Superseded by Jordan’s hero #768. Closed at the author’s request. The direct launcher download, compatibility information and “Bring your own copy” note are preserved in #611 at 60a1df54, in a panel that composes with the replacement hero. #638 has been moved directly onto main and no longer depends on this branch. Nothing has been merged or deployed by this follow-up.

---

Historical design and validation follow:

Type: docs · Risk: low · Tested on: Linux, Chromium, website and game-free checks · Needs: #611 approval/merge; progress-feed publication check; final reconciliation and deployment review

Ready for review at the author’s request. #264 has merged; #611 remains the prerequisite. Do not approve or merge this PR, request a hosted preview, or deploy it before #611 is approved and merged. The WIP marker is removed; the dependency and deployment hold remain. Forgejo dependencies do not enforce the order of submitted approvals.

Merge blockers remain: the latest simulation against main e090cc48 found conflicts in website/README.md, website/src/components/Header.astro, website/src/repo-docs/graphics-settings.ts, website/src/styles/content.css and website/tests/guide-screenshots.test.ts. Resolve the stack in order and rerun validation, including the previously failing #615 publication-wording check. Removing WIP does not certify passing checks or authorize a merge or deployment. Eligible main changes deploy automatically; no deployment was requested here.

Why

Give the homepage the agreed Longshot hero: an oversized wordmark, the existing grappling-hook mascot, and restrained forest-green trails, with a matching light theme. The earlier bright diagonal treatment and additional hero tagline were rejected during design review. The primary Get started action should match the page's other primary buttons.

The issue tracker was searched; no separate issue specifically requests this hero. See #264 and #611 for the prerequisite guide and frontend work. This does not claim to fix download throughput or a game issue.

What changed

Replace the homepage hero presentation while keeping its product explanation, ownership disclosure, original mascot/fairy interaction, responsive artwork and existing navigation. Dark and light palettes follow the site's existing manual and automatic theme selection; reduced-motion preferences disable the small mouse-follow effect.

• website/src/components/LongshotHero.astro: full-width composition, Atkinson Hyperlegible Next wordmark, scoped theme styling, shared primary-button styling and bounded pointer movement. Preserve #611's direct launcher download, compatibility guidance and live launcher status in the hero's secondary information row, and retain the live site's Contribute link. No additional Team MagicBean tagline is introduced into the hero; existing header/footer credits remain.
• website/src/assets/hero/: two original decorative SVG backgrounds, their provenance and license. No new package, external font service, game imagery or raster generator is needed.
• website/README.md: describe the new theme and motion behavior.

Stack: this branch starts at #611 head 02f0299c73ab94314066b9a3ff0df8a3d504bca1, which already contains #264 head a0a93f11fe1edd80626de3538d8b638378e5ed6d. The new work is only hero commit a826af4c; the upstream comparison temporarily includes the prerequisites' commits until they land. Their pending review fixes must be incorporated before this PR becomes ready. No files in either existing PR are changed by opening this branch.

Measurements

Verdict: website presentation change, with no gameplay or performance claim. Website tests and rendered browser checks are the validation; no runtime benchmark applies.

Check	Before: #611 @ 02f0299c	After: this PR @ a826af4c
Website unit tests	92/92 (earlier #611 evidence)	92/92 (fresh run)
Production page generation	16 pages (earlier #611 evidence)	16 pages (fresh run)

Hardware: Linux; no GPU, driver, CPU or RAM benchmark is claimed.
Scene: homepage at 320–1920px, dark/light themes; website build and unit suite.
Method: deterministic page/test counts from build and test output, one final run each; these are validation results, not timing samples or medians. The baseline counts are the earlier #611 evidence.
How to reproduce: Node 26.13.1, unchanged pinned lockfile; in website/, run npm ci, npm run build, and node --test tests/*.test.ts. For browser checks run npx wrangler dev --local and open the homepage at the widths/themes above. The full publication check is blocked as described under Testing.

Baseline: #611 at 02f0299c, because this hero is deliberately stacked after it, rather than compared against a main branch without the prerequisite frontend and guide changes. Before: #611 @ 02f0299c; After: this PR @ a826af4c. Screenshot captions use these revisions.

Flags and settings

None in the hero delta. No runtime flags, menu settings, build flags or website theme-preference semantics change. The full stacked diff also contains #264’s unchanged capture-helper settings: HOS_DISPLAY_MODES=1280x720, a temporary LONGSHOT_LAUNCHER_HOME, LONGSHOT_LAUNCHER_OFFLINE=1 and LONGSHOT_LAUNCHER_REDUCED_MOTION=1. Their scope and provenance remain in #264; no capture helper was run here.

Testing

Tested: Linux, Node 26.13.1, pinned npm lockfile, Chromium 153 through agent-browser-linux-x64, and the local Wrangler Worker at 127.0.0.1:4331.

