 - \`revela-deck-foundation\` is the file-native foundation helper for new deck shells. Use it before adding slides to a new \`decks/*.html\` file; do not use \`DECKS.json\` or \`revela-decks\` to create the shell.
 - Visual intent is part of the deck-plan projection. During HTML generation, satisfy the planned component/visual brief using fetched design components; do not collapse planned visuals into prose-only bullets.
 - Cached deck slide specs in \`DECKS.json\` are legacy projections only. Canonical narrative remains the authority for audience, decision, claims, evidence boundaries, objections, and risks.
 - Cover, Table of Contents, and Closing are mandatory deck structure. TOC chapter headings must match the chapter grouping used for generation.
 - Do not generate the complete deck content in one broad pass. Work chapter by chapter while keeping the artifact valid after each write.
 - Applying evidence candidates or rewriting canonical claims requires explicit user instruction.
-- If the user requests slide order, layout, component, or visual-intent changes that do not alter meaning, update only the \`deck-plan/\` projection or artifact-level plan content.

 - If the user requests claim, evidence, caveat, decision, or recommendation meaning changes, update canonical narrative first, then report alignment diagnostics before compiling a new deck plan.
 - Do not store secrets, credentials, tokens, or sensitive personal information.
 - Artifact QA requires each slide to render exactly 1920x1080px, not merely any 16:9 ratio. It also checks component compliance, text overflow/clipping, page scrollbars, and whether normal QA-enabled content slides have enough claim/evidence/source substance.
