From 1dfa2c7c93ac655fdc0ec698cbd45b25b4660ef8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Meta Vens Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2026 19:07:04 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Masthead map r4: one column, sidebars gone, wash home-only, composite deleted; six cut specs Map revision 4 against 535d170 for ruling operator-chromeless-column: the sidebars go site-wide, the masthead aligns to one column token, the wash dims off the home page through one intensity token, the composite branch is deleted. Cut specs: wash-home-only, composite-delete, sidebars-gone, column-align, plus community-hit-gap and doc-tree-flat for Soul's two findings. Target r3 proposal: one-column and wash-home-only invariants.
