All three families are self-hosted from apps/web/public/fonts/ and fetched at install time from the @fontsource-variable jsDelivr mirror. Licence files live alongside the fonts at apps/web/public/fonts/LICENSES.md.
Imagery
The three architectural plates on /research and /about are AI-generated via fal.ai's Flux 1.1 Pro model, post-processed in Photopea per §2.5.1 of the architecture document. Prompts, seeds, and generation dates live at apps/web/public/imagery/MANIFEST.md. Commercial-use rights via fal.ai terms.
The diagrams on /intelligence are hand-drawn by Steve and vectorised in-house. In-house licence; contributor credit retained on each SVG.
The founder portrait on /about is shot in-house. iPhone, north-facing window, no retouching beyond exposure.
Sound
No sound at v1. The architecture leaves room for six original sounds (per §2.7), commissioned as a single composer brief; the toggle in the header surfaces them when they ship.
