+# Craft floor and responsive pass
+
+This is the authored rule sheet for the interface probe. `scripts/probe-thresholds.json` is the executable value register. Keep a changed number in that one file, then update this explanation and its fixture; never adjust a value after reading an A/B judge result. DET means the browser can inspect a signal. JUDG needs a reviewer, even when the browser offers a count. The probe records `not_verified` for a signal it cannot observe. A clean source search is never a rendered PASS.
+
+## Typography
+
+| Rule | Working decision |
+| --- | --- |
+| CF-101 | Measure prose containers with at least two rendered lines: paragraphs, long list items, quotes and definitions. Aim for 60–75 characters per Latin line. The longest line over 90 Latin or 60 CJK characters is MEDIUM. Do not score nav strips or tickers as prose. |
+| CF-102 | Score heading leading only when the heading wraps. Ordinary headings use 1.2–1.35; display headings at 40px or larger may sit at 1.05. |
+| CF-103 | Score wrapped body copy below 1.4 Latin or 1.5 CJK as MEDIUM. Targets are 1.5 and 1.6 respectively; exceeding a target raises nothing. Labels, chips and controls are outside this rule. |
+| CF-104 | A row that wraps to at least three lines keeps leading at or above 1.4. |
+| CF-105 | Use balanced wrapping for headings. A tiny last body line is a reviewer cue, not an automatic failure. |
+| CF-106 | Numeric columns and live numbers need tabular figures, a matching font feature, or genuinely monospace digits. |
+| CF-107 | Controls and nav labels use sentence case; preserve product names and acronyms. |
+| CF-108 | At 390px, census no more than seven type roles and two display/body families plus one mono. A recorded exception is a review decision. |
+| CF-109 | Text below 18px stays at weight 400 or higher; 100–300 weights belong only to display text of at least 28px. |
+
+## Colour and grouping
+
+| Rule | Working decision |
+| --- | --- |
+| CF-201 | Small text and placeholder text clear 4.5:1. Large or bold text and component boundaries clear 3:1. Composite translucent layers before deriving the ratio; unresolved image pixels become `not_verified`. |
+| CF-202 | Focused and unfocused styles must differ. Native `outline-style: auto` passes. A custom ring needs 2px and 3:1; an inadequate indicator is MEDIUM, no change is HIGH. The probe focuses a control without clicking or pressing it. |
+| CF-203 | APCA is advisory alongside the WCAG pair: body Lc 75/90, other text 60/75, large text 45/60, UI 30. It cannot block alone. |
+| CF-204 | Sample imagery or gradients behind glyphs when same-origin pixels are available. Cross-origin paint remains `not_verified`. |
+| CF-205 | At most one high-saturation interactive accent cluster per view. Count filled emphasis surfaces of at least 24×24px, not every coloured border. Review decides whether separate status hues are justified. |
+| CF-206 | Hues within 15 degrees serve one semantic colour. |
+| CF-207 | Status has text, icon or pattern as well as colour; absence of a second channel is HIGH. |
+| CF-301 | Spacing values at least 4px sit within 1px of a 4px multiple. One to three distinct off-scale values are LOW; more than three are MEDIUM. Skip auto margins. |
+| CF-302 | Where repeated sibling gaps reveal a group boundary, its gap is at least twice the within-group gap. Uniform sequences without a boundary pass. |
+| CF-303 | Adjacent non-interactive filled blocks need 12px; borderless unrelated blocks need 24px. Interactive neighbours use CF-702 instead. |
+| CF-304 | A heading gets more breathing room above than below. |
+| CF-305 | At phone widths, a full-width primary control stays roughly 16px inside the viewport. |
+| CF-306 | Prefer a parent `gap` to per-child margins for a repeated rhythm; review the exception. |
+
+## Surfaces and motion
+
+| Rule | Working decision |
+| --- | --- |
+| CF-401 | For a rounded child that traces its parent's content box, compare each corner with outer radius minus padding; allow the rule register's tolerance. Skip icon-sized children and heavily padded parents. |
+| CF-402 | A border plus a near-zero-blur edge shadow redraws the same edge. A soft ambient shadow is acceptable. |
+| CF-403 | A hard offset shadow needs a recorded visual register; otherwise flag it for review. |
+| CF-404 | A primary action should not carry a chromatic, large-blur halo. Parse blur, colour and offset rather than banning all shadows. |
+| CF-405 | Photo outlines should be thin and low saturation, not a loud accent border. |
+| CF-406 | Modal scrims use a solid or near-solid veil, not backdrop blur by reflex. |
