Six scenes from one fixed-seed world (seed 8675309): a plains village among
savanna hills, sunset over it and the river, moonrise over its lit square, a
crimson forest with a zombified piglin, tropical fish over a warm-ocean coral
reef, and survival at dusk with a zombie and the full HUD. Plus Horizon's own
title, Singleplayer, Video options and pause screens.
Captured with horizon-ctl screenshot from the offscreen client (fullscreen
2560x1286 on the Mac mini, default graphics settings, GUI scale Auto), scenes
cropped to 16:9 and menus to 16:10 (left-aligned) and scaled to the old sizes
(1600x900, 1280x800). The scene sources are JPEGs in docs/media again, the
names scripts/assets.mjs already reads; the README's WebP copies are the
rebuilt website media. Alt texts and LEGAL.md follow the new pictures.
The launcher screenshots are unchanged: the Mac mini's session is locked, so
no window capture works.

What works on main today (install, game files, first run, server.toml, the commands, the web panel,
backups, services, Docker built by hand) and, plainly, what doesn't yet: offline mode only, no
published image, no secure chat or locator bar, the open PRs that are coming. The site renders the
guide into /server at build time, so it has one source. The CSP hashes now cover every page's inline
script, so the privacy page's theme script is allowed too.

/privacy says what the launcher may send when a player allows it (performance
summaries, crash and bug reports, benchmark uploads), why, on what basis,
where it is kept and for how long, and how to delete it. The footer links it.

The icon files kept their names while the server lets browsers cache /favicon*
for a week, so visitors still saw the old mark. The pages now link each icon
with its content hash (?v=…), and the build writes /favicon.ico (the 32-pixel
PNG in an ICO container) for browsers that ask for it on their own.

The README banner is redrawn in the new design (docs/media/banner.html), and the launcher and
menu screenshots (README and website) are the restyled ones. The website's launcher section
gains a Launcher tab: its screenshots no longer show the old background, whose licence was
never confirmed.

The page now reads the design tokens generated from crates/horizon-theme (src/tokens.css, put
before style.css by build.mjs), and follows the system's light or dark appearance, with a
toggle that remembers the choice. The full-screen sunset hero is replaced by type: a headline,
one paragraph, the download, and an index list of what the page holds. Every section is a mono
label, a display heading and its content as numbered rows with one-pixel rules: the facts, the
fourteen subsystems, the launcher's features, the community links. Rows fade a soft plate in
under the pointer; content arrives with a short fade, rise and unblur. The footer ends on the
giant faint wordmark. The 404 page and the social preview (og.html) follow.
Instrument Serif, the hero images, the parallax, the statement fill and the magnetic buttons
are gone; the icons come from Horizon's new mark (xtask icons). Touch targets are 44 px high.

The mark is an H whose crossbar is the horizon: a violet line edge to edge, the stems above it
and their reflection below at a third, on whole units of a 16-unit grid so it stays sharp at
16 px. docs/media/brand holds the SVG masters (square icon, macOS tile, avatars, the mark for
light and dark backgrounds), the two alternatives that were shown with it, the GitHub social
preview and the Discord banner, and a README of what goes where and how to upload what only
Ludovic's accounts can.
`cargo run -p xtask -- icons` renders the masters (rsvg-convert) and packs, in plain Rust:
packaging/icons/horizon.ico and horizon.icns, Linux's hicolor icons 16–512 and the scalable
SVG, the game's run-time window icon, the avatars and the website's favicons.
packaging/linux has .desktop entries for the launcher and the game.
On Windows, build.rs embeds the .ico as icon resource 1 in horizon-client (and its tools) and
horizon-launcher (winresource, a Windows-only build dependency); gpui loads that resource as
the launcher's window icon. The game window sets the icon itself (X11, Windows) and names
itself `horizon` on Wayland so the desktop entry matches.

