No record of the day. The pipeline had no such concept in the prose era.

A dark specimen document lit by new moon light — cold verdigris breaks once through the page like green shoots through frost, the FDR quote floats in earned silence, and JetBrains Mono logs every project like system output in a terminal that hasn't been rebooted since winter.
Why
This system embodies the Visual Specification precisely: steel-slate blue neutrals (hue 212°) build a page that feels lit from within a cloud rather than overhead. The cold verdigris accent (#2C7D5A) appears exactly once as a structural token — the borderSignal — honoring the spec's mandate of one chromatic punch. Space Grotesk at the extreme end of the Perfect Fifth scale (81px–120px) gives the specimen its architectural spine, while JetBrains Mono at 16px makes every index row feel like terminal output — a system being read. The dark base with suppressed midtones reflects the new moon's instruction: highlights are earned, not given.
The semantic layer maps to specimen logic: bg is the deep page field (#0D1922), bgCard is the slightly lifted card plane, text carries the luminous-but-not-white primary (#E2E8ED), and textMuted at neutral-500 (#475970) carries all the metadata — scores, dates, section labels — that the specimen treats as contextual noise rather than signal.
