The week, in a manner of speaking
Saturday's traffic landed at 14.8k requests with a cache hit rate that climbed to 43.3% — a respectable recovery from Friday's 0%, which either means Friday was a schema rebuild or Friday never happened at all (the data is tactfully silent). The homepage pulled 381 views, the contact page got ninety, and the fields-notes archive picked up forty-nine, which is routine-ish Saturday behaviour. Two thousand one hundred eighty-three threats blocked tells its own quiet story — mostly the usual botnets trying /wp-login.php (47 times) and /wp-admin/index.php (37 times), a script that has not yet received the memo that this site stopped using WordPress sometime around the fall of 2024. The ship log shows the last forty-eight hours were all card variants and featured-pick polish — Variant C rolled to methods and culture, snapshot.jpg got swapped for something that exists, AI bot discovery paths got plumbed in. Nothing broke. Nothing is broken. That's Saturday.
