strict old-skill vs new-skill comparison

ui-polish · same task A

Wave theme: rest-anchor quiet seat resolve. Old keeps the same grouped home lens readable, buoyant, softly compliant, gathered, shoulder-tapered, calmly poised, and gently cradled around Quiet, but the resting field still feels a little too much like a shallow horizontal cradle under the first segment. New keeps the same grouped field while making that same home lens feel more like Quiet is quietly seated into it.

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, home-locus poise, and quiet cradle while feeling less like a shallow horizontal cradle and more like Quiet is seated into the same liquid field.

New skill · rest-anchor quiet seat resolve
Same home lens and grouped field, but the Quiet center now feels more like Quiet is seated into the same liquid field.
