unlikely.place — Jurisdiction Matrices by Branch

Public static site presenting the third-party inspection jurisdiction research as a general branch reference — where each jurisdiction accepts third-party / engineer inspections, for any inspection on any permit (current or overdue). One subdomain per branch. (Research originated in the Overdue Permit Task Force sessions 2026-08-08, but the site is deliberately framed as a general reference, per Dustin — reword 523a35e.)

Architecture

  • Domain: unlikely.place (Hostinger, registered 2026-08-08, expires 2027-08-08)
  • DNS: Hostinger zone (apollo/athena.dns-parking.com) — apex + www + six branch A records → 72.61.12.199, managed via Hostinger DNS API
  • Repo: /opt/unlikely-place (local git)
    • src/{slug}.md — canonical copies of the six branch matrices (BALT/MAN/RIC/VB/ROAN/WVA *_3P_INSPECTION_MATRIX_2026-08-08.md)
    • build.py — pandoc (gfm→html5) + branded shell; wraps tables in horizontal-scroll containers, strips md h1 (hero replaces it)
    • assets/place.css — unlikely.style design system (Crimson Pro / Source Sans 3 / JetBrains Mono, cream fffff8, dark bands, data-table rules)
    • dist/ — output; Caddy serves it directly
  • Caddy: 7 vhosts (apex+www block, six subdomain blocks), auto-TLS HTTP-01, gzip, 5-min cache headers. Backup at Caddyfile.bak-unlikely-place.
  • robots: noindex, nofollow meta on every page (working reference, not marketing content).

  • overdue-permit-task-force — the tracker this research serves
  • unlikely-style — brand system the site implements
  • Index page explains status glyphs (● Named / ◆ Allowed / ◇ Unpublished; WV uses ■ Enforced / □ Permit-only / ○ None) and VERIFIED/SNIPPET/INFERRED verification labels
