### Task T005 - Import approved brand logo sources

**Started**: 2026-06-01 18:27 **Completed**: 2026-06-01 18:27 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Copied the reviewed WebP brand logo sources into package-local Astro asset paths.
* Verified destination hashes match the source hashes recorded in `asset-provenance-notes.md`.
* Did not copy PNG sources because the WebP variants are the intended optimized package-local imports.

**Files Changed**:

* `public-website/src/assets/brand/factionos-logo.webp` - Copied from tracked brand source.
* `public-website/src/assets/brand/factionos-logo-square.webp` - Copied from tracked brand source.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: Kept source-optimized page media in `src/assets/` instead of `public/`.

### Task T007 - Create typed media registry

**Started**: 2026-06-01 18:29 **Completed**: 2026-06-01 18:31 **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added `websiteMediaByKey` registry with local Astro image imports, alt text, dimensions, source paths, website paths, byte sizes, SHA-256 hashes, status, intended use, and provenance notes.
* Added exhaustive key handling through `getWebsiteMediaAsset`.
* Preserved conditional status for showcase records and launch-ready status only for scoped brand identity assets.

**Files Changed**:

* `public-website/src/lib/media.ts` - Created typed website media registry and helpers.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: Centralized media metadata so components consume the same image, alt, dimension, and provenance contract.
* Trust boundary enforcement: Kept asset use constrained to typed keys.

### Task T008 - Create optimized media component pattern

**Started**: 2026-06-01 18:32 **Completed**: 2026-06-01 18:36 **Duration**: 4 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added an Astro component that renders registry-backed media through `astro:assets` `Image`.
* Enforced non-empty alt text, intrinsic aspect ratio, responsive widths, loading policy, quality and format options, and deterministic reduced-motion fallback support when a media record declares `fallbackKey`.
* Kept provenance text opt-in so pages do not accidentally display release-status copy.

**Files Changed**:

* `public-website/src/components/media/OptimizedMedia.astro` - Created reusable optimized media component.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Accessibility and platform compliance: Throws on empty alt text and uses image alt from the typed registry by default.
* State freshness on re-entry: Reduced-motion fallback is CSS media-query driven and does not retain runtime state.
* Contract alignment: Component accepts only `WebsiteMediaKey` values from the registry.

### Task T009 - Create Open Graph fallback image

**Started**: 2026-06-01 18:37 **Completed**: 2026-06-01 18:39 **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Generated `og-default.png` as a 1200x630 PNG from the approved `assets/brand/factionos-logo.webp` source using the local Sharp dependency.
* Verified output dimensions, byte size, SHA-256 hash, and visual framing.
* Added the fallback image to the typed media registry as `brand.ogDefault`.

**Files Changed**:

* `public-website/src/assets/brand/og-default.png` - Created static social preview fallback.
* `public-website/src/lib/media.ts` - Added `brand.ogDefault` registry entry.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase13-session05-asset-pipeline-and-brand-media-prep/asset-provenance-notes.md` - Recorded generated fallback source, output, bytes, and hash.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Trust boundary enforcement: Derived the fallback only from approved tracked brand media.
* Contract alignment: Recorded fallback dimensions, status, and alt text in the registry.

### Task T010 - Update site data social defaults

**Started**: 2026-06-01 18:40 **Completed**: 2026-06-01 18:42 **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Replaced the favicon social-image default with the registry-backed `brand.ogDefault` image path.
* Changed Twitter card posture to `summary_large_image`.
* Added default social image width, height, MIME type, and alt text while keeping static website identity and no-tracking posture unchanged.

**Files Changed**:

* `public-website/src/data/site.ts` - Wired social defaults to the approved fallback media registry entry.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: Site defaults now consume the same registry-backed social image metadata used by components.

### Task T011 - Update metadata fallback resolution

**Started**: 2026-06-01 18:43 **Completed**: 2026-06-01 18:44 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Added social image width, height, MIME type, and Twitter card override fields to the metadata contract.
* Added positive integer normalization for social image dimensions.
* Kept social image URL resolution on `getAbsoluteSiteUrl`, so imported Astro asset paths become absolute URLs.

**Files Changed**:

* `public-website/src/lib/metadata.ts` - Extended social image metadata resolution.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Failure path completeness: Invalid social image dimensions fall back to known defaults instead of emitting bad metadata.
* Contract alignment: Resolved metadata now matches complete SEO tag requirements.

### Task T012 - Update SEO social image output

**Started**: 2026-06-01 18:45 **Completed**: 2026-06-01 18:48 **Duration**: 3 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added Open Graph secure image URL, MIME type, width, and height tags.
* Passed social image metadata through base, content, legal, and post layouts.
* Allowed article routes to use content collection hero image metadata when provided, while falling back to the default social image otherwise.

**Files Changed**:

* `public-website/src/components/seo/Seo.astro` - Emitted complete Open Graph/Twitter social image metadata.
* `public-website/src/layouts/BaseLayout.astro` - Forwarded social image metadata fields.
* `public-website/src/layouts/ContentLayout.astro` - Forwarded social image metadata fields.
* `public-website/src/layouts/LegalLayout.astro` - Forwarded social image metadata fields.
* `public-website/src/layouts/PostLayout.astro` - Mapped article hero images into SEO metadata when available.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: SEO output fields now match the resolved metadata contract.
* Failure path completeness: Unsupported article image formats fall back to default image type metadata.

