Chapter 05 · Drafted

How it all came
together.

Pending. Conclusion arrives after more of the Lab has been rebuilt on the new surface.

What this chapter will cover
  • What landed — paper + grid + type + labels applied across the Lab.
  • What shifted — the gap between the April plan and what was actually built.
  • What it unlocked — dark mode as a proper zone, not a saved filter.
  • Unresolved — anything from earlier chapters that the full reskin changed our minds on.

Writing a conclusion at the moment of shipping encourages retrofitting narrative. Leaving it blank is a forcing function — we have to actually live with the thing before we claim what it did.
