All six ring connectors are now arcs of the same radius-240 circle
(clockwise sweep, station-edge landings) instead of a mix of arcs and
right-angled verticals. type-loop.md mandates ring arcs as the type's
connector grammar — a documented exception to SKILL.md §6 rule 1, same
precedent as medallion's promotion arcs — and adds the mixed
arc + orthogonal ring as an anti-pattern. Screenshot recaptured.
- New type #27: Loop — ring of 5-8 stations around exactly one hub,
solid flow arrows around the ring, dashed write-back spokes into
the hub. Reference doc with ring layout math, budget, and
anti-patterns; flagship example "The self-improving loop" in
light/dark/full variants; gallery tab; README showcase under the
hero image.
- scripts/lint-skin.py — contributor palette linter: reads allowed
tokens from style-guide.md at runtime, flags off-palette hexes,
pure black, external assets, scripts, and off-system fonts.
Baseline file grandfathers pre-2.0 examples; --all --baseline is
green.
- Linter immediately caught 36 near-miss hexes in 9 of the newly
regenerated examples; swapped to exact series-palette tokens and
recaptured the affected screenshots.
