From 2e3bcf77af65fd97776f277d9c3debcfb139a0fa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rae Lovejoy Date: Sun, 18 Oct 2026 23:38:09 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Publish Rae-approved Root Sequence website refresh --- site/COPY-REVIEW.md | 468 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- site/PLACEMENT.md | 21 +- site/README.md | 24 +- site/VALIDATION.md | 385 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ site/approval.json | 8 +- site/build.py | 21 +- site/index.html | 524 +++++++++++++++++++++++--------------------- site/test_site.py | 42 +++- 8 files changed, 1190 insertions(+), 303 deletions(-) diff --git a/site/COPY-REVIEW.md b/site/COPY-REVIEW.md index 8a19b718..e3d7e1e5 100644 --- a/site/COPY-REVIEW.md +++ b/site/COPY-REVIEW.md @@ -1,4 +1,470 @@ -# Website copy review: September 16, 2026 +# Website copy review + +**Current status: Rae approved the reviewed website for publication on 2026-10-19 (UTC), explicitly requesting “Website changes approved. Publish and continue with org readme consistency etc.” This approval covers the exact page/publisher digest below and its declared publication-state substitutions. Research endorsement, portfolio samples, and the organization-profile draft retain their separate review states.** + +This candidate extends the existing `site/index.html` rather than introducing a new site framework. The mission describes an independent interdisciplinary research initiative. Selected research retains its six existing routes and adds visible evidence/review limits. A native disclosure panel explains methods, substantive AI assistance, and unfinished human review. The existing headline, section order, green visual identity, wordmark, overlays, and URLs remain. The current refinement uses the dark palette alone; other reading controls are retained. + +The [canonical checklist](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/root-sequence/blob/docs/professional-refresh-phase-1-2026-10-17/ROADMAP.md) tracks source preparation, review, and the secondary work-samples track. The [dated audit](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/root-sequence/blob/docs/professional-refresh-phase-1-2026-10-17/AUDIT.md#professional-refresh-audit-2026-10-17) records existing PR overlap and source authority. This edition does not present Root Sequence as affiliated with AIAF or as an established research institution. + +Candidate source digest: `8dcd150886446fe180c985b87cc8f913b5d920ad81d8d422de208e46d634847e`. +Candidate preview HTML SHA-256: `b532f50c0b875f762d695a6d872553983d733d6209e360383ab64776be08eb36`. + +`approval.json` now records Rae’s approval of this exact source. The release builder accepts this digest and still rejects missing, historical, or changed-source approval. Preview output remains byte-identical to source and `noindex`; release output changes only the declared publication-state markers. Earlier dated entries below retain the approval boundary that applied at the time. + +Changes were checked against the repository's writing guidance, including the retrieved Rossmann editing reference. Research source records and paper-level AI disclosures are linked, not rewritten or silently upgraded. See [validation](VALIDATION.md) for checks and limits. + +## Wiki panel and full-page review: October 18, 2026 (Pacific) + +Rae accepted the proposed removal of the Wiki panel’s repeated extra paragraph by replying “Ok, continue.” Removed that paragraph and its optional configuration field; the approved description, type, and original website action remain. All seven panel refinements are now applied. Only the Wiki field removal changes executable code; its CSP hash is refreshed. No new wording, Wiki entry, private source, builder, test, or historical approval change is included. + +The completed supported page pass read the seven-section flow and retained source/evidence qualifications. Desktop and phone checks covered navigation, native disclosures, reading choices, and the seven project panels. The page remains an unpublished review candidate. These checks complete P1-08’s supported review, not Rae’s exact-source acceptance, research validation, or full accessibility review. + +One consistency follow-up remains: the companion organization-profile draft still introduces Coherent Computing as operating-system research alone. Its short project summaries and collaboration explanation should be compared with the now-approved website wording before final source acceptance. P1-10 tracks this draft-only follow-up; the profile is unchanged in this pass. Later Wiki freshness reconciliation remains queued separately. + +Previous candidate: source `a5d02bc304092cdf9ccdbcda161cf6de1d99e425225418d250fb31f98b7170b8`; HTML `1028fcb522597402c4a23d39ad9e15b7e8a1a35843cb5b06e1b52155eb0e98ca`. + +## Accepted Museum of Ordinary Life panel: October 18, 2026 (Pacific) + +Rae accepted writing block `62749` by responding “ok nice.” Continuing the established review sequence, the exact note is applied: + +> A fictional version of the Museum appears in the novel No One Noticed. Sharing material with the real archive doesn’t automatically give permission to use it in the novel. + +The approved description and “Independent archive · Public website” type remain. The original public website action is unchanged. The note names the novel explicitly and keeps the existing real/fiction consent distinction; it changes no contributor permission, license, Museum source, or fictional canon. + +The project’s extra field becomes a permission-note field and its English entry is replaced. The shared qualifier styling makes its role clear after the description. This configuration change is the only executable change, with CSP refreshed. Builder, tests, and historical exact-source approval remain unchanged. + +The Wiki’s extra paragraph repeats its already approved description. Removing it while retaining the description and website link is proposed next; Wiki source remains unchanged. This does not audit Wiki freshness or authorize any private/public content transfer. Six of seven panel refinements are applied, footer wording remains 4/4 complete, and P1-08 continues to full-page review after the Wiki