The pale four-point star bottom-right in seven project covers and four blog
heroes is the image generator's watermark, not house style. Scrubbed via
delogo and verified numerically (peak luminance in the mark's box drops from
~100-255 to under 30 in every file); thumbnails regenerated from the cleaned
masters. The cover prompt file wrongly described the mark as part of the house
look and asked new generations to include one - corrected, with a reject-list
entry naming the mark and its usual position.
Adds mirror-registry as a featured project (order 26, beside The Exploded
Cluster) covering the zot deployment, the bootstrap and auth circular
dependencies, and the retention/revalidation behaviours that corrected the
first published write-up. Adds the cover: field to exploded-cluster (it had
none, so the card rendered imageless) and stages public/covers/image.md with
the generation prompts and processing steps for both covers.
The inline SVG thumbs were placeholder-grade next to real art. Cards now use
a 640px mini of the same cover (9-22KB), object-fit cover with a slow hover
zoom, and a corner scrim so the DOSSIER tag stays legible over the brighter
frames. Falls back to the sketch for any project without a cover.
Six generated covers wired in via an optional cover key - 2528x1696 sources
optimised to 1600px webp, 49-144KB each. They sit on the page background
rather than the diagrams' light card, since the art is already generated in
the site palette on near-black. Cover carries the story at a glance, the
diagram still carries the architecture below it.
