# Skyzai Brand Guide 8.1.22 — natural petal compositing

[S] Owner-directed source revision, 2026-09-28. Not a deployment or
portfolio-adoption receipt.

The parent seal uses pure white `#FFFFFF` on dark and dark-warm appearances,
and pure black `#000000` on light and True Tone. Each outer petal has 30%
fill opacity; each inner petal has 70%. The fill opacity is inherited by
individual paths, not applied as group opacity to a flattened assembly.
Overlaps therefore accumulate naturally: two outer petals produce 51%
effective ink, becoming lighter on dark and darker on light.

This owner direction replaces the v8.1.20/v8.1.21 flattened-assembly rule.
Those receipts and source revisions remain in Git as historical evidence.
Geometry, 18-second counter-rotation, fixed core, inspection settling,
shadow-free artwork, pause and reduced-motion behavior are unchanged.
Forced colours retain opaque system ink for visibility.

The source and browser guards now check per-path fill alpha and refuse
reintroduced group opacity, tinted ink and an opaque core. The website
pixel guard checks actual painted 51% overlaps and 70% inner petals.

## Local verification — 2026-09-28

[S/B local] Source commit `ec1d226cd586ab386b07bdf2e777a1d940a9bfd1`
passed 54 structural/token/parity checks and the registered unit suites.
The v8.1.22 standalone reader passed its public, rhythm and table-reflow
gates: 34 sections, 17 ordinary callouts, one disclosure and 47 tables;
28 reflow cases, 1,316 table observations and 68 keyboard checks.

The website projection passed 24 Chromium/WebKit parent-paint cases,
including actual 51% outer-overlap and 70% inner-petal RGB samples and
deliberate invalid-pixel/opacity negatives. Its final Us suite passed
32 cases / 1,090 checks, retaining full-turn windows and wrong-speed
negative controls. These results belong to this edition, not v8.1.21.

Publication and production acceptance remain pending separate exact-source
CI and deployment verification. Local token/header distribution does not
establish portfolio UI adoption.
