Inspect accepted, verified, deployed, published, and review-lifecycle facts without blending them. R-023 accepts the exact deployed R-022 Lotus Eaters and Bloom's Morning identities; R-024 closes deployment and publication for six verified, unaccepted public-review guides from exact Stage 1 evidence without changing the fixed analytics boundary or claiming Stage 2 reconciliation.

Evidence key
Two axes, kept separate
Claim and basis/precision/state are separate axes. Every value is visible as text and has a non-colour cue.
Claim lane · what kind of statement?
TEXT
What the primary text says or directly stages.
HIST
Historical or bibliographic context supported outside the novel.
INTERP
A declared project reading of arrangement or effect.
Basis, precision, or state · how is it bounded?
SCHEMA
A schema hour or structural anchor, not a stopwatch.
TEXT ANCHOR
A textual clock, chime, schedule, or internally checkable synchronization.
RECON
A route or duration reconstruction rather than a textual minute.
WINDOW
A broad interval where sequence is firmer than the minute.
The project-wide licence remains owner-undecided; repository access does not imply a reuse grant.
Every quotation, image, font, map, download, and presentation object keeps item-level provenance, rights or licence, attribution, transformation, alternative text or description, jurisdiction, and release status.
Little Review scans remain evidence links rather than cleared embedded media.
One permissively licensed image does not license the surrounding page or repository.
A semantic report and listening edition with exact claim and source returns, plus versioned PDF downloads. The accepted status of the E01 source guide is not inherited.
Accepted in exact external identities but not imported or offered here. Any future delivery must keep the semantic companion, rights manifest, accessibility status, and known limits with the bundle; no standalone PDF.
planned · no public download
Frozen presenter masters
Dublin in Motion and How the Book Thinks remain frozen, external, and unsuitable as website substitutes.
Honest evidence
Accessibility status, not certification
Verified scope
Core content is present in server-rendered HTML.
Automated checks cover landmarks, registered routes, internal references, source maps, media records, and synthetic negative privacy fixtures.
Visual route material has ordered table, list, or prose equivalents.
Untested or incomplete
No formal accessibility conformance claim has been made.
Screen-reader, voice-control, real-device, 200% and 400% zoom, and empirical user testing remain unperformed.
Presentation PDFs are not claimed as PDF/UA-remediated or certified.
Public release
How to cite this public release

Name the page title and Ulysses: First Reader's Companion.

Do not cite this bounded release as complete or as a definitive edition.
Versioned lineage
Corrections stay visible
On 20 July 2026, the Hades stop-to-location prose crosswalk was corrected to match the governed structured route records before repository migration.
Operational page status now comes from the current public catalog; historical source overlays retain their original pre-repository fields without being silently rewritten.
Corrections require a versioned public projection and repository decision record. This site provides no public correction form or email channel.
OPEN · release boundary
Known limits
All eighteen episode guides are verified, deployed, and published within their separately bounded scopes. Twelve are owner-accepted; Aeolus, Lestrygonians, Scylla and Charybdis, Nausicaa, Oxen of the Sun, and Circe remain unaccepted R-024 public-review guides. No episode remains planned.
The Telemachus report, presentation, and Telemachiad synthesis are separately verified, deployed, published, and accepted under R-021. Their exact identities and limits remain governed independently of the E01 episode guide. Bloom's Morning is a distinct verified, deployed, published, and owner-accepted R-022B Stage 2 synthesis under the R-023 acceptance overlay.
Dublin 1904 and Book on Trial are bounded pilots rather than complete context or reception histories.
The synthesis claim and both dimensions retain accepted review status while remaining open to evidence-led revision. Their use of six verified, deployed, and published R-024 public-review guides does not make those guides owner-accepted.
This source does not claim an immutable v0.15.0 tag or its own Stage 2 artifact/live identity. Those identities are recorded separately after protected reconciliation; the exact protected Stage 1 artifact remains the predecessor evidence.
The canonical public release is served from https://hulkiokantabak.github.io/ulysses-first-reader/ through GitHub Pages; the private source repository and provider deployment identifiers remain outside the public artifact.
The application adds only namespaced p/t/ns query parameters and sends no body, credentials, or referrer; standard browser request headers still reach GoatCounter. Provider aggregation, optional individual-pageview recording, retention, and account settings remain provider-governed and are documented as unverified where applicable.
