+## BLK-016 — rtk compression PATH-dead for 30 days: installer's own check can't see the tool shell
+
+- **Date**: 2026-07-04
+- **Friction**: user asked "is rtk installed + used right?". Measured (`rtk discover`): 6 of 5070 Bash commands compressed over 30 days, ~460K tokens missed (grep ~144K, git status ~112K, ls ~92K…). Hook registered, integrity pin OK, registry broad — yet near-zero real usage. Nobody noticed: degradation was silent (LRN-047 class).
+- **Real cause**: two-layer. (1) cargo installs rtk into `~/.cargo/bin`; hand-managed profile lost the PATH line (LRN-036 class) → Claude's TOOL shell can't resolve `rtk`. (2) install-plugins.sh sources `~/.cargo/env` for itself, so its `command -v rtk` check PASSES in the installer shell — validating an env the runtime never has. Hook survived via absolute-path substitution, but ONLY at string head (f0b7e89 guard): every COMPOUND rewrite (dominant Claude style — echo separators, `&&`) was dropped by design.
+- **Solution**: bridge symlink `~/.cargo/bin/rtk` → `~/.local/bin/rtk` (standard PATH). Immediate: created live, compound rewrites revived, proven in-session (bare grep → `rtk grep` output). Durable: install-plugins.sh STEP 3 idempotent self-repairing bridge, flip-tested 4/4 sandboxed HOME (LRN-096). Commit `e58037c` (RC fix on release/1.0.0).
+- **Status**: resolved.
+- **Reference**: lesson: a PATH-dependent hook must be verified in the TARGET shell, not the installer's (installer sourcing envs lies to its own checks); usage is MEASURED (`rtk discover`), never assumed. Corroborates [[LRN-047]] (silent degradation → measure) + [[LRN-036]] (hand-managed profile drift); guard interplay [[LRN-089]]-adjacent (ambient-state assumptions).
+- **backmerge**: entry from release/1.0.0 (2b4e7401); the fix `e58037c` was ALSO missing from develop (rtk was live-broken on develop) — ported to develop 2026-07-08 (review remediation A3, commit follows) so this "resolved" is now true on develop too.

+## BDR-062 — supersede BDR-031's 275-line CLAUDE.md target: 305 is the assumed reality
+
+- **Date**: 2026-07-08
+- **Status**: accepted (supersedes the 275-line density TARGET of [[BDR-031]] only; BDR-031's core principle — lightening = compression, not path-scope/externalization — stands unchanged)
+- **Decision**: The global CLAUDE.md sits at 305 lines and stays there. job1's density pass took it 319→305 and no later job re-inflated it; the extraction BDR-031 called for is done. Reaching the old 275 target (or even the 280 guard threshold) now costs clarity more than it saves tokens. The `hooks/session-start.sh` guard threshold is realigned 280→320: still catches genuine regression (real bloat past 320) but stops firing a permanent "density pass requis" warning on an assumed-final 305.
+- **Why**: the review (`.audit/review-release-1.0.0.md` A6) found the guard had warned every session since job1 without the target ever being met — a self-inflicted permanent warning, not an actionable signal. A gate that never goes green trains you to ignore it. Realign to reality; keep a 15-line margin so real regressions still surface.
+- **Alternatives rejected**: (a) finish the compression 305→≤275 — the remaining lines are load-bearing constraints, not filler; further squeeze loses clarity for a marginal token gain on a solo repo. (b) leave the guard at 280 and accept the permanent warning — a permanently-red non-blocking gate is noise. (c) rewrite BDR-031 — registries are append-only; supersede the target, keep the principle.
+- **Reference**: `hooks/session-start.sh:202-211`; supersedes the 275 target in [[BDR-031]] (principle kept). Review remediation A6, 2026-07-08.

+## LRN-098 — `/model` silently rewrites settings.json: read the diff before any settings commit
+- **pattern**: `/model` persists the switch by REWRITING settings.json — changes `model` line AND reorders keys (attribution block moved to top). Pending settings.json diff after a model switch = side-effect, not intent. 2nd occurrence: ae8ad86 undid the first (opus-4-8 restored); today "commit settings.json" nearly re-committed fable-5 as default right after that undo. Catch came from reading DIFF CONTENT, not filename: request said commit, diff contradicted prior intentional commit → surfaced, user chose `git restore`.
+- **why it matters**: "dirty settings.json" reads as innocent drift; blind commit flips default model for ALL sessions + silently reverses an explicit prior decision. A request "commit file X" is about the file — content must still match user intent.
+- **context**: 2026-07-04 RC 1.0.0 cleanup. Diff = `claude-opus-4-8[1m]` → `claude-fable-5[1m]` + attribution reorder (no semantic change). AskUserQuestion → restore.
+- **future application**: settings.json modified → read diff, check `model` line before commit. Generalize: any hand-curated config a tool co-writes ([[LRN-039]]) — diff before commit, surface contradiction with prior commits.

