The twin is the page
Short summary
The author consolidated ten hand-written HTML pages to render their prose from a single markdown source at request time, eliminating dual-editing drift. A parity gate caught six real divergences before retirement, replaced by a stricter mutation-tested check that prevents orphaned prose or missing sections. A rendering harness diffed outputs before and after conversion, catching one bug where markdown URL rules turned inert text into a live link.
- •Ten card-style pages now render from a single markdown twin instead of duplicated HTML
- •Replaced parity checker with mutation-tested deploy gate that validates prose provenance
- •Rendering harness caught a bug where markdown URL rules turned inert text into a live link
