The project index was the last hand-maintained duplicate of CV data, and it
had already drifted: a superseded Weenix line count and an end date the CV
disagreed with. It now renders from yaml-source/data/projects.yml, which
grows from three entries to nine and gains `group` (drives the index's
sections, first-appearance order, like now.yaml) and `links`.
Pmacs, Levshell, and Epiphany join under "Personal" — self-directed tools
rather than coursework or employment — written from the repos rather than
from memory. They are web-only: personal infrastructure is not academic
output, and the résumé is a full page. LeVCS keeps its essay; project
writeups stay essays, since a writeup is an informal presentation of a
project and not a record of it.
web_visible is a third visibility axis alongside cv_visible and
resume_visible, defaulting to cv_visible so nothing changes until it is
set. The file already knew how to let the CV and résumé disagree about an
entry; generating a third surface from the same data would otherwise have
collapsed that, and a document handed to a chosen reader is not a page that
gets crawled. This is what makes web-only projects expressible — and what
would let the xAI entry sit quietly on the CV while staying off the site,
if that is wanted later. It stays off both for now.
Two LaTeX conversions added while moving the markdown prose into the YAML:
$\rightarrow$ and $\sim$. The latter fixes a bug I introduced doing it —
"~10 crates" meant "about ten", but bare ~ is LaTeX's non-breaking space,
so it rendered "( 10 crates" and dropped the approximation.
Weenix's description now carries the site's fuller tail (the CS 169 origin
and the later pipes/preemption work) rather than the CV's terser "Brown CS
169." Single-sourcing means picking one, and this is the better one; the CV
grows by a clause and the résumé still fits on one page.

The vita page carried a hand-typed duplicate of education, publications,
presentations, and experience, and had drifted from the PDFs in about
fifteen places — Shu Lab still one entry titled "Undergraduate
Researcher" three months after the degree, Weenix at ~7,000 lines, CHASE
still "accepted" after being presented, a preprint missing entirely, and
two different code URLs for the same paper.
build/Vita.hs reads yaml-source/data/*.yml — the same files the PDF
pipeline builds from — and renders education, experience (keeping the
CV's research/industry split), publications, presentations, and contact.
Drift is now structurally impossible rather than merely discouraged.
Notes on the implementation:
- The YAML is LaTeX-flavoured because xelatex is its first consumer, so
values pass through a small closed converter (\textbf, \textit,
\texttt, \href, $\times$, $\delta$, \#, {,}, ~, --, ---). Escaping
happens before conversion; unhandled commands pass through visibly
rather than silently dropping their argument.
- Scalars are parsed loosely: the same logical field is sometimes a YAML
number and sometimes a string (`year: 2026` vs `year: "2026--2027"`),
and the PDF pipeline does not care, so this does not force it to.
- personal.yml's phone number is deliberately not read. It is printed on
the CV, which is handed to a chosen reader; this page is crawled.
- Contact chips carry labels (ORCID, Forgejo, GitHub) rather than the
CV's full display values, which exist because paper cannot be clicked.
The page keeps only what nothing else on the site owns: the pointers and
the four research threads. In-progress work belongs to /current, the
engineering index to /cv/projects/, and the narrative to /me/ — whose
abstract already described this page as the formal record.
vita.css composes on item-card.css and mirrors now.css's headings and
chip geometry, so /about and /current read as one system. Link chips get
the only interaction polish on the page, being the one affordance a
printed CV cannot offer.

- import-photo.sh deletes the copied JPEG when EXIF stripping fails, so
the auto-commit can never publish GPS/serial metadata (AUDIT §4.11)
- pre-commit-marks hook: tab-aware path parsing, probes the staged blob
rather than the working tree (§4.11)
- preset-signing-passphrase uses printf; stamp-build-time writes via
temp + os.replace; archive.py passes -- to pdftotext and verifies the
vendored monolith binary against its recorded sha256 (mismatch is
fatal, consistent with the tool's integrity contract); extract-exif
./-prefixes relative paths (§4.11)
- blog-post.html: id="similar-links"/"backlinks" each appear once;
rendered output unchanged (§6.4)
- site.webmanifest: start_url/scope/description added, maskable icon
purpose restored alongside any (§9.3)
- Frontmatter cleanup: scaffold comments out of scaling_outage,
dangling null confidence-history keys removed (populated ones kept),
dead modified: key dropped from colophon (§6.4)
- canto31.jpg: 4.0 MB -> 1.9 MB (2400px, q80, grayscale — the source
is a monochrome Doré engraving, so single-channel is colorimetrically
lossless); webp sidecar regenerated (§6.4, prior-audit §6.1)

