Codex Archive System V3.3 Modest Table Notes

v3.3 extends Codex Archive System v3.2 Fragment Feed Notes. Use v3.2 as feed/interlude context and v3.3 for current card-image staging and inspection behavior.

v3.3 is the specimen-stage release.

Operator value prop:

• The image can now behave like an object in the feed: inspect it directly, then move into the post only if you want more context.

Work chunks and wins:

1. The legendary modest table solution Value prop: Raw camera-native art updates can keep their real silhouette instead of being flattened into teaser crops.

   • Replace hard image cropping on feed/related cards with a contained specimen stage.
   • Give image-backed cards a quiet table surface, restrained shadow, and slightly taller profile.
   • Preserve the exact shape of the item so vertical captures remain legible.

2. Split image interaction from card navigation Value prop: The operator can inspect the object and open the post as separate intents.

   • Keep the card body as the canonical link to the object page.
   • Promote the table/image stage to its own click target.
   • Add a lightweight card-image lightbox with a direct Open attached post link.
   • Mark the image stage with a small expand cue instead of extra chrome.

3. Mobile lightbox polish Value prop: Touch inspection stays legible and tappable on a narrow viewport.

   • Convert the mobile lightbox controls into a bottom action tray with larger tap targets.
   • Shorten CTA copy so long titles do not bloat the control row.
   • Increase mobile-only top/bottom breathing room inside the table stage so the object is not visually crammed.

4. Presentation lesson now codified Value prop: Click behavior can become more precise without destabilizing the archive spine.

   • The card can hold two linked but distinct reading surfaces.
   • Feed presentation can become more object-aware without changing schema.
   • Direct inspection works better when it feels like handling a specimen, not launching a modal billboard.

No schema expansion is proposed in v3.3. No new object type is proposed in v3.3.
