The primer, text, manual, and pamphlet shelves each have a renderer-led identity. - -The website should give each shelf a presentation suited to its work instead of extending the book's magazine treatment everywhere. A common frame keeps the shelves recognisably Phi: the site's colour, type, navigation, and accessibility behaviour do not change with the genre. Presentation belongs in the renderer and maintained site assets; the Markdown remains clean unless a necessary distinction cannot be inferred safely. - -Current Phi words and passages set in backticks inside English paragraphs keep the inline treatment established by the book: their type follows the surrounding prose at a slightly smaller proportion, and a quiet raised background makes the change of language visible without interrupting the line. The renderer applies that treatment only when every token is current canonical Phi. Paths, labels, retired forms, and experimental forms remain ordinary code. - -Work proceeds in this order: - -1. **Primer:** Complete. The full shelf is a quiet illustrated reader shaped around the household story, with a restrained motif for each of its four parts. Part and chapter progress remain easy to see without becoming a scoreboard. Phi passages hold the centre of each scene, compact word ledgers and speaker labels support them, and the manual pointer closes as a note. The pronunciation prelude, contents ladder, and capstone keep distinct layouts within the same family. -2. **Texts:** Complete. The translation pages use one anthology design with individual masthead motifs, Tengwar titles, exact interlinear source rows, continuous Phi readings, and translation limits. D079 places the six formerly paired works in this form and removes their comparison ledgers; D080 gives the three Little Prince excerpts the same source-led structure; D081 brings *The Velveteen Rabbit* into it while retaining the story's eighteen-scene map. *The Prophet* collection gives each translated teaching its own page under a shared masthead and selection map. The Ring refusal examines Tolkien's source couplet before Phi answers it. Original Phi work keeps Phi in the leading line and follows it with proposition or vocabulary records. The contents page presents translations, the refusal, and original works while keeping *News from Nowhere* apart as one book. Its own contents page, chapter maps, navigation, and strict source-shape record remain separate from the shorter shelf. -3. **Manual:** Complete. The website opens the manual as a catalogue rather than a loose table of contents. A jump strip moves among Parts I through VII and the closing matter; 23 chapter groups carry 139 numbered readings in the same order as the footer navigation. Each part keeps its established mark. The final cross-read gave every teaching page its proper part and chapter name, replaced the stale repository README and over-detailed outline, and made the build compare that outline with the renderer metadata. Browser checks cover the catalogue and every reading at desktop and phone widths, with dark and print views. -4. **Pamphlets:** Fourteen workbooks complete. *The Three Slots* established the practice-book design from its opening through the appendix. Adverbial clauses, complementizers, coordination, and relative clauses form the clause family, with a bracket-and-join mark suited to clauses that open, close, modify, and meet. Tense and aspect and evidentiality keep that workbook frame without borrowing the same badge merely because both live in Slot 1. Time receives a returning clock beside a focus mark; evidentiality receives the route a claim took beside the eye that met it. Pronouns and topic-drop and nouns and classifiers form the reference-and-noun-phrase family. People and a recoverable absence mark the first; kinds of thing and an ordered branch mark the second. Naming and source material make the boundary pair without becoming the same lesson. A tag meets a person in the Naming mark; a document meets two separate panels in Source Material. Naming opens through its cast and household scenes, then closes with a six-part answer key. Source Material stays compact: five short lessons need no invented subsections, exact artifacts remain ordinary code, answers receive a reasoning form, and the quick reference begins with its table rather than a false introduction. Spoken Punctuation and Tengwar Mode meet at the period, then turn in different directions. Their marks make that fork visible: an audible line sits beside the dot that stays on the page, while a pen faces a reading frame. Spoken Punctuation keeps its named contrasts, dictation scene, six-part exercise, and two-table appendix. Tengwar's seven compact lessons remain unsectioned where the source is unsectioned. Every fenced example puts Tengwar above romanized Phi and its gloss; a translation stays at the foot when the source supplies one. The exercise page recovers its six divisions, and the final page is a numbered copybook of twenty-two lines. Ternary Numerals closes the workbook sequence with an abacus beside an ascending scale. The child's first eight numbers become a cover-and-check grid, while the higher forms become a numbered recital. Worked decompositions sit apart from the running lesson. The market exchange keeps its spoken dash within an interlinear figure; falling back to raw code is now a