A deck is a JSON file of slides. The CLI turns it into one HTML file that works offline in a client's office, with keyboard controls and the fonts and art inside, and into a PDF to send. The slides reuse the kit, so the type, the inks and the art print exactly as they do on the site. There is no PowerPoint template in 1.0; an editable export waits for the first client who asks (DF-65).

| BB-SLIDES-02Must | Print price and timeline slides at Quiet with no SFX.Applies to: Slides | The price slide is where the client decides. Nothing on it should look like a joke. | Testthe deck's DOM check |
| BB-SLIDES-03Must | Send decks as a PDF, and present from the HTML file or the PDF.Applies to: Slides | Both carry the fonts and the art. An editable copy would need the fonts on every machine. | Manual review |

Open the HTML file in a browser: the arrow keys, the space bar, Page Up and Page Down move through the slides, Home and End jump to the ends, F goes full screen, and the slide number stays in the address so a reload keeps your place. Slides arrive like panels at Studio and not at all at Quiet or under reduced motion (BB-MOTION-05).
