 What the pick settles: the settled constraint (dark-first with a real, tested light mode) stands for the landing; the light cutouts (`r2-chrome-blobs-set-cut.png`, `r2-chrome-blob-one-cut.png`, `r2-bongos-chrome-a-cut.png`) are production material for the light mode, so the build's asset set is the three black plates plus the three cutouts. v1 and v2 stay on disk as built and verified; what they leave behind for the build: v1's pointer parallax as an optional second layer of the drift, v2's beat rail down the margin of the live ledger (the reviewer's strongest below-the-fold block of the round) as the ledger proof's alternative form, and v2's mode-invariant black stage as the pattern for any surface that must keep black in light.
 
+**2026-08-28: the owner's review of the shipped hero (task 1003333).** Three corrections to the pick, each overriding this record and `DESIGN.md` where they conflicted: the doors sit in the blob's lower half (stage 73% dark / 75% light, from 53 / 60), not at its centre; the three leader-line figures leave the landing (they read as "random lines" there; the poster card on `/projects` keeps the grammar, task 1003301); and the small bead's orbit is replaced by the big plates themselves drifting like a lava lamp (v1's "drift" of §3, built: `drift-form` 74s, `drift-orb` 58s, transform only, dead under reduced motion; the pointer parallax stays out, no motion in JavaScript). The bead left the hero and survives as the third project orb below the fold. The two feeds that fed only the figures (`/public/cost-summary`, `/public/leaderboard`) leave the page with them.

 ## 7. Shot list: real imagery still owed
 
 No version left a placeholder slot: every image on the three pages is a real plate (the round-2 chrome set, the single blob, the two bongo pairs, the two new blob cutouts) or the real Verro Labs medallion, and the proof is the ledger rendered as page content, so no hall or hub capture is used. What the build will still owe:

 THESIS: the owner's template, built as a working front door. One chrome sculpture holds the whole

+first viewport, the headline crosses it in two lines, and the only thing on the big blob is the
+choice: the two doors, joined, floating in its lower half.
 FIRST VIEWPORT (1440, dark): the big round blob 54vw at the centre-left, its top crossed by the
 h1's second line; the sweeping form across the upper right with the three-quarter chrome bongo pair
-sitting on it; the lede top-left under the first line; three leader-line callouts on real ledger
-numbers, each on black rather than on chrome (upper right beside the bongos, mid right, and lower
-right past the blob's shoulder, its leader flipped so the line still gestures back at the form);
-the joined door pill at the blob's centre, primary carrying the one warm accent, its ground half
-black so the sculpture still reads through it; the pipeline rail lives below the fold.
+sitting on it; the lede top-left under the first line; the joined door pill in the blob's lower
+half, below its centre, primary carrying the one warm accent, its ground half black so the
+sculpture still reads through it; nothing else is written on the sculpture (the owner's review of
+2026-08-28, task 1003333, took the three leader-line figures off the landing; the poster card on
+/projects keeps that grammar); the pipeline rail lives below the fold.
 STAGE: every vertical token in the hero is a percentage of a FLOORED stage, max(100dvh, 900px),
 not of the raw viewport. At 900 and taller the frame above is reproduced exactly; a shorter laptop
 viewport (1536x730, 1440x760) scrolls the last of the hero instead of recomposing it, which is what
-used to run the h1 through the lede and slide the third callout onto the lit chrome. The third
-callout is the one exception: it is anchored to the sweeping form's own box, because that form is
-sized from vw, so at 1536 and wider a stage-anchored callout still met its lit lower lobe.
+used to run the h1 through the lede.
 PLATES: /assets/world/, six files with provenance sidecars, referenced only through the world
 layer's paired tokens. The big blob is r2-chrome-blob-one, not the set's round blob, because the
 set's runs off its own lower edge and a form cropped by nothing is what a pale ground needs; the
-orbiting bead is the set's third form; the sweeping form is the set, cropped to the plate's full
-height so its lower edge falls where the plate is already empty. Below the fold the three project
-orbs are three DIFFERENT objects on the same crop maths (the round blob, the chrome pair, the set's
-small bead) so one silhouette is not repeated down the page, and the closing figure is the pair
-again, over the doors.
-SIGNATURE, "the breath": the big blob breathes (scale 1 to 1.035, 32s ease-in-out) under a slow hue
-drift (plus or minus 12 degrees, 40s) so the iridescence keeps moving, and a chrome bead orbits it on
-a 60s circular path walked as twelve steps of the translate property. The authored moment is the
-arrival: the three forms converge from slightly apart into place in 700ms. All CSS, all on the plates
-themselves so the lighten group is never broken; the doors sit in their own layer and never scale
-with the blob. The world layer's reduced-motion kill switch stops every one of them, and the still
-frame (bead at three o'clock, blob at rest, no hue shift) is the composition.

+task 1003333); it survives below the fold as the third project orb. The three project orbs are

+big plates float like a lava lamp on their own long loops (the sweeping form 74s, the blob 58s;
+translate inside 5% of each plate's own box, rotation inside 1.5deg, on the transform property
+alone). The authored moment is the arrival: the forms converge from slightly apart into place in

+shift) is the composition.
 LIGHT ANSWER, "the rebuilt light mode": no black panel anywhere. The same sculpture, cut out with
 real alpha, sits directly on the pale ground with a soft contact shadow so it reads as objects on
-paper. The blob, the orbiting bead and the bongo pair are whole; the sweeping form is deliberately
-not, it carries a gradient mask that dissolves its left edge and it bleeds off the right of the
-viewport, which is how a form that wide stays a backdrop and not a fourth object. The type moves off
-the chrome onto clean paper at the left, and the callouts become margin annotations whose leader
-lines reach in far enough to meet the silhouette. The doors keep their place at the blob's centre on
-a near opaque pale ground. At 390 light inverts the stack: the sculpture is a masthead at the top and
-every word sits on paper under it.
