Design 3 substrate/federation icons: lineage, drift, defederation.

Icons:

  • spel.lineage (PUA E903) — gravitational substrate & genealogy
  • spel.drift (PUA E904) — drift signature marker
  • spel.defederation (⛓️) — jurisdictional defederation

Status: Themeable, pending-pua
Priority: P4 — Foundational concepts
Effort: 2–3 hours each

Design Notes

  • lineage: Deep, connected. Consider: roots, gravity well, spiral, chain
  • drift: Change in progress. Consider: wave, deviation, trail, shift
  • defederation: Breaking connection. Consider: broken chain, divergence, fork

Acceptance

  • Icons designed
  • SVG + PNG delivered
  • PUA assigned
  • Registry updated
  • Approved

Delivered: 3 icons

  • spel.lineageBrand/exports/icons/SPELWork/spel.lineage.svg + .png — PUA U+E903 (already reserved)
  • spel.driftBrand/exports/icons/SPELWork/spel.drift.svg + .png — PUA U+E904 (already reserved)
  • spel.defederationBrand/exports/icons/SPELWork/spel.defederation.svg + .png — PUA U+E92D (proposed)

SVG is a single compound path, no white fill anywhere. PNG is 512px with a transparent background. Delivered in Toilville/toilville-design#74, on branch feat/spelwork-icon-delivery, at Brand/exports/icons/SPELWork/ — pending review, not yet on main.

Token order follows this issue body and its design notes: rooted glyph -> lineage ("roots, gravity well, spiral"), wave stack -> drift ("wave, deviation, trail"), separating linked blocks -> defederation ("broken chain, divergence, fork").

Method

Icons were drawn as two-tone artwork (black shapes with white shapes and strokes standing in for holes) and then flattened to a single <path fill="#000000" fill-rule="evenodd"> with real transparency where the white used to be. The flattening respects paint order and handles fill and stroke separately, so a white shape carrying a black stroke produces a hole inset by half the stroke width -- matching what the original actually rendered -- and white strokes over black become transparent gaps. Each result was verified by compositing it back over white and pixel-diffing against the original: 24 of 25 under 0.4% differing pixels, the remaining one (phylactery) at 3.1%, all of it in corner rounding rather than structure.

Acceptance status

  • Icons designed
  • SVG + PNG delivered — Toilville/toilville-design#74
  • PUA assigned — U+E92D proposed, needs sign-off (these tokens currently sit on OpenMoji and have no codepoint at all)
  • Registry updated — blocked: ReservedToken.assetStatus is typed "openmoji" | "pending-pua", so there is no value that describes shipped house-style art. Needs a third value (e.g. "house") before the registry can represent these correctly.
  • Approved

Leaving this open until Toilville/toilville-design#74 merges and the PUA allocation plus the assetStatus type change are agreed.

Delivered by #74 (merged 55bed76, feat(icons): deliver 25 flattened SPELWork house-style icons). The requested icons ship as SVG+PNG under Brand/exports/icons/SPELWork/: spel.lineage, spel.drift, spel.defederation — verified present as clean SVG+PNG pairs on main.

Closing as delivered. (Any outstanding PUA-codepoint / registry-registration follow-up, if not already covered, is separate from this design deliverable.)
