+## [4.75.0] - 2026-06-26
+
+**Build UI from the finished design CODE, not from a re-interpreted screenshot.** A Claude Design mockup is not a picture — it is finished code (JSX + CSS + the project's own design tokens) authored against `src/ui/tokens.ts`. The pipeline was rendering that code to a PNG and reinterpreting the pixels, throwing away exact spacing, radii, motion, and breakpoints that were already written. v4.73/v4.74 made the implementer *load the image*; this release makes it **build from the source**. Verified live against a real `claude.ai/design` project via the `DesignSync` MCP: `get_file` returns readable `.jsx` components + `mayo-tokens.css` (the project's design system as code), not an encoded bundle.
+
+The channel matters: **DesignSync MCP handoff** (the user pastes the Claude Design handoff URL → `/prd` pulls the screen's `.jsx`/`.css`/tokens **read-only** via `list_files`+`get_file` and archives them under `mockups/_src/`) is the richest input; a **Download-as-.zip** export is the no-auth equivalent; the **Standalone HTML (offline)** export is an encoded self-rendering bundle and only a fallback (decoded by a new deterministic script). `ui-expert` then builds **reuse-first**: it maps the source's tokens/classes to the registry primitives (near-1:1, since the mockup speaks the project's token language) and copies structure/spacing/`@keyframes`/`@media` faithfully, introducing a genuinely-new component only via `/ds-new`. The fidelity is **proven** (a declaration gate + deterministic grounding) and **verified** (code-reviewer), not hoped for.
+
+**MINOR** — adds capability; **no new `baldart.config.yml` key** (rides on `features.has_design_system`), so the schema-change propagation rule does NOT apply. `links.design_src` is an OPTIONAL `links` sub-field (validator/matrix untouched). The `visual-fidelity-verifier` is deliberately UNCHANGED (giving it the mockup's declared styles would reintroduce the assertion-fitting bias it forbids — fidelity is enforced on the *input* side). Degrades to no-op for image-only mockups (PNG/Figma), for Codex (the archived `.jsx`/`.css` is plain text), and if Claude Design changes the bundle format. The DesignSync MCP auth (`/design-login`) is interactive → the pull happens at `/prd` time and the source is archived to disk so the autonomous `/new` run reads it without the MCP. `new2.js` unchanged (reads `implement.md` for the briefing semantics).
+
+### Added
+
+- **`extract-mockup-design.mjs` deterministic fallback extractor** (`framework/scripts/`) — decodes a Claude Design "Standalone HTML (offline)" bundle's `__bundler/template` blob into readable HTML+CSS under `mockups/_src/`. Form-dispatcher: offline-bundle → decode; already-readable `.jsx`/`.css` → copy; image/no-markup → `{status:"no-code"}`; any error → `{status:"skipped"}`, **always exit 0** (never aborts the PRD, per `canvas-intake-recipe.md:111`). Verified on a real offline export (decoded 121 KB HTML + 119 KB CSS with exact tokens).
+- **`links.design_src` card sub-field** (`framework/agents/card-schema.md`) — OPTIONAL on-disk path to the screen's archived design source; the fidelity source `ui-expert` builds from.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **`ui-expert` gains a "Design Reference — When the mockup is finished CODE" protocol** (`framework/.claude/agents/ui-expert.md`) — finished source ⇒ build from it (reuse-first + token-map, copy-faithful only for the genuinely new → `/ds-new`, honor exact `@keyframes`/`@media`); image-only ⇒ the established image-load behaviour.
+- **`/prd` intake pulls + archives the design source** (`framework/.claude/skills/prd/references/discovery-phase.md`) — new `claude-design-handoff` format detection + a read-only `DesignSync` `list_files`/`get_file` pull into `mockups/_src/` (1.6.4 step 1b); the bundle/ZIP path (1.6.4b step e) mirrors its `.jsx`/`.css` into `_src/` and sets `mockups.source_kind: claude-design-code`. The format prompt now recommends handoff/ZIP over offline-HTML. Component Reconciliation (`ui-design-phase.md`) builds `/ds-new`/`/ds-edit` from the source and sets `links.design_src`.