+## LRN-101 — nginx add_header inheritance: one child header wipes ALL parent headers — verify LIVE, not in config
+
+- **pattern**: nginx `add_header` inherits from server level ONLY if a location block declares NONE of its own. One `add_header Cache-Control ...` in a location → ALL 5 server-level security headers (CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy) silently dropped on every response matching that location. bchanot-cv live: pages served ZERO security headers while the config declared all 5; only the 404 path (no location-level add_header) carried them. Corollary, same audit: declared infra was STALE — prod turned out native nginx, repo's Docker stack latent (user correction post-audit) → container findings latent, live fix belongs to the VPS config outside the repo.
+- **why**: config review says "headers present" — a lie by inheritance. Only oracle = live responses (`curl -sI` per content type: html, pdf, image). Fix = repeat the headers in every location that uses add_header (or `include security-headers.conf`).

 - **context**: the whole job1-9 audit series ran on the premise *"Claude Code aplatit à 1 niveau → un design supposant 2 niveaux de sous-agents est cassé silencieusement."* job9 corrected it via `claude-code-guide` (official docs `code.claude.com/docs/en/agent-sdk/subagents.md`): a running subagent CAN spawn a further subagent IF `Agent` is in its `tools:` (omit it / add to `disallowedTools` to prevent nesting); hard cap **5 levels** ("a subagent 5 levels below main can't spawn further"); nesting **stabilized in v2.1.172** ("let subagents spawn their own subagents") — earlier versions did not support it at all. Live env confirmed **v2.1.203** (user). `claude --version` was unavailable in-sandbox so the report bracketed but could not pin it; the user pinned it.
 - **future application**: NEVER classify a subagent-dispatches-subagent design as "BROKEN" without checking the CC version. On ≥2.1.172 it works within the 5-level cap; on <2.1.172 it silently no-ops. The actionable finding is a VERSION-FLOOR ([[BDR-060]]) or a version-robust re-architecture (bundle→L1, [[BDR-061]]) — not "it's broken."

+- **pattern**: fix one cited instance of a banned pattern, leave the twins. Review found 4: trailer stripped from commit-changer only (A1, twins in bugfixer/feater/hotfixer); YAML quoted elsewhere but seo/security-auditor left broken (A4); attribution scrubbed on 3 skills but geo-analyzer missed (A5); gitleaks added to the hook generator but the installed hook not regenerated (A2).
+- **why it recurs**: the fixer greps for the reported line, fixes it, stops — never enumerates the pattern across the full surface. An adversarial review catches the twins later; nothing catches them at commit time.
+- **fix**: every pattern-fix ends with (1) a whole-surface grep proving zero residue, (2) a deterministic make-test guard that REDs if any occurrence returns. Shipped `lib/tests/run-review-guards.sh` — G1 trailer, G2 false attribution, G3 strict-YAML, G4 reconcile hermeticity, G5 hook-drift; teeth-verified (planted violation REDs). This is the check that would have caught A1/A4/A5/A2 at make-test time instead of a review.

+## LRN-114 — Editing a hook generator does not touch the installed hook: reinstall + drift-guard
+- **pattern**: job7 added the gitleaks scan to `_gitflow_emit_pre_commit` (the GENERATOR), but the installed `.githooks/pre-commit` is only (re)written by `gitflow init`/`install-hook`. job7 never re-installed → the repo's active hook stayed the pre-job7 version (620071b) for 8 days; `git commit` ran no secret scan while the team believed it did.
+- **why undetected**: T10 (drift test) compares only the hook's allow/block VERDICT, not content; T16 emits a FRESH hook in a throwaway repo, validating the generator, never the installed file. Both green while the installed hook was stale.
+- **fix**: after editing any template-generated artifact, regenerate the installed copy (`gitflow.sh install-hook`) AND add a content-drift gate — `run-review-guards.sh` G5 diffs installed `.githooks/pre-commit` against `emit-hook`.

+## LRN-115 — Analyzer Edit/Write grants are not dead capability: they write the report (false-positive)
+- **pattern**: a contract audit flagged seo/geo/validator-analyzer holding `Edit`/`Write` while instructed "do NOT apply any Edit/Write" as a defense-in-depth defect. Verified FALSE: those grants write the agent's own REPORT (`.claude/audits/VALIDATE.md`/`SEO.md`/`GEO.md`). The "never edit" rule targets CODE files (the fix-bundle is applied by the dispatcher) and is instruction-level — identical in the patron. Removing Write would break report generation.
+- **why it matters**: don't "harden" a report-only agent by stripping Write — it needs it for its report. The code/report distinction is instruction-enforced, not tool-enforced, by design.