docs/design-system.md describes the new design language (after mkdir.directory: type as the
interface, numbered index lists with hairline rules, one violet accent, space instead of
borders, quiet motion, a faint wordmark) and its tokens, components, surfaces and mark.
crates/horizon-theme now holds the whole system: the two palettes (cool neutrals, light and
dark, each text colour checked against WCAG AA on every background by a test), the type scale
with web sizes, spacing, radii, rules, control heights and motion with CSS easing curves.
Instrument Serif is gone; display type is Geist at medium weight.
`cargo run -p xtask -- tokens` writes website/src/tokens.css from the crate, and a test fails
when the file is out of date. The launcher and the game's menus read the new names through
small adapters; the restyles follow in their own changes.

launcher.yml releases the launcher by itself: after a push to main that changes launcher/,
crates/horizon-prepare or crates/horizon-theme, hourly, and by hand, with the game's rules
(tools/release_train.py decide --kind launcher: player-facing pull requests and a 3-hour cooldown,
release-now, skip-release, RELEASES_PAUSED). launcher-vX.Y.Z is the next patch, or the next minor after a
pull request labelled feature. Linux on ubuntu-22.04, Windows on GitHub, macOS on the Mac mini's runner;
published with --latest=false.
No version-bump commits: VERSION reads HORIZON_LAUNCHER_VERSION with option_env!, falling back to
Cargo.toml's, and --version, the User-Agent and the self-update comparison use it; each build checks
--version says the release's version.
With several game releases a day, the newest launcher release soon falls out of the newest 100 (launcher)
or 30 (website) releases: both now look the newest launcher-v tags up one by one when the list has none.

The README keeps the parity table, and its known differences move to a
Known issues section. The website drops the What's next section and its
nav links, and no longer fetches or requires a Roadmap section. The
launcher drops its What's next page, `next` subcommand and `roadmap`
MCP tool.

Lists the GitHub contributors of ludovic111/horizon (bots left out, the
owner first) with avatar, login, commit count and a link to the profile.
Built in by build.mjs like the releases (the build still succeeds when
GitHub does not answer, and the block stays hidden until the page loads
it) and refreshed by the page from the API. Adds a nav and menu entry,
lets avatars.githubusercontent.com through img-src, and updates the
README, LEGAL.md and the privacy note.

The launcher's palette, violet accent, Instrument Serif and Geist, without its sidebar
and settings rows: a full-viewport hero over Horizon's own sunset (slow drift,
parallax, grain), then sections for what it is (a statement that lights up as it
scrolls), a screenshot mosaic, the parity count and a grid of the 14 subsystems, the
launcher beside Horizon's own menus, the latest patch notes, the roadmap, community
and the footer. Reveals, staggered letters and magnetic buttons stop under
prefers-reduced-motion; a translucent top bar and a full-screen phone menu replace
the sidebar.
playhorizon.dev: canonical, og:url, absolute og/twitter images, sitemap.xml and its
robots.txt line, and a 301 from *.up.railway.app (Railway's healthcheck host is still
served).
The full-page screenshots are no longer committed (about 17 MB): `npm run shots`
writes them to the gitignored shots/. The unused blurred background is gone; LEGAL.md
lists the hero and the settings screenshot.

website/ holds Horizon's site: the horizon-theme tokens and bundled fonts, the
launcher's sidebar, rows, buttons and segmented control, over Horizon's own frozen
landscape. The parity table, harness count and roadmap are generated from the README
at build time; releases, patch notes, the roadmap and links.json are refreshed in the
browser from GitHub, with the build's copy as fallback. The download button picks the
newest launcher-v* asset for the visitor's OS.
Legal: the Minecraft disclaimer in the hero, footer and 404; no Minecraft logo or
wordmark; no game files; the launcher's background (licence unconfirmed) and the
screenshots showing it are left out; LEGAL.md lists every asset and its licence. No
cookies, analytics or third-party assets.
Railway: root directory website, Dockerfile (Node build, Caddy on $PORT with a strict
CSP). Checked with Playwright at 360-1920 px and 1250x700 (docs/widths/); Lighthouse
96/100/96/92 on mobile, 100/100/96/92 on desktop.
