benstull 582183db2f Merge pull request 'fix(sim): kill the reverse-landing frame jump (D3)' (#30) from fix/d3-reverse-landing-jump into main 2026-06-30 14:17:56 +00:00
BenStullsBets c13ce36787 fix(sim): kill the reverse-landing frame jump (D3)
Ascending the altitude dial and landing on the higher-altitude clip jumped ~3
seconds. A baked morph `transitions/{h}__{l}.mp4` spans src@0 (frac 0) ->
dst@~LOOP_TAIL_S (frac 1) and is scrubbed bidirectionally, but the steady loop
element always seeked LOOP_TAIL_S (3.0s) on landing. Descending lands on dst at
its tail (matches the seek — the s0026 loop-from-tail fix); ascending lands on
src at the morph's HEAD (src@0), so seeking the tail was a 3s jump.

Make the loop landing frame direction-aware: pure `HEFScrub.loopLandFrame(dir,
loopTailS)` returns 0 when ascending, loopTailS otherwise. `loadLoop` takes a
`landFrame`, stores it as `dataset.loopStart`, and the timeupdate/ended wrap
handlers honor it (the base clips are already seamless crossfade-loops, so a
reverse landing wraps [0,dur] cleanly). The settle path lands explicitly on the
direction's frame so a fast ascent never jumps even if the heading clip wasn't
preloaded in time. App-side only — no 154-morph LFS re-bake.

Verify: node unit (loopLandFrame) + a new reverse-landing e2e asserting the loop
anchors at the head (loopStart "0"), and the existing forward "loops from tail"
e2e still green (12/12 altitude-lock).

## Launch prompt
```
Add left and right brain annotations (including localization) for any that are missing.
```
## Plan
> Anchor: operator direct instruction (standalone leaf content-fill task, §4.3 R2b).
**Goal:** Author the missing **left-brain** factual `LABELS` (tiered general→scientific→+fact
labels) for the rotating-pool clips that lack them, plus their **es/fr/ja** translations,
then rebuild + merge the manifest. Right-brain `affect` is auto-generated per scale for
every clip via `_affect_for_clip` — nothing missing there.
## Pre-state
- `main` at `5beee55` locally but **diverged from `origin/main`**: 11 merged-but-unpushed
commits (the entire i18n localization feature + a video-loop safety-net fix) stranded
locally; `origin/main` still at `eff43bd` (PR #29). Plus 3 files with an uncommitted
"boots-silent / no auto-start" change. Two stale `--INPROGRESS` placeholders (0015, 0017).
- Annotation reality (from a read-only survey of `build_pool_manifest.py` + catalogs):
right-brain `affect` present on all 41 clips (auto-per-scale); left-brain `LABELS`
present on only 13 of 41. 28 pool clips had `"annotations": []`.
## Arc
1. **Scoped the task** — explored the annotation/i18n system; established that the gap was
left-brain only (right-brain is auto-generated), 28 clips, + their es/fr/ja strings.
2. **Claimed session 0027** (peek showed the two stale placeholders; noted + proceeded).
3. **Surfaced the unclean baseline**; operator chose *"Push stranded, also commit dirty."*
- Stashed the 3 dirty files, merged `origin/main`'s claim commit, **pushed the 11
stranded commits** (`020219f`).
- Committed the boots-silent change on `fix/boot-silent-no-autostart`, verified
(299 pytest pass), **merged + pushed** (`7bd6c9a`).
4. **Annotation work** on `feat/left-brain-annotations`:
- Added 28 `LABELS` entries (static tiered labels) to `build_pool_manifest.py`
(Round-5 block); rebuilt manifest → all 41 clips annotated; extracted en catalog.
- Dispatched **3 parallel translator subagents** (es/fr/ja) for the 67 new keys,
matching existing catalog voice; fixed 2 ja `measure.*` values to the `約`/localized
convention; merged fragments into catalogs; merged all 3 langs into the manifest.
- Verified: 41 clips × en/es/fr/ja full key + tier-length parity; 299 pytest pass
(3 pre-existing `cv2` env failures only); 37 i18n/manifest tests green; spot-checked
translations. **Merged + pushed** (`934f60c`), deleted both branches.
