Live from a machine you can touch
This page has no landlord.
Every byte of it was framed, encrypted, and sent by a server whose source you can read — HTTP parsing, TLS serving, routing, load balancing — running on hardware in the room.
The wire is ours
The HTTP/1.1 messages, the byte ranges, the cache validators, the redirect that brought you to HTTPS — parsed and written by code in this repository, not a vendored server binary.
Strict on purpose
Ambiguous framing is refused, not guessed at. A request that smells
like smuggling gets a 400; a path that tries to climb out of
this directory gets a 404.
Watched, not hoped
The process serving this page is supervised — restarted with backoff if it dies, redeployed when its Git branch moves, controlled from a console over SSH.
Why this page exists
It is the deployment's proof of life. If you can read this, the proxy is up, the config parsed, the certificate was issued, and the route matched. The prove it page goes further and interrogates the server from inside your browser.
