Site Editing — what works today & what’s coming

What the door can do

“Ready” means proven — an independent reviewer tried hard to break it, and a person who had never seen the door used it cold, successfully, in their own words.

What you want	Status	Plainly	If you ask today
Works today
Change any wording on the site	Ready	“Change ‘Restrain policy’ to ‘Leash & Carrier Policy’” Done, with a receipt.	Works.
Add a plain line of text — a sentence, not a bullet (that one’s below)	Ready	“Add a note that we include a free nail trim” It lands where you said.	Works.
Take a change back	Ready	“Undo that” Restores the site exactly as it was, down to the last letter.	Works.
Ask where something appears	Ready	“Where does the old phone number still show?” Honest, complete answers.	Works.
Coming next — what each one changes for you
Create a whole new page by asking	Being verified	When this lands: you ask for a page — “a page for our dental services” — and get one, in plain words. Built, and already improved once from a first verification round; the second independent round runs today.	You’ll get an honest “not built yet.” Tell Robert you asked — it helps.
New pages come out fully editable — no dead corners	Being verified	When this lands: nothing on a page the door creates is quietly uneditable — it’s changeable in plain words, all the way through. The test that was supposed to prove this turned out to be too weak to trust, so we’re rebuilding the test itself before re-running it. The capability held up; the proof didn’t.	Not something you ask for — it’s a guarantee being proven behind the scenes.
Move or reorder sections	Needs a decision	When this lands: you move a section up or down by saying so, without filing a request. It’s fully designed; it needs two calls from Robert on how it should behave, then it gets built and verified.	You’ll get an honest “not built yet,” plus what IS possible today.
Add formatted items (a real bullet with its dot)	In line	When this lands: “add a bullet to the services list” gives you a real bullet, dot and all — not a plain sentence. First in line of the remaining work: a tester hit this wall live, so it jumped the queue.	You’ll get an honest “not built yet.”
Change shared text on just one page	In line	When this lands: you change a sentence on one page without touching its twin on another. Today, when one saved sentence prints in two places, you can’t yet change just one. Second in line — a tester felt this friction.	The door asks an honest question and changes nothing without you.
Photos, video, forms on the site, redirects, and the rest	Not built yet	When this lands: swapping a photo or updating a form is the same plain-words ask as changing a headline. Mapped and ordered — each one gets built, independently attacked, and cold-tested before it ever says “Ready” here.	You’ll get an honest “not built yet.”

What’s useful to try

The rows marked Ready work right now — on the pilot practice’s private preview, not on any client’s live site. If you want to see one, ask Robert for a demo, or tell him the exact words you’d use and he’ll try it on the pilot.

And if you ask for something that isn’t built yet, say so anyway. That’s not a dead end — it’s the signal that orders this list. The two rows now first and second in line got there because testers hit those exact walls.

On timing: we don’t put dates on these, because each one must survive an independent attempt to break it and a cold test by a real person before it says “Ready” — we’d rather be late than wrong. What we promise is the order, and it’s the order above. One honest number: an edit currently takes about four minutes to land; getting it under one minute is a formal part of “done” (below), and today we count that as failing — not “nearly there.”

Overall progress

31 of 58 kinds of edit · 53%

Of every kind of edit a human engineer could make to a site — a full inventory, no exclusions — this many already work in plain words at the door.

Works today (31)Still to come (27)

The ten rows above group all 58 into the kinds of ask you’re likely to have. Worth knowing what’s in the remaining 27: photos, video, on-site forms, and redirects are still in there — if those are most of what your clients ask for, that’s exactly why they’re queued and listed, never silently missing.

What “done” means

The bar we hold ourselves to. All five, or it isn’t done.

1
Everything editable, or honestly labeled. Every piece of the site can be changed in plain words — or it carries a visible “not yet” with a reason. Nothing is silently uneditable.
2
Independently attacked. Every capability survived a reviewer whose whole job was to break it.
3
Cold-tested by a human. A person with no training used it successfully, in their own words.
4
Receipts true, undo exact. What it says happened, happened. Undo restores the original perfectly.
5
Under a minute. A routine edit lands in under sixty seconds. Today it takes about four — we count this one as failing, out loud, until it’s measured green.

For new sites

“Born fully editable” means a brand-new site from the factory — the assembly line that builds sites in this system — meets all five on day one, checked automatically at birth, not assumed. The factory’s own health checks are being repaired now to make that possible; none of that work touches any live client site.

What changed recently

Aug 11
Robert ruled: the under-a-minute speed requirement is part of “done” — full stop.
First cold-user test PASSED, 13 of 13 checks: a person who had never seen the door edited the site in their own words, and undo restored the original exactly.
Cleanup from that test landed: made-up clinic dates a test had typed were removed. They only ever existed on our own private preview — never on any client’s live site. Three plain-language rules were also added to how the door replies.
Creating new pages finished building; its second independent verification round runs today.
The “no dead corners” guarantee: verification found the proving test too weak — the test is being rebuilt, then re-run.
Factory repair started (first batch of fixes out for review). The factory is the assembly line for NEW sites in this system — no live client site is touched by this work.
