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, nofollowmeta on every page (working reference, not marketing content).
