Design notes

Mood: Engineering gravitas. Says almost nothing and implies everything — the confidence of a company that lets a triangle do the talking.
Colors: Pure white canvas, pure black type and mark, grey (#666666) annotations, hairline borders (#EAEAEA). No accent colour anywhere; customer logos and screenshots read monochrome too.
Type: One grotesk (Geist-like) doing everything: huge plain statements ('Agentic Infrastructure', 'Ship apps that scale…'), small margin annotations, tiny caps labels ('Features'). Weight and size are the only voice.
Layout: Asymmetric editorial spreads: headline left, sculptural mark center with small annotations hanging in the right margin; then alternating text-column + hairline-framed screenshot rows, feature lists tucked in the margins. Vast whitespace between acts.
Motion: Minimal and exact — a soft shadow drift on the mark, instant hovers, at most a quiet fade-up per section. Never decorative.
Texture: Flat white with one soft shadow under the hero mark; screenshots sit behind 1px hairlines; everything else is bare paper.
Imagery: Almost none: one sculptural black geometric mark with a soft drop shadow as the hero object, then real product screenshots framed in hairline borders. Tool: build the mark and UI frames in code/CSS; kie-ai Seedream only if a soft-shadowed 3D pass on the mark is needed. Zero photography, zero colour art, monochrome partner logos only.
Don't: No colour, no gradients, no illustration, no rounded playfulness, no dense marketing sections — a single accent hue would collapse the whole system.

## Acceptance criteria
- Existing project conventions, design tokens, working functionality, and unrelated changes are preserved.
- Two or three reference principles clearly support the user's task; conflicts are resolved in favor of usability and the existing product.
- Reusable components and semantic HTML express the interface. Available licensed assets are used; important UI text is never rendered as a bitmap.
- Every visible control has a defined behavior. Loading, empty, error, success, disabled, and long-content states are specified where relevant. Demo data is clearly labeled.
- Navigation and content adapt at 375px, 768px, and 1440px without horizontal page overflow. Keyboard use, visible focus, labeled inputs, at least 44px touch targets, readable contrast, and reduced motion are supported.
- Verification distinguishes rendered behavior from proposals and identifies anything still requiring a backend or external service.

## Quality bar
Clear hierarchy, consistent spacing, restrained surfaces, and purposeful motion. Avoid decorative gradients, excessive cards, placeholder buttons, and invented metrics unless the project calls for them. Do not claim a feature is connected or tested without evidence.
