## Technical notes for crawlers

- Primary app is static HTML + ES modules on Cloudflare Pages
- `index.html` is the main entry; content labels load from `/locales/{code}.json`
- Deep links use `?node=NODE_ID` query parameter for codex nodes
- `?lang=` sets UI locale; `?preview=1` bypasses countdown seal (builder preview)
- APIs: `/api/chat`, `/api/visitors`, `/api/live`, `/api/minecraft-news` (public read)

## When the archive unseals

Marketing copy references **July 1, 2026 at 12:00 AM in the visitor's local timezone**. Before that date, a full-screen countdown seal is shown; forum and telemetry may still be partially visible.
