Rebuild the site as a typographic verification surface - #76
Merged
Conversation
The site's job is verification, not discovery: nearly everyone who lands here already has a reason to look Nathan up. Rebuild the home page for a 30-second skim by that reader. - Home page: positioning line, three featured projects with role/stack/ years, then a one-line "also built" tail. Newsletter moves to the footer. - Typographic layout — hairline rules and type scale, no cards, no shadows. - Dark only. Six color tokens in tailwind.config.js; every dark:/light variant pair is gone. The site already rendered dark-locked, so the light variants were dead code and knowledge.md documented a toggle that never existed. - Mono is the system stack, not a webfont. - Delete the GitHub stats section and its whole pipeline: fetch script, OAuth device flow, data/github-stats.json, services/github/. - Delete the project search, the back-to-top button, the list transitions, the hover lifts, and the per-project icons. - Drop deps: @iconify/svelte, iconify, @octokit/*, tsx, dotenv, open, and the three unused Tailwind plugins. - /uses and /audioverse inherit the new tokens; Nav is replaced by a back link on each. - Rewrite knowledge.md and WARP.md, which described a light/dark toggle and a GitHub pipeline that no longer exist.

…le meta - .github/workflows/deploy.yml ran `pnpm run fetch-github` on every deploy, a script this branch deleted. The `|| echo` fallback swallowed the failure and printed a message about committed data that no longer exists, and a monthly cron existed only to re-run that no-op. Both removed. Found independently by two reviewers; no file-scoped agent had the workflow in scope. - `faint` was #5c6470, 3.27:1 against the background — below WCAG AA's 4.5:1, while carrying the role/stack/year metadata the design depends on. Now #767e8b (4.78:1). Contrast for every text token recorded in the config. - No focus-visible styles existed on a fully custom dark palette. Added an accent outline for links, buttons, and summary elements. - app.html still titled the page "Nathan Arthur - Full-stack Web Developer" and described him as building "tools for productivity" — the exact framing this redesign rejects. Title is now the name; the description is derived from the positioning constant so the two can't drift. - /uses had a title but no meta description, so it inherited the stale one. - knowledge.md claimed links-only interaction while /uses uses hover states on its filter controls; the guidance now carves those out and records the contrast rule. - package.json `test` shelled out to npm while WARP.md says always pnpm. - .prettierignore: exclude generated and machine-local files so `pnpm lint` passes locally. Auto-applied low-risk: /uses meta description, package.json test script, .prettierignore entries. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
All four approved from the review's ask-user bucket. - /uses fetched its YAML in onMount, so with JS off or slow it showed only "Loading…" forever — the one route that wasn't legible without JS. The YAML now parses at build time in a +page.ts load function and the page prerenders to static HTML with every item baked in. Deletes the isLoading/loadError branches, the runtime fetch, and the YamlHmr vite plugin. uses.yaml moves out of static/ to sit beside its only consumer. - Tag-filter logic extracted to uses/filter.ts and covered by 8 real tests, replacing src/demo.spec.ts (which asserted 1 + 2 === 3). Filter buttons also gained aria-pressed, which they never had. - Footer.svelte had one instantiation, no props, no reuse — the same shape as the Nav.svelte this branch already deleted in favour of inlining. Folded into +layout.svelte; the component and src/components/ are gone. - src/lib/index.ts was untouched SvelteKit scaffold; nothing imports $lib. - ci.yml had no permissions block and persisted checkout credentials in all four jobs, while deploy.yml already set both. Now contents: read at the workflow level and persist-credentials: false on every checkout. Clears all 4 zizmor artipacked and 5 excessive-permissions findings. Verified in a browser: /uses renders with no loading state, the tag filter narrows to the right items, and clearing restores all 9 categories.

…ls, doc drift - Every page shipped two <title> elements: app.html's static one plus each route's svelte:head. The route title is what actually rendered, so this was ambiguous rather than broken, but duplicate titles are invalid either way. app.html no longer sets a title or description; every route supplies its own. Verified in the built output: exactly one title and one description per page. - Added +error.svelte so the 404 isn't the untitled SvelteKit default once app.html stopped providing a fallback. It inherits the layout and reports the real status. Verified: /nope renders as "404 — Nathan Arthur". - The /uses tag buttons had only their tag word as an accessible name, giving no hint that activating one filters the entire page — including hiding the item the button sits on. Both the filter chips and the inline item tags now carry aria-label="Filter by <tag>". - knowledge.md and WARP.md still described /uses as fetching static/data/uses.yaml at runtime, referenced the deleted src/components/ and demo.spec.ts, and documented the removed YamlHmr plugin — stale from the previous commit's own restructure. Both now match the code. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The cycle 2 commit claimed "/nope renders as 404 — Nathan Arthur". That verification was invalid: it was checked through `pnpm preview`, which SSRs on the fly rather than serving the static tree. The real build contained no 404 file at all, so +error.svelte would never have rendered for a direct hit, external link, or bookmark — only for client-side navigation by an already- hydrated visitor. Serving build/ with a plain static server and requesting /nope returned the generic host error page. - svelte.config.js: adapter-static now uses `fallback: '404.html'`, so +error.svelte is emitted as build/404.html. - wrangler.jsonc: `not_found_handling: "404-page"` so Cloudflare serves it for unmatched paths. - The fallback is a client-rendered shell with no title until JS runs. Accepted and documented — a 404 shouldn't be indexed anyway. - WARP.md records the `pnpm preview` trap so the same bad verification isn't repeated. - knowledge.md and WARP.md still pointed at Footer.svelte for the Supascribe --csw-* overrides; that file was deleted two commits ago and the overrides live in +layout.svelte. Verified: build/404.html exists and renders title "404 — Nathan Arthur" with the site layout intact. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

CodeRabbit disputed the claim that `pnpm preview` doesn't reflect production 404s, citing Vite's docs for plain `vite preview`. SvelteKit replaces that middleware, so the generic docs don't apply. Verified by experiment: built with `adapter()` and no fallback, so `build/` contained no 404.html, then requested /nope through `pnpm preview` — it returned a fully server-rendered "404 — Nathan Arthur" page with status 404. The wording now states the mechanism and cites that result. Also gitignore .playwright-cli and .static-analysis, which local tooling writes into the repo and which were failing `pnpm lint`.

