The four heights
The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

Execute — do the immediate task
+I need the badge artwork finalized with correct strokes. Convert the 2pt strokes on the main circle to aligned-inside, remove any unnecessary stroke profiles, and make the accent stroke dashed at 4/3 spacing. Do this on badge_v3.ai and confirm appearance across 100% and 200% zoom.

Improve — make it easier to accept
+Before I send the logo pack, make the fills and strokes reviewer-friendly: surface which objects use global colors, call out any strokes using variable profiles or brush strokes that won't translate to plain SVG or print, and suggest simple fallbacks so the logo scales cleanly.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+Strokes look heavier when exported to SVG.
I set strokes to 1px and they appear thicker on the developer's build. The dev says SVGs interpret stroke alignment differently and the site scales SVGs. I can't tell if the issue is stroke alignment, viewBox, or device pixel ratio. What's the most likely cause and the quickest test to isolate it?

Become — change the pattern
+We battle stroke inconsistencies across formats.
Each release we argue about whether to outline strokes or keep them editable and developers complain about SVG quirks. This causes last-minute fixes and version sprawl. What rule about strokes and fills should become our default at design start to avoid format breakage?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
