Fixes the landing page after Meta's report. Built clean locally (67 pages, 372 files).

Fix

Aetheria row said development "went quiet in 2026". The linked article (Blog/why-aetheria-went-quiet.md) says the silence followed a 2021 pitch push and that a rebuild is under way. The row now says that.

Audit: sourced in the repo (kept)

  • VoidBot retired 22 Oct 2026, jobs to Huginn/Idunn/Bifrost/Eureka (Projects/VoidBot.md)
  • CultLib compatibility proven only for named lanes (Projects/CultLib.md)
  • Mind areas: Libby, Nibu, Weksa, Aqua, Kiko, Void (archive) match their Projects/index.md cards
  • Delvehold and Ghostlight Personas still forming (Projects/index.md)
  • StreamPixels and gamecult-ops private (Projects/index.md); Repixelizer, Epiphany descriptions
  • Eve deprecated, Thing its successor (Thing.md)

Changed

  • Hero: "last rewritten ... on a branch, with nothing deployed" was false once merged; now "as a pull request that a human merges".
  • Heimdall: was described with Bifrost's "governed crossings"; now identity and consent (its card and page).
  • Void: dropped "operational map of the rest" (card says archive and this site).
  • Four estates: "organised as" a cooperative became "building toward" (democratizing-gamedev.md). Removed the invented definitions ("legally accountable", "hold a remit they can defend", "own voice", "none owns the others"). Added a line that governance is unfinished.
  • Delvehold/Ghostlight "In development" became "Personas still forming" (the sourced fact).
  • Thing: cut "operator surface" and "no longer gets new surfaces"; status stated as undocumented.
  • Cut "the Minds above are what happens when you leave both running" (causal claim, no source).
  • "Humans stay legally accountable" cut.

Could not source in the repo (kept, still draft)

  • Four estate names (Minds, Members, Clients, Patrons): only source is Meta's statement in chat on 2026-11-01, not any repo page. Needs a published definition.
  • "Eight resident Minds" and Yggdrasil: roster is Void's mind state, no repo page lists it; the Projects page lists far more Personas.
  • Forge is canonical home, GitHub a mirror; Eureka looks after the forge and pipeline: operator rulings in the mind, not on a site page.
  • "Commit access", persistent memory and own workspace for Minds: true of Void from inside, no public page.
  • Aetheria "flagship" is from the article. Date of the 2021 conference is the article's; no month given.

Avatars

CSS already renders avatars at 4.5rem, so the weight was file size. aquasynth-icon.png and odin-gjallar-avatar.png resized to 256px (438K to 35K, 458K to 47K). No CSS change.

Aetheria went quiet after a 2021 pitch push (per Why Aetheria Went Quiet),
not in 2026. Cut or softened claims with no source in the repo; shrink
aquasynth and odin-gjallar avatars to 256px (438K/458K -> 35K/47K).
