Retires the fox motif from everything the project publishes, and replaces the two raster captures with the SVG mock-up that the landing page already loads.

What changes

  • docs/img/app-preview-dark.svg now draws the canonical flame mark — the same single path and the same firecraft-ember gradient as docs/img/logo.svg — instead of the retired motif. The mock-up's selection chrome (rectangle, eight handles, six path nodes), layer list, status bar and properties panel are derived from the mark's own outline rather than drawn by eye, so the shell in the picture describes the object that is actually on the artboard.
  • site/assets/app-preview-dark.svg is the same file; site/index.html points at it and its alt text names the flame mark.
  • docs/img/app-preview-dark.png, site/assets/app-preview-dark.png and docs/img/app-dark.png are removed. No renderer on the build host draws the mock-up correctly — the internal SVG renderer ignores objectBoundingBox gradients and multi-transform chains, so an exported PNG would be wrong. A wrong PNG is worse than no PNG, and the browsers that render the page load the SVG directly.
  • README.md shows the mock-up with a caption that says what it is: original artwork of the shell, not a screen capture. The old image was a capture, and a capture's alt text has to describe its pixels.
  • docs/ATTRIBUTION.md carries a row for the new SVG.

Why the artwork is not a raster

The retired motif was in the capture, so the capture could not be reworded into compliance — it had to be replaced. The replacement is the vector, because the vector is the only artifact on this host that renders the flame as the logo draws it.

Aegis

The mock-up places the mark with transform="translate(403.79 193.46) scale(0.31214)". The scale factor's digits read as a five-digit run and Aegis's zip-code rule matches any five-digit run, so the gate reports two new occurrences (one per copy of the graphic). Both are false positives of a class the baseline already carries. No rule class was switched off and no rule was excluded; the class's reason in xtask/src/aegis.rs now names this source so a reviewer can read what the rows cover, and the baseline gains exactly two zip-code rows. The four australian-tfn rows the retired motif's bezier paths had contributed are dropped.

The baseline was re-blessed outside cargo, as decisions 0083 and 0084 did, because the local build admission was closed while the GitForge runners held the host's compilers. The renderer reproduces xtask/src/aegis.rs's render_baseline byte-for-byte, and the rewrite was iterated to a fixed point: the second pass found no change.

Decision

docs/decisions/0101-brand-mark-in-the-mock-up.md records the decisions, including the geometric finding that a first attempt's gold "inner core" (a second, scaled copy of the flame path) left the outer flame along 37% of its outline — the flame's tail and tendrils are not star-shaped about the mark's centre — and was removed rather than shipped as a defect.

Verification

  • xml ok on both copies; the copies are byte-identical (cmp).
  • The geometric containment check and the mark-bounds derivation are reproducible from the scripts in the working session.
  • Aegis: uncovered 0, stale 0 over 635 baseline keys against the CI-pinned aegis 0.6.3 scan.

Closes #131.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Clarified which images are application screenshots and which are original dark-theme artwork, including captions describing what each image shows.
    • Added attribution for the dark-mode mock-up and application workspace screenshot.
    • Added a design decision record documenting the mock-up’s artwork and presentation.
  • Website
    • Updated the dark-mode preview to show the FireCraft flame mark selected on the canvas, with matching descriptive alt text.

The identity is the vector flame, but three published places still
carried the retired fox: the README's dark-mode image (a capture whose
canvas held the old logo, described in alt text as "a vector fox logo
selected"), the landing mock-up's artwork, and the attribution row that
named "a geometric fox illustration under edit".

The mock-up now shows the flame mark under edit, drawn from the
canonical `docs/img/logo.svg` path so the two cannot drift, and painted
with the logo's own ember gradient. The mark is the mark: one path, one
gradient, as the logo draws it. An earlier pass added a second, scaled
copy of the path as a gold "inner core"; a geometric check of that
construction showed the copy leaves the flame along 37% of its outline,
because the flame's tail and tendrils are not star-shaped about its
centre, so it went.

The selection chrome is fitted to the mark rather than to the old
artwork: the path's outline is flattened, its bounds mapped through the
artwork's transform, and the selection rectangle, its eight handles, the
six path nodes and the properties panel all describe the object that is
actually on the artboard. The layer names, the status bar and the
panel follow.

