Konrad stands under Samuel's hidden red control while Sylvan observes from the clear opposing side.

Development workspace · September 6 workshop pass

Find the cause. Test the choice.

All twenty workshop gates have accepted directions. Their unresolved mechanics remain visible. The active Story Completion gate remains SC-010 Question 7.

Public, read-only development material with full spoilers. Draft answers stay in your browser until exported; they do not update the vault. A spoiler boundary is not privacy protection.

01 · Foundation

The environment creates the bond.

The leaders developed Luminai within an interactive colonization environment. Sylvan tests a more deeply integrated generation after thousands of years of development.

Inspect the controlling premise
02 · Institutional gap

Control must protect people.

Final-years control is established. Stopping authority, cumulative harm, privacy, and remedies still need concrete rules.

Test the leaders' safeguards
03 · Causal result

Autonomy becomes access.

Konrad's Daemon verifies an apparent separation. Konrad authorizes reactivation, which attaches his revived system to Samuel's hidden hierarchy. The false evidence still needs definition.

Inspect the takeover result
04 · Two-planet endgame

George goes where Samuel cannot.

Samuel and the older criminals remain on the previous containment planet. George participates directly on Sylvan's world, then becomes Samuel's intended scapegoat.

Inspect George's role

Story completion · Live from the vault

From architecture to manuscript.

The story advances horizontally: every active problem receives the same level of development before any one branch moves deeper.

Integrated foundation review · September 5, 2026

The environment develops the bond. The outcome tests responsibility.

The leaders created an interactive colonization environment and developed Luminai within it. Konrad tries to prove his experienced daemon superior; Samuel turns his reactivation into access. Sylvan already has decisive control during the final years. Exact safeguards and presentation mechanics remain open.

iainreid.dev

This is the iainreid.dev portfolio.

Deployment target

Namecheap shared hosting with cPanel and LiteSpeed.

Production stack

  • PHP 8.2
  • HTML
  • CSS
  • Vanilla JavaScript

No framework, package manager, build system, bundler, or CDN dependency, and no third-party runtime dependency of any kind. Nothing further should be added unless explicitly requested.

Homepage

The homepage is a single editorial page: a compact header, an immediate introduction, selected work, a short account of how the work gets built, foundations, a note about the maker, and a direct contact close.

It is composed from small partials in includes/partials/, and every fact on it — names, statuses, summaries, links, contact details — is read from includes/portfolio.php. That file stays the only source of truth, so adding a project is still a data edit and no copy is written down twice.

The page requests one stylesheet, one script, and one image.

See docs/ART_DIRECTION.md for the visual system and docs/BUILD_NOTES.md for how the files fit together.

Project Explorer

project-explorer/ is the public, read-only browser for the Seeds of the Throne repository. It discovers every non-hidden Markdown document beneath the deployed repository root, presents the folder structure with native disclosure controls, searches document paths, and renders escaped Markdown.

The request boundary and dependency-free Markdown renderer live in includes/repository-explorer.php. Only paths returned by the safe repository scan can be opened; hidden directories, symlinks, path traversal, and non- Markdown files are excluded. Page-specific styling extends the shared design system from project-explorer/assets/project-explorer.css.

Retro

retro/ is a joke page linked from the homepage footer: MEOWNET BBS, a 1990s dial-up bulletin board about cats. Same stack, no images — every piece of art on it is text. See the Retro section of docs/BUILD_NOTES.md.

Integrated location

This site now lives in the iainreiddotdev/ directory of the Seeds of the Throne repository. The repository root contains a small redirect, while the cPanel deployment copies this application to:

public_html/devsite/iainreiddotdev/index.php

The published repository root redirects to: https://iainreid.dev/devsite/iainreiddotdev/
