# Current Direction

READ:
- Freshest Windows source: `research/raw/private/swapple_windows_pc_grab/2026-05-20/files-mentioned-by-the-user-swappable`.
- Active layout request from Windows chat: Olympian-style leaderboard.
- Key screenshots:
  - `screenshots/olympian-leaderboard/10_mobile_olympian_leaderboard_light.png`
  - `screenshots/olympian-leaderboard/11_mobile_olympian_leaderboard_dark.png`
  - `screenshots/olympian-leaderboard/12_iab_mobile_leaderboard_light.png`
- Prototype source now implements the Olympian leaderboard directly in `prototype/scenes-leaderboard.jsx`.
- Interactive flow reuses that same leaderboard view through `prototype/scenes-proto.jsx`.
- Desktop view was aligned to the same current `Local Tester` / top-scores model in `prototype/scenes-extras.jsx`.

DECIDE:
- Treat the Olympian leaderboard as the current lead idea, not an alternate.
- Keep the giftable package framed as a non-invasive redesign preview.
- Lead Dad with the leaderboard: top-three apple medals, podium, current-player rank card, then score list.
- Keep route decision secondary. This can still be implemented as the current in-game full-screen surface.

ASSUME:
- Goal is to continue from the Windows design work, not restart the design exploration.
- Dad should receive a bootable preview plus clear Codex porting guidance.
- The copied repo/prototype is sandbox material; no production code is touched.

RISK:
- Prototype scaffolding can look like production code if handed off without boundaries.
- Olympian visual treatment is more expressive than the current app; Dad may ask to tighten it.
- `12_iab_mobile_leaderboard_light.png` is a narrow in-app-browser capture and should be treated as fit evidence, not the prettiest presentation.

VERIFY:
- Olympian screenshots were copied into this package.
- Existing package preview rendered locally from `prototype/index.html`.
- Mobile light/dark leaderboard artboards were re-rendered and visually checked after the polish pass.
- Interactive prototype leaderboard was clicked, allowed to settle after animation, and range tabs were checked.
- Desktop leaderboard artboard was re-rendered and visually checked after the data/layout alignment.
- Annotated fixes applied across light, dark, desktop, Week, and All Time states: no redundant header labels, no visible leaderboard times, no right-side `Score` column label, no pop-up close control, padded podium rank plinths, and adjusted top-three apple medal sizes.
- Package zip was rebuilt after this direction and polish update.

NEXT:
- Hand off the package, or do only small final taste tweaks around the Olympian leaderboard.