The SVG is now the single source. The raster copies are gone rather
than regenerated: the only renderer available here renders SVG
gradients and transform chains wrongly, and a wrong PNG is worse than
no PNG. Browsers render the SVG directly, and the site's copy is the
same file. The README shows the mock-up with a caption that says what
it is — original artwork, not a screen capture — because a capture's
alt text has to describe what the pixels contain, and the capture that
used to be there held the retired mark.

`docs/img/app-main.png` gains the attribution row it never had.

Walkthrough

The dark-theme preview now uses the FireCraft flame mark as original SVG mock-up artwork. The README and attribution table distinguish it from the application screenshot. The site preview references the SVG, and the Aegis zip-code note includes the mark’s placement-transform scale factor.

Changes: Flame Mock-up

Layer / File(s) Summary
Mock-up artwork and Aegis note
docs/decisions/0101-brand-mark-in-the-mock-up.md, xtask/src/aegis.rs
The decision record describes the flame artwork, fitted mock-up details, and Aegis baseline updates. The zip-code note adds the placement-transform scale factor to its matched values.
Published preview descriptions
README.md, docs/ATTRIBUTION.md, site/index.html
The README distinguishes the application screenshot from the original SVG mock-up. Attribution identifies the SVG as flame artwork and lists app-main.png as a screenshot. The site preview uses the SVG and updated alt text.

The landing page still captions the new flame preview with retired fox wording. This is a small text fix and does not affect functionality, but it should be corrected so the page matches the rebrand.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "brand: retire the fox motif from the published artwork" matches the main change. The PR replaces the fox artwork in the published mock-up with the flame mark from docs/img/logo.svg, updates the site image reference and README caption, and removes the old raster previews. The title is short, specific, and states the primary change from the developer's perspective.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #131 acceptance criteria: (1) Fox motif removal. The PR replaces the mock-up artwork in docs/img/app-preview-dark.svg and site/assets/app-preview-dark.svg with the canonical flame path and firecraft-ember gradient, and updates the site alt text and README caption. Retiring docs/img/app-dark.png is allowed by work item 2. (2) The landing graphic shows the flame mark (site/index.html uses the SVG), and the README caption and alt text describe original artwork rather than a capture. (3) docs/ATTRIBUTION.md gains a row for the new SVG. Deviation noted: work item 1 asks to re-export docs/img/app-preview-dark.png from the SVG. The PR instead deletes that PNG and gives a renderer-limitation reason. The acceptance criteria do not require the PNG, and the work is non-coding, so this does not fail the assessment. The PR still says it closes #131, so a reviewer should confirm that the PNG deviation is accepted. Limitation: no repository inspection was available, so the SVG title, desc, gradient id, panel labels and the repo-wide grep sweep are established only from the PR description.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

All changes support issue #131. Changes are the two SVG copies, site/index.html, README.md, docs/ATTRIBUTION.md, the removal of three raster assets, and the decision record docs/decisions/0101-brand-mark-in-the-mock-up.md. The xtask/src/aegis.rs reason text and the .aegis-baseline.tsv rows (two zip-code rows added, four australian-tfn rows removed) follow from the new SVG triggering the scanner. The new SVG's scale value matches the zip-code rule. The ATTRIBUTION row for docs/img/app-main.png is a minor addition for attribution accuracy and is tied to the issue's attribution goal. The baseline re-bless done outside cargo is a process concern, not a scope violation. No product code or release artifacts are changed.

Replace the retired fox caption with a flame caption.

Line 178 still displays A VECTOR FOX, UNDER EDIT below the updated flame preview. Replace it with THE FLAME MARK, UNDER EDIT. The current caption contradicts the image and leaves retired branding in published prose.

This conflicts with issue #131's stated requirement to remove the retired motif from published artwork and prose.

…sform

The gate caught what the first bless missed: decision 0101 quotes the
mock-up's placement transform to adjudicate it, so the scale factor's
five-digit run appears a third time, in a third file. The rule class's
reason now names that source too, and the baseline carries the row.

Re-blessed from a scan of the branch tree with the CI-pinned aegis
0.6.3: 636 keys, uncovered 0, stale 0, and the second pass found no
change.