## Cut state
- `main` == `origin/main` @ `934f60c`, clean tree, branches removed.
- 41/41 clips carry left+right annotations with full en/es/fr/ja parity.
- §9: local tests green. No PPE/E2E machinery exists for this app yet (pipeline is policy,
not automated — §10.6); prod promotion stays operator-gated. Visual review deferred to
operator (no Chrome on box).
## Operator plate
- **Review by eye** the 28 newly-labelled clips across all 4 languages in the running sim.
- The labels are **static**; the abyss/reef *creature* clips would benefit from a later
**tracked-label** upgrade via author mode (couldn't auto-file as a tracker issue — the
capture token returned 401 in this env; full context is in the session-0027 memory note).
- A few species IDs were inferred from clip META, not the frame (`reef_redsea`→anthias,
`reef_flowergarden`→jack/scad+sergeant-major) — worth confirming at review.
- Two stale `--INPROGRESS` sessions (0015, 0017) remain unfinalized — likely the crashed
sessions that stranded the 11 commits; left untouched for the operator.
## Next-session prompt
```
/goal Review the new left-brain annotations (all 28 newly-labelled pool clips, across en/es/fr/ja) by eye in the running simulator; correct any species/box that reads wrong, and decide whether the abyss/reef creature clips should get tracked labels via author mode.
```
## Deferred decisions
- **Static labels, not tracked.** Authored all 28 clips' left-brain labels as fixed-box
`static_label`s rather than motion-tracked labels. Alternative: tracked labels (as the
reef/abyss showcase clips use) so the box follows drifting creatures. Chose static because
the footage wasn't eyeballed — fabricating track coordinates would claim precision I don't
have. The abyss/reef creature clips are the ones that would most benefit from a later
tracked-label upgrade via author mode.
- **Some species IDs inferred from clip metadata, not the footage.** `reef_redsea`→anthias,
`reef_flowergarden`→jack/scad + sergeant-major — read from the clip META title/source.
High-confidence from provenance, but worth an eyeball check.
- **`O-type` kept verbatim in es/fr/ja** (per the translation brief) rather than the more
natural `tipo O` / `type O`. Minor; flagged by the es translator.

## Launch prompt
```
Add left and right brain annotations (including localization) for any that are missing.
Resolved scope: right-brain `affect` is auto-generated per scale for every clip (nothing missing). The gap is left-brain `LABELS` (factual/scientific tiered labels) on 28 rotating-pool clips that have no entry in simulator/build_pool_manifest.py, plus their es/fr/ja translations in tools/i18n/catalogs. Author them following the existing static_label pattern, rebuild the manifest, merge translations, run tests.

## Launch prompt
`/goal next` — operator then directed: "There's a concurrent session — do this one out
of a worktree in a different dir." Session 0028 runs isolated in worktree
`worktree-session-0028` while a concurrent session owns the simulator startup ("Run
simulation" button: `index.html`/`style.css`/`i18n.js`).
## Plan
> Anchor: leaf bug — D3 reverse-landing frame jump (no tracker issue; the s0027 capture
> token returned 401. Residual flagged in the altitude-morph-and-scrub memory note +
> scrub-driven-transitions design.)
**Goal:** kill the ~3-second frame jump when ASCENDING the altitude dial and landing on
the higher-altitude clip.
**Root cause (verified by reading the bake + player):** each baked morph
`transitions/{h}__{l}.mp4` spans `src(h)@0s` (frac 0) → `dst(l)@~LOOP_TAIL_S` (frac 1),
and the scrub uses this single forward file in BOTH directions. The steady loop element
always seeks to `LOOP_TAIL_S` (3.0s) on landing. So:
- DESCEND (dir>0) lands on `dst` at frac 1 → morph ends `dst@3` ≈ loop@3 → seamless ✓
(the s0026 "loop-from-tail" fix).
- ASCEND (dir<0) lands on `src` at frac 0 → morph shows `src@0`, but loop seeks `src@3`
→ ~3s jump ✗ (D3).
