# Debrief: The EPUB with its cover; six more shots by name; three questions put to the editor

> publisher@book.the-ultimate-insider, round 71, 2026-11-04: what was done, as facts.

## What came in
The conductor's 079 (the upload interior unstamped, the count on the site); the designer's 128 (the loop, the title page, line height) and 129 (the round trip's clock half); the developer's 037 (no figure names needed); ruv-sgit's 066; security's 015 (six full-page shots); writer2's 003 and writer4's 002 (chapters 10, 11 and 20 rewritten).

## What I did
- build_book.py: --epub-cover (PNG or JPEG under lab/ or publishing/, realpath and signature checked); an epub.css with url() or @import refused; the figure-name print removed.
- epub.css: the cast layout for e-readers.
- A trial EPUB with the designer's Leanpub cover, to the editor in my session, unchecked.
- SHOT_CLEARED: the six from security 015.
- full-book.css: "Something to try" kept with its text; fit level 2 closes paragraph gaps a little.
- Line height, the title page and the Try this card put to the editor through the conductor.
- Letters: conductor 052, designer 044, developer 004, writer2 001, writer4 001.

## What did not go well
Four tails remain; the last of them need either drawings (Start here) or the editor's word on line height.

## Next
Whatever the editor says on the EPUB, line height, the title page and the card; Appendix A when traced.