+## LRN-116 — A resolved blocker's FIX can be missing from develop even when the entry backfills cleanly
+- **pattern**: backfilling release/1.0.0 memory into develop, BLK-016 (rtk PATH-dead) was marked "resolved" via fix e58037c. Checked before backfilling: e58037c (the `~/.cargo/bin`→`~/.local/bin` bridge in install-plugins.sh) was NOT on develop — develop still installed rtk to a cargo bin dir the tool shell can't see → rtk compression was LIVE-broken on develop (~460K tokens/30d). The registry entry looked safe to copy; the underlying fix wasn't there.
+- **why it matters**: append-only registry backfill is "safe" only for the TEXT; a "resolved" status is a claim about CODE state that must be verified on the target branch, else you assert a resolution that isn't true.
+- **fix**: ported e58037c to develop (13-line idempotent bridge), THEN backfilled BLK-016 resolved. General: before backmerging a resolved blocker, grep the target for the fix's code signature.
+- **future application**: gitflow divergence review — enumerate release-only COMMITS that touch code, not just memory; a feature can be parallel-merged while its RC-branch fix is orphaned.
+- **cousin**: [[LRN-036]] (PATH profile drift), [[LRN-047]] (silent degradation).
+
+## LRN-117 — A release/develop fork silently orphans functional CODE on develop, not just memory
+- **pattern**: cutting release/1.0.0 and continuing on develop, the RC-branch bug fixes (find-skills drop `095d881`, make-update TTY guard `a1093ca`, rtk update-path version-guard `4c5e862`, rtk install bridge `e58037c`, SC1091 lint `e65796f`) landed ONLY on release. They were live-broken on develop for the whole fork duration (rtk compression dead, `make update` dies non-interactively). The review's memory back-merge caught the registry gaps and one code fix (rtk bridge); a full back-merge found ~5 more functional commits.
+- **why it hides**: registry-sequence gaps (missing LRN/BLK/EVAL ids) are easy to detect; orphaned CODE has no sequence to check. A feature can be parallel-merged to both branches while an RC-branch fix commit is never back-merged, and nothing flags it.
+- **fix**: at release-finish / in /reconcile, list `develop..release/*` commits touching functional files (exclude merges, `.claude/**`, version.txt/CHANGELOG) and present them for back-merge review. Advisory, NOT a hard make-test gate — cherry-picks land with new SHAs so the source commit stays in the range; automatic "already-ported?" equivalence is unreliable and would false-positive. Backlogged.
+- **future application**: any long-lived fork (release/*, long feature) — audit CODE divergence, not just declared/registry state ([[LRN-034]] narrated ≠ ground truth, applied to branches).

-  Demo Shell — design-motion-principles v2.1
-  ===========================================
+  Demo Shell — design-motion-principles
+  =====================================
 
-  This file is a template the audit agent reads during STEP 3 of the
-  audit workflow (see ../SKILL.md). The agent embeds one .demo-card per
-  Critical or Important finding (per R4 in the plan — Opportunities do
-  not get demo cards).
+  Minimal, isolated reference for a single demo card. The agent reads this
+  during STEP 3 of the audit workflow (see ../SKILL.md) and uses it as the
+  per-finding template — one .demo block per Critical or Important finding
+  (Opportunities don't get demo cards).
 
-  How to use this file as the agent
-  ---------------------------------
+  The full worked example with five demo cards in context lives in
+  references/report-template.html. This file is intentionally minimal:
+  one card, every contract visible, no report scaffolding.
+
+  How the agent uses this file
+  ----------------------------
   1. Copy the entire <style> block into the report's <head>. The shell's
-     CSS variables, .demo-card layout, loop indicator, and the
-     prefers-reduced-motion guard are shared across all demo cards in
-     the report — they are not duplicated per finding.
+     tokens, .demo layout, stage colors, segmented control, and the
+     prefers-reduced-motion guard are SHARED across every demo card in the
+     report and must not be duplicated per finding.
 