**Fix (app-side, no media re-bake — beats re-baking 154 LFS morphs):** make the loop
landing frame DIRECTION-AWARE. On a reverse landing seek the loop to 0 (= the morph's
frac-0 frame) and wrap `[0,dur]` (the base is already a seamless crossfade-loop); forward
keeps `[LOOP_TAIL_S,dur]`. Pure decision extracted to `scrub.js loopLandFrame(dir,
loopTailS)` + node tests; wired through `loadLoop`/settle/wrap handlers in `app.js`.
**Tasks:**
1. TDD `HEFScrub.loopLandFrame(dir, loopTailS)` in `scrub.js` (+ `scrub.test.js`).
2. Wire `app.js`: `loadLoop(clip, landFrame)`, directional settle seek, `dataset.loopStart`
in the `timeupdate`/`ended` wrap handlers.
3. Add a reverse-landing e2e (mirror of the existing forward "loops from tail" test).
4. Verify: node unit tests + pytest + e2e (best-effort) all green.
5. Branch → PR → merge (yolo). PPE/E2E machinery not built for this app (§10.6) — local
green is the bar; prod promotion stays operator-gated.
## Deferred decisions
_Autonomous-mode low-confidence calls the driver made and would have
liked operator input on. Appended as the session runs; surfaced at
finalize. Empty if none._
- **Fix shape: app-side direction-aware loop landing, NOT a 154-morph re-bake.** The
s0026 memory note guessed the D3 fix would be "per-clip loop files." Reading the bake +
player showed the root cause is simpler: the morph's frac-0 frame is `src@0` but the
loop always seeked the tail (`LOOP_TAIL_S`). Fixed entirely in `app.js`/`scrub.js` by
landing the loop on the morph's actual frac-0 frame (0) when ascending. This avoids
re-baking 154 LFS morphs (no media churn, a tiny reviewable diff, the base clips are
already seamless crossfade-loops so `[0,dur]` wraps cleanly). Alternative considered:
re-bake morphs to start at `src@LOOP_TAIL_S` — heavier, no benefit.
- **Pre-existing e2e failure left as-is:** `loop-recovery.spec.ts` fails in this
environment on the CLEAN baseline too (verified by stashing my changes). It boots
without enabling video, so the loop's `loopTail` is never armed and the `ended` guard
returns early. Not introduced here; my change preserves that guard exactly. Worth a
separate look (the test likely needs to `enableVideo` first), but out of scope for D3.
- **Could not verify by eye.** The fix is logic- and test-verified (node + the new
reverse-landing e2e asserting the loop anchors at the head, not the tail); the actual
visual seamlessness of an ascending landing still wants an operator eyeball in the
running sim.
## Session arc
1. Claimed session **0028** (race-free, via git). Two stale `--INPROGRESS` placeholders
(0015, 0017) noted as orphaned, left untouched.
2. Baseline survey surfaced uncommitted `run-sim` button edits + main behind by 2
(session commits). Operator confirmed a **concurrent session** owns that startup work
and directed isolation → created worktree `worktree-session-0028` off `origin/main`,
leaving the concurrent session's edits in the canonical clone untouched.
3. Orientation: in-repo `docs/ROADMAP.md` is stale (formal frontier = deferred hardware);
live frontier is in memory. Stored `/goal next` (0027's by-eye annotation review) is
operator-eyes work I can't complete; the run-sim button is the concurrent session's.
Asked the operator to pick 0028's disjoint item → **D3 reverse-landing fix**.
4. Read the bake (`build_pool_manifest.transition_cmd`) + player (`app.js` loop/morph) to
pin the root cause (morph spans `src@0``dst@tail`; loop always seeks the tail).
5. TDD: `HEFScrub.loopLandFrame` (red → green), then wired `app.js`
(`loadLoop(clip,landFrame)`, `dataset.loopStart`, directional settle, wrap handlers).
6. Added a reverse-landing e2e. Verified: node 16/16, **altitude-lock e2e 12/12** (forward
no-regression + new reverse test), pytest 299 pass. Confirmed `loop-recovery.spec.ts`
fails on the clean baseline too (pre-existing, not mine) by stashing.
7. Committed → PR #30 → merged to `main` (`582183d`) → deleted branch. Updated memory.
## Cut state
- **On `main` (`582183d`):** D3 fix — `simulator/static/scrub.js` (+`loopLandFrame`),
`simulator/static/app.js` (direction-aware loop landing), `simulator/unit/scrub.test.js`,
`simulator/e2e/tests/altitude-lock.spec.ts` (reverse-landing test).
