+## 2026-08-21 - three register pilots shipped; the comparison is controlled; Editorial recommended
+
+All three register pilots merged on the /next/ rail (#561 rescue-room, #562
+editorial, #563 precision, #564 cross-pilot column fix): one landing anatomy,
+three skins, copy parity verified at DOM level (identical text tokens, tags,
+class sequences). Four-persona panel + fable critique recorded in 20.08:
+pilot vote B 2 / C 1 / A 1; artifact head-to-head Editorial 4-1; recommendation
+= Artifact Editorial + graft package (Precision's ledger table for data,
+Rescue Room's mobile rhythm patterns - which are ANATOMY patterns, portable;
+its template-silhouette weakness is intrinsic). Paul decides on the live URLs.
+Durable instrument lesson added to test-gates: local production checks must
+set BASE_URL or the browser silently loads the LIVE site's CSS. The shared
+mobile table-clip defect (all three pilots, column 2 off-edge without
+affordance) is deliberately deferred to the winner's graft round - fixing it
+three times buys nothing.

+# 20.08 — Register lightning-demo board (2026-08-21)
+
+**Decision owner: Paul.** This board carries the pilots, the panel's votes, and
+the fable recommendation. Nothing here is decided until Paul says so.
+
+## The three pilots — one anatomy, three skins
+
+Identical copy on all three, verified at DOM level (553 text tokens, one md5;
+identical tag and class sequences). The only variable is the register.
+
+| | Live (noindexed staging on production) | Local |
+|---|---|---|
+| A — Rescue Room (warm humanist) | https://jetthoughts.com/next/pilots/rescue-room/fractional-cto/ | `http://localhost:<port>/next/pilots/rescue-room/fractional-cto/` |
+| B — Artifact Editorial (serif editorial) | https://jetthoughts.com/next/pilots/editorial/fractional-cto/ | …`/next/pilots/editorial/fractional-cto/` |
+| C — Engineered Precision (ruled technical) | https://jetthoughts.com/next/pilots/precision/fractional-cto/ | …`/next/pilots/precision/fractional-cto/` |
+
+Legacy comparison: https://jetthoughts.com/services/fractional-cto/
+
+## Panel vote (4 personas, sonnet; distinct lenses; forced self-objection)
+
+| Voter | 1st | 2nd | Core argument |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Sam — burned founder (trust in 5s) | **B** | C | "reads like a document I can trust, not a pitch I'm being sold" |
+| CFO — buyer (price justification) | **C** | B | "the itemized ledger that keeps this firm from ever surprise-billing me" |
+| Mobile UX (390px rhythm) | **A** | C | threaded timeline, one-line nav, CTA color constancy start-to-finish |
+| Brand strategist (differentiation + scale) | **B** | C | B *performs* "we show our work"; A is the template silhouette to escape |
+
+First choices **B 2 · C 1 · A 1**. C sits in every voter's top two (the safe
+choice); **A took zero trust/brand/buyer votes** — warm-rounded consistently
+read as template. Strongest self-objections, recorded: B "editorial polish is
+what a firm hides behind when substance is missing" (Sam) and "could read as a
+media property, not engineers" (Brand); C "am I paying for software or a
+person's judgment?" (CFO); A "softer/consumer-app, less rigorous" (Mobile).
+
+## Artifact-level head-to-head (Paul's review request, 2026-08-21 evening)
+
+Paul asked for a review+vote between the two Claude Design artifact sets:
+the **Artifact Editorial set** (`8eb98dd6`: homepage + service page — the only
+entry proven as a SYSTEM across two pages) vs **Rescue Room** (`3dc819cf`:
+service page only). Restricting each recorded ballot to those two:
+**Editorial 3 — Rescue Room 1** (Sam, CFO, Brand → Editorial; Mobile → Rescue
+Room), plus the fable vote → **Editorial 4–1**. Rescue Room's durable
+contributions are its ANATOMY (the shared skeleton) and its mobile rhythm
+patterns — both survive regardless via the graft package.
+
+## Fable recommendation: **B — Artifact Editorial, with a graft package**
+
+The tie-breaking observation: the mobile voter's pro-A arguments are **anatomy
+patterns, not register properties** — a threaded timeline, one-line nav, and
+CTA color constancy graft into any skin. A's weakness (template silhouette) is
+intrinsic; B's weaknesses are all fixable inside the register. And B is the
+only register that structurally matches the content strategy Paul's own Claude
+Design artifacts converged on — selling with documents (redacted audit
+exhibits, Friday-report cards) demands an editorial system.
+
+Graft package (applies to B if chosen):
+1. **C's ruled-ledger table treatment** for data surfaces (the CFO vote, kept).
+2. **A's mobile rhythm patterns**: threaded timeline, one-line nav at 390,
+   CTA stays accent-filled through the footer (B currently breaks this).
+3. B mobile fixes: reduce all-caps density at small sizes; thread the step
+   boxes.
+
+## Defects on the board (status)
+
+- **A+B muted-column**: FIXED — #564 merged (`0c23219e8`); both pilots'
+  comparison columns now compute their muted tokens (A 5.95:1, B 5.74:1).
+- **Shared mobile table clip** (all three clip column 2 off-edge, no scroll
+  affordance): affects all three equally → does not distort the comparison;
+  fixed in the winner's graft round, not three times.
+- First-fold-only screenshot coverage (below-fold unverified by the suite;
+  browser-verified instead) — tracked follow-up.
+
+## Decision protocol
+
+Paul reviews the live links (phone + desktop), reads the votes, then picks:
+**A / B / C / none (rerun with new directions)**. The two losing pilots'
+stubs+CSS are deleted; the winner's register gets the graft round, then the
+service-page flip (`type: next` on the real page) per ADR-0006 §5, then the
+homepage build from Paul's Claude Design artifact (claims question pending:
+the audit exhibit needs a real source or an honest SAMPLE label).