   2. For each finding {n} (1-indexed across the whole report):
-     a. Replace the MOTION-CODE-SLOT-{n} comment in <style> with the
-        per-finding @keyframes block AND any .demo-card-{n}__motion-target
-        selector rules. Use the suffix {n} so multiple findings in one
-        report do not collide on keyframe names or target selectors.
-     b. Replace the DEMO-CARD-MOTION-SLOT-{n} comment in the .demo-card
+     a. Replace the MOTION-CODE-SLOT-{n} comment with the per-finding
+        @keyframes m{n} block AND the .demo-{n}__mt selector rule.
+        Suffix {n} so multiple findings cannot collide on keyframe
+        names or selectors.
+     b. Replace the DEMO-CARD-MOTION-SLOT-{n} comment in the .demo__stage
         markup with the actual motion-target element. Its class must be
-        .demo-card-{n}__motion-target so it matches the rules above.
-     c. Set the .demo-card__header text to a short title for the
-        recommended motion (e.g., "Subtle enter: opacity + translateY + blur").
-     d. Set the .demo-card__subhead text to the duration plus easing or
-        other relevant values (e.g., "300ms · ease-out"). The subhead
-        ALWAYS renders — the agent populates it for every demo so card
-        heights stay consistent across the report.
+        .demo-{n}__mt so it matches the rules above.
+     c. Set .demo__title to a short title for the recommended motion
+        (e.g., "Quick tab crossfade", "Sheet enter (mirror for exit)").
+     d. Set .demo__timing to the duration plus easing (e.g.,
+        "180ms · ease-out", "300ms · ease-out-quint"). The subhead
+        ALWAYS renders — populate it for every demo so card heights
+        stay consistent across the report.
+     e. Renumber the four radio ids from st1-* to st{n}-*, and the
+        labels' for= attributes to match.
 
   3. Per-finding code MUST honor these contracts:
-     - Do not redefine the shell's CSS variables (--bg, --fg, --border,
-       --accent, --loop-dim, --card-radius, --card-padding, --gap,
+     - Do NOT redefine the shell's tokens (--ink, --paper, --surface-2,
+       --line, --line-strong, --st-bg, --st-fg, --st-line, --st-dim,
        --sans, --mono). Use them via var().
-     - Do not modify the prefers-reduced-motion block. The shell's
-       guard collapses all .demo-card-{n}__motion-target animations to
-       none. The per-finding @keyframes 100% state must match the
-       motion-target's default rendered state so the reduce-motion
-       fallback shows the correct final visual.
-     - Per-finding @keyframes use the 0% / 66% / 100% cadence:
-       0% = start state, 66% = motion complete (~2s in), 100% = hold
-       (~1s). The shell uses animation-duration: 3s.
+     - Do NOT modify the prefers-reduced-motion block. The shell's
+       guard collapses all .demo-{n}__mt animations to none. The
+       per-finding @keyframes 100% state MUST match the motion-target
+       element's default static rendering so the reduce-motion fallback
+       shows the correct final visual.
+     - Per-finding @keyframes use the 0% / ~60% / 100% cadence:
+       0% = start state, ~60% = motion complete (~1.8s in),
+       100% = hold (~1.2s). The shell uses animation-duration: 3s.
 
-  4. Demo cards are non-interactive. They have no hover or focus state
-     beyond the default outline suppression. tabindex="-1" keeps them
-     out of keyboard nav order — readers tab through findings, not
-     through demo cards.
+  4. Motion targets and ANY UI primitives inside the stage (.ui-btn,
+     .ui-card, .ui-row, .ui-check, .ui-num, .ui-label, badge, etc.)
+     use --st-bg / --st-fg / --st-line / --st-dim — NEVER --accent or
+     other page tokens. This guarantees the demo contrasts correctly
+     when its stage is locked to a different theme than the report.
+
+  5. Demo cards are non-interactive. The stage toggle radios are the
+     only interactive element. tabindex on the radios is fine; the
+     stage itself stays out of focus order.
 
   Loop pacing
   -----------
-  animation-duration: 3s. Keyframes 0% / 66% / 100%. Motion 0-66% = ~2s,
-  hold 66-100% = ~1s, then the animation restarts. Per-finding code
-  imitates this cadence so all demos in a report share the same rhythm.
+  animation-duration: 3s. Keyframes 0% / ~60% / 100%. Motion 0–60% ≈ 1.8s,
+  hold 60–100% ≈ 1.2s, then restart. Every demo in a report uses this
+  cadence so all cards share the same rhythm.
 
-  Empty state (this file rendered standalone)
-  -------------------------------------------
-  Opening this file directly in a browser shows one .demo-card with the
-  loop indicator and placeholder content. No motion plays — the agent
-  injects motion per finding when this template is embedded in a report.
+  Standalone preview
+  ------------------
+  Opening this file directly in a browser shows one .demo card with the
+  loop indicator, the segmented Auto/Light/Dark stage toggle, and a
+  placeholder motion target (a simple shape that fades in). No real
+  per-finding motion plays — the agent injects motion per finding when
+  this template is embedded in a report. The shell also honors the
+  viewer's prefers-color-scheme for standalone rendering.

