    Side-by-side comparison — two stickies (blue + butter) divided by a centered
    ink-filled versus-circle. The versus-circle is the connector marker; its
    cream-on-ink contrast carries through any brand DNA. Use for before/after,
    do/don't, or with/without beats.

    Tilt: -1.5° left, +1.5° right (use --tilt-quiet-l / --tilt-quiet-r).
    Pin colors match the sticky underneath for cohesion.
