nika.sh v4.8 · the spec machine

The language reference becomes an instrument you read with. /spec splits into a measured ledger and a sticky rail where the whole language stands as one concentric machine: the four-verb core, the plan ring, the gate collar, the tool belt, the fetch manifold, the provider halo, the containment shell — every block derived from the spec canon, spoken in the site's wire-blue ink.

The reading assembles it: each section you cross ignites its stratum, the TOC ticks fill, and the HUD keeps the tally until the whole contract stands lit, one full revolution later. Every node answers the pointer — hover reads it out, click lands on its row — and every chip, stamp cell and TOC pill lights its block back.

Phones, reduced motion and no-WebGL keep a designed 2D floor plan of the same machine, lit by the same reading. The optional envelope keys and task controls fold behind native disclosures, and a counted drift dies: chart and image_fx take their real families, the family count derives forever.

The arc: #105 (the spine) · #108 (the machine) · #110 (the wiring) · #111 (the gate + the close). Two /spec frames join the visual gate on both OSes.
