Websites now build with or without photographs, and your shop recipe book is filed. Next: the first real shop recipes — held up only by four credentials only you can provide.

The system can already fetch real, credited stock photos that pass every check — proven live today. But nothing calls that from the photo upload page yet, so every tenant photo is still uploaded by hand. The next step wires the fetch into the page with the photographer's credit shown.

A shop with no photos gets good ones in one click instead of an empty frame.

render/stock.py retrieve() proven live 2026-09-11 (3/3 slots, 0 errors, pinned IDs, imgix server-side crops). No caller in platform/server.py yet. Wiring = retrieve on the asset page + save with credit + existing audit.

• render/stock.py — retriever, live-proven, zero callers
• platform/server.py — asset page where it plugs in

The design advice the system gives comes from books, guides and example collections. Each one needs its licence checked and its lessons written down in one place, so nobody has to wonder where an idea came from. One source (your recipe book's design references) is partly done; four small write-ups remain.

Unattributed sources become untraceable decisions.

refero/design.md extracts + property index; Vercel patterns licence-verify + node; commerce-agents extraction record; motion consulted-libraries list; Lucide rule (picked, ISC, installed, unused by catalogue).

• registry/registry.json — 142 source rows with licence state
• skills/design/references/ — where extraction records live

Your recipe book for shops arrived and is filed. The first build from it is the shared product contract plus the base shop recipe, proven by one product that passes and one that is correctly refused. The 17 existing shop folders use the older taxonomy and will need reconciling, not rebuilding from scratch.

Shops are the revenue surface; the recipe book is the specification they build from.

0 of 41 v3 categories with recipe folders

LIBRARY-v3 Part 18 order step 1: product.schema.json and the commerce-base recipe. 41 categories = 32 physical (Part 4) + 8 service (Part 5) + B2B overlay counted once. The 17 existing recipes/*/ dirs predate the v3 taxonomy.

• recipes/LIBRARY-v3.md — the v3 authoring source, 19 parts
• recipes/validate.py — existing recipe checks

Spec: LIBRARY-v3 Part 18

Risk: The 17 existing recipe folders use the older taxonomy; building v3 alongside without reconciling forks the layer.

This page. It shows what is done, what is next, and what is waiting on you, with proof attached to every finished item. Open any card for the plain-English version, expand it for the technical detail. Tell me if anything on it is wrong — correcting the board is the fastest way to keep it honest.

You should never have to read the code to know the state of the project.

status/board.json -> status/build.py (stdlib, <1s) -> status/dist/index.html. build.py refuses a done card without evidence and verifies every files[].path exists. Facts measured at build time.

When someone uploads a photo for the main subject, they now mark where the subject is so crops never cut heads off. The system can fetch real credited stock photos that pass every check. And where no photo exists at all, every world shows a labelled empty frame — never a fake-looking gradient, never a broken image. Proven with screenshots for all three worlds.

Photography is 60–70% of perceived quality; every tier of the supply now proves itself or stays silent.

save_asset(..., focal) refuses subject slots without a point (migration 0016 fx/fy); nine-point picker in site_upload, batch filing excludes subject slots; stock.record keys the slot want so the audit crop gate passes; gate 3f requires each slot component's own missing-asset treatment; cta-monument region renamed k-mon__figure -> k-mon__fig so mark_assets reaches it (it never fired before).

• platform/generate.py — save_asset focal validation, assets_of threading
• platform/server.py — focal picker, edge enforcement, batch exclusion
• render/stock.py — Tier-2 record with want-keyed ratios
• render/gate.py — 3f missing-asset treatment requirement

Your recipe book for shops — 41 kinds of business, what each shop must ask, and what must refuse — arrived today and is saved word for word as the source the shop-building work follows. Nothing in it has been built yet; filing it was the step that unblocked the recipe pause.

The shop work was paused waiting for exactly this document.

Persisted verbatim at recipes/LIBRARY-v3.md: 19 parts (0–18), taxonomy 32+8+overlay, Part 18 implementation order. Recipes pause lifted on arrival.

An earlier version pretended test billing was the real thing. It was deleted — thousands of lines removed — and only honest test-mode billing with a read-only live-key check remains. Live billing stays waiting on you (see the top card).

Work described as finished that was not is the failure this board exists to prevent.
