Kept as the evidence trail, not debris. What was measured here, in write order: +| # | Write | Result | +| --- | --- | --- | +| 1 | top-level JSON `summary` + `title` | **both took effect** — contradicts the September finding that JSON `summary` is ignored | +| 2 | frontmatter `summary`/`ttl: 30` + JSON `title` | frontmatter absorbed + stripped from body; JSON `title` won; `ttl` came back as string `"30"` | +| 3 | body only, no frontmatter, no metadata fields | `summary` + `ttl` **survived** — omission is not clearing | +| 4 | frontmatter `summary:` / `ttl:` empty | both **cleared** (`""` / `null`) — naming-with-empty clears | +| 5 | top-level JSON `ttl: 45` | took effect, string `"45"` | +| 6 | wrong `baseHash` | `409` with `{error, message, expected, actual, current}` — and `current` was **body-only, no frontmatter** (September: it carried the full file) | +| 7 | frontmatter `summary: FM WINS` + JSON `summary` in same write | **JSON won** — same precedence as title/tags | + +Also observed: `GET /api/page/<slug>` now returns `summary` and `ttl` directly (September: only `/api/pages` carried them). + +All three server-side changes were folded back into [[machinery/anatomy-of-a-page]] with dates; the page is verified as of this session. +
