This note records two visual and performance changes that are visible in the public site. It is not a trading result and it does not describe how anyone felt about the work.
9 November 2026, 7:45 p.m. Pacific — dark as the default
A lab upgrade went live on the public site at that time. The homepage hero is “AI-driven trading & investment lab. Built in public.” New public routes include Systems, Lab notes, the first implementation note, and the digital-assets research agenda.
Dark is the default theme when no rc-theme preference is saved in the browser. The theme toggle still works. An explicit saved light or dark choice is respected.
Membership stayed off: PUBLIC_MEMBERSHIP_ENABLED remains false. No accounts, payments or application submissions were opened as part of this upgrade.
11 November 2026, 4:55 a.m. Pacific — the loading animation is gone
Josh asked to remove the loading animation. The page-loading screen was deleted. Documents and in-site navigations render immediately, with no overlay. The dark-default pre-paint theme script is unchanged.
That same production also published the expanded glossary and the approved rule one on About. Those are recorded in their own notes.
