Gives studios — the thickest technical entry in the ledger and the least visible thing on the site — something to show, and a way in.

Why not a gallery

The plan was an outputs gallery. A grid of generated images proves nothing a subscription cannot buy, and next to /hire it reads as slop. What is not buyable is the factory: self-hosted models on one GPU, a machine gate, an agent that looks at the thumbnail and rules on it, a verdict that lands in SQLite.

So the page publishes the record, not the picture. One real job laid open — four candidates, two approved, two rejected — with the model, asset id, seed, gate metrics and verdicts exactly as the studio wrote them. The two rejects ship with their reasons; a pipeline that only shows its hits is a gallery.

Every image is the review thumbnail the agent was actually handed. That is also the only artifact the MCP layer delivers to this machine — the studio server runs on the laptop, so full-resolution assets, GLB and MP4 never reach this repo. That constraint capped the walk at one modality, and the page says plainly that it opens one of five axes.

The closing section is the strongest claim on it: the blog covers a reader has been looking at all along came from the same image-studio, the same krea2 model, the same verify_asset call. Sourced in docs/media/hero-generation-report.md, gated by src/lib/hero-palette.ts.

The second commit

/studio shipped with only the sitemap as a way in. PROJECT_SHOWCASE routes /projects/studios to it, and hasIndexablePage now counts a showcase link the same way it counts a screenshot or a demo — "nowhere to go" stops being true when the page carries a link to a substantial page of its own. /projects/studios is back in the sitemap on the merits, not by exemption.

Boundaries held

  • Nothing reads the studio library — no feed, no path import, no list_*. Assets are hand-picked files under public/.
  • No generated image in Project.screenshot; the type comment forbids it and the page labels its art as generated.
  • The Private rule still withholds the studios repo URL — verified on the rendered page.
  • Not added to the nav: seven entries already forced the mdlg breakpoint fix.

Verification

Type-check, lint, 169 tests, production build. Both locales 200, hreflang ko/en/x-default, /studio + /en/studio + /projects/studios in the sitemap, three.js absent from the page payload. New assertions mutation-tested — seven mutations, each turning a distinct assertion red.

Not verified: narrow viewport, visually. Window resize did not reach the viewport; the grids use the same sm: breakpoints as /hire.

The `studios` monorepo carries the thickest technical description in the
whole ledger and is invisible on the site: not featured, private so no repo
link, no website, no screenshot. hasIndexablePage() therefore returns false
and the thin-page filter drops it from the sitemap. The filter is right; the
entry is all telling and no showing.

This gives it something to show — but deliberately not a grid of generated
images. In 2026 a wall of AI art proves nothing a subscription cannot buy,
and reads as slop on a page adjacent to "hire me". What is not buyable is the
factory: self-hosted models on one GPU, a machine gate, an agent that looks
at the thumbnail and rules on it, and a verdict that lands in a database.

So the page publishes the record rather than the picture. One real job laid
open: four candidates, two approved, two rejected, with the model, asset id,
seed, gate metrics and verdicts exactly as the studio wrote them. The two
rejects ship with their reasons — a pipeline that only shows its hits is a
gallery, not a pipeline.

Every image is the review thumbnail the agent was actually handed, which is
also the only thing the MCP layer hands back: the studio server runs on the
other machine, so full-resolution assets never reach this repo. That
constraint is what capped the walk at one modality; 3D and video both hit the
1800s idle timeout and their artifacts live on the laptop. The page says
plainly that it opens one of five axes.

The "already has a job" section closes it: the blog covers a reader has been
looking at all along came from the same image-studio, the same krea2 model
and the same verify_asset call (docs/media/hero-generation-report.md).

Assets are hand-picked files committed under public/. Nothing here reads the
studio library — no feed, no path import, no list_* call — because that
library is private and a single automated pull would publish it.

Not in the nav: it is already seven wide, and an eighth entry would undo last
week's breakpoint fix. Discovery is the sitemap plus links from the project
entry.

/studio shipped with only one way in — the sitemap. The spec named three
routes and built one, which leaves the page orphaned inside the site: a
reader on /projects/studios, the one place someone goes looking for this
work, had nowhere to go.

PROJECT_SHOWCASE sits beside APP_CATEGORY for the same reason that map does:
a slug conditional inlined in a page gets copied to the next call site and
then the two disagree. The link renders first in the action row because for a
private project with no website it is the only link on the page.

It also un-thins the entry. hasIndexablePage exists to keep pages that are "a
name, two lines of description and some tech chips — no image, nowhere to go"
out of the sitemap, and `studios` was the clearest case: private, so the
Private rule withholds its repo URL, and no public surface of any kind. That
description stops being true once the page carries a link to a substantial
page of its own, so the filter now counts a showcase the same way it counts a
screenshot or a demo. /projects/studios is back in the sitemap on the merits
rather than by exemption.

The bare test fixture gained a slug chosen to have no showcase entry — with a
real one it would satisfy the filter and every negative case would pass for
the wrong reason. Verified by mutation: dropping the showcase clause,
pointing it at a slug that does not exist, and swapping the fixture's slug
each turn a distinct assertion red.