- The ~33 KB traced logo moves from an inlined-per-page partial to
/logo-sprite.svg referenced with <use> — cached once instead of
shipped on every page (homepage HTML: 46 KB -> 13 KB). CSS custom
properties cascade into the use shadow tree, so the two-tone cutout
is unchanged (AUDIT §9.1)
- favicon.ico regenerated at 16/32/48 from the 512px master: 71 KB ->
15 KB; modern browsers take the SVG anyway, the .ico is the legacy
fallback (§9.2)
- link-icons/internal.svg restored to the simple 4 KB path: it renders
at 0.7-1.6 rem through a CSS mask, where the 33 KB traced detail
cannot resolve (§9.2)

- score-reader template: load utils.js before theme.js — without
lnUtils.safeStorage the saved theme/text-size never restored on
score pages (AUDIT §5.1)
- search-filters: expand trailing-slash pathnames to .../index.html
before the epistemicMeta lookup; clean-URL pages were silently
bypassing every active filter (AUDIT §5.2)
- viz: treat cappuccino as a dark theme so charts stop rendering
near-black marks on a dark brown background (AUDIT §5.3)
- collapse: namespace section-collapsed keys by pathname (Pandoc
auto-slugs recur across essays) and go through safeStorage like the
rest of the site (AUDIT §5.4)

New inline logo-mark.svg partial in the nav (two-tone cutout via
--logo-ink/--logo-bg), regenerated favicon set + web-app manifest icons
from the new mark, 1200x630 og-image wired into head.html.
Known follow-ups (AUDIT-2026-06-09.md §9): the traced SVG is ~33 KB
inlined per page, favicon.ico carries 128/256px entries, and the
webmanifest dropped its maskable purpose.

build/Now.hs renders the .now-stamp-relative phrase ("3 days ago") at
build time against the build machine's clock; a page served days later
from cache or a CDN would then read stale. now.js recomputes the
phrase in the browser from the <time datetime> attribute (an
unambiguous YYYY-MM-DD) against the visitor's clock, with bucket
thresholds that mirror Now.hs:relativeTime exactly so the no-JS
fallback and the recomputed value agree.
* static/js/now.js — the recomputation script.
* templates/default.html includes it via $if(now)$ so it only loads
on the Current page.

iOS WebKit silently degrades position: sticky to static on direct
flex/grid children of <body>, so the sticky nav was breaking on
mobile. Wrapping everything below the nav in a .page-shell flex
column keeps the sticky-footer math out of body { } and restores
sticky behaviour across browsers. The essay-frontmatter hoisted in
the Marks II commit becomes a body-level sibling of .page-shell so
its monogram and epistemic-figure columns can span viewport width.
* templates/default.html wraps $body$ + footer in .page-shell.
* static/css/layout.css moves the flex-column + min-height math from
body to .page-shell; the body > header rule now excludes
.essay-frontmatter so the essay header does not inherit nav chrome
(sticky, nav-bg, border-bottom).
* static/css/base.css drops the html/body overflow-x: clip — the
page-shell wrapper handles horizontal containment and clipping at
the viewport level was interfering with position: sticky.
* static/css/reading.css updates its #markdownBody centering selector
to match .page-shell > #markdownBody.
* static/css/components.css makes the TOC outline scrollable when
it overflows: bounded max-height tied to the sticky budget plus a
thin themed scrollbar, with overflow: hidden preserved for the
collapse transition.

Hakyll caches per-page outputs, so pages whose dependencies have not
changed are not recompiled and the rendered $build-time$ in their
footer goes stale relative to a fresh build. The right granularity for
"last built at" is site-wide rather than per-page; wrapping the footer
timestamp in <span data-build-time> and rewriting it after Hakyll lets
every page reflect the current build without paying recompilation cost.
* tools/stamp-build-time.py walks _site/**/*.html after Hakyll runs and
rewrites each element wrapped in [data-build-time] to the same format
Contexts.hs:buildTimeField emits, so a fresh render and the post-pass
agree.
* templates/partials/footer.html wraps $build-time$ in
<span class="footer-build-time" data-build-time>...</span> so the
sweep has a stable selector.
* Makefile invokes the sweep between embed.py and compress-assets so
the .gz/.br sidecars include the fresh stamp.

