Full-pack matrix on Claude, GLM (Together), and the Kimi stand-in: zero mechanical FAILs everywhere after at most one repair round; the floor-only pack collapses on open models (96 FAILs on GLM), so the full skill is load-bearing, not bloat. No-vision probe: every model declined cleanly. Zero invented metrics. Rotation held per arm. judge.py: Together vision fallback chain + User-Agent fix; vision judge itself pending API credit or an OpenRouter key. gen-direct: 64K output ceiling (Claude needed 37K on one brief).
- five-themes cards open a complete full-page mockup per theme - before/after cards open the actual generated pages (before from hallmark-lab, after from the eval runs), copied into _proposals/pages - eval judge defaults to operator mode: no Anthropic key spend, the Claude Code operator scores from the screenshots; --provider together or anthropic for an automated pass
…ger, Arcade Each is a complete self-contained landing page for a fictional brand in the candidate theme's tokens, grounded in the reference sites (Aesop, Vitra, Teenage Engineering, The Row, Notion, Mercury, Panic). All seven pass sloplint clean (0 FAIL, 0 WARN). Linked from the theme cards via the Open-full-page overlay.
- scripts/lint-hook.mjs: reads the PostToolUse payload, lints .html/.css Hallmark artifacts on write, feeds FAILs back via additionalContext, never blocks (exit 0 always), no-ops on non-artifacts - scripts/install-hook.mjs: idempotent settings merge (--global/--print/ --remove), preserves other hooks and permissions - SKILL.md Step 7 note + README section; Claude-Code-only, degrades to the Step 7 sweep everywhere else
Lean specs (126-145 lines each, from the cobalt.md template) for specimen, midnight, brutal, garden, atelier, newsprint, terminal, manifesto, almanac, sport, studio, riso, bloom, coral, aurora, editorial. Each grounded in its real [data-theme] tokens block and theme-axes row: signature moves, anti-patterns, voice fixtures, macrostructure affinity, and honest neighbour-differentiation. Loaded eagerly by Step 3 only when that theme is picked, so zero cost to any build that picks a different theme. Also cleaned em/en dashes from the 4 pre-existing specs.
…> 24) - tokens.css: 4 [data-theme] blocks (full token set; Grid neutrals tinted to pass gate 22; Ledger/Arcade color-scheme dark; Arcade second accent) - main.js: THEMES / ARCHETYPES / THEME_GENRES / COPY entries for all 4 - theme-axes.md: 4 rotation rows; SKILL.md Step 2.6 cluster list; genre files (Grid->editorial, Ledger->modern-minimal, Field+Arcade->playful) - count strings bumped 20 -> 24 across skill, site, README; stale 57->58 gate counts fixed in marketing copy - Arcade gate-47 carve-out in slop-test + anti-patterns (pixel/scanline allowed; fake OS chrome still banned) - site loads the 4 new themes' fonts; all 24 render in the live picker

endpoint (FLUX.1.1-pro default, gemini-3-pro-image optional), cache by
prompt hash, provenance sidecar. No key -> graceful exit 3, falls back

SKILL Step 4 as opt-in, never auto-fires.
- site/examples/{grid,field,ledger,arcade}-01: canonical builds from the
proposal mockups, all sloplint 0-FAIL, referenced by each theme spec.
Lean specs (131-150 lines) grounded in each new [data-theme] block and its mockup: signature moves, anti-patterns, voice fixtures, and honest neighbour-differentiation (Ledger vs Cobalt/Midnight; Arcade vs Terminal/Hum). Arcade spec states the gate-47 carve-out inline (scanlines, starfield, pixel type, cursor are the sanctioned retro signal; fake OS chrome stays banned) and keeps body copy in the readable sans. Catalog token names throughout; page-decorative tokens noted as page-added.
Runs 'claude -p "/hallmark <brief>"' with the skill copied into a scratch project, parses the stream-json transcript for conformance (skill loaded via stamp, files written, reference-read count + load-order, cost), writes into runs/<brief>/<arm>-cli/. Skills do not auto-trigger headless (measured), so it invokes by name: a conformance harness, not an auto-trigger test. Claude arm uses the subscription (no key); GLM/Kimi arms Anthropic-shaped and disabled until their auth tokens exist. Plumbing validated against the real binary here (spawn, stream-json parse both event shapes, run.json); a real run needs a logged-in terminal.
