The twelve pages anyone can reach without an account: the front door, sign in and sign-in failed, an
invitation, a shared analytics page, Help, licences and notices, not found and the
crash screens, setting up a new server, the Discord link result pages, and the accessibility
statement. A hundred and nine placements.
Why this lane exists. #659 scoped these to lane 1 — “shell, Home, public
pages” — and lane 1 drew only the shell. #696’s sweep of surfaces nobody owned listed Home, the
campaign pages and the shared patterns, and missed these. Found while drawing lane 7.
Look
Reviewed, settled, and still open
The owner’s second look, 21 September
Licences & notices reworded. The first draft after D64 sounded like it was getting away with
something. Now it says the simple thing: Quest Board does not package rules; groups may add properly licensed
content; a rightsholder who finds content used without a proper licence can ask for it to be removed.
The front door’s three numbers stay (Q3). Themed lines on full-page stops only (Q2).
An unfinished setup reminds, never blocks (Q10, D70). Every proposal below accepted (Q9).
The owner’s review, 20 September
D62 — the front door. Signed out, / is a public site about Quest Board, with a few live
numbers from this server and the way in. Sign in is a page behind it. Drawn as PUB-11.
D63 — what is public. Help, Accessibility, a privacy policy and how to reach whoever runs the server,
from the front door and every footer (D15 gains Privacy). The administrator’s guide lives in the
project’s wiki, not in the app. Drawn as PUB-12 here and About this server in lane 7.
D64 — Licences & notices names nothing. The list of loaded packs this lane proposed is gone: what a
table plays with could give its campaign away. A general notice and where to write; each pack’s attribution
stays with the members who read the content.
D65 — errors wear the world’s colours. Sign-in failed, a dead invitation, not found and the crash
screens open in the game’s voice, then say plainly what happened and the way out. Lane 2c’s patterns
sheet draws the rule both ways.
D66 — how it talks. Human, semi-professional, a little humour, never corporate. Applied to what changed
here; the rule goes into the brief.
Settled before drawing
D4: there is an accessibility statement, with the target, the known gaps, and how to report one.
D15, amended by D63: the footer is six things — version, the project, Help, Accessibility, Privacy,
Licences & notices.
D46 (lane 1b): a pasted invite link takes the invitation’s own path, so both read the same.
D13 (lane 8): a version that is ready waits quietly; a version that is needed mid-visit reloads
once, which is SH-013 here.
Proposed while drawing, accepted on review (21 September)
An address that does not exist says so, instead of bouncing through Home to the sign-in page, where a
mistyped link and being signed out look identical (SH-009).
A session that ran out says so on the sign-in page (SH-032), rather than looking like a
first visit.
The shared analytics page’s Quest Board link goes to the front door. Today it points at
/, which sends a stranger to a sign-in page they have no account for; with D62, / is a
page they can use.
An invitation says if the table records its sessions, before anyone joins (IS-196). The
dead-invite message stays one line for all five reasons, and now says why.
Setting up a server lets every step be skipped, and remembers what was skipped — drawn as a list
in Admin rather than a banner that nags (IS-258; D70, 21 September: reminds, never blocks).
The coverage check: 109 placements, none missing. 89 drawn, 4 replaced by a proposal or a decision,
6 belonging to another surface, and 10 behaviour with nothing to see. The check is
coverage/lane1c.py beside the catalogue.
