1.7.1

Added

• A capture protocol in the design-fidelity rubric takes every screenshot with animations frozen and reduced motion, after fonts load and the page is foregrounded and settled (not network idle), at 2x scale, full page and per breakpoint, with dynamic regions masked.
• A "read before you score" analysis protocol (rubric section 2.0) has the gate describe each region, run a breakage-signature checklist, cross-reference the accessibility snapshot against the screenshot for unpainted DOM elements, require cited evidence for a PASS, and zoom into suspicious regions.
• A recommended-session note in the README and mission-control's per-model section recommends running Flight Deck on Opus 4.8 at High reasoning effort by default, with xHigh reserved for the hardest lots.

Changed

• design-fidelity gate moves 2 and 3 now point at the new capture and reading protocols; the adversarial re-check re-runs the breakage checklist and the DOM-versus-pixel cross-check.
