Move the slop defects back into the craft floor
The detector-blind slop review existed because the AI-tell rules had been stripped out of SKILL.md and nothing carried them. The floor is a better home: it loads after concept ideation and immediately before editing UI, which is the placement that made stripping them necessary in the first place. Models tread lightly when a ban list is present during ideation; by the time the floor loads, the direction is already committed. - Rename build-floor.md to craft-floor.md and restore the absolute bans (side-stripes, gradient text, glassmorphism, hero-metric, identical card grids, eyebrow-on-every-section, numbered markers, text overflow), the codex and gemini defect lists, and the reflexes no scanner catches. Rule ids match the ones the ablation catalog already knows. - Delete lib/slop-review.mjs and both injections. The Stop hook is now purely a mechanical pass and stays silent with nothing to report. - context.mjs replaces AI_SLOP_REVIEW_REQUIRED with the narrower MANUAL_DETECTOR_REQUIRED, emitted only when a session has no hook at all. A per-edit hook already covers the mechanical gap, and the floor covers the judgment one either way. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Merge main into oneshot-v4, keeping the service layer split out
main still carries the site, so every `site/` path resolves to deleted. `tests/docs-integrity.test.js` goes with it (it imports the site's demo renderer), and `package.json` keeps main's `@anthropic-ai/sdk` bump while dropping `@google/genai` and `@paper-design/shaders`, which nothing in the product layer imports. Real code merges: - hook-lib: main's #391 cache fix (sync the remembered set to the live scan so fixed findings stop being named and a reintroduced one fires again) now runs on the immediate tier rather than the whole filtered set. Remembering a deferred finding the per-edit pass never reported would let the Stop deep pass dedupe it away. main's `maxFileBytes` ceiling, `cleanAcked` once-per-file ack, and template-extensions re-export all land alongside the tiering work. - live-browser: main's `hasParams` gate on the Tune badge, keeping this branch's `C.ink` badge text so it stays legible on kinpaku gold. - detect-text: both the block-level codex-grid-background scan and main's inset-stripe CSS check. - test-suites: union of both trigger sets and file lists, minus the site-only entries (`shiki-theme`, `docs-integrity`). - Two hook tests moved off deferred-tier rules (`overused-font`, `side-tab`) onto immediate-tier ones. They assert cache bookkeeping, which the per-edit pass only reaches for the immediate tier. Also drops the site waivers from `.impeccable/config.json` and stops `build:browser` recreating a stray `site/` tree just to write a bundle the other repo builds itself.

Rework the candidate floor around signature and translation
Replace the Consequence floor with Signature: one authored move that makes the experience unmistakable and shapes implementation, named in terms of what the visitor experiences. Translation now demands the source's aesthetic and compositional laws survive alongside product structure, so function-without-character reads as safe flattening and character-without-structure as costume. Add an expand-then-contract step before the direction contract: decide spatial, motion, interaction, narrative, and system questions as one studio plan that causes itself, then compress into the contract. Staging guidance follows the seed's move to several inputs. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Add world roll API and seed telemetry client
/api/roll deals deterministic challenger rolls server-side (same salts and sha256 ranking as the local seed, verified bit-for-bit); the request log is the impression record. /api/chosen takes the anonymous choice ping. Events land in Workers Analytics Engine. concept-seed.mjs resolves data in order: local catalog dir, roll API, degraded promotion-only seed. --chosen sends the choice ping; DO_NOT_TRACK and IMPECCABLE_NO_TELEMETRY disable it. API-dealt seeds carry the telemetry instruction inline. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Expand concept system: modes, ratings, re-roll, breadth strategy
Catalog: mode-aligned staging surfaces (persuade/operate/read/experience), star ratings on approvals feeding challenger draw weights, family retirements, authoring strategy and territory guide, rework and breadth authoring rounds, composition mining from rejected worlds. Seed: six challengers (two per tier), --reroll chains, --mode staging filter, rating-weighted draws. New-work: Present/visualize/re-roll flow, image-gen requirement, register-neutral vocabulary. Pipeline: per-mode staging prompts with split frames, hero-from-board reference generation, render-safety guards. Labs: ratings UI, unrated filter, mode chips, composition approve-guard.

