Source Bodies, Citation Popovers, and the Two Weeks Donto Learned to Show Its Work
104 commits, 29,000 lines, and one unifying obsession: making every fact in the stack point back to the exact sentence it came from. The hidden pattern across t
Five Milestones, Five State Scrapers, and the Week the Knowledge Stack Got a Spine
