This new puzzle type needs a name {7}

Question

_{This puzzle is part of the Monthly Topic Challenge #5: On-and-onograms - and also extends the 'This new puzzle type needs a name' series...}

I believe I have invented a new type of puzzle...

What is its name?

Begin by solving the 32x36 nonogram puzzle, above. Then apply some grid-deduction-deduction (!) and discover its name!

_{A csv version of the nonogram (for copy-paste purposes) is provided below.}

Thanks @GarethMcCaughan - that all looks correct to me. Knew I'd forgotten something when posting! — Stiv, Nov 08 '22 at 15:14
Are you familiar with the game Squarecells? This appears to be very similar to Squarecells, assuming I'm not misunderstanding something. — Tyler Shellberg, Nov 09 '22 at 20:01

It's a

Nonosweeper

Solution:

First, solve the Nonogram to get this grid:

The nonogram shows numbers from 2 to 6, arranged in a 8x9 pattern. The little nonogram in the corner is an additional clue that these numbers represent the hints on a minesweeper grid. Solved, it looks like this:

If we just look at the positions of the mines, we can interpret them as braille (we need to shift the middle line over one square):

Well done! I got the second stage, and was sure there would be at least one more, but couldn't spot it. – fljx Nov 08 '22 at 16:10
I also got to the second stage. I tried using binary since every row was 8 squares but it didn't work. Then unfortunately I had to leave, so I couldn't try other things – FrodCube Nov 08 '22 at 16:51

A superb first answer - well done, and welcome to Puzzling :) Detailed, all of the steps spelled out, and - above all - correct! Here's your first PSE checkmark - hopefully the first of many! – Stiv Nov 08 '22 at 21:21

PS Love how in your second image you replicated the 'official colours' too! :) – Stiv Nov 08 '22 at 21:22
I don't get the point of the smaller nonogram. (cc @Stiv ) – msh210 Nov 08 '22 at 22:33

I know you have limited resolution to show the numbers, but I'm having trouble recognizing the 3 as 3 :o – justhalf Nov 09 '22 at 02:21