Live: polling rework, source locks, preflight scaffolding (#381)
* Improve Live polling responsiveness and reliability Restore foreground/background polling as the primary harness architecture, add progressive publication and framework-safe previews, and harden quality and regression coverage. The experimental app-server runtime is intentionally excluded.\n\nPrepared with AI assistance under maintainer direction. * Fix source-safety, detector, and lock defects in Live polling work Addresses the review findings on #371, plus several the bots did not catch. All fixes have regression coverage that fails on the prior code. Source corruption: - Vue accept dropped valueless root attrs (disabled, v-cloak) and, worse, rewrote @click="x" as a literal click="x" DOM attribute, because the attr parser was name-anchored and skipped the sigil. Tokenize the whole Vue attr grammar and normalize shorthands so accept round-trips directives. - --variant was interpolated unescaped into a RegExp, so --variant '.*' matched the original block first and reported a successful accept while silently restoring the original. Validate against the digits pattern the browser and the /events schema already enforce. - --id reached path.join unvalidated, so --id ../../../../etc/evil wrote and read receipts outside the project. Hoist the existing safeSessionId check into impeccable-paths and apply it at every id-to-path sink. Accept/lock correctness: - Plain HTML/JSX accept and discard did not catch SOURCE_LOCKED, so contention exited non-zero with empty stdout and the agent got no JSON to retry on. - Lock staleness was mtime-only and never read the pid it records: a holder whose critical section outran 60s had its live lock swept, admitting a second writer to the same file, while a crashed holder blocked accepts for a full 60s. Decide staleness by owner liveness, and release only our own lock. Detector: - isNeutralColor only parses computed color forms, so routing authored CSS through it reported inset 4px 0 0 #000 / black / #e5e7eb as chromatic side-tab stripes. Add an authored-color neutrality test covering hex and named neutrals; the fixture had no literal-color cases at all. - Rule line numbers were off by one for every rule after the first, and commented-out CSS was scanned as live rules. Server: - An error reply carries no sourceEventType, and inferSourceEventType returned undefined, which acknowledgePendingEvent treats as a wildcard: a stale generate worker's failure consumed the user's queued Accept, which then reached no agent and left the browser in SAVING forever. - The generate preflight spawned live-wrap.mjs synchronously inside the request handler, freezing the single-threaded server for the whole scaffold (~7.6s measured on this repo, 15s ceiling) and stalling Accept/Discard/SSE. Make it async, claiming the lease before the first await so no event double-delivers. - Every browser checkpoint was echoed back as variant_progress, so a Tune slider drag remounted the preview under the user's cursor and latched the *_reviewable phases from the wrong trigger. Gate on the reason. Cleanup: - Collapse four divergent benchmark argv parsers into scripts/lib/cli-args.mjs. Three silently misread flags: --iterations 20 benchmarked 5, --agent llm ran the fake agent, --median-target=0.4 used the default threshold. - Drop a snapshot cache this branch made write-only (it grew per session for the server's lifetime and was never read), a dead exported reconcile helper, and the unused deferReply branch. Prepared with AI assistance under maintainer direction. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * Route the last two benchmark scripts through the shared argv parser Follow-up on review feedback. The previous commit consolidated four of the six Live benchmark parsers and left these two on their own hand-rolled `arg()`, which was the inconsistency the first pass was meant to remove. - benchmark-live-control.mjs and benchmark-live-init.mjs parsed --iterations with Number(), so a non-numeric value became NaN and `index < NaN` ran the benchmark zero times before failing on the metrics file. They also accepted only the space-separated form, so --iterations=20 silently measured the default. Both now use parseArgs + positiveIntFlag, which throws on a value that was clearly meant as a number. - benchmark-live-control.mjs read the metrics file with no handling for the case where the run produced nothing: a missing file surfaced as a raw ENOENT stack and a malformed line as a bare SyntaxError. Report both with a diagnostic naming the file and the env var that populates it. - summarize() now reports a `samples` count and nulls instead of letting percentile() read past an empty array, where the NaN serialized to null and a report of nothing measured looked like a real measurement. Prepared with AI assistance under maintainer direction. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * Stop telling users a busy agent is disconnected The agent-poll indicator tracks whether a poll is parked, which is the right signal for "can steering reach the agent right now" and is why the flag itself is left alone. But it goes quiet for two different reasons, and both got the same copy: "Agent disconnected - run live-poll.mjs to connect". Under the one-shot foreground polling that live.md calls the primary contract, no poll is parked while the agent works, so the second reason is every normal generation. For its whole duration the bar told the user a healthy session was broken and advised them to start a poll loop that was already running. Pick the copy from the live state, which the browser already tracks: GENERATING and SAVING mean the agent holds work it was handed, so say it is working. Every other state with no parked poll keeps the original, actionable wording. The aria-label carries the same distinction, since the tooltip is mouse-only. The text is derived at read time rather than cached, because the live state moves between the 5s status polls and a finished generation would otherwise keep reading "Agent is working" until the next one landed. Deriving it also keeps the read out of setLiveState, which runs long before agentPollingConnected's declaration and would hit its temporal dead zone. Prepared with AI assistance under maintainer direction. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * Scope design-system-font-size off the injected live overlay live-browser.js builds a self-contained UI that renders over arbitrary host pages, so its inline type scale is deliberately independent of DESIGN.md, which documents the impeccable website's ramp. The rule fired 32 times there and is the only rule that fires on that file. Suppress it as a file-scoped value wildcard rather than via ignoreFiles: an ignoreFiles glob would silence every rule for the file, and the overlay is real user-facing chrome where a future contrast or side-tab finding should still be heard. Scoped to this one file, so the rule keeps working everywhere else. Written by hand because hook-admin's ignore-value cannot emit the `files` array that detector.ignoreValues supports and existing entries already use. Prepared with AI assistance under maintainer direction. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * Let hooks ignore-value scope a rule to files, and stop churning the config Fallout from suppressing the overlay's font-size findings: the narrowest exception detector.ignoreValues supports was unreachable from the path the hook tells the model to use, so the guidance steered to the blunt instrument instead. - hook-admin's ignore-value now takes --file / --files / --file= / --files=, matching `impeccable ignores add-value`, which already had them. Without it the only file-scoped option was ignore-file, which silences every rule for a path permanently, including rules not yet written. - A bare wildcard value is now refused with a message pointing at either --file or ignore-rule. Previously `ignore-value <rule> "*"` quietly wrote a project-wide suppression from a single file's finding. - ignore-value keyed entries on rule+value only, so a second scope for the same rule overwrote the first instead of coexisting. Key on the file scope too. - An unknown flag folded into the value: `ignore-value overused-font Inter --shard` stored "inter --shard", matched nothing, and reported success. Reject it, as the sibling command does. Config churn: normalizeIgnoreValueEntries runs on every write and emitted keys as rule, value, files, reason, createdAt while the config on disk uses createdAt before reason. Any edit therefore rewrote every untouched entry (35 churned lines for a one-line change). Pin the canonical order in both copies of the normalizer and in ignores.mjs, and add a test that the two copies cannot drift apart. Also point the hook's own footer and reference/hooks.md at the file-scoped form first, and say plainly what ignore-file costs. Prepared with AI assistance under maintainer direction. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * Correct the prose-gate docs and write down the no-bump-in-a-PR rule CLAUDE.md said the prose validator "deliberately skips skill/", which is only half true and cost a build failure this week: validateProse skips it, but validateSkillProse then scans skill/**/*.md and fails the build on em dashes plus the phrases with no technical reading. Document both gates, which files each one reads, and the line that actually matters in practice: an em dash in skill/reference/*.md fails the build, one in a skill/scripts/*.mjs comment does not. Each claim was checked against a real `bun run build`. Also record that feature PRs do not bump manifest versions or add changelog entries. It was not written down anywhere: not CLAUDE.md, not AGENTS.md, not the PR template. CLAUDE.md's "Bump when: CLI code changes" reads as an instruction to bump inside the PR that touches cli/, so say plainly that it names which component a change belongs to rather than when to edit the manifest. Put the rule in AGENTS.md too. That is the guide the agents opening PRs here actually read, so a rule about PR hygiene living only in CLAUDE.md would not reach them. Prepared with AI assistance under maintainer direction. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * Bring Live progressive delivery and the generator subagent to Claude Code Almost none of this branch's Live work was actually Codex-specific. The publisher, the fences, the source locks and the browser's partial-arrival UI are plain node and DOM with zero provider references, and the progressive E2E already passes on five frameworks driven by a non-Codex agent. The Codex-only part was policy prose and one frontmatter line, so Claude Code shipped the progressive browser UI it could never trigger. Progressive delivery, Codex and Claude Code: - Add a `live-progressive` capability tag and opt codex, agents, and claude-code in. A provider block takes one tag, so naming harnesses would have meant duplicating the recipe per tag; a capability reads better than a provider list anyway. Cursor and everyone else keep the atomic path until their poll loop is known not to stall on the extra publish calls. - Claude Code publishes variant 1 as soon as it validates rather than waiting to write the whole trio in one edit. Nothing about the arrival path needed changing: the publisher writes, framework HMR pushes, and the browser's MutationObserver counts variants. The parent conversation was never in that path, which is why Claude Code's lack of subagent progress streaming does not matter here. Generator subagent: - Drop `providers: codex` from impeccable-live-generator. The build already maps its frontmatter correctly for Claude Code, and impeccable-manual-edit-applier has shipped to .claude/agents/ this way all along. - The reason differs per harness, so the reference says so: Codex delegates to unblock a foreground poll, Claude Code delegates to keep a long session's screenshots and variant CSS out of the main context. Follows the existing manual-edit-applier convention: both agent names, and an inline fallback when native subagents are unavailable. Fixes found on the way: - The two publish commands hardcoded `.agents/skills/impeccable/scripts/` while the other thirteen commands in live.md use {{scripts_path}}. Correct only for the Codex repo-skills bundle; it would have pointed Claude Code at a directory its install never creates. The shipped .codex variant was already internally inconsistent. Now covered by a test. - `--agent=codex` resolved to the canned fake agent, because the flag parsed as `x === 'llm' ? 