# M52 Q-style Runtime Review

Date: 2026-09-09  
Source: working tree after the owner-approved `m52_qstyle_calibration.png`

## Direction

Original Japanese 2D hand-drawn mobile RPG presentation with compact chibi
silhouettes, bright painted environments, rounded paper surfaces and one shared
ink/teal/brass component language. The calibration board is the visual source
of truth; it is not copied from a third-party game.

## Runtime evidence inspected

| Page | Evidence | Viewport | Verdict |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Title | `m52-qtitle-runtime/evidence/title-760x360-zh_CN-100.png` | 760x360 | open: background and lockup read; character identity follow-up remains |
| Guild | `m52-qflow-guild/evidence/guild-760x360-zh_CN-100.png` | 760x360 | open: Q hall is coherent, old-proportion company portraits remain |
| Contract | `m52-current-contract/evidence/contract-choice-760x360-zh_CN-100.png` | 760x360 | open: authored Q figures and parchment read; individual Company identity is deferred |
| Market | `m52-current-market/evidence/market-760x360-zh_CN-100.png` | 760x360 | open: boards and return button read; card portraits still use the earlier identity set |

The Contract and Market captures were produced by normal Metal rendering and
passed their focused capture markers with strict diagnostics `0`:

- `ABG_M19_CONTRACT_CHOICE_CAPTURE_OK`
- `ABG_M09_MARKET_CAPTURE_OK`

## Art gate

- `source`: prompts, reports, task IDs and generated PNGs retained.
- `imported`: Godot import completed for the new backgrounds.
- `integrated`: Title, Guild, Contract and Market reference the new assets.
- `runtime_seen`: current captures show the assets in the real View paths.
- `agent_visual_reviewed`: yes, at the 760x360 fixture above and on the
  identity-locked Q company sprite sheet used by the current Market capture.
- `human_reviewed`: owner approved the calibration board; complete runtime flow
  remains open for review.
- `device_verified` / `release_accepted`: not claimed.

## Earliest failed boundary and next falsifying test

The first identity slice is now integrated for the visible MVP profession IDs,
but remaining professions still use historical portraits. Contract temporarily
uses the authored Q figures in its route master. The next bounded task is to
extend this same identity-locked family to the remaining roles, then add a
small idle/breathing loop after the static silhouettes pass play-size review.
Do not expand content or add decorative motion until the role coverage and
anchor policy are stable.

Gate: OPEN (environment slice integrated; full Q-style character presentation
not yet accepted).
