Feature Specification: FEAT-001 — Colophon and seal mark

Feature ID: FEAT-001 Status: Specified Priority: P0 Owner: Operator Covered PRD Subsystem(s): Colophon Model; Visual Seal System Covered PRD Requirements: FR-1, FR-2, FR-3, FR-4, FR-4a, FR-5, FR-6, FR-7 Cross-Subsystem Rationale: Composition language and mark family are one capability; the mark is the visual projection of the colophon.

Overview

Makers need one composition vocabulary and one seal family for human-authored, mixed, and model-primary work—without purity coding or detector language.

Ideal Future State

A reader sees an Innsigle mark, opens the colophon, and understands how the work was made (ingredients and roles). Model names can appear as credit. Editorial tools appear as tools, not as proof of human authorship.

Problem Statement

Current situation: Human-only badges and industrial media labels exist; dual composition under one brand does not.
Pain points: Mixed and model-primary work lack a peer mark language.
Desired outcome: Stable composition enum + ingredient list + H/M/A seal family ship with guidelines.

Requirements

Functional

COLO-01. System defines composition values human-authored, mixed, model-primary. COLO-02. Colophon lists ingredients with kind in model|tool|human|other and required name. COLO-03. Guidelines forbid ranking compositions as better/worse in required fields. COLO-04. Editorial rewrite alone MUST NOT change composition to human-authored (FR-4a). SEAL-01. SVG seal family ships with base + H + M + A cues. SEAL-02. Placement guidance covers docs footer and social mark/link patterns. SEAL-03. Mark chrome forbids verified-true / purity traffic-light motifs.

Non-Functional

Marks readable at 24–32px monochrome.
State not communicated by color alone (a11y).

Acceptance sketches

ID	Scenario	Expect
COLO-04	Model draft + sloptimizer	Composition stays `model-primary`; tool listed
SEAL-01	Open mark pack	Four SVGs same family, distinct cues