- **Tests:** node 16/16; altitude-lock e2e 12/12; pytest 299 pass / 3 pre-existing
env-only failures (real-ffprobe/ffmpeg + ML detect; untouched — no Python changed) / 4
skipped. `loop-recovery.spec.ts` is a pre-existing baseline failure in this env.
- **§9 / deploy:** this whole project is **exempt** from flotilla/PPE/§9 (memory:
project-exempt-from-wiggleverse-deploy; public target is static Cloudflare). Local-green
is the bar — met. No PPE stage to run.
- **No plan artifact archived:** fused leaf fix, plan inline in this transcript; app has
**no content repo** (`CONTENT_REMOTE` empty) — nothing to archive.
## Operator plate
- **Review by eye** an ASCENDING altitude landing in the running sim — confirm the
~3s reverse-landing jump is gone (logic/test-verified only; no Chrome on box here).
- Still standing from s0027: by-eye review of the 28 left-brain annotations (4 langs);
decide on tracked labels for abyss/reef creature clips.
- A concurrent session was shipping the "Run simulation" startup button — reconcile/land
that separately (its edits are in the canonical clone, not touched here).
## Next-session prompt
```
/goal Review by eye in the running simulator: (1) an ASCENDING altitude landing — confirm the D3 reverse-landing frame jump is gone; (2) the 28 left-brain annotations across en/es/fr/ja, correcting any species/box that reads wrong; then decide whether the abyss/reef creature clips should get tracked labels via author mode.

## Launch prompt
"We need to make sure credits for Creative Commons licensed videos are compliant.
What are some options?" → after presenting options the operator chose **Option A**
(manifest-driven static credits/colophon page surfaced to the public) + **Option D1**
(declare the altered footage CC BY-SA 4.0). Non-commercial.
## Pre-state
- Branch `design/cloudflare-static-publish` (static-publish work, pushed). Working
tree had uncommitted, unrelated in-flight work: a "Run simulation" start button
(6 files) **plus** an `r2-cors.json` reformat (surfaced via stash, 7 total).
- Per-clip `license`/`source` already in `clips.json` (baked from `/api/clips`) but
only shown in the dev panel + internal review pages — public experience showed none.
- A concurrent session was live in worktree `fix+audio-and-tracking-labels` (off main);
the operator was also committing directly to `design/cloudflare-static-publish`.
## Arc
1. **Audited** the license surface: `tools/licensing.py`, `pipeline/provenance.py`,
manifest, frontend. Found credits exist in data + review tooling but not the public
experience → that's the gap. Presented options AD; operator chose A + D1.
2. **Claimed session 0029** (planning-and-executing, yolo). Two stale `--INPROGRESS`
placeholders (0015, 0017) noted as long-dead, left alone.
3. **Operator-requested pre-work:** the uncommitted in-flight work. Stashed it,
created an isolated worktree (`.claude/worktrees/session-0029` off the branch HEAD,
since the static work lives there not on main), applied the stash.
- Discovered the branch had advanced under me to `8cc472c` (operator's direct
commit). It **intentionally** keeps `r2-cors.json` in S3-array form alongside a
new `r2-cors.wrangler.json` (runbook documents both) → **dropped** my conflicting
`r2-cors.json` reformat commit; kept + rebased only the Run-simulation button.
- Committed the button (`3a45e33`), ff-merged + pushed.
4. **Built Option A + D1** (TDD): node test for the pure credits logic first (red) →
`credits.js` (UMD: `creditEntries`/`creditsListHtml`, escaped, sorted) → `credits.html`
colophon (D1 CC BY-SA declaration + "altered" note; JS-filled video attributions;
PD/CC0 audio courtesy block; back link) → header "ⓘ Credits" link (`credits.link`
i18n en/es/fr/ja) → `style.css``PUBLIC_ASSETS` in `build_static.py` + its test →
Playwright e2e (`tests/test_e2e_credits.py`).
5. **Verified:** node 28/28, pytest 315 passed / 2 skipped. Real build render: 41/41
clips credited, all 7 CC-BY/BY-SA clips show required attribution, 0 missing.
