Pulled the official Aspire-Spring26-IntroDeck.pptx from https://microsoft.github.io/aspire-brand/, compared content slide-by-slide to this deck, and adopted five upstream messaging beats. Code/structure of existing slides preserved. ## Changes ### Slide 3 — The Polyglot Problem Added the official 'big city without a map' framing as a quote at the top, bridging it to the polyglot angle ('streets are in five different languages'). Keeps existing two-column problem layout intact. ### Slide 4 — Aspire: The Polyglot Answer Added the canonical positioning sentence verbatim from the brand kit: 'Aspire is an agent-ready, code-first tool to compose, debug, and deploy any distributed app.' Rendered in white on the purple gradient for contrast. ### Slide 5 — NEW: The Four Pillars (anchor slide) Inserted a single 2x2 anchor slide that names the four parts of Aspire the way the official deck does: CLI, AppHost, Dashboard, Integrations. Every later slide in the deck maps back to one of these. Quantifies integrations as '100+' (consistent with brand-kit messaging). ### Slide 13 — Resource Lifecycle Management Added one line: 'Backed by 100+ integrations — Postgres, Redis, Kafka, Cosmos, OpenAI, Ollama, and your own containers all participate in the same lifecycle.' This is the only slide that explicitly names the integration count. ### Slide 19 — NEW: Agent-Ready CLI Inserted between 'Getting Started' and the 'Demos' gradient. Covers the 2026 messaging push: MCP server exposing the running AppHost, project context for any coding agent, closed-loop edit/run/observe. Polyglot bonus: same OTEL pipeline means the agent sees Python tracebacks, Go panics, Java stack traces, and Node errors through one mental model. ### Slide 30 — From Dev to Production Replaced the bare command list with the official 'aspire run -> aspire deploy' arc: two terminal mock-ups side by side showing the local healthy stack and a deploy run. Reuses the official deck's slide-7 animation hook in static form. Adds the 'AppHost is the contract' framing. ## Validation - Built via marpteam/marp-cli (latest), template bare. - Audited with Playwright at 1280x720 logical canvas: 0 overflow on any of the 34 slides (was 32 + 2 new). - Vision-reviewed slides 3, 4, 5, 19, 30 for layout/contrast: gradient subtitle readable, four-pillar grid balanced, terminal mock-ups legible. ## What is NOT in this PR - No theme/CSS changes (handled by #37). - No content edits to Demo: <sample> slides. - No new images; only emoji + Markdown. - The 60+ CC0 icons in the official deck slides 25-27 were not pulled in — leave that as a future polish pass.

Pulled the official
Aspire-Spring26-IntroDeck.pptxfrom the brand site, compared it slide-by-slide to this polyglot deck, and adopted five upstream messaging beats. Code and demo-slide structure are preserved — this is purely additive narrative alignment.Stacks on top of (but is independent from) #37 (theme color tokens).
Why
The official L100 deck establishes 2026 framing the polyglot deck wasn't using:
aspire run→aspire deployarc (slide 7 animation)This PR adopts each one without losing the polyglot deck's deep-dive character.
Changes
aspire run→aspire deployarc: two side-by-side terminal mock-ups (local healthy stack + deploy run). Adds 'the AppHost is the contract' framingNet deck length: 32 → 34 slides (+2 new anchor slides).
