First edition

The site goes up: eight chapters, two dated snapshots, two case studies and the apparatus — register, glossary, this log.

Where the material comes from. Two research documents assembled in July 2026: a survey of the field as of mid-2026, and a conceptual frame after Osmani and Horthy with an original darkening analysis attached. Both are in specs/ in the repository. The case studies draw on five pipeline repositories on the author’s machine and their retro reports, cited as workspace sources.

What is deliberately absent. No generated artwork — the figures are inline SVG keyed to the palette. A generator that invents text on drawn signage is a fabrication surface, and a site arguing for verifiable claims should not carry one.

What will date fastest, in order: the toolbox, then the field report, then chapter 6’s benchmark section. The concept chapters should survive; if they do not, that is the interesting failure and it belongs in this log.
