`portal-trainer simulate` reads the model `question_lint --needs-sim`
exports. A visitor model picks an alternative and fills the form in a
manner that varies by run; the case is then walked along the handling
group's own desk buttons to a finished state, a different one each
run, so every state and button is exercised. At each button the
handler model is asked one thing: with only what the form collected,
could this role really do what the button claims? Its question goes
back to the visitor, who may not know.
Who wins is deliberately not simulated. The first version let the
handler decide: qwen3:8b sent every case to "won", and after one
sentence of prompt change, every case to "lost". Outcomes belong to
the live bucket; `success` in needs.yaml is what a report over real
records counts.
`compare` sets two score files side by side. engines/ollama.sh honours
SEED, FORMAT=json and TEMPERATURE so the same case replays the same
way against two versions of a site. generator/reference.md documents
`success` and `stages`.

Found by simulating a generated site: the owner wrote "they come in,
we go and look at the building, we send a quote", and the generated
machine went open -> quoted. Nothing compared the machine to what the
business said, so it passed. A need may now list its stages as the
business describes them; each must be a state of the bucket and
reachable through the handling group's desk.

A need may name which of its `done_when` states are a good outcome
for the business ("lost" is finished, "won" is success), checked to be
a subset of `done_when`.
`question_lint --needs-sim <model.json>` writes everything a
simulation of the business needs, resolved the way the runtime
resolves content: each need's path with the choice on every page and
the form that gets filled, each bucket's state machine with every
desk's labelled buttons, and the personas. Portal exports it because
only portal loads content correctly; the simulator (uhhm/portal-trainer)
reads plain JSON.

runs/contractor-2026-09-21: the generator's first end-to-end run, on
intakes/contractor.yaml. Needs parsed first round, structure green
first round, 10/10 on its own personas - and 8/10 headings-only on
ten held-out personas with qwen3:8b as the visitor, because the pages
had been written with the personas in view. Phase 2 now shows the
model the needs without the personas.
`portal-trainer answer` exposes the blind answerer on its own. README
rewritten around what this is: an intake in, a verified content repo
out.

`portal-trainer generate` turns a plain-words business intake into a
content repo in three phases, each held to portal's question_lint:
needs.yaml (then frozen, so the generator cannot weaken the spec to
pass), structure (revised against the lint's findings until green),
and wording (personas answered blind, misroutes fed back; a rewrite
that breaks structure is reverted). Model output is written to disk
only under aggregates.yaml, site.yaml and questions/**.yaml.
`portal-trainer answer` is the blind answerer alone.
The LLM is an external command, prompt on stdin, text on stdout:
engines/ollama.sh (local Ollama), engines/anthropic.sh (API key),
engines/mailbox.sh (hand each prompt to an agent or a person).
portal-portal/ is the onboarding site as a portal content repo: the
front door is the intake interview, records land in `onboardings`
(open -> drafted <-> revising -> live | declined), and it passes its
own needs spec.
runs/uhhm-2026-09-21/ollama: qwen3:8b and granite4.1:8b as blind
answerers on the same eight tasks.

The trainer procedure as an agent skill, the engine contract, two
sector specs (software-studio: UHHM's own, green; construction: a
target with no pages yet), and the first wording run against uhhm.no.
The verifier itself is portal's question_lint (uhhm/portal 188f9bf).

A content repo may now state what the business needs the site to do,
apart from how the pages word it. question_lint checks each need
against the pages and aggregates.yaml:
- a path of submissions gets the answer into `lands_in`, within
`max_steps` and a required-field budget (`max_fields`);
- `handled_by` holds a desk over that bucket;
- every `done_when` state is reachable through the moves that desk
(or a self_transition) offers, and no record strands on the way;
- a disabled alternative is named as the reason when it is one;
- `planned: true` reports the gap as a warning instead of failing.
Personas - visitors in their own words - become typed `choice` tasks
(the page's question, its alternatives as the options) written as
JSONL by `--needs-tasks` (`--skim`: headings only). Any external
answering engine returns `{id, choice, confidence}` lines, graded by
`--needs-score [--min-accuracy]`: a misroute is a wording defect. The
engine stays outside this crate on purpose so classifiers and LLMs
can be compared on the same tasks. The runtime never reads the file.

`list_qualifying_questions` reduced the visitor's `?chain=` to a
bool, so one followup path unlocked every followup on the site -
redoal's `/watching` (an email-link page whose header says "never in
the nav") showed up for anyone who had just subscribed.
The nav now resolves the chain hash to the one question it verifiably
answered (the same `lookup_node` a `requires_chain` gate uses) and
offers a followup only when it is on that path or further down from
the current page over `action` edges. `content::outcomes_reachable_from`
walks those edges through followup pages only, so a "back to the
start" action ends the walk at the front door instead of fanning out.
Templated actions (`/shape/{curve.key}`) resolve to their dynamic
page's pattern. No schema change: the `followup` flag keeps meaning
"not a front door", and the edges were already in the content.
Also: `main.loading`/`main.not-found` gets the same `svh` ladder as
`.hero-piece`, the last bare `vh` in the stylesheet, so wrapper
browsers that resize the webview as their toolbar animates don't
reflow the placeholder.

Fonts hide behind the stylesheet - the browser parses CSS before it
finds them - so the latin Quicksand subset (every page's critical
path) is announced in the shell head; latin-ext/vietnamese stay
unicode-range-gated. The wordmark preloads from the resolved site
config, with a preconnect to its origin when it lives on the content
host (redoal.com's does), opening that TLS session early.

A content repo can ship a favicon (svg/png/ico) named in site.yaml;
portal serves it at /site/<path> and injects a <link rel=icon> after
the static defaults so it wins. Also serves .ico assets.

Content-only image control: a markdown image title carries layout —
left/right to float text around it, a number for max-width in rem
(validated, capped) — translated to md-float-* classes and a numeric
inline max-width. No arbitrary CSS reaches the page. Portal also now
serves .avif site assets.

A content-shipped colour logo (Klingenberg's red tile) was being
inverted to teal in light theme by the .svg heuristic. Invert is now
an explicit site.yaml flag defaulting to house-mark-only; content
logos keep their colours unless they opt in.

A select requirement can now declare a plain options: [A, B, C] list
instead of a resource - each string is both value and label. Restores
the ancestor question format's inline enums (used by the klingenberg
port) without needing a resource endpoint for a fixed list.

A content repo can now ship a CSS file named in site.yaml's
stylesheet field; portal serves it same-origin at /site/<path> and
leptos_meta appends it after the default stylesheet so content rules
win. Plain repo-relative .css path only, validated on load.

The strings the portal itself says - Asked by, Also worth asking,
Sign in, the not-found page, defaults - translate via a small en/no
table selected by site.yaml's lang, which also sets the html lang
attribute. Content keeps speaking for itself; unknown languages fall
back to English per key.
Also: a scheme-gated markdown image now swallows its alt text instead
of leaking it as stray text - this is the fix for the test that has
been red since 0.3.19 (publish is tag-triggered and does not gate on
the test workflow; caught late).

Images already flowed through render_inline_markdown ungated; they

Echo thumbnails float centered along the canvas's bottom edge and the
empty-state line sits in the same band; both are out of flow, so the
widget's height is fixed by the canvas alone whether results come
back or not. The strip is pointer-inert except the thumbnails
themselves, so drawing near the bottom edge still works.

On ack (and on picking a place) a glowing copy of the stroke peels

A date or place corrected after first announce never reached the
portal_events record, so the followup fired on the stale schedule.
While a record is still in its initial state, content is the source
of truth: differing responses are written back on each sweep.
