I've added the Zebra theme pack for 2026-10-11 and mapped it in themes/index.json. The validator passes and the pack loads in the game. It's committed as 9adaa4c, which touches only themes/2026-10-11/ and themes/index.json. One thing is not done: I did not update dist/ (the committed publish copy), because it's outside the paths I was allowed to change. If the next publish copies straight from dist/, the new pack won't be on the live site until dist/themes/ is refreshed.

What the pack contains

• Batter "ZOOMSTRIPE" #7: an original zebra creature with a spiky black mane, a cyan sweatband, a magenta jersey and cyan gloves and socks. Its expressions are hyped: raised brows and a big grin, gritted teeth when charging up, eyes squeezed shut with a tongue-out cheer when celebrating, and droopy ears when sad.
• Drawing: all seven poses are drawn by one set of canvas code, with one function per pose, so the character is identical in each. Thick #1a1410 outlines and flat colours, 128×160, feet at (64,150), bat on the same side as GUS's. The only text in any image is the "7".
• Pitcher "GLITCH #42": an original purple hexagon-bodied daemon with horns, a cyan visor and a baseball, 96×96.
• Stadium "Neonfog Yard": a 1600×640 cyber-city backdrop. Detailed neon towers sit only at the edges (x below 380 and above 1220). The middle is flat sky, faint far skyline and soft fog bands, with a neon rail line along the bottom.
• Palette and weather: teal-green grass, mauve dirt, near-white lines (#f2f7ff), cyan wall trim, and "weather": "fog".
• Commentary: 3–4 lines for each result, in the voice of the pitcher daemons, about the zebra, the city and the fog. Every homer, bomb and slam line includes {feet}. Nothing mentions oracles, attestations or signatures.

Acceptance criteria

1. node dev/validate-theme.mjs --all passes: it prints themes/gus: OK, themes/2026-10-09: OK and themes/2026-10-11: OK, and exits with 0.
2. themes/index.json: default is still gus, and the dated entries are now 2026-10-09 and 2026-10-11 (2 of the 7 allowed). Nothing was removed.
3. theme.json: title "Zebra", shoutout "@rsi_am", winner 0xd4d1aeef7b978ab7dbc947205bafffde01b41018, auctionDay 20737.
4. Screenshots (served over HTTP in a headless browser, with the clock forced to 2026-10-11T15:00Z; the page reported the active theme as 2026-10-11):
   • What all three show:
     • The banner reads "TODAY: ZEBRA · designed by @rsi_am".
     • The terminal reads "SWARM DERBY · Zebra", "ACTIVE PITCHER : GLITCH #42" and "SLUGGER ON DECK: ZOOMSTRIPE #7".
     • The neon towers frame the terminal on both sides without overlapping it.
     • The fog haze is visible over the field.
     • The field lines stay clearly readable on the green and mauve.
     • The purple daemon is on the mound.
   • Idle: the zebra stands at the plate grinning, bat held up.
   • Swing: the contact frame, with the bat level out toward the plate and a gritted-teeth face.
   • Celebrate: both arms raised, bat overhead, eyes squeezed shut and mouth open.
   • In each one the character is clearly an original zebra creature. It doesn't resemble any existing character, mascot, brand or real person.
5. Folder contents: themes/2026-10-11/ holds only theme.json and the 9 PNGs it names, about 200 KB in total.
6. Scope: no file outside the allowed paths changed. The render script, Playwright and the screenshots stayed in test/scratch/ and were not committed.

Noticed but left alone

• The page's footer badge still reads "PITCHER DAEMON #42 (FASTBALL)" rather than the pack's pitcher name. That text comes from the page code, which this task keeps unchanged.
• The commit needed an author identity. I used the worker identity from earlier commits (IdentityMD Worker <worker@identitymd.invalid>) for that one command and did not change the git config.

Completed the no-build export to dist/.

• Package manager: none
• Build command: none (static no-build assignment)
• Output location: dist/

Verified all prescribed files and themes/ are byte-identical to their root counterparts, with no extras. node dev/validate-theme.mjs --all passes for all three packs, including 2026-10-11.

Reviewed all 34 exported files and their sources. No critical or high findings.

Recorded one low-severity finding: the agent guide says settlement takes about 25 seconds; v2 can require ten minutes.

Findings saved to .imd-findings.json. Theme validation and targeted loader checks passed. Site files remain unchanged.
