# NEXT Athlete OS v96 RC15 – Unframed dashboard background

## Based on
v96 RC14.

## Corrected direction
The earlier RC15 attempt was stopped. This version keeps the background image the user liked and only changes the dashboard framing.

## Changed
- Kept the preferred dashboard image:
  - `assets/img/v93/hero/hero-dashboard.webp`
- Removed the outer shared card around the left and right dashboard columns.
- Locked the background image behind the whole dashboard from the top of the start screen.
- Kept the two-column layout.
- Left hero copy sits directly over the shared background.
- Right cards remain, but the wrapper panel around the right column is no longer visually boxed.
- RC11 pass-control fixes are retained through the RC14 base.

## QA
- JS syntax: OK
- shell.js syntax: OK
- PHP proxy lint: OK
- Runtime image refs missing: 0
- Static visual render QA:

## Render note
The screenshots are static fallback renders used to validate layout direction when Chromium runtime rendering is unreliable in this environment. They are not a full Safari runtime guarantee.
