973px and
lost to the absolute floor by a fraction. The floor is now purely
proportional (0.06 * size), with a fixture case pinning the exact
shape that slipped through.
With both fixed, the failed codex build scans at 18 findings including
its numbered section kickers (numbered-section-labels), side-tab
stripe, and grid background.

Three subagent audits reviewed the files that grew through the last
rounds of patches. Their honest verdict: dense, not bloated; roughly
430 words of true redundancy came out with no rule lost, and every cut
they flagged as removing compliance pressure was skipped. Highlights:
approval recording now has one owner in visualize.md, the asset
producer's crop ban went from three statements to the deliberate pair,
its two transparency passages carried contradictory defaults (resolved
toward true alpha first), and the 450-word medium-gate wall split into
three paragraphs at zero cost. The producer also gained a mode-seam
sentence so a sketch run cannot return an asset manifest.
The reviewer's verdict is no longer soft: a derived disposition line
(rebuild / fix / ship) opens every return, computed from the matrix
rather than felt, recomputed after the verdict pass, and never
softenable by the parent, who must report it verbatim. The second
hamster-wheel run showed the parent inventing 'PASS WITH FIXES' over a
matrix with MATERIAL contradicted on the focal element.
Two additions from the same session's evidence: hard offset shadows
outside a neobrutalist world join the craft floor's refusals (codex
invents them without fail), and hookless harnesses must run detect.mjs
once before the finish review, because codex has no hooks and the
detector otherwise never sees the build at all.

The second codex hamster-wheel run read the medium gate and still
assigned a shaded, perspectived technical illustration to 'Authored SVG
geometry': the world was an instruction booklet, so the affinity
clause's 'diagrams' blessed the downgrade, and the page shipped as flat
clipart against an illustration-grade comp. The gate now says style
does not move the boundary: perspective, shading, figure drawing, or
dense mechanical detail is illustration however line-drawn it looks,
and authored SVG ends where drawing skill begins. The craft floor's
sketchy-SVG rule carries the same sentence.
The reviewer in that run built an honest matrix, MATERIAL contradicted
on the focal element, and still emitted it as a fixable item the parent
answered with CSS. The rebuild directive now fires when MATERIAL is
contradicted on the focal element, not only when TYPE falls with it,
and every asset-requiring fix must say 'produce: <region>' so it cannot
be answered as a style tweak.

A landscape frame was the silent default at every generation site,
which is a composition error before the build starts for native apps
and mobile-first surfaces. The sketch frame, the asset producer's
single-sketch contract, and the comp instruction now state it: portrait
at device viewport when the surface is a phone screen, landscape for
desktop web. The decision page adapts in kind: portrait art overrides
the 16/10 slot with its own exact ratio so nothing crops, and the deck
narrows so portrait cards line up side by side. The --schema guidance
tells the model the page handles either.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Cards widen from 27vw to 34vw and the media slot matches the 16:10
sketch frame instead of cropping it to 16:9: at the old width the
imagery read as a thumbnail above a column of copy, and the copy won
the attention contest the sketch exists to win. The whole image is now
a zoom target with a zoom-in cursor, not just the expand chip; chip and
PIP handlers already stop propagation, so the art click is unambiguous.

A codex greenfield build produced an excellent approved comp and then an
abysmal page, and the reviewer approved it. The failure chain: the
implementation inventory downgraded a photographic hero to 'silhouette
in SVG' and sculpted panels to 'material finish: CSS'; the builder read
'no photography on hand' as a license to avoid photographic rendering;
QA looked at one full-page thumbnail; the reviewer was spawned with the
builder's forked history and then scored fix claims instead of pixels;
and the output contract had no way to say 'rejected'.
The fixes, stage by stage:
- The inventory's medium column gets a gate: a human figure, product
object, machinery, or lit material is raster whatever the stack, and
such regions are regenerated cleanly at asset resolution with the
comp and its embedded prompt as reference. Never cropped from the
comp, whose effective resolution is reference grade; the asset
producer's direct bucket closes the same hole. Dropping an
image-native region is a user decision at the approval point.
- Generated imagery is a material, not a claim: evidence rules bind
assertions, never render fidelity.
- The build thread's inspection becomes a region-by-region side-by-side
against the comp at legible scale, never one full-page thumbnail.
- The reviewer spawns fresh, never with forked history (fork_turns: 0
in codex), and gains a rejection lane: when TYPE, MATERIAL, and the
focal element are all contradicted, the first material fix is a
rebuild directive the parent surfaces to the user instead of
patching. Verdict passes score recaptures only; the parent's fix
narration is not evidence.
- The verdict-loop ceiling softens: two rounds ends an unattended run,
but an attended session puts the open-items table in front of the
user and lets them fund another round; any round that resolves
nothing stops the loop.
- Comp approval joins the roll as skip-proof: question-tool errors fall
back to the decision page, delegation is recorded in the brief and
the sidecar and disclosed up front, and the reviewer treats comps
with no recorded pick as a material finding.
- Craft floor: system display faces (Impact, Arial Black) as an
own-world display voice and unicode glyphs standing in for icon
systems are named failures.
