+# Venture Beyond — handoff
+
+**Branch:** `handoff/venture-beyond-deekan`
+**Base:** `origin/main` (`b02d67b`) · diverges at `b630790`
+**Figma:** https://www.figma.com/design/ke8N6VpnO86zfjGiLp46m2/RaidGuild---Grimoire---Venture?node-id=0-1
+Light frame `8:7` · Dark frame `117:3965` · both 1440×7759
+
+The branch is your own `feat/venture-beyond-redesign` history (26 commits,
+unchanged SHAs) plus six commits on top. Nothing has been pushed.
+
+## Run it
+
+```bash
+bun install
+PORT=3017 bun run dev
+```
+
+Two things are **not** in the repo and the build fails without the first:
+
+1. **`public/fonts/grinder/{Grinder-Regular,Grinder-Italic,Grinder-Retalic}.woff2`**
+   — held out pending a licence decision, see Blockers. `next/font/local`
+   resolves these at build time, so `bun run build` fails until they are in
+   place. Ask Luis for the files.
+2. **`.env`** — copy `env.sample`. Only the contact/consultation API routes
+   need it; the homepage renders without.
+
+## What is done
+
+Everything is measured against the final Figma target frames, not the
+`CODE BASELINE` frame `1:2` (that frame is a snapshot of the *old* code and
+several things exist only there — see Non-blocking).
+
+**Typography.** Grinder Regular/Italic/Retalic are wired as real cuts and
+scoped to `.site`, so the pre-redesign routes keep Mazius. The hero headline
+used to fake the reverse-italic with `transform: skewX(8deg)`; it now uses the
+actual Retalic cut. Body is Ubuntu 400 and mono is Ubuntu Mono 700, confirmed
+against the Figma type specimens.
+
+**Assets.** Hero light and dark play the Figma video fills; the manifesto
+backdrop is the desert walking-machine scene; Contact ships the Druid
+illustration; Louchi has a portrait. Icons are the native SVG exports, masked
+with `currentColor`.
+
+**Parity.** Every section height matches Figma at 1440:
+
+| Section | px | Section | px |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Hero | 897 | Active Spears | 1525 |
+| Signal bar | 80 | Expeditions | 1338 |
+| Guild + stats | 837 | Manifesto | 615 |
+| Keepers | 802 | Contact | 881 |
+| Team network | 444 | Footer | 402 |
+
+Total content 7821 against Figma's 7820.74. (The frame's declared 7759 is
+shorter than the sum of its own children — the footer overflows it in Figma.)
+
+The Figma button component is implemented once as a reusable pill (56px tall,
+100px radius, 40px icon container, 32px glyph) with filled and outlined
+variants, used in the Guild, Team, Spears and Expeditions.
+
+Section labels were audited individually — they are **not** uniform: Guild,
+Keepers, Team and Spears are 24px italic magenta; Expeditions is the same in
+Fresh Green; Manifesto is 24px upright in Light Blue; Contact is **16px**
+upright in Fresh Green at 80%.
+
+**Validation.** All 15 new assets return HTTP 200 from localhost. No broken
+images. `tsc --noEmit` passes.
+
+## Blockers
+
+1. **Grinder licence — decide before this can be published.** The three
+   `.woff2` carry **no copyright, trademark, licence or vendor string** in
+   their name table, and their version string says they were produced with
+   FontCreator, so they are not a vendor-original distribution. RaidGuild's own
+   `BRAND-ASSETS.md` documents only Mazius Display, EB Garamond and Ubuntu
+   Mono — Grinder is not in it. That may simply mean it was commissioned and
+   the docs are behind, but it cannot be told apart from a commercial font with
+   its metadata stripped. They are gitignored until someone produces the EULA
+   or the commission agreement. If it is a RaidGuild commission, re-injecting
+   copyright and licence into the name table before publishing would be worth
+   doing.
+
+2. **Two hero/manifesto videos are low-resolution.** `hero-light.mp4` is
+   760×472 and `manifesto.mp4` is 760×324, both scaled ~1.9× to 1440. They look
+   soft in motion; the posters are native resolution so first paint is sharp.
+   Cause: Figma clamps video export to 4096px per side and the Light frame is
+   7759 tall, so the whole-page render came out 760 wide. `hero-dark.mp4` is
+   fine at 1440×934 because `Video / Dark` (`117:3325`) is a top-level node and
+   exported natively.
+   **Fix:** duplicate `Escena de viento 1` (`117:4889`) and the manifesto
+   `Section` (`26:6542`) in Figma, drag the copies to the root of the canvas,
+   and export each as MP4. Drop the two files in `public/videos/venture/` —
+   no code change needed.
+
+3. **`next build` has not been run.** It could not be run in the environment
+   this work was done in (a Linux VM with a macOS `node_modules`, missing the
+   Linux SWC binary). Please confirm a clean build.
