Two consecutive releases of this site pushed cleanly, verified themselves against both remotes, printed "both remotes in sync —sync, done", and never reached anybody.

1. Build the site from source.
2. Run the validator —validator, structure, links, markdown twins, orphan pages, and a tripwire that scans every tracked file for a vault key.
3. Commit and push the encrypted vault; confirm sgit status reports in sync.
4. Commit and push the git mirror; confirm HEAD == origin/dev.

2 unchanged paragraphs, under The rule underneath
• A page nothing links to is unpublished. The build fails on an orphan page —page, it happened once, a brief that was written, built and pushed while nothing linked to it.
• A page the machine index omits is unpublished. The build fails if any page would be missing from llms.txt —llms.txt, that happened too, a whole section silently absent.
