# VREL-081..090 — Visual acceptance and protected-source governance

Status: IN PROGRESS  
Parent batch: #244  
Parent blocker: #230  
Issue: #255  
Branch: `agent/vrel-081-090-visual-governance`

## Atomic delivery
- VREL-081 — Home acceptance row covers Android/iOS/PC references, hero/collection/Small Changes framing and product-pixel truth.
- VREL-082 — Discovery acceptance row covers Android/iOS Categories/Search media; PC fidelity remains separately blocked without an approved PC reference.
- VREL-083 — PDP acceptance row covers primary crop/zoom/variant identity and honest primary-vs-illustrative-secondary treatment; PC fidelity remains separately blocked without an approved PC reference.
- VREL-084 — Favorites acceptance row covers Android/iOS/PC White/Gray identity, crop and overlays.
- VREL-085 — Account/About acceptance row covers About dual-product media while preserving Account's no-product-media dependency.
- VREL-086 — cross-variant color consistency checklist forbids presenting recolored sibling photography as a real variant source.
- VREL-087 — alpha edge checklist requires no matte/fringe/halo/clipped product geometry and transparent corners.
- VREL-088 — baked-content contract forbids price/rating/review count/marketplace navigation/coupon/unsupported leak-proof claims/cart-checkout pixels; actual product-pixel inspection remains manual at 200% after assets exist.
- VREL-089 — normal CI now checks protected `Images/` masters with a top-anchored git diff; explicit owner-approved mutation requires `WALKA_ALLOW_PROTECTED_IMAGES_MUTATION=1` outside normal CI.
- VREL-090 — automated test reconciles source-admission five-variant IDs with resolver registry and visual acceptance coverage.

## Truth boundary
All asset-dependent visual rows remain `PENDING`; this wave does not fabricate PASS results from painted fallback. It establishes the exact matrix and CI guard required to perform/reopen acceptance safely when canonical assets arrive.

## Required validation
- [ ] Protected `Images/` CI guard passes this branch.
- [ ] Flutter Analyze Green.
- [ ] Full Flutter tests Green.
- [ ] Android release APK candidate Green.
- [ ] Merge to stable main.
