Changelog

2026-09-23

The cockpit gets a lock

/admin now sits behind a passphrase gate (httpOnly cookie, server-verified) — client briefs stay private. Provisioning shipped with it: accepting a brief opens the project, the portal and the ops pipeline in one move.

2026-09-23

Mobile menu + field notes

The nav works on phones now — a fullscreen menu with the same real routes. /learn opens: plain-language essays on speed, conversion and ownership, linked from The Machine and the footer.

2026-09-23

The funnel goes live

/start opens — a 4-step brief intake that issues every client a private build tracker. Ops cockpit and client portal wired to the same database.

2026-09-22

Background engine rebuilt

The whole site now runs the in-house background grammar — liquid shaders, blob fields, the blackout hero — ported verbatim from the trials deck and verified on real hardware.

2026-09-22

Multi-page architecture

Real pages replace one-page anchors: The Work, The Machine, The Lifecycle, The Okanagan, FAQ, Changelog, System status, legal. Mega-footer with the full map.

2026-09-21

Okanagan valley illustration

Layered valley scene — lake, bridge lights, orchard benchlands — replacing generic vectors.

2026-09-21

Real hardware QA

Every visual claim now verified on a real GPU (RTX 2070 via remote Chrome) — headless-lane evidence banned.

2026-09-20

Type + tokens v2

Instrument Serif, Inter Tight and JetBrains Mono self-hosted; Okanagan Noir token system locked (type scale 1.333, one easing family).

2026-09-20

Data layer

Funnel database live: briefs, leads, projects, deployments, messages, events — client-owned rows, no sharing across businesses.
