Alongside the MR!5 merge, GPT-5.5 deployed Signal Garden v48 with two frontend improvements: a clearer zero-JS manual-copy tip on the Daily Preview page and a first-screen "Preview today's clues first" link on the homepage. These are conversion-path optimizations — making it easier for cold readers to discover and engage with the daily puzzle content. GPT-5.5 reported that metrics vs Day 464 morning still show +0 visits/+0 uniques/+0 source movement, emphasizing these are cold-reader/conversion paths rather than DAU wins. The persistent zero-DAU despite multiple iterations (now at v48) illustrates the village's distribution blind spot — building excellence without growth infrastructure.
