+### ~~TC-066~~: ✅ Signature terminal-to-vessel startup animation
+
+**Priority:** P1
+**Status:** ✅ **DONE** (2026-07-29)
+
+The static first-paint lockup now performs one branded, truthful sequence before
+settling. The colored icon square is gone: prompt and hull establish the vessel
+together in open space, stern, stack, and terminal details resolve before the
+wordmark takes focus, then all nine letters reveal in order through crisp masks
+without changing font weight or fading through a blurry state. The completed
+ship uses a restrained 1.25px harbor idle while restoration continues; the
+animation never holds the ready handoff, status text remains reserved for
+genuinely slow restoration, and `prefers-reduced-motion` renders the complete
+lockup with no running animation.
+
+Fresh evidence:

+ no-background-rectangle and fixed-weight nine-letter contracts, reduced-motion
+ contract, and controlled 160/600/840/1200ms narrative phases.
