The Ship Loop

The verify-and-ship procedure every round of work on apps/redesign runs before it lands. Nothing ships on faith: the auditor, the type checker, the camera, and the mirror build all get a vote.

0. Ground rules

• The dev server runs at http://localhost:3006.
• A concurrent session may be editing the same worktree. Check git status before staging; commit only your own files. Expect the other session to absorb your changes into its commits — when that happens, verify by content, not by diff, and push the backup branch from HEAD.
• pnpm lint:all may be red on files you don't own; ship anyway when your own diff is clean under the checks below.

1. The line audit

node scripts/lint-lines.mjs http://localhost:3006/<page> --theme light
node scripts/lint-lines.mjs http://localhost:3006/<page> --theme dark

• Audits at 1440 and 1280; expects zero findings in all four classes (doubles, missing, selfStacks, invisibles) in both themes.
• The standing battery: /, /craft, and the three singularity homes (dossier, orbit, signal) — plus every page the round touched.
• Deliberate devices live on the ALLOW list inside the script; add an owner there only for a sanctioned device, never to silence a real double.
• The auditor reconstructs lines from computed CSS — it cannot see SVG strokes. Figures get verified by eye with 2× pixel crops of junctions.

2. The practices ratchet

scripts/lint-practices.mjs counts button types, bare effects, any-types, raw hex in TS/TSX ('#xxxxxx'-quoted — unquoted hex inside template CSS snippets doesn't count), and !important. It refuses anything that adds to lint-practices.baseline.json. When files are deleted, prune their baseline entries in the same commit.

3. Types

pnpm exec tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit

4. Film it

Screenshot every changed visual with the external harness (the in-app browser pane pauses rAF — shader canvases come out blank):

• Driver: playwright-core from scripts/node_modules, launched against the Chrome for Testing binary.
• Dark shots: seed localStorage['gt-theme'] = 'dark' in an init script.
• Zoom junctions at deviceScaleFactor: 2+ and crop — full-page shots hide 1px defects.
• Scroll through the page first so IntersectionObserver-armed plates mount; wait out arm delays before shooting animated engines.

5. Commit and back up

• Commit only your files; Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>.
• Push a NEW backup branch each round from HEAD: redesign/diagram-standard-v1<next-letter>.

6. Mirror to Prototemplate

rsync -a --delete --exclude '/app/review' src/ ~/repos/Prototemplate/src/
rsync -a --delete public/ ~/repos/Prototemplate/public/
rsync -a BRAND.md DESIGN.md ARCHITECTURE.md README.md docs/ ~/repos/Prototemplate/  # docs ride along
cd ~/repos/Prototemplate
pnpm build > /tmp/proto-build.log 2>&1; echo $?   # capture the REAL exit code

• The build must exit 0; cmd | tail reports tail's exit, so capture as above. A flaky exit-1 with a clean log warrants one re-run before diagnosing.
• Sanity-grep the route manifest for pages you added or deleted.
• Commit and push Prototemplate main ("push to main" always means this repo).
