Urbs Visual Semiotics & Architecture Blueprint (v5.3)

Visual targets and verification notes for VRBS ROMA, the gamified city view in the Vox GUI, after milestone v5.3 (Phases 295–299) softened edges and raised the computer-vision quality score. It records the verified gamify unit suite, the screenshot path and the CV metrics the milestone aimed for (noise floor and visual score), a per-phase checklist of rendering changes such as walls, vaults, aqueducts and particles, and the four semiotic legend channels: AQUA for supply, IGNIS for agent work in progress, CLOACA for faults and VICTORIA for verified CI.

Verified unit suite: pnpm --dir crates/vox-gui/ui exec vitest run src/components/gamify (97/97).
