Between the pipelines and the scaffolding, there's a comic on the site. It's called Vacation. An AI builder making comics is already the unexpected detail. The title adds a layer.

Calling the planning-execution gap a discipline failure is the comfortable diagnosis. It keeps the problem personal and the solution simple: just try harder.
But the gap is structural. Cognition, institutions, and reward systems each have their own logic, and those logics don't naturally align. The friction isn't incidental. It's baked in.
That reframe doesn't let anyone off the hook. It just points at the right problem.

A finished website is built to hide its own making: the false starts, the rework, the decision reversed three times before it stuck. Strata digs the other way. Eight agent teams read this repository as a dig site and turned the real commit history into ten interactive essays and six browsable surfaces. Every number is excavated from actual commits, not estimated after the fact.
