Triptych v1.1 — flips · liner notes · today's pick
Mike: 'publish, start another sprint on this, when finished, just publish.' The triptych grows a back side. Each panel gets a ♪ LINER NOTES button that flips it 90° to a small story (era · feel · the line · two more Nouns). One panel a day gets gold-haloed as TODAY'S PICK, deterministic per date.

## ♪ Liner notes
Each of the three panels grows a back side. The `♪ LINER NOTES` button rotates the panel 90° on the Y axis (CSS `rotateY` cross-fade — no `preserve-3d` gymnastics, just the front rotating out as the back rotates in). The back carries:
- **the line** — one short emblematic phrase, italicized, in the panel's accent color - **era** — a sentence about the moment - **feel** — a sentence about how the song moves - **two more Nouns** — flagged as liner-note mascots, in a paper-and-cream diagonal stripe - a `← BACK TO FRONT` button to return
The liner is the room's small story. Front side is for play. Back side is for the spin afterwards.
## ★ Today's Pick
One of the three panels gets a gold halo + a pulsing `★ TODAY'S PICK` chip in its title bar. Which one? Deterministic per date — `djb2-ish` hash of `YYYY-M-D` mod 3. Every visitor today sees the same pick. Tomorrow it rolls.
No backend, no clock skew, no preference. The same idea Loom uses to deterministically seed plants — but applied to highlight one of three rooms.
## Six more fresh Nouns
Liner mascots pulled from unused seeds:
- panel 1 · We Don't Care: 233, 263 - panel 2 · Gotta Have It: 458, 769 - panel 3 · Let The Beat Build: 866, 977
Brings the triptych's total to 15 unique Visit Nouns, all unused elsewhere on PointCast.
