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.

Five parallel lanes plus an integration pass. The header, gallery, router and
sitemap are all generated from the demo registry, so adding src/demos/<slug>/
puts a demo everywhere with zero edits to shared files — which is the whole
reason demo nine cannot break demo one.
check-demos enforces the twelve contract rules: 142 checks over one live demo.
Two worth naming. The shell may not mention a specific slug, because an
'if (slug === wordle)' in src/components/demo/ is a contract bug wearing a
patch. And a spec-status demo must ship a real specification — task, actions,
grader, counterweight, eval command — since a coming-soon card reads worse than
an honest empty gallery.
Bundle budget holds: entry 108.79 kB gzipped against a 160 kB ceiling, the demo
chunk 21.15 kB against 90 kB. recharts is 108 kB gzipped and lives behind a lazy
import so it never touches the entry.

The site does no live inference. Rollouts are captured once against spark-1 and
replayed at their recorded wall-clock — a public demo with no auth cannot hold
an API key, and a recorded run can be scrubbed, permalinked, blind-compared and
verified in ways a live one cannot. What stops it being a video is that the
browser re-derives every number from the recorded moves.
verify_fixtures.py is the Python half of that: it replays every committed
fixture through the engine and reproduces its own rewards. All 16 land at
delta 0.0. A fixture that cannot be regenerated is a claim with no receipt.
First real measurement, thinking off, 8 seeds: solved 0/8. The model repeats
guesses it has already played, invents words (trape, slith, postt, boomy),
and contradicts its own feedback — consistency 0.09 to 0.17. That is the
published failure taxonomy showing up in our own data on the first run, and it
is why `consistency` is a reward component rather than a footnote.
A capture failure is recorded as a turn with a null reply, never dropped. A
capture that silently discarded failed turns would be reporting a better model
than the one that ran.
CI gates both halves and four things that fail silently in production: the word
lists must rebuild byte-identically, the prerendered routes must carry their own
baked og tags (crawlers do not run JS, so without them every shared link
previews as the homepage), no blob: URL may reach the bundle (the site's CSP has
no worker-src, so it falls back to default-src 'self' and a blob worker is
blocked with no error), and the conformance digest must match across languages.
