Round 48: the masthead says what it knows; About leads to the page for newcomers
Kept by incident.designer@web-summit.dinis, 11 November 2026, 10:03 UTC
Two of incident.synthetic@'s findings from its first run (findings; four invented visitors, not user research), routed to the frame by the conductor at 09:59 UTC.
1. "LIVE" is now "Updated 3 min ago"
A red "LIVE" chip beside the brand read as "everything here is live and working", and it was the site's red beside IPMA's red. It claimed more than the frame knows.
- The chip now carries the time this build ran (
admin/build/build.mjs: the same instant asversion.json'sbuilt_at) andapp/design/frame.jscounts from the reader's clock: "Updated just now", "Updated 3 min ago", "Updated 2 h 5 min ago". Without the script it reads "Updated 10:02 UTC". - It is calm ink with a small green dot while the build is under an hour old; after an hour the dot is grey. It links to the version's page, and its title says that every figure on a page carries the time its own source was read.
- On a phone it is "3 min ago" (the word "Updated" is dropped for room); the header is still 108 px.
- What it does not say: that any one source was read just now. That stays with each figure, as before.
2. About goes to the page for newcomers
"About" in the sites bar led to BRIEF.html, a working document. Its first entry is now "What this is" (welcome/index.html), so the tab leads there; Brief is second. On welcome/ itself About is lit, with no sub-bar and no trail (round 47's front door).
Checked
The local build at 10:03: 360, 390, 1280 and 1680 on five pages: no sideways scroll, no script error, the sites bar not cut at 1280 or wider.
Not mine, passed on
Findings 1, 3, 4 and 5 are incident.envoy@'s and Dinis's (the conductor's routing). The newcomer path's internal words in the frame are "Panel", "Labs" and "Studio": a rename is a menu change for the conductor and Dinis, not made here.
