c70bcbf6b4 Direction round: verdict-routed hand, MY PICK card, salience parity, Safer/Bolder registers (#531)
* Route the direction hand by verdict, add the pick card, enforce salience parity

The decision round previously rendered every dealt challenger as an equal
full card whatever the weighing said, so a world that fused poorly (an
underwater world dealt to a flower shop) sat at the same visual weight as
the assigned direction, and concept-level fusion had no surviving output.
Three changes, all presentation-layer; the dice, the assignment, and the
two-axis weighing are untouched:

- Verdict routing: the weighing closes with wins / competitive / declined
  per challenger, decided before any borrowing. Declined challengers render
  demoted (narrow, quiet, catalog art as a labeled thumb, "Adopt anyway"),
  reordered to the end of the deck by the page itself, still adoptable,
  never silently dropped. Donations return as named "raised by" lines on
  the assigned card: a declined challenger donates ambition and system
  discipline, never its clothes.

- The pick card: one card for the model's top-ranked grounded candidate
  when the dice assigned another, kicker MY PICK, honest familiarity risk
  on its face. One card, never a ranked list, never the lead position; the
  anti-menu rule survives with exactly this carve-out.

- Salience parity: a card's imagery weight is capped by the assigned
  card's. With a text-only assigned card (no image generation in the
  harness), full-bleed catalog heroes demote to labeled thumbs, so what
  looks important is the verdict's call, never rendering luck.

serve-question payload gains additive fields (verdict, kept, raised); old
payloads render unchanged. concept-seed's rendered instructions carry the
verdict/donation contract and the pick-card carve-out. Covered by two
Playwright tests in the new-work e2e suite (verdict routing + parity).

Design exploration and rationale were worked through with the maintainer;
research grounding is impeccable.style/research lessons 3-5.

* Add Safer/Bolder re-roll registers to the direction round

The re-roll gains the user's steering wheel on the familiar-to-bold axis.
The decision page renders two register buttons beside the plain re-roll
(payload: reroll: { registers: ["safer", "bolder"] }; booleans still work),
the answer carries the chosen register, and concept-seed gains --register.

The design constraint that shaped the implementation: a register changes
only what a round INSTRUCTS, never what it DEALT. The same key and reroll
count reproduce the same deal whatever the register, so the exclusion chain
never forks and the reproduction contract holds with no API change.

- bolder: the dealt foreign forms become the whole hand, every challenger a
  full card; the first-dealt challenger leads (assignment by deal order, so
  the dice still choose). The pick card sits out; the canon stays.
- safer: the round's dealt hand is spent unseen and stays excluded; the
  model presents its remaining conventional grounded candidates (at most
  three) plus the canon executed against named competitors. This is the one
  sanctioned lineup of the model's own ranked list, existing only by
  explicit user request. Works degraded (needs no catalog); bolder degrades
  to a plain grounded round, disclosed.

Registers are user steering, never the model's to pre-select. Covered by a
concept-seed unit test (same-deal invariant, validation) and a Playwright
test (button, answer field, REGISTER directive).

* Add the execution-contract round: comp-led or code-led, chosen after the direction

The build previously went comp-led for everyone, silently: a generated comp
led and the build chased it, which produces the boldest compositions and
also the measured worst-of-both-worlds failure (ambitious design landed
poorly, no motion, fix rounds after). Models already defect from it by
quietly skipping comp generation, which is unsanctioned code-led with no
contract to catch it. This makes the fork explicit and both paths
defection-proof:

- Comp-led: the comp is law and non-optional once chosen; visualize.md and
  the comp-is-king build phases run as today.
- Code-led: no comp of this page, skipped by contract rather than drift.
  The QUALITY BAR boards still calibrate finish, and the ambition moves
  into the written direction contract (FIRST VIEWPORT plus a named
  signature interaction and motion grammar), audited by the finish
  reviewer in behavior. Not a discount on commitment.

Placement: a second round on the same open table, right after the
direction lands. Sketches stay in the direction round (they pick the
world); comps are what code-led skips (they bind the composition). The
chosen world sets the default lead; the user flips freely; a standing
preference recorded in PRODUCT.md skips the round on later surfaces; with
no image generation there is no fork, code-led is the only path.

Mechanism: serve-question gains payload-level followup: true, which keeps
the detached server alive after a pick (exactly like re-roll), swaps the
page to the loading hand instead of goodbye, marks the answer with
followup: true so --wait keeps the table, and prints a FOLLOWUP OPEN
directive telling the agent to deliver the next round via --update.
Covered by a Playwright test driving the full two-round flow.

* fix: address PR review bot findings

- Degraded safer register no longer contradicts itself (greptile,
  Copilot, cursor): the degraded template previously said "the assigned
  index is suspended; the user picks" and then emitted ASSIGNED INDEX,
  the mandatory build instruction, and the restated footer anyway. The
  degraded safer path now suppresses the assignment machinery entirely,
  matching the non-degraded safer round, and restates the user-picks
  behavior for truncated readers instead.
- A declined card's declared sketch no longer renders a full media face
  (Copilot): the renderer ignores sketch slots on declined cards
  outright, so a stray sketch cannot buy back the salience the verdict
  took away.
- Bolder rounds no longer carry the generic weighing instruction
  (cursor): it measures against the assigned grounded direction, which
  the bolder register suspends; a leader-relative variant weighs the
  fused challengers against the first-dealt leader instead.

