Every note that has been on the board, newest first. Each one carries one number, and links its write-up when there is one.
- The home page can load 66.7 KB of gzipped JavaScript on the production build, GSAP and its lazy chunks included, against a budget of 90 KB, and the budgets gate fails any page that goes over.
- Archived the foundation's rulings and ledger at 165 commits, and 93 of them are fixes.
- The foundation's last fix left 2,053 unit tests passing, counted by vitest on a clean checkout of that commit, and not one real page existed yet.
- The disclosure scan's last fix folds Armenian and Cherokee look-alike letters before matching, so each of its 25 terms still hits when someone spells it with the wrong alphabet.
- The last of the 63 foundation tasks closed, the one that renders diagrams to PNG for the feed and the markdown twins, and a final review of the whole run came next.
- 27 September closed on 95 commits across a 23.8 hour span, the busiest day of the build so far, and that span is commit times, not hours at a desk.

15:31TOPICS SET The search section of the spec set a closed list of 7 topics, and adding one takes a version bump and my sign-off, so there are no free-form tags.7Research
15:13TEMPLATES FIXED The spec fixed the write-ups at four templates, teardown, build log, case and field note, before a line of code existed.4Build
15:03DRAFTS IN Three design drafts went into the first commit with the research and the spec, and draft C, the floor, is the one this site is built from.3Research
14:31DRAFT SHOTS A little script shot every draft the same way at phone and desktop width in both modes, and with the floor's second pass that came to 207 PNGs, which is a lot of pictures of three web pages.207Research