'llm' : 'fake'`. The private evals Live runner passes exactly that, so a real-harness run would have scored deterministic stub variants and reported them as Codex output. Unknown values for --agent, --scenario and --delivery now fail loudly. - live-reference tests now compile with each provider's real providerTags instead of hand-written lists, so a providers.js misconfiguration fails in tests rather than shipping. Verified: progressive E2E green on vite8-react-plain against a real Vite server and Chromium; every provider variant's publish and poll paths now agree; Cursor and Gemini still compile to atomic only. Prepared with AI assistance under maintainer direction. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * Fix inset-order detection, the unlocked artifact discard, and stray boolean flags Three of the four open review findings. The fourth is declined below. - The inset-stripe scan only matched layers starting with `inset`, but the keyword is order-independent: `box-shadow: 4px 0 0 var(--brand-accent) inset` paints the same stripe and was silently missed. Strip the keyword wherever it sits, but only as a standalone token, so a color like var(--inset-accent) is not mangled into `var(-- -accent)` and quietly reclassified as neutral. The fixture now covers both orders plus that token, and a trailing-inset neutral still passes. - The source-artifact discard deleted the preview without the source lock, unlike every other discard path. Take the lock. Narrower than reported, though: the server journals `discard_requested` as a fenced phase before live-accept runs and the publisher checks it three times, so a publish could never land on a discarded session. What this actually prevents is deleting the artifact under a publisher mid-critical-section, turning a clean stale_generation_epoch into an ENOENT crash. - benchmark-live-providers.mjs still compared `--headed` and `--skip-cleanup-control` against a boolean sentinel, so the `=true` spelling silently did nothing. My gap: I introduced boolFlag and converted benchmark-live.mjs but not this one. skipCleanupControl is now read once rather than twice, so the two call sites cannot drift. Declined: tightening the selector guard that skips `active` / `current` / `selected` tokens. It does cause false negatives on names like `.selected-feature`, but the rule's contract makes selection and focus indicators its one exception, and `.active-tab` / `.current-step` / `.selected-row` are syntactically identical to `.selected-feature`. No regex separates them, so tightening the guard trades missed stripes for false positives on exactly the case the rule exempts. The conservative skip is the intended behavior. Prepared with AI assistance under maintainer direction. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * Classify failed accepts as errors, and fix parallel lane race/all misuse Two of the three new findings, plus the bug that chasing them exposed in my own earlier fix. The third is mitigated rather than broken; details below. Failed accepts reported success: live/completion.mjs only classifies a result as `error` when it carries `mode: 'error'`. Everything else unhandled falls through to `agent_done` with an ok ack, which is deliberate for the documented fallback paths (two tests pin it) but wrong for a real failure. So `accept_receipt_conflict` reported success, and reference/live.md's `handled: false` without `mode` bullet told the agent to "read file, find markers, edit" — hand-applying a second accept on top of the one the receipt already recorded. The same hole swallowed `source_locked`, which is mine: the earlier commit made lock contention return clean JSON so the agent could retry, but the classifier turned that failure into agent_done/ok, so the accept was dequeued and silently lost. Mark genuine failures with `mode: 'error'` through one `operationFailure` helper, and give live.md a `mode: "error"` bullet with per-error guidance: retry the same command on `source_locked`, never hand-edit, and on a receipt conflict report what the session actually resolved to. The deliberate fallback and markers-not-found handoffs stay untouched. parallel-compact lane orchestration: `Promise.race` settles on the first *settlement*, so one lane failing fast rejected the whole first-variant step while two lanes were still on their way to succeeding. `Promise.any` now takes the first success and only a total wipeout is fatal, reporting every lane's reason. The tail step's `Promise.all` surfaced a raw lane error non-deterministically; `Promise.allSettled` now reports how many lanes failed and why. Added a `requestImpl` seam so lane orchestration is testable without a provider key. Not a defect: the browser releasing Accept before the source write. That is the intended optimistic design, and it is safe because poll-lanes ranks accept at priority 0 against generate at 2, so a queued accept is always leased before a generate the user queues afterwards, even if the generate arrived first. Its source write lands inside the poll script before the next generate preflights. That invariant is load-bearing and had no tests at all; poll-lanes.mjs now has a suite covering it plus lease and type filtering. Prepared with AI assistance under maintainer direction. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * Finish the failed-accept classification my last commit only half did All three new findings are the same root cause, and it is my incomplete fix: operationFailure only covered results built from a *thrown* error. Two paths it missed: - Two catches wrote the failure result as a multi-line literal, so the single-line replace skipped them. The Vue accept catch was still bare, exactly as reported; the Svelte one too, though its failures happened to be caught by completion.mjs's Svelte-only special case. - The accept implementations also *return* `{handled: false, error}` for their own checks (variant missing, template empty, original text ambiguous). Those never throw, so no catch ran and no `mode` was set. Both layers now agree, because each is reachable on its own: - live-accept marks any unhandled preview-path result via markPreviewFailure, keyed on `previewMode` — a clean discriminator, since only the preview branches set it and a plain wrapper never does. This is what the agent reads: reference/live.md routes on `mode`, so without it the agent was told "read file, find markers, edit" for a preview that has no markers in source. - completion.mjs replaces its arbitrary svelte-component special case with the set of preview modes whose variants live outside the user's source. That case existed for precisely this reason; Vue and source-artifact were simply never added, so the identical failure on those paths acknowledged as success. The plain wrapper keeps its manual handoff, which is the one shape with editable markers in source. Both deliberate handoffs (mode: 'fallback' and markers not found) still classify as agent_done, now pinned by a test so the generalization cannot swallow them. Prepared with AI assistance under maintainer direction. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * Stop the progressive benchmark agent inventing a second variant on count:1 `Math.max(1, event.count - 1)` floored the tail request at one variant, so a one-variant request fetched a second direction and assembled two. Ask for `count - 1` and return the first variant untouched when there is no tail. Latent rather than live: the only caller hardcodes `count: 3`. The reason it is worth fixing is the caller inconsistency it exposed. tests/live-e2e/agent.mjs gates its split-progressive path on `event.count > 1`; benchmark-live-providers.mjs had no such guard, so it would have run the tail for a one-variant request, and the parallel strategy would have assembled its three fixed lanes regardless of what was asked for. Guard the caller the same way. Prepared with AI assistance under maintainer direction. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * Drop the live generator subagent; fix the artifact decoy that broke accept The first real Claude Code Live run failed, and the subagent was not the cause. Root cause: progressive publication stages each revision as `.impeccable/live/artifacts/<id>-r<n>.<source-ext>`, nothing ever deleted them, and findSessionFile's walker skipped only node_modules/.git/dist/build. It searches src, app, pages, ... then `.`; a project whose source is not under one of those (this repo's own site lives in site/pages/) falls through to the `.` walk, where dot-directories sort before letters. So accept found the artifact instead of the real file. Two outcomes, both reproduced: where isGeneratedFile returns true it declines with mode: 'fallback' (what the run hit, after which the agent hand-carbonized several hundred lines across three stylesheets, including unrequested drive-by edits); where it returns false, accept writes the variant into the throwaway artifact and reports handled: true while real source never changes. The E2E suite could not have caught this. Every fixture puts source under `src/`, which is searched before the `.` walk can reach `.impeccable`. Five framework fixtures and three progressive scenarios pass because of fixture layout, not because the path works. I read that as evidence and shouldn't have. - Never search `.impeccable`: it is Impeccable's own state, never project source. - Retire a session's staged artifacts on accept/discard, so they cannot outlive the session and become a decoy for anything else that walks the tree. - Regression tests use a site/pages layout with artifacts present. All three fail against the previous code. Generator subagent removed, on both harnesses: The parent must hand-compress the design system into the handoff, and compression is lossy. Measured on the real run: a 6,826-char handoff carrying exactly one token reference, after the parent had itself read kinpaku-tokens.css. The subagent then spent 3 of its first 9 turns hunting DESIGN.md, gave up, and emitted 0 var(--token) uses and 22 raw oklch literals — violating its own spec's "Never invent raw colors when tokens exist" — including a 1:1 gold-on-gold contrast bug. Isolation is not a benefit here; knowing the design system is the job. Generation stays in the main thread, which already holds the tokens and writes them from the first byte, so carbonize is a move rather than a translation. Copy edits keep their subagent: applying a known set of ops to a named file is self-contained, so an isolated context costs nothing. That is the line. Progressive delivery stays for Codex and Claude Code, main-thread driven. Claude Code keeps the full benefit because its poll is a background task. Codex's poll blocks the foreground, so with no subagent the user sees variant 1 early via HMR but cannot accept it until the trio finishes; that is the cost of the simplification and it is worth naming. Prepared with AI assistance under maintainer direction. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * Rip out the dead isolated-preview mode and the private repo's job Comparing this branch's live against main's turned up two whole features that never made sense here. -2,466 lines. 