+| CF-407 | Grids, radial halos, marquees and stripe pseudo-elements are reviewer cues unless tied to content. |
+| CF-501 | Keep the named motion set: enter 420ms `(0.16,1,0.3,1)`, UI 180ms `(0.2,0.8,0.2,1)`, exit 160ms `(0.4,0,1,1)`. Compare durations within 10ms and curve points within 5%. |
+| CF-502 | Press feedback is about scale .96 over 150ms, ease-out; never shrink below .95. With no scriptable pressed state, record `not_verified`. |
+| CF-503 | Entrances start at scale .95 or above. A confirmed running violation is MEDIUM; a declared but unused keyframe is LOW. This rule never raises HIGH. |
+| CF-504 | Exit is shorter than its paired entrance and reverses its path. |
+| CF-505 | Routine feedback has no spring overshoot. Inspect curve points outside about -.1…1.1 or bounce/elastic names. |
+| CF-506 | Frequently repeated list/row interactions stay at 150ms or less, or instant; do not classify a small toolbar merely by item count. |
+| CF-507 | `will-change` may name only transform, opacity or filter, and only while an effect runs. A stale hint at rest is a medium finding. |
+| CF-508 | Continuous motion uses transform/opacity rather than width, height, margin or padding. |
+| CF-509 | Reduced motion preserves reachable controls and states; a disabled animation must not strand content. |
+| CF-510 | Replay entrances and feedback slowly before sign-off; write down what reads wrong. This is a review task, not a machine threshold. |
+
+## Icons, targets and words
+
+| Rule | Working decision |
+| --- | --- |
+| CF-601 | Keep one icon grid and coherent stroke family; a second unrelated set requires review. |
+| CF-602 | Render icons around 1–1.25× adjacent cap height, with a 16px minimum. |
+| CF-603 | Icon-only controls need a discoverable name; a destructive control also needs visible wording. |
+| CF-604 | Check optical alignment by eye; equal bounding boxes can still look off. |
+| CF-701 | Under 24×24px is HIGH absent the WCAG 2.5.8 spacing exception. At viewport widths up to 768px, 24–43px is MEDIUM, or HIGH for the primary action. Inline prose links have their own exception. |
+| CF-702 | Neighbouring hit regions clear 8px on coarse pointers or 4px on fine pointers. |
+| CF-703 | Destructive actions stay at least 44×44px on every pointer class. |
+| CF-704 | Hover/drag-only behavior needs a keyboard or tap route; if neither route can be exercised, report `not_verified`, never an invented failure or pass. |
+| CF-801 | Lead action labels with a plain verb. |
+| CF-802 | Match tone to stakes: warm for welcome, neutral for routine, calm for error, serious for loss/security. |
+| CF-803 | Errors identify the event and a recovery action, not only a generic refusal. |
+| CF-804 | Keep one capitalization policy across labels, with named exceptions. |
+| CF-805 | A toggle label names the state when it is on. |
+| CF-806 | A placeholder is an example, not the field's only label. |
+| CF-807 | Placeholder text meets the same small-text contrast floor. |
+
+## RS matrix and handoff
+
+RS-001 requires light-mode passes at 320, 390, 768 and 1440px. RS-002 adds a 390px dark pass; RS-003 adds a 390px reduced-motion pass. RS-004 is a 720×450 CSS-viewport approximation of 1440px at 200% zoom, reported explicitly as such. The driver records each pass and screenshots. A missing required pass exits 2 with `BLOCKED: matrix incomplete`, unless a measured or derived HIGH has already set exit 1.
+
+| Rule | Working decision |
+| --- | --- |
+| RS-005 | Breakpoints follow content failure widths. A familiar framework value is only a review cue. |
+| RS-006 | Check document scroll width at every state; the tolerance lives in `probe-thresholds.json` so the measurement contract can be corrected in one place. |
+| RS-007 | Exclude accessibility-hidden text and declared truncation. Detect clipped primary copy as HIGH and overlapping secondary copy as MEDIUM. |
+| RS-008 | Text entry controls are at least 16px on touch phone widths. |
+| RS-009 | An edge-fixed control accounts for safe-area insets; inspect the declaration or mark it unverified. |
+| RS-010 | A horizontal rail shows 16–32px of its next item. |
+| RS-011 | Run RTL mirroring only if content or locale needs it, then inspect logical properties. |
+| RS-012 | Re-sample a claimed pass in a second width or state before calling it stable. |
+
+The output row order is `Severity | Rule | Where | Measured | Fix`. Every entry carries its rule id, actual value, threshold, viewport, selector and Measured/Derived tier. Judgment belongs in the reviewer table as Inferred. Remaining HIGH findings block the completion claim unless the user-facing result states the specific limitation and its reason.