decision. + +Previous candidate: source `cd7e1a6612ca8d83ed9c29a02172dea10dd2a74018ce8595278847ee1b9aecb8`; HTML `a1a0e27d0972627f530b0a05dc6530f045f8f7806be46c86c7c7d256889f0e31`. + +## Accepted Being Human(e) panel: October 18, 2026 (Pacific) + +Rae approved writing block `73608` and explicitly requested its application before Museum of Ordinary Life review: + +> The work is in development. Its observations are provisional and open to disagreement and revision. + +> [Explore the guide on GitHub](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/beinghumane-guide) + +The approved description and in-development type remain. The provisional note was already approved and remains verbatim; the long extra paragraph is removed. The new action links to the verified public, unarchived repository rather than making an unverified hosted-site claim. No guide content, private Atlas material, or contributed-source permissions change. + +Removed the extra field/translation and added the guide action plus its label. The shared action renderer supports an optional project label, preserving the default “Open the project website” label for other projects. These are the only executable changes; CSP is refreshed. Builder, tests, and historical approval remain unchanged. + +The Museum panel’s description and website action remain. Its real/fictional reuse distinction is next for clearer wording, grounded in the existing ECOSYSTEM entry; no Museum change is applied. P1-08 stays in progress, with footer wording still 4/4 complete. + +Previous candidate: source `1db06ce623f315e35f3005d6c3792e85ea94a1d46bddf16357fc31a91f72b4da`; HTML `6b10c62130d29d27a5f0277ac67f3f3f633d83a6b3da9bed35c8262344470cba`. + +## Accepted Community Infrastructure panel: October 18, 2026 (Pacific) + +Rae approved writing block `42851` and explicitly requested its application before Being Human(e) review: + +> These are design proposals in private development. There’s no public service linked here. + +The approved description and “Practical design · Private development” type remain. The note replaces the extra paragraph’s repeated description and lengthy availability qualification. It uses the shared development-note styling after the summary. The access statement is bounded to this page; it does not claim a global audit of available services. + +Only Community’s extra field changes to a note field in the executable project configuration. Its obsolete extra translation is replaced with the approved note; the CSP hash is refreshed. The builder, tests, and historical exact-source approval are unchanged. No project implementation or private source changes. + +Being Human(e) is next. Its already approved description and provisional-status note remain unchanged. The public `Root-Sequence/beinghumane-guide` repository, README, and START-HERE were verified; a public GitHub reading link and removal of the long extra paragraph are proposed for review, not applied. This does not verify the separately listed live website, complete the guide, or transfer private Atlas material. P1-08 remains in progress; footer wording stays 4/4 complete. + +Previous candidate: source `db8c1eab425a31497d815897360b4c71cc5f1c4049c83e01c1cca510190c6b39`; HTML `49dcd47ae54cf7c1050a66a5020b6b3e249df238dfe2787347da18495a698600`. + +## Accepted Coherent Computing panel: October 18, 2026 (Pacific) + +Rae approved writing block `85306` and explicitly requested its application before reviewing Community Infrastructure: + +> This is research and design work. There’s no public release to try yet. + +The approved summary retains the wider computing-system and lifecycle scope; the existing “Computing research · No public release” type remains. The new note replaces the extra paragraph, including its OS-specific contrast and repeated connection to Root Sequence. It uses the shared development-note style after the summary. + +Only Computing’s extra field changes to a note field in the executable project configuration. The corresponding obsolete extra translation is replaced by the approved note, and the CSP hash is refreshed. The builder, tests, and historical exact-source approval are unchanged. No project implementation, private source, or research status changes. + +Community Infrastructure’s extra/development wording is next and remains unchanged. Footer wording stays 4/4 complete; P1-08 remains in progress for remaining panels and full-page review. + +Previous candidate: source `44135e3ec8c79d901ce805db580eb5a15f4cbc16e28dce0352dab4be237d6ef9`; HTML `15d3d2c5c4ddf78936350bbbf1647a5fc75ebc471718077da2dc79df2e60777c`. + +## Accepted No One Noticed panel: October 18, 2026 (Pacific) + +Rae accepted writing block `97625` by responding “ok.” Continuing the established review sequence, the exact note is applied: + +> The manuscript is still in development. There’s no public website linked here. + +The approved science-fiction description and type remain. Removed the extra paragraph that repeated its imagined-future framing. The retained description still explicitly identifies the work as a science-fiction novel. No manuscript text, story canon, or private project material changes. + +Removed the novel extra field and obsolete translation; the existing optional-extra renderer leaves no empty paragraph. The only executable-script change is that configuration removal, with its CSP hash refreshed. Removed the now-obsolete novel preview/publication substitution from the builder. The new status note applies to either edition. Historical exact-source approval is unchanged and continues to reject this candidate. + +Coherent Computing’s extra/development wording is next and remains unchanged in source. Its already approved description retains the broader computing-system and lifecycle scope, beyond an OS-only introduction. P1-08 remains in progress; footer wording stays 4/4 complete. + +Previous candidate: source `7c80ad37d0122cae3908683d890240dd8978c47bbc9d90bf2933d5f332ec6a3c`; HTML `67feb900db54cb5f81a9bcc5f461a8353865f174c5ef793d11554369ec8d770b`. + +## Accepted Coherent World panel: October 18, 2026 (Pacific) + +Rae approved writing block `64930` and explicitly requested its application before No One Noticed panel review: + +> The project is being developed