Every chart carries a title, axis labels, units, and value labels in the report's language; a bare number the reader cannot name is a defect.

+Asset workers (background, parallel, each fed `design-spec.md`) — visuals are the DEFAULT deliverable of this phase, not garnish the user must ask for; a delivered report without figures is an incomplete run:
 
 - **Charts for every quantitative finding, computed from real data.** Pull the numbers into an actual table first (CSV/JSON under `$SESSION_DIR`), then plot from that table, never from prose. Follow the data-scientist tool doctrine — numpy always, Polars for filtering/sorting/transforms, DuckDB for joins/aggregations/window functions, never pandas — and load the `data-scientist` skill when this session has it: `uv run --with numpy --with polars --with duckdb --with pyarrow --with matplotlib python`. Keep `pyarrow` in that set — the DuckDB-to-Polars handoff (`.pl()`) fails without it, and `.df()` fails without pandas, so hand data across through `.pl()`, never `.df()`. Save to `$SESSION_DIR/assets/`.
-- **Mermaid graphs** for process, architecture, argument, timeline, and evidence-flow structure. Render each to SVG and confirm the file exists before the document references it.
-- **Generated visuals** through the imagegen skill when a diagram, cover, or narrative visual earns its place.
+- **Mermaid graphs** for process, architecture, argument, timeline, and evidence-flow structure, themed to the spec's fonts and palette. Render each to SVG and confirm the file exists before the document references it.
+- **Generated visuals through the imagegen skill whenever the session has it:** a cover plus a concept illustration per major theme, prompted from the spec's style, palette, and mood — document-styled illustration, never generic stock art dropped into a designed page.
 - **Full-page screenshots** of the top 5-10 sources (browsing worker) as provenance you can show.
 
 **Verify the asset manifest before rendering.** List every asset the document references, assert each file exists and is non-empty on disk, and re-render whatever is missing. A document that renders with three broken diagrams is a document you will publish twice.
 
-Assembly worker — `task(category="deep", load_skills=["frontend", "visual-qa", "open-design", "data-scientist", "imagegen", "ulw-loop"], run_in_background=true, ...)`: before writing, read every available design and visualization skill and apply it — the report is a designed artifact, not a text dump. Use the template the user approved; absent a stronger house style the default skeleton is executive summary → key findings by theme → detailed analysis (quotes under 20 words with attribution, charts, Mermaid graphs, generated visuals, SHA-pinned permalinks, verification results) → comparative analysis when options compete → numbered sources with access dates → methodology appendix (workers, waves, searches, verifications, debate rounds) → correction log naming what verification overturned. Write it long and specific: every claim cites `[Source N]`, and the sources section lists every source the run actually used rather than a curated few.

 ### The delivery gates — every gate must PASS, in order
 
 Nothing reaches the user until the gates pass:
 
-1. **Visual QA (always).** Render the produced artifact back to images — PDF pages to PNG, the HTML in a real browser — and look at them: missing or broken figures, clipped tables, overflowing CJK text, blank pages, unreadable chart labels, wrong page breaks. Fix and re-render until the pages are clean. Reading the source markup is not visual QA; inspect the pixels.
+1. **Visual QA (always).** Render the produced artifact back to images — PDF pages to PNG, the HTML in a real browser — and look at them: missing or broken figures, images stretched or spilling their containers, diagram or chart text rendered off the spec's font or palette, clipped tables, overflowing CJK text, blank pages, unlabeled chart values, wrong page breaks. Fix and re-render until the pages are clean. Reading the source markup is not visual QA; inspect the pixels.
 2. **Proofread gate — `task(category="writing", ...)`.** Hand the final text to a dedicated `writing` worker whose only job is language: grammar, spelling, punctuation, terminology consistency, and whether the prose reads NATIVELY in the report's own language. It returns a defect list; fix every item and re-run the gate on the delta. Deliver only on a clean pass — this gate runs BEFORE the first delivery, not after the user finds the typo.
 
 Then deliver: the artifact plus a compact chat-readable summary of what it says — the answer in a few sentences, the numbers that matter, and what to look at first. The document is the deliverable; the summary is what gets it read.
