Status: Active document in the current doc_updates package.
Note: Older dates inside a document may describe source authorship or earlier document history. This package revision date marks the current integrated update set.
The system supports print-oriented exports such as cards or handouts with QR codes that link back to media resources.
Print output is part of the project’s practical value: online and physical formats should work together.
2026-03-17 Full Integration Additions — Output Fidelity, Formats, and Master Export Rules
Master export should favor a fidelity-preserving format such as PNG by default when the goal is archival or design-quality output.
If JPEG is offered, the docs must distinguish between high-quality intentional JPEG output and file-size-constrained convenience output.
The master path must not silently step quality downward until a file-size target is met.
Output sizing must correspond to the chosen target, including UHD 8K, DCI 8K, and portrait variants, rather than whichever resolution the live preview happens to use.
Output docs must also remind contributors that exported text and QR remain part of quality evaluation, not merely the source bitmap image.
