JP's spec for the heard-age scale, replacing the four-step ladder: white
under 5 minutes, then yellow at 5m, light red at 1h, brown at 1d, red at
1w, light grey at 1mo, and one cold grey for over a year — which is also
"never heard", since past a year the distinction stops earning a colour.
The `heat.*` styles are renamed for what they describe: a node heard
eight minutes ago is `heat.minutes`, one heard eight days ago is
`heat.days`. The old hot/warm/cool/cold read as temperature but had to
carry an age, and at seven rungs that stopped being sayable. The steps
themselves move into a table, so the ladder is one thing to read.
Three of the seven land in the VT's dim bank, so they say `not bold` — a
selected row would otherwise jump them a rung (brown to yellow, red to
light red), which is the one way a heat colour can lie about an age.
The splash wordmark's vertical ramp becomes white / yellow / light red /
red / light black, each picked to quantize onto exactly one palette slot
(15, 11, 9, 1, 8) while staying a warm fade in truecolour. Its rows are
art rather than renderables, so they had never passed through the fold
and the console was downsampling them on its own — they do now, which is
what makes the slot choice hold.