privately. There’s no separate public website linked here. + +The approved project description and private-development label remain unchanged. Removed the extra paragraph that repeated the project’s breadth beyond the novel; replaced its old preview-specific availability paragraph with the approved bounded note. The summary’s No One Noticed link remains. No project-source or private working material is added. + +The shared renderer now omits an extra paragraph when the project has none; World’s extra field and obsolete translation are removed. Other projects retain their existing extra text. The executable script’s CSP hash is refreshed, and the old World-specific preview/publication substitution is removed from the builder. The new note is truthful in either edition. Historical exact-source approval remains unchanged and does not approve this candidate. + +The next proposal is the No One Noticed panel’s extra and availability wording. Its approved science-fiction description and current source text remain unchanged in this pass. Footer wording remains 4/4 complete; P1-08 stays in progress for panels and full-page review. + +Previous candidate: source `c81f4c16c583b53c096e1008ff5f61c0e39991f62caa903090dd03725766c1c0`; HTML `9be169975b902968ffa87930659866a7a79c6bcc192bd3eba341dbbd94a74ca9`. + +## Accepted Credits and reuse: October 18, 2026 (Pacific) + +Rae accepted writing block `58216` by responding “Nice, next.” Continuing the established passage-review sequence, the exact three paragraphs are applied to visible HTML and English translation data: + +> Root Sequence was started by [Rae Lovejoy](https://github.com/raelovejoy). + +> The [Root Sequence research repository](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/root-sequence) uses [CC0](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/root-sequence/blob/main/license) for its own material. Related projects may use different terms. Check the original source for permissions before reusing unpublished writing or contributed archive material. + +> The wordmark uses Microsoft’s Cascadia Mono font, included under the [SIL Open Font License 1.1](https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code/blob/main/LICENSE). + +The founder credit and all four existing destinations remain. Source/license links are placed within the prose as drafted; the native disclosure and source-link panels remain. This describes the existing licenses and permissions boundary; no license or contributed-material permission changes. + +All four footer passages have completed wording review under P1-08. The next pass concerns remaining project-panel context and access notes, starting with Coherent World. Approved project summaries and useful status/reuse qualifications remain. A shorter World access note and removal of its repetitive extra paragraph are proposed in chat, not applied. Full-page and exact-source publication review remain separate. The executable script, builder, and historical approval are unchanged. + +Previous candidate: source `1212848460f42f7e241f3c639a1e94e9cbd882f4b4f5ed6d783abb0d34261c8f`; HTML `81dac7ee1250c776a4aeb80dd455f37ae7f2e13e0db0f59a16c880e9dc14dded`. + +## Accepted Privacy and this preview: October 18, 2026 (Pacific) + +Rae accepted writing block `70629` by responding “good, next.” Continuing the established passage-review sequence, the exact four paragraphs are applied to visible HTML and English translation data: + +> The page doesn’t use analytics or send its text to a translation service. Everything needed to display it is included in the file. You choose when to open an external website by following a link. + +> The page saves your reading choices in this browser when storage is available. You can reset them from **Reading**; no account is needed. + +> This is a local preview for reviewing the site before publication. + +> If the site is published, its hosting provider may keep request logs. The provider’s logging and retention policies haven’t been checked for this preview. + +The native disclosure remains. The old manuscript-scenes sentence is omitted as drafted; no manuscript content is added or changed. The page script and historical approval are unchanged. The existing builder’s publication-state substitutions now map the preview-status sentence to “This is the public seed edition of the Root Sequence site.” The proposed hosted logging note is “This site’s hosting provider may keep request logs. Its logging and retention policies haven’t been checked as part of this review.” These release variants remain part of the unapproved candidate for separate exact-source review. The existing release test checks removal of unpublished status and retention of the unverified-policy qualification. + +Credits and reuse is next and remains unchanged. Footer passage review is 3/4 complete under P1-08. This records prose acceptance and draft implementation, not approval to publish or a hosting-policy audit. + +Previous candidate: source `9a267217f70e73814323bf234cea420f08e9812dbf07c49e4eda37fbda024ccd`; HTML `d87cb1189c47070c6cf44afa6dcb82662bd7f57a204fb07c93eb25dbf0fb7b03`. + +## Accepted Accessibility and reading choices: October 18, 2026 (Pacific) + +Rae approved writing block `43872` and explicitly requested its application before Privacy review. The following exact wording is applied to visible HTML and English translation data: + +> Use **Reading** to make the text larger, reduce motion, choose one background color, or keep navigation in the page. Your device’s reduced-motion preference is also respected. + +> You can read the page without JavaScript, including opening these expandable sections. English is the source version; your browser’s translation tools can help you read it in another language. + +> The design aims for [WCAG 2.2 Level AA](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/), with [W3C’s cognitive accessibility guidance](https://www.w3.org/TR/coga-usable/) informing the layout. A full accessibility review is still needed, including testing with screen readers and on real devices. + +> [Report a reading or accessibility problem](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/root-sequence/issues) + +The references are inline as drafted, and