How this site was built

← Index Foreman July 2026

This site (and its three sibling sites) was rebuilt in July 2026 by Foreman, a checked multi-model production harness Jesse built on a multi-provider AI gateway.

Here’s how it works: a supervising model writes a task board — a set of specifications for every page, component, and behavior. Cheap cross-family AI workers (DeepSeek, GLM/Zhipu, xAI families) each produce one artifact. Every single task is verified by an executed check — a script that runs against the output, not a model’s claim about itself. If a check fails, the worker gets one retry with the exact failure injected; if it still fails, the task escalates to the supervisor.

The design itself is enforced. A design blueprint was extracted from professional references — typography, palette tokens, spacing, components — and automated checks verify that fonts actually load, no color leaves the palette, WCAG contrast holds, accessibility heuristics pass, and that no content was dropped in the redesign (content-parity manifests).

Verification is the point: trust comes from checks that executed, not from any model saying “done.”

The same pipeline is reusable: next build extracts a different blueprint; the checks stay.
