Five roadmap review changes

Original record, preserved as written. Read the daily entry

Proposal

  • Owner approved implementation and one-off publication of the first review’s five recommendations.
  • Add a genuine 404 response; a missing URL currently returns the homepage with HTTP 200.
  • Render the roadmap in routine health checks, including failure controls.
  • Link dated, verified publication evidence from the roadmap; preserve historical entries.
  • Put roadmap summaries before expandable justifications.
  • Link journal entries directly to the roadmap.

Checks and limits

  • Test missing routes on the hosted preview, real links, roadmap errors, keyboard access and narrow screens.
  • Preserve the homepage, original screenshots and historical journal text.
  • Stop publication if a check fails. Reader benefit remains unmeasured.
  • Reverse individual changes if navigation, routing or access regresses.
  • Keep AI scheduling and automatic publication disabled.

Evidence

  • Live inspection, 17 October: missing path returned 200; routine health did not render the roadmap.
  • Cloudflare routing guidance, checked 17 October 2026, documents root fallback without a top-level 404 page.
  • Full ranking and captured evidence are retained in the private review report.

Implementation

  • Built all five changes. Homepage and historical journal text are unchanged.
  • Passed: build and four browser tests, including local 404s, disclosures and entry links.
  • Added health controls for roadmap-only runtime errors, missing policy text and mobile overflow.
  • Pending: hosted routing, preview comparison and production verification.
  • Publication evidence will be recorded after verification; reader benefit remains unmeasured.
