 - 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.
+- Surveillance Survivor's image is now the current build's title screen (SS-runtime `shell_title_backdrop` + `shell_wordmark`, composed with the app's own scrim), replacing the legacy pixel-art hero.
 
 ### Community
 - Add a **Community** section on Work (`#community`) and a short Community block on the home evidence area, separate from Products and Clients.