+
+## Known non-blocking issues
+
+- **React hydration mismatch in the contact form.** Radix `FormLabel` /
+  `FormControl` ids differ between server and client. **Pre-existing, not
+  introduced by this work.** Visible in the console; does not affect layout.
+- **14 Unicode arrows remain inside cards** — 5 on the steward cards, 5 in
+  Active Spears, 4 in Expeditions. Section-level chrome was converted to the
+  Figma pills; card interiors are a further pass.
+- **Steward cards show `ST—01 ↗`.** Figma's card (`19:4245`) is portrait, role,
+  name, project only — no index, no arrow. Left in place because removing
+  visible content is a product decision.
+- **Expeditions shows an `01 / 04` counter** that Figma does not have. The
+  prev/next buttons were removed (they exist only in `CODE BASELINE`); the
+  track still scrolls by drag and trackpad.
+- **`ico-handbook.svg` is committed but unused.** Not an oversight — there is
+  no `ico_handbook` instance anywhere in the Figma page; it is an orphan
+  component. The Guild's handbook link does not exist in the target either.
+- **`hero-dark-poster.png` is 5.1 MB** (2880×1866). Worth compressing or
+  dropping to 1×.
+- **Card interiors in Spears and Expeditions have not been measured** against
+  Figma. The spec for the "Your edge problem" card is `117:2212`.
+- **`hero-landmarks-v1.png` was removed** — it has no equivalent in the final
+  target. `creed-moons-v1.png`, `creed-flyer-v1.png`,
+  `project-ship-schematic-v1.webp` and the two `raidguild-panorama*` files are
+  now unreferenced and can be deleted once you agree.
+
+## A note on what was wrong before
+
+Three things in the previous state were not "a video replaced by a still" but
+simply the wrong artwork: the manifesto backdrop (moons + flyer, where Figma
+has a desert walking machine), the Contact illustration (a ship schematic,
+where Figma has a druid), and Louchi's portrait (rendered as the initials
+`LO`, though the portrait does exist in Figma as an image fill on `19:4234`).
+Worth knowing if you are reconciling against the earlier audit.

+# Venture Beyond integration
+
+Design and Figma asset handoff: Luis Blanco (Louchi), https://estudioblanco.org.
+
+Source: https://github.com/luisblancoach/website/tree/handoff/venture-beyond-dekan
+Imported tip: a195359. All seven original commits are retained as merge ancestry,
+including their original author information. HANDOFF.md is the original handoff;
+this document records subsequent integration decisions rather than rewriting it.
+
+Integration decisions:
+- Use self-hosted Afacad Flux with CSS slants instead of the missing Grinder cuts.
+  Keep Ubuntu body and Ubuntu Mono supporting type from the handoff.
+- Preserve the local foliage front door and direct inquiry route.
+- Include Talent & Placement as a proposed spear; keep the handbook accessible.
+- Retain the supplied illustrations, palettes, icons, portraits and video scenes.
+- Make section sizing responsive rather than enforcing Figma heights when content grows.
+
+Clean scene exports supplied by Louchi in Assets.zip on 2026-09-09:
+- Video/wind.mp4 → hero-light.mp4 (2200 × 940).
+- Video/forest.mp4 → hero-dark.mp4 (2184 × 948).
+- Video/Animated Scene.mp4 → manifesto.mp4 (2200 × 940).
+These replace the previous preview videos with background-only artwork. Web copies
+use H.264 CRF 23, yuv420p and fast-start metadata, with audio removed. Posters are
+extracted from the matching exports. Playback pauses offscreen, in hidden tabs,
+and for reduced-motion preferences; the existing hover discovery layer is retained.
+
+Walkthrough parity pass:
+- Continuous word ticker and counter-moving statistics band, with pause controls
+  and static, wrapped content for reduced-motion preferences.
+- Lighter dark-mode card surfaces; stronger interaction colors apply on hover/focus.
+- Contact artwork uses the genuinely transparent professions/Druid 2.png export
+  from Assets.zip instead of the earlier cream-backed PNG.
+- Night navigation/theme switch use navy surfaces; the switch stays separate.
+Statistics remain unverified mockup values, not newly validated claims.
+
+Loop experiment: hero playback uses separate *-pingpong.mp4 derivatives, with
+the original forward sequence followed by its reverse (duplicate endpoint frames
+omitted). The original clean exports remain available for comparison. Reverse
+segments are processed in bounded 48-frame chunks to limit encoding memory use.
+The browser plays one continuous file rather than switching players at the seam.
+The creed/manifesto remains forward-only because of its flying bird. Its
+manifesto-crossfade.mp4 derivative blends the final 0.75 seconds with the opening
+0.75 seconds, then loops to the next forward frame without reversing motion.
+Statistical and portfolio copy from the design remains mockup content requiring
+editorial verification before release. No Grinder files are bundled or required.