 # Output Format
 
-This file defines the audit's two output modes:
+The audit produces one of two outputs:
 
-- **HTML mode (default)** — a self-contained `.html` file written to the audited project's `motion-audits/` directory and opened in the user's default browser. Each Critical or Important finding gets an auto-looping CSS demo card beside it.
-- **Terminal mode (flag-triggered)** — the decorated-markdown report rendered inline in the conversation. Use when the user passes `--terminal`, `--inline`, "show the full report inline," "skip the HTML," or any natural-language equivalent. No HTML file is written.
+- **HTML mode (default)** — a self-contained `.html` file written to the audited project's `motion-audits/` directory and opened in the user's default browser. Each Critical or Important finding gets a live, looping CSS demo card beside it.
+- **Terminal mode (flag-triggered)** — a decorated-markdown report rendered inline in the conversation. Use when the user passes `--terminal`, `--inline`, `--no-html`, "show the full report inline," or any natural-language equivalent. No HTML file is written.
 
-The two modes contain the same audit content; only the rendering differs. Do not summarize — users want full per-lens perspectives.
+Both modes carry the same audit content; only the rendering differs. Do not summarize — users want full per-lens perspectives.

 ## HTML mode
 
+### Canonical references
+
+| File | Role |
+|---|---|
+| `references/report-template.html` | **Source of truth.** Full worked example (fictional "Tally" habit tracker, React + Framer Motion). Every section, every token, every pattern. When in doubt about layout, structure, or styling, READ this file. |
+| `references/demo-shell.html` | Minimal isolated example of a single demo card with the per-finding slot pattern. Used as a per-finding template snippet. |
+
+The agent builds the report by reading these two files and adapting them to the audited project — same architecture, audit-specific content.
+
 ### File structure
 
-The HTML output is a single self-contained `.html` document with everything inlined — no external CSS, no external JS, no external fonts (fonts may degrade gracefully if a CDN reference is used). The file scaffolds:
+Single self-contained `.html`. All CSS inlined. No external JS. Fonts loaded via Google Fonts CDN (Familjen Grotesk / Public Sans / Geist Mono) with full system-stack fallbacks so the file degrades gracefully offline.

-### Report's own motion posture
+### Design system
 
-The report itself has **no** entrance, scroll, or mount animations. No staggered reveals, no fade-in-on-scroll, no motion-on-mount outside the demo cards. The demo cards are the only animated elements in the document — anything else would reproduce the AI-slop patterns the skill audits against.
+Neutral-default, dual-mode, severity-driven.
 
-### Hero header
+- **Neutrals.** Cool slate-graphite at hue 255, very low chroma (0.003–0.010). `--ink` is the page background; `--paper` is the foreground text. In light mode the two swap values via the `:root:has(#theme-light:checked)` override — every other token derives from these two and flips automatically.
+- **Severity (FIXED, never adaptive).** Red `oklch(0.655 0.185 25)` (critical) · Amber `oklch(0.805 0.125 78)` (important) · Green `oklch(0.745 0.135 152)` (opportunity). Light-mode counterparts deepen L for contrast on white; hues stay constant.
+- **Timing-budget ramp (FIXED).** Same hues as severity; used in section 02 only. Instant + responsive = green, deliberate = amber, sluggish = red.
+- **Accent (NEUTRAL by default).** `--accent`, `--accent-soft`, `--accent-tint` alias to `--paper`, `--paper-dim`, and a low-alpha paper tint. The report has no chromatic primary color — severity is the only color in the document. An individual audit MAY repoint these three to a sampled brand color, but ONLY if the brand has at least ~40° hue clearance from each of the severity hues and is verified not to fall in the AI-cliché zone (neon cyan, purple-to-blue gradients).
+- **Fonts.** Display = Familjen Grotesk, body = Public Sans, mono = Geist Mono. The mono carries timing values (`240ms · ease-out`) and all small labels — never substitute a more generic mono for the timing values.
 
-Top of the document. Project name + ISO date + severity counts row + primary lens label.
+### Dual theme
 
