strict old-skill vs new-skill comparison

ui-polish · same task A

Wave theme: rest-anchor quiet cradle. Old keeps the same grouped home lens readable, buoyant, softly compliant, gathered, shoulder-tapered, and calmly poised around Quiet, but the resting field still feels a little too horizontally shared across Quiet and the start of Studio. New keeps the same grouped field while quietly cupping that same home lens more clearly around Quiet itself.

Method. Old side is the real pre-update output from the previous wave. Then ui-polish was updated, and the same task A was rerun to produce the new side. This is a strict old-vs-new comparison for the same panel brief.

Focus on Quiet at rest and then hover Studio Mode. The new side should keep the same depth, buoyancy, membrane hold, gel compliance, gathered-meniscus character, shoulder taper, and home-locus poise while feeling less like a broad band stretched across the first segment and more like the same liquid field quietly cradling Quiet.

Old skill · rest-anchor home-locus poise
Same home lens and grouped field, but the Quiet center still reads a little too horizontally shared across Quiet and the start of Studio.
New skill · rest-anchor quiet cradle
Same home lens and grouped field, but the Quiet center now feels more gently cupped around Quiet itself.