- Add /writing listing each Beeminder article individually (verified against the author page: exactly 3 posts, no pagination) plus the Substack newsletter. The home page's "Writing" link now points here instead of off-site. - Replace the emoji favicon with a self-hosted mark, removing a third-party request to fav.farm on every page load. favicon.png was still the default SvelteKit logo; it's now rendered from the SVG so the two can't diverge. Single letterform rather than a two-letter monogram: rendered at 16px, "na" collapses into an unreadable smudge while "n" stays legible. - Accent changed from gold to #8dee00 (13.39:1 on the background, clears AA). - The accent is now the CSS variable --accent rather than a compiled Tailwind value, so it's themeable from one place — and so the picker below can drive it. - TEMPORARY dev-only accent picker (native <input type="color"> plus presets and a live contrast readout). Gated on `dev`, so it is absent from the production build — verified against build output. Delete the marked blocks in +layout.svelte once a colour is settled. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Both found by review of the previous commit.
- The picker's $effect was declared outside the {#if dev} block, so only the
markup was eliminated — the effect itself shipped and ran on every production
page load, contradicting the "none of this ships" comment guarding it.
Gating the body means the whole picker is tree-shaken: the production bundle
now contains no setProperty and no --accent reference at all.
- fav.png and favcheck.png were debug screenshots from the favicon work,
accidentally committed at the repo root by a `git add -A`. Removed.
Also switch the accent to #8ded51 (13.39:1, clears AA), re-render favicon.png
from the SVG so the pair stays in step, and document that editing
tailwind.config.js does not hot-reload — Vite keeps the previously generated CSS,
so utility classes keep the old colour while plain-CSS rules update, which looks
like a half-applied theme until you restart the dev server.

- "pledge mony" → "pledge money" in the TaskRatchet description on the home page, which is above the fold. - Prettier reflow of the two touched files; `pnpm lint` was failing, so CI would have gone red. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The rule ("keep it specific and falsifiable; 'full-stack web developer' is not
a claim") came out of the design session, but the shipped copy deliberately
leads with that phrase. Nathan chose the copy over the rule, so the rule goes
rather than leaving the doc contradicting the code.
What remains in its place is factual, not prescriptive: the positioning constant
also feeds the home page's meta description, so editing it changes the search
result too.

It ships nothing, and the accent has been re-chosen more than once, so deleting it just means rebuilding it next time. The problem was only that its comments called it TEMPORARY and told the reader to delete it — a comment that lies about the code, which is the failure mode this branch has already hit twice. Relabelled as intentional in +layout.svelte and recorded in knowledge.md, both carrying the warning the review earned: keep every part behind `dev`, including effect BODIES, because an ungated $effect is emitted into the production bundle even when its markup is eliminated.

Redesign of nathanarthur.com, scoped by a grilling session before any code was written. Decisions recorded in Fieldnotes (
Projects/nathanarthur.com Redesign.md).The framing
The site's job is verification, not discovery. Nearly everyone who lands here already has a reason to look me up — most often someone holding my application. It converts the visits that happen; it does not address anything upstream of them.
What changed
Home page — name, a positioning line, then three featured projects each carrying role, stack, and year range, then a one-line "also built" tail. Newsletter moved to the footer. Contact is GitHub / LinkedIn / writing / email, stated once — no "open to work" line (current clients read this site) and no agency CTA.
Visual language — typographic rather than card-based: hairline rules, type scale, whitespace. Dark only, six colour tokens, system mono for metadata. Links underline on hover; nothing else moves.
Deleted — the GitHub-stats section and its entire pipeline (fetch script, OAuth device flow,
data/github-stats.json,services/github/), the Nav, the project search, the back-to-top button, all list transitions, allmdi:icons, everydark:variant,src/lib/, and 7 npm dependencies plus 3 unused Tailwind plugins.Net −13,000 lines.
What the review loop caught
Four cycles, ~12 agents. The findings that mattered were the ones no single file could reveal:
deploy.ymlran a deleted script on every deploy. It calledpnpm run fetch-githubwith a|| echofallback naming a file that no longer exists, so every deploy silently took the failure branch — plus a monthly cron that existed only to re-run that no-op. Two agents found it independently; no file-scoped reviewer had the workflow in scope.faintcolour token failed WCAG AA at 3.27:1, while carrying the role/stack/year metadata the whole 30-second-scan premise depends on. Now 4.78:1.app.htmlstill titled every page "Nathan Arthur - Full-stack Web Developer" — the exact framing this redesign exists to reject. Each route now sets its own title and description; the home page derives its description from the positioning constant so they can't drift./useswas client-rendered, showing "Loading…" forever without JS. Now parsed at build time and prerendered to static HTML.

pnpm lint,pnpm check,pnpm test(8 passing) andpnpm buildall green. All four routes checked in a browser against the plain static build: one<h1>and one correct<title>each, tag filter narrows and clears correctly, focus rings visible.Before merging
The positioning line is a placeholder behind a
TODO(nathan)insrc/routes/+page.svelte. It reads finished enough to merge unnoticed — replace it. The meta description derives from that same constant.Also worth grabbing the Cloudflare zone-analytics baseline before this ships, or the before/after comparison is lost.
