builtbykev e257474cc8 report: design-vs-build gap audit — 61 items enumerated, 18 absent

Package specs/design-reference (Jul 22) audited against the CURRENT repo
(bf7c0a3, ~9 days later). No ~/vyndr_design exists; the in-repo copy is the
package. Every claim is a direct file/grep/count check, not the harness that
returned a silent false in Wave 3.

61 implementable items enumerated: BUILT-TO-SPEC 20, BUILT-BUT-DRIFTED 7,
PARTIAL 16, ABSENT 18 (+1 CANNOT DETERMINE: 19-screen mobile parity needs a
visual pass).

Largest single gap: the glyph library — 38 of 83 designed SVGs are wired (46%),
and the design implies 74 display archetypes against a 41-entry backend
registry, so the archetype system is roughly half the designed scope.

Drift found on surfaces built recently: the book comparison wired 07-29 renders
per-book lines but has NO crown, NO disagreement axis, NO SPLIT chip and NO
movement strip — a simpler version than the S2 design. The mobile tab bar has 5
tabs but not the designed READ-FAB. Calibration gating disagrees with the design
(our n>=20 vs designed N30).

Wave-2 reclassification: Newsletter DESIGN EXISTS (S5 The Report is fully
designed) — the earlier status pull was wrong to call it a design gap. Live
tracking and Slip reader remain genuinely design-missing.

Model linkages named: Price Triplet waits on the EV layer producing
p_win/ev_pct/model_odds; the S4 calibration curve waits on the n-threshold
decision plus accrued buckets, while the CLV chips can build on the repaired
instrument now.

Ordered build list in six dependency waves: self-contained first (glyphs,
primitives, boundary-channel blue), then scanner-nudge-gated, model-gated,
resolution-pipeline-gated (share-card masters cannot ship — the tail has no
generation step and no trigger), licensing-gated (book logos, push-to-book),
then the large surface builds.

Raw Blame History

VYNDR — DESIGN-vs-BUILD GAP AUDIT (report-only, 2026-07-31)

Package: specs/design-reference/ (Jul 22 — the in-repo copy; there is no ~/vyndr_design, CANNOT DETERMINE if a separate extract exists outside the repo). Audited against the CURRENT repo (bf7c0a3), which is ~9 days AFTER the package. Nothing built, wired, or fixed.

Harness note: every "built" claim below is a direct file/grep/count check, not the {found:False}-on-except harness that produced a silent false in Wave 3. Live probes used curl.

ENUMERATION — 61 IMPLEMENTABLE ITEMS

(Excluded as explicitly NOT product code by the handoff: image-slot.js, .image-slots.state.json, ios-frame.jsx. Excluded as design-time only: dashed safe zones.)

A. TOKEN SYSTEM — 6 items

#	item	state
A1	Surfaces `#06060B` void / `#0E0E14` card / `#14141E` elevated / `#101018` hairline / `#0A0A10` deep	BUILT-BUT-DRIFTED — void in 18 files, elevated in 7, but `#0E0E14` card in only 1 file
A2	Signal green `#00D4A0`, ONE meaning	BUILT-TO-SPEC (34 files)
A3	Amber `#FFB347` caution-only / Red `#FF4757` miss-only	BUILT-TO-SPEC (24 / 4 files)
A4	Text ramp `#F0F0F0`/`#B8BCC8`/`#707080`/`#4a4a58` + borders	BUILT-TO-SPEC (15 / 7 files)
A5	Inter + JetBrains Mono, tabular-nums	BUILT-TO-SPEC (self-hosted via `next/font`, S41)
A6	Grade colors + glow-A-tier-ONLY law	BUILT-TO-SPEC (`gradeGlows`, locked by `colorContract` tests)

B. BOUNDARY CHANNEL — 1 item

| B1 | Blue #8FB2DE boundary channel (edge-priced-out / no-market / line-not-priced), distinct from red REFUSAL + amber QUARANTINE | PARTIAL — the hex appears in only 2 files; NO MARKET (8) and PRICED OUT (4) copy exists, but the channel is not applied as a system-wide third colour law |

C. BRAND — 2 items

D. GLYPH LIBRARY — 1 item (the largest single gap)

| D1 | 83 archetype SVGs (74 display + 9 classifier-legacy) + MANIFEST → archetypes.js | PARTIAL — 38 of 83 wired (46%). 45 designed glyphs are unwired. Compounding: the design implies 74 display archetypes; the backend registry has 41. So the archetype system is ~half the designed scope. MANIFEST.md present and unused. |