-```html
-<header class="report-hero">
-  <h1>{project-name} motion audit</h1>
-  <p class="report-hero__date">{ISO date}</p>
-  <p class="report-hero__counts">
-    <a href="#critical-findings">🔴 Critical: {N}</a> ·
-    <a href="#important-findings">🟡 Important: {N}</a> ·
-    <a href="#opportunity-findings">🟢 Opportunities: {N}</a>
-  </p>
-  <p class="report-hero__primary">Primary: {Designer Name} — {Perspective Handle}</p>
-</header>
+Pure-CSS toggle. Two radios (`#theme-dark` default-checked, `#theme-light`) live inside `.theme-switch` at the top of `.wrap`. `:root:has(#theme-light:checked)` overrides every theme-dependent token. No JS. Selector compatibility: `:has()` is Baseline 2023, supported by all modern browsers.
+
+The global toggle's visual control is a segmented `Dark / Light` pill, top-right of the page, styled to match the per-demo stage segmented control.
+
+### The report's motion posture
+
+**The report itself has no entrance, scroll, or mount animation.** No staggered reveals. No fade-in-on-scroll. No motion on mount outside the demo cards. The demo cards are the only animated elements in the document — anything else would reproduce the AI-slop patterns this skill audits against.
+
+The one allowed transition: `border-color 0.2s ease` on lens-table rows and finding-rows for hover feedback. That's it.
+
+### Sections (in render order)
+
+#### Global theme switch
+First element inside `.wrap`, right-aligned segmented `Dark / Light` pill.
+
+#### Header
+```
+.eyebrow ("MOTION AUDIT · DESIGN-MOTION-PRINCIPLES")
+h1.title ({project name} — {one-line audit framing})
+p.lede ({1–2 sentence project description})
+.meta-row (what it is · stack)
+.stats (Findings · Critical · Important · Opportunities — each is an anchor link to its rec table)
 ```
 
-The severity counts pair each emoji with a text label (`Critical: N`, not just `🔴 N`) so the severity signal is readable under red-green color vision deficiency. Each count is an anchor link to the corresponding section in the body — this is the navigation affordance for long audits with many findings.
+Each severity count pairs the number with a text label so the signal is readable under red-green color vision deficiency. Each count is an anchor link (`#rec-crit`, `#rec-imp`, `#rec-opp`) to the corresponding recommendation table.
 
-### Overall Assessment
+#### Overall Assessment
+One short paragraph in larger display type. Does this feel polished? Too much? Too little? What's working, what's not? Wraps in `<section class="assessment">` with a `mono-label` "OVERALL" eyebrow.
 
-One short paragraph in larger type. Does this feel polished? Too much? Too little? What's working, what's not?
+#### 01 · Lens summary
+3-row table, one row per practitioner. Columns: Lens (with name and weight chip) · Verdict (`Strong` / `Concern` / `Problem` / `Mixed` with a colored dot) · One-line read. Weight chips indicate `Primary` / `Secondary` / `Selective` per audit context.
 
-```html
-<section class="report-assessment">
-  <p>{one-paragraph assessment}</p>
-</section>
+#### 02 · Where the timings land — duration-budget diagram
+Motion-native analog of thumb-first's thumb-zone diagram. A horizontal SVG (`viewBox="0 0 660 300"`) plots Tally's animations as numbered dots on a 0–600ms scale with four zone bands:
+
+| Zone | Range | Color |
+|---|---|---|
+| Instant | 0–100ms | green (`--t-good`) |
+| Responsive | 100–300ms | green (`--t-good`) |
+| Deliberate | 300–500ms | amber (`--t-mid`) |
+| Sluggish | 500ms+ | red (`--t-slow`) |
+
+Animations with NO transition are plotted as hollow dashed circles at `x=40` (= 0ms). The paired key list to the right carries the action names and durations. A "What's off" block below explains the misalignments.
+
+The SVG uses CSS-class-driven fills (via an inline `<style>` block) so the diagram re-tones with the global theme. Dot label color flips per theme (dark text on lighter dots in dark mode, light text on deeper dots in light mode).
+
+#### 03–05 · Per-lens sections
+Three sections, ordered by weighting (primary first). Each section:
+
+```
+.lens-sec__head (h3 "Designer — Perspective" + .lens-sec__weight chip)
+p.lens-sec__verdict (verdict dot)
+
+.lens-block "What's working well"  (ul.lens-list.good with ✓ markers + file refs)
+.lens-block "Issues to address"    (one .finding-row per Critical/Important finding)
+.lens-block "Opportunities"        (ul.lens-list.opp with 💡 markers + file refs)
+
+.lens-take ("Through {Designer}'s lens: {1–2 sentence summary}")
 ```
 
-### Per-lens sections
+Section heading: `Designer Name — Perspective Handle` (em-dash). Lens take is the documented lens summary, NOT a quote from the person — render as `Through {Designer}'s lens` (apostrophe-s).
 
-Three sections in weighting order: primary, secondary, selective. Each section header pairs the designer name with the perspective handle using an em-dash (`Designer Name — Perspective Handle`):
+Three perspective handles:

-`{n}` is the finding's 1-indexed position **across the whole report** (not per-section). This guarantees `@keyframes motion-{n}-...` and `.demo-card-{n}__motion-target` selector names are unique across the document, so concatenating multiple findings' CSS in one `<style>` block does not produce keyframe-name collisions.
+`{n}` is the finding's 1-indexed position across the whole report (not per-section). This guarantees `@keyframes m{n}` and `.demo-{n}__mt` selectors are unique across the concatenated `<style>` block.
 
