<li><strong><code>/impeccable craft</code> now treats approved mocks as visual contracts.</strong> The craft flow requires a mock fidelity inventory before build, maps major visible ingredients to code or assets, and flags missing hero objects, imagery, section structure, nav/CTA treatment, and distinctive motifs as blocking defects unless the user accepted the deviation.</li>

<li><strong>Image-led brand surfaces can no longer degrade into abstract panels.</strong> Travel, editorial, portfolio, venue, product showcase, entertainment, and education work now requires credible imagery, generated plates, illustrations, maps, renders, or destination scenes when the approved mock or subject matter calls for them.</li>

<li><strong><code>/impeccable craft</code> and <code>/impeccable shape</code> hardened against autonomous agents.</strong> Codex-class harnesses had started writing files before the user confirmed a design brief, treating their own summary as the brief. Setup now ships a preflight checklist (context, product, command reference, shape, image gate, mutation), and craft enforces an explicit build gate: <code>shape=pass</code> only counts when the user separately approves the brief or supplies a pre-confirmed one. Self-authored briefs and "the implementation will be semantic anyway" no longer skip the visual probe.</li>
