--- name: museum-generator-2026-07-21-implementation description: "Session that implemented the Records Office Dark redesign in museum/generate.mjs: identity, lobby, growth, Intent vs Reality, Bug Museum — 5 commits, what was corrected, what's left undone" metadata: node_type: memory type: project originSessionId: e58cbe31-e575-4bcd-9171-ab75abb5afbd modified: 2026-07-21T18:05:32.312Z --- 2026-07-21, five local-only commits (efe9827…4d0cac3), no push (repo rule: this archive never pushes anywhere). Implemented the owner-approved Records Office Dark redesign directly in `museum/generate.mjs` — previously only mockups existed under `museum/design/`; nothing in the actual generator had been touched. See [[museum-identity-pass]] and [[bug-museum-data-layer]] for the design/data-layer history this built on. **What shipped, in commit order:** 1. Self-contained dark CSS + `shell()` rewrite — dropped the app-CSS reuse and the `.machine/.bezel/.navkey/.glass-frame/.crt-overlay` chassis entirely. Fixed `classify()` so `bugs/` stops false-alarming as unclassified. 2. Lobby rewritten as the vault ledger (real stat cards, growth sparkline, floor-per-room with a real SHIPPED/IN-FLIGHT check against release tags, condition report). 3. Growth page rewritten as the strip-chart tape — added a real new series (`collectDailyCommits()`, zero-filled) that didn't exist before. 4. Intent vs Reality added new — flip+plaque only (not all 3 mockup variants), curated pairs in `museum/accounts/intent-pairs.json`. 5. Bug Museum added new — see [[bug-museum-data-layer]] for the wiring detail. **Corrections/deviations from the brief, stated up front per its own request:** - `git merge-base --is-ancestor` against the PIN, not `git tag --contains` (the brief's own suggested check) — tag-contains would check any tag anywhere, not specifically the release this museum is disciplined to describe; consistency with the existing pin invariant overrides literal compliance. - NAV/tabs extended to 10 stops (added BUGS, INTENT) — none of the identity- pass mockups wired a shared tab bar including these two views since each mockup demonstrates one view in isolation; a real site can't strand a reader on an unreachable page. - Intent vs Reality ships ONLY the recommended flip+plaque mechanism, not the wipe/side-by-side variants the mockup used to justify the choice — a real exhibit shows its answer, not the bake-off. **Left deliberately undone, flagged rather than silently shipped:** - Intent vs Reality's "reality" captures are still the pre-existing WORKING-TREE screenshots under `museum/design/2026-07-visual-pass/assets/`, not pinned to the release tag. Building the real pipeline (boot the app, navigate to a specific panel, screenshot via the existing Playwright rig) is materially larger than this pass — the page renders an explicit "REALITY CAPTURES — NOT RELEASE-PINNED" notice instead of quietly presenting them as pinned. This gap was already flagged by the prior visual-pass session and is still open. - Bug Museum's release coverage note and IN-FLIGHT→SEALED promotion have only ever been exercised against the CURRENT pin (v2.8.0, 2.8.5 untagged) — correct behavior seen is "promotion doesn't fire yet", which is the honest state, but the promotion-fires path itself has not been observed against a real tag (would need `v2.8.5` to exist to see it). **Verification performed:** Playwright renders at 360/412px for all 4 views plus a spot-check of unmodified pages (room, standing, graveyard, search, docs); contrast recomputed per new color pair throughout (all ≥4.5:1 AA); regenerated twice back-to-back (byte-identical); bare-clone → fresh-clone regeneration against the real app repo (byte-identical to the working tree's committed site) — the exact double-fresh-clone check this project's own invariants call for, done via `git clone --bare` + `git clone` + `MUSEUM_APP_REPO` test seam.