All three pinned by new assertions in tests/concept-seed.test.mjs and
tests/new-work-e2e.test.mjs.

* fix: followup never arms the loading hand in blocking serve mode

cursor[bot] caught a client/server disagreement: the page interpolated its
FOLLOWUP constant from the payload alone, so a followup: true payload served
in blocking mode (no --start) would leave the browser on a loading hand that
nothing resolves, since a blocking server exits on any pick and has no
update channel. The page constant is now armed only when the server is
detached, blocking rounds get the goodbye screen as before, and new-work.md
states that followup belongs only on a detached round; blocking and
structured-tool channels run the build-path round as its own second
question. Pinned in tests/serve-question.test.mjs.

* Add card-kind choice telemetry and the bolder routing disambiguation

The choice ping previously fired only when a dealt catalog challenger won,
so pick-share and canon-share had no denominator and the decision page's
new spectrum could not be measured. The ping now fires once per resolved
attended round on API-dealt rolls: --kind names which card class won
(assigned / pick / challenger / canon), --chosen carries the catalog id
only when a dealt challenger won, and --register rides along when the
round came from a steered hand. Grounded candidates' names never leave the
machine (the ping carries the kind alone), the legacy id-only shape stays
valid, and DO_NOT_TRACK / IMPECCABLE_NO_TELEMETRY still disable the ping
entirely. The seed's TELEMETRY block teaches the new invocation.

Also the naming-collision guard: "bolder" said while a direction round is
open routes to the Bolder hand register, never the bolder refinement
command; one line each in bolder.md and new-work.md.

The /api/chosen field additions land in a sister impeccable-site PR; the
API ignores unknown fields meanwhile, so this is safe to ship first.

* fix: ping test survives a DO_NOT_TRACK shell

cursor[bot]: the pingChosen unit test cleared only IMPECCABLE_NO_TELEMETRY,
so a developer shell with DO_NOT_TRACK set failed the success-path
assertions. The test now clears both, restores prior values in finally,
and passes under DO_NOT_TRACK=1.

1045c6ca98 Gracefully handle the no-image decision page (#502)
* Gracefully handle the no-image decision page

Tested the new-work path without image generation and fixed what broke:

- A text-only card's back face (First viewport, The case) was unreachable:
  the Details flip chip only rendered inside the media block. Cards with no
  imagery now render their full read on the front and skip the back face.
- A hero/board that fails to load (retired catalog URL, offline shell) sat
  as a dark void with a zoom cursor. The slot now collapses to a field
  painted from the card's own palette with an "artwork unavailable" pill;
  broken inspiration PIPs remove themselves.
- Sketchless catalog art rendered unlabeled as the card's face, reading as
  the promise of the build. It now carries the same "inspiration" label and
  hover title the PIP uses.
- The --schema example pointed at catalog URLs that 404 (missing family
  prefix); updated to the real asset paths and noted the text-only front
  behavior in the schema prose.

Extends e2e test (e) with the front-read and label assertions and adds
test (f) for the broken-image fallback.

* fix: address PR review bot findings

- cursor[bot]: the unavailable-art scrim painted over the flip chips and
  swallowed their clicks; it now passes pointer events through and the
  chips render above it.
- Copilot: a palette-less card whose art failed still read as a dark void
  and kept the stale Inspiration tooltip; the slot now falls back to the
  graphite field in CSS and the tooltip is removed with the art.

Test (f) now covers both: a broken card with back facts must still flip
via Details, and a palette-less broken card gets the labeled fallback.

Paul BakausandClaude Fable 5 6ece0e588f Add deterministic new-work interactive smoke suite
A cheap, LLM-free E2E tier for the interactive parts of new-work, mirroring
the two-layer live-e2e pattern (deterministic now, opt-in LLM tier later).

- generate-image.mjs: IMPECCABLE_IMAGE_GEN_FAKE=1 writes a deterministic
  offline image (SVG with wrapped prompt + SYNTHETIC COMP label, or a valid
  palette-stripe PNG carrying the prompt/marker in a tEXt chunk). Same CLI
  contract, no key, no network, $0.00 cost line.
- tests/new-work-e2e/user-bot.mjs: scripted user bot (module + CLI) that
  resolves the serve-question daemon from the workspace and drives the real
  page via Playwright (pick, re-roll + steer, canon, tab close).
- tests/new-work-e2e.test.mjs: node --test coverage of the serve-question
  cycles (pick + CHOSEN CARD, re-roll + --update re-deal, canon + CANON
  CHOSEN, tab-close exit-4, text-only card) plus fake image determinism.
- Registered as the opt-in new-work-e2e suite; added test:new-work-e2e.