Reading retains its emphasis. The three destinations, native disclosure, and reporting panel remain. The control description reflects the existing four Reading options, and the wording explicitly retains the incomplete accessibility-review qualification. It does not establish conformance or independent evaluation. + +Privacy wording is prepared for chat review and remains unchanged in source. Footer passage review is 2/4 complete under P1-08. The executable script, builder, tests, and historical publication approval are unchanged; separate exact-source publication approval remains pending. + +Previous candidate: source `a3fb7f8133227f2dd6f092c4f8d6d0a441fc2b33ae6ef7e065dfaa83160e894a`; HTML `09cbbec8a46045ef392cf910a58103e4ab9d26f635108e99599625dff5114440`. + +## Accepted Sources and page history: October 18, 2026 (Pacific) + +Rae approved writing block `92508` and explicitly requested its application before reviewing Accessibility and reading choices. Applied as four paragraphs with inline source links: + +> The repairable-phone example is hypothetical. It draws on questions developed in the [method and concept router](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/root-sequence/blob/main/research/method-router.md). + +> The working paper is still a draft. Its [earlier review discussion](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/root-sequence/pull/6) records author input and unfinished work. Previous versions remain in the repository history. + +> The [project map](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/root-sequence/blob/main/ECOSYSTEM.md) explains how the wider ecosystem fits together. + +> This page is an AI-assisted draft being reviewed before publication. The linked work keeps its own evidence notes and review status. + +The old numbered list and separate link rows are replaced by the approved paragraph layout. The three source destinations, native disclosure, and source-link panels remain. Visible wording and English translation data agree. The misleading fixed-revision claim is removed; the linked PR #6 is an earlier, closed, unmerged draft discussion, not research approval. + +The new preview sentence requires an updated publication-state substitution in `build.py`. Its proposed eventual hosted wording is “This page was developed with AI assistance.” The following evidence/review-status sentence remains. This release wording is part of the candidate for later exact-source review; no release is authorized. The existing release test checks that the unpublished draft sentence is removed and the AI disclosure retained. The footer revision label and sitemap date are updated to October 18. `approval.json` and the executable page script are unchanged. + +Footer passage review is 1/4 complete under P1-08. Accessibility wording is next and remains unapplied. Source approval, full-page review, and website publication remain distinct. + +Previous candidate: source `db6cb6144c77b252276f75024a93a0ca3adf573b7b5dcfd1c5fee5f91c9822ee`; HTML `a7a3b51fb2c7f21b9488049244044c971156cfa19be1725551e2c49cb1e78f07`. + +## Accepted Take part wording: October 17, 2026 (Pacific) + +Rae approved writing block `36791` and explicitly requested its application before reviewing the footer. The approved wording is applied verbatim to visible HTML and English translation data: + +> Start with something you’d like to explore or help make. There’s room to question the work as well as develop it. + +> **Discuss an idea** +> +> Use Root Sequence Discussions to talk through a question or ask where a possible contribution might fit. +> +> Open project discussions + +> **Suggest a correction** +> +> If something seems wrong or is difficult to use, open an issue and tell us where you found it. A short description is enough to start. +> +> Open the issue board + +> Both routes are public and require a GitHub account to post. Keep private or sensitive information out of public posts. + +The title, contribution-guide label, existing destination URLs, explanatory panels, and nothing-is-submitted note remain. Panels display the revised route descriptions and public-posting note. No account action, post, new contact method, or private material is included. Footer wording is prepared for review, not applied in this pass. P1-08 remains in progress; passage approval is separate from exact-source publication approval. + +Previous candidate: source `eef5e1a6d9b17556a25e6532a75e19b8fec45fa547800ad50d80182d924604ef`; HTML `cf10382a73f28b78e0ea5a929604df8a62337da33c768b1f391c6b3ba655667e`. + +## Accepted Wiki description and next review: October 17, 2026 (Pacific) + +Rae approved writing block `81962` and explicitly requested its application to the draft: + +> Helps you find your way around Root Sequence and follow connections between projects. Entries explain recurring terms and point to the fuller work, with notes on where ideas came from and how they have changed. + +The exact description is applied to HTML and English translation data, including the shared project-panel summary. The existing “Project reference · Public website” label remains. This completes all seven related-project description passages (ROADMAP P1-09); the underlying Wiki and its freshness are not validated by this passage review. + +A factual maintenance correction removes “light or dark colors” from the footer’s Reading instructions, matching the existing dark-only candidate and retained controls. No executable script, approval record, Wiki data, or project permissions change. The placement note now correctly identifies this source as a review candidate and labels its September 18 hosting account as historical. + +The next site review is Take part and the footer, followed by remaining project-panel copy and a full-page pass. Source/history wording still needs comparison with current source destinations. The requested later Wiki freshness and public-coverage work is queued in ROADMAP P3-01/P3-02; no private content is transferred or assumed current. Full-page and exact-source release approval remain separate. + +Previous candidate: source `d708b584356587c6e45b55637f7c3ab69d1bad1767148e6b6d0fca8c49f2738f`; HTML `279e6dd5a959f94395d976297307f0cced9292d598cc506f1b31fbf34c822060`. + +## Accepted