The canvas distributes its blocks vertically-centred with an automatic gap. A Top Block hugs the top and is top-left aligned; a Bottom Block hugs the bottom and is bottom-left aligned. Each block stacks its own children with a fixed 60px gap. Header sits in the Top Block, Footer in the Bottom Block. Every layout below also carries measured `geometry`, so you never have to derive a position from this description — use the numbers.

Headers
folio — Two small folio labels — left + right — at the top of the band, with the 2px rule along its bottom edge.
wordmark — The full GALTON lockup at left; an optional event-tag pill at right. No rule.
wordmark-center — The same lockup, centred on the band instead of left-aligned. No rule. Used by the layouts whose whole composition is centred.
partner-logo — A SUPPLIED partner / event logo in the lockup's place, scaled to 70 tall. No rule, and no GALTON lockup: the two never share the band.
none — No header band at all. The top block starts at y 64 with the layout's own first element.
Footers
symbol — The 2px rule along the top edge, then the G symbol at left and the website URL at right.
partner — Same band, but a supplied partner / award logo replaces the G symbol at left. Used when the slide represents GALTON at someone else's event.
none — No footer band, and therefore no rule, no symbol and no URL. This is a DELIBERATE choice on a handful of layouts whose bottom edge carries a centred pill or a closing line instead, and every one of them says so in its `must`. It is never a licence to drop the footer from a layout that has one.