Committed (`1c7f2b7`), ff-merged + pushed, removed the worktree, deleted the branch.
## End state
- `design/cloudflare-static-publish` @ `1c7f2b7`, clean, pushed (origin in sync).
- Public site now attribution-compliant: credits reachable from the work; altered-work
license declared. §9 is **exempt** for this project (static Cloudflare target), so
merged+pushed to the design branch is the completion state — no PPE/prod.
## Deferred decisions
- **Dropped my `r2-cors.json` reformat** rather than merging it — concluded from the
operator's `8cc472c` + runbook that the S3-array form is intentional. (Alternative:
keep both forms / ask. Chose to honor the documented two-file split.)
- **Audio credits as a static courtesy block** in `credits.html` rather than plumbing
`audio_license` through the manifest/API. Rationale: audio is all PD/CC0 (no legal
attribution duty) and not machine-readable; data-plumbing was out of scope. (Alternative:
add audio license fields — deferred, low value for non-commercial PD/CC0.)
## Next /goal
```
/goal operator by-eye review of the credits colophon + Run-simulation button on design/cloudflare-static-publish, then the actual Cloudflare deploy (provision R2 human-experience-simulator-media + CORS, run tools.build_static, Pages deploy) per deploy/cloudflare/README.md

## Plan
1. Map the splash/loading flow and the Video/Audio toggle wiring (Explore agent
+ direct reads of `simulator/static/{index.html,app.js,style.css,i18n.js}`).
2. Add a `#run-sim` button inside the stage `.screen`, hidden until media
preloads, styled to sit above the black cover (`z-index: 60`).
3. Add a `beginExperience()` helper: Video on + audio snapped to a
`START_AUDIO_LEVEL = "2"` + button dismissed + soundtrack played in-gesture
(Safari unlock). Wire it to both the button click and the first direct
Video-on (`!videoEverOn`).
4. Reveal the button after `hideLoading()`; change the old 3/10 coupling → 2/10.
5. Localize `run.button` in en/es/fr/ja (4-lang parity invariant).
6. Update E2E coverage (pytest-playwright + Playwright TS) from the old
"couples to 3" assertions to 2; add button-shown / button-starts /
direct-video-on tests.
7. Run the full suite + confirm a pre-existing failure is not mine.
## Pre-session state
- Branch `main` clean at `934f60c` (left-brain annotations merged). Simulator
boots SILENT (video off, audio 0) and waited for the operator to flip the
unlabelled **Video** toggle as the start gesture — not obvious to a first-time
viewer. First-Video-on coupled audio to **3/10**.
- No session-init gate was run at the top of this session — it was treated as a
small, fully-specified frontend change (see Deferred decisions).
## Turn-by-turn arc
1. **Explore + direct reads.** Dispatched an `Explore` subagent to map the
splash + AV-toggle code; in parallel read `index.html`, `app.js`
(`main()`/`hideLoading()`/`beginExperience` region, the audio dial, the
`videoEverOn` coupling), `style.css` (`#loading`, `.black z-index:50`,
`.hidden`), and `i18n.js` (UI_STRINGS shape, 4 languages). Confirmed the
stage `.screen` is `position: relative` and the black cover is `z-index: 50`,
so a start button needs `z-index > 50` inside the screen and the side panel
(Video toggle) stays reachable.
2. **Implement.** Added `#run-sim` to the stage; `.run-sim` CSS (centered pill,
`z-index: 60`); `run.button` i18n string (en/es/fr/ja); `beginExperience()`
unifying both entry paths; revealed the button after `hideLoading()`;
simplified the Video-toggle handler to call `beginExperience()` on first
on; changed coupling 3 → 2.
3. **Update tests.** Replaced the old `test_video_on_couples_audio_to_three…`
(pytest) and the "couples audio to 3/10" Playwright TS test with 2/10
variants; added button-shown-after-load, button-starts-video+audio, and
direct-Video-on-dismisses-button cases on both harnesses.
