Four changes driven by human design review of eval artifacts:
1. Static engine contrast fidelity (nav-CTA cascade miss):
- parseAnyColor evaluates color-mix() (premultiplied sRGB mix; exact
for the dominant `color-mix(in oklab, C n%, transparent)` chip form)
- extractStaticColor captures color-mix() balanced instead of plucking
"transparent" out of the expression
- resolveBackground composites translucent layers over the opaque base
in both engines instead of skipping (static) or returning them
as-if-opaque (browser)
- NEW hover pass in the static cascade: :hover rules are matched via
state-stripped selectors, merged per-property against the resting
cascade with real specificity, and checked for WCAG contrast on
styled controls (checkHoverContrast). Catches the recurring miss
where a broader selector (.nav-links a:hover) beats the CTA's own
hover color and drops the pair below AA.
2. New `radial-halo` slop rule: chromatic radial-gradient wash (visible
saturated center -> transparent) as a decorative background on a dark
page. Exempts achromatic vignettes, opaque-end sheens, px-stop dot
textures, url() photo layers, and translucent (<0.7 alpha) staged-
light washes. Separate id from dark-glow so dashboards track the
gradient-drawn variant independently.
3. side-tab horizontal variant: 3-12px chromatic border-top/bottom (and
top/bottom-anchored full-width pseudo stripes) on cards/badges flag as
side-tab. Exempt: tablist/nav/aria-selected underlines, link/button
affordances, table cells, hr, state-conditional pseudo stripes, and
>12px bands. Badge-shaped spans (own visible background) participate.
4. CLI: file:// URLs route to the Puppeteer browser engine (~2s on a
50KB page), and detect --json findings now carry the registry
`category` field so downstream QA loops can separate mechanical slop
tells from judgment calls.
Fixture policy update: flat 3px top-accent cards moved from should-pass
to flag columns; tablist-underline and 16px-band pass cases added.
Browser bundle regenerated.

Paul's a10 review: palettes are refreshed (the palette-exclusivity
line's fingerprint) while layouts stay boring in every version. Same
cure, same shape: the layout has exactly two legitimate sources, the
concept or the content's own structure; the category's habitual
skeleton is neither.

Paul's a11 review: heroes are safe SaaS viewports, everything
predictable; mobile Operate ships dark despite a brief that specifies
outdoors-in-motion use. Decide-then-build now opens with three
one-line directions differing in concept (the instinctive pick that
any studio would reach for is the default wearing your name); the
Operate mode adds: the usage scene is part of the spec, the theme
follows the scene, not the category's habit.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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. Existing-world feature builds remain governed by the core
floor (unmeasured path, noted in the plan doc).

Invocation A/B on Fable (a9 craft-path vs a9-direct plain): the plain
path scored 38% vs the competitor against the craft path's 50%, and
brief fidelity collapsed to 14% vs bare — the direct path drops asked-
for features that craft's direction step and engineering bar preserve.
Routing now sends any build request through the craft orchestration
unprompted (its gates pause only when a user can respond), and the
craft floor gains a brief-coverage recheck: every requirement the brief
names must exist on the page.

Two gaps surfaced by human eval review of real artifacts:
1. side-tab missed the pseudo-element variant. The accent stripe drawn as
an absolutely-positioned ::before/::after (left/right: 0, top+bottom: 0
or height: 100%, narrow width, colored background) uses no border
property at all, so neither the element-level border checks (pseudo
elements never enter the static cascade or DOM walk) nor the
border-left/right regexes could see it. New scanCssTextForPseudoStripe
scans stylesheet text for that shape, mirroring the border rule's
gates: >= 3px thick (<= 12px), chromatic fill (var()-resolved, neutral
dividers skipped), full height against a side edge, with the
blockquote/prose exemptions preserved.
2. New pulsing-dot rule (slop): small circular "live" indicator dots
(<= 16px, border-radius >= 40% or pill values) bound to an infinite
animation whose keyframes vary opacity, scale, or box-shadow — or
pulse/blink/ping names when the keyframes aren't in the scanned text —
plus the Tailwind animate-ping/pulse + rounded-full + tiny-size utility
combo. Rotation-only keyframes (spinners) never flag, including when
they hide behind a pulse-like name.
Both scanners live in checkHtmlPatterns, so the static-html engine and
the browser bundle share the same detection path. Browser/extension
bundles regenerated; docs rule count bumped to 47.

