## Question

Can several coding agents work on one site safely, with every change checked and previewed before it is merged?

## What we did

One repository holds the site and the shared agent instructions. Each change runs on its own branch, passes TypeScript and build checks, and gets a protected preview before merging.

## Evidence

| Observed | Establishes |
| --- | --- |
| Branch push built a ready deployment from Git | Git integration works |
| TypeScript and build passed in CI | Checks pass on that revision |
| Merge to main deployed again | Main-branch path works |
| Anonymous request sent to sign-in | Preview protection active |


## Not established

A full accessibility audit, future uptime or any business outcome. Subscription cost so far: zero; the domain charge is unconfirmed.
