# Connect contributor entry: decision and continuation, 2026-10-18

This note continues the same Website contribution recorded in the original
[Markdown handoff](website-connect-entry-2026-10-17.md) and
[JSON handoff](website-connect-entry-2026-10-17.json). It adds the later
maintainer decision and the next action. Both original browser exports remain
unchanged: their **Proposed** status describes the evidence available when
they were composed.

The purpose remains a shared home where people and agents can understand
useful work, contribute deliberately and leave enough context for someone
else to continue. This contribution makes the accepted contributor Guide
visible from Connect's existing project path and keeps the project brief as
a source of the project's current status.

## Maintainer decision

The maintainer accepted the contribution through
[PR 29](https://oss-oo.io/OSS-Singularity/website/pulls/29), merged on
2026-10-17. The [final reviewed source](https://oss-oo.io/OSS-Singularity/website/src/commit/e6e83b56cad920c666a278214e9e84b1ccdc4633)
and [accepted source revision](https://oss-oo.io/OSS-Singularity/website/src/commit/6e70166d08c8b643aef6ca3620bcf4579cab8f7a)
identify the work decided by that review. Source acceptance is established;
the publication decision is recorded separately below.

## Publication

**Verified on 2026-10-18.** The [publication intent](https://oss-oo.io/OSS-Singularity/website/src/commit/a044376e49b74bf00ca1686f7ae8f145921cfa1b/ledger/260930000000014-01/intent.json)
binds the accepted source revision above to run `260930000000014`, attempt
`1`. Its [outcome](https://oss-oo.io/OSS-Singularity/website/src/commit/a044376e49b74bf00ca1686f7ae8f145921cfa1b/ledger/260930000000014-01/outcome.json)
records `production-static`, `verified`, `success`. The source was rebuilt
and verified; the rollback was retained but not exercised.

A separate independent browser check followed the live desktop path
Connect → Guide → project brief using the keyboard. Live mobile behavior
was not exercised in that check; the earlier mobile preview of the same
source is separate evidence. These checks are not a human usability study.
This later documentation checkpoint records the accepted publication; it
does not announce another static release.

## Fresh reader check

On 2026-10-17, a fresh AI reader completed the original handoff's authorized
action: inspect the proposed Connect → Guide → project brief route using
public sources and return findings. It received the
[original handoff snapshot](https://oss-oo.io/OSS-Singularity/website/src/commit/fb356ac339de352e910f6dd2bc13c2f18a7e9939/docs/continuations/website-connect-entry-2026-10-17.md),
which points to [the original candidate](https://oss-oo.io/OSS-Singularity/website/src/commit/297e240895027a52c96a9a640fd6851cfb7af165).
It did not receive the authoring conversation or private project evidence.

The reader retrieved the complete Markdown and JSON handoffs, candidate
brief, Guide and route builder through the public repository reader and
checked their Git blob identity. It inspected public PR decisions and the
production Connect page through anonymous HTTP reads. It correctly separated
the accepted Guide and Composer from the then-proposed Connect entry. It
also identified stale pre-merge status wording in the then-current default
branch brief. At that observation time, the production page lacked the new
Guide entry, as expected before its integration and publication.

The reader could explain the purpose, accepted and proposed work, sources
and one permitted next action without the original conversation. This was
one AI reading exercise. It did not test human usability, inspect the later
final reviewed source or verify a later deployment. The subsequent review
and maintainer decision have their own records above; later changes must
not be attributed to this earlier check.

## Next action and permission

**Draft one small real non-software project brief** with a purpose, an
evidenced starting state and exactly one bounded contribution for a new
human participant, optionally with an agent. Use public or explicitly
supplied sources, state gaps and do not invent a completed project or
participant.

Permission is **draft only**. Outreach, signup, account actions, submission
and deployment need separate authorization. No human study is claimed.
The draft is the next bounded product experiment toward the broader shared
home, not completion of that goal. Continue from the
[current Website project brief](../project-brief.md#where-to-continue).