Extends the Phase-1 monogram mark system to every long-form content
type (essays, blog posts, poems, fiction, music) and introduces a
coverage audit so gaps are visible.
* build/Marks.hs gains hasMonogram (predicate), monogramSvgFieldFor +
hasMonogramFieldFor (for explicit-path callers like the /build/ and
/stats/ pages). Contexts.hs exports hasMonogramField as a siteCtx
boolean so templates can conditionally render the slot without
emitting an empty <div>.
* essay.html, blog-post.html, reading.html: hoist the frontmatter
block out of <main id="markdownBody"> so the monogram + epistemic
marks render as wrapper chrome rather than indexable prose; left
+ right mark slots are now unconditional (CSS handles the empty
state) so the layout is grid-stable across pieces.
* templates/partials/item-card.html: optional monogram chip on cards
(item-card--has-monogram modifier), gated on $has-monogram$ so
monogram-less pieces stay flush.
* build/Stats.hs grows a "Marks coverage" telemetry section: per-type
pieces / monogram / epistemic-figure counts + a coverage rollup,
rendered between epistemic and output on /build/.
* tools/audit-marks.py: coverage report (ASCII table) walking
content/**/*.md, plus a pre-commit hook at
tools/hooks/pre-commit-marks.sh that runs the same scan against
newly-staged .md files. New `make audit-marks` runs the report
manually; the hook gates commits.
* static/css/marks.css: layout for the new frontmatter slots and the
item-card monogram chip.

Preserve external works the site cites against link rot, host them at
permanent /archive/<slug>/ URLs in site chrome, and treat them as
first-class citizens of the backlinks and similar-pages indexes.
Curated, not crawled: the author adds one line to archive/manifest.yaml
and the build fetches, hashes, snapshots, and indexes the work.
* archive/manifest.yaml + tools/archive.py (fetch / refresh / wayback /
check / gc) — PDFs downloaded directly, HTML pages snapshotted with a
vendored monolith (tools/bin/monolith @ 2.10.1) into a single
self-contained file with the archive CSP and a noarchive robots meta
injected. Per-entry PROVENANCE.json committed; gitignored .txt
sidecars regenerated from the artifact's SHA-256.
* build/Archive.hs + build/ArchiveIndex.hs + build/Filters/Archive.hs
— Hakyll rules for /archive/ and /archive/<slug>/, a body Pandoc
filter that appends an archive affordance to live citations and
flips dead ones to the local copy on archive.py check's asymmetric
hysteresis (rotted needs 3 fails over >= 14 days; one ok recovers).
* build/Backlinks.hs — keeps archived external URLs through pass 1 and
canonicalises them to /archive/<slug>/ in pass 2, producing a
"Referenced by" section grouped by the fragment each citation
targets. build/Stats.hs gains a "Link archive" telemetry block on
/build/ (count, total size, median age, by-status / by-quality /
by-visibility, orphans).
* Integrity: archive.py fetch and build/Archive.hs (via sha256sum)
both re-hash every committed artifact, so a tampered file halts the
build even with cabal invoked directly or no .venv present. refresh
refuses to replace an uncommitted prior snapshot and rolls back
atomically on any exit path. removed.yaml is honoured by fetch,
wayback, and check using canonical-form (tracking-stripped,
arXiv-canonicalised) comparison.
* visibility: private keeps an entry in-repo but undeployed.
nginx/archive.conf emits X-Robots-Tag: noindex, noarchive for raw
artifacts that cannot carry meta directives.
The full design, phase plan (1-5), and three refinement passes live
in ARCHIVE.md.

- Emit a minimal robots.txt that points at the sitemap.
- Emit sitemap.xml covering every dated content page (essays, blog,
fiction, poetry, music) with absolute <loc> and frontmatter-derived
<lastmod>. Standalone pages (about, colophon, etc.) are
intentionally omitted: they're reachable via the main nav, lack
date: frontmatter, and would force a fallback lastmod that
misrepresents staleness.
- Replace the magic 'drop 8' offset in essay routing with
stripPrefix "content/". Same behavior, but reads structurally and
fails closed if the prefix ever changes.

Each shelf gets a dingbat keyed by portal slug: laurel (research),
quill (nonfiction), open book (fiction), lyre (poetry), plus the
existing clef / ai / tech / trefoil glyphs for the remaining four.
Rendered via mask-image with currentColor so a single SVG per
portal inherits whatever color its heading carries. Between rendered
shelves, a centered fleuron flanked by thin rules (library-divider.svg)
sits via CSS adjacent-sibling so hidden sections leave no orphan
dividers. The template swaps its Unicode placeholder for a
data-ornament span, wires a '\$library-intro\$' slot above the shelves,
and renders a "More on this shelf →" link when has-more gates fire.
