The Dark Provenance book is shelved for now. Per Scott: remove the book reference, keep the dark provenance idea. This commit removes the book artifact references — the cards, the waitlist CTAs, the Book schema entry, the SharedForm waitlist message — but does not touch the underlying concept. The 'dark provenance' idea continues to live in: - /blog/the-taste-problem (dark-factory series post #5) - /blog/spec-first-audit-surface (existing) - the Speckl project card on /about - the Speckl knowsAbout / project references in the SEO schema Cover SVG at public/images/book-cover-dark-provenance.svg is intentionally kept; un-shelving the book is a one-line restore across the four pages when Scott calls it back. Removed: - src/pages/books.astro: full 'Dark Provenance' coming-soon card with cover, waitlist CTA, and mailto link - src/pages/index.astro: 'Dark Provenance' book card on homepage - src/pages/about.astro: 'Dark Provenance' book card in published-books grid - src/components/SEO.astro: @type: Book schema entry - src/components/Form/SharedForm.astro: 'we'll let you know when Dark Provenance is available' waitlist success message (was unreachable; form is only rendered with type=speaking or type=contact) Build: 40 pages, 2.8s, clean. No remaining 'Dark Provenance' string in src/.

Scott Scoble is a builder, writer, and speaker focused on the human side of AI systems.
|
|
He's the author of <em>The Soil Beneath the Code</em> and <em>A Walk in Mentoring</em>,
|
|
and creator of Speckl — a compile-time provenance layer for regulated industries.
|
|
He advises engineering leaders on how to build AI systems that cultivate human capability
|
|
instead of strip-mining it.
