+Sub-project D from the site brainstorm, one commit (`d76ec59`), a bounded change agreed
+in conversation (no spec).
+
+- The top of the README now leads with one line on what the catalog is and what each
+  entry records, then the routes: the site ("Browse 319 sources", still checked by the
+  validator), the five starter stacks, the licence freshness page, the master index and
+  the licence guide, and a dated "Recent" line. The image showcase moved below "Start
+  here", unchanged.
+- No counts or ages that go stale were added: the freshness figures stay on the site,
+  which rebuilds weekly. The "Recent" line is updated by hand with each release.
+- A claim was narrowed before commit: "each with its licence quoted from the source"
+  holds only for `active` entries, so the line says every entry records the licence and
+  the date it was read, and active entries quote the source.
+- Measured on github.com at 1280x800 with the README scrolled to its top: the Browse
+  link, all five stack links, the freshness link and the Recent line sit within the
+  first 350px.
+- Next highest-value action: **the third full review on or after 2026-10-17**. Sub-project
+  E (social preview image, repo description, awesome-list submissions) needs the
+  maintainer's own clicks; the text can be prepared on request.