1. The isolated source-artifact preview was never switched on. `scaffoldSourceArtifactSession` is only reachable via live-wrap's `--isolated`, and nothing passes it: not the server's preflight, not live.md, nothing. Proved it end-to-end — the default wrap writes markers straight into real source and creates no previews/ session. So the mode was wired through three modules, carried its own accept/discard branches, browser branches, server metadata resolution, preview-mode classifier entry, and test suites, and none of it could run. Worse, live.md documented it as the active path and told the agent "The true source is only the publisher's hash fence and must remain byte-identical until Accept." That is false: the wrapper lands in source at scaffold time and each revision rewrites it. An agent following that sentence believes source is protected when it isn't, and the leftover artifacts are what made accept resolve the wrong file in the first real run. live.md now describes what actually happens, including that markers are visible in source until Accept or Discard. Removed: source-artifact.mjs, --isolated, the preflight's isolated option, the accept/discard branches, four dead browser branches, the server's previews/ resolution, the classifier entry, and their tests. Kept the previews/ gitignore pattern: an ignore line for a directory that cannot exist is free, and a test pins it. 2. Quality judging belongs to the private evals repo, which says so. runner/live/README.md there is explicit: the public repo owns protocol correctness, framework coverage, timing, source commit, recovery, and a rubric-free evidence bundle; the private repo owns the task corpus, baselines, comparative judges, and release-quality decisions — "Do not add quality rubrics, competitor comparisons, or broad fixture corpora to the public Live benchmark." This branch added exactly those: an LLM judge scoring 1-10 on "off-brand, generic-AI" (live-rendered-quality.mjs, judge-live-rendered.mjs), a cross-provider comparison with a BRAND_CONTRACT rubric (live-provider-benchmark .mjs, benchmark-live-providers.mjs), and a brand-fidelity fixture corpus. All removed, with bench:live:providers and their suite entries. Also removed tests/framework-fixtures/README.md's "External quality-eval fixtures" section: it documented a bench:live workflow using --fixture-dir, --agent=codex, --action and --evidence-bundle, none of which benchmark-live.mjs implements, plus an evidenceCapture block nothing reads. Kept: timing benchmarks (the public repo's half of that boundary), progressive publication, the source lock, poll lanes, and Nuxt/Vue component previews. Coverage note: deleting the isolated suites took the only tests for `source_locked` classification with them, so the plain wrapper path — now the only non-component preview — gets equivalent accept and discard coverage. Both new tests fail if mode:'error' is removed. Prepared with AI assistance under maintainer direction. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * Flag inset stripes written with the two-length box-shadow form box-shadow takes <length>{2,4}: only the two offsets are required, so `inset 4px 0 red` is valid and paints the same single-edge stripe as `inset 4px 0 0 red`. The scan demanded a third length, so the short form was silently missed. Blur and spread now default to 0 when omitted, which is exactly the stripe shape the rule looks for. The neutral-color and blur/spread exclusions still hold: `inset 4px 0 #000` and `inset 4px 0 5px var(--brand-accent)` both pass. Fixture covers both orders of the short form plus those two exclusions, and fails against the previous regex. Third false negative found in this rule (after trailing `inset` and literal neutral colors), all from the same cause: the scan was written against one spelling of the syntax rather than the grammar. Prepared with AI assistance under maintainer direction. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * Live: polling rework, source locks, preflight scaffolding, Vue previews Carved out of #371, minus progressive publication. Everything here works against real project source the way main's Live already does: the agent writes variants into the file the browser loaded, HMR fires, Accept promotes and carbonizes. Nothing is staged anywhere. Poll lanes. Events now carry an explicit priority: accept/discard/exit ahead of manual_edit_apply/steer/carbonize_cleanup ahead of generate. A long generate can no longer sit in front of the Accept the user just clicked. leaseEvent claims its lease before awaiting, so a slow prepare cannot hand the same event to two pollers. Source locks. A per-file mutex around every accept and discard path, keyed on a digest of the absolute path. Staleness is decided by owner-pid liveness rather than mtime, so a wedged lock clears when its owner dies instead of after an arbitrary timeout, and a slow-but-live accept is never stolen from. Only the owning process can release a lock. Preflight scaffolding. The server runs live-wrap (or live-insert) before the poll returns and hands the result back as event.scaffold. That walk is measured at ~7.6s on a large repo; moving it off the agent's critical path removes a deterministic tool round trip without touching the generated design. Falls back cleanly to the agent running the helper itself. Vue previews. previewMode: "vue-component" for Nuxt/Vue targets, matching the existing Svelte component path: variants compile as real SFCs from a dev-only directory so the route is never rewritten during generation, and Vite mounts them without invalidating page state. Accept is the only route write. Includes a Vue attr tokenizer that normalizes shorthand bindings (@x, :x, #x) to their canonical forms. Accept hardening. Every thrown failure now returns mode: 'error' rather than an ambiguous unhandled result, so a real failure is never classified as a deliberate manual handoff and silently dropped. The marker search skips node_modules/.git/dist/build/.impeccable. Shared CLI arg parsing extracted to scripts/lib/cli-args.mjs. Assisted-by: Claude Code * Drop the progressive benchmark, remove dead wrap scaffolding Review fallout from removing progressive publication. The Live benchmark existed to compare atomic against progressive delivery: compareModelBackedReports measures goToFirstVariantMs improvement of one over the other. With progressive gone it measures nothing against nothing. Worse, benchmark-live.mjs still passed `progressive` to bootFixtureSession, which no longer accepts it, so `--delivery progressive` was silently ignored and would have emitted reports labeled progressive that actually ran atomic. Silent wrong data is worse than a crash. It was built for progressive, so it goes with progressive: benchmark-live.mjs, its lib, its test, and the bench:live script. If an atomic latency baseline is wanted later, that is a smaller thing built on purpose. live-wrap.mjs: sourceOriginalLines was assigned and never read. Both found by review bots on #381 (Copilot). Assisted-by: Claude Code * Drop the Vue preview mode; it never reached Svelte's accept path Cursor found that inlineVueComponentAccept never receives paramValues, while the Svelte equivalent uses them in 23 places: Accept on a tuned Vue variant silently persisted the default and threw the user's tuning away. Chasing that corrected something I had asserted the other way round. I said Vue's raw-CSS-append was inherited from the Svelte path. It is not. svelte-component.mjs calls sanitizeAcceptedSvelteCss before writing, which sanitizes the CSS and bakes tuned params into it. vue-component.mjs had no sanitize step at all — it appended the variant's <style scoped> body into whatever style block came last, so a variant could leak CSS site-wide when the last block was global, and brace CSS landed in a lang="sass" block. Both are the same defect: the Vue mode mirrored Svelte's preview path without its accept-side subsystem (bakeParamValuesInCss, sanitizeAcceptedSvelteCss, appendSanitizedCssRule, rewriteAcceptedSvelteSelector, rewriteParamSelectors — roughly 200 lines of CSS rewriting). Both were introduced here, not inherited. A shipped Vue session could leak styles and discard tuning without saying so. So it comes out. The poll lanes, source locks, preflight scaffolding, and accept hardening do not depend on it and are worth landing now. Vue returns when its accept path reaches parity. The nuxt-vite7 fixture goes back to main's plain-wrapper shape. Assisted-by: Claude Code * Stop the lease redelivery test racing the scheduler CI failed `does not drop polled events until the agent acknowledges them` on a commit whose content was byte-identical to one that passed, which is the signature of a flake rather than a regression. The test leased an event for 50ms, then asserted a second poll saw a timeout because the lease was still held. That gave the whole second HTTP round trip a 50ms real-time budget: cross it and the lease expires, the event is redelivered, and the assertion fails for a scheduling hiccup instead of a bookkeeping bug. Locally it passed 6/6; a loaded runner is where it bites. Hold the lease for 1000ms so a round trip cannot cross it, and wait LEASE_MS + 300 before asserting redelivery, so each half has headroom in the direction it asserts. Verified by injecting a 60ms stall before the second poll: the old test fails with exactly the CI message, the new one passes. Assisted-by: Claude Code * Recover live sessions that reload past the generation done broadcast The preflight scaffold write (new in this PR) triggers a framework full-reload — Astro reloads the page for any .astro edit. When the agent's variant write and its done SSE land while the browser is mid-reload, the resumed page misses both the second HMR reload and the done broadcast: it comes back up on the scaffold-only source and waits in GENERATING at 0/N forever, with the finished variants sitting in source. This is the astro-vite7 CI timeout; the failure artifacts show the full sequence (scaffold at 26.319s, done at 26.515s, the new page's browser_resumed checkpoint at 26.653s, DOM still scaffold-only). Three-part fix: - session-store: agent_done now stamps a monotone generationCompletedAt on the snapshot. Browser checkpoints legitimately regress phase and arrivedVariants (a resumed page reports what it sees), so completion needed a field checkpoints cannot un-set. - live-browser: on every SSE (re)connect, compare the session summary's generationCompletedAt against local progress; when behind while GENERATING, pull the finished variants from source (same settle delay as the done handler's HMR-first fallback). Covers both orderings of resumed-checkpoint vs agent_done. Also, the source-fallback empty- wrapper branch no longer tears the session down mid-generation — a scaffold-only wrapper is a legitimate in-flight state, so stay in GENERATING instead of destroying a session the agent is still filling. - live-server: a browser checkpoint reporting generating/behind for a session whose generation already completed re-broadcasts the stored done (idempotent for every other tab), and connected-payload summaries expose generationCompletedAt for the browser-side check. Coverage: live-server unit tests for redelivery, the no-redelivery guard, and marker durability across checkpoint regression; plus a deterministic live-e2e scenario on astro-vite7 that blocks the reloaded page's SSE stream and mocks its HMR websocket dead until after the agent finishes, forcing the missed-broadcast window every run. All new tests fail against the pre-fix code. The e2e harness additionally gains an IMPECCABLE_E2E_ATOMIC_DELAY_MS lever (widens the scaffold-to-write window) and env-gated console/nav tracing (IMPECCABLE_E2E_CONSOLE=1) used to diagnose this. The hypothesis that preflight opens a wrapper-with-no-variants window came from Copilot's review sketch in the follow-up WIP PR; the killing mechanism differs from that sketch (nothing calls recoverEmptyCycling in the CI trace — the session hangs precisely because no code path runs at all), but the window is real and the guard it suggested is folded into the source-fallback fix. Assisted-by: Claude Code Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com> * Retry a completion-driven source fallback that reads only the scaffold Greptile flagged a hole in the previous commit's empty-scaffold guard: when a `done` has already been delivered, the source fallback gets exactly one read. If that read returns the preflight-only scaffold (a stale source view, or an agent whose write lands in multiple steps), the guard's silent return left the tab in GENERATING with no further event ever coming — the same stuck state the previous commit fixed, reintroduced through a different door. Callers that know generation finished (the done handler's fallback and the SSE-reconnect self-heal) now pass generationCompleted, and an empty read on that path re-reads the source up to 3 times before surfacing recoverEmptyCycling instead of hanging. Mid-generation callers are unchanged and still wait indefinitely — a real agent can legitimately take minutes between scaffold and write, and tearing that down was the original #385 hazard. The missed-done e2e scenario now also serves a captured scaffold-only copy for the first post-reconnect /source read, forcing the retry path every run. Verified failing against the pre-retry code (tab stranded in GENERATING, test timeout) and passing with it.

