}01 / WHAT WORKS
Large serif type delivers the statement while small sans-serif handles projects and explanations.
Project chips such as Robinhood and Midjourney appear immediately rather than being entirely hidden in the menu.
02 / NEXT STEPS
Translucent chips sit over a reflective dark background, with weak boundaries in some areas.
Give chips a stable backing and visible focus, check contrast across background regions and retain touch-friendly dimensions.
03 / DESIGN LANGUAGE
Background
#000000Text
#ffffffParameters are element samples. Empty values are unknown, and individual samples are not site-wide rules.
04 / EVIDENCE
Values come from one capture. Fonts, radii and spacing are element samples, not a universal site-wide specification. Empty values are unknown. HTML bytes are source size, not compressed transfer size; script counts are DOM tags, not network requests.

A CSP is the standard way to limit script sources. Vibe-coded pages often load anything, including injected scripts.
Start with a report-only CSP, then default-src 'self' and an explicit script-src.
content-security-policy missing
Without nosniff, browsers may interpret a file as a different type than you sent. It is a one-line header.
Set X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff.

The default referrer can leak internal paths and query strings to third parties.
Set Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin.

05 / MAKE IT HAPPEN
Use the improvement prompt for this page, or the design prompt to borrow its visual language. “Recreate” includes references and implementation steps. Paste either into your coding assistant.
Improve the current project using the 2026-09-05T03:25:46.549Z snapshot of https://metalab.com. First identify changes since capture; do not revert newer behavior to the old snapshot.
Design baseline
A centered brand sits between menu and contact. Client projects appear as a chip list; a large serif We make interfaces statement overlays abstract material with a short positioning paragraph nearby. Mobile moves the statement upward and keeps projects below. Adapt materials, type contrast and anchors without borrowing client history.

Actions
1. Stabilize project-chip contrast
Give chips a stable backing and visible focus, check contrast across background regions and retain touch-friendly dimensions.

2. No Content-Security-Policy
Start with a report-only CSP, then default-src 'self' and an explicit script-src.
Evidence: content-security-policy missing
3. No X-Content-Type-Options
Set X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff.

4. No Referrer-Policy

Acceptance
- Check text, layout and the main action “All Work” at 1440×900 and 390×844.
- Preserve branding, authentication and business behavior. A screenshot does not prove broken interaction.
- Change only evidence-backed issues. Validate security headers against existing resources and authentication in report-only mode where supported.
- Compare before/after screenshots and run relevant functional tests. Do not claim untested behavior passed.
