Where this output sits

Source evidence›Candidate evidence›Human decision›Audit acceptance›Release›Production

Source evidence, candidate evidence, human decision, audit acceptance, release and production are six separate things. This step produces the highlighted one and nothing further.

Scope

Turns measured typography evidence into a coherent fitting plan: one font choice, per-role weight and colour, and per-paragraph size, line height, alignment and anchors — with one scale policy per paragraph and no per-line squeezing.

This role is allowed to

Choose the closest supported bundled font
Fit at paragraph level
Record approximation confidence

No internal sequence is documented for this step — only the contract above and below it. Nothing was invented to fill the gap.

HOLD

Nothing continues on a failed gate. Uncertainty becomes an explicit HOLD, and no later step may read an unanswered item as an accepted one.

Non-scope — what this role does NOT own

Semantic content type
Changing wording to fit
Severe per-line compression

Explicitly forbidden

Treat TYPE as a semantic category
Compress individual lines severely
Change wording to fit

Performer: Deterministic typography and fitting solver.
Class: Deterministic
AI boundary: None.

Training information

Not a trained component. No model, no weights, no training corpus. Behaviour is fixed by code and configuration, and identical inputs must produce identical outputs.

Deterministic validation and acceptance gates

One scale policy per paragraph
No clipping, collision, broken shaping or invisible text

HOLD and failure behaviour

Failure codes this step may emit:

TYPE_NO_FONT
TYPE_OVERFLOW
TYPE_COLLISION
TYPE_SEVERE_COMPRESSION
TYPE_SHAPING_FAILURE

Uncertainty becomes an explicit HOLD. Omission never converts uncertainty into acceptance, and no downstream step may treat an unanswered item as an accepted one.

Active tool

Status: Active tool
Run / inspect: node tools/build_v7_runtime.js, then tools/audit_v7.py for the fit and collision gate
Input: CAP line/token geometry + ROLE/TITLE + font inventory
Output: renderer runtime data (data/renderer_data.js)

Dependencies

Node.js (present on this machine)
Python 3.12 for the audit step (NOT installed)
Bundled font inventory

Why this is the active version

V7 is an explicit append-only successor to V6 Typography Alignment, which succeeds V5 and V4. It is the highest typography generation containing a working runtime builder. Note that build_v7_runtime.js is JavaScript and therefore runnable on this machine; the audit gate is Python and is not.

1 archived version(s). Historical packages are never deleted or mutated; large ones are referenced with verified paths rather than copied, because the source archive is 11 GB.

Known limitations

The runtime builder is JavaScript and runs here; the fit-and-collision audit gate is Python and cannot run on this machine.
Font matching is approximate — the original newspaper faces are not available, so a closest supported bundled font is used and the approximation is recorded.

Security and privacy

Operates on frozen local artifacts. No credentials required. No data leaves the machine.

Cost behaviour

No provider calls. No metered cost. Compute is local.

Copying a tool into this repository does not authorise running it, retraining it, calling a model, or processing a new issue. No paid call may be made without the owner's explicit authorisation and a hard cost cap.

Recorded events

No feedback events recorded yet. The ledger exists and is append-only: feedback/FEEDBACK_LEDGER.jsonl.

Editing feedback is not possible: a change is a new event whose supersedes names the one it replaces, and the original stays exactly as written.

Original page pixels are the visual authority. CAP owns the exact captured text.