Scope a single rule to a file with ignore-value "*" --file (#379)
* Scope a single rule to a file with ignore-value "*" --file
`ignore-file <glob>` was the only file-scoped escape the hook offered, and
it is far blunter than most findings justify: it silences every rule for
that path forever, including rules not written yet. A real UI surface with
one noisy rule had no proportionate option.
Add a file scope to `ignore-value`, so one rule can be turned off in
matching files while staying active everywhere else:
hooks ignore-value design-system-font-size "*" --file "src/widget.js"
- Refuse a bare `"*"` with no `--file`. Suppressing a rule project-wide is
`ignore-rule`'s job, and the error says so.
- Reject unknown `--flags` instead of folding them into the value.
`ignore-value overused-font Inter --shard` stored the value
"inter --shard", matched no finding, and reported success.
- Key dedup on the file scope too. The same rule/value legitimately
appears more than once with different scopes; the old rule+value key
silently overwrote the earlier entry.
- Keep normalizer key order (rule, value, files, createdAt, reason) in
step across both copies. Normalizing runs on every write, so emitting a
different order than what is on disk rewrites untouched entries.
- Lead with the narrow form in the hook's directive footer and hooks.md;
`ignore-file` is now documented as the whole-file-out-of-scope case.
Dogfoods it on skill/scripts/live-browser.js, where all 32 findings are
design-system-font-size: the overlay is injected over arbitrary host pages
and builds a self-contained UI, so DESIGN.md's ramp does not describe it.
The other rules stay live for that file.
Assisted-by: Claude Code
* Show the file scope in hooks status, and stop the wildcard error misdirecting
Two findings from Cursor.
status formatted every ignore value as rule=value and dropped files. Now
that the primary hooks path writes file-scoped `"*"` entries, that rendered
`design-system-font-size=*` — which reads as exactly the project-wide
wildcard this command refuses, the opposite of what is on disk. Print the
scope, matching the `rule=value [files]` shape `impeccable ignores list`
already uses. This repo's own config already carries several scoped
wildcards written through the CLI path, so status has been under-reporting
them.
The bare-wildcard refusal always pointed at `ignore-rule <rule>`. For
overused-font that command refuses on its own without --all-values, so the
guidance handed the user a second error. Name the flag for that rule.
Assisted-by: Claude Code
* Refuse an empty --file glob, and store multi-file scopes in canonical order
Two Copilot findings, both the silent-no-op class this PR exists to remove.
An empty glob was dropped by filter(Boolean). So
`ignore-value overused-font Inter --file=` reported "Added
overused-font=inter" and wrote an entry with no files: the user asked to
scope a rule to one file and silently got the project-wide suppression
instead — broader than what they asked for, reported as success. Refuse an
empty or whitespace glob on every form (--file, --file=, --files, --files=)
in both the hook-admin and CLI paths.
Multi-file scopes were deduped but not ordered, and the dedup key compares
the files array, so `--file b.css --file a.css` stored a second entry
distinct from `--file a.css --file b.css`. Sort at parse so storage is
canonical, and sort inside the key so entries already on disk in another
order still compare equal.
Assisted-by: Claude Code
* Sort files in every dedup key, not just two of the four
My previous commit sorted the file scope at parse time and inside
ignoreValueFilesKey, and stopped there. Cursor pointed out ignoreValueKey
(CLI) and ignoreValueEntryKey (hook-admin) still joined `files` in stored
order, so add/remove dedup missed any on-disk scope whose glob order
differed from the sorted argv form: a re-add duplicated the entry and a
remove silently failed.
Four functions hash `files`; I had fixed two. All four sort now. The
remaining `files.join(', ')` call sites are display, not keys.
Verified against a config seeded in non-sorted order, as an older client
would have written it: the re-add updates the existing entry rather than
duplicating it, and remove-value finds it. Test covers that shape.
Assisted-by: Claude Code
* Refuse a following flag as a --file glob
Cursor again, same class as the last two. requireGlob checked non-empty but
not whether the argv it consumed was itself a flag, so
`ignore-value design-system-font-size "*" --file --reason "why"` took
`--reason` as the scope, left "why" to fold into the value, stored
value="* why" files=["--reason"], and reported success. Garbage, announced
as done.
Refuse a glob starting with `--`, in both the hook-admin and CLI paths.

