Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~30 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to This change adds the Skip page, redirects /chief, and publishes a time-sensitive launch article. It is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up for a localized Stylelint issue and corrections to launch copy and currently unavailable evidence links; no broader product or runtime risk is indicated.

Requests to the previously published /chief/og.png URL now match this wildcard and receive /skip HTML rather than an image. Existing social metadata and cached shares explicitly reference that legacy asset, so a crawler refreshing the image gets an invalid content type and loses the preview; preserve an image-specific redirect from /chief/og.png to /skip/og.png before the catch-all.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Use the measured revocation timing.
Line 33 says the agent failed “Seconds later,” but Line 35 says it was “blocked immediately.” State the observed timing consistently. Also replace “my agent when trying” with a complete sentence.

-Seconds later my agent when trying to do the same commands didn't succeed because of the revocation.
+Seconds later, my agent tried the same commands and failed because of the revocation.
-This is the way it should be: a foreign agent when allowed can cook in your repo but if you suddenly want to revoke permission that same agent is blocked immediately.

Align the revocation count with the narrative.
The article describes one certificate revocation in Lines 33-35, but Line 37 says “both revocations.” Describe the second revocation or change the text to “the revocation.”
