+# Season Zero — work-derived X recut
+
+A deterministic 30-second vertical teaser replacing the rejected abstract visualizer with a legible evidence chain:
+
+1. the live Stackchain Lab issue queue rendered as a work board, plus Season Zero epic #7;
+2. Vincent's issue #1 contribution receipt and independent `8 TESTS PASS` verification;
+3. the verified 2026-08-07 Daily Drop artwork and Slop Cannon scene 04 as transformation inputs;
+4. the four Episode 01 mutation cards extracted from the verified pilot render;
+5. the audience gate: **WHICH TIMMY GETS TO REMEMBER THIS?**
+
+The persistent pipeline rail, moving scan, board drift, source pan/zoom, transfer beam, card reveals, and orbiting final forms make one continuous transformation rather than a static screenshot slideshow.
+
+## Artifacts
+
+- [`stackchain-season-zero-work-recut.mp4`](stackchain-season-zero-work-recut.mp4) — delivery master
+- [`contact-sheet.jpg`](contact-sheet.jpg) — six-frame review strip
+- [`stills/`](stills/) — five representative full-size review frames
+- [`build_work_recut.py`](build_work_recut.py) — deterministic renderer and original synthesized soundtrack
+- [`source/`](source/) — checksummed work-derived image inputs
+
+## Revised X copy — 216 characters
+
+> Real work enters the Slop Cannon: a live Timmy/Vincent queue, contribution receipts, 8/8 verification, Daily Drop art, and four mutations.
+>
+> Wizard. Machine. Creature. Talking Turd.
+>
+> Which Timmy gets to remember this?
+
+**Do not publish without approval in human gate #15.**

+## Input provenance
+
+- `daily-drop-door-phone.png` is the verified Daily Drop preview at `/root/daily-drop/drops/2026-08-07/the-door-that-refused-a-master-key-phone.png`; SHA-256 `9a72358821414328de129a96461b1f4265be356987f4009037e5ae2f0cab138a`.
+- `cannon-scene-04.png` is scene 04 from `/root/tiktok-slop-cannon/drops/2026-08-07-1786114450/`; SHA-256 `3080c4135c1595251097387b1e9b8a6022688c3f3ed3db4a919ed9e347d51a15`, matching its source manifest.
+- The four mutation images were extracted at 5s, 9s, 13s, and 17s from `episode01-four-timmy-mutations.mp4` on branch `timmy/8-four-timmy-mutations`, commit `afa304dc6b5d9d3cc0ede17d6f4f0dfb67fc6b70`; source MP4 SHA-256 `5ddc9a9da1b4b2456faf0b390e5c1be0d3cf48112b417fc075473c90e335d1e4`.
+- Board, epic, receipt, and test copy are drawn from Gitea issues #7 and #1 and their complete comments read before rendering. The work-board composition is an editorial rendering of that live queue state, not a claim that Gitea supplied a screenshot endpoint.
