## Painting signature
- **Mark:** `R. Kammer` hairline fountain-pen stroke in soft brass `rgb(168,136,92)` (~72% peak opacity), lower-right, inset ~7% right / ~5% bottom.
- **Size:** signature width ≈ **8% of canvas width** (half the earlier 16% default). Always re-sign from unsigned `*-navy` sources via `sign.py` — never shrink an already-signed image by overlay.
- **Master:** `assets/sig/rk-sig-2-hairline-brass.png` (from Instagram styles kit).
- **Signed assets:** `assets/paint/paint-*-rk.png` (path set: condo/coop/house/1031; section set: before, twelve-steps, closing-costs, carry, stalls, tracks, faq, coming-next). Exchange section reuses `paint-1031-rk`.
- **Style:** gold/brass pencil architectural line sketch on deep navy linen canvas texture. Canvas-* neo-art scrolls and off-style gallery banners are retired for this guide.
- Brand bar keeps `ak-monogram-ivory-web.png`; paintings no longer carry an AK corner mark.
- Helper: `sign.py` (default `WIDTH_FRAC = 0.08`).
