The README gets a hero frame. No engine, CLI or GUI behaviour changes — the binaries are
1.2.6's, rebuilt so every archive carries the current file.

The frame

One pair, light and dark, swapped by the reader's theme: the Explorer with the built-in demo
CookBook open — a layer tree beside a card reading 2 recipes · 12 layers · 31 variants ·
615,600 unique DNA. It is the README's own thesis stated as a picture.

Shot from the running app with tools/docs-capture, not from the VisualCapture harness,
whose 8×8 fixtures render empty panels and quote "2 unique DNA".

It lives in assets/readme/, deliberately outside docs/manual/images/. That whole figure set
still shows Vapor Pets on the pre-1.2 card layout, and BACKLOG.md holds the reshoot as a single
pass that has to move the tutorial prose with the pictures — half of it would leave one document
showing two collections. A README hero sits outside that document, so it can be current on its own.
assets/readme/README.md carries how to reshoot it and what the frame has to show.

It is referenced by absolute URL rather than a relative path, because every release archive carries
README.md and a relative image path there points at a file the archive does not contain.

Also

  • Backlogged: the project icon the other Vaporsoft repos carry beside the Vaporsoft logo. The
    mark exists and tools/icons/make-app-icon.py already generates it from the theme's own values —
    the work is teaching that script to emit a web-sized PNG too, which is the only way to add one
    without creating the second copy IconSourceTests exists to prevent.
  • Corrected a stale number in BACKLOG.md: it said the window minimum was 1200x712. It has been
    1280x720 since the milestone commit.

Downloads

Size .NET 10 needed
Portable 84 MB no — unzip anywhere and run. Start here if you are unsure.
Single file 76 MB no — one .exe. Unpacks itself on first run, so that launch is slower.
Single file, .NET 14 MB yes — one .exe, runtime left out.
Framework-dependent 14 MB yes — the same, as a folder.

The two .NET builds need the .NET 10 desktop
runtime; the other two carry everything.