4. **Verify.** `303 passed, 2 skipped` (non-E2E pytest); `8 passed`
pytest-playwright (incl. 3 new); `12 passed` Playwright `altitude-lock.spec`
(incl. updated + new). Node unit tests (i18n / index-i18n / scrub) green; the
i18n completeness invariant confirms `run.button` has all 4 langs.
5. **Isolate a failure.** `loop-recovery.spec.ts` failed; stashed only the
source files and re-ran on a clean baseline — it **fails identically without
my changes**, so it's pre-existing, not introduced here. (During that stash
round-trip a `test-results/.last-run.json` artifact briefly blocked
`git stash pop`; recovered by `git checkout`-ing the artifact and popping —
no source lost.)
6. **Handed the working tree back uncommitted** for an operator by-eye review
(the project's usual cadence — no Chrome on the box). Offered to branch + PR.

## What lands on the operator's plate
- **By-eye / by-ear review** of the Run-simulation button in a real browser —
especially the **in-gesture audio unlock on real Safari/iOS** (headless tests
relax autoplay, so it's wired-but-unconfirmed on a real device).
- The button work lives on `design/cloudflare-static-publish` alongside the
CC-credits + Cloudflare-publish work; it merges to `main` / ships when that
branch does (session 0029's frontier), not separately.
- Note the concurrency: this session authored the change; session 0029 committed
it. Two transcripts (0029, 0030) touch the same single commit `3a45e33`
expected, not a duplicate of the commit.
## Prompt the operator can paste into the next session
```
/goal operator eyeball review of the static build (incl. the new Run-simulation button) + execute the real Cloudflare deploy to benstull.art/human-experience-simulator, per the cloudflare-static-publish design on branch design/cloudflare-static-publish
```
## Deferred decisions
_Autonomous-mode low-confidence calls; surfaced at finalize._
1. **No session-init gate at the top.** Treated the task as a small,
fully-specified frontend tweak and implemented directly without claiming a
transcript first. Consequence: the work landed on a shared checkout and was
committed by a concurrent session (0029) rather than carrying its own
end-to-end branch→PR. Alternative: claim a session + isolated worktree up
front. Flagged because shared-checkout work is what the worktree rule guards
against.
2. **`beginExperience()` snaps audio to 2 unconditionally** on first Video-on,
overriding a viewer who pre-set a higher level before pressing start /
flipping Video. Matched the operator's explicit "snap to audio level 2"
wording; alternative was to only raise from 0 (the prior 3/10 behavior). Easy
to soften to "only if currently 0" if undesired.
3. **Real-device audio autoplay unverified.** Headless Chromium ran with
`--autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required`, masking real Safari/iOS
behavior; the in-gesture unlock is wired but needs a by-ear check.

## Launch prompt
Follow-up to session 0029's credits work. Operator's first ask was to rename the
credits URL → "about" (one page holding both about + credits) and add an
Accessibility table. Mid-clarification the operator redirected: **keep About and
Credits separate** (the About page is owned by a parallel session) and simply
**"Remove the 'About this work' from the credits page. I'll merge that into the
About page on the other session."**
## What I found before acting
- The Cloudflare site is now **LIVE** (`benstull.art/human-experience-simulator`);
the branch had advanced several commits since s0029 (live deploy, progressive
boot, an audio mediaBase fix), and moved again mid-session (`a68d0bc``d10ffca`).
- A **live concurrent session** owns `feat/accessibility-pass` with an
approved-pending design spec (`docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-30-accessibility-and-about-page-design.md`):
a full WCAG 2.1 AA pass + a **separate `about.html`**. I surfaced the overlap with
the operator's original (one-page) ask; the operator resolved it by keeping the
pages separate and narrowing my task to the section removal.
## Arc
1. Surveyed git + the concurrent worktrees; read the a11y design spec.
2. Started to raise a coordination question; operator interrupted with the narrow
instruction (remove "About this work" from credits; they move it to About).
3. Claimed **session 0031**, isolated worktree off the live branch tip (`d10ffca`)
— only `credits.html` + its tests touched, so no overlap with the a11y session's
files (`index.html`/`style.css`/`app.js`/`about.html`).
4. Removed the `<section class="declaration">` "About this work" block from
`credits.html`; rewrote the footage note to be self-contained ("All footage is
altered in real time in the experience" — keeps the per-clip modification cue,
drops the dangling "as described above").
