The public site only had the in-app grimoire (behind the ✦ overlay); there was no
shareable, linkable user manual. build_manual.py extracts the grimoire (the canon,
per CLAUDE.md) + its styles from viz/index.html into a self-contained, always-
visible page with a generated 27-section table of contents and a 'play the
instrument →' back-link. Single source → no drift; re-run after editing the grimoire.
Served at godstrument.pro/manual.html (docroot is viz/). Verified: renders as a
normal page (overlay/close-button overridden away), TOC anchors resolve, all
feature sections present (zero, OMNI panel, vibes, dimensions), console clean.
Also refine the deploy convention: exclude dev docs/scripts (CLAUDE.md, README,
ZERO_OMNI_BRIEF.md, GODSTRUMENT_MANUAL_SOURCE.md, godstrument.txt, build_manual.py,
tests) so working notes never land on the public box.
