Why we did this

Sarah draws the pictures for our blog, but she can't open our code or private notes.

What happened

Each blog post now gets a page Sarah can open, with the idea and the deadline. The first one became the picture on a published post.

Early → finalSarah's rough sketches became the picture at the top of the published blog post.

How we got here

Each change, traced back to the conversation it came from. A solid mark means the record names the source; a dashed one was matched by the draft and waits for review.

Someone said

Three sheets of hand sketches exploring the metaphor: a circuit wall with a keyhole band, a room under a glass dome, an agent wrapped around a sandcastle, a playground of towers and tubes.

The hero puts a single agent inside the dynamic sandbox, judged against a short list of plain-language policies, above the operating system. The listing lines five agents up on the same purple band.

We decided

No ruling needed: the work itself is the change.

So now

Sarah's rough sketches became the picture at the top of the published blog post.

Someone said

From the record: no recorded conversation behind this one.

We decided

O1 One brief page per article on /briefs, off the main nav, so Sarah has one address for direction, references and status. — Mark Parson

So now

Every blog picture now starts from one page with the idea, examples and deadline.