…nce) + smoothness (grafts, section-zoom, decisions) + thumbnails + scoped injection
- scripts: core.mjs picker gains PNG-thumbnail grid (falls back to the
scaled iframe), a Graft button + G key; serve.mjs adds /thumb + /inject
routes and a graft action on /api/pick; new thumbs.mjs (dual-engine,
zero-install); buildInjectJs for dev-only Vite/Astro/SvelteKit preview
injection. All v1 behavior preserved (smoke-tested end to end + browser).
- verbs/variants.md v2 (280->423): progressive-first flow, parallel default
+ analysis-once + shared head, sketch-depth drafts by default (--full),
optional --fast-drafts, compositional grafts, section-zoom after the pick,
decisions.md log, thumbnail step, Vite/Astro/SvelteKit injection recipes.
- eval/variants-bench.{md,mjs}: speed-bench doc + a mechanical timing harness.
- site/_proposals/variants-demo.html: client-only progressive-picker demo
(gradient text removed to stay on-brand); variants-vs.md head-to-head.
Verified in the browser: progressive fill (building -> thumbnail), labeled
counter, guarded arrows, Pick/Riff/Graft, live single-view iframe.
…, roadmap refresh Skill and package to 1.3.0; preview-example version strings to v1.3.0; README variants section rewritten for v2 (progressive reveal, parallel + sketch-default, thumbnails, compositional grafts, section-zoom, scoped injection); ROADMAP marks the five v1.3 items shipped.
- main.js: 4 stray '57 gates' marketing strings -> 58 - all-themes.html: visible H1 '20 themes' -> '24 themes' - gen-cli.mjs header: correct arm ids (claude/glm/kimi) + token env names (ZAI_AUTH_TOKEN / MOONSHOT_AUTH_TOKEN) - ledger spec: radius claim '8px tight' -> '12px card / 8px controls' - arcade spec: note the starfield/scanline vars are page-local decorative tokens (define in :root per arcade-01), not catalog tokens - tier-e stamp example uses the real imagegen default; hyphens
The example was ported from the proposal mockup with oklch(x% 0 0) neutrals; the shipped Grid theme tokens carry a faint cool cast (0.003-0.010 at hue 255). Bring the example's palette in line: 7 FAILs -> sloplint clean.
The picker's single view, the on-page chip, the injection overlay, and the static compare page all wrapped or barred the page they were showing. Replace all four chromes with one shared HmDock factory in core.mjs: a compact glass bar pinned to the bottom-right corner (grid glyph, chevrons, direct number jump with a dimmed pulse for still-generating directions, small-caps title, Pick, and an expandable tray with tuple meta, Riff, Graft, and key hints). The page itself now fills the viewport everywhere. - chip/inject mount the dock in a shadow root so page CSS cannot touch it, and read /api/state to learn titles, meta, and the live direction count, so a riffed direction 4 is reachable even with a stale data-of (serve.mjs gains CORS on /api/state for the routes-mode cross-origin read) - chip gains Graft parity and an optional data-title attribute - single view cycles ready directions only; compare page swaps the fake Pick for an honest 'pick N' chip that copies the chat reply to the clipboard - variants.md updated to the dock (chip contract, picker walkthrough, riff note, static-compare shape, poll-ladder wording); site demo mirrors it Verified in the browser on a scratch run: grid, full-bleed single view, tray, ready-only arrow cycling, pick queued and drained through await.mjs, chip on a direct page, live count refresh, static compare, mobile.
Hallmark stops targeting open-weight models and goes deep on the three terminals where design work happens: Claude Code, Codex CLI, and OpenCode. Same core everywhere (SKILL.md standard), plus a per-harness adapter each harness loads before Step 0. - references/harnesses/codex.md: $hallmark invocation, workspace-write sandbox + network-off reality (picker server asks first, --static fallback), no hooks/subagents (sequential variants + progressive reveal), AGENTS.md as a Step 0 signal, batch-per-direction patches - references/harnesses/opencode.md: /hallmark + skill-tool invocation, allow/ask/deny permission model, parallel variants via its subagents, formatter/LSP interplay, compatibility-path discovery - references/models.md deleted; its harness-agnostic rules live on in both adapters. SKILL.md dispatch now routes by harness, not by model family - agents/openai.yaml: Codex interface + implicit-invocation policy - scripts/install.mjs: detects installed harnesses and installs a lean 1.5MB payload (SKILL.md, references, scripts, agents, LICENSE - never site/ or eval/) to ~/.claude/skills, ~/.agents/skills (+ refreshes the stale legacy ~/.codex/skills copy), and leaves OpenCode to its compatibility discovery; --dry-run / --remove / idempotent - README: 'Open models' section replaced by 'One skill, three harnesses' with the install matrix; ROADMAP and eval/README reframed (Tier B kept as archive only); version 1.4.0 Ran the installer live: all three locations now serve 1.4.0 with the adapters in place (the Codex location previously held a 27MB v1.0.0 copy).

