The civics test you never thought you needed

The commitment, in one line: make the site less and more at once — less website, more test. A civics test asks one thing: can you read a record and judge who governs you by it? This museum is that test with the serial numbers left on. Every page now carries its commit in the footer — the hash and date of its last change, receipts a reader can check against the public Ledger — and the flagship rooms carry their quizzes (the 📖 study guides), so reading the house means being tested by it and testing it right back. The civics you were taught was memorizing the three branches; the civics you needed was catching the edit, peeling the citation, scoring the record. Nobody signs up for that test; you were enrolled the day the feeds started drafting at you. This house is where you finally get to take it — open book, on purpose, because the book is the point.
