/designing §01 is reframed around the words → pictures → code arc.
The phase sub covers teach, shape, and craft in one breath; the body
splits into two labeled micro-steps ("teach · in words" and
"shape + craft · in pictures") so the new image-gen spread reads as
step 2 of the same flow instead of a separate topic. Generated plates
from GPT Image 2 sit as an editorial two-up beside their brand and
hi-fi captions. Also fixes a long-standing font-size mismatch where
<code> inside .designing-phase-sub fell back to the browser's default
monospace.
Homepage: inserts a new "Visualize, then build" slot at position 02 of
The Case carousel, compact two-plate visual, shifts the remaining
eight slots to 03-09.

New /designing page: the missing "how do I actually use this tool?" story,
organized around a four-phase core loop. Start, iterate, polish, maintain.
Text-dominant editorial sections, cards are rare, spacing pulls from
DESIGN.md's scale only.
Hero runs as a single editorial spread: title and lede on the left,
a compass loop on the right. The compass is a thin ink circle with
cardinal phase labels at N/E/S/W, clockwise arrow glyphs at 45°
transit points, a slow orbiting accent dot, and an italic impeccable
wordmark in the middle. Collapses to vertical stack below 880px.
Phase sections below the hero are full width. Each opens with a
numbered eyebrow, italic Cormorant title (spine), and a 60ch sub.
Appendix sections (register cross-link, DESIGN.md interop, what to
avoid, CTA) use a quieter title tier in roman to separate spine from
supporting material. All separators are 1px mist hairline, no 2px
black rules; rhythm comes from variable padding and margins.
Adds /live-mode hero-frame polish, new top-nav entry (Home · Designing
· Docs · Anti-Patterns · Live · Overlay), footer link, and the server
route for /designing.

- why-panel tab swap is a proper opacity+transform crossfade (display:grid
stack area) instead of display:none jump; 650/800ms ease-out.
- tab progress indicator animates linearly (timer, not eased).
- Panel 01: dropped redundant "Every command reads this…" footer; moved the
commands meta into the visual as a right-side sidebar aside PRODUCT.md.
- Panel 02: "Browse the full catalog →" moved under the Gallery of Shame;
pattern category tabs are now always a single-row horizontal scroll with
JS-tracked edge-fade mask and chevron affordances; click centers the
selected tab inside the strip (never scrolls the page).
- Panel 04: "register" → "mode" in body, labels, meta for plain-language.
- Panel 05: removed redundant "Works in Claude Code…" meta.
- Panel 06: removed "Spec-compliant. Interoperable. Not a proprietary
sidecar." meta.
- .language-content grid gap reduced from --spacing-lg to --spacing-sm so
the commands palette sits closer to the section lead.

Adds a coarse-controls ("Tune") popover that slides out from behind the
contextual bar via clip-path, showing 2-4 per-variant knobs (range / steps /
toggle) driven by a `data-impeccable-params` manifest. Range/toggle drive
CSS custom properties on the variant wrapper; steps toggle a data
attribute. Values reset per variant; on accept, current values are passed
through live-poll to live-accept as an `impeccable-param-values` comment
for the carbonize cleanup step to bake in.
Other live-UI work in this change:
- Theme-aware palette (barPaletteForTheme) now drives the contextual bar,
action picker, and tune popover. Dark sand on light pages, paper on
dark. Detection has a localStorage dev override for QA.
- Action picker chips get inline SVG icons (wand / bars / funnel / sparkle /
type ramp / circles / grid / devices / curve / star / bolt) stacked
above the label; selection state recolors via currentColor.
- Accept button switched to saturated site magenta with paper text.
- Cycle dots reworked: solid accent for active, neutral for arrived,
hairline ring for pending. No more magenta-on-gray noise.
- Tune chip sits in the cycling row with a count pill badge; open state
uses accentSoft bg + accent text (no ad-hoc white border).
- Popover uses the bar's palette with a deeper surface (surfaceDeep),
lives behind the bar via z-index so a 6px overlap reads as tucked under
it, and animates with clip-path inset() for reliable slide behavior.
