The new self-detection ran before mode dispatch, so it also caught --wait,
--stop, and --schema. CI failed on the start/wait cycle test: --wait
returned 2 (no browser) where the documented poll loop expects 3
(WAITING). Under CI=1 the suite went 4 pass / 2 fail; it is 6 / 0 now.
Two of those modes were user-facing bugs, not just test breakage. --stop
exited 2 without killing the daemon it was asked to kill, leaking a
server process (verified: one daemon running, CI=1 --stop, still one).
--schema only prints a payload example, and new-work.md tells the agent
to read it before building a payload.
Detection can only tell whether this process can auto-open a browser, not
whether the user has one: SSH with a forwarded port and a harness with an
in-app browser both have a browser and no DISPLAY. The file already
treats serve-without-opening as first class, since --start spawns its own
daemon with --no-open. So the check now gates acquiring a session, not
managing or ending one. The blocking serve path still exits 2 on a
headless box, with a test pinning that.

The env-var bypass (IMPECCABLE_QUESTION_DISABLED) relied on the harness
remembering to set it. The script now also self-detects CI, SSH-without-
display, and displayless Linux and exits 2 with the structured-question
advice; --no-open skips detection (caller opens the URL itself, as the
tests do) and IMPECCABLE_QUESTION_FORCE=1 overrides it. new-work.md now
frames the decision-page rule by capability: open a browser if you can,
structured question tool if you cannot, exit 2 means fallback not error.

IMPECCABLE_CARD_BASE overrides the quality-bar URL prefix so eval
workers serve cards from the local checkout while impeccable.style
stays undeployed. IMPECCABLE_QUESTION_DISABLED makes serve-question
exit immediately with the structured-question fallback line, so
headless workers never block on a browser page nobody will answer.

Paul's question exposed the blind spot: a closed tab left the agent
waiting out the full timeout. The page now sends a heartbeat every five
seconds while open; the server stamps lastBeat into the state file, and
--wait reports PAGE CLOSED with exit 4 when the beats stop for fifteen
seconds without an answer. The prose defines the fallback ladder:
re-present once through the structured question tool, then proceed
unattended with the assigned direction, stating assumptions.

The loading hand now has the true proportions: 16:9 shimmer media, a
tier line, a title line, three detail lines, and a button-shaped block
pinned to the card bottom, with each skeleton inheriting the measured
height of the card it replaces.

Live-fire bug from the demo: collecting a re-roll answer deleted the
state file, so --update could not find the still-running server and the
next hand had nowhere to land. Cleanup is now terminal-only: a re-roll
consumes just the answer file and leaves the server state for --update;
any other choice cleans up fully as before.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Two upgrades from the live session. Re-roll no longer ends the page: in
detached mode the server stays alive, the client gathers the cards back
into the center stack, deals skeleton cards with the site's shimmer,
and polls /next-status; the new --update mode delivers the next hand
and the page reloads into the fresh deal. Choices other than re-roll
still resolve and exit as before.
And the headline bug had a root cause: the fonts link never loaded the
weights in use, so the browser synthesized a fake 300 that read
off-brand and muddy. The link now loads Alumni 100 and 400 exactly, and
the h1 wears the homepage hero display role: weight 100 at
clamp(2.6rem, 5vw, 4.2rem), champagne.

#lightbox { display: flex } outspecified the UA's [hidden] rule, so an
invisible full-viewport layer sat over the page and blocked all hover
and click. #lightbox[hidden] { display: none } restores reality.

Paul's motion and exploration pass. The reveal is now a real deal: the
cards begin piled at the grid center, blurred and slightly rotated, and
travel to their seats with a 110ms stagger on the brand ease (JS
measures each card's seat, so the pile works at any grid shape;
reduced motion skips it). Hovering a card bleeds its hero into the page
ground behind a lacquer scrim. An expand chip beside Board opens
whichever face is showing in a zoom-out lightbox with Escape to close.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
No cropping and no pillarboxing: the board spans the card width at its
native 16:9 exactly like the hero on the front, with the deep-lacquer
ground below and the label-and-CTA bar pinned to the card's bottom edge.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The design-system board is an information sheet; the back face now
contains it fully on a deep-lacquer ground rather than cover-cropping
its top and bottom.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Paul's read: flipping only the image inside a static frame looked
unconvincing. The card is now the object: front face carries hero,
lineage, title, and CTA; the back face is the design-system board at
full card height with a slim bar keeping the label and Build-this
reachable. The outer card keeps fan, deal, and hover; each face carries
its own lacquer chrome and the rolled card's gold ring rides both
faces. 700ms preserve-3d turn, instant under reduced motion.

