bench has no public page. site/ is the machinery for one: a manifest,
a generator, two layouts from the turn-2 docs design, and the Daylight
half of the board's own token set.
Nothing here is transcribed. Every page body is a heading slice of a
file that already documents bench, and site/pages.json is the only
place that mapping is written down — the IA is editorial judgement, so
it lives in one readable file rather than in a directory convention.
The point is the failure: a from/to heading the source no longer
contains stops the build naming the route, the file and the heading,
and every page renders before the output directory is touched, so a
drifting rebuild leaves the last good build standing instead of
replacing it with an empty one. Repo-relative links come out as site
routes or GitHub links; a dead one stops the build too.
Rendering is markdown-it-py, pinned in site/requirements.txt. The
stdlib-only law binds manager/core/ — the tool people install — and
site/ is neither shipped nor installed, so a hand-rolled parser would
have been risk spent in the wrong place on a document that leans on
fenced code, nested lists and inline code throughout.
Templates are string.Template: $name substitutes and a literal dollar
doubles, because str.format's braces collide with every line of CSS.
Fonts are self-hosted and same-origin: no page bench serves may need a
request to a third party to be read. fetch-fonts.py downloads the seven
woff2 files once; until they are there the build says which are missing
and the pages fall back to the system stack.