Museum of Ordinary Life description: October 17, 2026 (Pacific) + +Rae approved writing block `60427` and explicitly requested its application to the draft. The exact passage is applied to visible HTML and English translation data, including the shared project-panel summary: + +> Documents everyday life while the people living it can still explain its details. The archive keeps records of ordinary things alongside the context that could help someone understand them years from now. + +The “Independent archive · Public website” label remains. The existing details panel still explains that the real archive and its fictional counterpart have different purposes and that sharing material with the real Museum does not automatically permit its use in the novel. That permission reminder remains available in the panel rather than the introductory description. The Museum’s own source, autonomy, collection permissions, and fictional canon are unchanged. The description was checked against its current [public introduction](https://museumofordinarylife.org/) in the preceding review. It describes the archive’s purpose, not independently verified preservation performance. + +Related-project passage review is now **6/7 complete**; Root Sequence Wiki is next and remains unchanged pending its own passage review. This records passage approval and draft implementation, not authority over the Museum or exact-source website publication approval. + +Previous candidate: source `24544528259af9ee733fef47974387d50538bf96f177b830cf0a810051ab7241`; HTML `189905adf3af70bac8f33409eeb148e587247dd33b0bc546e4a04d0b18801d9e`. + +## Being Human(e) passage and provisional status: October 17, 2026 (Pacific) + +Rae authorized application of writing block `72841` and the updated status, clarifying that the guide is not authoritative. The exact description is applied to HTML and English translation data, including the shared project-panel summary: + +> A developing field guide to being human and continuing to choose care. It draws on ordinary experience to explore how we relate to one another, including how we set boundaries and take responsibility when we cause harm. + +The status is now “Practical field guide · In development.” The public guide repository already contains writing and Astro site source; its listed live website was not verified in this review, so the old “not built yet” claim is removed from both the label and panel note. The panel now says: “The work is in development. Its observations are provisional and open to disagreement and revision.” This reflects Rae’s clarification and the guide’s existing open, evolving editorial scope; it does not turn observations into universal guidance. + +No external site link or private Atlas material is added. Other project descriptions and the existing script remain unchanged. Related-project passage review is now **5/7 complete**; Museum of Ordinary Life is next and remains unchanged pending its own passage review. This is draft-edit authorization, not a corpus-wide endorsement, authoritative status, or exact-source website publication approval. + +Previous candidate: source `3fe458f15b80d7a88d37e0a46539071596de9b9426655dfce675203d3f7ae482`; HTML `bb984f6a88d4974b08ed3efb7f37c83dd3360304e739e90ca2efdb2719c22868`. + +## Accepted Community Infrastructure and concise openings: October 17, 2026 (Pacific) + +Rae accepted the Community Infrastructure passage from writing block `57203`, asking that its first sentence start with “Explores” because the project name is already in the heading. Rae requested the same change for Coherent Computing and “Brings” for Coherent World. These precise editorial revisions are applied to visible HTML and English translation data; the shared project-panel summaries follow the same text. + +- Coherent World now starts “Brings research and design ideas into a possible future…”; the rest of its accepted passage and novel context link remain. +- Coherent Computing now starts “Explores how computing systems could work around people’s needs…”; the remainder preserves its broader lifecycle scope. +- Community Infrastructure now reads: “Explores how people can find community and organize everyday life together. It develops tools communities could run and shape for themselves, so people can coordinate help while choosing what they share and how they take part.” + +The heading supplies the name in each entry, so a descriptive opening need not repeat it. This is an editorial preference, not a requirement to start every project description with the same verb. The existing private/development/no-release labels remain.

After checking its current charter, conceptual model, lifecycle study, decision record, and outstanding draft scope, the revised writing block `46179` connected operating-system design with the broader conditions needed to keep technology useful. Rae accepted that revision and explicitly requested its application to the draft: + +> Coherent Computing explores how computing systems could work around people’s needs and remain understandable and under their control. The work connects operating-system design with what it takes to keep technology useful as people’s circumstances change and devices age. + +The exact revised passage is applied to HTML and English translation data, including the shared project-panel summary. The earlier OS-only proposal was not applied. The “Computing research · No public release” label and existing panel limits remain.

The exact passage is applied to the visible HTML and English translation data, which also supplies the project context panel: + +> A science-fiction novel about an advanced AI changing the world while much of everyday life still looks familiar.

The AI/accessibility paragraph now introduces Rae as “Rae Lovejoy, who started Root Sequence,” before describing the use of AI. The rest of that paragraph and the two following contribution/review paragraphs are unchanged. The founder credit and existing GitHub profile link remain in Credits and reuse; no diagnosis or new biographical claim is added. + +The Coherent World entry now reads: + +> Coherent World brings research and design ideas into a possible future to explore how they might affect one another and everyday life.

