Protocol V1 governs how users move from observation to acquisition. Each entry point must feel like controlled system access rather than commodity retail. The terminal is both interface and narrative layer.

The central directive remains unchanged: authenticate intent, expose the archive, then route high-value users into the collection browser with minimal friction and maximal atmospheric coherence.

All terminal surfaces should remain monochrome-first, accented by restrained chromatic signal shifts and system telemetry rather than decorative noise.
