Build brief: Home page (joining the pieces)

Copy everything below the line into a new session opened in the life-itself/design repo. Outside the repo (Claude Design, Open Design): paste this plus the contents of 00-home/common.md, and attach the files it names. Suggested model: Opus 5.5. Run it once one or more pieces have a standalone build; it can be repeated as more arrive.

You are assembling the home page of an animated, poetic website for Seeds of Renaissance (SoR), a movement and vision for civilizational renewal. First read projects/sor-experiences-2026/experiences/00-home/common.md (shared fonts, colours, tone, words, and the start/end background of each piece) and projects/sor-experiences-2026/experiences/00-home/brief.md (the whole page: feeling and script).

Your task

The home page is one long scroll made of five pieces, each built separately as a standalone page:

Check which builds exist (bd list --parent design-323 also shows progress). Then:

1. Write the frame contract to projects/sor-experiences-2026/experiences/00-home/CONTRACT.md, based on what the builds actually do and extending common.md: shared tokens (fonts, colours, type scale), each piece's start/end background, how each is driven (scroll-scrubbed vs plays once reached), CSS scoping (.x-<name>), asset paths, how a piece is mounted on the page.
2. Reconcile the pieces to it with small edits in their build/ folders, not rewrites. List anything that needs a bigger change for the user rather than doing it.
3. Assemble projects/sor-experiences-2026/experiences/00-home/build/index.html: all available pieces in order on one scroll, shared tokens loaded once, each piece's CSS and JS still scoped. For pieces without a build yet, use the corresponding section of the rough sketch (projects/sor-experiences-2026/experiences/00-home/sketch/index.html) as a placeholder.
4. Tune the whole: the cuts between pieces (white → black → dark grey → black → white), the scroll length of each piece, and the overall rhythm. The brief wants rhythm with tension: fast then slow, a sudden cut after a long build, nothing monotonous.

Reference

The rough sketch of the whole page shows the intended order and rhythm: https://claude.ai/artifact/KgQeyCfkyghWp3HPnJCRf3 (source: projects/sor-experiences-2026/experiences/00-home/sketch/index.html).

Done when

• build/index.html plays every available piece in one scroll, at phone width and desktop.
• CONTRACT.md written.
• Tell the user what you reconciled, what needs bigger changes, and how the rhythm feels.
• Record progress on beads task design-323.11 (bd update design-323.11 --notes "..."), including which pieces are integrated.
