Concept variant: instrument archive homepage

[corwinm]

Concept

A more technical, tangible, scan-first evolution of #12’s Specimen Library direction.

Instrument Archive keeps the cream paper, precise rules, serif/sans contrast, accession-number spirit, and restrained gallery credibility. It replaces generic decorative objects with project-specific operation plates and presents every project at once rather than hiding the collection behind a selector.

Positioning under review

• Primary line: Tools for the work around the work.
• Treats each project as a working instrument with operations, use notes, technologies, and direct links.
• Uses the canonical project data and provides a safe fallback when a future project has no custom operation plate yet.

Review notes

This is an exploratory draft. The Netlify deploy preview renders the concept directly at its root URL. It is not intended to merge as-is.

The page intentionally includes noindex,nofollow for preview review. A production implementation would omit or environment-gate that directive.
