-The public dashboard is now a provenance-aware projection rather than a static KPI page. The machine snapshot carries a `help-wanted.control-surface.v2` contract with source SHA, registered lane paths, complete commit history for those paths, and deployment topology. The UI exposes this as operator inspection/navigation plus a commit-derived evolution timeline.
+Status JSON: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/timerloggedout-spec/termux-monorepo/master/docs/ops/generated/help-wanted-status.json
 
-### Evidence flow
+## Operator deploy
 
-`GitHub issues/PRs + Actions + evidence JSONL → help_wanted_status.py → versioned status snapshot → Pages/Vercel dashboard`
+Workflow: `.github/workflows/help-wanted-dashboard-deploy.yml`
 
-The dashboard never writes inferred facts back to the repository. Browser controls are navigation into authoritative GitHub surfaces. Reachability of a deployment is not accepted as proof that the intended SHA was deployed; provider/source verification remains part of promotion evidence.
+Jobs: enable project Pages, publish project hub, mirror the user GitHub Pages dashboard, and optionally deploy Vercel production.
 
-### Additive-feature accounting
+## Sitemap boundary
 
-A dashboard feature is considered accounted for when its implementation/contract path is covered by the registered lane history and the resulting snapshot records the source SHA. This deliberately includes workflow, skill, generator, contract, and UI changes—not only `index.html`.
+The XML sitemap contains only public dashboard destinations. Internal repository paths, Actions URLs, Vercel inspector URLs, and credential-bearing surfaces are deliberately excluded.

+- **Vercel:** the verified deployment URL above is deployment evidence/navigation only; it is not canonical because Vercel deployment hostnames are ephemeral.

+- The dashboard sitemap indexes public dashboard destinations only; internal GitHub/Actions/inspector URLs are excluded.

+## Anti-patterns
 
-- Publishing the **same dashboard HTML** as both project Pages root and `/help-wanted/` (false parity).
-- Leaving marketing with **zero link** into the ops surface.
+- Publishing the same dashboard HTML as both project Pages root and `/help-wanted/`.
+- Treating a Vercel deployment hostname as a permanent canonical URL.
 - Using jsDelivr as primary HTML host (`text/plain`).
