cut-evidence-primary-nav

Objective: Cut evidence.html from the primary benchmarks/editor/docs/perf/index.html navigation while preserving it as a generated raw audit footer link.

Completion threshold:

• index.html primary list has exactly two cards: rich-text.html and slate-v2-internals.html.
• evidence.html remains generated/reachable as a footer audit link.
• Benchmark docs generation/checks pass.
• Served /index.html proves the new shape.

Verification surface:

• benchmarks/editor/benchmarks/render-perf-index.mjs
• benchmarks/editor/docs/perf/index.html
• cd benchmarks/editor && npm run check
• HTTP smoke proof against http://127.0.0.1:8765/index.html

Constraints:

• Do not delete evidence.html.
• Do not change benchmark data or editor rows.
• No PR/commit/branch requested.

Boundaries:

• Source of truth: user accepted the cut-visible-nav recommendation.
• Allowed edit scope: perf docs index generator, generated index, and this plan.
• Browser surface: static docs server at http://127.0.0.1:8765/.
• Tracker sync: N/A.
• Non-goals: no benchmark schema, adapter, or runtime changes.

Blocked condition:

• Block only if generation/checks fail after targeted repair or the static server is unavailable. Neither happened.

Task state:

• task_type: generated docs navigation cleanup
• task_complexity: micro
• current_phase: closeout
• current_phase_status: complete
• next_phase: final response
• goal_status: ready to close

Current verdict:

• verdict: complete
• confidence: high
• next owner: user
• reason: generated docs and served route proof satisfy the requested cut.

Completion rule:

• Close the active goal only after this plan passes the autogoal completion checker.

Findings:

• The generated index made Evidence Kit a peer page, which is too noisy for the main benchmark entrypoint.

Decisions and tradeoffs:

• Keep evidence.html as a raw audit footer link instead of deleting it.

Implementation notes:

• Changed the generated index.html template to render two primary list items and a footer link for Evidence Kit.

Review fixes:

• None.

Error attempts:

Error / failed attempt	Count	Next different move	Resolution
Browser connector unavailable	1	Use HTTP route proof.	Route proof passed.

Verification evidence:

• npx biome check benchmarks/render-perf-index.mjs --fix passed in benchmarks/editor.
• npm run docs:index passed in benchmarks/editor.
• npm run docs:index:check passed in benchmarks/editor.
• node --check benchmarks/render-perf-index.mjs passed in benchmarks/editor.
• npm run check passed in benchmarks/editor.
• Served proof for http://127.0.0.1:8765/index.html: status 200, title present, primary cards 2, primary rich-text link true, primary internals link true, primary evidence link false, footer evidence link true.

Final handoff contract:

• PR line: N/A.
• Issue / tracker line: N/A.
• Confidence line: High; generated docs and route proof passed.
• Flow table:
  • Reproduced: N/A.
  • Verified: npm run check and served index assertion passed.
• Browser check: Browser connector unavailable; static HTTP assertion used.
• Outcome: index.html now has only two primary navigation cards, with Evidence Kit in the footer.
• Caveat: No screenshot or console capture.
• Design:
  • Chosen boundary: generated index template.
  • Why not quick patch: generated HTML would be overwritten.
  • Why not broader change: preserving raw Evidence Kit output is still useful.
• Verified: see verification evidence above.

Final handoff / sync:

• PR: N/A.
• Issue / tracker: N/A.
• Browser proof: route-level HTTP proof passed.
• Caveats: static HTML proof only.

Timeline:

• 2026-05-28T15:45Z Created goal and inspected generator/index.
• 2026-05-28T15:46Z Moved Evidence Kit from primary card to footer audit link.
• 2026-05-28T15:47Z Regenerated docs and verified package plus served route.

Reboot status:

Question	Answer
Where am I?	Closeout
Where am I going?	Final response
What is the goal?	Remove Evidence Kit from primary nav while preserving raw audit access.
What have I learned?	The generator owns the page, so the template is the right boundary.
What have I done?	Changed the generator, regenerated docs, and verified checks/routes.

Open risks:

• None for the requested cut; browser proof is route-level rather than screenshot-level.
