One process, run end to end: intake, fidelity, wireframe, three real directions, a token system, motion, review. An artifact at every step. Two places where it stops and waits for you.
Subject, audience, and the single job this screen has to do.
How finished this needs to be — the first real design decision, made deliberately.
Structure only, deliberately unfinished, so review is about layout and not colour.
Three genuinely different renders, built for real. Never a written menu of adjectives.
Colour sampled from real assets and justified in one sentence. Then the code.
Every animation earns its place against four gates — or is refused, in writing.
Scored on five dimensions against a hard floor. Fixed one commit at a time.
STATUS.md is the page for everyone else. Which step is done, which is waiting, who on, and a link to every artifact — written for the person paying for the work rather than the one doing it.
