Restrained mode now reads the palette like screen 02: primary-tinted
headline, tertiary eyebrow, secondary gradient hero, outlined ghost
CTA, and four-role gallery accents. Artboards lift with a soft shadow;
the phone gains surface bars and a second copy line. Each strategy
block sets matching image-gradient stops so committed, full palette,
and drenched transitions stay depthful instead of flat fills.

The heading family name sits big in its own face; one sentence in the
body face names its partner in bold and carries the why line. The
sentence demonstrates the body font, so the Heading/Body labels go.

Screen 04 drops the kicker and the text eyebrow, renders six large
scrollable specimen cards (heading and body each labeled and set in
their own face), and reuses screen 03's dual desktop-plus-phone
artboards with both hero copy blocks typeset live. The type hero
widens its copy column so wide display faces clear the image block.

Screen 03 lets operators compare restrained through drenched strategies on the dual-artboard preview; visual-cues now composes fonts.json before launch, and the picker server exposes it.

Post-rebase repairs after main moved 226 commits (site/ split to the
private impeccable-site repo, DESIGN.md spec now eight sections, register
extraction replaced by extractSectionValue, seed mode rewritten):
- document.md: transplant this branch's seed pipeline (assets, interview,
visual cues, picker) onto main's rewritten file; adopt the canonical
section vocabulary. The interplay with new-work's workshop is left for
PR review.
- picker: vendor kinpaku tokens/kit CSS, hero art, and favicon under
picker/ (site/ no longer exists here); drop the sharp resize step and
ship the compressed JPEG directly; declare astro/sharp-free deps.
- picker-server: read the register via extractSectionValue('Register')
since extractRegister is gone from context.mjs.
- palette.mjs / utils.js / test-suites.mjs / package.json / release.mjs:
rebuild as main's version plus this branch's additions, undoing hunks
the -X theirs replay had clobbered.
- craft.md / shape.md: reset to main (this branch's net change was zero).
- progress bar: animate transform instead of width (design hook finding).
Validation: bun run build green (prose validators clean), bun run test
198/198, picker-server suite 7/7.

gemini-3-pro-image is Google's strongest image model; IMAGE_GEN_MODEL still overrides for the cheaper flash tier.

Ban hex codes from image prompts to stop Nano Banana swatch strips, require crisp deep focus and set-dressed surfaces inside close product-world scenes, and add wordless and real-estate inspection retries. The Gemini wrapper now converts JPEG bytes to PNG and infers AQ.-prefixed keys.

Ship image-gen.mjs with bfl and gemini backends plus custom delegation, document the keyless flow in image-api.md, and tighten seed Step 4 so missing keys ask once and opt-out falls back to text-only seeding. Compile now removes in-folder hero intermediates so each cue keeps one PNG.

Each specialist now generates one hero image instead of a second chroma-key sheet, and the compile step replaces crop with a simpler cues.json shape.
AI-assisted commit.

Drop the two-pass matte pipeline in favor of one chroma-key sheet per
cue: each specialist picks the farthest-hue key, stages larger artifacts
with shadowless crisp edges, reports CHROMA in its reply, and crop records
the hex in cues.json for browser keying downstream.
Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
Artifact crops now ship with real alpha: each sheet is generated twice
(cream, then black via image edit) and fused by a new difference-matting
command, sidestepping models' inability to emit alpha and the chroma
key's spill. Crop and matte reject non-square inputs so squareness must
come from the generation call's 1:1 parameter, and the hero prompt now
demands bright, generous light so palettes stay sampleable.

A live run shipped one hero under three slugs: parallel subagents all
wrote the generation tool's output as a generic hero.png in the shared
project assets folder, then copied and referenced each other's files.
Spawn tasks now require slug-based output filenames, using only the
tool-reported path, a verify-your-own-files check before reporting, and
the parent hashes all heroes before cropping and re-spawns duplicates.

Live cues rendered the good colors as slivers: the hero prompt asked for
an atmospheric scene with a 60% neutral ground and a small accent. The
skeleton now frames tight on the subject and stages each color as a
large unbroken field (neutral about half, primary a continuous third,
tertiary small but legible), with the rationale in the fill rules.

Investigation of a live run showed five of six palettes converging on the
brief's deep-teal anchor: territories were scenic but hue-silent, and the
anchor reached every spawn unscoped. Territories now must close on a hue
ground (no two in one family), the anchor is owned by exactly one
territory with everyone else told to leave it, spawn tasks may not be
compressed, and each subagent critiques its palette and concept against
the rules before generating.

Name the common spawn tools, require all six spawns in a single message,
and call out spawn-await-spawn as the serial-loop failure it is. The
no-subagent fallback now runs all six personas instead of four, so the
user gets six cues on every path.

Drop the sequential palette chain: the parent carves six visual,
emotional, or strategic territories from the brief, then all six
personas spawn in one parallel batch, each composing inside its own
territory and generating both images in the same task.

Personas now compose sequentially, each shown the color territories the
earlier personas claimed, replacing the similarity script and peer
critique as the uniqueness mechanism. Generation moves to a parallel wave
of dedicated image-prompt specialists that stage the finished palettes.

Drop the six-way critique wave from the visual-cues studio: after the
compose wave, the OKLab similarity script loops with revision waves for
flagged personas only (capped at three) until every verdict is clear,
then the generation wave stages the settled palettes.

Drop the parallel "round" vocabulary from the visual-cues studio so one
counting system covers the three spawn waves; the subagent template calls
the palette a first draft instead.

Replace the single-mind palette composition in the visual-cues pipeline
with a three-wave studio: six persona specialists compose in parallel, a
new OKLab similarity command plus peer critiques build each persona's
scorecard, then each revises and generates its hero and artifact sheet.

Document seed mode's palette pick used to ask the user to imagine colors
from words. Add a visual-cues pipeline: compose four-hex palettes from the
brief (mood, references, PRODUCT.md), generate a hero scene plus a cream
artifact sheet per concept, crop the sheet into isolated artifacts, and
write cues.json so the user can pick a direction by eye.

A stored IMAGE_GEN_API_KEY in .impeccable/.env now counts as image generation being available for shape probes and the craft codex flow. The key ask itself stays exclusive to document seed mode; shape and craft still never prompt for APIs or tooling.

Seed questions now avoid skill vocabulary (mirroring init.md's magazine-editor line), and a new step offers 2-4 generated palette cue images: native image_gen when the harness has it, otherwise an opt-in IMAGE_GEN_API_KEY in gitignored .impeccable/.env.