a7 transcript evidence: 01-observability samples drew orange-honey and
green seeds, recited the color-strategy menu, and shipped dark
category-reflex palettes anyway; the model applied the subject's
workmanlike grammar to its own landing page. Two generic lines: the
mode belongs to the surface, not the subject (a landing page for a
dense tool is still Persuade; deciding a page can be plain because its
subject is workmanlike is the category error in reverse), and the
palette has exactly two legitimate sources (seed or the subject's
world; the category's habitual palette is neither).

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.
Staged provider copies regenerated via build:skills:release for the
touched files only.

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. Net shorter.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.

The when-to-choose guidance sat inside the file that only loads after
the choice is made. SKILL.md's routing now says it: bare build requests
build directly through the gate and floor; craft is routed only when
named or when the user asks for a guided, checkpointed build. The
Commands row describes craft by its checkpoints. craft.md's intro just
describes the supervised flow it orchestrates.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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. One shipping-discipline
line joins the core floor (real content, interaction states, respect
the build pipeline) so one-shots inherit the bar that previously lived
only in craft's Step 4.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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>
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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.

Field report: impeccable SaaS-ified a developer docs page; the Opus
galleries showed the same on an album page. Root cause: two registers
force every surface into persuade-or-operate grammar. The register
section now names the visitor's mode first (Persuade / Operate / Read /
Experience) with mode-borrowing called out as the canonical failure,
and PRODUCT.md's register field maps as family (brand = Persuade +
Experience, product = Operate + Read) for compatibility. Read mode:
comprehension deliverable, navigable structure, chrome out of the way.
Experience mode: the artifact leads at every screen size.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Paul's Opus gallery observation: every impeccable 05-experimental-album
generation reads decidedly SaaS while frontend-design's open with the
art itself, especially at narrow viewports. Cause: the brand register
prescribed stop-the-scroll/earn-the-click/convert for ALL brand
surfaces. Split the register's deliverable by surface: product/service
pages convert; cultural surfaces (album, portfolio, publication, body
of work) lead with the artifact, recede the interface, and treat
conversion grammar as a category error — the visitor meets the work in
the first viewport at every screen size.

Paul: everything should be bold, nothing bland; bold is neither
decoration nor clutter but commitment to the concept, whose form the
concept chooses (maximal or severely clean, drenched or monochrome,
piercing copy, the product demonstrating itself). Replaces the
'spend your boldness in one place' rule imported from frontend-design,
whose one-bold-element-on-a-quiet-page framing pulled pages toward the
tasteful softness the galleries showed losing. The signature becomes
where the concept peaks rather than the only place it lives.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Paul's spot-check of the Fable validation galleries: frontend-design's
lektor generations read vastly more distinctive and subject-faithful
despite losing the overall pairwise verdict on craft. The arena agrees
on the axis (distinctiveness 8-31 at n=5). Two additions to the core:
the opening viewport is a thesis (open with the most characteristic
thing in the subject's world, with a concrete memory test), and an
explicit polish-is-the-floor counterweight so the craft floor stops
reading as a mandate for quiet.

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).

gpt-5.6-sol evals: skill-on lost craft 0-25 to bare gpt-5.6; removing
the enumerated codex ban block recovered it to 4-16, confirming the
block's literal CSS patterns self-prime the defects they ban (the same
mechanism the v2.1 ablation sweep documented). Replaced with three
shape-level calibration lines: tracking floor (kept, it's a numeric
ceiling), elevation-declared-once + modest container radius, and
material honesty (real assets, surfaces not decoration, specific
claims). Detector rules continue to enforce the mechanical patterns.

