Build log

Selected public changes from the repository notes, newest first.

1. 2026-09-23

   Replaced the Work practice panel photos with three blue line-art blueprint drawings: a route to a target, an exploded device, and a connected system of modules. They were generated with OpenAI gpt-image-2 and encoded as responsive WebP.

2. 2026-09-23

   Added a motion pass across the site: idle letter swaps and a rolling contact button, counting Practice numbers with fly-in headlines, a guided tour through the fleet section, and a smoke trail behind the headline letters. The site's AI agent moved to GPT-6 Luna with a cap on answer length.

3. 2026-09-23

   htmlToText() in now drops aria-hidden="true" elements with their subtrees (depth-matched close tag, so nested markup like the practice odometer goes whole; void/self-closing lose only the tag; an unclosed hidden element never swallows the rest of the page). Regenerated api/knowledge.js (28.6 → 27.9 KB): the…

4. 2026-09-23

   Conflicts in components.mjs, pages.mjs and v2/index.html were resolved by taking the reel markup and removing the eyebrows it added (worlds heading, LIVE WORK & WORLDS, MORE LIVE SITES, concept card labels)..live-design keeps "More live sites" as its aria-label.

5. 2026-09-23

   Built on branch feat/reels-and-intro (worktree.worktrees/reels-intro), not merged: (1) Paul's site footage as lazy reels, AV1 + HEVC at 1600 px (dense Small Hours / Second Brain at 1280 px 24 fps), 17 MB total committed, zero video bytes on first load, one clip at a time, posters only in Still/reduced motion/data…

6. 2026-09-23

   Removed every small uppercase section eyebrow site-wide ("02 / CONNECT THE INTELLIGENCE", "01 / SELECTED WORK", timeline and 404 labels, card and concept labels). hero(), bodyCopy() and imageCard() no longer take a label.

7. 2026-09-23

   Fixed the water-interlude arrival hold never engaging on Mac touchpads (). Root cause: Chrome wheel scroll latching makes only the first wheel of a touchpad gesture cancelable and scrolls the rest on the compositor; the old code caught only cancelable events, and the next wheel (dispatched before the frame's scroll…

8. 2026-09-23

   Shipped the overnight build to production: proof line + CSO tab, live hero agent on OpenAI, next-token headline, attention lines, hold-to-regenerate, boot loader, capability marquee, scroll-lit manifesto, opt-in Web Audio, "Inside my fleet" three.js section with live hub pulses, ⌘K Ask palette, contact smart…

9. 2026-09-22

   Generated three coordinated portrait images in Higgsfield for the final Work practice panel: planning a blue route, assembling a prototype, and collaborating on a modular system. Replaced the blurry sculpture crops, removed grayscale filtering and added responsive WebP sources.

10. 2026-09-22

    Changed Work's scroll line to one solid blue stroke with a rounded leading cap, wider smooth shoulders and tangent-continuous joins. Removed the highlight, faint track and smoke renderer from the live entry.

11. 2026-09-21

    Made the Work scroll line, highlight and faint track 2.5 times thicker. Main stroke is now 10px desktop and 7.5px compact.

12. 2026-09-21

    Filled the Work page's final practice panel with three large monochrome artwork columns: Set direction, Make it real, Stay involved. Reused existing images, replaced the undersized orbit on this panel and placed the continuation controls below the artwork.

13. 2026-09-21

    Enlarged Work pool symbols 20%, replaced checks with triangles, added roughly four rows, shortened the section and added a once-per-document arrival scroll catch.

14. 2026-09-21

    Replaced the primary site's earth tones with graphite, white and electric blue; updated decorative lighting, network, work thread, water, favicon and four native scene stills; made invitation text continuous and seam-free with a smaller, flatter, shorter blue cursor trail.