bolder.md: refinement procedure from campaign learnings
Rewrite the routed bolder reference around what wins scoped "make this section bolder" asks vs the frontend-design competitor. Old prose was all visual levers and treated copy as secondary, so the model kept flat placeholder copy verbatim and reached for a decorative import for heft. New prose: scope stays sovereign; diagnose flatness as opting out of the system's own moves; amplify the system's own vocabulary; let content carry the weight; commit then clarify; give the section its own scroll rhythm; a skeleton test scoped to the section; a placeholder is a job, not a photo cue. Drops the opening named-slop enumeration (self-priming) and the 120-line checklist (ceremony tax); now 31 lines. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

the direction becomes a visible contract in the artifact
Transcript evidence (a12 01-observability): plans commit and deliver on the axes with contract-strength language (palette, type, even theme inversion) and stay default on the axis without one (layout gets a single conventional breath). And plans living in invisible reasoning means nothing can hold a build to its intent. The direction is now written as a comment block at the top of the artifact answering: the concept, the hour-later memory, why not the modal competitor page, the signature, the first viewport's move.

deprecate craft: the build flow lives in new-work.md, checkpoints are a mode
Per Paul: rather than gating a second file, fold what made the craft path superior into the file both models already read 21/21 through the gate. new-work.md gains 'Decide, then build' (direction as one confirmable paragraph; attended pauses, unattended records-and-goes; codex.md mock flow when image generation exists) and 'Finish like a studio' (inspect, honest critique, patch, detector). craft becomes a deprecated alias like teach: invoking it forces attended checkpoints, nothing else differs; the reference is a redirect stub. codex.md retargeted.

