This release adds the two-study reviewed index and the HD status-dot comparison beside the existing delimiter-title study. The older 92-pair catalog remains a draft collection, not 92 additional approvals. All 92 catalog projects complete their documented clean rebuilds: 75 first-pass movies match retained bytes and 17 differ in decoded frames. The storytelling section includes 60 sampled-source case studies and a story-assembly guide. The 200-study target is not complete.
Recorded HD candidate preferences
2 / 200
Two independent HD preference reports with published original/remake pairs, code, SVG and Resolve guidance. These are agent judgments, not official approvals. The delimiter overlaps the draft catalog; revisions and proxy preferences add no studies.
Storytelling cases reviewed
60 / 60
Independent agent source-grounding against sampled images and timed ASR; not a human continuous-viewing pass.
Playable catalog draft pairs
92 / 200
42 have source/input/render-manifest bindings; 50 have narrower receipt evidence. Two entries withheld; zero accepted-study credit.
Existing catalog ZIPs executed
92 / 92
75 first-pass byte matches; 17 decoded-frame differences. All preserve timing and video properties. 478 tests run across 41 packages; 51 packages have no tests. Execution is not editorial acceptance.
Story sources acquired
60 / 60
Newest 60 playable films in the September 5 audited inventory; not a current-channel latest-60 claim.
Storytelling cases published
60 / 60
270 story windows, 180 case stills and three additional guide stills. Timed paraphrased transcript indexes and all 60 independent sampled-source reviews are retained.
Earlier playable draft groups
36
Reported by the existing public workbench. Not newly accepted studies.
Independent critic log
Status dot / HD round 1
Earlier report: candidate A preferred narrowly; recorded September 17 at 20:23:27 UTC.
The published page preserves the existing independent report, not a new judgment from this release. Native Resolve execution remains unverified.
Follow-up message / HD round 1
Earlier report: original B preferred narrowly; recorded September 17 at 20:16:57 UTC.
The report identified cramped, square-dotted Nice!!! punctuation. HD-r02 is rendered but has no fresh verdict; technical rebuild success cannot replace that review.
Ultrafast / HD round 1
Earlier report: original A preferred narrowly; recorded September 17 at 20:19:53 UTC.
The report identified the t/r/a spacing. HD-r02 changes the r offset while retaining the clock; its new render has no fresh verdict.
Delimiter-first title / round 1
Original preferred after hosted playback and frame inspection.
The remake's connector was too compressed and too far from its bracket. Repaired in round 2.
Delimiter-first title / round 2
Original preferred by a fresh blind critic.
The remake's deployment lettering still looks pinched beside the wide parentheses. Round 3 preserves timing while revising type proportions.
Delimiter-first title / round 3
Remake preferred, moderate confidence. B was chosen before the identities were revealed.
The critic preferred coherent substring-based spacing. Actual 1× playback completed without reported drops; visual judgment came from decoded progression, not certified human continuous viewing.
Follow-up message / proxy round 1
Remake preferred at equal native 480p; no full-master acceptance or completed-study credit yet.
Browser host unavailable. All 31 frames were inspected, but independent moving playback and the public ZIP checks remain open.
Status dot / proxy round 1
Remake preferred at equal native 480p; no full-quality acceptance credit.
Cleaner edges can reflect the proxy's compression. A fresh 1080p original has been acquired; the new revision must be judged again.
Story-planning guide / targeted repair
Pass: the repair fixes the missing story-assembly method.
The critic inspected all linked source frames and speech anchors. Browser visual-readability remains unverified while the preview host is unavailable.
Scheduled Tasks / HD round 1
Original preferred narrowly; no win awarded.
Remake prompt/caret and plus/microphone strokes need firmer contrast. Timing, spacing, container geometry and secondary-label hierarchy should stay unchanged.
Storytelling / 60 cases
56 first-pass source-grounding passes; four revisions passed targeted rechecks.
Pass scope is sampled visual evidence and timed machine transcription, not human continuous playback or validation of source claims.
Editing catalog / 92 draft pairs
Accepted for publication as a draft catalog after independent asset-association, media and usability checks.
Scene-complete SVG deliverables are the largest remaining gap. An editable plant prop is not a complete selection-and-context scene. No fidelity or blind-win approval was given.
Publication gate / round 2
Concrete bypass fixed; independent reproduction and all nine regression checks pass.
This is technical publication validation, not a blind visual win or acceptance of the editing library.