Third polish pass with Paul live. The details collapsible is gone: the
card media is now a 3D flip, hero on the front and the design-system
board on the back, toggled by a small mono Board/Hero chip with a 600ms
preserve-3d turn that reduced-motion collapses to an instant swap. The
headline and question sit directly above the dealt hand inside the
centered stage while the logo holds the top-left corner. Re-roll
stretches to the steer input's height and says just Re-roll beside the
five-pip die.

Paul's second polish pass. The h1 uses DESIGN.md's headline role
(Alumni 300 at clamp(2rem, 4vw, 3.4rem), tracking 0) instead of a bold
weight the brand no longer uses; card headings use the title role
(Albert 500, 1.125rem) which also holds at small sizes; the rolled
card's border and ring use actual kinpaku gold, not the deep variant;
and the dealt hand centers vertically in the viewport with header and
footer framing it.

Paul's review against DESIGN.md and the design-system page: the real
24px logo mark with the uppercase tracked Alumni 400 wordmark (was a
bootleg lowercase 600); the five-pip stroke die from the homepage
worlds-roll as the headline accent and re-roll icon (the tilted numeral
cube was off-brand); the re-roll button is the worlds-reroll pattern
verbatim (mono 0.72rem uppercase tracked, rule border); Build-this uses
the DESIGN.md button-primary spec (title typography, 38px padding,
kinpaku-pale hover); THE ROLL kicker is the worlds-played-chip pattern.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The decision page now mirrors impeccable.style's Neo kinpaku system:
the split logo mark and Alumni Sans wordmark in kinpaku gold, lacquer
ground with raised-panel cards, the gold die beside the headline
(count of dealt options, rotated like the research page dice), THE ROLL
badge as a mini die, worlds-roll card treatment (rule borders, fan
rotation, deal-in stagger honoring reduced motion, hover lift), mono
tracked lineage lines, champagne display type, gold CTA with dark ink,
and a die-glyph re-roll button. Tokens mirrored from kinpaku-tokens.css.

Paul's call: start mode never auto-opens; the agent is alive and opens
the printed URL itself, in-app browser first, then the system opener,
then showing the URL (--open forces the system browser from the script).
The prose now leads with the start/open/wait flow and keeps the blocking
auto-open path for harnesses that can background a shell.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Paul's two concerns with the blocking design. --schema prints the exact
payload example so the model never guesses the shape (new-work.md points
at it). And harnesses that cannot leave a shell blocked (or cannot open
a browser while blocked) get a two-phase path: --start daemonizes the
server and returns the URL plus a key immediately, --wait polls for the
answer with exit 3 meaning ask again, exit 2 meaning the server died,
and --stop for cleanup. The browser open happens from the detached
server process, so it works even when the agent thread is short-lived.
State lives under .impeccable/questions/.

Paul's design, three pieces:
serve-question.mjs: the world decision presented as a themed page instead
of a text prompt. The script serves an impeccable-styled option board
(assigned direction leading with THE ROLL badge, dealt challengers as
alternates carrying their QUALITY BAR cards, re-roll and steer built in),
prints the URL, opens the browser, and blocks until the user chooses;
the answer lands on stdout as ANSWER JSON, so the shell call itself is
the wait and no harness machinery is needed. Local images are served by
the ephemeral server; nothing leaves the machine.
generate-image.mjs + context.mjs IMAGE_GEN_AVAILABLE: when an OpenAI key
is in the environment, context reports that image generation works even
without a harness-native tool (gpt-image-2, billed to the user's key,
stated before first use; Google skipped by decision). Harness-native
tools always win when present.
new-work.md: visualize-before-build is now the default whenever any
image generation exists, not a codex.md special case; the attended
presentation prefers the visual decision page and falls back to the
structured question tool. Evals keep the unattended path untouched.
