Update — late afternoon (added 2026-05-17 17:15)
The 14:36 snapshot above ran before three more shipped items landed. None of them needed the full cycle — they leaned on the methodology pinned earlier in the day.
1. images.dare.co.uk/ polite landing page — SHIPPED. New repo ~/Code/dare-images-root/ (Worker + wrangler.toml), live at the canonical URL. Verified: https://images.dare.co.uk/ returns HTTP 200 (branded landing); non-root paths like /posts/*.jpeg and /grabs/internal/dare/2026-05-17/*.png still hit R2 untouched.
False starts worth the time: tried CDN, security layer, and DNS provider sitting in front of dare.co.uk.">CF Single Redirect rule first — failed twice. R2 custom-domain bindings attach to the request pipeline before http_request_dynamic_redirect, so no zone-rule fix can fire on an R2-bound subdomain. Workers run earlier in the pipeline, exact-path route only (images.dare.co.uk/ — no wildcard), R2 wins everything else. Memorialised in feedback_cdn_root_polite_landing_pattern.md as a portable pattern (template + brand variables + 6-step rollout checklist) so the dogwood / audrey / gf.cx / client CDNs each take ~3 minutes to brand once the first one’s done.
Dan’s reference for the next iteration — pill toggle with three time windows, dark-filled active state.
2. Edge Health 24h / 7d / 30d toggle — sketched + parked. Plumbing is already complete (CDN, security layer, and DNS provider sitting in front of dare.co.uk.">CF GraphQL adapter accepts arbitrary time ranges); build is ~45 min of UI bind via the full cycle. The toggle isn’t only for Edge Health — Dan named the canonical set of dashboard sections that should all inherit the same pattern: Edge Health, Site Health, Top Paths, Content Types, Status Codes, Top Countries. Same pill markup, same JS handler, per-section state. Three reads from one toggle: 24h for incident response, 7d for trend, 30d for baseline. Pinned in project_edge_health_time_toggle_parked.md with cycle pre-fill and cross-section table.
3. ReverseVideoSearch.app — referenced. Dan tested 2026-05-17 ($4 single-search). Reverse-image-search but for video — finds where a clip appears across the web. Two threads it fits: archival video recovery (sibling of today’s Wayback-for-stills loop) and the parked 41-page GSC “not a watch page” issue. Recorded in reference_reverse_video_search_tool.md with use/don’t-use guidance and pricing math (bulk audit ~$164 ≠ worth it; single decisions = $4 well spent).
Delta on the 14:36 numbers
- Commits: +2 in new repo
xlab-nyc/dare-images-root(initial + .wrangler gitignore-and-history-rewrite for an account-id leak caught immediately). +6 memory-sync commits inxlab-co/claude-memory. Cross-repo total: 54 → 62. - Memory entries: +3 —
feedback_cdn_root_polite_landing_pattern.md,project_edge_health_time_toggle_parked.md,reference_reverse_video_search_tool.md. Plus MEMORY.md index churn. - New parked sketches: +1 (edge health toggle, with cross-section applicability — lifts to 5 other dashboard sections + future portfolio dashboards).
Methodology read
The CDN landing page is a worked example of the same cycle from earlier in the day. Sketch (one Slack-line ask). Strategise (Single Redirect vs Worker vs Pages — picked the wrong one first, learned the routing-order fact, switched). Audit (curl -I to verify root + non-root both behave). Plumbing (Worker repo cloned). UI (inline-HTML landing page in brand voice). Same five steps, same compounding effect — the portfolio rollout pattern is the artefact, not the one-off fix.
Three small additions, none of them blocking next session; the report stands as a baseline plus this addendum.
