A review gallery for the whole-India poster challenge — fitting every India people group on one printable sheet. It gathers each design attempt with what was tried and the measured result, and lets a reviewer label it, score it 1-10, and tag it a best practice or one to avoid (saved locally, exportable as JSON). Withheld from every public build: the attempts, their descriptions, and the poster documents load only under the dev server, in a dev-only gallery module that compiles away. A production build shows only the "solution in progress" notice and emits zero whole-country-poster bytes. Element <india-posters>; stage experimental, visibility team.
