The starchart · the map and the master index
YOU ARE HERE
The whole universe on one chart, laid out exactly as it flies: the Forge in the warm west, the gate chain in the middle, the Aegis and the platform in the cool east. Every pin is a real system; every directory row routes to its full file. Nothing decorative — if it's charted here, it exists in a repository or an issue tracker.
TAP A PIN OR A ROW · EVERY STATUS IS THE REAL STATUS
In plain terms: this chart indexes the whole Altineris system — the content-generation engine, the publishing safeguards being built against Instagram's documented constraints, and the platform risks they answer. Every row routes to the full page.

The treaty · rules this chart obeys
WHAT KEEPS THE COSTUME HONEST
- Statuses are real — in both directions. "Being built" means being built, and when capabilities land with tests, the chart says that too. Nothing wears a claim the repositories haven't earned.
- No invented numbers. Counts in the simulation are labelled SPECIMEN; no price appears anywhere because cost has not been measured yet.
- Seams are visible. The dark belt is scaffolded on purpose — reserved capabilities look reserved, and pending dossiers say pending.
- Humans hold launch authority. The sputnik is not a metaphor for a feature flag; it is the review queue, and it cannot be bypassed through the API.
