Run record — 2026-08-26

Baseline

Prototype completion: 20%. Initial gate: Story 3, Art 3, Motion 2, Interaction 2, Sound 1, Engineering 3, Emotional residue 2.

Implemented visual difference

The 28–40 second passage now has a continuous cause-and-effect chain: separate light/dark bodies feed two visible conduits; a dark-gold embryo forms at their contact; the contact flashes into radial fracture lines at dawn; the seed then migrates into the final-life position. Sound adds a third harmonic layer plus timed birth and rupture strikes.

Browser verification

Headless Chrome completed an actual-time 50-second pass at 1440 × 900. The DOM reported 00:48, chapter WHAT REMAINS, finished: true, and titleHidden: true. The captured final frame shows the third organism in the split light/dark field, the full timeline, chapter VII and the capture action. JavaScript syntax check passed and Chrome exited normally. Audio state reached ON, but audio quality cannot be judged from a silent screenshot and remains a human-listening requirement.

Current provisional score

Story 3, Art Direction 3, Motion Direction 3, Interaction 2, Sound 2, Engineering 4, Emotional residue 3. No publication request until every score is at least 4 and a third-party response test exists.