• npm run build: 16 pages built successfully on the final hero source. node --test tests/*.test.ts: 92/92 pass.
• npm run check is blocked: Progress issue:615: game branding remains in public copy. The live feed now collects successfully, but the unchanged publication guard rejects wording in that report. No guard was bypassed and the feed collector/normalizer is untouched by this hero delta. Resolve the feed wording through the normal source/curation policy and rerun the full check before publication.
• In both dark and light themes, document width equals viewport width at 320, 390, 768, 1024, 1440 and 1920px. Desktop/mobile renders inspected; manual Light/Dark selection and Auto responding to the system scheme work. Screenshots are attached in the review-evidence comment.
• Hero-scoped axe in both themes: 0 violations, 21 passes, 1 incomplete contrast category requiring visual inspection of decorated/overlapping elements. This is not a claim of complete accessibility conformance. Visible keyboard focus, three Enter presses unlocking the fairy and its live announcement were checked. Reduced motion yields no animation, a 0s image transition, and no pointer offset. No browser errors were reported.
• The real local Worker returns launcher metadata; the hero displays Preview launcher: v1.0.0-rc.4 at capture time. Get started, Contribute, Discord, direct Download launcher and compatibility links remain present.
• python -I -B tests/run_all.py --jobs 4: 500 passed, 13 failed, 69 skipped in 100s. The failure set matches the unchanged-main 6c9edffe comparison already recorded in #611 (498 passed, the same 13 failed, 69 skipped): test_appimage_player_build.py, test_bake_portability.py, test_cpm_discovery.py, test_crash_dialog.py, test_env_on.py, test_lift_cleanup_error.py, test_linux_preflight.py, test_make_game_cache.py, test_pipeline_tour.py, test_readback_late.py, test_vk_pgo.py, test_vram_budget_row.py, test_walk_key.py. The main result is earlier baseline evidence, not a new main run in this hero task. No runtime/test source is changed by the hero delta.
• git diff --check passes. The delta from #611 is limited to the hero component, website README and three new hero-art source/provenance files. #264's guide images/provenance and all existing branding/font source files are unchanged.

Not tested: Firefox, Safari, real mobile devices or a screen reader; no gameplay, runtime build, save transfer, hosted preview or production deployment was performed. Chromium viewport emulation is not a real-device test.

Must be tested:

• Linux/Windows, Chromium/Firefox/Safari, desktop and mobile widths, by hand (author or maintainer): after #264 then #611 are approved and merged, the author or maintainer must reconcile this branch with their final merged results and run npm ci, npm run build and npm run check in website/, resolving the #615 live-feed wording blocker through the existing publication policy first. By hand in the resulting Worker preview, check the homepage in both themes at desktop/mobile widths, keyboard focus and the three-activation fairy interaction, and confirm launcher metadata/download links remain functional. Expect no page overflow and no lost prerequisite content. Only then request this PR's review and deployment approval.

Risks

What could break: full-width artwork, wrapping links and shared theme styles may differ in browsers not tested here. Future changes to #264/#611 may require conflict resolution and new screenshots. The existing automated main deployment makes premature merge inappropriate.

Turning it off: revert the hero commit; leave the prerequisite guide and frontend commits intact.

Compatibility: no change to saves, options, shader/pipeline caches, Vulkan ABI or builder tools. Only the website homepage presentation and its documentation change relative to #611.

Checklist

Everyone

• One topic.
• The title is a Conventional Commit (type(scope): description) of the status line's type.
• Why gives the reason plainly and links the issues that fit (the tracker searched).
• Measurements has a verdict, or one line saying why there is nothing to measure.
• Testing names what was tested, what wasn't, and what must still be tested, where and how.
• Rebased on current main: reconcile the merged #264 result and remaining stack, resolve the documented conflicts and rerun validation before merge.
• python -I -B tests/run_all.py passes (any failure that also fails on main is named in Testing).
• No game files, dumps, build output or generated files. The original SVG website artwork is maintained source; built pages and review screenshots are not committed.
• third_party/ untouched (a new folder with a PROVENANCE.md instead).
• The license is OK: GPL-3.0-or-later, nothing incompatible and nothing decompiled.

When it applies

• AI assistance recorded with Assisted-by: / Co-Authored-By: trailers.
• Screenshots of the same spot, captioned like the Measurements columns, for a change that shows on screen.
• Docs updated.

Visual evidence for hero commit a826af4c. These screenshots are from actual built Astro pages, not the earlier standalone design study. Linux Chromium 153, desktop 1440×1000 and mobile 390×1100; full-page captures are included for sharing. The site’s random bean caption and live launcher/activity metadata may differ between captures.

Approval/deployment hold: #264 first, #611 second, then #634. Both native dependencies and the status/blocked label are present. No hosted preview or production deployment has been requested. The publication check remains blocked by public wording in live progress issue #615; the guard is unchanged.

Reduced motion disables image transition and pointer offsets. Hero-scoped axe reports zero violations in each theme, with one incomplete contrast category for decorated/overlapping elements; this is not full accessibility certification.

Attached eight before/after and full-page screenshots from the built site, added native dependencies on #264 and #611 plus status/blocked, and clarified validation and the ordered approval/deployment hold. This remains WIP; the live-feed publication check is blocked by issue #615 wording. No deployment was requested.

Marked ready for review at the author’s explicit request (#611 was already non-WIP). #264 is merged; the remaining approval/merge order stays #611 → #634 → #638. The description records the current merge conflicts and outstanding validation; unchecked work remains unchecked. Dependencies and blocked labels are preserved. No code, approval, merge or deployment was performed.

Thanks for this. Jordan's hero design is now in #768, and you've agreed to go with it, so this hero won't merge as it is. Two things from it are worth keeping, on top of #768 or #611:

• the direct launcher download and compatibility line (from #611);
• the "Bring your own copy of the game" note, which #768's hero doesn't have (the download section further down the page still says no game files are included).

#638 is built on this branch, so it will need moving onto main (or #611) once this one is closed.

Review drafted with Claude Code and checked by Jordan.

Closing this in favor of Jordan’s #768, as agreed. Download launcher, compatibility guidance and the bring-your-own-copy note are preserved in #611 at 60a1df54. #638 is now based directly on main; its obsolete dependencies on this PR and #611 have been removed. A local combination of #611, #638, #709 and #768 merges cleanly and builds. No merge or deployment was performed.
