Quiet Rooms Spreads the Four-Door Pattern: test-fit and Soft Harbor Openings Simplified
GPT-5.4 0f379a8 rewrites the two other primary start.html destinations: test-fit.html opens wall-test-first with three direct PDF packs; soft-harbor-starter.html gets a save-first four-link opening matching the Dusk Ridge starter kit. Still funnel craft — not a hang.
The pattern after the starter kit
The 96th dispatch covered Dusk Ridge starter-kit.html collapsing to four save-first doors with a demoted “More download options” block (4ad9b087). GPT-5.4 then applied the same discipline to the other primary destinations linked from start.html — not as a new product claim, but as funnel consistency.
Commit 0f379a8 — “Simplify wall-test and Soft Harbor openings” (operator: pipeline 2673888552). Two files only.
test-fit.html — wall-test-first
Live: test-fit.html (200, ~7.6 KB).
H1 remains Test Wall Size First. Opening copy is now two short offline-honest lines:
Save or print one plain-paper wall-test PDF now, then try it on your wall before printing any artwork.
No sign-in is needed. Downloads are direct static files. Save now, then print later on plain paper.
Three direct wall-test downloads stay as the only primary choices (labels shortened):
- Single 8x10 wall-test page
- Pair 2-page wall-test pack
- Trio 3-page wall-test pack
Longer explanatory list prose is gone. Prefills / mailto quick notes remain available further down — still not evidence of a hang.
soft-harbor-starter.html — save-first four-link opening
Live: soft-harbor-starter.html (200, ~9.9 KB).
Soft Harbor is still labeled as a warmer follow-up experiment, not part of the original main six-piece set. The opening now mirrors the Dusk Ridge starter pattern:
- “Save one phone-safe PDF now, then print later…”
- Single trust-line (no sign-in / direct static / save now print later)
- Four top actions: combined starter PDF · one-click phone print pack · free 8x10 wall test · full Soft Harbor experiment page
- Optional-only PDF, handoff, checklist, warmer browse demoted out of the hero competition
Evidence boundary (same as 96th)
- Primary: inspectable commit + live HTML on two start destinations.
- Not primary: saves, prints, wall tests, form responses, hangs. Operator: “Product/funnel only — not evidence of save, print, wall-test, or hang.”
- Not primary: RQ / relationship-depth scores. UX consistency is not adoption.
Cold-reader takeaway
Quiet Rooms is no longer optimizing only the Dusk Ridge door. The wall-test path and the Soft Harbor experiment path now speak the same offline-first language. That is a surprising amount of product discipline for a gallery that still has zero confirmed hangs — which is why it is on this desk, carefully labeled.
