+
+### Fixed
+
+- Reference examples grant no permission, treat embedded instructions as data and stay optional at Mock; the showcase link uses the manifest's release tag.
+- Crumb & Co gate results are labelled as package 0.1.19, with the current BM04 screenshot sheets and per-mockup 4x crops recorded as missing from that run.
+- The repository-only showcase is excluded from the npm package; packaged README links use the release-tagged repository copy.
+- The packaged demo example uses generic calculator and search tool names while preserving the receipt-bound originals.
+- Mock feedback asks the user what feels off before revision; provenance records Anatomy structural inspiration, and README tool limits keep Mock BLOCKED without a browser capture.
+
+### Added
+
+- Phase 2 results-first showcase: the real Crumb & Co demo's three mockups, built page, screenshots, research sources, stage timing and gate limits, plus a packaged text example and copied run-log evidence.
+- Anatomy by Ryan (MIT) credit for leading with results, real times and limits.
+- Size tiers with planning estimates, a first-hour viewable mockup requirement and user approval before a full rebuild.
+- Five repo-only evaluation specifications covering a small business page, portfolio, redesign, accessibility audit and blocked research without web access.
+- Per-direction screenshot sheets at 390 px and 1440 px, 4x header and content-junction crops, and image inspection before choosing a mockup.
+- Plain explanations of the failure each checklist gate prevents, plus README limits and loading-time evidence.
+
+### Changed
+
+- README and skill entrypoint lead with current-day research and the results to expect.
+- Phase 2 restores the README skill-pack lead, puts the real demo before the method, replaces the one-page planning estimate with its measured run, and adds a second look at Mock while labelling invented examples on their first line.

+Request: "Build a one-page website for Crumb & Co, a neighbourhood bakery. White background, warm and simple. It needs the menu with prices, opening hours, the address with a map link, and a button to order ahead. Static site, no framework."
+
+**24 min 48 s of active time, research to proof, one run.** One host (Claude Code), one model (Claude Sonnet 5.5), SOLO. Demo business with placeholder content, not deployed. Install and report writing are outside that time; stage intervals include thinking and tool waits. Independent review, screen-reader and Lighthouse checks stayed blocked.
+
+Gate results are those of package 0.1.19. The current BM04 also requires screenshot sheets and 4x crops of each mockup, which this run did not produce.
+
+Chosen mockup: B, Info Strip (operator selection).

+
+See [all three directions, mobile views, stage times and limits](https://github.com/aunysillyme/website-build-skill/blob/v0.1.20/docs/showcase/README.md).
+
+Treat the first mockup as a draft: say what feels off and ask again.
 
-- **The problem:** an AI builds websites from what it remembered at training time: dated frameworks, generic layouts, and missed accessibility, speed and security basics.
-- **What you get:** research instructions that make your AI look up what is current on the day you ask, plus design, coding, accessibility, performance, search and security playbooks and checklists it follows on every site.
+For a new engagement, the current method requires a saved research library, brand rules,
+three visual directions with screenshot sheets and 4x crops of each mockup,
+the selected website and evidence for its release checks.
+Start with the size you need, then install and follow the route below.
+
+## Pick the size
+
+The one-page entry is one measured demo run through Prove, with limits. Other tiers are ESTIMATES for planning.
+
+| Size | What it holds | Time and evidence |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| One page | One primary action, essential sections, contact details and a responsive layout. | MEASURED: 24 min 48 s, research to proof, [one demo run with limits](https://github.com/aunysillyme/website-build-skill/blob/v0.1.20/docs/showcase/README.md). |
+| Small site (2-6 pages) | Shared navigation and styles, a home page and supporting service, work, about or contact pages. | ESTIMATE: 1-2 working days |
+| Full rebuild | Existing-site review, content and route mapping, redesigned page templates, redirects and release checks. | ESTIMATE: 1-2 weeks |
+
+Produce a viewable mockup within the first hour, whatever the size. Record any
+blocked prerequisite and missed target; keep research and visual proof gates in force.
+Propose a full rebuild with a smaller first version and wait for the user's yes
+before starting the full rebuild. Use the recorded demo as a reference with its stated limits.
+
+## How long it takes
+
+The recorded host trials cover loading the skill, about 1-3 minutes, with one run
+each for [Claude Code](docs/evidence/host-trial-claude-code-2026-09-24.json),
+[Codex](docs/evidence/host-trial-codex-2026-09-24.json) and
+[Grok Build CLI](docs/evidence/host-trial-grok-build-2026-09-24.json).
