Investigate the source of SAIL website orange and design drift in local skill and routine files. Scope was read-only.
Searched /Users/samaguiar/Documents/Projects/Skills, /Users/samaguiar/Documents/Projects/routines-build, /Users/samaguiar/Documents/Projects/AGENTS.md, and /Users/samaguiar/Documents/Projects/AI-CONVENTIONS.md for rules involving Foundry orange #D97706, old #f89c22, orange backgrounds, orange buttons, gradients, design reversion, and practice-area CTA behavior.
The strongest drift source is policy mismatch: root instructions and sail-design-foundation say solid Foundry orange button fills are permitted under contrast constraints, while several active skills and routine validators still enforce older broad bans such as orange is never a background, orange-filled buttons fail, or no orange button backgrounds. These broad bans can cause agents to overwrite approved orange-filled CTA components or reject drafts built from approved local snippets.
Key high-risk files identified:
Skills/firm-reference/SKILL.md, broad never a background wording for #D97706.Skills/sail-ui-kit/SKILL.md, stale banned pattern for orange-filled buttons and old rgba values.Skills/wp-deploy/SKILL.md, hard QA language forbidding orange button backgrounds and orange borders on white.Skills/website-rules-new/SKILL.md, strongest hard-fail rule banning orange on buttons, badges, pills, and icon backgrounds.Skills/pre-publish-qa/SKILL.md, correct practice-area-specific button ban plus a broad No orange backgrounds rule that needs scope clarification.Skills/sa-editorial-design/SKILL.md, internally contradictory rule: orange never background, then orange used on CTA fill.routines-build/new_content_pipeline/pipeline_orchestrator.py, regex hard-fails any background containing #D97706, including approved buttons.Nothing was edited, staged, pushed, or deployed. This was a read-only audit.
The requested source map was completed and the session export was created.
A future agent can update the conflicting skills and routine validators with rollback copies. The safest correction is to make sail-design-foundation the canonical color authority and then scope all bans: no orange section, card, banner, gradient, form-submit, or practice-area button backgrounds unless an approved design element explicitly allows a Foundry orange UI/button fill with black text or sufficiently large white text. The new_content_pipeline validator should inspect element context instead of failing any background:#D97706 regex hit.
