Design System Implications

The Lab System Library should include a dedicated way to distinguish:

• Ratified canon
• Provisional lore
• Archival explorations
• Internal operator systems
• Public-facing identity
• Project-specific metafiction

The visual system may need asset families for:

• Mission patches
• Project insignia
• Operator marks
• Internal badges
• XP campaign marks
• Archive labels
• Status and lifecycle markers
• Field notes and operation briefs

These should be designed with restraint, not novelty. They should feel earned, specific, and useful.
