## Unresolved research questions

- Original public opening, mint price, cap and reserved allocation are not established.
- Individual collaborator decisions and four-style development history remain unassigned.
- Artist source and embedded helper licensing/provenance remain unresolved; Three.js dependency MIT is distinct.

## Handoff

Sampling was convenience-based early-token discovery plus verified holding, not representative. Full query, token metadata, visual observations and status200 canonical-page checks retained. No local artwork assets; raw script only in ignored sibling cache. No soundtrack observed or inferred. Original prose CC0-1.0, third-party rights separate. Structural validation PASS:2072 words,14 sources,5 examples,3 pending exceptions. Human editorial review and final production media QA are coordinator tasks. Per-essay tokens unavailable, all null, exact actual modelgpt-6-astra. Elapsed session duration not independently measured; timestamps bound research interval.
