Full Changelog: v0.3.0...v0.4.1

v0.3.0

deck-visuals v0.3.0

Story-driven visuals + palette chooser

• Subject-idiom skins over the diagram primitives (e.g. space -> orbits,
  architecture -> blueprints), driving form/metaphor only — never color.
• Accent theme picker (dv-onboard --form palette): pick a validated theme
  from swatches, never name a color.

Marketing site

• Real 3-page site: landing (docs/index.html), a full categorized gallery
  (docs/gallery.html), and the original technical reference
  (docs/reference.html) — genuine plugin output, not mockups.
• "Aurora Depth" design system for the site's own chrome — a faithful port
  of html5up's Dimension template's real CSS values, kept strictly separate
  from the deck's own navy theme.

Per-theme coordinated dark surfaces

• Every accent theme now carries its own coordinated surface (hue-matched
  via OKLCH at the same lightness/chroma as the original navy tokens)
  instead of a fixed navy floor under every accent — a warm theme no longer
  clashes with a cold blue background.
• Re-validated all 16 themes against the shared 8-slot categorical data
  palette with the real dv-tools validate-palette (exit 0).
• A custom pasted brand accent gets a live-derived coordinated surface too
  (in-browser OKLCH derivation in the palette picker).

New default diagram visual language

• Flow / Timeline: chamfered nodes (45°-cut corners, not rounded rects),
  bold chevron connectors, a categorical accent-triangle tag per node.
• Relationship / Architecture: genuinely dimensional isometric "plates" — a
  flat top diamond plus two extruded rim faces (the plate's own categorical
  hex at reduced opacity, never a new/derived color) — not a bare outline.
• Five real construction bugs found by rendering and looking closely, fixed,
  and documented as a permanent "Mistakes to never repeat" section in
  references/visual-concepts.md so they aren't rediscovered next time.
• Gallery now demonstrates 4 of the 5 diagram recipes (added Timeline).

Levity

• Real levity-picker screenshot (previously an honest "pending" placeholder).
• A dedicated "Never a guessed GIF" homepage section: the real 25-shape seed
  library, cadence discipline, sourcing rule, and accessibility guarantee.
• A second real GIF specimen (Wile E. Coyote — "momentum without control").

CI

• onboarding-server.yml's smoke check now runs on every PR (it was
  path-filtered before, so it silently never ran on unrelated PRs — useless
  as a required check) and skips its real build/test steps internally when
  nothing relevant changed.
• main is now branch-protected: PR required, the smoke check must be
  green, no force-push, no branch deletion.

v0.2.0

deck-visuals v0.2.0

Visual onboarding

• A local swipe picker (runtime-free Go server, 127.0.0.1 only) rebuilds the
  presenter's familiar-sources profile from a ~50-title show catalog.
• Deck-time levity picker: choose one of 2-3 candidate GIFs per slide (3-up chooser).
• Premium shared dark UI (aurora background, card treatments, reduced-motion safe).

dv-tools (Go)

• The three Python helper scripts (check_media_url, coverage_report, validate_palette)
  ported to one stdlib-only Go binary with subcommands, done test-first against a
  golden parity harness (14/14). Python/JS scripts removed.
• Fix: coverage capacity-mode GAP message now names the carrying titles.

CI

• onboarding-server.yml smoke-tests the picker server and runs go vet/test + the
  coverage gate. build.sh now builds from the module dir (CI cross-compile fix).