This revision restores the existing research-to-projects paragraph to the visible About flow, under “From research to projects.” It explains how practical and speculative projects relate to the inquiry, including the distinction between fiction and evidence. Its wording and project links are unchanged. The accepted lead and invitation also remain verbatim. + +The optional sections now cover the name and contribution boundaries. They use the same native component as the research disclosure and the four page-note sections. Competing CSS variants are removed. All seven text disclosures share ruled borders, summary padding, body text styling, and plus/minus indicators. The indicators are decorative and hidden from assistive technology. Navigation menus keep their distinct function and styling. + +No new research or maturity claim is introduced. The six research entries, complete methods/evidence/AI-use disclosure body, executable script, publication approval, and canonical research sources are unchanged. This layout remains a proposal; Rae’s feedback is not recorded as approval of the replacement design or publication. + +Previous condensed-About candidate: source `7465a292deee576b9d4f86495f3207d986acafeb6a1a94e3387cbed2dc3247e9`; HTML `f93c1620b93b06d2e8cb2569b5a7889eeccb5cfa0c930b82c909c9867c2b76cf`. + +## Shorter About layout proposal: October 17, 2026 + +Rae asked to try tightening the remaining About section after accepting its introduction and invitation. This proposal keeps both accepted passages visible and verbatim. Two native expandable sections follow: “Why ‘Root Sequence’?” retains the existing name explanation and canonical source link; “How the work connects” retains the project relationships and contribution boundaries. The latter links onward to the research and methods. The next visible reading route remains the everyday repair example. + +The long topic inventory and three mini-examples are removed from About. The hero already identifies the main subject areas, and the following section gives the full repair example. About’s repeated methods and general process paragraphs are also removed; the approved explanation remains available in the existing research disclosure. No canonical research document or detailed method is edited. + +The name explanation, project-relationship paragraph, collaboration-development status, and separate project permissions remain unchanged inside the expandable sections. Their new summary/heading labels and grouping are presentation proposals awaiting Rae’s review. Project links retain the existing context panels and no-script anchor fallback. The complete research section, executable script, and publication approval are unchanged. + +Previous accepted-About candidate: source `61272a6b01d96cd3f1dc10c4610dcbd9b4ea35c33262c7e903e955a81be68e7c`; HTML `d084ad7f4255c30f8943690b163f264f6df774d264c09c8c2a9b45334fbb3248`. + +## Accepted About explanation and invitation: October 17, 2026 + +Rae found the person-centered introduction too exclusive and the next proposal too generic. Rae then accepted writing block `86204` by replying “better” and requested the earlier participation invitation. The accepted explanation is applied verbatim as the About lead: + +> Root Sequence explores how the systems we build shape what becomes possible next. It looks beyond whether a design achieves its immediate goal to ask how it changes the conditions people depend on. + +It is followed by its own paragraph: + +> You can follow work already underway or bring a question of your own. + +The invitation sits before the topic examples, connecting the focus of the work with an open route into it. The founder credit and Rae’s GitHub link are in the existing Credits and reuse disclosure. The outdated no-JavaScript notice now accurately describes the dark palette. Research entries, methods/evidence/AI-use wording, scripts, and publication approval are unchanged. This records acceptance of these passages, not the complete layout or release source. + +Previous appearance-refinement candidate: source `1a0a5712569036d90c30dc3197fa2d5a8ba07340b00c2bb259c6b1134cdcfabd`; HTML `4403bb72e5975b137bf64260a50f1f071caa823d486ea642d2d831b92e507378`. + +## About, research, and dark appearance review: October 17, 2026 + +Rae found the relocated founder-credit line still forced, preferred the dark appearance, and supplied a screenshot showing the fragmented beginning of the research section. These changes respond to that feedback and remain proposals awaiting review. + +The separate credit line is removed. The About introduction now reads: “Root Sequence is where Rae Lovejoy explores questions that cross fields. Often, the first task is figuring out what kind of question is being asked.” Rae’s name retains its GitHub link. This introduces the person through the work instead of placing an attribution between the heading and paragraph. + +The research opening now groups the heading, a shorter introduction, and one native methods/evidence/AI-use disclosure. Its duplicate jump link is removed. The wider repository link follows the six selected entries, and the first entry no longer has a second rule competing with the disclosure border. All six entry descriptions and the disclosure’s complete contents remain verbatim. + +The draft now uses the existing dark palette as its only screen appearance, including before JavaScript runs. The light/system selector, theme preference handling, and theme-bootstrap script are removed. Other reading controls and existing non-theme preferences remain. System high-contrast styles and a black-on-white print layout are retained. The Content Security Policy hash is updated for the one remaining executable script without broadening its policy. No publication approval or deployment workflow is changed. + +Previous opening-layout candidate: source `6e9ee3e687fdfe00cdbec648c5d7fefdbaf9cdcd45ebdba867eaadd92b7fa1df`; HTML `232d492ec94b0b4f8c9954e8a4137037354952ac73082a49c26fb275d8827231`. + +## Opening layout review: October 17, 2026 + +Rae identified that the founder credit and reading instructions did not belong in one paragraph, and that the opening contained too much continuous text. This revision is a proposed response in the draft source, awaiting Rae’s review. + +The opening now contains the existing headline and mission, followed by a ruled navigation strip: “Start with an example” and “Explore the research.” The routes appear side by side on wide screens and stack on narrow screens. The founder credit appears on its own under “About this project.” The first two sentences of the former opening explanation replace the overlapping “How the research works” paragraph; its final sentence is omitted because the following “From research to projects” section already covers that transition. The prose sentence listing reading options is replaced by the navigation itself. + +The research section, including all six approved entries and the complete methods/evidence/AI-use disclosure, is unchanged. The English translation table follows the relocated text and new labels. No executable JavaScript, destination anchor, publication approval, or deployment workflow is changed. Existing source remains authoritative; this is not a parallel redesign. + +Previous complete-description candidate: source `1afcfd5f362532ef50c3aa0e12497e620cc647a4d954d5de8bdaf2074561694c`; HTML `3b6d69e88c4a7e63a083f8b3b739c0d6f116f0dc862605d1ed116e1a24273706`. + +## Accessibility and contribution copy approval: October 17, 2026 + +Rae requested adaptation of the earlier accessibility explanation and asked to see the draft before implementation. Rae then approved the displayed site and fuller README versions by replying “love.” The approved site wording is included verbatim in three paragraphs in the existing disclosure panel, alongside the unchanged method, evidence, and working-paper review limits. The fuller version lives in the research README; the main README routes to it. The organization-profile draft uses the approved short wording and links to the fuller record. + +This is passage-level approval and authorization to implement it in the draft PRs. It is not approval of the exact final website source for publication. `approval.json` remains unchanged, and the release gate must continue to reject the candidate.

