## How the website works (for crawlers and tools)

- The experience is a **single-page flow**: **mouse wheel**, **touch swipe**, or **keyboard** (**ArrowDown**, **ArrowUp**, **Space**) move between **six sections** (see below). URLs still map to sections for sharing and SEO.
- **Agents and programmatic `fetch`** usually send `Accept: */*` without `text/html`. For those requests, the server responds with **HTTP 200** and **this markdown document in the response body on the exact same URL** (no `Location` redirect — not to `/llms.txt`, not elsewhere). Browsers send `Accept: text/html` and receive the normal HTML + React UI.
