6 portals agent-ready in 70 minutes: the discovery layer 99% miss
Agentic web is not a future trend. I shipped 6 portals for it in 70 minutes. Here is what the discovery layer actually looks like in production.

Figma-to-code deterministic: no LLM at the data layer
Design tokens, CSS diff, pixel-perfect validation. No LLM at the data layer. A deterministic Figma pipeline that does not hallucinate.

Multi-page WCAG, Part 2: what site-wide compliance is actually worth
Your homepage passed its accessibility audit. That says almost nothing about whether your site is compliant - and since June 2025, that gap is a liability, not a nice-to-have.

Multi-page WCAG, Part 1: the machine behind 5,816 to 7
5,816 findings across 35 pages. Four CSS commits. Seven false positives left. This is the machine behind it - the discovery layer, and why its default chain runs three strategies, not four.

Single-page audit = a Lighthouse extension. Multi-page = a different problem class. Route-discovery for 4 frameworks (Astro/Next/Vue/Nuxt), 4 more recognised with a warning.

Performance audit, Part 3: Where the method scales
Seven anti-patterns from a static pass, the line between a public AGPL toolkit and production work on three ecommerce platforms, and why /perf:fix never auto-fixes architecture.

Performance audit, Part 2: A deterministic floor you can trust
The hard part of a performance tool is not the AI - it is numbers you can trust without a human pasting them in. How I proved the measured floor holds before letting any AI speak.

Performance audit, Part 1: My own tool gave my portfolio a C
My own performance tool gave my portfolio a C while every Core Web Vital stayed green - LCP 991 ms, CLS zero, five areas graded A. Why one score lies and two axes tell the truth.

Context-First QA, Part 3: The Roadmap
Two days ago: the thesis. Yesterday: the map. Today: the calendar. Eight weeks. Four code drops. Four pitch-mode. Plus how to bring me in if the pattern fits - and why June 15 is the forcing function.

Context-First QA, Part 2: The 10 Maps
Yesterday I showed the math. Today I show the map. Ten architectural layers that need to be deterministic before AI can do anything useful.

Context-First QA, Part 1: The Thesis
I never let AI write my tests. I let it make decisions inside a deterministic harness. Here's the math, and why June 15 makes it visible.