+# Motion guide for frontend work
+
+This guide turns motion into a small, testable part of the interface. Start with one sentence naming the page, target components, and out-of-scope areas; follow it with labeled sections in implementation order. Specify the stack, visual tokens, layers, timing, viewport behavior, reduced-motion behavior, assets, and performance limits before describing a page. Name exact files or components so the implementation does not invent unrelated sections. A page brief may name component families such as hero, pricing, footer, or dashboard before detailing the chosen one.
+
+All values below are starting defaults. Keep the page calm when motion does not explain hierarchy, state, or cause and effect.
+
+## 1. Stack, tokens, and composition
+
+**Do:** Name the framework, styling system, animation package, icon set, and their tested version pins. Define colors, spacing, font family, numeric weights, and breakpoints as reusable tokens. Use a distinct mobile navigation component when the desktop layout no longer fits. Assign a short z-index map before adding overlays.
+
+**Don't:** ask for a “modern animated site” without stating the stack, scope, or interaction. Don't leave the package versions open-ended when the work depends on an animation API.
+
+```text
+Stack: [framework + pinned version], [styling + pinned version], [motion + pinned version].
+Scope: [named components only].
+Layers: background 0; page content 10; navigation 30; modal 50.
+Breakpoints: mobile [value], medium [value], wide [value].
+```
+
+**Do:** Give fluid display type a `clamp()` range, numeric weight, and tight but readable line-height. State how fonts load and name a system fallback. Pair a large heading with a restrained content width. Set colors with tokens; use `rgba()` when alpha matters on translucent surfaces, and choose a tinted near-black base when the design calls for a dark canvas. A blend mode may shape a heading or light treatment when its contrast is checked against the final background.
+
+**Don't:** use “large,” “glass,” or “dark” as the only specification. Don't add a blur, gradient, or blend mode without deciding which layer it affects and how text remains legible.
+
+**Do:** Put reusable visual primitives in one place and refer to them by name. Let a background gradient end at the page's base color so a scroll does not reveal a hard seam. State spacing at mobile, medium, and wide breakpoints in one consistent vocabulary, for example `16 / 24 / 32 px` in the order mobile / medium / wide. Keep one breakpoint vocabulary throughout the brief.
+
+**Don't:** duplicate slightly different blur or spacing values across components, or let a fixed media layer cover focus rings and text.
+
+## 2. Timing and viewport choreography
+
+Use named curves so a later editor can change the motion family without hunting through components:
+
+| Name | Curve | Default duration | Use |
+|---|---|---:|---|
+| `enter` | `cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1)` | 420 ms | A short entrance that settles cleanly |
+| `ui` | `cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.8, 0.2, 1)` | 180 ms | Hover, focus, and state feedback |
+| `exit` | `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 1, 1)` | 160 ms | Dismissal or removal |
+
+**Do:** pair every duration with one named curve. Keep ordinary controls below 400 ms. Give an entrance and an exit different intent. Keep the hover feedback shorter than the compositional reveal.
+
+**Don't:** use a duration with the browser's unspecified default curve, or put an elastic bounce on routine navigation.
+
+**Do:** Trigger a reveal when at least 15% of its section enters view, with a bottom root margin of 10%. Trigger once per section; make the content visible if observation is unavailable. For a scroll-linked effect, define a progress interval and its output range, then use one dominant movement in the hero.
+
+When a brief explicitly requests scroll-driven choreography, implement a visible page-state change triggered by scrolling. Verify the change at multiple scroll positions across distinct content sections. A one-time entrance reveal does not satisfy a scroll-choreography requirement; keep the final content readable without motion and verify the reduced-motion state.
+
+**Don't:** animate every section continuously, make multiple parallax layers compete, or hide content until the observer fires.
+
+**Do:** Stagger a small group by 60 ms per item and cap the sequence at 300 ms. Express it as a base delay plus `itemIndex × 60 ms`, so every item's timing is inspectable. Keep each group short enough that the first item is still relevant when the last appears. A menu may use a separate overlay and a brief item sequence.
+
+**Don't:** delay each item by a large fixed pause, stagger a long article line by line, or make users wait for the page to become readable.
