Review gates and video from LangChain's open-source design agent, Content Studio (Apache-2.0), credited where they are used. Its idea is that the model makes the creative calls and code renders, measures and refuses.

  • New render-gate.mjs in web-design, web-graphics and launch. It renders a page, card or slide at each size as a fresh layout, then fails:

    • a brand face that silently fell back (Chrome reports which font actually painted each run);
    • supplied copy that changed, or a deliberate clamp that cuts required copy;
    • text clipped by its box or cropped by the canvas edge;
    • painted colours and faces outside the DESIGN.md tokens.

    Exit 2 means it could not check and is never a pass.

  • New film.mjs in launch. It renders an HTML composition to MP4 frame by frame: every CSS and Web Animations animation is paused and seeked, so a demo clip is code and every take is identical. It fails:

    • a black or flat opening;
    • a film where nothing moves;
    • clock-driven motion, found by re-seeking frames and comparing them;
    • the wrong size or duration;
    • failed fonts or requests.
  • New web-design review rubric:

    • three gates before scoring (accuracy, the deterministic gates, the ask);
    • six areas scored 1 to 5 with evidence;
    • a ship / fix / rework verdict;
    • a failure-pattern table.

    astack's independent verifier and launch use it for visual work.

  • launch builds share cards with render-gate.mjs and demo clips with film.mjs. A new film reference covers storyboard, animatic, motion, contact sheets and changelog clips from a pull request.

  • web-design anti-patterns gain a section for sets and assets: scaled instead of recomposed, template sameness, silent font fallback, faked weight.

  • New launch-assets comparison eval task. Scored blind: astack 19, baseline 17. Both fixed every planted problem; astack's clip re-rendered bit-identically and its cards stayed on tokens.

  • shoot.mjs, render-gate.mjs and film.mjs now stop Chrome's helper processes along with the browser, so the temporary profile is removed cleanly on Linux instead of failing the run.