+- **`/new` briefing prefers the source code + a declaration-grounding gate** (`framework/.claude/skills/new/references/implement.md`) — the "Design Reference" section makes `links.design_src`/`mockups/_src/` the primary fidelity source (image = secondary cross-check); `ui-expert` must declare which source files it read, the symbols it reused, and the registry primitives it mapped to; a new orchestrator **Step 7b** grounds that declaration with `grep` against `mockups/_src/` + the registry and rejects a hollow one.
+- **`prd-card-writer` writes `links.design_src`** (`framework/.claude/agents/prd-card-writer.md`) when `mockups.source_kind: claude-design-code`.
+- **`code-reviewer` verifies design-source reuse** (`framework/.claude/agents/code-reviewer.md` rule 4b) — may read `mockups/_src/` (the assertion-fitting prohibition is the verifier's, not the reviewer's) and flags a diff that ignored the available source and redrew the screen from scratch (HIGH, routed to `ui-expert`).
+
+## [4.74.0] - 2026-06-25
+
+**Update in autonomy: a standing `git.on_divergence` policy so `npx baldart update` stops asking every release.** A consumer that keeps local commits on `.framework/` which the updater cannot auto-classify as overlays — the canonical case being a project-specific edit to a `framework/agents/*.md` **protocol module** (e.g. a design-system review rule naming the project's own files), which unlike `.claude/{agents,skills,commands}/` has **no overlay channel** — was stopped on EVERY update with "Custom commits touch non-overlayable paths … cannot be auto-resolved", forcing a manual `--on-divergence pull` each time. The non-interactive escape hatch existed only as a per-run CLI flag; there was no way to persist the choice. Now `git.on_divergence` in `baldart.config.yml` records a standing policy the interactive `update` honours, so a consumer opts in once and never passes the flag again. The `--on-divergence` CLI flag still wins for a single run, and the default (unset/null) preserves the current "stop once and ask" behaviour exactly.
+
+**MINOR** — adds capability via a new config key. The **schema-change propagation rule applies** and is satisfied end-to-end: template (`git.on_divergence`) + configure prompt + update detector (already diffs all `git.*` keys, so the new key auto-surfaces on existing configs) + the gating code in `update` + CHANGELOG. Backward compatible: an existing config without the key resolves to null → no policy → unchanged behaviour; a config typo fails loud up-front (validated against the same `DIVERGENCE_STRATEGIES` set as the flag).
+
+### Added
+
+- **`git.on_divergence` standing divergence policy** (`framework/templates/baldart.config.template.yml` § `git:`). Values: `null`/unset (DEFAULT — stop once and ask), `pull` (keep the local commits and merge upstream over them; non-destructive, the autonomy choice), `scaffold-overlays` (auto-scaffold the overlay-able subset, then stop). Read by `update` via a new `readDivergencePolicy()` helper; surfaced interactively (`Applying persisted divergence policy …`) so an auto-merge is never a surprise. The `configure` git section now prompts for it (`src/commands/configure.js`), writing the key explicitly (as null when unset) so the schema-drift detector does not re-offer it every release.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **`update` resolves the divergence strategy as flag-or-config** (`src/commands/update.js`). `--on-divergence` (explicit per-run override) wins; absent a flag, the resolver falls back to `git.on_divergence`. Up-front validation now reports the correct source (`--on-divergence` vs ``git.on_divergence`` in baldart.config.yml) on a typo. The stale-CLI self-relaunch needs no change — the newer child re-reads the same config and resolves the policy itself.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **`links.design` now resolves to a path that EXISTS — making the v4.73.0 image-load fire in the mockup-only case.** v4.73.0 made the `/new` implementer `Read` the mockup image when `links.design` is a `.png`, but the card field was still hardcoded to `design.html` (`framework/.claude/agents/prd-card-writer.md`, `framework/.claude/skills/prd/assets/card-template.yml`). In **mockup-only** runs — exactly the "I hand `/prd` Claude Design / Figma mockups" flow — no `design.html` is generated (`ui-design-phase.md` sets `design.html_path: n/a (mockup-only)`), so the card pointed at a **non-existent** file: the implementer got a dead path AND the image branch never fired (extension was `.html`). `prd-card-writer` now resolves `links.design` to an on-disk path — design.html when generated, ELSE the screen's canonical mockup PNG from `mockup_analysis.screens[].mockup_ref` / `prerender_png` under `mockups/` (chat-only `chat://image-N` images are never persisted, so such a card is flagged visually-unreferenced rather than pointed at a path that won't resolve). The `/new` briefing (`framework/.claude/skills/new/references/implement.md` § "Design Reference") also falls back to the sibling `mockups/` PNG when a legacy card's `.html` path is absent. No behaviour change for generated-design runs.