+
+## 3. Motion and resource budgets
+
+**Do:** Give each section one entrance sequence and no more than two simultaneously moving elements. Give the hero one principal scroll or entrance effect and one animated headline. Keep controls responsive while decorative motion runs.
+
+**Don't:** animate the headline, background, cards, icons, and navigation at once. Remove any motion whose absence does not change comprehension or feedback.
+
+**Do:** Animate `transform` and `opacity` for routine movement. Target a frame callback below 4 ms so the page has room for layout, paint, and input work within a 60 Hz frame. Check for dropped frames on a mid-range device.
+
+**Don't:** animate `top`, `left`, `width`, or `height` on every frame, or assume a desktop GPU represents a phone.
+
+**Do:** Keep the first view within a stated transfer budget. As a default, limit initial motion media to 1 MB compressed and a video poster to 150 KB. Lazy-load below-the-fold media; size images for their rendered slot; split optional motion code from the initial route.
+
+**Don't:** fetch a large background video before the user sees the page, ship multiple full-resolution images for a small card, or treat a CDN as a performance plan.
+
+**Do:** Provide a real poster frame for every background video. On small screens or when the browser signals data saving, use the poster or a still image and skip video download and autoplay. Keep the same message and contrast in the fallback.
+
+**Don't:** make a video the only source of information or start a large media request on a metered connection.
+
+**Do:** Treat a sticky background video as its own positioned layer with a separately sized overlay; state the overlay's coverage, such as the lower 40% of the frame. Group its playback requirements together: autoplay where allowed, muted, looping, and inline playback. Point to an approved project asset or media source by its existing name. If none exists, ask for a real asset or specify a designed still; do not leave a fake URL in the brief.
+
+**Don't:** bury a media source in an arbitrary CSS background, or let a video layer intercept text selection and focus.
+
+## 4. Accessibility and input modes
+
+**Do:** Honor `prefers-reduced-motion`. Show the final content state immediately, remove parallax and tilt, and reduce nonessential transitions. Keep focus movement, visible focus, keyboard operation, and meaningful image text independent of animation.
+
+**Don't:** use motion as the only way to reveal a label, indicate success, or make a control reachable.
+
+```css
+@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
+  .motion-enter,
+  .motion-scroll,
+  .motion-tilt {
+    animation: none;
+    transition-duration: 0.01ms;
+    transform: none;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Do:** Restrict pointer tilt to fine-pointer devices. Clamp rotation to ±4 degrees, reset on pointer exit, and leave touch input alone. Compose the tilt with other transforms instead of overwriting them.
+
+**Don't:** request device orientation, require a hover to expose content, or let a pointer effect move text away from its focus target.
+
+Give cursor tracking its own interaction scope and budget. For a 3D scene or carousel, name the component and supported input before specifying its movement; check it under a separate frame and device budget because it can cost more than a small CSS transition.
+
+## 5. One headline and a deliberate pace
+
+**Do:** Choose one headline for a restrained reveal. Keep its full text in the accessibility tree and make it readable before an animation library loads. Give the rest of the page stable text and a clear reading order.
+
+**Don't:** animate every character, repeat the same reveal on every section title, or split a short heading into a long sequence.
+
+**Do:** Let the page open with its primary point, settle while the reader scans, use one reveal for a meaningful section change, then let the call to action rest. Test the complete path with motion enabled, with reduced motion, and with media unavailable.
+
+**Don't:** put a continuous moving background behind dense copy, make the final action compete with a transition, or use a repeated animation to fill an otherwise empty section.
+
+## 6. Interaction details and implementation order
+
+**Do:** Specify hover, focus, pressed, disabled, and open states independently. Give icon swaps their own rotation angle and short duration. Keep a mobile menu's overlay opacity and blur distinct from desktop navigation. Size proof cards and other evidence blocks for the amount of text they actually carry; for example, set an 18–22 rem width range and let height follow content.
+
+**Don't:** treat a hover state as keyboard feedback or reuse the same opacity and blur values for every surface.
+
+**Do:** Organize labeled sections in dependency order: stack and tokens, page structure, media and fallbacks, navigation, content, interactions, dependencies, then build configuration. State responsive spacing and padding at mobile, medium, and wide sizes together. Treat an early render as a draft; refine it against the scope and device targets.
+
+**Don't:** let the visual scroll order dictate dependency order, add unrelated sections, or leave library versions unspecified after the design relies on a particular API.
+
+## Review checklist
+
+- Are the stack, scope, breakpoints, font loading, tokens, and layer order explicit?
+- Does each motion have a named curve, duration, trigger, and reduced-motion result?
