plateVerdict() is shared by the plates gate and generate-image's PLATE-WARN
so they cannot disagree; --plate picks a frame that clears the 1.5x width
floor (a square region wider than 682px takes the 1536 landscape frame);
'missing' on text/chrome/control regions requires the build region to be
near-empty, so a 12px rule a few pixels off reads as contradicted or drift,
not missing; the responsive gate does not re-litigate a plate that passed
the hero; record hero after close does not inflate the attempt count.

Round-1 simulated builds passed the hero at 1536 and shipped a page whose
first viewport collapsed to one column at 1440 (comp-diff 50% on the
final capture, 82% on the hero). The responsive phase now requires
desktop.png and mobile.png and diffs desktop.png against the comp at 65%
with no region missing.

Three simulated builds under the previous gate reached 78-83% overall with
the exploded plate placed and the table right, then spent 12-20 attempts
chasing 'contradicted' verdicts on a headline set in a substitute face and
on 50px chrome strips whose detail was paper grain. Text with structure
above the floor and its palette intact is drift; chrome and controls with
structure and palette held are drift. The adversarial set (swapped
columns, mirror, sepia, noise plate, tile shuffle) still fails.
isMain uses realpath on both sides so a skill mounted through a symlink
(Cursor, worktrees, staged evals) still runs its CLIs.

From a forensics pass over twelve runs and two adversarial passes over
the metrics:
- comp-diff: detail is signed and penalizes invented energy; regions with
structure under 0.3 (or painted regions under 0.45 / added detail over
0.4) are contradicted whatever the mean says; palette ramp tightened;
region crops inherit the whole-image best translation so a shifted page
is not eight contradicted regions.
- hero gate: fails on any contradicted plate/image/text region (chrome and
controls keep the one-third allowance), on a capture that is not the
comp's frame, on a palette that is not the comp's, and on an organic
clip-path drawn inside a raster region's box.
- plates gate: scored against the comp crop with overlapping text/chrome
painted out (comp-spec plateReference; generate-image uses it too), with
a structure floor and an added-detail veto; the real plate passes, noise,
mirrors, mosaics, and other regions do not.
- comp-spec refuses a regions file that leaves comp ink unnamed.
- The direction-choice ping is folded into build-phase.mjs start
--direction --kind; the roll writes .impeccable/build/pending.json and
context.mjs / detect.mjs report COMP_ROUND_OPEN until the hero gate
passes. A code-led config makes start print the contract step and stop.

concept-seed's choice ping now prints the next mandatory step from the
recorded build path (comp-led: build-phase.mjs start --direction <key>),
because every run that skipped the comp round did so right after that
ping. build-phase gains a comps phase ahead of spec (three sidecar'd comps
under .impeccable/mocks/, one approved) and records the approved comp on
close. The hero gate lists the worst region crops first with the fix class
per verdict, and refuses a third value-only attempt on the same stuck
region. Hero instruction is plates first, then the semantic layer. The
finish reviewer treats a comp-led build with no closed comps phase as a
material finding.

The first live run produced a faithful carburetor plate, then drew the
region in SVG and left the plate on disk. Before diffing, the hero gate
now walks the artifact (or a bounded source tree) for every plate's file
name or a data URI named for it.

The first live run forced past the plates gate with 'single-file HTML
delivery requires embedded CSS/SVG'. That is not a reason the comp's
authority moves for; the script now refuses a --force whose reason does
not quote the user, and new-work.md says a single-file deliverable inlines
the plate as a data URI. Texture plates are judged on palette and grain,
not size or structure, since they tile.

* Fix: stop the direction page hanging forever after a re-roll (#469)
The re-roll leg of the decision-page protocol was documented only in
serve-question.mjs's own header, so agents never ran --update and the
open tab polled a round that could never arrive. Compounding failure
modes: the page poll swallowed every error, the daemon's --timeout was
an absolute guillotine that killed the server under a still-open tab,
a choice posted to a dead server confirmed nothing, and refresh or
Reload on an unresolved round resurrected heartbeats that held the
daemon alive indefinitely.
- new-work.md documents the re-roll leg: rerun concept-seed with
--from/--reroll, deliver with --update on the same key, never --start
a second server.
- The page poll terminates and says why: eight consecutive fetch
failures means the server is gone; the delivery deadline (the
server's own --idle-grace, inlined into the page) passing means the
hand never arrived. Both stop heartbeating.
- The daemon's --timeout bounds only the wait for a page to open; once
the page heartbeats, the server lives while the page does and exits
after --idle-grace (default 600s) without a beat, including under
--timeout 0.
- Build this and Re-roll against a dead server fail loudly instead of
silently swallowing the click.
- The server tracks the window between a collected re-roll answer and
the --update that replaces the round, and serves the page in waiting
mode there, so a native refresh re-enters the same bounded wait
instead of resurrecting dead cards; the in-page Reload button only
revives a delivered hand.
- --update is exempt from the headless gate and its liveness probe
trusts a fresh heartbeat over a failed kill probe (sandbox EPERM is
not death).
Squash of the six review-round commits on this branch, rebased onto
main after the decision-page revamp.

