# Inputs and asset origins

## Supplied inputs

- `inputs/dispatch.original.txt`: exact initial local build dispatch, preserved before implementation.
- `inputs/03-pocket-observatory.original.md`: byte-for-byte copy of the supplied `03-pocket-observatory.md`, including the short brief and useful correction. The **directed production brief** governed this build. The short comparison variant, larger matrix, and an automatic human correction were not run.
- The task context also supplied Curtis’s global working agreement, a local workspace, installed tool/skill descriptions, and local-only authorization.

The supplied brief credits the tactile interface idea in [Angel’s public portfolio post](https://x.com/Angaisb_/status/2095964361105789424) and links an [author-published short prompt](https://x.com/Angaisb_/status/2095970578989449325). Those references are credited as supplied context only. Their pages or media were not retrieved or copied for this build.

**This is an original pilot inspired by public examples, not a reconstruction of a creator’s private prompt.** The source prompt itself calls the idea original and untested.

## Original assets

| Asset | Origin and implementation |
| --- | --- |
| Instrument housing and buttons | Original functional CSS layout, gradients, borders, and shadows authored for this pilot |
| Copper rotary control | Original CSS conic/radial gradients and grip geometry; an interactive navigation control |
| Star map | Original deterministic SVG geometric constellation and point field; not an astronomical chart |
| Tidal Atlas study | Original SVG tide curve and contour-like line study; synthetic and illustrative, no live readings |
| Type in Motion study | Original SVG typographic composition using a system serif font |
| Turning Point study | Original SVG polygonal gear diagram; no physical measurements or validated simulation |
| Identity mark / favicon | Original four-point geometric mark |
| Copy, projects, remix | Original fictional content authored for this pilot |
| Screenshots | Captured from the running local Chromium website |
| Demonstration | Actual browser recording; a small cursor indicator was added to show pointer actions |

## Dependencies and fonts

The shipped website uses native HTML, CSS, SVG, browser JavaScript modules, and Node.js built-in modules. There are **no runtime package dependencies** and no network asset requests.

Fonts use the visitor’s available Arial/Helvetica, Georgia/Times New Roman, Courier New, and system fallbacks. No font files are copied or redistributed. Appearance can vary slightly across operating systems.

Development-only tools: installed Playwright, Chromium, FFmpeg, and Python for packaging/QA utilities. Their binaries, libraries, caches, profiles, and licenses are not bundled as app dependencies. No external image generation, paid assets, paid render service, account registration, publication, or deployment was used.

The housing is a user-requested original functional instrument, and the project studies are diagrams. No raster artwork or third-party screenshots were used as a substitute for the working interface. Visual renders do not establish accurate physics or scientific validity.
