Taste Identity: marks that survive 16px

Reads brand-guidelines.md (run taste-brand Light first if missing). Writes the logo section back into it.

Originality rule: original geometry and naming only. Never recreate, trace or "inspired-by" an existing company mark, mascot or character. From a reference, extract abstract principles and design something new.

Logo process

1. Inputs: name, one-liner, personality sliders, 3 keywords, up to 5 domain metaphors.
2. Diverge: 3 concepts, each a different structure (wordmark, symbol + wordmark, monogram, abstract mark) and style family (references/logo-system.md). Options must differ in idea, not only color.
3. Rationale: one sentence each: what it signals, why it fits.
4. Construct: clean SVG on a grid (rules in references). No raster effects, filters or gradients unless the brand mandates them.
5. Stress test: 16px favicon, 32px app icon, one color, reversed on dark, on a busy photo with scrim, grayscale, 25mm print.
6. Select and refine: optical alignment, spacing, weight; export all variants.

Quality gate

• Legible at 16px, recognisable in one color, passes grayscale.
• Mark vs background at least 3:1 on every approved surface.
• Original: no resemblance to well-known marks.
• Variants consistent in proportion and spacing.
• SVG clean, role="img" + <title>, currentColor or CSS variables.
• Usage spec written to brand-guidelines.md §4.
