This comparison uses one concrete task A and two real outputs produced at different times in the update wave: the old side was created before the skill update, and the new side was created after the skill update.
Method: Task A is the same floating appearance control panel, and the chip cluster still uses uneven label widths (
Quiet,
Studio Mode,
Deep Focus). The old side already has platter travel, settle grace, a quiet home anchor, focal stability, and edge resolve, but the top of that resting Quiet lens still reads a little broad and slab-like. This update adds
rest-anchor-crown-taper.md, which keeps the same grouped field and the same Quiet home state while tapering the home crown more delicately.
First compare the resting Quiet state. Then hover Studio Mode and move out of the cluster. Compare whether the field returns to a clear but still somewhat flat home wash, or to a calmer Quiet anchor whose crown feels more quietly cupped.
Old skill on task A
pre-crown taper
Old home state: the field already returns to a real focused anchor with a cleaner edge, but the top crown still feels a touch broad and evenly washed, so Quiet reads more like a held slab than a delicately cupped lens.
New skill on task A
+ rest-anchor crown taper
New home state: the same field still travels, settles, and returns with grace, but now the Quiet home anchor feels slightly more cupped across the top. The grouped material keeps one shared field while the resting crown reads more like a tapered liquid lens than a flat wash.
