# SM-CAMPAIGNS-01 — Visual Direction Revision Ready

**Agent:** Local Cursor (no Supervisor / subagents)  
**Phase:** Interactive design exploration — Revision 2  
**Date:** 2026-11-03  
**Verdict (R2):** Ready for owner visual-direction **comparison**  
**Verdict (R2.1):** Critical shared-engine defects C-1–C-10 addressed for interaction integrity — **Y2 still provisional**, not an approved final design  
**Authorization:** Isolated prototypes only — **does not** authorize application implementation, migrations, production changes, or Cloudflare deploy

```bash
open /Users/umarfarooq/Desktop/Projects/SendMatico/.local-handoff/sm-campaigns-01-ui-concepts-r2/index.html

Or serve: `python3 -m http.server 8777` from that directory.

R1 concepts remain untouched under `sm-campaigns-01-ui-concepts/` for comparison.

## What changed vs R1 (integrity first)

| Defect | Fix |
|--------|-----|
| Dead Insert Variable / Template / Fallbacks | Root cause: `data-open` bound once, lost on re-render → **event delegation** engine |
| Conflicting metrics | One reconciled `shared/data.js` |
| Readiness vs unset timezone | Timezone blocks Start |
| Contradictory save UI | Explicit save only (AC-6); one Save Sequence |
| Cancel = dismiss | **Keep editing** / Cancel Campaign separated |
| Follow-up 21 | Arithmetic parentheses + renumber |
| Stacked previews | One Preview modal, shared recipient |
| Badge / D-code noise | Stripped from product UI → Review panel |

## Three directions (structural differences)

| | Y1 Signal | Y2 Atelier | Y3 Ledger |
|--|-----------|------------|-----------|
| Idea | Diagnostic console | Authoring atelier | Continuum document |
| Hierarchy | Dark chrome + right rail | Question-led canvas | Hairline ledger bands |
| Type | IBM Plex Sans | Fraunces + Source Sans 3 | Plex Sans + Mono |
| Sequence | Sticky spine + cards | Large editor (primary) | Mono editor, dense spine |
| Ops | Signature status rail | Rail in side index | Narrow ledger rail |

Full comparison: `docs/VISUAL_DIRECTION_COMPARISON.md`.

## Verification evidence

- **36/36** automated interaction checks PASS across Y1–Y3 (`docs/INTERACTION_TEST_EVIDENCE.md`).  
- Screenshots for Pending / Sequence / Active / mobile per direction in `evidence/`.  
- V-01–V-15 dispositions: `docs/V_DISPOSITION_REGISTER.md`.

## Direction recommendation (not a winner declaration)

**Prefer Y2 Atelier** for authoring quality (Muse’s hardest failure), with **Y1 rail semantics** and **Y3 metric typography** as optional hybrid ingredients.

| Alternative wins when… |
|------------------------|
| Y1 — ops transparency is the product signature |
| Y3 — Continuum adjacency / scan density preferred |

Owner must select before expanding the complete experience.

## Unresolved without new product decisions

1. Visual direction / hybrid selection  
2. Per-lead editable review in/out of scope  
3. U-10 notification channel within D15  
4. First-build diagnostic taxonomy depth vs phased engine truth  

**Not reopened:** D1–D21; explicit save; relative delays without unverified calendar forecasts (V-06 partial by design).

## Confirmation — no application / production changes

| Check | Result |
|-------|--------|
| `sendmatico-frontend/` / `sendmatico-backend/` modified | **No** |
| Templates redesign worktrees | **No** |
| Production data / sends / activations | **No** |
| App PRs / merges / deploys / CF publish | **None** |
| Artifacts | Only under `.local-handoff/sm-campaigns-01-ui-concepts-r2/` |
