 ## Unreleased
 
+### Home redesign — proposed (A · Observatory)
+- New home in review: symbolic graphics, motion with reduced-motion paths, verified at 320–1440 px.
+- New sections: local intelligence deployments on your own hardware and program logos (ElevenLabs Startup Grants, Databricks Startup Program, Neon Startup Program).
+- Fixes malformed `<picture>` markup and dead `srcset` targets on the old home; hero image 1 MB → 107 KB; fonts self-hosted.
+- See `intent/2026-10-02-site-redesign.md`. Not deployed until approved.

 ### Community
 - Add a **Community** section on Work (`#community`) and a short Community block on the home evidence area, separate from Products and Clients.
 - First community entry: **SUAS** (“Shut up and serve.”), with a real screenshot of https://scrimshawlife-ctrl.github.io/suas/ cropped to the live hero and category cards. The Veteran Innovation Hackathon is linked in copy only (`https://luma.com/Innovation4Veterans`); no Luma page image. Built by zer0state for the event at Hacker Dojo, 28–30 August 2026. SUAS is not a Zero State product and is not listed for sale. Status on the public page: SPEC-017 · NOT READY.
