Two pages by Hallmark for two different briefs should not share the same hero → 3-feature → CTA → footer rhythm.

An italicised emphasis word inside an otherwise-upright heading (`Built to <em>think</em>`) is one of the most reliable AI tells; so is an all-italic display face on headings. Carry emphasis with weight, accent colour, or a drawn underline. Italic survives only as *body-copy* emphasis inside running paragraphs.

This build: <Y>, because <reason>."* The failure mode this prevents: reaching for the genre *default* on every build, so eight builds ship two navs. A theme with four test builds must show four different navs (e.g. Hum across Curio/Sprout/Tally/Mixtape: N5 → N1b → N12 → N13). Rotate deliberately through the routing table's "Acceptable also" column. The nav and footer picks are recorded in the macrostructure stamp at Step 6.

36
+ *JS:* hover opens (with a ~140ms close-grace timer so the pointer can travel into the panel), click toggles, Esc closes, only one panel open at a time, scrim + `aria-expanded` follow state.
37

38
+ **Knobs** — *Columns:* 2 · 3 · 4 · *Feature cell:* none · promo card · code sample · *Scrim:* dim+blur (default) · dim only · none · *Open on:* hover+click (default) · click only.
39
+ *Anti-pattern:* never more than ~4 columns; never a panel taller than ~60vh; never open on hover with no close-grace timer (the menu flickers when the pointer crosses the gap). Items must carry a one-line description — a bare link grid is just N1b in disguise.
40
+ *Mobile:* collapse the whole thing to a drawer; the columns stack as accordion groups.