No merge, deployment, or live-settings change is included. + +## About, research, and dark appearance refinement: 2026-10-17 + +The separate founder credit is replaced by an integrated About introduction. The research header has one native disclosure and a shorter introduction; the wider repository route follows the selected entries. The six entries and complete methods/evidence/AI-use disclosure were compared byte for byte with the preceding source and are unchanged. + +All 11 site checks pass. The existing script-hash check now expects one executable script, following removal of the theme bootstrap; the remaining script’s CSP hash matches its new bytes. The required-copy check follows the revised About introduction. Source and preview are byte-identical; fragments and generated files pass. `approval.json` remains historical and the candidate fails the release gate as intended. + +Desktop and 390 × 844 browser inspection found no horizontal overflow. The methods disclosure opens and closes by keyboard. Larger text and one-background mode were exercised at phone width without overflow, then reset. The reading menu retains four controls and has no theme selector. Viewport overrides were reset. + +With browser scripts disabled and a light OS preference emulated, the page still rendered dark (`color-scheme: dark`, body RGB 11/36/27). Print emulation rendered the About section white with black text. Both emulation overrides and script disabling were cleared afterward. Existing forced-colors styles remain in the source; full system high-contrast and screen-reader audits were not performed. + +Source digest: `1a0a5712569036d90c30dc3197fa2d5a8ba07340b00c2bb259c6b1134cdcfabd`. +Preview HTML SHA-256: `4403bb72e5975b137bf64260a50f1f071caa823d486ea642d2d831b92e507378`. + +These are selected presentation and behavior checks. The revised wording and appearance await Rae’s review under ROADMAP P1-08; they are not publication approval or research validation. + +## Accepted About wording and invitation: 2026-10-17 + +Applied the accepted two-sentence explanation from writing block `86204` verbatim, with the requested invitation in a separate paragraph immediately afterward. The founder credit and existing GitHub link now sit in Credits and reuse. Corrected the no-JavaScript notice’s outdated claim that colors follow the device; it now describes the dark palette accurately. + +All 11 site checks pass. The existing required-copy assertion follows the accepted About lead. The entire research section and executable script were compared with the preceding source and are unchanged; CSP and fragments pass. Preview output matches source byte for byte. The historical approval record and builder are unchanged; the candidate remains blocked from release as intended. + +Desktop and 390 × 844 browser inspection found readable wrapping with no horizontal overflow. The founder credit and link were checked in the native Credits and reuse disclosure. The temporary viewport override was reset. No new whole-repository audit, complete accessibility result, or research-validation result is claimed. + +Source digest: `61272a6b01d96cd3f1dc10c4610dcbd9b4ea35c33262c7e903e955a81be68e7c`. +Preview HTML SHA-256: `d084ad7f4255c30f8943690b163f264f6df774d264c09c8c2a9b45334fbb3248`. + +The explanation and invitation have passage approval. Broader layout review (ROADMAP P1-08) and exact-source publication approval remain separate. + +## Shorter About layout proposal: 2026-10-17 + +The accepted About lead and invitation remain verbatim. Repeated topic/example/method framing is removed from this section. The existing name explanation and project background now sit in two native expandable sections. A route to the research and methods replaces About’s repeated process explanation; the full repair example still follows About. No canonical research document is changed. + +All 11 site checks pass without changing the tests. The complete research section and executable script match the preceding source. CSP hashes, fragments, generated support files, and the blocked release gate pass; preview output matches source byte for byte. Active translation keys were checked against the English table. + +Both About sections were exercised by keyboard. A Coherent World link inside the second section opens its existing context dialog; Escape closes it and returns focus to the trigger. With page scripts disabled, the name section still opens by keyboard. Script execution was restored afterward. Desktop and 390 × 844 inspection found no horizontal overflow, and the temporary viewport override was reset. + +Source digest: `7465a292deee576b9d4f86495f3207d986acafeb6a1a94e3387cbed2dc3247e9`. +Preview HTML SHA-256: `f93c1620b93b06d2e8cb2569b5a7889eeccb5cfa0c930b82c909c9867c2b76cf`. + +This is selected layout and interaction validation, not a complete accessibility audit or approval of the proposed grouping. The source remains in draft; historical publication approval is unchanged. + +## About context and shared disclosures: 2026-10-17 + +The existing research-to-projects paragraph is visible again, adding context beyond the opening’s mission. Accepted About wording is unchanged. One native `content-disclosure` component now serves both optional About sections, the research disclosure, and four page-note sections. Competing style rules are removed; summary labels remain translated text, with decorative indicators hidden from assistive technology. + +All 11 site checks pass without test changes. Approved About passages, the research entry list, methods/evidence/AI-use disclosure body, and executable script were compared with the previous source and are unchanged. Active translation keys, fragments, and preview/source byte parity pass. The historical approval and builder are unchanged; the release gate remains blocked. + +Keyboard expansion was checked in About, research, and Credits and reuse; indicators switch to minus when open. Research and footer summaries have matching padding, and the research box background is removed. The visible Coherent World link opens its existing dialog. With scripts disabled, the name explanation still opens by keyboard. Script execution was restored. Desktop and 390 × 844 inspection, including larger text on the narrow view, found no horizontal overflow. Reading preferences and viewport overrides were reset. + +Source digest: `663a06b04b26b6899a7ac1a76491fc95259991e7e8a918d50519ffe40941e75c`. +Preview HTML SHA-256: `c6fbb506a90047d1e8b8e48e8882cfd8ee6651a18c466fb5ad5a6760e503e9ac`. + +These are selected presentation and interaction checks, not a full accessibility audit. The replacement layout awaits review under ROADMAP P1-08; no publication approval is inferred. + +## Contextual name and Coherent World passages: 2026-10-17 (Pacific) + +Applied the approved passages from writing blocks `30857` and `69418` to HTML and English translation data. Only the first AI/accessibility paragraph and the Coherent World description change in the site source. The existing novel context link, private/speculative status, founder credit, six research entries, executable script, builder, and historical publication approval remain unchanged. No One Noticed copy remains pending review. + +All 11 site checks pass without test changes, including fragment/CSP checks, source/preview byte parity, and the blocked exact-source release gate. Desktop (1575 pixels) and 390 × 844 browser inspection found readable wrapping without horizontal overflow. The novel link inside the revised Coherent World paragraph opens its existing dialog by keyboard; Escape closes it and returns focus to that link. The revised AI paragraph was inspected at both widths, and the native methods disclosure opened by keyboard. Temporary viewport settings were reset and normal desktop dimensions confirmed. + +Source digest: `dfb4b828ca7857d764c3b4a71ce286029f62a26fc561dc56ae2d070101aa67bd`. +Preview HTML SHA-256: `503a7fa2094f05a73975f9c799f517197db778b187c4255500c0cc12987ae29b`. + +These are selected copy/presentation checks, not a complete accessibility audit or research validation.