5. Updated tests to the new intent: `credits.test.js` and `tests/test_e2e_credits.py`
now assert the page notes footage is altered but the **CC BY-SA 4.0 declaration is
NOT** on credits (it moved to About).
6. Left the `.declaration` CSS rule in `style.css` (the About page reuses these styles).
7. Verified: node 28/28, pytest 315 passed / 2 skipped. Committed `8277417`,
ff-merged + pushed, removed the worktree, deleted the branch.
## End state
- `design/cloudflare-static-publish` @ `8277417`, clean, pushed.
- Credits page = per-clip attributions + "footage altered" note + audio courtesy
block. The CC BY-SA work-license declaration (D1) is **no longer on credits**
it now belongs on the About page (operator + `feat/accessibility-pass` own it).
- Site is live; this change reaches `benstull.art` only after a **redeploy**.
## Deferred decisions
- **Kept a brief "footage is altered" note on the credits page** rather than
stripping all alteration mention. Rationale: CC BY/BY-SA attribution wants the
modification indicated alongside the credit; the full license declaration is what
moved to About. (Alternative: remove every alteration mention from credits —
judged worse for the per-clip attribution's "indicate changes" cue.)
- **Left `.declaration` CSS in `style.css`** though now unused on credits — the
About page (other session) will reuse it; removing it would break that page.
## Compliance note
D1 (the altered-work CC BY-SA declaration) now depends on the About page actually
carrying it. **Confirm it landed on about.html before considering D1 done** — it is
currently in neither place on the live site until the About page ships + a redeploy.
## Next /goal
```
/goal confirm the About page (feat/accessibility-pass) carries the CC BY-SA 4.0 work-license declaration (D1, moved off credits in s0031), then redeploy design/cloudflare-static-publish to benstull.art per deploy/cloudflare/README.md

# Session 0032.0 — Transcript

> End: 2026-06-30T09-24 (PST)

## Launch prompt
After confirming that the "About this work" section removed in s0031 *was* the D1
compliance (the CC BY-SA share-alike declaration, not the per-clip attribution),
the operator: "Ok let's add that content back but can we name the section something
other than 'About This Work' so it isn't confused with the about page?"
## Arc
1. Confirmed for the operator that "About this work" carried D1 specifically — the
ShareAlike license declaration for the BY-SA source clips — while the per-clip
attribution (the original goal) was untouched and stayed on credits.
2. Claimed **session 0032**, isolated worktree off the branch tip (`8277417`).
3. Re-added the CC BY-SA 4.0 declaration to `credits.html` under the heading
**"License & reuse"** (deliberately not "About this work" — that name is reserved
for the separate About page from `feat/accessibility-pass`). Restored the footage
note's "altered as described above" now that the section is back above it. Reused
the `.declaration` CSS left in place by s0031.
4. Reverted the s0031 test changes: `credits.test.js` + `tests/test_e2e_credits.py`
now assert the declaration IS present, plus pin the rename (heading ≠ "About this
work", contains "License & reuse").
5. Verified: node 28/28, pytest 315 passed / 2 skipped (e2e confirms "CC BY-SA 4.0"
visible in-browser again). Committed `ee7c65a`, ff-merged + pushed, removed the
worktree, deleted the branch.
## End state
- `design/cloudflare-static-publish` @ `ee7c65a`, clean, pushed.
- Credits page now carries BOTH halves of CC compliance: per-clip CC-BY/BY-SA
attribution **and** the CC BY-SA 4.0 derivative declaration (under "License &
reuse"). The s0031 gap (live site missing the share-alike declaration) is closed.
- Site is live; reaches `benstull.art` only after a **redeploy**.
## Deferred decisions
- **Section heading "License & reuse"** chosen (operator delegated the name). It pairs
with the "Credits & licenses" page title and is unambiguous vs. the About page.
(Alternatives weighed: "This work's license", "License & alteration".)
## Next /goal
```
/goal redeploy design/cloudflare-static-publish to benstull.art (CC-BY/BY-SA credits + "License & reuse" D1 declaration now both on the credits page) per deploy/cloudflare/README.md; the About page lands separately via the feat/accessibility-pass session
