Browsers held a stale shared.css (no Cache-Control on .css, weeks-old
Last-Modified → long heuristic freshness), so the .brand .logo rule added
on 2026-09-07 never applied for returning visitors and the brand wrapped
onto its own nav row on every page except Hephaestus. All 13 pages now
link shared.css?v=YYYYMMDD; bump it on every shared.css change (GOTCHAS).
- inline chain-link logo in every top nav and the two chain-emoji hero marks
(index, sirius/register); shared.css sizes/colours it via .l1/.l2
- homepage hero figure: Theseus opening hello.bch (BCDN badge, no DNS)
- Open Graph + Twitter card meta on all 13 silentmode.st pages, image
brand/og.png (1200x630, rendered from the brand kit)
- contrast: --dim 5e6678 -> 7a8496 (3.4:1 -> 5.1:1); default .btn no longer
off-palette blue with 3.9:1 white text, now panel2/ink; nav links 9px pad
- figure.shot styles for screenshots; tools/img/ holds the Theseus and
Ariadne-Android shots for the download cards (wired in a follow-up, the
tools page is mid-ship in another session)
- scripts/serve-site.mjs: zero-dep static server for previewing site/
site/brand/index.html and site/sirius/register.html were still on the old
5-tab layout (Tools · Prometheus · Sirius · Helios · Hermes). Every other
silentmode.st page had already converged on the 6-tab pantheon
(Theseus · Prometheus · Sirius · Hephaestus · Helios · Hermes) via parallel-
session updates. Bringing these two into alignment.
No .X suffix on any label — pantheon labels are bare across the umbrella
site; the .X TLD form is reserved for the future standalone product sites
(theseus.x, sirius.x, hephaestus.x, prometheus.x, helios.x, hermes.x).
Verified live: both pages return the 6 canonical labels in order.
Two brand kits, one design language. Each site now has a /brand/ page + a
favicon; every page I own on silentmode.st links the SVG favicon (parallel
sessions can add the same line to Sirius/Hephaestus/Choose when they touch
those files).
Silent Mode kit (site/brand/, site/favicon.svg):
Mark — two interlocking chain links, one muted (#8b98a9) + one acid
(#d6ff3d). The umbrella family mark.
Logo, wordmark, avatar (400x400 social), banner (1500x500 social header).
Brand page shows every asset with SVG download, colour palette
(tokens matching shared.css), usage do's and don'ts.
navigate.st kit (navigate.st/brand/, navigate.st/favicon.svg):
Mark — compass rose (N acid, other points muted) inside a chain-link
ring. Ring keeps it in the Silent Mode family without cloning the
SilentMode mark; compass says what this specific site is (the
wayfinding front door).
Same asset set: logo, wordmark, avatar, banner. Standalone brand page
(no shared.css — navigate.st runs single-file).
nginx (VPS): added two locations to sites-enabled/navigate-st so /favicon.svg
and /brand/* resolve from /opt/silent-mode/navigate-brand/. Rollback point
at sites-enabled/navigate-st.bak.1788146513. silentmode.st serves both from
disk under /opt/silent-mode/site/ — no vhost change needed.
Verified live: all favicon + brand URLs return 200 on both hosts.
