[Tim-Conrad]

Why the change

The encrypted-patches thought was hard to follow for readers who do not know TUF, drand or timelock encryption, and it now also reads along with a narration (simulated timing until the audio exists).

Special things to note

• No audio yet: narration.json has audio: null, so assets/narration.js simulates the timing at about 160 words a minute. The page says so under Listen.
• Rule changes: CLAUDE.md and DESIGN.md allow a third script (assets/narration.js) and four marker colours that show only while a narration plays. The page CSP adds connect-src 'self' for narration.json.
• Fig. 3, 4 and 7 no longer use the step viewer (data-steps) with Back, Next and Play: the voice drives their steps (data-voice-steps). Every figure has a new narrow drawing for phones.

Change outline

The page is the script. narration.js reads it and follows the voice:

article.prose[data-narration="…/narration.json"]
  h2, p, li up to #sources     → read word for word (source marks skipped)
  .say                         → spoken parts: folded, open when the voice gets there
  .mk[data-c]                  → colour block once the voice says the term
  figure[data-voice-steps]     → .fig-steps li: one step per item, drawing follows
narration.json                 → chapters, figure cues, audio + timing (null for now)

One frame of playback:

render(t)
  char  = charAt(t)               # simulated, or ElevenLabs character timings later
  block = segment of char         → .cur, others dim by text colour
  phrase marker over ≤7 words     → grey tint, moves about every 2 s
  .mk, cues, figure steps         → all derived from t, so seeking back undoes them
  scroll: keep the block, or the whole figure, between site header and player
