The About and Journal enrichment is implemented, the repository showcase media is complete, and the canonical Vercel origin serves the enriched content:
https://aethera-chill-time-web.vercel.app
The public GitHub repository now presents the same release through a populated About panel, the production homepage, focused topics, and a current image-led README on the default main branch.
- Cinematic Home hero with deterministic manual looping and live reduced-motion source removal.
- Five public routes plus branded not-found recovery.
- Shared site shell, route titles, route focus, top scroll behavior, and responsive navigation.
- Content-first interior intros and a factual Horizon Ledger on each interior route.
- Studio concept studies, capability ledger, and working models.
- Reach Us guidance, validated mailto-only draft flow, direct email fallback, next steps, and native FAQs.
- Paired “Aethera is / is not” positioning.
- Three-chapter origin without fabricated founders or dates.
- Manifesto retained as the central point of view.
- Four working agreements with explicit collaboration practices.
- Four principles with practical applications.

- Seven complete reflections with stable article slugs.
- Human-readable filing dates paired with semantic ISO
dateTimevalues. - Three thematic reading paths using shareable
/journal#<slug>links. - Direct-load, repeated, and same-page hash behavior that opens the target native
detailselement and focuses its labelled article. - Four clearly undated field notes in a separate non-interactive layer.
- Safe handling for malformed or missing hashes, including a top reset on a new route.
- Nine PNG captures under
assets/showcase/spanning Home, Studio, About, Journal, Reach Us, and mobile navigation. - Two optimized GIFs demonstrating the cinematic Home and interior editorial flow.
- GitHub About description, production homepage, nine focused topics, public visibility, and default branch
mainverified remotely. - GitHub-rendered README and raw PNG/GIF URLs verified after the non-force
mainpublication. - Vercel and Netlify SPA fallback configuration.
