The Record.
Entries, releases and defect post-mortems. Every entry carries an ISO-8601 date, a permalink, the byte anchors its facts came from, and a state that is allowed to move backwards. Nothing enters this page that is not already established in the project’s fact ledger, or that does not arrive carrying its own evidence.
The most useful entries here are the failures. A record whose entries can only improve is a marketing page with dates on it.
The four states
- published
- Stands as written.
- draft
- Written; not yet true in the world.
- superseded
- Right about what happened; no longer the current explanation.
- withdrawn
- Was public; is not published any more. Kept so it stays findable.

A case-sensitive check shipped a contradiction
Two pages disagreed about whether anything was in production. The first fix was verified with a case-sensitive search, and the lowercase copy survived.
- publishedentry
Thirty edges, and none of them were ever drawn
A geometric constant sat one order of magnitude below the value it was compared against, so an icosahedron rendered as a cloud of unconnected points for weeks.
- publishedentry
A four-second heartbeat to a file that was never there
A liveness probe pinged a favicon the site does not have. Every ping was a 404 and a paid invocation, forever, including in hidden tabs.

Why every entry here carries a state
Four states — draft, published, superseded, withdrawn — and what each one is for.
- publishedrelease 2026.1.0
The site rebuild
Contrast, layout, canvas scheduling, cache thrash and copy discipline. Grouped by what changed.
- supersededentry
The status ticker that blacked out its own words
A blend mode with no isolation, over a compositor layer wider than the graphics texture limit. Fixed twice, and the second measurement retired the theory.
- withdrawnentry
Withdrawn: automated tests, described as passing
The count of automated tests was provable and understated. The word attached to it was not, so the word was removed.
