# Verify The last pass. Every answer comes from a frame you looked at, never from the code. Fix the largest visible failure first, re-shoot, return to the top, iterate until every answer is yes. The rules are in `framing.md`, `craft.md` and `motion.md`. ## Gate - `film.mjs --gate` on the wide loop ends `rehearsal passed`? (For a still, `--still --gate`.) - The same at `--width 390`, and at the brief's own width when it names one? - `--states --gate`: one sheet of the opening, every mark settled and the end, with nothing you would send back? ## Framing (first, because nothing else matters if this is wrong) - One gutter, and the window or phone bleeds off at least one edge, or sits whole because the brief wants it? - Is anything cut by the crop that has words on it, or that the eye needs whole? - Is the ground the page the brief named, no plate behind the device on a white or dark page? - Is any corner of the stage empty for no reason? - Panes full: no void under a list (`empty pane:`), rows at their own pitch (`loose list:`)? - Phone: nothing under the island, a sheet below the status bar, a cropped phone losing status bar and nav together? ## Hierarchy and density - The closest gold's still beside yours: say the one difference. Is yours the sparser, flatter or smaller one, and why? - Still: is the subject real words and values, with bars only beside it and on what the crop cuts? - Label and value both words or both bars? - Named avatars colored, gray discs only for filler? - At realistic fidelity, does a list of six or more rows have at most as many placeholders as real rows? - The heaviest mark sits on what the story is about? - A date range: air between weeks, fading where the range continues, capped only on real start and end days? - Bento: every tile a specific moment with its words on it; no tile that is a title over bars; stat and unit on one line? ## Motion (animated scenes) - Each beat filmed at 40 to 80ms with `--at` and looked at: presses, morphs, hand-offs, exits, the seam? - Nothing appears without an entrance or leaves without an exit, except `Bubble` and `Fly` with a visible hand-off? - A swipe lands, presses, flicks a third of the screen, lifts still moving, and the page carries on as one motion? - A reaction grows from the bubble's corner with the room opening on the same clock? - A terminal's marks are glyphs in the grid, each line owning its own, swapped in place? - Rolling numbers roll in the right direction and settle once? - The loop ends where it began, or resets with a visible cause? ## Polish (last) - Zoom every hand-drawn thing at 4x: would a stranger know what it is, and is any stroke clipped by its box? - No translucent icon, no onion skin, no hand-drawn mark where the kit has one? - Spacing even: words 12px from edges, stacks 4 to 6px of ink apart, dots 6px clear? - Type: nothing under 10px on the phone, nothing wrapping that shouldn't? ## What you see, what you do | You see | You do | |---|---| | A void under a list or pane (`empty pane:`) | More product into it until it runs off the crop, or crop the pane; never spread the rows | | A one-line row three times taller than its words (`fat row:`) | Padding 12px (8px dense) and more rows; never air inside the row | | Rows spaced wider than they are tall (`loose list:`) | Tighten the pitch to the row's padding; add rows | | A whole window floating with even margins on a hero | Bleed it off two edges with one gutter, or fill it | | Gray bars where the eye lands | Words there; bars beside it and off the crop stay | | A label beside a real value drawn as a bar | Both words, or drop the row | | A stat's unit on its own line (`unit wrapped:`) | Nowrap the pair, size the number to the tile, or move the unit to the lead | | A phone drawn small, or whole, in a narrow host | Crop it: a gutter from one edge, off the other, screen 1:1 | | A grabber or sheet under the island | Start the sheet below the status bar | | A popover that shifts while open (`anchor drift:`) | Pin it by the edge it opened from; reserve the height | | An emoji where an icon belongs (`emoji icon:`) | A drawn glyph from one family; emoji stay in messages and reactions | | An icon cut by its box (`clipped glyph:`) | Fit the drawing in its viewBox, or use the kit's glyph | | A reaction, dot or mark on the words | Move it to the edge or gutter the kit gives it | | A gate line you think is intentional | Look again; if it still looks fine, say so in REHEARSAL.md with the frame; never clear it by hiding the thing | | Ten film runs, gate green, frame unchanged | Stop.
