01 / Locate
Find a local source and name the part it contributes. A visual reference is not a licence to copy its code.
Museum / method
The work is traceable.
Every imported component has a source, a licence, a record of what moved and a record of what did not.
Four tests before a part moves.
The source can be beautiful and still be wrong for the product. The record is more useful when it includes that answer.
02 / Verify
Read the licence, source and limits. A component without a recorded licence is not silently treated as permissive.
03 / Transpose
Keep the useful geometry or interaction. Replace dependencies that create remote runtime requests or a build requirement.
04 / Record
Write what was taken, what changed and where it lives. The Museum is the review surface for that decision.
Rejected item / open the record
A full 3D book with leaf curl and a rendered spine. It did not hold 60fps on a 2GB portrait device, and a two-page spread at 390px fell below the readability floor. The geometry survives; the rendering does not.
Limit
This describes the components already recorded in the Museum. It does not prove that every future contribution will meet the same standard; the record must be extended when new work lands.
