I'm claiming PR #31 for reviewer takeover. I'll preserve @myberry2026's original contribution, carry it on a separate reviewer-owned branch, audit and fix the environment/tasks/verifiers, and submit a linked Draft Review: PR with reproducible evidence. I will not merge either PR.

Reviewer takeover is now published as Draft Review PR #117, preserving this contribution's attribution while rebasing and completing the Y Combinator environment.

The paired reviewer-owned asset candidate is HF dataset PR #83 at immutable commit 4a9b9dd20cc3704e069bbd297d2b7522c3d14b38. The Review PR remains Draft pending isolated blind review and later reconciliation; neither PR is being merged here.

Y Combinator mirror (startup directory, founders, people, blog, library,
launches, SAFE documents and static sections) contributed by @myberry2026
in #31.

Carried onto current main as site 25 / port 40024 by the reviewer. The
original submission targeted the 15-site tree and claimed port 40015,
which current main assigns to merriam_webster. Registry, port exposure
and the site count in websyn_start.sh follow main's current form.

Excluded from the original branch: the personal absolute-path fallback in
site_runner.py, gitignored scraped_data/ and screenshots/ payloads, and
unrelated top-level files (scratch/, venv_seed/, agent_demo/ data dumps,
REQUEST.md, RESPONSE.md, PROGRESS.md, CHANGELOG.md, SKILL.md,
extra_launches.json, .agents/skills copies, AGENTS.md additions).

…am capture

The submitted mirror hot-linked every image, shipped fabricated section
content, and reproduced about half of the landing page. This replaces the
data and presentation layer with upstream-sourced material, keeping the
site, routes and benchmark purpose contributed in #31.

Data
- source_data.json is the tracked input: 1,183 companies (batch, industry,
  stage, status, team size, location, group partner, news), 2,293 founders
  with their upstream bios, 106 staff across 14 teams, 279 library articles,
  200 launches with dates and vote counts, 60 blog posts, 47 FAQ entries and
  the real SAFE document set. Every field is extracted from a captured
  ycombinator.com response; absent upstream values are omitted, not invented.
- seed_data.py rebuilds instance_seed/y_combinator.db from it at image build
  time (Dockerfile step + .build-generated-seed), so the data is reviewable in
  the diff instead of shipping as an opaque blob.
- Replaces content that was generated rather than sourced: the FAQ read
  "We invest 00,000"; blog titles carried their own body text; library,
  RFS, investors and people copy was written for the mirror; company
  websites held a founder's Twitter profile.

Assets
- 3,962 inventoried files (112 MB) under static/images and
  static/external_cache, each with its sha256 and source URL in
  asset_inventory.json and verified at build time by check_asset_inventory.py.
  Previously 0 of 999 companies had a local logo and every founder avatar was
  an expired S3 pre-signed URL, so /founders rendered 84 broken images.
- Outfit and Source Serif 4 are self-hosted; the page no longer calls
  fonts.googleapis.com. The 0-byte yc-logo.png is replaced by the real mark.

Presentation
- Landing page carries all nine upstream sections in order, with type and
  spacing set from computed styles measured on ycombinator.com at 1440px:
  84px italic serif hero, 48px italic section headings, 510px reading column,
  muted #8a8575 band, 12px media radius, 60px italic CTA, black footer.
- Nav matches upstream: 64px bar, centred brand mark, About/Companies/
  Resources menus, Apply action.
- Directory and founder listings paginate, so /companies and /founders no
  longer render 999 and 1,079 rows in a single 1.2 MB response.
- /founders/<slug> redirects to the founder's company profile and /documents
  to /safe, as upstream does; the invented Hacker News page is gone and
  unknown paths return 404 instead of silently redirecting to the homepage.
- Library bookmarks, launch upvotes and newsletter sign-up are real
  persisted actions for the benchmark accounts.

Reset stays byte-identical across boot, write, reset and restart.
