Summary

  • replace the complete visual identity with a cohesive retro-futurist dystopian system
  • add six approved character portraits with dedicated full-card and small-surface focus crops
  • replace the desktop and mobile tables, wordmark, influence-card back, app/PWA/favicons, and social previews
  • version every cache-sensitive path, remove superseded artwork, and advance the service-worker cache
  • document the Midjourney sources, selections, prompts, crop coordinates, production settings, and future replacement workflow

Character artwork

Role Source selection Focus treatment
Duke 0bfa152b…, top-left ruler, glasses, and purple shoulder remain readable
Assassin ae7ca449…, top-left preserves the recognizable fringe, ponytail, cyan marking, and high collar
Captain 879c6c0f…, top-left commander, harness, and cyan gauntlet remain visible
Ambassador 22544db9…, bottom-right amber visor and exchange tiles stay in frame
Contessa c4aeb41c…, top-left complete crest, glasses, jewel, and collar remain visible
Inquisitor e450c4c8…, top-left hair, seal, circular device, and mantle remain visible

All 12 character outputs are opaque 512×768 WebPs. Focus crops account for the UI's tighter object-cover containers and the lower HTML card-label gradient.

Brand and environment artwork

Approved source Repository output Treatment
Desktop Wallpaper.png game-table-v2.webp strict overhead 1456×816 table, quality 82; desktop overlay reduced so the new border remains visible
Mobile Table.png game-table-mobile-v2.webp dedicated 816×1456 portrait table, quality 82
Wordmark.png coup-online-banner-v2.webp black softly keyed to transparency, 864×344 alpha WebP, quality 92
Card Back.png back-v2.webp, focus/back-v2.webp full 512×768 card plus centered emblem-forward focus crop
App Icon.png versioned master, PWA, Apple, maskable, and favicon family Lanczos derivatives from the 1024 px master; maskable mark scaled to 86% and feathered over an opaque teal extension
promotional.png og-image-v3.png, embed-image-v3.png 1200×630 composition with exact project text, keyed wordmark, and the six real cards covering generated placeholders

Integration and migration

  • update centralized character, card-back, wordmark, and viewport-specific table maps
  • update both hard-coded CSS background URLs and tune the overlays for the new tables
  • update Next metadata, Web App Manifest, Apple touch icon, PWA install prompt, favicon family, and social metadata
  • remove the old file-based src/app/icon.svg, which otherwise overrides explicit Next icon metadata
  • replace every service-worker precache path and advance coup-assets-v2 to coup-assets-v3
  • use versioned filenames throughout so browser, PWA, and social-crawler caches cannot retain old artwork
  • refresh README thumbnails/project structure and rewrite the asset guide around the Midjourney system
  • remove superseded portraits, tables, banner, card backs, logos, icons, and social files; Git history retains every prior asset

Validation

  • npm run typecheck
  • npm test — 22 files, 599 tests passed
  • next build --webpack
  • emitted Next <head> contains only the versioned favicon, PWA, Apple, and v3 social paths
  • generated manifest contains the versioned 192, 512, and maskable icons with correct purposes
  • all 25 referenced public assets exist
  • character/card-back dimensions verified at 512×768
  • desktop and mobile backgrounds verified at 1456×816 and 816×1456
  • social previews verified at 1200×630 and byte-identical
  • wordmark transparency, focus crops, 16/32 px favicons, Apple icon, and maskable safe-zone treatment reviewed
  • no stale legacy asset references remain
  • git diff --check

The default Turbopack build cannot complete in the managed runner because its CSS worker is denied permission to bind a local port (EPERM). The supported Webpack production build passes, and the same restriction was confirmed as environmental by rerunning the socket suite outside the sandbox, where all tests pass.
