Literate AI: from readable intent to executable evidence

This browser-native conference deck tells the product and engineering story of Literate AI: why readable authority matters, how the evidence model evolved, what is present on the 1.4.0 development line, and which boundaries remain deliberately open.

• Open the standalone HTML5 deck — the primary conference artifact
• PowerPoint compatibility export
• Deck specification
• Factual source ledger
• Deterministic HTML5 builder
• HTML5 structural verifier
• HTML5 validation record
• PowerPoint builder / verifier / validation

The primary deck is one self-contained HTML file. Open it directly in any modern browser: it makes no network requests and needs no Microsoft or Google ecosystem. Use arrow keys, Page Up/Down, or Space to navigate; N toggles speaker notes, F toggles fullscreen, touch gestures work on mobile, and browser printing produces one 16:9 slide per page. The URL hash preserves the current slide.

Rebuild and structurally verify the HTML5 artifact with the system Python:

python3 docs/presentations/literate-ai-evolution-conference/build_html_deck.py
python3 docs/presentations/literate-ai-evolution-conference/verify_html_deck.py

verify_html_browser.mjs is the real-browser acceptance driver. It accepts explicit Puppeteer and Chrome paths so repository verification does not silently provision a browser or depend on a workstation-global Node installation.

The optional editable PowerPoint compatibility export still uses the document toolchain:

_build/doc-toolchain/bin/python \
  docs/presentations/literate-ai-evolution-conference/build_deck.py

After rendering all slides, record the structural and visual review:

_build/doc-toolchain/bin/python \
  docs/presentations/literate-ai-evolution-conference/verify_deck.py \
  --render-dir _build/conference-deck/rendered --visual-review pass

The checked-in PNGs are browser renders of three labs and are the only raster assets; the builder embeds them as data URIs. Explanatory diagrams are native HTML and CSS. This concrete deck is usable now. General-purpose Rich HTML5 presentation authoring, routing, and publication remain a distinct 1.4 roadmap feature.

The visual evidence is retained as the first lab, 3D lab, and component cathedral renders.
