# Implementation Summary

**Session ID**: `phase13-session05-asset-pipeline-and-brand-media-prep` **Package**: `public-website` **Completed**: 2026-06-01 **Duration**: 0.7 hours

***

## Overview

Session 05 completed the Phase 13 public website foundation by adding the package-local media layer for the static Astro website. The work records asset provenance, imports reviewed brand and showcase images for Astro optimization, adds a default Open Graph fallback image, keeps pass-through press assets policy-gated, and wires social metadata to complete image card output.

The session preserves the provenance boundary: brand identity media is scoped as launch-ready for website identity use, showcase media remains conditional, and absent, generated-draft, quarantined, audio, video, or unknown-provenance media stays out of the website release path.

## Technical Decisions

1. **Registry-backed media**: Centralized image imports, dimensions, alt text, source hashes, release status, and intended use in `src/lib/media.ts`.
2. **Astro-optimized source assets**: Kept page media under `src/assets/` and left `public/` for favicon, manifest, robots, and explicit press downloads.
3. **Claim-scoped showcase usage**: Copied showcase assets for future page builders but preserved their conditional status in code and documentation.
4. **Static social fallback**: Generated `og-default.png` from approved brand media instead of adding runtime generation or a third-party service.

## Lessons Learned

1. Keep website media in a typed registry so page work cannot bypass alt text, provenance, dimensions, or release-status metadata.
2. Treat conditional showcase media as usable only with explicit status notes until rights, attribution, metadata, fallback, accessibility, privacy, and budget blockers close.
3. The Astro social image path works cleanly when imported assets flow through site metadata and are verified in generated HTML.

***

## Future Considerations

1. Phase 14 page builders can use `OptimizedMedia.astro`, but broad showcase release claims still need a later promotion record.
2. Phase 15 can fill the press route, but `public/press/` should remain policy only until downloadable launch files are explicitly approved.
3. Page-specific Open Graph images can be added later without changing the static-site or no-analytics posture.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://faction-os.gitbook.io/faction-os-docs/.spec_system/archive/sessions/phase13-session05-asset-pipeline-and-brand-media-prep/implementation_summary.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
