## v9.0.15 dense layout taboo

Do not restore the failed v9.0.14 desktop side-rail layout, oversized type scale, huge whitespace, gray-on-gray cards, or unusable menu treatment. The current style direction is Dense Corporate Command Layout: compact top navigation, reduced type scale, tighter sections, strong contrast, and efficient use of screen real estate.

## Hard prohibitions

- Do not use unrelated Mike Kappel biography or payroll SaaS executive content.
- Do not fabricate credentials, employers, clients, awards, certifications, production claims, legal claims, security audits, or compliance claims.
- Do not use `MK` as the primary top-left symbol when the approved symbol asset exists.
- Do not reintroduce the rejected desktop side rail unless Mike explicitly asks for it again.
- Do not use huge hero fonts or excessive empty whitespace that pushes useful content below the fold.
- Do not make navigation basic, hidden, or unusable on desktop.
- Do not reintroduce the old failed CSS, oversized top navigation, huge heading scale, or whitespace-heavy layout.
- Do not convert MikeKappel.com into a client-only SPA.
- Do not hide core resume, portfolio, or research content behind JavaScript.
- Do not use generic Bootstrap/Tailwind/jQuery/Popper visual framework leakage.
- Do not expose secrets, private files, stack traces, credentials, tokens, private source paths, or private client data.
- Do not use neon AI-brain, robot-face, fantasy portal, crypto-dashboard, mystical sentience, or generic SaaS cartoon imagery.
- Do not widen AI claims beyond public-safe evidence.
- Do not treat the photography portfolio as software-delivery proof, certification, client proof, or production metric evidence.
- Do not promote raw reports from `/reports/` into public claims without explicit approval.
- Do not claim installed runtime QA unless the tested runtime proves it is serving the package under test.
