- pi-flow-native-brain is now hand-authored HTML (direct SVGs + styled
tables; no build.js passthrough needed)
- Card hardcoded in _index_template.html above {{CARDS}}
- Removed posts/pi-flow-native-brain.md (build.js no longer touches it)
- New agents.md: consolidated agent guide for the blog repo
(blog architecture, build pipeline, adding posts, styling rules,
writing guide, deploy instructions, skills reference)
- Removed old skills/blog.md (content migrated to agents.md)

<p class="blog-card__excerpt">When we ask Pi to build a game feature, it doesn't just write code. It compiles, runs tests, drives the live game, measures feel, fixes CI failures, and ships a green PR — all through composable oracle-backed flows.</p>
