A living portfolio should behave like a proof file

A short note on why this site is built as a public proof archive instead of a polished one-page resume.

A portfolio is only useful if it helps a serious person decide what to believe.

That means it needs links, dates, status labels, receipts, and restraint. A thin site with big claims is worse than no site at all. The point of A Salty Vet is to make the work legible without pretending every private build is ready for public inspection.

Some pages will say [VERIFY]. Good. That is not weakness. That is the site refusing to lie.
