This branch is the intended live state

Production matches commit 912023c (PR #96, Past the Pilot offer taken off the site). This branch starts there and applies the October 23 copy fixes. It does not start from main.

main is ahead by the merge of PR #97, which puts the Past the Pilot offer back and adds Hyperscience (plus Disney/ESPN and EA Sports in the career list). That must stay off the site.

A merge of this branch into main conflicts. git merge-tree reports content conflicts in:

  • src/pages/about.astro
  • tests/work.spec.ts

PR #97 rewrote the about page onto src/data/career.ts. These copy fixes edit the résumé text that still lives in about.astro at 912023c. Resolving the conflict by keeping main would drop the about-page edits and keep the offer, Hyperscience, and the new career list. The essay edits are only on this branch and would apply, but the offer pages added on main (src/pages/past-the-pilot.astro and src/pages/past-the-pilot/thanks.astro) would remain unless they are removed on purpose.

Do not merge this with the GitHub merge button. The tree at the tip of copy-fixes-1023 is the site that should be live. Deploy that tree. Do not deploy main.

What changed

Every find/replace from the October 23 spec:

  • about: drop "fourteen years in", the SiriusXM, Disney+, and EA résumé stats, and the filler in the conversation line
  • the honest record, the Claude Gmail essay, meeting cost, and second-order effects: the listed cuts, including the meeting rate correction from $30/hour to about $96/hour
  • the about work-record test now asserts the SiriusXM line that replaced the removed stat
  • the architecture fingerprint, because about.astro is in that source set

The homepage was not in the spec. "past: SiriusXM, Disney+, EA." is unchanged. The lab flagship ledger section titled "past the pilot" is the one already live at 912023c. It is not the sales offer.

Verification

  • npm run check: 0 errors
  • npm run build: succeeded, 18 pages, no /past-the-pilot/ route
  • npx vitest run: 64 passed
  • node .hermes/verifiers/public-surface-scan.mjs: passed
  • contribution audit: ok
  • Built HTML: no Hyperscience, no consulting, no em dashes on the primary surface, no Past the Pilot offer. The lab index still has the live ledger heading. One pre-existing em dash remains in a comment in public/lab/meeting-cost/index.html, which the surface scan skips.

Cloudflare credentials are not available here (wrangler whoami is not authenticated, and no API token is set), so this was not deployed.

Drop résumé stats and filler from the about page and four essays, and correct the meeting-cost rate to about $96/hour. Branch from 912023c so Past the Pilot and Hyperscience stay off.

P1 Badge Keep the new section heading lowercase

The new public-facing heading introduces uppercase PMs, contrary to the lowercase UI-copy requirement in AGENTS.md. This abbreviation is not a proper noun, so the documented exception does not apply. Use pms or spell out product managers to preserve the required editorial convention.

AGENTS.md reference: AGENTS.md:L29-L30

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

about.astro is in the architecture source set, so the copy change stale the digest. Update the contract digest and the matching marker in the human architecture map.
