What had to change
Explore a manifest-driven OS-style interface without making the operating-system metaphor the main website thesis.
Approach
How the work was shaped
The site is maintained as a downstream of his own OS work: he physically re-laid this repo onto mso's slice layout so a fix landed upstream ports across as a file copy instead of a manual translation (120 import sites across 81 files survived on a one-line tsconfig edit), then ported mso's import-cycle and WCAG-contrast checkers and its slice-boundary lint rules — widening the cycle scan to `components/` because 55 of the 81 modules that consume a slice live there, so mso's narrower scan would have left most of this tree unchecked. Framework limits are met head-on rather than worked around: the OS deep links are explicit static route directories rather than a `[slug]` catch-all, because `dynamicParams` is rejected outright under `cacheComponents` and a one-segment catch-all would answer every unknown top-level URL with a 200 and a blank desktop; `os-app-slugs.test.ts` then diffs the slug list against the live catalog, the marketing routes and the directories on disk so the three cannot drift silently. Status audits run as parallel verifiers checking claimed-done against actual code, which is how a latent production outage surfaced — `convex/files.ts` called `assertSession` without importing it, and `convex/` is excluded from the root tsconfig, so `tsc --noEmit` never saw it and uploads threw only once deployed.
