What changed from v2
- The hook is new: v2 opened on the body donor's own first line with the nouns swapped and a sticker reading “even out your underarms”, which you rejected as a line people have heard a trillion times, so v3 opens on a hook ported from the library (donor MRP9R4XZASHQ9, acne-scar ad, stop-reframe family): “Stop letting your deodorant darken you in 2026. Let me show you how these women went from this to that.” Voiced in the same belt voice, lip-synced on InfiniteTalk, 6.8 s.
- The before/after is in the hook: the brand BEFORE/AFTER static sits under the sticker from 0.3 s through “this to that”. It is the only real pair we hold; a harsher “before” needs a real photo we do not have yet.
- Everything after the hook is v2 shifted by the hook delta: cutout stick on niacinamide and on the reveal, the before/after on the photo line, guarantee and site stickers at the close.
- A gate now refuses any video run whose hook is not recorded from the library, is the body's own opener, is a bare benefit line, or (for a visible-result offer) has no before/after inside the first second.

The cut follows the measured pattern in research/callout-pattern-20261106/PATTERN.md through plan-v3.json, holds the hook picture past the 3 s overlay cap on purpose, and records the hook port in copy-hub/hooks/ports.jsonl.