* Fix review findings: persist the replacement deadline, refuse unloadable hands
A browser-native refresh of the waiting page re-entered the bounded wait
with a fresh delivery deadline and an immediate heartbeat, so refreshing
before each deadline expired could hold the daemon alive and keep --wait
on WAITING indefinitely. The server now records when the re-roll or
followup answer was collected, each served waiting page inherits only
what remains of that one allowance, and a page served after the deadline
renders stalled immediately and never starts its heartbeat.
And a next hand the round could not load used to reload-loop the tab:
GET /'s catch kept the file on disk, so /next-status stayed ready:true
forever. --update now refuses a payload without a non-empty options
array at the sender, and GET / discards an unloadable next file so the
bounded wait resumes.

* Fix review finding: a stalled page recovers a late hand without a click
The stall silenced heartbeats so the idle grace could reclaim the
daemon, but that silence read as a closed tab: after a late --update,
--wait saw the stale beat and reported PAGE CLOSED while the user sat
on the Reload screen, so the agent abandoned the browser path the
recovery UI exists for. The stall screen now keeps a beat-free
/next-status watch that reloads into a delivered hand on its own
(GET never beats, so an abandoned flow is still reclaimed), and --wait
no longer concludes closure from a stale beat while an undelivered
next hand sits on disk.

* Fix review finding: a delivered hand must not mask a closed page
The mid-delivery suppression keyed on the next file existing, but a
closed tab never claims that file, so an unconsumed delivery held
--wait on WAITING indefinitely instead of reporting the closed flow.
The suppression is now age-bound: a stalled page's watch reclaims a
delivered hand within seconds, so a file still unclaimed after a 10s
grace means no page is coming back and the stale beat reads as the
closed page it is.

* Fix review finding: stamp the delivery clock at --update, not the copy
--wait's mid-delivery grace reads the next file's mtime, but
copyFileSync's timestamp behavior is the platform's business: a copy
that preserves the source payload's older mtime would start the grace
already spent and report PAGE CLOSED under a live stalled tab. --update
now touches the delivered file itself, so delivery time is delivery
time everywhere.

* Fix review findings: disable canon during the wait, validate --timeout
The waiting and stall screens disabled only the re-roll buttons; the
footer canon action stayed clickable, and a canon pick posted after
--wait had consumed the re-roll could never be collected: it overwrote
the answer, marked the table closed, and exited the daemon under the
agent. Both disable sites now take the canon exit down with the re-roll
buttons; a delivered hand reloads the page and serves it live again.
And --timeout reached the lifetime timer unvalidated: NaN or a negative
value disarmed the no-page exit and the daemon leaked. It now takes the
default unless the value is a finite non-negative number, keeping 0 as
the explicit wait-forever.

* Fix review finding: a second click must not renew the delivery deadline
dealAgain left the re-roll and canon controls live through the answer
POST and the 700ms fly-out, so a second click posted another re-roll
and the server restamped awaitingNextSince, renewing the deadline this
PR made non-renewable on refresh and on the stall screen. The controls
now go quiet at the click itself, in dealAgain and in answer(), and the
server stamps the allowance only on the transition into the wait, so a
duplicate answer racing the disable keeps the first stamp.
Regression coverage on both sides: the unit deadline test posts a
duplicate re-roll mid-allowance and asserts the budget shrank instead
of resetting, and the e2e stall test asserts both controls are disabled
immediately after the click, before the fly-out.

