Arcadia is the platform; Worlds are the places inside it. Make that distinction visible and establish a safe public identity model.

• •In progressProduct Vision v0.3 and Brand Brief v0.4 lock H1–H3 as cosmetic Homeworld-pack directions, F1 as the shared hub, A1 as the Astralcraft language, the exact-source I3 World Compass as Arcadia's working mark and Sora as its display/wordmark face. Brand System v1 is approved with readable chapter markers and a restrained champagne-gold World-entry action.

• •In progressDeployed on release 686d6b6: the shared account-entry contract, migration 018 and API authorization guard enforce the source policy that public identities may enter directly while WORK-linked identities require a fresh BEAT assertion.
• PendingNo automatic merge between a WORK identity and a separately created public identity.
• •In progressDeployed on release 4a06dfd: the universal mobile runtime frame classifies every game by viewport shape, gives wide Worlds a rotate-or-continue portrait choice and a full-height landscape control rail, and moves stats, sound, pause and instructions into an accessible field-guide drawer. Focused repairs clear Sky Stack guidance contrast, Echo onboarding legibility, Gem Rush below-fold mobile controls and the Tetris PAD collision. A second visual pass gives Powerplay a real night-stadium identity, Flappy a Cloudway departure and architectural portal gates, and Sky Stack a distinct layered ascent with an altitude instrument. Broader per-game upgrades, physical-device proof and PWA proof remain.
• PendingInstallable PWA shell with manifest, icons, safe update flow, offline/maintenance surface and receipt-aware caching rules.
