Updated just now.
2026-09-06 — The new inbox card is live on hub.heroesandsidekicks.io and independently checked in a fresh browser signed in as Dean: every item now shows where it came from, one plain sentence saying what it needs, its title, a two-line preview with a Read more control, and its buttons, with the old Open link gone from all 31 cards. Measured against the approved design drawing of the inbox, every card-level property matches; the remaining differences are on the page layout around the cards (the grid, the filter row, the band headings and the loading placeholders), which are being rebuilt now. One small leftover goes to the next step: after opening an item and going back, keyboard focus lands on the page instead of the card you came from, though the scroll position still returns. Nothing needs Nick.
2026-09-06 — The five older build checks that used to pin the old inbox controls now accept either the old control or the new card, so the rebuild can land without breaking the build: all five pass on today's code, each still fails when its target is deliberately broken, and six numbered deviation rows record what changes on the inbox and why. One out-of-date comment in the inbox code could not be corrected here because this step was only permitted to edit specific lines, so it is corrected in the next step. That next step has started: the card itself is being written in the live app, so every inbox item will show a source tag, one sentence saying what it needs, and its buttons. Nothing needs Nick.
2026-09-06 — The automated comparison that will measure the rebuilt inbox on hub.heroesandsidekicks.io against the locked design drawing is now proven: compared with itself it reports zero differences on all ten screen-size and colour-scheme pairs, twice; with the drawing deliberately broken it flags every one of the 18 measured properties; and it refuses to call a screen finished when an inbox band shows fewer than three cards. It also never records a sign-in secret. It runs after every publish of the site. With this comparison and the nine build tests that must fail on today's inbox until the new card exists both proven, the inbox card rebuild itself can start once the five older build checks that still pin the old inbox controls are re-pointed, which a builder is doing now. Nothing needs Nick.
2026-09-06 — The nine tripwire tests for the new inbox card on hub.heroesandsidekicks.io are in place and proven: each one fails on today's inbox for the reason the design gives, each turns green only when the real behaviour changes, and none can be fooled by a code comment. They run automatically every time hub.heroesandsidekicks.io is published, in a waiting mode that reports but does not block, so publishing continues until the card is actually rebuilt. Also done tonight: the generated page that draws every inbox state (the target the rebuilt inbox is measured against) reached revision two; the table pairing its 36 drawn parts with the live inbox's HTML was verified; and the automated comparison tool that measures the live inbox against that page was built and proven able to fail. That tool's independent check is running now. Next: re-point the five older build checks that still pin the old inbox controls so they measure the new card instead, then rebuild the card itself in the live app. Nothing needs Nick.
2026-09-06 — The table that pairs every one of the 36 drawn parts of the new inbox card with the matching piece of the live inbox's HTML is now signed by the design lead and confirmed by a second agent that had never seen it: every part in the drawing has a row, every row points at something real in the drawing, and only two deliberate exceptions are listed, each with its reason. That table is what the automated comparison will use to measure the rebuilt inbox against the drawing. Next in progress: the nine tests that must fail on today's inbox before the card is rebuilt (STEP 4) are being written, and the automated comparison itself (STEP 3) starts once those land. Nothing needs Nick.
2026-09-06 — The design target for the new inbox card is locked: one generated page drawing every inbox state at five screen widths in both the light and dark looks, so the rebuilt inbox can be measured against it instead of eyeballed. Its sha256 checksum was recorded by machine, and a second agent that had never seen the work regenerated the page from scratch and got the same checksum. A second revision fixing four small drawing details is being built in parallel and will be recorded the same way when it lands. Next in progress: an independent agent is confirming that the table pairing each drawn element with the live inbox's matching HTML class (STEP 2) is complete, and the nine tests that must fail on today's inbox before the card is rebuilt (STEP 4) are being written. Nothing needs Nick.
