What

A full pass over the public docs and the docs site chrome so a high-bar reader can trust both the words and the page they are on.

The 3-layer doc system stays. What was broken was the story (four overlapping "what is phux" essays), a maturity line that disagreed with the code, product pages that were architecture dumps, and a site that still sliced tui.md / agents.md by numbered H2s those files no longer have.

Why

Cockpit ships. This tree serves AgentSession (RESOURCE_KINDS). Hub-and-spoke federation is real. The GitHub README, CONCEPTS, when-to-use, and phux.sh all said different things about those three facts. The site primers still pointed at /consumers/tui/commands and /consumers/agents/cli.

How

  • CONCEPTS owns "what is phux" and the Status table. Everyone else links.
  • Product pages are jobs again: tui.md 3206→607, agents.md 2318→673, mcp.md 745→218.
  • New thin docs/consumers/cockpit.md.
  • Spec README is a two-minute model; tutorial HELLO is 0.9.
  • Site: unsplit the long guides, publish the architecture diagram, proportional docs body / mono chrome, landing nav that fits a phone, redirects for the old slice URLs.

Generated docs/reference/ is untouched.

Validation

  • just docs-check — 193 files, 0 violations
  • bun run sync-docs — 167 pages
  • Playwright against astro dev: /, /docs, /quickstart, /concepts, /consumers/tui, /consumers/agents, /consumers/cockpit, /wire, /architecture/diagram all 200; old slice URLs 308 to the parent page; desktop + 390px screenshots of landing and docs index

Follow-up

phux-ze33.8 — compiled phux --skill text still says AgentSession is on the resource-model branch.

phux-ze33. The docs already had structure; they did not have one story.
Cut restated product essays, put "what is phux" back in CONCEPTS, and
make the maturity line match this tree: Cockpit ships, AgentSession is
served, hub-and-spoke federation is real.

Product pages are jobs again, not archives. tui.md 3206 to 607,
agents.md 2318 to 673, mcp.md 745 to 218. Spec README is a two-minute
model; the tutorial HELLO is 0.9. Architecture Status tables no longer
claim the AgentSession engine is tests-only.

Generated docs/reference/ is untouched.
Unsplit tui.md and agents.md so the site is not slicing numbered H2s
that no longer exist. Publish the architecture diagram, add Cockpit to
the consumer nav, and retarget primers to the new page jobs.

Docs body uses the UI sans for reading; chrome stays the instrument
stack. Landing nav wraps on a phone. Old /consumers/tui/commands and
/consumers/agents/cli URLs redirect to the parent pages.
Public copy states what ships and links CONCEPTS for gaps. It does not
introduce the product as pre-alpha on every page.

The site footer and crate authors said Phil Hall. That is not the name.
