Eighteen agents: three design directions judged on whether a COO on a phone
actually learns what an environment is, on craft, and on landing without a
rewrite; one spec; a foundation of measured tokens; six build lanes; three
browser verifiers; a final gate pass.
The materials are Prime Intellect's, measured from their site: near-black
grounds, one green, sharp radii, mono small-caps labels, Geist and Geist Mono
self-hosted because production CSP is font-src 'self'. Two of their own greys
fail contrast on their own ground (#737373 is 4.02:1, #6E6E6E is 3.73:1 on
#0F0F0F), so --muted is lifted and the CSS comment carries the number — or
someone will 'correct' it back. Every text-on-ground pair in both themes is
tabulated in src/index.css with its measured ratio.
The two rules that resolved every conflict: data is mono, sentences are sans;
the language wins on materials, the lesson wins on legibility. Light mode is a
finished paper theme, not an inversion.
What did not change: the derived-tabs contract, the honesty markers, the
isolation lint, every gate. 419 contract checks, entry chunk at 74% of budget,
zero horizontal overflow on any route at 390/1024/1440 in either theme.
Also flips Alert Triage to status 'live' — the pipeline built it but never
promoted it, so it was badged SPEC on its own playable page and the home page
counted one environment.

Two silent bugs in the prerender pass, and the second was caused by the fix for
the first.
`waitForSelector('#root > *')` defaults to waiting for VISIBILITY, and the app's
first child is the skip link, which is hidden until focused. So it burned the
full 30s timeout on every one of 17 routes — twelve minutes of a script that
printed nothing, because its output was buffered behind a pipe — while the page
had rendered the whole time. Switching to `state: 'attached'` then fired too
early instead: useSeo writes the head from an effect, so the title was still
index.html's for a tick, and every route would have baked the homepage's head.
That is the exact bug this script exists to prevent. It now waits for `main`,
then for readyState, then settles.
The board's yellow was --warning, 32 95% 31% — darkened until white text cleared
4.5:1, and at that lightness it renders BROWN. On a board where people arrive
knowing this square should be yellow, a brown square reads as a bug in the
scorer, which on a page arguing "the grader is correct" is the worst thing it
could look like. The fill is now a real yellow and the glyph went dark: more
expected AND higher contrast, 10.02:1 against 5.03:1.
Also measured something the Honesty page had honestly declined to claim. It said
our word list is easier than the original's because our dictionary rule keeps
plurals the original's editor removed by hand. Running the same greedy solver
over both pools, 250 sampled words each: original 2,315 needs 3.552 guesses
(opener RAISE, worst 5), ours 4,603 needs 3.700 (opener TARES, worst 6). The
doubled pool outweighs the plurals. Ours is harder, and the page now says so
with the table.
177 gate checks pass. Entry chunk 106.9 kB gzipped against 160 kB.