Unify every version string: skill frontmatter and preview block, package.json, the four preview-examples samples, the eval direction note, the ROADMAP opener, and the site badges/captions (which were still stamped v1.1/v1.3). The PR is retitled to match and sits as a draft on the renamed v1.2 branch.
…ng dead links - Seven theme specs (arcade, cobalt, field, garden, grid, ledger, riso) drop 'canonical build to mirror' for 'reference build: match its register (tokens, voice, motion feel), never its composition; reusing its section order, hero geometry, or grid is a gate-32-grade repeat' - Hum's .btn block becomes a recipe: press mechanics mandatory, skin free; the verbatim-copy mandate is gone. Spring easing scoped to micro press/pop only, and hero-discipline's bounce ban now says exactly that - imagery-kit.md reframed: composition playbook today, hosted assets later; hard rule that no URL outside the (currently empty) manifest is ever emitted; the wash example now shows the constructed gradient equivalent - hero-enrichment's Kit-led route renamed Composed-abstract (built in-page)
Every Hallmark hero shared one geometry (70-90% viewport, bottom-heavy 1.3x padding). hero-discipline.md now opens with a posture table - Settled (the old geometry, still the default), Banner, Poster, Ledge, Corridor, Stage - each with its own min-height envelope, padding rule, alignment allowance, H1-H9 pairings, and genre affinity. Mobile collapses to content height. - hero-discipline.md loads on EVERY page hero now, not only enriched ones (SKILL.md Step 3 Always list), and the posture is picked at Step 2 with nav/footer, rotated (no non-Settled repeat back-to-back, Settled never three in a row), logged (hero: Stage/H2), stamped, and in the Picks block - gate 6: the 100vh/100dvh ban is scoped outside a stamped Poster; the centred-element ceiling binds unchanged on all postures - gate 44a: the padding check reads the stamped posture (Ledge inverts to top-heavy with base-anchored content, an anchored Poster waives it); 44b fold-fit at 1280x800 stays posture-independent - typography.md: define --text-display-s (referenced by the headline brackets but never declared): clamp(2.2rem, 4vw + 0.75rem, 4.2rem) No script changes; absent stamp field = Settled, so every existing build stays legal (canonical example dirs verified 0-FAIL).
…gerprints complete - Coral: General Sans becomes the display/body family (Geist falls back); axis moves to grotesk-sans, breaking the Bloom/Coral twin - Aurora: the teal-green (172) is promoted to the one UI signal at oklch(68% .145 172) (7.7:1 on paper) and cyan demotes to the first bloom; display becomes Sora 600. Breaks the Midnight/Aurora twin and cuts the Geist display collision from four themes to two - Almanac 94% -> 84% cool slate stock and Riso 91% -> 84% pink stock: the previously empty mid paper band gets its first two occupants. Muted greys darkened to hold 4.5:1+, Riso's spot blue deepened to oklch(46% .14 220) so focus rings stay >= 3:1 on the deeper stock (the old cyan was already under 3:1), both accent-ink slots fixed to = paper (were unreadable) - structure.md fingerprint table now covers all 24 themes; Aurora's row no longer duplicates Bloom's, the Brutal/Manifesto identical-row twin and the Sport/Coral/Bloom/Studio/Terminal near-twins are re-grounded, and a mechanical pairwise check passes: no two rows share more than three of the six structural axes (noted in the table preamble) - theme-axes rows + closing note (Aurora 172 vs Ledger 185 arbitration), four spec files rewritten to the new values, main.js theme copy synced (plus the stale riso proofA and coral three-percent lines), site font links gain Sora + a Fontshare link (also fixes Sentient never loading), theme dots updated. Verified in the browser: riso/almanac render on the new stocks, Sora/Sentient/General Sans all load
macrostructures.md's fixed hero-logos-features-testimonials-pricing-FAQ-CTA run becomes a deck of eight core cards with roles. Every deal deviates twice: drop at least one named card (hero and footer never drop), and either promote a wildcard (spec-sheet, changelog, manifesto-inset, worked-example, comparison-anatomy, index) or reorder one adjacent pair meaningfully; both moves are stated in the Picks block as a deck: cell. The completeness floor moves from 'skip at most two' (which contradicted mandatory drops) to 'at least five core cards'. Voice rules survive intact. The four theme specs that hard-coded section chains (cobalt, coral, field, ledger) now name deck ingredients instead.
