Every clock in the system drawn with the same geometry, grouped by stratum. Each card states
its own time window, because rails self-scale and an unlabelled rail is a picture of a
duration nobody declared. Values are illustrative against a fixed now of

Four mechanisms recording the instant they acted. Read individually they say almost nothing;
read together they are the delivery chain, which is the composite at the end of this group.

The delivery chainall four L0 stamps on one shared scaleComposite
The only group on this page allowed a shared scale, because all four measure the same 24 hours. The six-hour run is the whole point: a two-minute-old assembly says nothing about six-hour-old data.
L1Transcriptsgeometry: nothing new · memory: none
Six instants copied from a source's own record. The geometry is identical to L0 — a transcript
is still a single point — so the only thing separating these six on screen is the name, the
window, and how far the tick sits from now. next_poll_at is the exception, and
the only clock on this page whose tick falls to the right of now.

L3Spansgeometry: a region · memory: every prior value
Two fields, one rail. series_from and series_through are the ends of

The upper track is what the calendar says should exist; the lower is what the series holds. A

What the full set shows
Ten of fourteen are a single tick. L0 and L1 together are ten clocks with one
geometry between them. That is the flatness of the current surface drawn to scale, and no
amount of design fixes it — only a stratum above L1 does.
The delivery chain is the honest use of a shared scale. Four stamps measuring the
same day, with a six-hour run between the poll and the assembly. Everywhere else on this page
the windows differ, so the rails must not be compared by eye.
next_poll_at broke the geometry and the geometry absorbed it. A tick
to the right of now, with the run drawn as still-to-come rather than elapsed. Nothing else
needed to change.
Three of the four blocked clocks are blocked on a question, not on work. Q2, Q3 and
the calendar owner. The fourth, trades_as_of, has a value and no published
meaning, which is why its tick is drawn soft.
Nothing here is done. Under rule 11 an element ships only with a reference
bundle, a critique loop against the live dev server, a passing brand audit and a dogfood
evidence packet. This is the design step. Tokens are read from the live light register in
src/index.css; every value shown is illustrative.