+- Does each section stay within its motion budget, with one dominant hero effect?
+- Are media poster, mobile/data-saving fallback, lazy loading, and transfer budget specified?
+- Are focus, keyboard use, contrast, and nonanimated content complete?
+- Are package versions pinned, and does the page remain readable when motion or media is unavailable?

-The default is an original editorial/pixel composition: large headlines with intentional line breaks, small terminal labels, generous section gaps, fine rules, atmospheric color fields and asymmetric focal placement.

Never name or imitate a reference brand, copy its prose or acquire its proprietary fonts/assets. Existing brand constraints override these defaults.

-Use the JSON profile as a starting point, then fit actual content. At 320px switch columns to deliberate stacked reading order; never hide a clipped title to pass overflow checks. Korean headings need additional leading. Body text and install instructions remain selectable. Include empty, loading, validation, error, recovery and success states when the interaction needs them. A class setting display can override the hidden attribute: use `.empty[hidden]{display:none}` and inspect the action that replaces the empty state. Respect reduced motion and keep focus visible.
+Fit the visual profile to the job. Put the information and actions the user came for within easy reach; a large slogan or decorative illustration must not push them out of view.

+Fit the JSON profile to real content. At 320px stack columns without hiding clipped text; give Korean headings extra leading and keep body/install text selectable. Implement the applicable empty, loading, validation, error, recovery, and success states. Check hidden-state transitions (`.empty[hidden]{display:none}`), reduced motion, visible focus, and JavaScript scrolling. A primary action must perform its operation and persist when promised; messages must follow real state. Preserve requested sections and use original grid-aligned pixel art, not emoji substitutes.
 
 Before coding, record a finite inventory and compact direction. Create/evolve the existing beta2 design contract while implementing; validate before acceptance. After a changed answer, keep the old rationale in task notes and revise affected inventory/tokens/criteria. Freeze only the revision used for a particular evidence comparison; subsequent revisions require new evidence, not an approval ritual.
 
+Resolve material ambiguity one consequential choice at a time and retain each answer. A bounded brief with no competing direction can use the existing editorial pixel profile in `default-editorial-pixel.json`. Action intent alone does not delegate a material design choice; a completed choice does not need another approval. A complete schema is not a prerequisite to begin a sufficiently specified build.
+
 Render the actual implementation, exercise its main action and keyboard recovery, inspect 320/390/1440px, and retain captures. A passing contract validator proves the shape of the contract only. Missing driver/auth/renderer blocks that claim while independent source work continues. Keep source completion, local render and independent review distinct.
+
+Select a mode from the user's interface request. `build` authors the screen and runs the final probe; `polish` runs a baseline probe, changes only values behind a finding, and probes again without restructuring; `audit` runs the probe and reports without source edits; `harden` checks only applicable content-length, content-shape, quantity, container, state and environment axes, naming each omitted axis and reason. See `craft-floor.md` and `slop-register.md` for the numbered checks. Run `scripts/probe.mjs` on the actual built entry through `browser-drive`'s agent-browser path, with 320/390/768/1440 light, 390 dark, 390 reduced-motion and the named viewport-halved zoom emulation. Preserve screenshots, `probe.json` and `review.md`. A static fallback leaves rendered rules `not_verified` and exits BLOCKED.
+
+For authorized edits, build → probe → choose the cheaper fix (delete, platform, reuse, correct, add) → probe again, for at most three fix rounds; always run a final pass. Measure before describing a value. A machine finding is Measured or Derived; a review judgment is Inferred. Never describe Inferred as measured. Remaining HIGH findings block completion unless the reply states the exact limitation and why it remains. In a diff review, inspect removed focus styles, accessible names, semantic controls, motion guards and error copy before judging the additions. Review-only requests never trigger a fix.
+Implement working actions rather than success labels, keyboard and visible focus behavior, loading/empty/error/recovery states, Korean and Latin readability, sufficient contrast, and reduced motion. Inspect hidden-state toggles in the browser. Tests and markup do not prove visual quality; keep the local capture separate from an independent `visual-qa` verdict.

+Run the deterministic probe before making a holistic judgment. A visible signature is evidence of that signature, not proof that a whole page is generic. DET rows may become a finding; DET-assist rows still need a reviewer. JUDG rows are prompts for a reasoned decision and enter the review as Inferred. `scripts/probe-thresholds.json` owns machine thresholds and severities. If a rule is absent from the probe's findings and cannot be checked, name it in `not_verified`.
