 # narrative-interface-system
 
-Test
+Narrative Interface System is the evolution of my personal landing page codebase into a reusable, section-driven foundation. It keeps the proven landing experience intact today while treating every section (hero, timeline, skills, projects, learning, contact) as a composable building block.
 
-Next: **Interface & Narrative Toolkit**  
-**Bucket 1 – Personal Landing**
+This repo is where I harden the data contracts, layout shell, and Contentful mapping patterns that will power future narrative surfaces. The current deployment still serves the personal site, but each change aims to make the same system ready for additional pages without rewriting the core.

+These checkpoints document the shift from the original my-landing-page-2026 build into the Narrative Interface System: one library of narrative sections, Contentful mappings, and layout patterns that can be reused across multiple surfaces. Each entry notes how the landing page stays stable while the underlying system becomes more modular and multi-surface ready

 1. Add JSON-LD Person schema for better "name & profile" recognition.
 2. Wire lightweight analytics (e.g., GA4) for page + scroll tracking.
 3. Add a CI job (GitHub Actions) to run `npm run lint` + `npm run build` before Netlify deploys.

+This status now tracks the transition from a shipped personal landing page into the Narrative Interface System foundation. Phase 9 locked the single-page experience; current work focuses on solidifying the section contracts, layout shell, and Contentful mapping so the same codebase can support future surfaces.
