fix: replace the traced infinity mark with the real artwork; add §4 Offerings

Q32 — the traced mark was a WRONG SHAPE and had shipped. Pouya compared
it against the master and rejected it. Two grounds reproduce from the
path and are verified here: all four cubic branches meet the origin at
exactly 90 degrees, so the loops are tangent rather than crossing and at
stroke-width 28 render as two kissing circles (signed crossing number 0;
the strokes fuse across 61% of the mark's height at 2rem); and the
master's ink bbox is 2668x1704 = 1.5657:1. The path is deleted, not kept
as a fallback.

Pouya's 1.23:1 figure is reconciled rather than left dangling: it is the
bounding box of the path's COORDINATES, not the curve. Control points sit
at y +/-160 where the curve reaches +/-120, so the hull is 400x320 and
with stroke 428x348 = 1.2299. A trap rather than a slip — x is monotone,
so the control points give the right width and a 33% inflated height, and
the "does the width look right" check passes.

The real artwork is now in the repo: master, tight crop (the render
source, so the file's aspect ratio IS the mark's), full lockup, and the
SVG. InfinityMark renders AVIF/WebP; a Retina device takes 3,063 B.
Favicons regenerated; favicon.svg deleted.

Q33/Q36 — Pouya accepts arbitration appointments now. §4 gains an
Offerings category: competence for an offering, permission for a
credential, with an explicit boundary so it cannot become a route around
D13. The masthead tagline is restored, and the footer designation strip
now carries "Q.Arb — commenced August 2026" so §4's paired-disclosure
condition is actually met on every page rather than only asserted.

Two conventions added to CLAUDE.md, both earned this session: anything a
spec makes a claim about must be reachable from the repo (R14 — the
traced mark survived two review passes because the artwork was not here
to compare against); and a command that did not run is not evidence of
absence (`timeout` is not installed on macOS, so four Drive reads never
executed and were reported as an empty directory).

Reviews: claims-auditor FAIL/13 and adversarial-reviewer 2 blocking, all
resolved. The severe one was self-inflicted — `flex: none` landed on the
<img> while <Picture>'s <picture> wrapper is the flex item, so the logo
compressed to 28.5x32 at 1024px with seven nav items. The page-level
overflow check passed throughout because the brand block absorbed the
deficit by crushing the mark. Harness now asserts rendered aspect ratio.

Opened: Q38, Q39. Closed: Q32, Q33, Q36. Narrowed: Q35. Added: R13, R14.

| Component | Notes |
|---|---|
| `InfinityMark` | Inline SVG, `currentColor`, `aria-hidden` when decorative. Never a PNG |
| `SiteHeader` | **Sticky from 64rem (1024 px) up; static below it.** Practice dropdown as CSS-only `<details>`. *Amended 2026-08-26, both halves by measurement:* **(a)** the one-row header has to hold the brand, **seven** nav items and the CTA — Insights is the seventh and arrives on its own at build step 7 — and it does that at 1024 px with 32 px of clearance, not below. Under 64 rem the nav takes its own row and the header measures **137 px** at tablet widths and **185 px** at 320375 px, which is more of a small viewport than a sticky header is worth, so it scrolls away there. *(This row first said 60 rem and "~115 px". Both were wrong — the threshold moved when the seven-item case was measured, and 115 px was never a height the header took at any width. Corrected against headless-Chrome measurements at thirteen widths.)* **(b)** "Condenses on scroll" is now **a hairline rule and a shadow, not a size change.** A `position: sticky` header stays in normal flow, so its layout box sits at the top of the document whatever the viewport shows; shrinking its padding shortens that box and lifts every page below it — a scroll-linked layout shift on every page, against the CLS < 0.05 budget in `04-seo-spec.md`. Implemented with `animation-timeline: scroll()`, **longhands only** — see the note in the component about what the minifier does to the `animation` shorthand |
| `InfinityMark` | ⚠️ **Currently a raster — a documented, temporary exception to this rule** (`AGENTS.md` Q38, R13). The mark is gradient-mesh artwork rather than flat vector paths. An SVG *is* held and it renders faithfully — but at 257,278 bytes against 3,063 for the AVIF a Retina browser takes, carrying seven embedded base64 PNGs that would breach `CLAUDE.md`'s no-base64-images rule. The exception is about payload and composition, not about fidelity. It renders AVIF/WebP with a PNG fallback; a Retina device takes 3,063 B of AVIF, `alt=""` when decorative, aspect ratio pinned to `667 / 426`. **Restore this rule the moment the commissioned vector master lands.** Until then the rule stands unchanged for every other mark or icon: inline SVG, `currentColor`, `aria-hidden` when decorative, never a PNG |
| `SiteHeader` | **Sticky from 66 rem (1056 px) up; static below it.** Practice dropdown as CSS-only `<details>`. **(a)** The one-row header holds the brand, **seven** nav items and the CTA — Insights is the seventh, arriving on its own at build step 7. Binary search on the built page puts the true fit at **1047 px**; 66 rem is the clean token above it. Below 66 rem the nav takes its own row and the header measures **141 px** at tablet widths and **189 px** at 320375 px. **(b)** "Condenses on scroll" is a hairline rule and a shadow, **not a size change** — a `position: sticky` header stays in normal flow, so shrinking its padding lifts every page below it, against the CLS < 0.05 budget. Longhands only; see the component on what the minifier does to the `animation` shorthand. *(This row has been wrong twice, instructively. It first said 60 rem / "~115 px", a height the header never took. It then said 64 rem "with 32 px of clearance" — that 32 px was `.header-inner`'s own `column-gap` mistaken for slack; the real figure at 1024 px with seven items was **21.6 px**, and nothing overflowed only because flexbox crushed the logo inside the brand block. **Measure slack, not gaps.**)* |
