Fresh silk
New experiments fresh from the workbench, still sticky and untested.
Try them early and tell the spider what broke.

Alpha
Brave spiders only
Alpha builds with sharp edges and missing legs.

Failed
Glorious failures
- Web-shaker search: shook the whole page on every keystroke. Post-mortem: motion belongs on the lens, not the layout.
- Thread-count badges: counted everything twice. Post-mortem: one source of truth lives in the menu tree.
- Auto-weaving hero: wove without consent. Post-mortem: the gate click stays; the spider waits for an invitation.
Workflow
How experiments graduate
Prototype to alpha to product, or to the failed shelf with honors.
Each step needs notes, a test pass, and a spider-approved review.
