Develops and validates the visual identity carried by the root DESIGN.md.

Load one operation at a time. Preview, validate, export, and diff enter directly; brownfield authoring passes through the identity assessment first.
Workflow
greenfield, direction absent → direction → design → validate → preview
greenfield, direction given ───────────→ design → validate → preview
brownfield → identity-assessment → confirmed intent → design → validate
Every operation starts by loading discovery. A brownfield assessment may end after presenting its findings when the user asked for an audit only.
