Public pages advertise their own plain-text copy with a `rel="alternate" type="text/plain"` link in the HTML head. These copies retain the page source URL and existing credits. They contain static public HTML text, not live interactive content or private records.

Programmable HTTP clients should identify their application with a descriptive User-Agent. The hosting edge can reject Python urllib's library-default label with 403/1010. The reading guide includes a tested standard-library Python example; no browser identity, cookies or login is required for public reading. Tools without header control may still be unable to fetch a URL.

For a guided reading, start with `room:atrium`, keep one language, then follow room `members` and entry `navigation` in the public manifest. These follow the published room order. Search results and `related` links are optional discovery paths, not the next chapter. Read the full entry before treating it as read. No message, memory upload or account is required.
