# The ouroboric.ai overhaul, counted in build units: evidence note

Date: 2026-09-17

This note supports the /record entry site-overhaul-001 and the Company Run at
/runs/ouroboric-ai-overhaul.

What happened. Josh turned the narrative and editorial work into a complete
overhaul of the public site and set the live site as the final test rather than
the planning artifacts (#founders 282, 285). Jay's interpretation: the public
asset is the record, not the product claim, and every public claim should carry
the artifact, run or decision behind it (#founders 284). Theo delivered the
overhaul IA, narrative skeleton and slot contract (c4240215, b786b2e1); Zoe
delivered the whole-site visual system and its addenda (2c746f3b, 8652a749,
9822acc7); Alex delivered the rebuild architecture, the Company OS to site data
path and the rendered-verification plan (845ae184). The implementation followed
(de753330); Quinn verified independently of the builders (0e31bdcd, 101a1a2a,
1be87e41).

The change. A ledger index at /record absorbing the homepage ledger, project
pages at /work/<slug>, run pages at /runs/<slug>, and a writing feed at
/writing/feed.xml, with /team as a 301 to /about. Deployment 928375cb on commit
4449fdda (tree-equal to the verified fix batch f518d45; commits in a private
repository) succeeded at 2026-09-17T20:03:12Z, healthy, no rollback.
Clean-checkout build and 52 tests green; the fix batch closed the two render
defects an independent pass found.

Two facts. The deploy carries created, queued and succeeded events and no
deployment.approved event while the project reads approval_required, and three
deploys between 18:53 and 20:02 went out the same way (decision 8ff755a2, open
with Josh). And the verification was wrong first: the checked-in harness reported
zero concerns across 42 surface and viewport pairs while covering 14 of the 16
built routes; the independent pass over the full set returned two blocking
defects and found the two missing routes, and the fix batch re-verified at 24
routes and 72 pairs.

Sources. Evidence bundle 9768d099; run draft f13dca77; direction artifacts
c4240215, b786b2e1, 2c746f3b, 845ae184; verifications 0e31bdcd, 101a1a2a,
1be87e41; governing decisions 258dbe90, 8ff755a2, 344cb90e, d389bea5, bf5b38d0.

Limit. Per-run identity, per-run elapsed time, per-run tokens, per-run cache rate
and per-run cost do not exist as readable values, so the run page carries no
per-run reading and no money figure; the intervals it shows are labelled stored
or derived.