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.

Judge rationales across cand-v4a2 arenas: competitor wins by showing

and sometimes stop at the hero.

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.

Per Paul's guidance: (1) existing committed design systems are the
bread-and-butter case and get a first-class core rule (work inside the
world, no parallel colors/fonts/styles, no perf regressions); (2) a
redesign that discards the current look is new identity work and runs
the full concept/tokens/signature process instead of anchoring to the
incumbent skeleton (the lektor failure); (3) the reflex-reject font list
and physical-object font procedure are brand-register rules, moved out
of the universal Commit section — system stacks and workhorse UI faces
are legitimate, often correct, for product UI, stated positively in the
product register.

- parseAnyColor now covers oklab(), hsl()/hsla(), hwb(), and ~35 common
named colors on top of rgb/rgba/hex/oklch, so checkGlow sees the color
regardless of authoring format (Chrome preserves oklch() in computed
styles, which the old rgba-only match silently passed).
- checkGlow gains a second tell: a zero-offset chromatic box/text-shadow
with blur > 4px is flagged on ANY background (the halo pattern);
achromatic zero-offset shadows and focus rings stay legal. The
existing chromatic-blur-on-dark-background rule is unchanged in
semantics but now parses every color format.
- text-shadow is checked wherever box-shadow was (browser DOM path with
inherited-value dedupe, static engine via new textShadow cascade
support, text engines).
- The page-level text scan (regex engine + checkHtmlPatterns) is now a
shared scanCssTextForGlow that resolves single-level var() refs
against custom properties collected from the same text; unresolvable
var() in a shadow color position is skipped, never guessed. Its
dark-page heuristic accepts var()/oklch backgrounds but only when
declared at root scope (body/html/:root or body inline style).
- dark-glow keeps its id; registry name/description updated to cover
both cases.
Validated: three eval repro samples with oklch / var(--x) glows that
previously produced zero findings now flag on the static CLI path; ten
known-good largerun samples stay clean except one with genuine amber
status-dot halos (0 0 12px oklch(.73 .17 65/.4)).
Note: cli/engine/detect-antipatterns-browser.js and the extension
detector are generated and still need 'node scripts/build-browser-detector.js'
+ 'node scripts/build-extension.js' once builds are unblocked.

One-shot evals on Fable 5 (impeccable-evals notes/fable-oneshot-craft-plan.md)
showed the reference-file architecture failing: models skip the register
reads, so most design guidance never reaches them, and skill-on collapses
toward bare-model output (0/9 pairwise wins vs frontend-design on r10).
SKILL.md is now self-contained for one-shot work: persona, the-brief-wins
rule, ground-it-in-the-subject, a plan/tokens/signature/self-check process
gate, commitment guidance, a compact inline craft floor, and distilled
brand/product registers. Reference files remain as sub-command flows and
optional depth. The enumerated absolute-bans list is retired from prose;
mechanical slop enforcement moves to the detector/hook.

* 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

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* Add a platform axis (web / ios / android / adaptive) to the skill
Orthogonal to register: register decides whether design IS or SERVES the
product; platform decides the delivery target and which native conventions
apply. Set `## Platform` in PRODUCT.md; a missing field defaults to `web`,
so legacy projects are unaffected.
- extractPlatform() in skill/scripts/context.mjs (mirrors extractRegister);
the CLI appends a NEXT STEP directive to read the native reference(s).
`adaptive` (Flutter / RN / KMP shipping both iOS and Android) loads both
ios.md and android.md.
- New reference/ios.md (Apple HIG distilled) and reference/android.md
(Material 3 distilled); reference/web.md is a thin pointer. The native
refs frame register's role as narrow: platform conformance is the bar,
brand lives in the expressive layer the platform gives you, never by
breaking the rails.
- Setup step 5 loads the native reference(s) when platform is native. Live
mode and the detect CLI stay web-only, gated off ios/android/adaptive.
- init asks platform right after register; adapt/audit/animate/layout carry
short platform divergence notes; all secondary spots thread `adaptive`.
- a11y stays in audit.md (loading it at design time makes output timid), so
the native refs carry no Accessibility section; audit.md's Platform
section owns native a11y.
- Tests: extractPlatform unit coverage + skill-behavior scenario 10
(PRODUCT.md platform ios -> agent loads ios.md).
Source-first: only skill/, scripts/, tests/, CLAUDE.md, NOTICE.md, the
changelog and version are committed; the sync workflow regenerates the
provider trees and ./plugin on merge.
ios.md / android.md are distilled from the MIT-licensed
ehmo/platform-design-skills; attribution in NOTICE.md.