build failure. Ten answer groups make the long key navigable, and the five-table appendix still works as a quick reference on a 390-pixel phone. The older sources keep their own manners. The complementizer files retain plain page titles and deeper headings, while the evidentiality contents page keeps its colons beside page headings that use parentheses. The renderer accepts that precise punctuation difference and no broader drift. Interlinear glosses receive their own line, wide structural diagrams scroll inside the example that owns them, and consecutive answers that Markdown swallowed into one item regain their individual markers. The strict manifest pins all 154 pamphlet pages and their continued exercise numbering. Every page was loaded at desktop and phone widths, then once without the stylesheet: 462 renderings. The day and night palettes both held, as did print. Direct inspection covered the final opening and both numeral drills. Arithmetic and Market Day received their own checks. So did the error repairs, answer key, and five-table appendix. The shelf catalogue completes the family. It lists fourteen workbooks in the maintained order and places each reading total beside its mark. The layout is a two-column practice desk on wide screens and one column at phone width; without CSS, it remains a plain ordered list. No Markdown source changed anywhere in the visual sequence. - -Each pass begins with one representative page. Browser checks cover desktop, mobile, light, dark, and print behaviour before the treatment reaches the whole shelf. Contents and catalogue pages may need their own layout within the same visual family. - -### Entrance and index pages - -Status: Complete. Kia, the Short Road, and the Phi Book contents page each have their own renderer-led entrance treatment. - -With the shelves styled, attention has moved to the pages that lead into them. Kia stays light and introductory instead of compressing the manual. Its greeting sits inside an open doorway, and the Tengwar hand appears at arrival and farewell. Six brief encounters lead to seven destinations; each door is one large link rather than a small word to aim at. Inline Phi keeps the book's quiet treatment. The renderer checks Kia's expected headings and destinations so a source change cannot silently leave the design behind, while `kia.md` stays untouched. - -The Short Road now keeps walking instead of becoming another catalogue. Its map shows all twelve stops at a glance, then a single waypoint line carries the reader down the page. Thirteen examples have room to read as interlinear figures, inline Phi keeps the established quiet background, and the last invitation appears in Tengwar as well as Romanized Phi. The renderer checks the source structure before it builds. Responsive, print, and stylesheet-free layouts keep the route legible, and `short_road.md` stays untouched. - -The Phi Book contents page completes the sequence as a map of an argument rather than a spare list. Its cover opens beside the Thames, four movements gather chapters 1 through 14, and a boatman at one end answers a door at the other, which is perhaps as much furniture as a contents page ought to need. The bibliography follows as the book's gathered notes. The renderer compares all seventeen links and labels in `book/README.md` with the published files, so a stale contents list now stops the build. The page holds in both site themes, at phone width, in print, and without a stylesheet. Its source Markdown remains untouched. - -### Legacy vocabulary prose audit - -Status: Complete. - -The workflow gives every new or revised entry a separate Humanizer pass and checks it against the [Phi voice guide](../documents/reference/voice_for_models.md). All 1,297 canonical entries now follow the target contract: definitions live in `description`, physical pronunciation in `articulatory_notes`, and usage in structured `examples`. Content entries also carry accurate semantic-domain rationales. Search terms, usage notes, sound symbolism, and direct pillar connections remain optional. - -Articulatory notes follow the word through the mouth and describe breath, contact, release, stress, and hiatus accurately. Sound symbolism has a narrower optional role: it may preserve a genuine Phi-specific association, but it cannot turn a syllable into a hidden morpheme or treat a phoneme's meaning as universal. - -The completed lexicon audit worked in `vocabulary/`, the canonical source, and regenerated every dependent reference. [`documents/validation/vocabulary_prose_coverage.json`](../documents/validation/vocabulary_prose_coverage.json) records 1,297 target entries with no legacy, partial, or dual remainder. The contextual retrofit checked active Phi against that finished vocabulary and is also complete: the literary shelf, the book, all seven manual parts, the primer, all nine pamphlets, and the current documents are current. Later source-fidelity reviews may still reopen a passage for a real semantic, factual, voice, or corpus problem, as the On Giving review did for `parelu` and `thaweno`. - ### Lexical relations between content words Status: Parked until curated navigation would justify maintaining the field. @@ -67,11 +30,11 @@ Revised definitions already cite the nearest Phi neighbour when the distinction A future schema revision may add an optional `lexical_relations` array.
