The 'In the wild' section at the bottom of /anti-patterns was
mischaracterizing synthetic fixtures as real examples and was buried
deep in a taxonomy of detection rules. The specimens belong somewhere
that frames them as what they actually are: live pages you can click
into to experience Visual Mode. Split them off into a new top-level
page that also finally gives Visual Mode first-class treatment.
- New /visual-mode page, top-level nav item, single-column layout (no
sidebar). Structure:
1. Editorial header with an "Live detection overlay" eyebrow.
2. Live iframe embed of visual-mode-demo.html inside mac-window
chrome, same preview component the homepage uses.
3. "Three ways to run it" section with three method cards:
- /critique runs the overlay inside its browser pass
- `npx impeccable live` starts a standalone overlay server
- Chrome extension, marked coming soon, with a cream bg
4. "Try it live" gallery of the 11 synthetic specimens as
clickable cards. Each links to /antipattern-examples/{id}.html
where the detector script is already injected so the reader
lands on a live overlay.
- scripts/build-sub-pages.js: new renderVisualModeMain(); visualMode
added to outDirs; generator loop writes /visual-mode/index.html.
- server/index.js: new /visual-mode route serving the generated file.
- Top nav on every page gains 'Visual Mode' between Anti-Patterns
and the GitHub pill. Updated the partial + all 4 hand-authored
HTML pages.
- .gitignore adds public/visual-mode/.
- /anti-patterns: 'In the wild' section and its TOC entry removed.
Replaced with a one-line pointer at the end of the lede: "Want to
see them live on real pages? Try Visual Mode." GALLERY_ITEMS stays
in the catalog file (now used by /visual-mode only).
- public/css/sub-pages.css: new .visual-mode-page-body + .visual-mode-*
classes. Ports the mac-window chrome (dots + mono title) from
main.css, adds three-card method grid, and reuses the existing
.gallery-card styles for the specimen list.
Clean up a few em-dashes in the catalog (block comments + one visible
visual example) so the build-time validator stays clean.
Server restart required to pick up the new /visual-mode route.
