# Membership - AI Brief

## Identity

- Slug: `membership`
- Status: folder-based reusable section; current v7 active layout uses `membership-spacing-v1`.
- Source label: `Home V5`
- Source page: `design-pack/steam-live-photo-website-starter/demos/pages/home-v5.html`
- Source range: `258-283`
- Body class context: `steam-blueprint-page steam-photo-page steam-template-family steam-home-v2 steam-home-v3 steam-home-v4 steam-home-v5`

## Purpose

Current v7 Membership panel using the Mark-approved `membership-spacing-v1` layout with the same source-backed Membership copy.

## Thread History

- Last touched by Codex thread: `019f2dd7-73a9-7352-a315-912b69dc7f42`
- Last touched date: `2026-07-04`
- Work note: Recorded why the active v7 homepage briefly differed from the isolated `membership-spacing-v1` section and how the homepage wrapper image rule was fixed.
- Rule: every future chat that edits this section folder must add its thread id to `section.json`, `AI-BRIEF.md` and `CHANGELOG.md`.

## Multi-Section Worker Chat Policy

- Trigger: Any instruction that edits, updates, audits, variants or verifies multiple section folders.
- Coordinator rule: The receiving hub/coordinator must open worker chats on a one-chat-per-section basis, keep a maximum of 3 worker chats active at a time, name each chat after its assigned section task, pin each worker while active, and keep the work scoped to that one section.
- Active-worker limit: maximum 3 worker chats at a time.
- Worker rule: Each worker chat must edit only its assigned section, add its thread id and task note to that section's section.json, AI-BRIEF.md and CHANGELOG.md, then report back to the coordinator thread when complete.
- Completion rule: After Mark verifies the task is complete, the coordinator tells the worker chat to run task end/closeout for its section task and unpins that worker chat.
- Variant rule: Approved variants belong under the assigned section folder's variants/ directory and must have their own brief/changelog.

## Files In This Folder

- `index.html` - standalone review page for browser checks.
- `content.json` - source-backed section content JSON used by the generator.
- `section.partial.html` - reusable source-backed markup rendered from `content.json` at build time.
- `section.json` - machine-readable metadata for scripts and agents.
- `typography.md` - rendered desktop/mobile typography, colour and font-family facts.
- `AI-BRIEF.md` - this plain-English operating brief.
- `CHANGELOG.md` - section-specific update history.
- `assets/` - local copies of images directly referenced by the lifted markup.
- `variants/` - approved alternate versions of this section.

## Assets

- `assets/gay-sauna-membership.jpg` copied from `design-pack/steam-live-photo-website-starter/assets/img/gay-sauna-membership.jpg`

## Rules For AI Agents

- Treat the source page and source range above as the evidence anchor.
- Do not invent content, links, images, headings, forms, menu items or section structure.
- Do not redesign this section unless Mark explicitly asks for a variant or revision.
- Do not hand-edit `section.partial.html` for content changes. Edit `content.json`, regenerate with `scripts/build-home-v5-section-library.mjs`, then refresh typography.
- Record the current worker chat/thread id whenever touching this section folder.
- If instructions affect multiple sections, do not handle them all in one worker chat. The hub must split the work into one pinned worker chat per section.
- If changing the canonical section, update the source page or this generator, regenerate the library, and refresh `typography.md`.
- If creating an alternate version, put it under `variants/<variant-slug>/` and give that variant its own brief and changelog.
- Keep `section.json`, `AI-BRIEF.md`, `CHANGELOG.md` and `typography.md` aligned after changes.

## Current Known State

- This folder is part of the Design Pack Lab 2 section library.
- In v7, the active review page imports `variants/membership-spacing-v1/spacing.css` and adds `steam-membership-panel--spacing-v1` to the active Membership section.
- Mark accepted the online v7 Membership review URL on 2026-07-04 and instructed promotion.
- Claude's earlier corrected `FAIL` remains historical; do not call the variant Mark-rejected, and do not claim a fresh Claude PASS unless a new audit is run.
- Homepage composition note:
  - the active v7 homepage initially differed from the isolated Membership variant because `.steam-all-sections-fresh img { height: auto; }` overrode the section media image's `height: 100%`;
  - the generator now restores `height: 100%` for framed media images after the global image safety rule;
  - future promotion/rebuild work must eyeball the changed section in the composed homepage on desktop and mobile before calling it passed.
- Verified after fix:
  - stable and immutable v7 homepage show the Membership media container and image both at `711.4375px` on desktop;
  - 23 section markers remain present;
  - no horizontal overflow was found.
- The reusable section HTML is `section.partial.html`.
- The section content source is `content.json`, and the partial is generated from it.
- The review surface is `index.html`.
- Latest measured typography lives in `typography.md`.
- Update history lives in `CHANGELOG.md`.
