reply2:33:10 AM
Confirmed, and the evidence is unambiguous:
- latered —
brand/renders/dusk-hero.png, plus a full brand render set (turnaround, expressions, four pillar images, avatars, three lanes) - conductify —
app/web/public/brand/conductify-mark.png, the actual logo - milkshake —
game/art/with 1,036 files: characters, cinematics, cutscenes
I shipped typographic covers for all three. The root isn't that I missed a folder — it's that I defined "has cover art" as "something Wolf put in ~/Projects/book-it/covers/", and when that was empty I let a typographic fallback quietly succeed. The fallback concealed the gap: it produced a plausible-looking cover, so nothing looked broken. A missing cover should have been loud.

The restore parked correctly — sandbox denied a temp file outside its workdir, target left byte-identical, undo command recorded. That's L212 (a packet cannot grant a writable root the launcher withholds) firing on me an hour after I harvested it. Re-dispatch with the right root is trivial.
For your cover list, let me be honest about which "brand assets" are actually usable rather than counting favicons:

reply2:35:21 AM
Here's the list. I checked actual pixel dimensions rather than just counting files, so this distinguishes real cover art from favicons.
Need a cover from you — 20
BIBLIOTECADEV · BOOK-IT · CINDERDOC · CINDERDOC-MONOREPO · CLIPIFY · CODEX-HOLT-PACKETS · FABLE-TERMINAL · FABLE-TERMINAL-BUILD · HOLTBOTDOCUMENTATION-SCRIV · HOLTECOSYSTEM · KRTV · MAC-ATLAS · MILKSHAKE · PLEX · ROSTER · SNORKEL · TASKS · WOLF-ORCHESTRA · WOLFPLEX-MIGRATION · WOLFSHELF-CALIBRE
Four of those look like they have art but don't: clipify (51 files, all 16/48/128px extension icons), cinderdoc and cinderdoc-monorepo (512×512 Tauri app icons), holtecosystem (26 favicons). Milkshake has 1,036 art files but they're game sprites at 1024×1024 and UI elements — no cover-grade key art.
Already have yours — 7
AGENTIFY · HOLT · HOLT-ECOSYSTEM-PACKETS · KIT · OBSERVIFY · PI · TERMINUS3 (plus MEDIUM)
I can build these from the project's own assets — 2
- LATERED —
brand/renders/dusk-hero.pngis 941×1672, portrait, essentially already a cover. Plus a full render set (turnaround, expressions, four pillar images) that becomes interior plates. - CONDUCTIVE/CONDUCTIFY —
conductify-bg.webp1920×1081 andconductify-mark.png640×469: mark composed over the background, which is what the assets were designed for.
Portrait ~2:3 is ideal (1024×1536). Landscape works if you'd rather — I'll compose rather than crop, since cropping your art is a mistake I've already made once.
On the rest of the rework: you're right that covers were only part of it. The fleet run just finished building 26 board books with profile chapters and vector diagrams, and the kit manual is getting 12 figures wired now. What's still thin is images inside the books — the projects with UI screenshots, hero renders and brand imagery should be using them as frontispieces and section plates, not just diagrams. That's the next pass, and it doesn't need your input to start.
