Legal note: practical product/IP risk review, not formal legal advice.

## Decision

Use game-related media as source-attributed support content, not as core map data or visual identity.

P0 safe path:
- self-made SVG/Canvas ocean-grid map base and marker icons;
- generated neutral local SVG placeholders for every source card;
- YouTube guide embeds only via `youtube-nocookie.com`, lazy/click-to-load, on resource/location/guide pages after primary marker data;
- article/community/official sources as outbound text citations only;
- no official key art/logo/screenshot/OG/favicons, no copied competitor map/data/text.

## Source policy matrix

| Source type | Use | Store/hotlink? | Risk | Decision |
|---|---|---:|---|---|
| YouTube gameplay/guide videos | Lazy embeds + outbound links | No download/rehost/thumbnail hotlink | medium-low | embed_lazy_only |
| IGN/KeenGamer articles | Citation + original summary | No thumbnails/screenshots | medium | outbound_text_citation_only |
| KRAFTON press / Steam | Official facts/EA disclaimer | No visual reuse | high for media | cite_only_no_media_reuse |
| Fandom/MapGenie/Game8/GamesDB | Competitive/source awareness | No copied tiles/coords/icons/text | high | internal reference only |
| Reddit/community | Discovery/corroboration | No images/comment reuse | high | internal or noindex text link only |
| Self-made SVG/Canvas | Primary visuals | Yes | low | preferred |

## Frontend contract

Machine-readable file: `/root/.hermes/kanban/boards/site-factory/workspaces/t_bc0c998c/reports/site-pipeline/site-rerun-subnautica2maps-20260520-clean/subnautica2maps/media/media-assets.json`

Rules:
1. `/map` first viewport must not contain video iframes. Keep map/search/filter primary.
2. Resource/location/blackbox pages may render 1-3 related media cards after source/confidence data.
3. Card thumbnail uses `thumbnail_policy.path`; never third-party image URLs.
4. iframe uses `https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/{video_id}`, `loading=lazy`, `title`, strict referrer policy, click-to-load.
5. CSS must prevent QA regression: `max-width:100%; min-width:0; overflow-wrap:anywhere; iframe/img/button width:100%`; verify 320/360/390 px.
6. Track `media_card_click`, `youtube_embed_activate`, `outbound_source_click`; do not send raw coordinates.
7. If YouTube embeds ship, update Privacy/Cookie pages for embedded third-party content.

## Acceptance checklist

- [ ] JSON consumed by frontend from static path.
- [ ] No card uses third-party image URLs outside user-activated YouTube iframe.
- [ ] `/map` mobile 320/360/390 has no horizontal overflow.
- [ ] Privacy/Cookie pages mention YouTube if embeds are shipped.
- [ ] All cards show source_name/source_url.
- [ ] Official/KRAFTON/Steam assets are not used as branding, hero, favicon, OG, or decorative background.
- [ ] No official-looking wording or trademark confusion.
- [ ] Article/community sources are not copied as marker data.

## Recommended first frontend placements

1. `/resources/silver`: ChemicalApes silver video + IGN silver article.
2. `/black-boxes`: all black boxes video.
3. Old Habitat detail/guide: Old Habitat entry + Blackbox Quaker card.
4. `/resources/lithium`: P1/noindex until marker data is indexable.