-Opportunities never render a demo card. They appear in the per-lens section's `Opportunities` block as a plain bulleted list.
+#### Stage 3-state toggle
 
-### Demo-shell embedding pattern
+| State | Behavior |
+|---|---|
+| **Auto** (default) | Stage colors follow the global theme via `--surface-2` + `--paper` tokens. Matches the rest of the report. |
+| **Light** | Hardcoded light stage (`--st-bg: oklch(0.985 0.003 255)`, `--st-fg: oklch(0.180 0.006 255)`). Overrides global. |
+| **Dark** | Hardcoded dark stage (inverted). Overrides global. |
 
-The agent reads `references/demo-shell.html` and uses it as a template. For each Critical or Important finding:
+Pure CSS. Radio inputs precede `.demo__bar` and `.demo__stage` so sibling-combinator selectors (`#stN-l:checked ~ .demo__stage`) work.
 
-1. **Generate the per-finding motion code.** Read the audited code, the relevant lens reference (`emil-kowalski.md`, `jakub-krehel.md`, `jhey-tompkins.md` — matching the lens this finding lives under), and `references/motion-cookbook.md` for the concrete recipe (easing, spring config, enter/exit shape). Write a CSS keyframe block + selector rules that demonstrate the recommended motion. Use the 0% / 66% / 100% cadence with `animation-duration: 3s` (~2s motion, ~1s hold, then loop).
+#### Stage tokens (used by motion targets)
 
-2. **Inject the per-finding code into the report's `<style>` block.** Append a `@keyframes motion-{n}-...` block and a `.demo-card-{n}__motion-target { animation: ...; }` rule. The shell's CSS variables (`--bg`, `--fg`, `--border`, `--accent`, `--loop-dim`, `--sans`, `--mono`) are available — use them via `var()`. Do not redefine them.
+| Token | Role |
+|---|---|
+| `--st-bg` | Stage background color |
+| `--st-fg` | Foreground / text / "ink" color on the stage |
+| `--st-line` | Border / divider color on the stage |
+| `--st-dim` | Dimmed text color on the stage |
 
-3. **Inject the motion-target element into the `.demo-card__stage`.** The element's class must be `.demo-card-{n}__motion-target` so it matches the rules from step 2.
+Motion-target elements (`.ui-btn`, `.ui-card`, `.ui-row`, `.ui-check`, `.ui-num`, `.ui-label`, milestone badge, etc.) use `--st-fg` / `--st-bg` instead of `--accent` / page colors. This guarantees correct contrast even when a stage is locked to a different theme than the page.
 
-4. **Set the demo card's header and subhead.** Header = short title for the recommended motion (e.g., "Subtle enter: opacity + translateY + blur"). Subhead = duration + easing in monospace (e.g., "300ms · ease-out"). The subhead always renders — populate it for every demo.
+#### Per-finding motion code
 
-5. **Honor the prefers-reduced-motion guard.** The shell's `@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)` block disables all `[class*="__motion-target"]` animations. The per-finding `@keyframes` 100% values MUST match the motion-target element's default static rendering so the reduce-motion fallback shows the correct final visual. Do not write per-finding overrides inside the reduce-motion block.
+For each Critical or Important finding `{n}`:
 