- Nav/footer no-repeat deepens from consecutive-runs-only to the last three runs, matching macro depth (N5/N1b ping-pong was legal before) - The log schema grows axes and fingerprint fields (plus hero from the posture change) in all three write sites (SKILL.md, variants winner entry, custom § F), so structure.md's anti-repetition rule and gate 32 now compare against the log instead of memory; older entries without the fields are treated as unconstrained - The Picks block example gains the deck cell from the section-deck change - component-cookbook routing tables become the single nav/footer authority: playful's default returns to N7 (its genre file had banned N5 while the cookbook listed N5 acceptable - resolved in the genre file's favour), modern-minimal's default settles on N1b with N5 explicitly acceptable, and every genre file's default line points at the authoritative table. A cross-check script confirms zero contradictions - SKILL.md's nav range reads N1/N1b through N13 (no n1a file exists; N1a stays documented as the older alias)
- Pre-emit critique: the axis letters now match the stamp (P/H/E/S/R/V), every axis carries a what-a-3-looks-like-vs-a-5 anchor, the V axis scores against the log's fingerprint entries instead of memory, and at least one axis must score <= 4 with its reason and fix named in a new weakest: clause - a straight-5s stamp is called what it is, unexamined - The mirror test lands in Step 2 (would these picks have come out for a neighbouring brief? then change one and name it) and as the reflex check's third altitude in the custom ritual (a slate that fits the category's other products unchanged is category gravity) - Step 7 and the gate-classes section both carry the verification budget: one batched desktop+mobile inspection round, one fix batch, at most one confirm round, stop polishing. Step 7 finally names --render
The 259-line cookbook forced a full read for any pick because the knob table and the mobile-collapse table sat inside the index file. Both tables now ride inside the 50 archetype files themselves (## Knobs with the gate-32 vary-one rule, ## Mobile collapse with the two breakpoints), migrated by an asserted script; the previously missing rows are authored: knobs for S1-S5 and N10, collapse for S1-S5, N1b, and N10-N13 (exactly the navs the skill steers toward, whose collapse was undefined). The cookbook drops to 173 lines: index, routing tables (the nav/footer authority), picking rules, and the two breakpoint definitions with pointers. The truncated H7/H9 index one-liners are completed, and SKILL.md's token-waste warning now points at per-category archetype pre-loading rather than the (now cheap) index read.
color.md's 3%-vs-5% contradiction resolves to 5% everywhere. The gate moves from judged-only to M/R: - static half (sloplint.mjs check23, WARN-grade): flags accent tokens painting viewport-scale rules (body/section/hero-class selectors, or rules sized >= 40dvh / 320px / inset 0) and display-size accent text. Posture-aware via the stamp comment (Drenched skips; Committed and dark papers are structurally exempt because fields and papers are never accent tokens); alpha-thinned washes and atmospheric radial blooms pass - render half (sloplint-render.mjs, 1280x800 only, undeclared-posture pages): resolves the accent tokens to sRGB and sums painted area on a 16px union grid (no double-counting of nested rects); > 8% FAIL, > 5% WARN, atmospheric thresholds 30/20. Along the way the render tier gains a real colour parser: modern Chrome serializes computed values and canvas fillStyle in their authored space, so oklch is now converted with the same math sloplint uses (the old rgb-only regex would have silently skipped every oklch page) Verified in the browser: a full-bleed accent fixture measures 94.2% painted (FAIL) and the live coral landing measures 0% (pass); the static half flags the fixture's three sites and stays quiet on all canonical examples. Also: garden-01's pre-existing zero-chroma mask-matte token gains 0.005 chroma so the full example sweep is 0-FAIL again.
…documented The consistency sweep caught one twin the mid-band move created (Riso and Almanac both landed on mid/grotesk-sans/cool): Riso's display is set at 800/900, so its honest class is grotesk-heavy, which separates them. The two pre-existing near-twins (Specimen/Atelier, Sport/Editorial) are now named in theme-axes' closing note so the two-of-three rotation rule knows to arbitrate them. Step 2's opening Do-line catches up with the hero and mirror-test additions.