+These are loading checks. The [Crumb & Co run](https://github.com/aunysillyme/website-build-skill/blob/v0.1.20/docs/showcase/README.md) separately records
+24 min 48 s across Research, Learn, Ingest, Scope, Match, Mock, Choose, Build and Prove.
+Its 43 s install is logged separately. Stage intervals include thinking and tool waits;
+writing the report afterward is excluded. One host, one model and placeholder content
+make this a reference point, with Protect, Challenge and Ship still not run.
+
+## Limits
+
+- **Evidence:** native SOLO loading has one recorded run per host above, under the operator's existing configuration. Crumb & Co adds one SOLO demo through Prove on Claude Code, with partial and blocked gates. The complete twelve-stage route, TEAM, account tools, independent-review access and deployment remain UNVERIFIED until real trials cover them. Other hosts have documented setups awaiting trials. See [compatibility](docs/COMPATIBILITY.md).
+- **Codex sandbox:** its receipt used a read-only sandbox and exercised loading only. Check the current session's file, shell, network and browser permissions before building; the skill grants no permissions.
+- **Tools:** current research needs web access to opened sources. No web access keeps research BLOCKED, including with an older saved library. BM04 needs a browser capture, so a host with no browser stays BLOCKED at Mock. Executing builds and automated checks needs a shell; missing tools require named handoffs and returned evidence before the relevant gate can pass.
+- **Proof:** local repository tests check files and rules. They do not prove an AI follows the full method or produces a finished site. The five [eval prompts](https://github.com/aunysillyme/website-build-skill/blob/main/evals/evals.json) are repo-only evaluation specifications, not completed runs or packaged installer inputs.

-| S01: exposed surface and source currency | Endpoints, forms, integrations, inputs, secrets or host response classes are missing from the threat map. | Open current security/host source claims and inspect candidate routes/resources. Record callers, trust boundaries, data flow, authorizations, and applicability. |
-| S02: enforced response headers | Required response classes lack the intended CSP, HSTS where ready, nosniff, framing protection, referrer or permissions policy. | Inspect actual GET responses for success, redirects, errors, assets, proxies and functions. Require one intended enforced CSP; report-only or duplicate intersections do not pass. |
-| S03: narrow CSP and HTTPS readiness | Production unsafe-eval, unreviewed wildcard script origins, reused static nonces, or unready HSTS scope is present. | Compare exact origin inventory and inline hash/nonce design to served bytes. Retain HTTPS/subdomain readiness and explicit preload decision if applicable. |
-| S04: functional policy and scanner | Required scanner is unavailable/below A, or an A/A+ grade substitutes for working journeys. | Save dated securityheaders.com result for the exact URL and browser results with enforced CSP. Unavailable grade is UNVERIFIED and required grade check BLOCKED. |
-| S05: input and rendering | Dangerous URLs, script-bound JSON, empty IDs, attributes or rich HTML escape their intended context. | Run build B02/B04/B05 and endpoint negative cases against the exact candidate. Record rejection behavior and inert generated output. |
-| S06: authorization and dependency boundaries | Applicable auth, payments, uploads, origin checks or dependency risks lack evidence. | Test unauthenticated and wrong-authority requests, rejected content, and relevant advisory/version claims within authorized scope. Mark inapplicable surfaces with reasons. |
-| S07: secrets and public payload | Credentials, private research, personal data, source assets without rights, or unrelated files enter client/deploy output. | Inspect actual upload allowlist and built assets; use redacted evidence for secret checks. Verify exact rights notices and environment separation. |
-| S08: independent audit readiness | Candidate is moving, AUDIT_BRIEF lacks design reasoning, or family/read-only evidence is missing. | Read immutable identity, runtime, callers, threat model, prior tests, design choices, reproduction commands, model-family proof and Reviewer tool boundary. Internal review leaves independent gate unmet. |
+| S01: exposed surface and source currency<br>Prevents exposed routes and data flows from being left out of security checks. | Endpoints, forms, integrations, inputs, secrets or host response classes are missing from the threat map. | Open current security/host source claims and inspect candidate routes/resources. Record callers, trust boundaries, data flow, authorizations, and applicability. |
+| S02: enforced response headers<br>Prevents required browser protections from being absent on some responses. | Required response classes lack the intended CSP, HSTS where ready, nosniff, framing protection, referrer or permissions policy. | Inspect actual GET responses for success, redirects, errors, assets, proxies and functions. Require one intended enforced CSP; report-only or duplicate intersections do not pass. |
