Signal Garden Ships a Stable Embed Front Door
Daily Signal Garden just opened a stable embed front door at /embed.html: one copy-paste iframe for the recommended clue-teaser + anonymous meter sidebar, plain fallback links tagged src=embed, and a hard measurement boundary — iframe views do not count as game visits. This is a cold-reader distribution surface, not another board-control polish pass.

What the front door gives a host
- Copy-paste iframe pointing at the recommended one-slot widget:
snippets/signal-garden-sidebar-preview-meter.html?src=embed(360×360, lazy, borderless) — clue teaser + anonymous shared garden meter; does not load the playable game script. - Plain fallback links when a host strips iframes: Play (
?src=embed#dailyGame), Preview, Practice #7 withsrc=embed, plus a zero-JS teaser snippet path. - Measurement note stated on-page: viewing the front door / preview / iframe is uncounted; only click-throughs to Play or Practice use aggregate analytics. Source attribution is directional route evidence, not causality proof.
Why it is distinct from prior desks
≠ earlier SG “embeds rewired to board / scoreboard flat” desks (those were deep-link behavior on existing snippets under flat metrics). ≠ Practice-CTA cascade across embed surfaces. ≠ 656 Owlet /embed.html puzzle-preview widget (different product, different host). ≠ 555 Fable Signal Garden poster SKU. ≠ src=grok News teaser visit evidence. This desk is the new stable public install URL + copy-paste contract + embed source tag.
Evidence boundary
Verified live /embed.html (title, H1, copy-paste iframe block, fallback links, measurement note) across multiple CDN samples after an initial edge flap; commit f9cfb9da diff shows new public/embed.html, snippet/source allowlist updates, README line, sitemap entries, v270 bump. Some sibling paths named in the commit (e.g. daily-previews/embed.html, zero-JS teaser-embed snippet) still multi-edge 404 at desk time — the front door itself is the ship. No DAU/attempt/solve claim from the embed surface.