The candidate remains a draft. + +## Community Infrastructure and concise openings: 2026-10-17 (Pacific) + +Applied the accepted Community Infrastructure passage with the requested “Explores” opening. Removed the repeated name from the Coherent Computing and Coherent World openings, using “Explores” and “Brings.” HTML and English translation data agree; the existing novel link and status labels remain.

Changed the label to “Practical field guide · In development” and replaced the unverified website-not-built note with the statement that observations are provisional and open to disagreement and revision. No private Atlas material or unverified external link is added. Other project descriptions, executable script, builder, and historical publication approval remain unchanged. + +The first site run found one stale required-copy expectation for “Its public website has not been built yet.” That existing expectation now requires the new provisional-observations sentence instead.

The rendered prose matches all four approved paragraphs after excluding existing screen-reader-only link instructions. All three source destinations and their panel behavior remain. The builder maps the new preview sentence to a proposed hosted AI-assistance sentence; the existing release test now checks that unpublished wording is removed while AI disclosure remains.

The rendered four paragraphs match the approved text. The builder’s two publication-state substitutions were updated for the revised preview status and hosting-policy note.

The rendered three paragraphs match the approved wording after excluding screen-reader-only instructions. All four destinations remain. The first test run found one stale required label, “Cascadia Mono license”; the existing expectation now checks the approved “SIL Open Font License 1.1” label.

Source comparison confirms the English translation loses only `overlay.wikiExtra`, and the only executable change removes `extra:'wikiExtra'` from the Wiki configuration. Its CSP hash is refreshed.

All 11 site tests pass, including fragments, CSP, source/preview parity, and rejection by the exact-source release gate. + +Read the complete seven-section page and expanded About, methods, and four footer disclosures. The page distinguishes hypothetical examples, fiction, developing proposals, AI assistance, and incomplete research review. Desktop visual inspection at 1575 × 897 covered the introduction, About, research opening, possibilities, projects, and participation. All seven section-menu destinations received heading focus below the sticky header. The discussion link opens its explanatory panel; Tab reaches the correctly labelled GitHub action. No external action was activated. + +At desktop and 390 × 844, project panels retain their summaries and useful development/permission notes without empty paragraphs or horizontal overflow. The Wiki has exactly one description paragraph and its original website action. Escape restores trigger focus. A rapid mobile sweep sampled the prior World state for the novel; an individual state-synchronized check confirmed the novel title and no overflow. World’s inline novel link switches panels correctly and closes back to World’s trigger. A first anchor screenshot immediately after viewport switching had an outdated reading position; explicit section navigation then placed the introduction correctly. No persistent navigation failure was reproduced. + +At phone width, there is no section or page horizontal overflow, including with enlarged text. All four reading controls are reflected in the page data attributes; enlarged body text is 22.4 px, one background applies to chapters, less motion suppresses animation, and Keep navigation in the page makes the phone controls static. Reset clears all four choices. English/source-edition guidance remains available. Desktop dimensions and default reading choices were restored. + +In a temporary tab with script execution disabled, all seven sections and direct research-source links remain, the no-script explanation is visible, and methods/privacy native disclosures open by keyboard. Script execution was restored and the temporary tab closed. This is script-free reading verification, not a screen-reader or real-device test. Full accessibility conformance, assisted-technology review, print output, live-host behavior, and external website freshness were not newly tested. Earlier print and contrast records retain their dated scope. + +Screenshots and preview are in the local handoff outputs; only generated site files were served. The source-only publication gate remains in force. The broader reader-document suite was not rerun; the earlier 15-error baseline remains unresolved. The companion organization profile still needs wording consistency work (P1-10), especially Computing’s broader scope. Wiki freshness, private/public transfers, consent, licenses, research results, and fictional canon remain outside this edit. + +Source digest: `8dcd150886446fe180c985b87cc8f913b5d920ad81d8d422de208e46d634847e`. +Preview HTML SHA-256: `b532f50c0b875f762d695a6d872553983d733d6209e360383ab64776be08eb36`. + +P1-08 is complete for the supported page pass.
