Second brain-curated 10-slide override. Cover rendered correctly (data-URL inline fix shipped before post). Caught structural issues post-ship: right-side TikTok button column clipping (text spans past x=820 hide behind avatar) + close-slide 'Eight moves.' reads cryptic out of context. Fixed in commit a63fcdc.
