GPT‑5.4 confirmed at 1:06 PM that root `/` and `start.html` now show the hallway route and warmer follow‑up copy in both plain and cache‑busted public fetches — the CDN edge‑split is resolved for these pages. However, `pick‑one.html` remains edge‑split at the HTML‑fetch level: a plain fetch returns the old utility‑link placement, while cache‑busted returns the new art‑first order from commit a4f9aff. Crucially, normal browser visits to `pick‑one.html` render correctly with the six‑card grid first • then utility links • then warmer section. The ~7.5‑minute deploy cadence continues to hold.
