# DESIGN.md

Use this file as project-specific visual memory. Keep it true to the shipped product, not to an aspiration that has not been rendered.

## Product Character

- Product / audience:
- Primary workflow:
- Surface mode:
- Input model and viewing distance:
- Density and frequency:

## Direction

- Design stance:
- Style anchor:
- Signature move:
- Signature interaction:
- What is intentionally not used:
- Independent concepts considered:
- Chosen concept and why it belongs to this product:
- Rejected concepts and reason:

## Research Atlas

- User-provided references and inspection status:
- Competitor or category references and inspection status:
- Section-level winners: navigation / opening / object or feature proof / mobile / motion or state / ending:
- Selected references and visible decisions borrowed:
- Rejected references or traits and why:
- Reference weaknesses preserved or corrected:
- Template-risk observation:
- Synthesis summary:

## Authority And Exceptions

- Direction owner: project `DESIGN.md` / user reference / accepted concept / model proposal:
- Rules inherited from the owner:
- Advisory defaults intentionally overridden:
- Why each exception is deliberate:
- Evidence or reference inspected:
- Hard invariants preserved:
- Render proof reviewed at desktop / mobile / non-default / reduced-motion:

## Composition And Reading Distance

- Structural hypotheses to compare before polishing:
- Selected hypothesis and why it fits the subject:
- Per-region placement / text alignment / measure / occupancy / field / surface / pause / geometry tokens / neighbor relationship:
- Viewport field / content shell / object stage / reading measure:
- Useful empty space and its job:
- Changes of width, density, and pause across the full page:
- Wide screen limits / intermediate regrouping / narrow re-staging:
- Actual widths and states inspected; remaining composition defects:

## Type

- UI/body:
- Display/editorial:
- Numeric/code:
- Language/script support:
- Largest text role and ceiling:

## Color And Material

- Canvas / surfaces:
- Text / muted text:
- Border / divider:
- Action accent:
- Semantic states:
- Radius / depth / translucency rules:

## Geometry And Edges

- Edge character:
- Corner hierarchy: page field / dominant stage / secondary panel / control / pill:
- Separation order: spacing / tone / inset / overlap / depth / border / divider:
- Line policy and permitted jobs:
- Localized sharp exceptions and why:
- Desktop / mobile silhouette reviewed:

## Assets

- User-provided assets and required handling:
- Existing / official sources:
- Searched or generated assets and provenance:
- Primary asset role and focal crop:
- Desktop / mobile variants:
- Loading / poster / static fallback:
- Quality issues or blockers:

## Components

- Navigation:
- Controls:
- Forms:
- Lists / tables:
- Panels / drawers / dialogs:
- Media / product object:
- Card budget:
- States that must be designed:

## Product Signal

- Signal mode: functional product / narrative / art-directed / experimental:
- Product object:
- User and job:
- Core loop:
- Primary action:
- Visible result:
- Concrete content / data:
- State matrix:
- First viewport proof:
- Prototype interaction:
- Presentation shell rejected because:

## Authored Experience Signal

- Subject or world:
- Audience intent:
- Attention path:
- Creative thesis:
- Proof:
- Transition or ending:
- Why this form belongs to the work:

## Motion And Devices

- Motion grammar:
- Reduced-motion fallback:
- Desktop behavior:
- Mobile / touch behavior:
- Embedded / remote behavior:

## Evidence

- References inspected:
- Selected concept or screenshot revision and source:
- Visual decisions translated into implementation:
- Screens or routes verified:
- Actual baseline and revised captures:
- Known gaps:
- Last reviewed:
