CONTROLLED VISUAL RESET · v0.2 · 15 AUG 2026

What was preserved.
What was replaced.

Preserved

  • The original / route remains the complete v0.1 comparison point.
  • The 22-beat journey, five acts, storyboard data and review routes are unchanged.
  • Responsive foundations, reduced motion and semantic token mechanics remain available.
  • The work is protected by a Git checkpoint on main; v0.2 is isolated on its own branch.

Visually rejected

  • The muddy olive, khaki, brown and murky teal atmosphere has no authority in v0.2.
  • Monospace is removed from the defining visual voice and limited to legacy v0.1 notation.
  • CSS capsule people, rectangle cargo and gradient environments are not used by /v02.
  • The former developer-progress-bar timeline is not carried into the reset.

V0.2 decisions

  • Warm architectural white is the dominant surface; deep neutral is used selectively.
  • Six paired styleframes hold spatial composition constant across cinematic and line-art treatments.
  • The ocean horizon becomes the conceptual source for the precision journey ruler.
  • Public navigation is separated from a clearly labelled prototype dock.

Temporary assumptions

  • The neutral/navy/coral baseline is explicitly temporary, not an approved brand palette.
  • Helvetica Neue, Avenir Next and Optima system stacks are comparison devices, not final font selections.
  • Origin and destination remain unnamed; the shipment remains ambiguous precision equipment.
  • hello@luex.global remains a contact placeholder requiring confirmation.

Production assets required

  • The generated styleframes are art-direction studies, not final campaign photography or commissioned illustration.
  • A production pass needs one recurring real or cast LUEX lead with identity continuity across frames.
  • Crate construction, labels, PPE and handling methods require route-specific freight validation.
  • Typography requires cross-platform font testing and an open-font selection after founder review.

Recommendation for v0.3

  • Select Concept A, Concept B or one tightly defined hybrid after reviewing the six frozen frames.
  • Validate the three typography directions independently of colour preference.
  • Operationally audit the six selected scenes before commissioning further frames.
  • Only then extend the approved language across the remaining journey beats.