* Fix review finding: a late delivery must survive its claim window
--update could land a replacement hand after the stalled page went
silent but moments before the daemon's idle deadline: the daemon exited
before the page's 1.5s watch could claim the hand, orphaning a delivery
--update had confirmed, and the next --wait reported a server failure.
The idle exit now defers while an unclaimed next hand is younger than
the claim grace --wait already reads (extracted as one shared
constant), so the page's watch deals it and heartbeats resume; a file
unclaimed past the grace still ends the daemon, bounded as before.
Regression test: deliver at idle-deadline-minus-a-beat, assert the
daemon survives past the deadline and serves the late hand.
AI-assisted (Cursor agent) under maintainer instruction.
Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
* Fix review finding: the claim itself must hold the daemon
The idle-exit hold read only the next file's freshness, but GET /
deletes that file when it serves the claimed round, before the
reloading page can post its first heartbeat: a lifetime tick in that
gap saw no pending hand and a stale beat, and exited under the hand
just claimed. GET / now stamps the claim when it consumes a pending
hand, and the idle exit honors the same bounded grace from that stamp,
so the reloading page gets its seconds to beat while an abandoned claim
still ends the daemon at the grace.
The claim-window regression test now also fetches after the claim, past
another lifetime tick, and asserts the daemon survived the gap;
verified it fails on the previous commit.

Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
* Fix review finding: --wait must ride out the claim gap too
The claim deletes the next file --wait's mid-delivery grace watches,
and the reloading page has not beat yet, so --wait in that gap read the
stale beat as PAGE CLOSED while the daemon was alive serving the dealt
round, and the agent abandoned a browser session that had just
recovered. GET / now persists the claim stamp into the per-key state
file, and --wait's suppression honors it under the same bounded grace:
a fresh claim stays WAITING, a claim nobody followed with a beat still
reads as the closed page it is.
Regression test drives --wait through the gap (claim with a stale beat:
WAITING, not exit 4) and past it (backdated claim stamp: exit 4);
verified it fails on the previous commit.

semantics so render noise never fails a faithful build. The hunt hint

"produce the named assets" with no rules attached.
- visualize.md: name the provenance contract, require the exact tool
payload, and scope it to the run, fix rounds and rebuilds included.
- new-work.md: bind fix/rebuild rasters to the contract, add an
embed-prompt --scan step before the verdict round, and extend the
FINISH line to carry the condition through long builds.

* Comp-fidelity review discipline + conciseness pass on core references
Process fixes derived from a real Codex session (Hanasaku landing page)
where a build drifted wholesale from the approved comp and still shipped
under a reviewer pass:
- finish reviewer: new Evidence check (check 0) with a fourth
disposition, recapture, for malformed screenshots; a review on invalid
evidence binds nothing and owes a full re-review, not a verdict pass
- finish reviewer: verdict passes exit scoring mode when recaptures fail
check 0 or when the packet carries user-supplied screenshots that
contradict a prior verdict (those force a fresh full review); a ship
earned in a verdict pass covers the scored fixes, not the whole surface
- new-work: capture-validity rules (settle entrance motion, capture from
document top, comp comparison at comp dimensions, open every file once
before sending); user's actual viewport joins the inspected sizes
- new-work: hero checkpoint now writes .impeccable/review/hero-repro.png
and the reviewer verifies it exists under Persistence
- new-work: comp authority is explicit (only the user can downgrade it);
handoff reports the verdict at its actual scope; user evidence reopens
a full review; documenter re-runs when fixes land after documentation
- craft-floor: Refuse entry for geometric masks approximating organic
photographic contours (the circular-cutout failure)
- editorial conciseness pass over new-work.md, visualize.md, and both
agent files: tighter sentences, no dropped rules, all rule markers and
mechanical tokens preserved

* fix: absent required captures fail the evidence check
Greptile finding: a packet with no desktop.png/mobile.png (or missing

check 0 exactly like a malformed one and forces recapture; the
missing-input allowance in the preamble excludes captures.
Assisted-by: Claude Code
* fix: user-viewport capture is a required, named input to the review
Greptile finding: the evidence gate hard-coded web requirements to
desktop.png and mobile.png, so a reported user viewport could join the
inspected set and still ship uncaptured. The parent now saves it as
user-<width>.png and names every inspected viewport required in the
packet; check 0's required set includes every brief-named capture.

Two review findings on #583.
"context.mjs reports it" undersold what counts: that directive only fires on an
OPENAI_API_KEY, so a harness with a native image tool and no key generates
images while the boot output says nothing. Read literally, the step would skip
the question exactly where the toggle belongs. It now names both sources and
says a silent boot is not evidence.
The unanswered branch said to state which path the session takes without saying
which one it is. Left implicit, an agent picks its own, which is the failure
this step exists to stop. It now names comp-first, the default new-work applies
when nothing is recorded.
