14 September 2026 · New-user onboarding

Should a newcomer use Vault or Market? This round tests visual intent choices, a product map and a short optional walkthrough, using Gyro as the shared journey reference. Meryl’s live app and skin are unchanged.

Recommendation: choose by intent first, then offer a small visual example. Buying needs no prior vault deposit; listing requires vault shares. The product-map concept is rejected as drawn because one of its arrows teaches the wrong flow. This is concept review, not a live onboarding release.

13 September 2026 · Latest design iteration

The approved A statement stays. This pass sharpens the active tab, simplifies Markets and gives small controls proper touch targets.

Three imagegen directions for vault holders, passive sellers and active buyers → practical updates → fresh screenshot-diff review → final refinements. Images marked “proposal” are design ideas, not product data. Real captures use the public thetadeployer account; balances can move between captures.

Three independent proposals

Kept: clearer holdings, less framing, concise guidance and visible actions. Rejected: invented records, missing controls, tiny targets and extra disclaimer panels. Existing brand artwork stays; controls remain real HTML/CSS.

Desktop · before / final

Phone · before / final

Seller · before / final

Paused listing now looks and acts disabled. The new submit-only gate follows existing market status; cancellation, claims and withdrawals stay outside it. No quote or return arithmetic changed.

Second designer pass · diff proposal

The designer compared actual before/after desktop and phone captures. Only useful refinements were applied; the final screenshots above are the implemented result. Pass 1 desktop · Pass 1 phone · Pass 1 seller.

All captured journeys

Fresh Astra review and targeted regression tests cover control bindings, frozen beta, responsive targets, modal/history visibility and pause-state recovery. Live checks are read-only; no transaction was signed.
