Diagrams now show relationships + stack positioning, not just restating
slide text:
- slide 1: the widening gap (velocity vs coordination surface) → Nova absorbs
- slide 2: Nova's position in the stack (SDLC/PDLC → contract → Nova → prod)
- slide 3: inheritance tree (two tenets → 6 architectural elements they shape)
- slide 4: confidence-threshold ladder (dev 0.50 → qa 0.75 → prod 0.90 → dr 0.95 + escalation)
- slide 5: stack layers with the contract as the dividing line (above/below)
- slide 6: the arc with what each milestone unlocks + the constant contract surface
- slide 7: proven foundation → runway arc → ask → structural risk if not
Fixed: slide 4 node/subgraph naming collision (DR → DRENV);
slides 2 + 5 reworked to horizontal layout (were too tall for slides).

REQ-259: telemetry-live-ops.mmd kept as flowchart TB (the 3-way
branch C/D/E makes LR too wide at 4.22 aspect; TB gives 0.63 which
is legible at h:480). Re-rendered at 2x transparent (1024x1628).
Marp deck directive updated: ![w:900] -> ![h:480] so the image
renders at a legible height using the img.tall class budget.
REQ-260: platform-pipeline.mmd restructured from 10-node LR chain
(aspect 13.52, illegible 1000x74 strip) to 4-node TB with combined
nodes (Contract->Resolver->Adapter, Wiz->Confidence->Stage gate,
Apply->Evidence). Re-rendered at 2x transparent (552x1116, aspect
0.49). Marp deck directive: ![w:1000] -> ![h:480].
Aspect-ratio bounds revised from [1.2, 2.5] to [0.4, 4.0] (GRILL
revision 1 scoped the test to deck-referenced PNGs only; the bounds
are widened to accept tall diagrams that use img.tall class). The
bounds still catch the original extreme outliers (13.52x and 0.22x).

REQ-254: section padding (48px 56px 40px) + overflow:auto (authoring
signal). Root cause fix — zero padding was why every slide looked
jammed against the edges.
REQ-255: aspect-ratio-aware image rules. Replaced blunt
max-height:320px with max-width:100% + max-height:380px +
object-fit:contain. Added .wide/.tall classes. The w: directive on
tall images (slide 9) is no longer silently overridden.
REQ-256: title-slide chrome suppression (section.title header/footer
display:none), h2+lead-paragraph spacing tightening, paragraph margin
reduction, ol styling, table.dense class (4px 8px padding + 16px font
for >=8 row tables), @media print overflow:hidden for PPTX fidelity.
@import rejection documented (GRILL revision 2): Marp default theme
padding (56px 64px) does not reserve header/footer space and its base
styles conflict with the S&P palette. Manual padding gives precise
control over the padding budget.

Major rework of both presentation decks based on leadership feedback.
Addresses: story arc, concept clarity, scope clarification, more visuals,
appendix for detail-heavy slides, and a complete Road to the North Star.
6 new mermaid diagrams:
- platform-works-03-scope-boundary (Upstream → Contract → ACDL → AWS)
- developer-experience-01b-scope-boundary (both consumer paths + scope)
- platform-works-04-confidence-signal (6 inputs → score → gate → decision)
- platform-works-05-attestation-flow (deploy → gate → approver → evidence)
- developer-experience-04-promotion-journey (dev → qa → prod → dr)
- road-to-north-star (v1.0 demo → v1.9 → v1.10 → v2.0 → North Star)
Both Marp decks restructured to 10 main + 6 appendix slides:
PW deck (17 slides):
1. Title
2. The Problem & The North Star (anti-goals moved to slide 3)
3. Where ACDL Sits in Your World (NEW — scope boundary, infra only)
4. The Contract-Driven Model (image: removed, infra inputs instead)
5. The End-to-End Flow
6. Zero-Trust by Default
7. Safety is Computed (NEW confidence signal diagram)
8. Security by Construction
9. Accountability & Audit (NEW attestation flow diagram, QA clarification,
badge reclassification: dev=Testing, qa/prod/dr=Planned)
10. Testing vs. Planned (summary, full inventory in appendix)
11. The Vision Realized
+ Appendix: TOC, Platform-Managed Environments, Observability, Road to
North Star, Full Inventory, Glossary
DX deck (16 slides):
1. Title
2. Where ACDL Sits in Your World (REPLACES Two Consumer Surfaces — scope
boundary with both consumer paths)
3. The Contract — The Entire Consumer Surface (image: removed)
4. The Developer Feedback Loop
5. Versioned, Predictable Releases
6. Friendly Onboarding
7. Safe Promotion Path (NEW promotion journey diagram, rising bar
annotated: dev=Testing, qa/prod/dr=Planned)
8. Safe Decommission
9. Self-Service Module Catalog
10. The Desired Outcomes
+ Appendix: TOC, Citizen Developer Experience, No Platform Code, Local
Reproducibility, Road to North Star, Glossary
Story arc: every slide has an italic 'Story beat' line connecting it to
the narrative progression.
Scope clarification: ACDL is infrastructure only. Upstream is anything
(IDE, agentic SDLC, citizen dev vibe coding). ACDL provisions and governs
AWS resources; application deployment is upstream. Contract examples now
show infrastructure inputs (cpu, memory, desired_count, port) not image:.
QA attestation reclassification: 'Design tested' → 'Planned'. QA attests
to infrastructure readiness (contract + Terraform plan + evidence), not
application code. Dev is autonomous (Testing); qa/prod/dr are Planned.
Road to the North Star: phased timeline (v1.0 → v1.9 → v1.10 → v2.0 →
North Star), annotated 'proposed phasing, not formally planned.'
Also: scripts/sync_to_gl.sh added (GitLab mirror sync utility).

Add two leadership-facing presentation decks for senior leadership
(CTO, Head of Cloud, Head of Infrastructure, Head of DevOps):
1. How the Platform Works — 14 slides covering the contract-driven model,
zero-trust, computed safety, policy enforcement, secure-by-default,
immutable audit, HITL, observability, platform-managed environments,
portability, and an honest shipped-vs-planned roadmap.
2. The Developer Experience — 14 slides covering two consumer surfaces,
the 5-line contract, no platform code, versioned releases, instant
feedback, deploy outputs, local reproducibility, friendly onboarding,
safe promotion (one contract + per-env CI jobs), safe decommission,
self-service module catalog, and the leadership outcome.
Each deck has two forms:
- Full markdown (source of truth) with speaker notes + mermaid code blocks
- Marp deck (lean, no speaker notes, embedded PNG diagrams) for presentation
Includes a README documenting the 3-step slide creation process:
(full markdown → Marp synthesis → PPTX export) with conventions, build
commands, and maturity framing rules.
