Closing Ledger

Dark Versailles colophon

Release colophon

The credits behave like a receipt: terse, bruised, final, and unembarrassed about process.

A torn receipt and metallic edge rendered as a harsh posterized black-and-white plate. — Receipt Blade object Every receipt becomes a weapon once it is copied enough times.

A bowl or glass vessel on a table, treated into powdery halftone and heavy black edges. — Ash Vessel

Built in Astro, Tailwind, MDX, and TypeScript. `pretext` only where line breaks are part of the art direction: headlines, decks, pull quotes, impositions, and the fixed-height cards that need to hold their ground.

Source assumption: a folder export from macOS Photos. Public rule: self and objects only. Any derivative that drifts too far from the archive may stay in the working set, but it does not enter the public issue unless it still answers to the manifest.

Output rule: one linear issue spine, then two exports from the same order. The web edition keeps the theatrical pacing. The EPUB edition keeps the sequence, captions, and fragments without pretending to be a browser.

Deployment target: Cloudflare Pages. No runtime required. No decorative client shell. The pages should arrive like a packet of copied matter that somehow survived the trip without softening.
