One instrument, every surface.

Direction B won. The whole platform is being rebuilt in the Instrument language — a telemetry-grade tool that measures how a film is made. Codified from R1, art-directed by Tom, delivered surface-by-surface for sign-off before build.

The Instrument — Design System

Tokens + core components, codified. Color/type/space/motion, the Measured-vs-Verified trust strip, section spine, right-hand readout panel, distributions, fingerprint, gauges, and the Evidence kit — with both R1 fixes baked in (label counts 6·3·3; composition schematics, no faux footage).

The origin surface — Jane is building the reference implementation against the locked system.
JANE · BUILD
✕ No confidence %, ever

No "reviewed", no "0/55", no "generation_ready". Broken formula, gone platform-wide.

✓ Measured / Verified trust

Honest coverage now; Verified shown locked until the auto-reviewer ships.

✓ Fix A — counts reconciled

Trust strip label counts equal the bars (6·3·3), never the taxonomy max.

✕ Fix B — no fabricated footage

Frames render as composition schematics from the labels, never faux stills.