E. NAMED PRIMITIVES — 28 items

#	item	state
E1	Movement strip (steps-not-curves, green-only-when-favouring, FLAT hairline)	ABSENT
E2	BookChips — 7 books, brand-colour mono wordmarks	BUILT-BUT-DRIFTED — `BookChip.tsx` + `lib/books.js` exist; not verified as the 7-book brand-colour tile set
E3	Best-number crown (green inset bar + BEST NUMBER chip + row tint)	ABSENT — `CrownBadge` not found; `BOOK_CROWN_ENABLED=false` and measured flat
E4	Disagreement axis (dots around the VYNDR reference line)	ABSENT
E5	SPLIT chip (amber when spread wide)	ABSENT
E6	Push-to-book (geo-gated, buttons never render disabled, affiliate microcopy verbatim)	PARTIAL — `bookLinks.js`/`affiliateConfig.js` exist, all books `enabled:false`; the designed geo-gating + microcopy not built. TEASER only today
E7	CLV chip `BEAT CLOSE +2.0` — colour by SIGN, never result	PARTIAL — `lib/clvBadge.js` exists, "BEAT CLOSE" in 3 files
E8	CLV aggregate on the record line (`BEAT CLOSE 61%` + AVG CLV)	PARTIAL — `beat_close_pct` computed behind the n≥20 gate
E9	Calibration curve (dots vs dashed perfect line, dot size = sample)	ABSENT — no `CalibrationCurve` component
E10	The Report email — dark billboard header + light paper body	PARTIAL — `newsletterService` builds an email; the designed hybrid dark/light template not built
E11	Report signup module	BUILT (`NewsletterCapture`)
E12	`/report` archive (每 issue shows its own day record)	ABSENT — `/report` redirects to `/blog`, no archive
E13	Scanner S6 marketless (blue void box, `NO MARKET` chip, priced-count CTA)	PARTIAL — `NoMarketState` ships; the designed blue-channel void box + player-specific CTA not verified
E14	Scanner S7 priced-line nudge (3 cases + typed-line mismatch)	BUILT (S79/S80 — `pricedLines`, per-selection + freshness)
E15	Price Triplet	BUILT-BUT-DRIFTED — renders, but the MODEL leg is `NO_MODEL` (see Phase 2)
E16	Share-card masters ×5 (settle 1080×1350, story, square, X 1200×675, record 1080×1350, article OG)	ABSENT as product — PNG masters exist in `exports/`; `ShareCard.tsx` has 0 importers
E17	`nudge(cell, up)` reaction primitive (`rx-up`/`rx-down` flash, data-events only)	ABSENT — `rx-up` = 0 files
E18	Boot stagger `vy-rowin` 60ms + `vy-arrive` hero-last	ABSENT — 0 files
E19	THE WIRE (timestamped entry, ~6s hold, tag coloured by meaning)	BUILT (`vyndr/Ticker`, real `/api/ticker` exhaust)
E20	⌘K palette	BUILT (`SearchModal` + `GlobalHosts`)
E21	Parlay math (decimal→American, same-game amber, grade −1 tier, stake 1.0/0.75/0.4u)	BUILT-BUT-DRIFTED — `parlayMath.js`/`parlayService` exist; stake-sizing ladder not verified
E22	Correlation builder	BUILT (`/parlay`, wired Wave 1)
E23	Streaks	BUILT (`/api/streaks`, lens-applied)
E24	Combat	PARTIAL (15 files reference it; no `/combat` route)
E25	Pitcher	BUILT (62 files; probable-pitcher pipeline live)
E26	Team-gradient matchup chips (10-12px, inside rows so the opacity ramp dims them)	PARTIAL — `linear-gradient(135deg` in 4 files, not the row-chip pattern
E27	Row-hover rationale	ABSENT — 0 files
E28	IntersectionObserver reveal + rail highlight	ABSENT — 0 files