mode belongs to the surface; palette sources are exclusive

de-SaaS the skill: mode-aware rules, neutral runtime injections, diversified examples
Fix batch from the visitor-mode bias audit. The skill's four modes (Persuade / Operate / Read / Experience) now reach the places that were still hard-coded to a SaaS-marketing default: - palette.mjs: rewrote 45 seed blurbs in material/world terms. The 29 tech-tool-world moods (13 Linear-indigo variants, 6 Figma-era, 5 climate-tech, 3 fintech, 2 Glossier DTC, incl. seed-201's docs-page CTA red) lose all company names and product-category words; Aesop trimmed from 17 blurbs to 4 and Klim from 7 to 4, excess rewritten as unnamed material terms. Also carries the earlier bg-block rewrite (brand refs out of the composition doc). - init.md: register explainer now names the four modes and the family each belongs to (stored value stays brand/product for compatibility); Conversion & proof interview + PRODUCT.md section gated to Persuade surfaces only (Experience/Read get no CTA/belief-ladder/proof). - critique.md: Nielsen heuristics 7 and 10 may score n/a on Persuade and Experience surfaces, total renormalized to the applicable max, snapshot records which were n/a; working-memory examples diversified beyond dashboard/pricing anatomy. - Register headers in bolder/delight/quieter/colorize/layout/animate/ typeset renamed from Brand:/Product: to Persuade + Experience: / Operate + Read:; typeset and layout gain one Read-specific sentence (steady reading measure; navigable linearity). - animate.md: plan checklist and implementation order lead with feedback and transitions; the single entrance moment comes after, scoped to modes that invite it. - codex.md: mock inventory says "primary-action treatment (when the surface has one)" instead of assuming a CTA. - delight.md: loading/empty-state/console-egg examples diversified beyond SaaS; streaks/badges scoped to Operate surfaces with recurring tasks. - distill.md: step-removal and next-action lines neutralized away from signup/checkout/CTA vocabulary. - document.md: canonical button label GET STARTED -> SAVE CHANGES; signature components gain a non-marketing example. - antipatterns registry: single-font rule renamed to "Single font without hierarchy" with a description that permits one family when weight/size contrast carries hierarchy.

new-work: mode-neutral spine instead of a corrective lens
Paul: the mode-governs section was de-biasing a persuade-tinted playbook rather than writing neutral prose, the exact compensating- paragraph anti-pattern. Rewritten: the corrective section is gone; the first-viewport thesis speaks of the concept doing its job (the work, the product, the content, the task); everything-bold's form list includes the exact-system form natively; prove-don't-claim covers content delivering; type guidance is parameterized by mode in one sentence.

Paul's gallery check of the a8 docs run: skill-on still SaaS-ified the documentation page. The playbook was persuade-flavored end to end, so gating a greenfield Read surface through it risked amplifying exactly that. New leading section: on Operate and Read surfaces boldness means a committed system (typographic voice, spacing rhythm, one owned accent, inevitable structure), the thesis is the content or the task itself, and nothing invented may stand between the visitor and what they came to do.

Stubs removed per Paul (register: values remain harmless family hints; nothing points at the files anymore). craft.md now opens by defining itself against plain invocation: a bare build request goes straight through the gate and the craft floor; craft is the supervised path with guaranteed checkpoints and the mock pipeline.

finish the mode migration: brand.md/product.md become redirect stubs
Answering the obvious question the family-depth framing dodged: with modes derived per task, files named for the old two-register taxonomy had no architectural reason to exist. brand.md's surviving depth (lane test + inverse test, reflex-reject lanes, color discipline, layout moves, permissions) folds into new-work.md, where all of it belonged: it is new-identity Persuade/Experience guidance. product.md's content moves unchanged to operate.md, its true name. Both old files remain as one-line redirect stubs because register: brand|product in existing PRODUCT.md files and older links point there. All cross-references retargeted (SKILL.md modes intro, context.mjs REGISTER hint, live.md, typeset.md); 85 tests green. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

reference consolidation: single source of truth across core, new-work, brand, product, craft
Overlap audit after the new-work split. brand.md slims to family depth that exists nowhere else (aesthetic-lane tests, named-reference discipline, brand layout moves and permissions); everything it duplicated against new-work.md and the core (font procedure, reject list, color strategy, imagery, scale/leading) is deleted, killing the two-copies-drift hazard. product.md keeps its Operate depth nearly intact (it was not duplicated) and gains a scope note covering Read surfaces. craft.md becomes pure orchestration: gates, foundation, shape handoff, image-gen flow, engineering bar, iterate, present; its duplicated design guidance (imagery rules, visual-craft bullets, mandatory reference reads) is replaced by pointers to SKILL.md's craft floor and new-work.md.

skill v4.0.0-alpha.9: daily-driver core + mandatory new-work playbook
Architecture per Paul: impeccable is primarily a daily driver on existing codebases; the always-loaded core should serve that 90% path, not carry the full generative arsenal on every invocation. SKILL.md now holds brief-wins, existing-worlds (the headline path), the four visitor modes, the full craft floor, and a hard gate: new identity work (greenfield, or a redesign discarding the current look) MUST read reference/new-work.md before any design decision. That file carries the generative playbook (seed, subject grounding, plan/self-check/signature, hero-thesis, everything-bold, prove-don't-claim, color commitment, calibration, persuade type/imagery). context.mjs enforces the gate mechanically: NEW_WORK directive when no PRODUCT.md/DESIGN.md exists, and the old mandatory register-file read is replaced by a REGISTER family hint. No surfaces: map anywhere; mode is derived per task. Gate compliance is measurable via skillEvidence.directSkillFileReads. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

hooks: two-tier design hook — immediate per-edit rules + full-set Stop deep pass
Eval evidence showed the per-edit PostToolUse stream fires overwhelmingly
on copy-level rules (em-dash-overuse ~97x/session) and measurably makes
models more conservative, while a full-detector pass at completion is what
actually fixes contrast/padding/glow. Split the hook accordingly:
- Per-edit (PostToolUse) now surfaces only IMMEDIATE_TIER_RULES: broken
output (broken-image, text-overflow, clipped-overflow-container,
body-text-viewport-edge), objective contrast/legibility failures
(low-contrast, gray-on-color, tiny-text), single-property mechanical
slop (gradient-text, dark-glow), and design-system drift (the four
design-system-* rules, which compound if left uncorrected). Everything
else defers. Override with hook.perEditRules: "all" in
.impeccable/config.json. Tiering is off for Cursor/Copilot harnesses,
which have no Stop pass wired, so nothing gets silently dropped there.
- Stop deep pass (runStopHook): runs the FULL rule set over every UI file
touched this session (tracked via the existing hook.cache.json session
state; deferred-only edits now mark the file touched), dedupes against
everything already surfaced per-edit, honors ignore-rule/file/value and
inline disables, reuses the [impeccable@1] envelope, and no-ops fast
when no UI files were touched. Emits hookSpecificOutput
{ hookEventName: "Stop", additionalContext } per the Claude Code SDK
Stop contract (conversation continues so the model can act on it).
Second Stop fire is silent - deep-pass findings are remembered.
- Wiring: Stop entries (timeout 30) in plugin/hooks/hooks.json, the
.claude settings + .codex hooks manifests (transformers + hook-admin
repair path). Claude Code and Codex both dispatch a native Stop event;
Cursor's stop hook is inconsistently dispatched (pre-write gate stays)
and Copilot's agentStop/sessionEnd don't inject model context, so
neither gets a Stop entry - documented in reference/hooks.md.
- Tests: tiering split/override/harness gating, Stop dedupe + silent
no-touched-files + ignore machinery + kill switches; existing per-edit
tests moved to immediate-tier rule ids. 181 tests green; smoke-tested
the built dist skill end to end (glow surfaced per-edit, em-dash only
at Stop, second Stop silent).

