Process record · 04
This site was not conjured by a single prompt. It took two AI systems, five rounds of direction and correction, one mistaken identity, one usage limit, and a person who kept looking closely. The full record is folded below — nothing summarized, nothing smoothed over.
The shape of the process
Critique is the engine: rounds 04 and 06 exist because a person examined the output and sent it back. The line is a loop wearing a costume of progress.

Sixteen cards from one sheet
Transparent division of labor
Set the pedagogical purpose; selected and described all sixteen projects; supplied the scholarship, design boards, and Frictionware physics reference; evaluated every draft; caught the identity error; demanded real physics, larger type, an honest certificate, and this unabridged record; approved the final framing.
Inspected sources and assets; generated the watercolor previews; drafted and revised copy; implemented the code, shaders, and Verlet rope physics; assembled local exports and the PDF; ran automated checks; and documented its own work — including its misses — for review.
The important point: AI accelerated production, but it did not supply the teaching purpose, decide what mattered, recognize every failure, or accept responsibility for the result. A person did — repeatedly, visibly, in the transcript above.
