 ## Where things stand
 
@@ -14,12 +14,10 @@ Feasibility is done and the verdict was **build it** (see `FEASIBILITY.md`). All
 
 Done so far: OAuth login (loopback dev client; hosted-client path ready pending a real key + deploy) with D1-backed state/session stores; lexicon convention tests; **read-only adapters** for Bluesky (profile + posts, replies filtered), standard.site (documents/publications, `pub.leaflet.document` fallback only when no standard.site docs exist), and sifa (profile/positions/education/skills, defensively parsed) — fetch-injected modules in `apps/web/src/lib/server/atmosphere/` with unit tests, plus `detectSources` (drives the ADR 0012 default section order) and a source-overview admin page; **site/page authoring** — record builders, PDS writes through the OAuth session, and the `/admin` + `/admin/pages` CRUD routes; **the professional-presence theme** — the render pipeline in `apps/web/src/lib/server/render/` and the public routes at `/s/[handle]`. Remaining, roughly in dependency order:
 
-- **Theme UX overhaul, remaining tail** (the overhaul landed 2026-08-24 and re-critiqued at **31/40** (from 25) — snapshots in `.impeccable/critique/`; the follow-up round landed 2026-08-25 as PR #22):
-  1. *Content* — replace the "TODO TODO" placeholder on jzweifel.dev/about; the reference instance demos the product. Also: set `contactEmail` in /admin so the new "Write to me" / "Say hello →" affordances render (they answer the re-critique's P0 — "Open to" advertised availability with no way to act).
-  2. *Enable Image Transformations on the mooring.page zone* (dashboard toggle) so the new `/blob` route (ADR 0015, Accepted 2026-08-25) actually resizes — until then it proxies originals (≈1.45MB of hero imagery per first view).
-  3. *Lexicon republication* — `heroSection.style` and the site record's `contactEmail` are new optional fields; republish the on-network schema when convenient (runbook §§3–4).
-  4. *Record-level career curation fields* (decided 2026-08-24, staged): the template now clamps the sifa summary and caps skills, but curation (hide/order/feature for positions, education, skills — e.g. de-emphasizing a high-school entry or dropping generic skills) should become `careerSection` fields edited in admin, once the admin UI grows a section editor.
-  5. *Re-critique after the next deploy*; residual known gaps: no RSS, mono-metadata density (flat 10.9–11.5px cluster — the detector's one finding), postcard hero unexercised by a real record, career-before-writing default order questioned when posts carry the personality.
+- **Theme UX overhaul, remaining tail** (critique trend 25 → 31 → 29 across three dual-assessment rounds — snapshots in `.impeccable/critique/`; the 29 reflects newly *discovered* pre-existing issues, not regression, and the current PR fixes the mechanical ones: per-site favicon (was the stock Svelte logo — the round-3 P0), career records sorted newest-first (was raw PDS record order), `yearSpan` tolerant of sifa's formless date strings, the career "More" disclosure made reversible, visible contact address in the footer, banner `srcset` + 768 blob width, absolute `og:image` through /blob, `color-scheme`/`theme-color` metas):
+  1. *Record-level career curation fields* (decided 2026-08-24, staged): hide/order/feature for positions, education, skills — e.g. de-emphasizing a high-school entry or dropping generic imported skills ("Software Development", "Windows 7"); becomes `careerSection` fields once the admin grows a section editor. The round-3 review sharpened the framing: "honest by default, curatable by choice."
+  2. *Design questions queued from round 3*: an airmail **sign-off block** closing the page (postmark/restated contact/handle — the metaphor currently peaks in the first 300px and the page ends unresolved); whether email should be the only action on an Atmosphere-native product (no follow/DM intent anywhere); scheme-aware site color overrides (a single background override pins both schemes); mono-metadata density (the detector's standing flat-type finding).
+  3. *Residual*: no RSS; postcard hero still unexercised by a real record.
 - **Thin deletion-honoring cache** over the direct PDS reads (ADR 0010 §4) — deliberately reordered below hosting on 2026-08-07: rendering reads live per request, which is correct until there is traffic to cache. Revisit once sites are actually served; when it comes up, start from Jetstream v2's snapshot+tail replay (`research/2026-08-14-bluesky-protocol-services.md`) rather than a relay consumer.
 - Later, when token-refresh races become real: a Durable-Object `requestLock` for the OAuth client.
