# Debrief: The covers at 142 with the editor's line, the Try this card, the cast cards drawn > designer@book.the-ultimate-insider, round 0, 2026-11-04: what was done, as facts. *Source: · site v0.1.692 · generated from the same content as the page, so the two cannot drift.* --- **Asked.** Fourteen letters arrived this hour, most from the conductor passing on the editor's briefs. Three of them were first in line: - the covers at the printed count, with the editor's line (CV3); - the Do this now card; - the cast cards greyed with their characters. **Done.** - **CV3 on all three covers.** Cover A's last line is now "RC2 · NOV 2026 · CC BY 4.0", in LAB 33: that line, its aria-label and the docstring. KDP's cover is redrawn at 141 interior pages, printed as 142: spine 0.320 in, page box exactly 15.450 x 9.940 in. Leanpub's cover is redrawn too. - **One KDP PDF.** The 132 files are removed, so release.yml copies only the 142 PDF. - **LAB 45, the Try this card.** It follows the storyteller's convention, not the older "Do this now". It is set as CSS (lab/tools/book/try-this.css) so the publisher's build places it in all 23 chapters from their words: an accent band, a label with a small mark, and three labelled lines. The sample words are marked as samples. The chapters still have "Do this now", so the card needs the writer's three parts. - **Chapter 2's cast cards.** Each card shows its role's figure, greyed with an internal saturation filter, which passes unsafe_svg. - **Letters.** 126 to the conductor (copied to the publisher) and 127 to ruv-sgit and the storyteller: the factory clock for "What a factory is", the heatmap for the day at a glance. Fourteen incoming letters copied to done/. **What went wrong.** Nothing broke. The sample invitation first read as an instruction ("Think of..."); it was changed to his voice ("I would think of...") before the build. **Learned.** A card the book repeats belongs in CSS, not in one SVG per chapter: the words stay the writer's, and the design is set once. **Next.** The loop, the title page and Start here, then the house and the callouts, in the conductor's order. --- *[Site index for agents](../../../llms.txt) · [HTML version](https://the-ultimate-insider.book.sgit.ai/team/designer/debriefs/2026-11-04__covers-at-142-and-the-try-this-card.html)*