+
 ## [4.73.0] - 2026-06-25
 
 **Mockup→code fidelity: let the implementer actually SEE the mockup, and carry the intent a flat list loses.** A recurring complaint: a detailed mockup (Claude Design / Figma) is handed to `/prd`, then `/new` ships something that is not 1:1 with the design. The obvious diagnosis — "the PRD's visual mapping is too weak, add a mockup-understanding agent" — was **refuted** by an adversarial pass: the visual data largely already exists (`mockup_analysis` captures affordances + traceability + states + DS violations; `component_bindings` propagates region→component to the implementer), and a parallel machine-readable `design-spec` artifact would be a second SSOT that drifts from the mockup and would feed the verifier a textual proxy instead of the pixels (a bias `visual-fidelity-verifier` explicitly forbids). The **actual driver**: the `/new` UI briefing passes the mockup as a *path* and says "Read the design.html file" — but for a binary PNG/Figma mockup nothing ever instructs the (multimodal) `ui-expert` to **load the image into its context**. The implementer was building from text, never looking at the design.

+
+A design reference can arrive as a rendered **image** (PNG/Figma) OR as
+**finished code** — readable HTML/JSX/CSS, a handoff spec, or archived source
+under the PRD's `mockups/_src/` (a Claude Design export pulled at `/prd` time).

+failure:**

+- **Finished code present (e.g. `links.design_src` / `mockups/_src/*.jsx`,`*.css`):
+  that structure IS your starting point. `Read` it. Do NOT reinterpret the
+  graphics from pixels — the exact layout, nesting, class structure, spacing,
+  radii, shadows, type scale, states, `@media` breakpoints and `@keyframes`
+  motion are already written. Build FROM them. Specifically:**
+  1. **REUSE-FIRST.** For each region the source renders, find the registry
+     primitive that covers it (the cascade above decides *which* component) and
+     **reuse it**, mapping the source's token references (`--d-card-pad`,
+     `--space-lg`, `--color-primary`) to the project's registry tokens. A
+     Claude Design export authored against the project's own design tokens already
+     speaks your token language — the mapping is near 1:1, not a redesign.
+  2. **Copy-faithful only for the genuinely NEW.** Where the source introduces a
+     component the registry does not have, port its structure / spacing / motion
+     faithfully and materialize it via `/ds-new` (governance + serializer) — never
+     a one-off duplicate of an existing primitive.
+  3. **Honor exact `@keyframes` (motion) and `@media` (breakpoints)** from the
+     source CSS — a still image cannot show them, so they are the only fidelity
+     source for animation and responsive behaviour.
+  4. **You MUST declare what you read and reuse** (see the `/new` briefing's
+     mockup-source declaration): the files you `Read` from `mockups/_src/`, the
+     source symbols/classes you reuse, and the registry primitives you map them
+     to. The orchestrator grounds this declaration against the source on disk and
+     rejects a hollow one.