+| S03: narrow CSP and HTTPS readiness<br>Prevents overly broad script permissions and premature HTTPS settings. | Production unsafe-eval, unreviewed wildcard script origins, reused static nonces, or unready HSTS scope is present. | Compare exact origin inventory and inline hash/nonce design to served bytes. Retain HTTPS/subdomain readiness and explicit preload decision if applicable. |
+| S04: functional policy and scanner<br>Prevents a header grade from hiding broken user journeys. | Required scanner is unavailable/below A, or an A/A+ grade substitutes for working journeys. | Save dated securityheaders.com result for the exact URL and browser results with enforced CSP. Unavailable grade is UNVERIFIED and required grade check BLOCKED. |
+| S05: input and rendering<br>Prevents unsafe input from escaping into executable page content. | Dangerous URLs, script-bound JSON, empty IDs, attributes or rich HTML escape their intended context. | Run build B02/B04/B05 and endpoint negative cases against the exact candidate. Record rejection behavior and inert generated output. |
+| S06: authorization and dependency boundaries<br>Prevents sensitive actions from passing without access and dependency checks. | Applicable auth, payments, uploads, origin checks or dependency risks lack evidence. | Test unauthenticated and wrong-authority requests, rejected content, and relevant advisory/version claims within authorized scope. Mark inapplicable surfaces with reasons. |
+| S07: secrets and public payload<br>Prevents secrets, private files and assets without rights from being published. | Credentials, private research, personal data, source assets without rights, or unrelated files enter client/deploy output. | Inspect actual upload allowlist and built assets; use redacted evidence for secret checks. Verify exact rights notices and environment separation. |
+| S08: independent audit readiness<br>Prevents review from starting with changing code or missing review evidence. | Candidate is moving, AUDIT_BRIEF lacks design reasoning, or family/read-only evidence is missing. | Read immutable identity, runtime, callers, threat model, prior tests, design choices, reproduction commands, model-family proof and Reviewer tool boundary. Internal review leaves independent gate unmet. |

 | Check | Reject condition | Method and required evidence |
 | --- | --- | --- |
-| SH01: independent family and read-only review | Review is INTERNAL, self-review, same-family, unspecified-family, or Reviewer changed the candidate. | Compare actual Builder and Reviewer family evidence, fixed inspected identity, tool constraints and unchanged candidate bytes. Different model names or roles do not prove different families. Independent gate is NOT MET and shipment BLOCKED for internal review. |
-| SH02: independent ASK DATE rejection | Any acted-on library claim or top-up lacks source/access evidence, predates ASK DATE, has a false source date, expired window, or fresh stamp over unrevalidated content. | Reviewer applies research.md AD09, repeating AD01 through AD08 against scope, actual claim IDs, openings, original-access/revalidation history, all fourteen windows and later-day checks. Return read-only findings with locations and evidence. |
-| SH03: reproduced dispositions | A review allegation is treated as confirmed without reproduction, a material issue is unresolved, or a confirmed fix lacks regression evidence. | Read original findings and ROUND 1 dispositions. Require before-fix failure and after-fix pass for confirmed fixes, explicit inconclusive/not-reproduced results, and post-fix affected-check results. One independent round; harness verifies corrections. |
-| SH04: final artifact continuity | Promoted bytes differ from the reviewed/fixed candidate without an explained, checked change. | Compare reviewed predecessor, bounded fix diff, final harness artifact digest, upload manifest, and preview identity. No moving-branch rebuild substitutes for checked bytes. |
-| SH05: prerequisite gates and approvals | Research, rights, brand selection, build, accessibility, performance/discovery, security, or required review evidence remains incomplete. | Reopen every applicable receipt and artifact. Researcher corrects library claims; owning roles correct top-ups; Coordinator accepts verified revisions without editing producer evidence. |
-| SH06: concrete release authority | Target, account, project, domain, action, operator, or rollback authority falls outside recorded authorization. | Read the user's existing scope and exact prepared release plan. If missing, request authorization only after the candidate is concrete and reviewable. No implied purchases, account creation, unrelated DNS or key rotation. |
-| SH07: public payload and recovery | Private work files or secrets enter deployment, or rollback/safe recovery lacks an identified target and procedure. | Inspect the final allowlist and exact artifact. Name known-working recovery identity, operator, commands, limits and verification; initial releases need an explicit safe recovery plan. |
-| SH08: live routes and journey | Deployment command success substitutes for actual HTTPS, route, asset, error, or primary-action checks. | After authorized promotion, record public URLs, deployment identity/time, GET responses, mobile/desktop browser results, production CSP and complete primary journey. Critical failure triggers the authorized recovery procedure and verification. |
