Version notes, evidence snapshots, structural changes. A record of what this was at each point it changed.

snapshot as of November 2024 / numbers are secondary evidence
structure
v5 — Navigation simplified
Autopsies and Experiments removed from primary nav. Both now exist as type labels inside Logs. Videos and About added. Homepage reduced to hero, recent logs, fragments, and hidden world close.
structure
v4 — Final polish pass
Inline styles consolidated into site.css. Media slot system added across all pages. Hidden access mechanism refined — less announced, more discovered.
structure
v2 / v3 — Successive rebuilds
v1 rebuilt to v2. Logs section created. Workflows removed. Analytics removed from primary nav. Hidden subsystem introduced in v3. Topology seam model introduced in v4.
evidence
Autopsy #006 completed
Full dissection of the 23% contact record. Root cause: setup failed to maintain momentum established by opening. Hypothesis filed as EXP-007.
evidence
EXP-007 started
Visual disruption vs clean opening. Day 8: disruption variant holds a 22-point gap. Remains open.
evidence
EXP-005 concluded
One contact window dominant. One effectively non-functional at this scale. Timing now a controlled variable.
removal
Analytics removed from primary navigation
Metrics were becoming the identity rather than secondary evidence. Performance data preserved but relocated. Requires more than a click to reach. That is intentional.
removal
Simulated live counter removed
v1 included JS that randomly incremented metric displays. Simulated liveness is a form of dishonesty.
note
v1.0 launched
High-neon aesthetic. Creator-adjacent writing. Inconsistent tone. Sufficient for a first version.
note
Project initiated
Decision made to keep a public record — not as a brand exercise, but as an archive. The distinction is easy to state and easy to lose.