* Address review: gate web tools on native platforms, drop version churn
Maintainer-review fixes applied with AI assistance (Claude Code), on top
of the rebased platform-axis commit:
- Design hook (post-edit and Cursor pre-edit) now resolves the project
platform via loadContext + extractPlatform and skips its web rule scan
for ios / android / adaptive projects, so React Native / Flutter code
never draws web-shaped findings (new hook-lib resolveProjectPlatform /
isNativePlatform helpers, covered by unit and subprocess tests).
- context.mjs CLI warns on an unrecognized ## Platform value (e.g. a
toolchain name like `flutter`) instead of silently defaulting to web;
extractRegister / extractPlatform now share extractSectionValue.
- Removed reference/web.md: nothing loaded it; CLAUDE.md carries the
"web has no extra rulebook" explanation.
- init.md: skip live-mode config (Step 6) for native platforms; note the
per-app PRODUCT.md pattern for repos shipping web + native.
- android.md: Material-everywhere apps that also ship on iPhone still
owe iOS OS guarantees (safe areas, Reduce Motion, edge-swipe back).
- ios.md: reworded a design-time line that framed Dynamic Type as an
accessibility check (a11y stays owned by audit.md).
- Renumbered the new skill-behavior scenario to 14 after main's 10-13;
updated CLAUDE.md scenario list; added android + unrecognized-value
CLI test cases.
- No version or changelog changes: versioning happens at release time.

* Tighten platform reference prose
Editorial pass on the platform-axis text, applied with AI assistance
(Claude Code) under maintainer direction:
- ios.md / android.md rewritten to house style: single-line paragraphs
(no hard wraps), one-sentence scope intro, deduplicated intro/slop-test,
register-compression down to two sentences. In-file attribution
paragraphs removed (NOTICE.md owns attribution); "read on top of the
register reference" cruft removed (SKILL step 5 and the context.mjs
directive already say it). Bans sections dropped: they restated the
rules above them; the two additive items (tab-bar overload,
hover-dependent affordances) folded into rules. ~40% smaller each.
- Sub-command Platform sections (adapt, audit, animate, layout), SKILL
step 5, init.md platform prose, and the context.mjs directive trimmed
the same way.
Build (prose validators, counts) and both test runners green.

* Treat an empty PRODUCT.md section as absent, not the next heading
Copilot review catch: extractSectionValue read the next `## ...` heading
as the section value when a field was left empty, which made the CLI
warn "value `## Product Purpose` is not recognized". Stop at the next
heading and return null instead. Regression tests for extractPlatform,
extractRegister, and the CLI warning path. Applied with AI assistance
(Claude Code) under maintainer direction.

* Only read a token list of both native targets as adaptive
Bugbot catch: after the exact platform tokens failed, any Platform line
containing the words ios and android was classified adaptive, so
negated or explanatory prose ("web only, not ios or android") silently
loaded both native refs and skipped the hook, with no warning. The
combo parse now accepts only list separators and the two platform
words; anything else falls through to the CLI's unrecognized-value
WARNING. Regression tests added. Applied with AI assistance (Claude
Code) under maintainer direction.