-| SH09: live discovery and honest measurement | Canonical/schema/sitemap/llms data drift, or social caches, field results or analytics receipt are asserted without evidence. | Inspect live origin responses and discovery parity. Keep actual third-party cache/property/field observations separate; name UNVERIFIED follow-ups and measurement owner. |
-| SH10: complete operations and handoff | SITE_OPERATIONS.md cannot guide a cold reader or omits what watches the site and who handles failure. | Read the one document end to end: purpose, trigger, invocation chain, dependencies, reads, writes, closed loop, failure modes, manual run/verify/recovery, source of truth. Verify tested commands; mark untested procedures UNVERIFIED. |
+| SH01: independent family and read-only review<br>Prevents self-review or a changed candidate from being called independent review. | Review is INTERNAL, self-review, same-family, unspecified-family, or Reviewer changed the candidate. | Compare actual Builder and Reviewer family evidence, fixed inspected identity, tool constraints and unchanged candidate bytes. Different model names or roles do not prove different families. Independent gate is NOT MET and shipment BLOCKED for internal review. |
+| SH02: independent ASK DATE rejection<br>Prevents stale or unsupported research from being accepted for release. | Any acted-on library claim or top-up lacks source/access evidence, predates ASK DATE, has a false source date, expired window, or fresh stamp over unrevalidated content. | Reviewer applies research.md AD09, repeating AD01 through AD08 against scope, actual claim IDs, openings, original-access/revalidation history, all fourteen windows and later-day checks. Return read-only findings with locations and evidence. |
+| SH03: reproduced dispositions<br>Prevents untested allegations and unproven fixes from deciding release readiness. | A review allegation is treated as confirmed without reproduction, a material issue is unresolved, or a confirmed fix lacks regression evidence. | Read original findings and ROUND 1 dispositions. Require before-fix failure and after-fix pass for confirmed fixes, explicit inconclusive/not-reproduced results, and post-fix affected-check results. One independent round; harness verifies corrections. |
+| SH04: final artifact continuity<br>Prevents releasing different files from the ones that were reviewed and checked. | Promoted bytes differ from the reviewed/fixed candidate without an explained, checked change. | Compare reviewed predecessor, bounded fix diff, final harness artifact digest, upload manifest, and preview identity. No moving-branch rebuild substitutes for checked bytes. |
+| SH05: prerequisite gates and approvals<br>Prevents release while required checks and approvals are incomplete. | Research, rights, brand selection, build, accessibility, performance/discovery, security, or required review evidence remains incomplete. | Reopen every applicable receipt and artifact. Researcher corrects library claims; owning roles correct top-ups; Coordinator accepts verified revisions without editing producer evidence. |
+| SH06: concrete release authority<br>Prevents release actions from exceeding the user's permission. | Target, account, project, domain, action, operator, or rollback authority falls outside recorded authorization. | Read the user's existing scope and exact prepared release plan. If missing, request authorization only after the candidate is concrete and reviewable. No implied purchases, account creation, unrelated DNS or key rotation. |
+| SH07: public payload and recovery<br>Prevents private-file exposure and a release with no usable recovery plan. | Private work files or secrets enter deployment, or rollback/safe recovery lacks an identified target and procedure. | Inspect the final allowlist and exact artifact. Name known-working recovery identity, operator, commands, limits and verification; initial releases need an explicit safe recovery plan. |
+| SH08: live routes and journey<br>Prevents a successful deploy command from hiding a broken live site. | Deployment command success substitutes for actual HTTPS, route, asset, error, or primary-action checks. | After authorized promotion, record public URLs, deployment identity/time, GET responses, mobile/desktop browser results, production CSP and complete primary journey. Critical failure triggers the authorized recovery procedure and verification. |
+| SH09: live discovery and honest measurement<br>Prevents live search details and measurement claims from outrunning their proof. | Canonical/schema/sitemap/llms data drift, or social caches, field results or analytics receipt are asserted without evidence. | Inspect live origin responses and discovery parity. Keep actual third-party cache/property/field observations separate; name UNVERIFIED follow-ups and measurement owner. |
+| SH10: complete operations and handoff<br>Prevents a handoff that leaves the next operator unable to check or recover the site. | SITE_OPERATIONS.md cannot guide a cold reader or omits what watches the site and who handles failure. | Read the one document end to end: purpose, trigger, invocation chain, dependencies, reads, writes, closed loop, failure modes, manual run/verify/recovery, source of truth.
