source_refs: entities/site/record.md, README.md, docs/beginner-onboarding.md, user request on 2026-03-13 to make the homepage outside-facing and markdown-backed, .hermit/review/homepage-body-proof.txt

Summary

The homepage should act like a product front door first and an explorer index second.

Key Messages

Hermit builds a working application inside one repo instead of hiding state behind a SaaS backend.
The same workspace holds roles, records, workflows, UI, and runtime behavior.
Visitors can inspect not just the product story, but also the internal process that improves it.
The first proof section should use this repo's website bootstrap as the concrete walkthrough, showing the role, records, and inside view as inspectable evidence.

Open Questions

How much of the concrete repo walkthrough should stay on the homepage versus move into /inside.
