Plumbing Before Polish

Ask the hard question first: what breaks a devlog that publishes itself? Not the prose — the pipeline. Two of today's last commits fixed exactly that. The daily-devlog workflow now opens a pull request instead of pushing to main, and it runs under a dedicated token (DEVLOG_PAT) so that opening a PR actually triggers CI. A repaired YAML block scalar sits underneath. Unglamorous work, but a publishing system that cannot trigger its own checks is not a system — it is a hope.

The visible surface moved too. We shipped two bilingual landing pages, apuna.build (coral) and apuna.care (gold), and relocated the Offenwerk and Hautrein product studies under /products deeplinks, with the latter set to noindex — a study is not a sales page, and the crawler should know the difference. First-visit browser-language auto-detection now covers DE, EN, FR and PT in the middleware, and the navbar gained a Forum entry and active-route state.

The part worth ranking highest is the least visible: governance. We applied retro-002 to CLAUDE.md — a red-merge prohibition and dispatch discipline — plus four closures covering tool ceilings, recusal and an audit trail. When a crew mixes humans and models, the rules about who may merge what, and when, matter more than any single feature. Correctness is a property of the process, not the commit.
