The Scriptorium

One room for the build loop, manifest, agent ledger, known issues, and change record. Trust belongs here, not scattered across every page.

How this site builds itself

The loop

The durable core is simple: plan the release, generate static pages, validate the contract, review the result, then deploy only after checks pass.

Plan

Scope the change

Architectural notes and phase contracts define what the agents are allowed to change.

Generate

Draft the artifact

Codex edits the static pages while creative surfaces contribute page concepts and plate direction.

Validate

Check the build

Links, images, labels, and manifest fields become gates before deployment is allowed.

Review

Human taste-check

The lab reviews the visible site, corrects tone, and decides what is ready for public use.

Deploy

Publish static files

DreamHost receives the built static output after rollback and cache rules are in place.

Build receipt

Build Manifest

A mock manifest styled like the Bible code blocks. Real values will be stamped by the static generator.

Public maintenance debt

Known Issues / Maintenance Debt

These are visible on purpose. Uncertainty belongs in the operating record until the build gates make it impossible to ignore.

Tagged change record

The public record uses plain tags: New, Improved, and Fixed.
