+title: Footer, Data tab with wipe, streak-multiplier rewards, About pixel rules
+status: completed
+type: feature

+
+Four changes to bit-by-bit index.html + DESIGN.md:
+1. Add a page footer disclosing it was written with Claude Code (Sonnet 5, Opus 4.8, Fable 5).
+2. Rename the 'Backup' settings tab to 'Data' and add a 'wipe all data' option there.
+3. Streak becomes a reward multiplier: units per day = streak-on-that-day x triangular(checks). Recalibrate pixelsPerCheck and the finish estimate; update DESIGN.md.
+4. About page: describe specifically how earning pixels works (per-check escalation + streak multiplier), encouraging finishing the whole day.
+
+## Summary of Changes
+
+All four changes landed in `index.html` (+ `docs/DESIGN.md`, `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md`, `README.md`):
+
+1. **Footer** — added `<footer class="app-footer">` (plain text, no external link) disclosing 'Written with Claude Code · Sonnet 5, Opus 4.8 & Fable 5'.
+2. **Data tab + wipe** — renamed the 'Backup' settings tab to 'Data' (data-tab/panel id `data`), added a 'Danger zone' with a double-confirm 'Wipe all data' button that clears the localStorage keys, resets to `defaultState()`, and returns to first-run onboarding.
+3. **Streak multiplier** — reveal units per day are now `streakOnDay(d) × triangular(checks)` (new `streakOnDay` helper). Recalibrated `pixelsPerCheckFor` to divide by `triangular(30) × triangular(habitCount)`, and fixed the upload finish-day estimate to solve the triangular streak accumulation.
+4. **About page** — added two paragraphs describing exactly how pixels are earned (per-check escalation + streak multiplier) and encouraging finishing the whole day's list; updated the version line to name all three models.
+
+## Validation
+
+- `grep` for `http://|https://|fetch(` → no external references.
+- Playwright headless run: fresh load shows onboarding + footer; seeded 3-consecutive-day log on a 36px image renders '6 / 36 pixels' (confirms 1+2+3 streak-multiplied units, not the old flat 3); settings tabs are Habits/Artwork/Data/About (no Backup); wipe button clears localStorage and returns to onboarding; **zero console errors, zero non-local network requests**.
+
+## Follow-up: upload during onboarding
+
+The onboarding 'Pick your first picture' step only offered presets — no way to upload an image on first setup (upload previously lived only in Settings → Artwork). Added the upload pipeline to onboarding step 2:
+
+- New file input + grid-size select + name field + live preview/estimate in `#obStep2`, reusing `downsampleImageFile`/`renderThumbnail`.
+- Generalized the onboarding selection from `obSelectedPreset` to `obSelectedDef` (preset or upload) plus `obUploadResult`; preset and upload selections mutually supersede each other; 'Start painting' commits either.
+- Validated via Playwright: uploading a PNG in onboarding shows the preview + '~N days' estimate, enables Start, and starts a 24×24 `source:'upload'` artwork named from the field — zero console errors, zero network requests. Preset/footer/data/wipe/streak regression suite still green. Updated DESIGN.md §2.

 - On image start, generate a random permutation of opaque pixel indices using a
   **seeded PRNG (mulberry32)** with a stored seed. This is the reveal order —
   stable across sessions and re-renders.
+- **Escalating daily reward:** the _Nth_ habit checked on a given day is worth
+  `N` base units (1 + 2 + 3 + … ), so a day of `k` checks earns `triangular(k) =
+  k·(k+1)/2` base units. Doing more in one day is rewarded super-linearly; the
+  toast and pop for a later check reveal noticeably more pixels than an earlier
+  one.
+- **Streak multiplier:** a day's units are multiplied by that day's **streak
+  length** — the number of consecutive days with ≥1 check ending on (and
+  including) that day. On a 3-day streak the 1st check of the day is worth `3`
+  units and the 2nd `6`; on a 5-day streak, `5` and `10`. A day's streak length
+  counts *backwards* from itself, so checking or unchecking a later day never
+  changes an earlier day's multiplier.
 - `pixelsPerCheck` is computed **once, at image start**:
-  `max(1, round(opaqueCount / (habitCount * 30)))` — so a typical image finishes
-  in about a month of consistency. Locked for the life of the image even if
-  habits change (prevents gaming/confusion).
-- `checks` counter on the image: +1 per habit check, −1 on same-day uncheck
-  (clamped ≥ 0 and never below checks from previous days — derive today's floor
-  from the log). Revealed pixel count = `min(opaqueCount, checks * pixelsPerCheck)`.
+  `max(1, round(opaqueCount / (triangular(30) · triangular(habitCount))))` —
+  calibrated so a "perfect month" (all habits every day for 30 days, whose
+  streak-weighted units total `triangular(30) · triangular(habitCount)`) just
+  fills the image. Locked for the life of the image even if habits change
+  (prevents gaming/confusion). Clamped to ≥1 so the very first check always
+  reveals at least one pixel; small images simply fill in sooner than a month.
+- **Revealed pixels are derived from the log, not stored.** Revealed unit total =
+  `Σ streakLen(d) · triangular(len(log[d]))` over days `d ≥ startedAt`; revealed
+  pixel count = `min(opaqueCount, floor(units · pixelsPerCheck))`. Because reveal
+  is a pure function of the log, same-day uncheck only shrinks today's
+  contribution — past days can never be un-revealed, and reloads/undo stay
+  perfectly consistent with no separate counter to keep in sync.
 - Unrevealed cells render as a subtle dim checkerboard ("static"). Revealed
   cells show their color and **pop in with a tiny scale/settle animation** when
   newly revealed (animate only the delta, not on every render).
