Vision collage packing

Hard rule for diana’s dashboard (/Users/diana/my-dashboard) vision collage days.

This file lives here — /Users/diana/my-dashboard/.cursor/rules/vision-collage-no-overlap.mdc. When the packing rule changes, write it here. Do not leave the update only in task-dashboard.

Sep 7 onward (noBannerPackDay / iso >= 2026-09-07 / dash-mosaic-era)

Dashboard room chrome (packDashMosaic). Follow only what Diana stated:

• Air + spread together: gutters, rounded rooms, fuller tiles get more space, and one large room with the rest composed around it
• The fullest section is the large room. The others sit beside and below it
• Widths and heights both fill the board and both follow content (tileContentScore)
• Tiles stay relatively proportional to one another
• Base size is 0.8 of the old equal-size tiles; fuller sections grow from there. Do not shrink empties below that base
• Rectangles when that fits. Do not force squares. Do not force the same height. Do not invent a column count
• Fill the board when there are 3+ sections — no empty strip, no leftover hole. Gutters between tiles (not drawn borders, never overlap). Do not stuff a tile into a leftover sliver
• Rooms tessellate the board (force-style interdependence): guillotine bipartition (tessellateDashRooms) — gaps and overlaps are impossible by construction. Freeform absolute mosaicLayout is retired. Resize updates area weights, then re-tessellates.
• No dark overlay on the photo
• Photos cover the tile (crop edges; no letterbox)
• Titles stay centered in the current gold foil style — never bottom-left Cinzel
• No scrap tilt
• Re-pack when a task / subsection / card is added or removed
• 1–2 sections: condensed height — NEVER full-viewport tall. Cap the mosaic stage (~half viewport / ~0.4× width). Do not force min-height: 100vh or solo-fill. Photos still cover the shorter rooms. vision-hero-dash-solo may still mark a single section; it does not mean stretch-to-fill.

Aug 26 – Aug 31

Keep the original gapped collage: 12px gutters, 16px tile radius. Never apply flush (gap: 0) here.

Sep 1 – Sep 6 (collage-flush / grid11)

Flush mosaic only — tiles kiss, no gutters. Do not push flush backward onto August.

Before Sep 7 packing

Use existing visionPackSpec. Do not restyle past days into Sep 7 rooms.

Always

1. scrapCollageDay stays false.
2. After add/remove/reorder → syncHeroLayoutClass → packVisionCollage.
3. Edit everything.html only (everything-page-only).
4. Keep this rule in my-dashboard. task-dashboard may mirror it; my-dashboard is the copy that counts.

If Sep 7+ titles go bottom-left white

Put them back to centered gold foil. Do not ask.

No runtime rewriter — across the board

Titles stay as written. No JavaScript on load, chrome-sync, midnight, or carry may change section names (I will… → I am…, I will succeed → I succeeded, i → I, to … prefix, plain-label maps). If a word needs to change, change the baked HTML or the hardcoded picker list. Do not add a rewriter.

Forbidden: pastTenseDay / toPastSectionTitle / titledForBlock mutations / forceAll title migrations / load-time chrome title rewrites. Do not restore them.

Past-day titles stay baked. If a pass already rewrote history, restore every affected day from the baked map — not only Sept 5 and 6. Do not ask. Sept 5 past tense stays because Diana asked for those words — not because midnight flipped them.

Do not push Sep 6 style backward. Centered gold foil started on Sept 6. Aug 26–Sep 5 stay white Newsreader, bottom-left. Restore those days to exactly that — never restyle them to centered gold foil.

Section picker list is I am. sectionPresets / presetSecs is a hardcoded I am… list. Do not put I will… back in that list. Do not add a runtime rewriter to convert I will → I am for the picker. Change the list. Skip leftover I will harvests; do not rewrite them.