The round-1 plan included per-model tic bans for the harness adapters but the item fell out of the execution order; landing it now. codex.md gains a Model-tics-to-refuse section (ghost cards, sketchy SVG filler, feTurbulence grain washes as filler, diagonal-stripe wallpaper, emoji bullets), and opencode.md gets the symptom-keyed version since it runs many models, with the standing line that the Critical floor and gates outrank any model's taste. Refuse-by-default framing: the brief's own words can earn a pattern back, the model's taste cannot. The grain line points at the forthcoming texture.md so budgeted texture stays sanctioned while filler grain stays refused.
The grain/halftone/misregistration/scanline recipes scattered across the riso, carnival, and arcade specs (plus the assets.md feTurbulence recipe) generalize into references/texture.md: five named artifacts with tokened budgets (--texture-opacity caps, one artifact family per page, never animated, pointer-events none), an affinity table (Riso/Carnival/Arcade/ faint-Newsprint earn it; Specimen/Atelier/modern-minimal stay banned), and a custom-ritual hook (B.6b: print-lineage draws may take ONE artifact). Rides along: e7's knob drops its scroll-linked-parallax option (it contradicted the page-wide parallax ban), hero-discipline's grain note stops claiming Specimen/Atelier carry texture (they ban it) and now names the real carriers, and the starfield ban line gains the scoped Arcade carve-out cross-reference so the two files stop arguing. Specs point at the shared recipes; SKILL.md Step 3 loads texture.md conditionally.
motion.md banned scroll-scrubbed animation 'unless there is a specific reason' while tier-c sanctioned animation-timeline outright - a live contradiction with no vocabulary between them. references/ scroll-choreography.md now IS the specific reason: four named patterns (pinned chapter, scrub-linked headline, progress spine, sticky diptych) with Baseline-2025 recipes, each inside @supports + reduced-motion + min-width guards so the base page is always the finished page. Two correctness rules are baked in: the animation shorthand resets animation-timeline (declare after), and pinned-pane children cannot drive their own view() (steps ride a named timeline on the tall track). Budget: one pattern per page (sloplint F8 will count), never on body text, linear easing for scrub, hero orchestration untouched, JS fallback is the IO reveal-once only. motion.md reroutes to the vocabulary, tier-c's decision row defers to it, macros 14/16 and f2 point at it, and SKILL.md loads it conditionally.
references/dark-mode.md: per-token re-derivation table (elevation gets LIGHTER, accent chroma drops as lightness rises, hue never moves, body weight -50), the exact dual-block emission shape ([data-mode=dark] plus a prefers-color-scheme auto block guarded by :root:not([data-mode]), with the no-flash toggle note and color-scheme), and the dark discipline: shadows become lightness or inset rings (glow stays a THEME carve-out, named), cards sit lighter than canvas, one heading colour, never CSS invert on raster, kit multiply assets skip dark. Both modes run the full gate sweep and the stamp records modes: light+dark. color.md's recipe shrinks to a pointer and its 12-16 vs 12-18 paper disagreement unifies at 12-18. Dual-mode stays strictly opt-in: a dark theme is not a dual-mode page. SKILL.md gains the Step 6 bullet and the conditional load entry.
references/data-viz.md: form heuristic first (one value = stat tile never a one-bar chart, > 7 categories = a table, parts-of-whole = stacked bar never pie/donut/gauge), hand-built SVG construction specs (bars <= 24px baseline-zero, 2px lines, 1px solid gridlines never dashed, ONE y-axis never dual), colour adapted to the one-accent discipline (lightness ramp on the accent for multi-series, fixed order never cycled; labels never wear the data colour), honesty riding gate 46 (zero baselines, annotated zooms, internally consistent sample data), the dark note, and the dashboard bar: one figure, one chart, one table - the six-gauge KPI wall is the tell this file kills. Stat-Led, Ledger, Sport, and Almanac point at it; SKILL.md loads it conditionally.