-### Combined Recommendations tables
-
-After the three per-lens sections, render severity-grouped tables for quick scanning:
-
-```html
-<section class="recommendations" id="critical-findings">
-  <h2>🔴 Critical (Must Fix)</h2>
-  <table>
-    <thead>
-      <tr><th>Issue</th><th>File</th><th>Action</th></tr>
-    </thead>
-    <tbody>
-      <tr>
-        <td>{issue}</td>
-        <td><code>{file:line}</code></td>
-        <td>{fix}</td>
-      </tr>
-    </tbody>
-  </table>
-</section>
-
-<section class="recommendations" id="important-findings">
-  <h2>🟡 Important (Should Fix)</h2>
-  <!-- same shape -->
-</section>
-
-<section class="recommendations" id="opportunity-findings">
-  <h2>🟢 Opportunities (Could Enhance)</h2>
-  <!-- same shape -->
-</section>
-```
-
-The hero's severity counts link to these section IDs (`#critical-findings`, `#important-findings`, `#opportunity-findings`).
-
-### Lens Reference Summary (closing)
-
-```html
-<section class="reference-summary">
-  <h2>Lens Reference Summary</h2>
-  <p><strong>Which lens was referenced most:</strong> {Designer} — {Perspective}</p>
-  <p><strong>Why:</strong> {one-line context reason}</p>
-  <p><strong>If you want to lean differently:</strong></p>
-  <ul>
-    <li>To follow Emil more strictly: {specific actions}</li>
-    <li>To follow Jakub more strictly: {specific actions}</li>
-    <li>To follow Jhey more strictly: {specific actions}</li>
-  </ul>
-</section>
-```
+1. **Generate motion code.** Read the audited code, the relevant lens reference (`emil-kowalski.md` / `jakub-krehel.md` / `jhey-tompkins.md`), and `references/motion-cookbook.md` for the concrete recipe. Author a `@keyframes m{n}` block and a `.demo-{n}__mt { animation: m{n} 3s {easing} infinite; }` rule.
+2. **Loop pacing.** `animation-duration: 3s`. Keyframes at `0%` / `~60%` / `100%`. Motion completes by ~60% (~1.8s), then holds until `100%` (~1.2s) before looping. The `100%` state MUST match the motion-target's default (no-animation) static rendering — this is the `prefers-reduced-motion` fallback contract.
+3. **Inject into `<style>`.** Append the `@keyframes m{n}` + `.demo-{n}__mt` block to the report's `<style>`, after the layout CSS, inside a `@media (prefers-reduced-motion: no-preference) { ... }` guard.
+4. **Inject demo-card markup.** Append the `.demo` block to the finding's `.finding-row`. Set `.demo__title` to a short motion title (e.g., "Quick tab crossfade"). Set `.demo__timing` to duration + easing (e.g., "180ms · ease-out").
+5. **Honor reduced-motion.** The shell's `@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)` block disables all `[class*="__mt"]` animations and hides the `↻` loop indicator. The per-finding `100%` keyframe state must match the motion-target's default static rendering. Do NOT write per-finding overrides inside the reduce-motion block.
 
 ### Empty-state behavior
 
 When the audit produces zero Critical + zero Important findings:
 
-- The hero still renders with the severity counts row (showing `Critical: 0 · Important: 0 · Opportunities: N`).
-- Each per-lens section's `Issues to Address` block still renders its header, but the body shows a dimmed-italic line:
+- Header still renders with the severity counts (showing `Critical: 0 · Important: 0 · Opportunities: N`).
+- Each per-lens "Issues to address" `.lens-block` still renders its `.mono-label`, but the body shows a dimmed-italic line:
   ```html
-  <div class="perspective-section__issues" id="emil-issues">
-    <h3>Issues to Address</h3>
-    <p class="perspective-section__empty">No issues found at this severity level.</p>
-  </div>
+  <p class="lens-empty">No issues found at this severity level.</p>
   ```
-  Style: `font-style: italic; color: var(--loop-dim); padding: 12px 0;`. Communicates absence without looking broken.
 - No `.finding-row` markup, no demo cards.
-- Opportunities still render in text as usual.
+- Opportunities still render as `.lens-list.opp` lists.
+- Combined recommendations tables render with empty `<tbody>` containing a single dimmed-italic row, OR are omitted entirely if their tier has zero findings.
 
 ### Responsive behavior
 
-The `.finding-row` two-column layout (prose left, demo right) needs a breakpoint for narrow viewports:
+- `.finding-row` 2-col → 1-col at ≤860px (demo stacks below prose).
+- `.timing-grid` 2-col → 1-col at ≤860px (key list stacks below SVG).
+- `.lens-table` → stacked blocks at ≤600px (each row becomes a block, headers hidden).
+- `.ref-lean` 2-col → 1-col at ≤600px.
 
-```css
-.finding-row {
-  display: grid;
-  grid-template-columns: 1fr 360px;
-  gap: 24px;
-  align-items: start;
-  margin: 24px 0;
-}
+### Absolute bans
 
-@media (max-width: 768px) {
-  .finding-row {
-    grid-template-columns: 1fr;
-  }
-  .demo-card {
-    max-width: 100%;
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Below 768px the demo card stacks below the finding prose. The shell's `min-width: 280px` keeps the card from compressing past usability.
-
-### Report layout tokens
-
-These extend the shell's tokens for report-level structure. Append to the `<style>` block after the shell's variables:
-
-```css

+- **NO `border-left` or `border-right` >1px as a colored accent stripe** on cards, list items, callouts, or alerts. Use full borders, leading numbers, tinted backgrounds, or no visual indicator instead. (The previous version of this spec had `border-left: 3px solid var(--accent)` on the lens-take block — removed.)
+- **NO gradient text** (`background-clip: text` + gradient).
+- **NO pulsing UI** in any demo (looping scale/opacity on status indicators, "live" pulse rings, breathing CTAs). Demo motion is structured one-shot enters that loop, not attention-getting pulses.
+- **NO chromatic accent in the default system.** The neutral-default is the supported configuration. Repointing `--accent` to a sampled brand color is permitted only when severity-hue clearance is verified.
