Writing & build logs.
Essays on software development, web builds, and AI tooling. Plus build notes from what I'm actually working on right now.
Ultracode found nothing wrong with six stuck pages. The blocker was the footer.
PR #153 ran an ultracode review on five legal pages and /stamp-duty-calculator, all flagged as unknown to Google for consecutive weeks. Every technical check returned clean: HTTP 200, index follow, canonical self-referencing. The blocker was not in the code.

Two card corrections arrived from the phone within the hour. The Uigen card was carrying a name the repo README hadn’t updated since January.
