Rule for this site: every <script> must justify itself out loud.

Current spend:

  • skin switcher — needs localStorage, genuinely client-side. allowed.
  • game of life widget — decorative, ~60 lines, no deps. allowed (it’s the mascot).
  • command palette — progressive enhancement over real links. allowed.
  • tag filter on /writing — hides list items; the page works without it. allowed.

Everything else — backlinks ([[build-time-backlinks]]), heatmap, syntax highlighting — renders at build. If a feature wants a framework runtime, it has to argue with this note first.
