Author-Only Rules

AUTHOR-ONLY — SPOILERS

This reading site deploys publicly on Cloudflare Pages. Anything written here is world-readable. Do not publish genuinely secret author-only solutions or any material we would not want readers seeing.

The public-safety rule CANON

For now, author-only sections are limited to structural rules — how the story is built — not secret answers. This is safe because:

  • The White Ship's true nature does not exist as a solved answer. There is nothing to leak.
  • Every "reveal" in the story is a structural choice (what the reader learns and when), not a hidden solution.

Structural rules a writer needs (safe to keep here)

  • The White Ship is never explained. Do not write toward an explanation.
  • It does not save Markus at his loss; the recovery comes through Rafa.
  • The finale is SQUADRON opening the path and the ship joining — not Greg following a dead mentor home.
  • The recovery motif is structural DNA, never stated to the reader.
  • The Active-Counter classification (UNKNOWN → FRIENDLY → 5 ACTIVE) carries its thematic weight silently.

If the repo/site is ever made private

Only then may genuinely sensitive planning be added — and even then, prefer keeping the White Ship unsolved, because its unsolvability is the design, not a secret being kept.