references/brand-truth.md: when a brief names a real company, the brand's colours and fonts are captured mechanically (homepage + same-origin CSS under study.md's remote-safety rules, meta theme-color, names-only font CSS) into .hallmark/brand-spec.md with provenance and a derived-not- guessed attestation, and theming anchors on the spec. Memory hex is a named failure. The spec caches like preflight.json (90-day staleness, design.md still outranks it), the no-fetch path asks once and otherwise builds free of brand claims, and real logos are never redrawn or hotlinked from strangers. Wired as pre-flight signal source 0.5, into the Step 1 brand-colour signal, the conditional load list, and custom B.1's anchor derivation.
references/finish.md joins the every-build list: heading measure by size (ch caps ON the element, from ~20ch at display down to ~45ch at xl, body envelope untouched), typeset punctuation (curly quotes, true ellipsis, non-breaking unit pairs, tabular-nums on comparing numbers), text-wrap balance/pretty, hanging punctuation on pull-quotes, one filled primary per page, the button height budget threaded through the existing 44px floor and 48px coarse-pointer rules via the hit-target expansion recipe, icon discipline (one set, natural grid, no coloured coins, first-line alignment), concentric radii (inner = outer - padding), the mobile-runs- larger idiom (body-adjacent UI steps DOWN at 60rem; display clamps exempt; 16px mobile floor), and motion finish (exits 60-75% of enters, stagger bands 30-50/60-100ms). Companions: typography.md gains the measure table at its sizing section, motion.md's exit ratio widens from ~75% to the 60-75% band so it stops disagreeing with microinteractions.md, responsive.md points at the mobile-larger idiom. The F-tier checks land separately.
…move layout-and-space.md gains § Surfaces directly above Depth: whitespace, then a hairline seam, then a tinted well (paper-2/3, no border - the tint IS the boundary), then a card, reserved for independently interactive or fundamentally different content. Never straight to cards, never white cards on a tinted page, and Depth now reads as the ladder's dressed top rung. Gate 9 names the ladder as its fix vocabulary: different regions climb different rungs. The F7 monotony check lands with the F-tier.
sloplint gains F1-F9, a tier that reports beside the gates without ever counting in the 58: straight quotes and three-period ellipses caught on a new position-preserving masked-prose view (code blocks, comments, and tags space-padded so line numbers stay exact; entity-encoded quotes match too, and doc.text now decodes quot/apos/hellip/mdash for future text checks), missing text-wrap balance on display heads, more than one filled-primary button, icon-in-coloured-circle coins, display-size numerics without tabular figures, one container recipe stamped across six-plus selectors, a second scroll-choreography pattern, and fake-human avatar hotlinks (the tier's one FAIL) with person-keyword stock URLs as the WARN half. gateSortKey groups F ids after the numbered gates; component scope inherits F4/F5/F6/F9. Verified: a fixture trips all nine with correct grades and lines; the canonical examples stay 0-FAIL (their handful of new F-WARNs is the tier working); the legacy sweep holds at exactly the 190-FAIL baseline.
…ore fake people site/imagery/ now ships (serving at usehallmark.com/imagery/ on deploy): 16 photoreal placeholder avatars (768px, varied ages/skin/hair on neutral studio grounds, natural texture, no smooth-mesh AI look; provenance JSON sidecars committed; each paired deterministically with a unisex name so gate 19 never meets another Jane Doe), 4 watercolor washes and 4 single- colour brush gestures on white ground (composited via multiply - no faked alpha; the category skips dark themes), 4 hand-built tileable texture SVGs, 12 hand-built currentColor marks in four geometric families (inline them - img cannot inherit currentColor; wordmarks are a composition of mark + display-token text, since baked-text SVGs cannot use page fonts), and 3 app-screen frames built on Hallmark tokens with their HTML sources committed beside them for one-command re-render. Total 1.7MB, ~$1.06 of Together spend, every generated file QC'd in the browser (two off-brief brushes were regenerated single-colour and pixel-verified). imagery-kit.md's manifest is now the real allowlist with provenance columns; the categories table gains avatar/mark/screens rows and the white-ground multiply contract; the placeholder ladder's tier 1 points at the real kit and tier 4 loses person keywords (F9's territory); the portrait row of the image-need table routes to kit avatars.
…gh, usage capture gen-cli.mjs learns --model and --effort (forwarded to the claude call), a bare no-skill control arm (plain brief prompt, no skill copy), a $3 per-cell budget guard, and --setting-sources project on BOTH arms so the user-scope hallmark install can neither leak into the control nor version-skew the skill arm; stampPresent on a bare cell doubles as the leak detector. The result event's usage lands in run.json (tokens in/out/cacheRead, turns, stop subtype) with the camelCase modelUsage fallback, and cells are named arm-effort-cli so effort variants coexist.
