Intent Canvas

Architecture canvas at /canvas. Active. Not a brochure skin picker.

/canvas is the Intent Plan architecture canvas (IslArchitectureCanvas), also embedded as a Studio tab. Creative-canvas doctrine: it does not seed ProjectSpec and it does not mint a ShipGate verdict. Visual truth still comes from ISL through the compiler.

Canvas-sealed sidecars (canvas-design-handoff.json, design-pack-seal.json) are non-authoritative reference inputs. A seal never overrides behavioral ISL.

Listed here because it exists and it is easy to oversell as “the builder.” It is a plan surface. The compile still has to happen.
