+# From direction to a working surface
+
+Hermes loads this document through the selected frontend-ui-ux skill. Read the request as a scope boundary: an explicit build deserves implementation; a critique deserves findings. The natural-route context and conditional UI context guide behavior but do not grant file or host permissions. A mention of a UI in a backend explanation is not a redesign request.
+
+Before editing, identify the actual page, stack, user task, preserved brand elements and actions/states. Keep this direction note small enough to revise. The evidence-capable v1beta2 contract remains the final inventory for verification, and evolves during the build. Older references that call this a freeze describe a versioned review snapshot, not an extra approval gate or a requirement to finish JSON before writing UI. Review/plan-only intent remains read-only even if other guidance says implement.
+
+There is no mandatory interview. Ask only when two plausible answers would materially change scope, architecture, permissions, accessibility, or visual direction. Ask one high-impact question at a time, wait for its answer, then resolve the next material uncertainty in a later turn; continue for as many rounds as materially necessary. Retain earlier answers across rounds in the conversation and task-local direction note, reread them on resume, and do not re-ask a resolved question. When the brief already bounds the work, state the default and proceed without pausing for an interview. Review, plan, and keyword-only requests remain read-only. A cancellation suspends new writes and captures partial status; resumption reuses confirmed assets and source.
+
+When the brief does not specify another direction, use the authored tokens in `references/default-editorial-pixel.json` and make an original, task-specific pixel illustration the primary visual anchor. Render each cell at least 6 CSS px and preserve crisp integer-grid edges with nearest-neighbor scaling; do not smooth or blur the illustration. Build the surrounding editorial hierarchy with generous spacing, compact display lines, a terminal accent and deliberate asymmetry. A rounded abstract symbol or a generic gradient cannot stand in for the task-specific illustration. Keep pixel art decorative when the task is conveyed in real text; add meaningful alternative text when it conveys unique content. Never borrow a reference site's artwork, proprietary font or copy.
+
+Existing branding wins over defaults. Choose line breaks after fitting actual Korean/Latin copy, and adjust the proposed tokens instead of clipping the title. Keep body leading comfortable. Narrow layouts should restructure the composition, not merely shrink a desktop screenshot. Preserve native semantic elements, tab order, visible focus, validation recovery and programmatic labels. Check empty-state transitions: `.empty[hidden] { display: none; }` must win over a class display rule. An animated accent must have a useful static or reduced-motion state.
+
+Exercise the main action in a real browser at 320, 390 and 1440 CSS pixels; record viewport dimensions, focus, error handling, successful action and overflow. Capture the exact built revision. A missing native capture capability yields a named gap; an authorized external local replay may supplement it only when labeled separately. Keep previous failure captures and never turn a green validator into a visual PASS. Finish with working files and an inspected preview, with the unresolved boundary stated plainly.
