The hero linked at the Render hostname directly. Pointing it at the project
page keeps the deploy URL out of the README and folds in the "prefer a tour
first?" line, which pointed at the same place.

The README says what the project does; nothing said why any of it works the
way it does. This adds design notes written to be read end to end: each
section states the decision, the reasoning, and what it cost.
docs/GUIDE.md is the readable source. docs/guide.html is the same material as
a self-contained reading page for the project site — no webfonts, no scripts
beyond a progress rail, so it also works saved to disk and opened offline.
Covers the context budget allocator, the propose-and-referee world-state
engine, the measured length-hint result, the memory bank's settled-action and
cursor rules, the two coordinate systems behind the summarization bugs, the
retry variant machinery, the egress fix, and the demo-key pinning. Closes with
the measured numbers, the known limitations, and a pointer to the cleanup
backlog in self-review.md.

The demo sleeps on Render's free tier, so a cold link looks broken to
anyone who won't wait 30-60s. A static page on GitHub Pages is never
asleep: it shows the screenshots immediately and sets the expectation
before the visitor clicks through to the demo.
Served from main:/docs, reusing the screenshots already committed there.
Palette and type match the app so the two read as one product.

The README claimed screenshots were "coming" and stopped describing the
project around phase 10, so the world-state engine, the retry/undo state
revert and the egress work — the most interesting parts — were invisible.
- Screenshots of the play screen, Insights, the schema editor and the
script editor, captured from the running app.
- Document the world-state engine, undo/retry rewind, and the two measured
performance fixes; correct the context assembly order to match
context/builder.py; drop the stale "phases 1-6 complete" note.
- Add CI (backend pytest, frontend lint + build, Docker image build) and
its badge. Nothing ran the 151 tests but me.
- Move CODE_REVIEW_FINDINGS.md to docs/self-review.md and say up front
that every correctness finding is resolved.
- Drop a dead import that the newly-wired lint flagged.

- When a model streams reasoning but no story text, return a specific,
actionable error (raise Max output tokens / set a reasoning cap / use a
non-reasoning model) instead of the opaque "empty response".
- Bump default max_output_tokens 400 -> 800: 400 truncated scenes and
left reasoning models with no room after thinking. Affects new settings
rows; existing users keep their value.
- README: add a "Try it live" link to the Render deployment.

Guest-first multi-user mode behind AIDND_MULTI_USER (local installs
unchanged): signed-cookie guest sessions bootstrapped by /api/auth/me,
register upgrades the guest in place, login/logout, per-IP rate limits.
Every router scoped by user_id; Settings become per-user with the API
key Fernet-encrypted at rest and write-only through the API. Users
without a key get a server-funded demo key (OpenRouter free models,
20 turns/day, memory bank disabled on demo turns). Public read-only
demo scenarios (seed_demo.py); debug log restricted to local mode.
Frontend: auth modal + guest nudge, 401 re-establish/retry, demo
banner and key management in Settings.
Migrations 13-23 adopt existing data under a local user and encrypt
stored keys. Verified: migration on a copy of real data.db, two-session
isolation + register/login via curl and Chrome, demo cap 429, live
OpenRouter turn through the encrypted-key path, vite build + oxlint.

- LICENSE: MIT
- README: rewritten as portfolio-grade docs (features with code pointers,
architecture, Docker/Windows/macOS quick starts, BYO-model table)
- Dockerfile (3-stage: SPA build, pip wheels, slim runtime) + compose with
a /data volume; .dockerignore keeps secrets and local data out
- database.py: AIDND_DB_PATH env override so deployments can relocate the
SQLite file; documented in backend/.env.example
- start.sh: macOS/Linux dev script with first-run setup
Verified locally: production SPA build served by the backend (deep links
OK), DB created at the override path. Docker image itself untested here
(Docker not installed); flagged in plan/07.