F. ARTBOARD SURFACES — 13 items

F1 Landing	BUILT	F2 System terminal (desktop)	ABSENT as a route (`/system` 404; its INTELLIGENCE section = live `/intelligence`)
F3 Mobile 19 screens	PARTIAL — most screens exist; not audited screen-by-screen (CANNOT DETERMINE without a 19-way visual pass → Chrome audit)
F4 S2 line shopping	PARTIAL — `BookComparisonPanel` wired 07-29 but DRIFTED: renders per-book lines with no crown, no disagreement axis, no SPLIT chip, no movement strip — a simpler version than designed
F5 S3 article media (hero template + 4 archetypes + inline figures + article card + OG)	ABSENT except live `opengraph-image.tsx`
F6 S4 CLV / calibration	PARTIAL — CLV instrument repaired + `clv_distribution` behind n≥20; the curve visual is ABSENT
F7 S5 The Report	PARTIAL (see E10-E12)
F8 M2 crops ×5	ABSENT as product (masters exist in `exports/`)
F9 Offseason hub	ABSENT (`/offseason` 404)
F10 Season board (open→NOW→VYNDR triplet, ladder grouping)	ABSENT
F11 Kickoff countdown (computed live, ambient)	ABSENT (2 files mention "kickoff", no countdown)
F12 News / outlook feed + quiet-wire empty state	PARTIAL (`NewsWire` on Explore)
F13 Mobile tab bar SLATE·EXPLORE·READ-FAB·LEDGER·MORE	BUILT-BUT-DRIFTED — `BottomTabBar` has 5 tabs, but `READ-FAB` = 0 files: the raised 50px green circle with void V + 6px ring is not the designed FAB

G. HONESTY BEHAVIOURS (first-class items) — 10

COUNT

61 items — BUILT-TO-SPEC 20 · BUILT-BUT-DRIFTED 7 · PARTIAL 16 · ABSENT 18. (Plus 1 CANNOT DETERMINE: F3's 19-screen parity needs a visual pass.)

PHASE 2 — WAVE-2 RECLASSIFICATION + MODEL LINKAGES

The Wave-2 "design gap" three, corrected:

Newsletter → DESIGN EXISTS. S5 "The Report" is fully designed (hybrid email, signup, archive). Reclassify design-missing → design-exists-needs-build. My earlier status pull was wrong on this.
Live tracking → DESIGN STILL MISSING. No artboard in the package. design-missing-needs-design stands.
Slip reader → DESIGN STILL MISSING. Not in the package. design-missing-needs-design stands.

Model linkages (connect, don't isolate):

Price Triplet (E15/F-Price-Triplet artboard) waits on the EV layer producing p_win/ev_pct/ model_odds on served grades. We retired edge_pct from it 07-31; it renders honest NO_MODEL until the model fills the MODEL leg. Gated on model work, not design.
S4 CLV chip + calibration curve (E7/E8/E9/F6) are the designed home for the CLV instrument repaired 07-28 (closing_prob 59→406). The chips can build on today's data; the calibration curve needs the n-threshold decision resolved (G6: our n≥20 vs designed N30) and enough settled buckets to render non-hollow.

PHASE 3 — DEPENDENCIES + ORDERED BUILD LIST

WAVE D1 — self-contained, no dependency (build first):

D1 glyph library — lift the remaining 45 SVGs into archetypes.js (+ decide the 41-vs-74 archetype scope question). Pure asset work, MANIFEST provided.
A1 card token #0E0E14 (1 file → system-wide) · C1 vy-glitch naming reconciliation.
E17 nudge() · E18 boot stagger · E27 row-hover · E28 IntersectionObserver — pure CSS/JS primitives, all four ABSENT, all self-contained.
B1 boundary-channel blue as a real third colour law (touches S6/S7/PriceTriplet copy).
E26 team-gradient chips · F13 READ-FAB.

WAVE D2 — gated on ANOTHER BUILD ORDER (the scanner-nudge order the package references): 6. E13 Scanner S6 full treatment (blue void box + priced-count CTA + player-specific path).

WAVE D3 — gated on MODEL work: 7. E15 Price Triplet MODEL leg ← EV layer producing p_win/ev_pct/model_odds. 8. E9 calibration curve ← resolve n≥20 vs N30, accrue buckets. E7/E8 CLV chips can go earlier (instrument is repaired).

WAVE D4 — gated on the RESOLUTION PIPELINE (Wave 3 found it unreachable): 9. E16 share-card masters ×5 + F8 M2 crops ← the resolve fanout has no share-card generation step and no trigger. Masters exist in exports/; they cannot ship as product until the tail fires.

WAVE D5 — gated on ASSETS / LICENSING: 10. E2 BookChip brand tiles (licensed book logos — image-slot overlay designed for exactly this) · headshot slots · E6 push-to-book (also gated on affiliate approval — every book enabled:false).

WAVE D6 — large surface builds (design complete, no blocker but big): 11. F9/F10/F11 Offseason hub + season board + kickoff countdown (also sport-boundary adjacent). 12. F5 S3 article media · E10/E12 The Report email + archive · E1/E3/E4/E5 the S2 line-shopping primitive set (movement strip, crown, disagreement axis, SPLIT) — note E3 crown is additionally held by measurement (crown OFF, measured flat).
