 The visual atmosphere is dark and controlled, with amber used as a directional signal rather than ambient decoration. Surfaces are compact and information-dense, but each zone is explicit about purpose so the user can move from detection to validation without losing context.
 
+The production aesthetic is now centered on mock9 through mock12: table-first command surfaces, dense route-specific operating boards, border-block separation, minimal radius, and no dashboard-card composition as the default. Mock5 remains the workflow reference for Options only: OPRA intake, contract focus, filter controls, and packet eligibility.

 This system explicitly rejects the anti-references in PRODUCT.md: no meme-stock hype aesthetics, no generic SaaS card fog, and no Bloomberg cosplay density unless density is earning its keep with decision value.

-- **Corner Style:** medium-soft corners (`12px` or `14px`) depending on container prominence.
-- **Background:** layered dark surfaces (`#111820`, `#0d141b`) with restrained top-to-bottom sheen.
-- **Shadow Strategy:** no default card shadow; only overlays and floating inspectors use lift shadows.
-- **Border:** subtle perimeter lines (`rgba(255,255,255,0.08)` baseline).
-- **Internal Padding:** primarily `16px-18px` with tighter inner rhythm (`8px-12px`) for controls.
+- **Default Shape:** square terminal sections (`0px radius`) with border-block dividers.
+- **Background:** flat dark surfaces (`#111820`, `#0d141b`) with tonal contrast only.
+- **Shadow Strategy:** no shadows on production route sections; only drawers, popovers, and tooltips use lift shadows.
+- **Border:** top/bottom rules carry separation; perimeter boxes are reserved for true tables, overlays, and controls that need hit-area clarity.
+- **Internal Padding:** primarily `8px-12px` so rows, headers, and controls stay dense.

+- **Dashboard / Market Command:** command metrics, priority board, decision levels, chart context, source health, recent contracts, replay state, and evidence context in one dense operating board.
+- **Options / OPRA Intake:** production `OptionsPane` and `FlowPane` remain the source of truth, with TanStack virtual rows, contract focus, scroll gates, and filters tuned for option decision work.
+- **News / Wire Control:** virtualized wire rows, source rails, symbol rails, live-only state, older-history scroll gates, and the existing news drawer.
