Covault Canvas

Every deck, memo, and one-pager Covault ships should look like Covault, not like the tool that made it. Canvas makes that the default: one brand fingerprint, compiled once, applied to every surface.

The fingerprint moat

A fingerprint is a small YAML file the server compiles into CSS variables, prompt prefixes, and motion tokens. Nothing about a house look leaks back in, because there is no house look to leak.

• Per-brand palette, type, motion, and imagery, resolved to --fp-* tokens
• Enumerated motion presets, never free-form animation
• Server-compiled and content-hashed, so the same input is the same bundle
• Four renderers (HTML, PDF, deck, Notion) read the one compiled bundle

4 renderers, 1 fingerprint. The brand is defined once and every output inherits it.

How a page is made

You write a .canvas.md in plain Markdown. Directives request on-brand media, which the asset pipeline fills; in this preview they render as branded placeholders.

This page is proof the loop is closed: Markdown in, a self-contained, on-brand page out. No stylesheet to link, no theme to wire, no drift from the house look.
