What shipped

OS knowledge taxonomy — four types (Trap / Known / Standing Decision / Principle) with distinct homes and tests

HOW_TO_WORK_WITH_ZEB.md — new §How decisions get made with Anvil Check as operating posture

ignition.md §ORIENTATION — pointer to Anvil Check, correctly positioned as posture not rule

Homepage — headline updated: Three products. Two experiments. Two engines.

Homepage — platform section headline promoted: A new vertical is a config file, not a new codebase.

Homepage — compounding mechanism made concrete for prospects: client 3 costs less than client 1

Homepage — diagram label updated: 3 products · 2 experiments

About page — Built different sidebar expanded to all 5 products (Leashline + ForgeHome added)

About page — AI philosophy examples: The instructor replaced with The household manager (Courtney/ForgeHome)

About page — Forge Loop subhead: now explicitly points prospects at steps 5+6 as the compounding mechanism

A principle encoded as a rule deadens it. You start ticking it instead of feeling it.
