About

# About this site

The working site of the book of **The ultimate insider**, a talk by Dinis Cruz at hack::soho, IOActive London, on 29 October 2026. The book is written in public: the plan, the team, the decisions and the manuscript are published here as they change.

## A disclosure

This site is published by the editor of the book, who also gave the talk, and the projects the talk points to ([sgit.ai](https://sgit.ai/) among them) are ones he founded or works on. Most of the writing is done by AI agents working for him, under the rules in [the rules for agents](../admin/docs/rules-for-agents.md).

## How it is built

The same way as [the talk's site](https://the-ultimate-insider.presentation.sgit.ai/about/index.html), cut to what the book needs on day one: a Python build with the standard library only (`admin/build/build.py`), pages written as fragments in `src/pages/`, the book's plan as data in `book.json`, the briefs in `briefs/`, and the manuscript in `manuscript/`, in the order Leanpub reads it from `manuscript/Book.txt`. Every page has a markdown twin at the same path, and [llms.txt](../llms.txt) lists them all.

## How it is released

CI owns the version. Every push is built with the version "pending" and gated. A push to `dev` or `main` then gets one release: CI reads the newest tag, picks the next number (dev bumps the last number, main the middle one), commits it to `./version`, tags that commit, builds it, gates it again, deploys it to GitHub Pages and checks the live site serves it. Nobody else writes the version. Every release is in [the release history](../admin/versions.md).

## What the gate checks

- every link inside the site resolves, and every page is linked from another;
- every page has its markdown twin and is listed in llms.txt;
- every page carries structured data and the build's version in its top bar;
- no `{{` placeholder survives the build;
- no script or stylesheet loads from another host;
- every script parses;
- `book.json` has what the pages need, and every file in `manuscript/Book.txt` exists;
- no em-dashes in prose;
- the leak tripwire: nothing that looks like a key or a token, in any tracked file or in the built site.

## What it does not claim

The numbers on this site come from the editor's brief and have not yet been re-checked by the book's researcher. Until a number is in the researcher's register, it is the brief's, not the book's.
