Day-1 linchpin of the zero-DOM Cognitive OS. Every label, receipt id, and
number in the dashboard now renders as glowing in-canvas MSDF glyphs instead
of DOM text. Checked-in JetBrains Mono mtsdf atlas (512x512, 95 glyphs) +
loader + pure layout helper + FramePass + trap-checked WGSL.
Built by a GPT-5.5 swarm against an adversarially-verified spec (5 verifiers
+ 3 skeptics caught 6 silent-fail traps before a line was written: V-flip,
release-binary atlas embed, base-path fetch, linear rgba8unorm, premultiplied
blend, ASCII-only charset). Conductor live-GPU audit on the real dashboard
found one more at runtime: the aspect transform pushed text off-screen in
portrait; fixed to keep glyphs square in both orientations.
Renders cyan, crisp, upright, glowing, glyph-by-glyph, landscape + portrait.
check 0 errors, build green, golden V-flip test 2/2.
