Moses — threshold of the Presence
Provisional Legendary Normal composition by Astra Medium. This candidate makes the pillar of cloud the shared gesture between illustration and card: its crown passes in front of the name field, and its substantial lower lobes enter the verse field. The original attached curtain continues down the left edge. The panels sit behind those materials instead of advertising a specially cut panel corner.

Design
The story here is intimate access to the divine Presence at the tent threshold. The cloud supplies the luminous ivory, champagne and opal silhouette; the tent supplies the burgundy and gold material. Both belong to Moses's existing scene. A restrained gold enclosure and warm ivory fields let those illustrated forms carry the identity. No David mantle or leaf motif is borrowed.
The verse is set in three substantial lines to the right of the cloud, preserving its exact wording without quotation marks. The text deliberately occupies the unobstructed part of the backing. The title remains MOSES; the reference remains Deuteronomy 34:10 • ESV. All lettering uses the repository P052 faces and is generated deterministically.
Source and scope
The selected ../../source/art-master.png remains unchanged, at its original 2000 × 2800 coordinates. Foreground SVG clips re-show its existing cloud and curtain above the panels. A short seven-pixel dark lead arc closes the lowest cloud lobe where the original scene's rocky ground interrupted its silhouette. This is an editable contour treatment, not regenerated source art.
A separate generated curtain adaptation was attempted with built-in imagegen, but generation failed before reading the image because the environment's filesystem sandbox helper reported bwrap: loopback: Failed RTM_NEWADDR: Operation not permitted. No generated donor exists or is used. This candidate is the completed SVG-native cloud direction.
Run python3 in-progress/cards/BP-001-moses/revisions/v03/review/layout-preview-astra-v3/build-preview.py from the repository. Inkscape, Fontconfig, Pillow and NumPy are required. The builder checks font hashes and glyph coverage, exact content, measured glyph bounds, opaque backing coverage, zero foreground/text overlap, and preservation of the source hash. Verse spacing is 77 master pixels from its upper rule and 86 pixels to the reference ink.
Static card-size and enlarged-join inspection completed. This remains a review candidate: no production printing exports, finish masks, harness fixtures, promotion or final approval were produced. The existing v1/v2 review folders and production assets are untouched.