### Task T013 - Refine favicon SVG

**Started**: 2026-06-01 18:49 **Completed**: 2026-06-01 18:50 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Reworked the favicon from a letter mark into a small-size compass mark aligned with the approved brand imagery.
* Preserved SVG pass-through placement and accessible title behavior.

**Files Changed**:

* `public-website/public/favicon.svg` - Refined static browser favicon.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Accessibility and platform compliance: Preserved `role="img"` and the labelled title.

### Task T014 - Refine static website manifest

**Started**: 2026-06-01 18:51 **Completed**: 2026-06-01 18:51 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Added stable browser metadata fields for id, language, text direction, categories, and related-app posture.
* Kept `display` as `browser` and did not add service worker, offline, shortcut, standalone, or install claims.
* Kept icon references scoped to the reviewed favicon SVG.

**Files Changed**:

* `public-website/public/site.webmanifest` - Refined static website manifest.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: Manifest metadata remains browser-only and aligned with static site boundaries.

### Task T015 - Create press pass-through policy

**Started**: 2026-06-01 18:52 **Completed**: 2026-06-01 18:52 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Added press folder policy for intentional pass-through downloads.
* Copied no press download files because no launch-ready downloadable files were available in the inventory.
* Documented admission rules and blocked media categories.

**Files Changed**:

* `public-website/public/press/README.md` - Created press pass-through asset policy.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Trust boundary enforcement: Blocked conditional, generated-draft, quarantined, unknown-provenance, audio, video, and historical files from press downloads.

### Task T016 - Run typecheck, build, and metadata inspection

**Started**: 2026-06-01 18:53 **Completed**: 2026-06-01 18:56 **Duration**: 3 minutes

**Notes**:

* `npm --workspace @factionos/public-website run typecheck` passed with Node 26 PATH.
* `npm --workspace @factionos/public-website run build` passed and generated 8 static pages.
* Inspected `public-website/dist/index.html`; Open Graph and Twitter image tags use absolute `https://faction-os.com/_astro/og-default.CNq-ZtZO.png` URLs.
* Confirmed generated social image output is 1200x630 PNG at `public-website/dist/_astro/og-default.CNq-ZtZO.png`.
* Confirmed built favicon, manifest, press policy, and Astro-emitted media assets exist.

**Files Changed**:

* `public-website/dist/` - Regenerated build output for verification.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: Verified generated HTML metadata matches the resolved social image contract.

### Task T017 - Run focused Biome and media gates

**Started**: 2026-06-01 18:57 **Completed**: 2026-06-01 18:59 **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Ran focused `npx biome format --write` on touched website and session files; Biome fixed 2 files.
* Ran focused `npx biome format` on touched files; passed with no fixes needed.
* Ran focused `npx biome lint` on touched files; passed with no fixes needed.
* Ran `npm run media:visual:check`; passed with 33 existing expected warnings for metadata-pending conditional media and non-release blockers.
* Shared media source inventories were not changed; package-local website copies remain documented in session provenance notes.

**Files Changed**:

* `public-website/src/lib/media.ts` - Biome-normalized formatting.
* `public-website/src/components/media/OptimizedMedia.astro` - Biome-normalized formatting.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: Verified visual media gate still recognizes the shared source inventory and blockers.

### Task T018 - Validate encoding and record closeout

**Started**: 2026-06-01 19:00 **Completed**: 2026-06-01 19:04 **Duration**: 4 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added package README guidance for package-local asset placement, pass-through press files, and validation commands.
* Reran `npm --workspace @factionos/public-website run typecheck`; passed.
* Reran `npm --workspace @factionos/public-website run build`; passed and generated 8 static pages.
* Reran generated metadata inspection; homepage Open Graph and Twitter image tags use absolute `https://faction-os.com/_astro/og-default.CNq-ZtZO.png` URLs with 1200x630 PNG metadata.
* Reran `npm run media:visual:check`; passed with the same expected 33 metadata-pending and non-release warnings for conditional shared media.
* Scanned touched text paths for non-ASCII bytes and CRLF line endings; no matches.
* Biome ignores Markdown/spec files by configuration, so README and session Markdown encoding was covered by ASCII/LF scans instead.

**Files Changed**:

* `public-website/README_public-website.md` - Documented package-local media placement and validation commands.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase13-session05-asset-pipeline-and-brand-media-prep/implementation-notes.md` - Recorded final verification notes.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase13-session05-asset-pipeline-and-brand-media-prep/tasks.md` - Marked all tasks and completion checklist done.

**Residual Media Risks**:

* Showcase assets remain conditional for broad release claims until source, rights, attribution, metadata, fallback, accessibility, privacy, and budget blockers are closed in a later promotion record.
* Press downloads remain unavailable; `public/press/` contains policy only.
* `assets/showcase/factionos-website-mockup.png` is absent and remains blocked from website use.

**No-Overclaim Review**:

* The session does not claim production-hosted validation, formal media certification, analytics, hosted forms, PWA install support, or broad media release readiness.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Error information boundaries: Final notes preserve blocker categories without exposing sensitive paths, credentials, or provider details.
* Trust boundary enforcement: Residual media risks stay visible for later page-building sessions.
