Experiments

Fourteen experiments, each one actually built by the pinned engine and verified in a real headless browser against this vault — not described, not planned. Every page below states:

  1. what it demonstrates,
  2. the exact configuration or content that produces it, fenced verbatim,
  3. what the rendered output proves (the marker looked for in the emitted DOM),
  4. safe_for_shared_engine with a one-line reason.

What safe_for_shared_engine does and does not mean

true means: if the maintainers of the shared engine at /home/loca/dev/quartz/quartz ever chose to adopt this, the blast radius across the 51 wikis would be small and reversible. It is an assessment, not an authorisation. No sandbox run ever edits the shared engine — an experiment that would require such an edit is reported as blocked instead.

Fixtures

These exist to be consumed by the experiments above and are not experiments themselves:

  • Transclusion source — embedded whole, by heading, and by block id.
  • Unlisted demo page — present at its route, absent from every index.
  • Encrypted demo page — ciphertext in the HTML, password published on purpose.
  • sandbox-tour.canvas and sandbox-notes.base — non-markdown sources rendered by page-type plugins; reachable from their experiment pages.