skill v4.0.0-alpha.4: the lean core — full design guidance at a quarter the length
Pairwise evals on Fable one-shot (6-task regression set, opus-4-8 judge, position-bias-cancelled): the hand-distilled ~55-line lean core beat the heavy v4 core 66% overall / 67% craft head-to-head, and moved the decisive win-rate vs frontend-design from 13% to 27% (40% with the completion-time QA scan; craft went positive 6-5 for the first time). 18/18 lean samples ran context.mjs + palette.mjs vs a minority under the heavy core: shorter instructions get followed. Context weight itself was suppressing both compliance and boldness. Structure: persona + brief-wins + existing-worlds + subject-grounding + plan/self-check + boldness + prove-don't-claim + commit + calibration + compressed craft floor + two-paragraph registers. Commands table kept; the no-arg context-aware menu logic moved to reference/routing.md (read on demand in the only case that is inherently interactive). Provider blocks and rule anchors preserved.

skill v4a2: seed defers to subject's world; unattended-mode gates for craft/shape; init skip when no user
Eval evidence (cand-v4a1-prose): palette.mjs handed a random violet seed to the Polish-TV lektor brief and the model anchored on it, overriding subject-grounding; craft/shape user gates can't fire in one-shot runs and each model improvises around them. Seed is now a reflex-check that yields to a subject-dictated palette; craft/shape gain an explicit unattended mode (same bar, no waiting); init interview is skipped when no user can respond.

Expand init to capture positioning, conversion, and proof context (#315)
* Add positioning and conversion questions to init flow Expand init.md so PRODUCT.md captures audience splits, positioning, and brand-register conversion/proof context before design work starts. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * Fix init over-inference by raising the evidence bar for skipping questions. Sparse repos were letting the model treat weak guesses as settled answers; Step 3 now asks unless the codebase provides strong, explicit evidence. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * Improve init interview order and PRODUCT.md proof output shape. Ask positioning in round 1, actively collect proof assets, and give Proof & conversion a plain bullet skeleton so generated PRODUCT.md stays lean. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * Fix init interview bundling and write-time padding, verified via harness runs Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * Revert init reference follow-up rule to advisory wording on line 88 Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * Tighten init interview rules after harness runs: split register, options, prose Settle split register before brand-only questions, require standalone emotions and confirmed secondary audiences, forbid compound options, and keep PRODUCT.md bold minimal. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * Ask brand-register init questions in magazine-editor voice, no skill jargon Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * Fix init chat fallback to ask one question at a time When no structured question tool exists, init should ask in chat with lettered options and wait for each answer instead of dumping a list. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * Resolve init review comments: split purpose question, gate template section Purpose and success are now separate questions, and docs-stated purpose is framed as a hypothesis below the strong-evidence bar rather than a competing always-ask rule. The PRODUCT.md template now tells product register to omit the Conversion & proof section including its heading. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * Keep belief-sequence question out of skill jargon Ask what visitors must believe in plain words; map the answer to the template belief ladder in a parenthetical instead of leading with the term.

Add mechanical pre-scan for typeset and layout (#345)
* Add mechanical pre-scan for typeset and layout commands. Introduce --scope filtering, layout/type rule scopes, DESIGN.md font-size validation, and pre-scan steps in the skill references so agents run detect before LLM judgment. Fixes #149 Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * Add isolated sub-agent orchestration for typeset and layout pre-scans. Run the mechanical detector and visual assessment in parallel sub-agents so deterministic findings cannot anchor LLM judgment, matching the critique pattern Paul requested on PR #345. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * Fix: reject bare --scope so detect never scans unscoped by mistake. When --scope had no value, the CLI dropped the flag and ran a full scan instead of failing, which could silently use the wrong rule set during typeset/layout pre-scans. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * Fix: require both typeset and layout assessments in sub-agents. Close a loophole where agents ran only the mechanical pre-scan inline by interpreting "running both" as permitting one inline assessment.

Route native projects to native command variants (audit, adapt) (#357)
* Route native projects to native command variants for audit and adapt Follow-up to #269. The web audit.md and adapt.md carried "translate this yourself" Platform notes, so a native invocation paid for the full web file (~1.8k / ~2.6k tokens, mostly inapplicable) and did error-prone run-time translation. Authored with AI assistance (Claude Code) under maintainer direction. - New reference/audit.native.md and reference/adapt.native.md: authored native content (VoiceOver/TalkBack, platform conformance, adaptivity dimensions; phone-to-tablet, platform-to-platform, web-to-native strategies). One variant per command covers ios, android, and adaptive; per-OS specifics stay in the platform refs Setup loads regardless. - SKILL.src.md: Commands table lists the variants; Setup step 2 reads the variant instead of the web file when the platform is native. - audit.md / adapt.md: Platform sections replaced with a one-line web-only guard pointing at the variant. - animate.md / layout.md: Platform sections deleted; the Motion and Layout sections of the already-loaded platform refs carry that content. Web users now pay zero tokens for the platform axis in these files. - Skill-behavior scenario 15 pins the route-instead behavior (passes live on claude-sonnet-4-6); CLAUDE.md documents the variant convention. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Phrase command-reference routing as one rule, not rule-plus-exception Copilot review catch: step 2 said "MUST read reference/<command>.md" and then carved out the native variant, which invites loading both files. Now a single rule: read the web reference or the table's native variant, one file, not both. Scenario 15 re-verified live. Applied with AI assistance (Claude Code) under maintainer direction. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Anchor native runs in animate/layout, drop loaded-refs assumption Review-thread fixes, applied with AI assistance (Claude Code) under maintainer direction: - Greptile: deleting the animate/layout Platform sections left native runs alone with web tooling instructions (CSS keyframes, GSAP, Grid, clamp()). Restore a one-line anchor in each pointing at the loaded platform reference's Motion / Layout section (~20 tokens, not the old restatements). - Bugbot: audit.native.md and adapt.native.md asserted the platform refs were "already loaded in Setup", but the command reference loads at step 2, before step 5. Now they instruct: read the platform reference first if Setup hasn't already. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Carry the native-variant rule into routing rules 2 and 3 Bugbot catch: Setup step 2 routed native projects to the variant, but routing rules 2 and 3 (the operative text at command time) still said to load the generic reference file. Both now reference the same one-file variant rule. Applied with AI assistance (Claude Code) under maintainer direction. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Point animate/layout native anchors at the files, not "loaded" refs Bugbot catch, same class as the variant wording fix: the anchor lines said "the loaded platform reference" but command files load at step 2, before the platform refs at step 5. Both anchors now name the files and instruct reading them first if Setup hasn't already. Applied with AI assistance (Claude Code) under maintainer direction.
