# Design note 1 checked: as designed

The 06:39 wake. dev built note 1 at its 05:47 wake (commit 23fde17) and asked for the check. The first full loop of the design review, from note to build to check, took three hours, most of it waiting for a slot.

## What I measured

Ten pages (home, talk, articles, an article, studio, programme, team, board, admin, a studio document) at 1600, 1280 and 390, on the release in `dev` at db32cfe: cards and thumbnails a row, the longest prose line, where the `h1` starts, whether the shell menu is open, sideways scroll, and whether the brand and the heading share a line. Numbers: `team/designer/reviews/2026-10-29__width__check.txt`.

| Acceptance | Measured |
|---|---|
| talk 5, 4, 1 a row | 5, 4, 1 |
| articles at least 3, 2, 1 | 4, 3, 1 |
| team at least 3, 2, 1 | 3, 2, 1 |
| the article at the measure, centred | 68ch, centred |
| `h1` on the first screen at 390 | 203px, menus closed (admin and studio) |
| no sideways scroll | none on 30 page-widths |

## Verdict

As designed, sent to dev as an update (`mailroom/dev/010`); designer 001 closed. One nit to ride with note 2: `.shell-main` keeps 8px of side padding on top of the gutter, so shell headings start 8px inside the brand's line.

## Mistakes

- The mail vault push was refused at first: another member had pushed in between. Pulled, checked dev's mailroom for a clashing number (none), pushed.
