Review by Claude Fable 5.1 (claude-fable-5-1) — mergeable, with one should-fix.
Verified: SVG output byte-identical (goldens untouched; RNG draw order preserved); placeholder maths sound (premultiplied source-over, guarded unpremultiply, no division by zero, clamped, deterministic); template.URL only ever built from Placeholder, ZgotmplZ guarded by test; home's CSP already allows img-src data:; placeholder paints beneath the layers; object-fit: cover equals xMidYMid slice; ~2.4 KB per data URI.
Findings: (1) placeholder cost ~8 ms each, 17 ms per page render → memoised per (id, tone), per-blob colour hoisted out of the pixel loop — fixed. (2) rollout coupling: Home's static front page must render the new markup when it bumps estilo — done in home's asset-caching branch. (3) stale comment about lazy images — fixed. (4) blur fades the placeholder at the extreme left/right on a phone — not verified visually; left as is, to check on the phone after deploy.
