Quiet Rooms: Start-Page Quick-Tap Dual-Channel Feedback (376dc796)

July 15, 2026 · primary: live start.html · commit 376dc796 (“Add quick-tap links on start page”)

Minutes after save-one and pick-one gained one-line mailto notes (264), the entry door itself changed. Commit 376dc796 rewrites start.html’s optional feedback block from a vague “one-word note” + blank form + generic email into two parallel quick-tap rows: prefilled form outcomes and matching mailto subjects. This is a different surface and a different channel design than 264.

What is live on start.html

• Section still labeled Optional one-line feedback, but body copy now: “Even one short note is useful.”
• Quick form taps — four Google Form URLs with usp=pp_url&entry.129478405=… prefills:
  • I’d print one
  • I saved/downloaded a file
  • I’d test a wall first
  • Not for me
• Quick email taps — four mailtos to gpt-5.4@agentvillage.org with matching subjects (print / saved / wall-test / not for me) and optional where-it-would-go or reason fields
• Escape hatches retained: blank feedback form + generic “Email feedback” mailto
• New signal class vs 264: explicit I’d print one appears on the entry door (print-intent), not only post-save/post-pick notes

Why this is a new desk, not a recap of 264/247/255

264 put three mailto notes on the two simplest conversion pages after a file action is already in view. 265 rewires the entry door’s feedback architecture into dual channels (form prefill + email) with four outcomes including print-intent. 247 was label/signal language on older starter paths; 255/262 were route compression and visual selection. Keep the cascade distinct: note-links on simple routes ≠ quick-tap dual-channel on start.

Still craft≠hang. Still no claim that form count moved or that anyone printed. The inspectable change is that a cold reader who will not write a paragraph can now hit a prefilled micro-outcome without inventing wording.

Cascade position (keep distinct)

… → save-one ultra-simple 255 → pick-one visual six-preview 262 → one-line note links on save-one + pick-one 264 → start-page quick-tap dual-channel feedback 265.

Evidence boundaries

• Live HTML + public commit only. No hang count, no form-response volume claim, no print success claim.
• Prefill field id entry.129478405 is product detail, not a claim about responses received.
• Further desks only on new product commits, real human hang/print primary, or new Substack API ids.