…minal Running the harness from inside a Claude Code session leaks ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL and the CLAUDE_CODE_* host vars into the spawned claude, which then reports not-logged-in even in an authenticated terminal. The child env now drops them alongside the API key. Also removes the six dead cells that run recorded: headless subscription auth needs a terminal login this environment cannot perform, so the A/B results were produced with in-session subagents instead (disclosed in the PR).
Two briefs (voice-cloning studio, pre-traction B2B SaaS) built twice each, once with no skill and once running the Hallmark flow, same model and same subscription. Artifacts, run records, and the skill's own state files land under eval/runs so the comparison is auditable rather than asserted: the two control pages carry 95 sloplint failures between them (off-scale spacing, unowned colour literals, pure #fff surfaces, layout-property transitions, no provenance stamp), the two skill pages carry none, at roughly a third more tokens and a tenth more wall-clock. Both arms respected the pre-traction brief's honesty constraint, so that half of the test was a wash and each run.json records it that way, along with the runner substitution and the effort setting actually used.
The eval run outputs, the internal design proposals, and a scratch QC page for the imagery kit were all riding along in the PR while being linked from nothing. They come out of tracking: eval/runs (the four A/B cells from this session plus the older model-comparison artifacts, all of it evidence rather than product), site/_proposals (44 files of before/after and theme-exploration pages, preserved outside the repo), and site/imagery/_qc.html (a scratch grid I used to eyeball the generated assets). The eval harness itself stays so the tests are re-runnable, and .gitignore now covers the pycache and the QC pages that slipped past it. The four theme examples added this round stay: arcade-01, field-01, grid-01, and ledger-01 are the worked examples their own theme docs link to, not stray test output.

Hallmark v1.2, one release
Everything on this branch ships together as v1.2: the catalog grows to 24 themes, variants becomes a fast progressive loop with a corner dock, the skill goes deep on the three terminals that matter, and a round of anti-sameness improvements lands across the rulebook.
Themes and rules
Variants v2 + the corner dock
Progressive reveal, parallel sketch-depth drafts, thumbnails, compositional grafts, section-zoom, a decisions log, scoped Vite/Astro/SvelteKit preview injection. Every control surface is now one bottom-right corner dock over the full-bleed page (picker single view, on-page chip, injection overlay, static compare), shadow-DOM isolated, state-fed so riffed directions stay reachable.
Tooling
Verification
Mechanical checks green across the board: all examples sloplint-clean, hook fixtures pass, installer idempotent, corner dock verified end-to-end in the browser, consistency scripts assert the axes/fingerprint/routing invariants. Open items needing a logged-in terminal: Tier A conformance runs, the variants speed bench, one live image generation.
Round 2: the capability layers
finish.md, every build): heading measure by size, typeset punctuation, text-wrap balance/pretty, one filled primary, button height budget, icon discipline, concentric radii, mobile-runs-larger, motion finish. Backed by a new F-tier in sloplint (F1-F9): nine mechanical polish checks that report beside the gates without ever counting in the 58 (fake-avatar hotlinks are the tier's one FAIL).scroll-choreography.md): four earned patterns (pinned chapter, scrub-linked headline, progress spine, sticky diptych) with Baseline-2025 progressive-enhancement recipes, one per page, replacing a blanket ban that contradicted the craft tier.texture.md): grain, halftone, misregistration, scanline, and deckle as budgeted, tokened recipes earned by theme lineage.dark-mode.md): parity by per-token re-derivation, dual-block emission on request, dark shadow discipline.data-viz.md): form heuristic, hand-built SVG mark specs, one-accent series colour, one y-axis never dual, honesty tied to gate 46.brand-truth.md): real brands get fetched values recorded to a provenance spec, never memory hex.site/imagery/(16 QC'd photoreal placeholder avatars with paired unisex names, washes, brush gestures, marks, textures, three token-true app-screen frames with sources), a filled manifest as the URL allowlist, and the fake-avatar services banned by check.Verification: the full example sweep holds at the round-1 baseline, an F-tier fixture trips all nine checks with exact grades and lines, every new reference is wired into SKILL.md's load lists, and the four documented contradictions (scroll ban vs craft tier, e7 parallax knob, hero-discipline's texture misattribution, color.md's dark-band disagreement) are resolved.
