fix(deploy): exclude public/commit/** from /commits + /intervene function tracing — unblocks the 255MB build failure

Production has been failing to deploy since 4450c85f8: "The Vercel Function
'commits' is 255.31mb uncompressed which exceeds the maximum uncompressed
size limit of 250mb." Root cause: /commits and /intervene do build-time
existsSync()/readdirSync() probes under public/commit/<sha> (272MB, 1049
dirs and growing by one per commit forever); Next's file tracer follows
those calls and bundles the entire tree into each route's serverless
function. Both routes are force-static — the fs probes only need the repo
on disk at BUILD time, never at runtime — so the fix is a wildcard
outputFileTracingExcludes entry (self-maintaining, same pattern already
used for /pmu-simulator/demo: never needs updating as more commit dirs
are added).

Also removed 275 legacy per-render duplicate PNGs (2.3MB) — three
timestamp-suffixed variants per commit left over from BEFORE the
2026-07-08 fix that made publish-commit-page.mjs write only two stable
files (og.png, trip-encircled-<sha>.png) per commit. Not the real bulk
(that's the self-contained base64-inlined HTML — 247MB, a deliberate
2026-07-06 fix for missing/untracked image bugs, not safe to unwind
without reintroducing that class of failure) but genuinely dead weight
matching the documented intent ("that pile of timestamp-suffixed files
was pure bloat").

Guard: tests/deployment/commit-page-function-size.test.js asserts the
wildcard exclude exists for both routes and logs public/commit/'s real
size on every test run so growth toward the 250MB ceiling is visible in
CI, not just at deploy time.

Originating-Terminal: 🔒 vault
Relevant-Rooms: 🔨 builder, 📐 architect, 🎩 operator
Story: Production had been stranded on a failing build for ~30 minutes across two deploy attempts (both carrying the scanner-gate/Chrome-bar work from this session); this fix is the unblock. The 274MB self-contained-HTML design is sound for its original bug but is unbounded — flagging as a structural follow-up, not resolving unilaterally here.
Persona-Intent: n/a (infra fix)

commit 4de546b4a — 144×144 lattice triptych (on-chip)

◎ the ingest chose B3,A3 — Tactics·Signal × Strategy·Fund — acting on A2,B1 — Strategy·Goal × Tactics·Speed (grip 0.734) · the walk starts at the ACTOR's row · 10 file(s)

⏱ ingest 85.8ms (corpus→lattice) · definer walk 331ms (row→transpose→row, ballistic XOR per hop) · total 517ms
ingest here = commit-scoped SENSING only (this commit's message + changed files → lit anchors) — deep seed authoring lives in the reef-self-loop, off the commit path

rows = ACTOR (lens) · cols = PATIENT (object) · diagonal = self-reference; ◎ at actor-row × patient-col — every panel, same orientation. Heat above the diagonal = actors ranking ShortLex-earlier than their patients (the walk follows definers uphill in rank).
The 12 canonical lanes (rows top→bottom, cols left→right): A·Strategy · B·Tactics · C·Operations · A1·Law · A2·Goal · A3·Fund · B1·Speed · B2·Deal · B3·Signal · C1·Grid · C2·Loop · C3·Flow

◎ the pixel this commit belongs to

B3,A3 — Tactics·Signal × Strategy·Fund (actor) acting on A2,B1 — Strategy·Goal × Tactics·Speed (patient) · grip 0.734

actor seed B3,A3 — Sufficient signal reach and message bandwidth require enough fund capital and budget runway to maintain the broadcast. Every dollar builds either the floor (substrate that lifts future bets) or the ceiling (cap on the next round). Allocation is which one this dollar chooses, and the choice is irreversible by the time the wire clears. Burn rate divides into substrate-building and exhaust. Substrate compounds; exhaust evaporates by quarter-end. The investor who pays for substrate is buying a different asset than the investor who pays for exhaust. Capital allocation is the irreversible vote — the bet that closes options to keep the others open. Each dollar deployed buys both the asset and the foreclosure of every alternative the dollar could have funded. Signal-to-noise is the inverse cube of bandwidth — narrow the channel, the message arrives; broaden it, recipients tune out. The right channel is the one whose floor matches the message's importance. A broadcast that addresses everyone addresses no one. Precision over reach until the address is calibrated; only then does scale convert prospects into recipients rather than into unsubscribes. Repetition is the cost of being heard. Three sends to one recipient beats one send to three; the first send announces, the second send is heard, the third send is remembered.

patient seed A2,B1 — Quarterly goal objectives set the target position that dictates the necessary speed and tempo beat. Latency is the price of a missed beat. Every hundred milliseconds of round-trip turns a parallel race into a stalemate, because the first arrival sets the rules the second arrival has to honor. Throughput compounds: doubling the rate doubles the surface area where serendipity can hit. A pipeline at twice the velocity is not twice as productive — it is exponentially more lucky. Time-to-first-byte is the only number the operator feels at the wheel. Optimize the felt latency before the raw throughput; the operator's grip on the loop is what drives the loop forward. Velocity is irreversible. A delivery sent fast cannot be unsent slow; a release deployed cannot be undeployed at the same speed it was deployed. Speed buys position, and position is harder to surrender than to occupy. The target is the cell coordinate the system MUST occupy by end-of-quarter. Anything that does not drive toward that coordinate is exhaust, and exhaust does not become substrate by being labelled progress. Vision is the coordinate the lattice rotates around — the fixed bearing every iteration is measured against. Without the fixed point, motion is movement; with the fixed point, motion is convergence. Define the goal as a verifiable predicate, not a feeling. The system terminates when the predicate evaluates true, and the predicate is what the next agent inherits when this one hands off. A goal that cannot be tested is a wish. Wishes have no termination condition, so they consume budget forever; goals have a finish line and therefore a payable price.
