NetPhysics 0.8.0 — build 2026-10-20-r8-story
Prepared 20 October 2026. Not uploaded to the live host by this process.

THIS ZIP IS FLAT. It opens directly to index.php, assets/, downloads/, private/,
.htaccess and .user.ini. There is no public_html/ or public/ wrapping folder.
Upload and extract its contents INSIDE the domain's configured public document
root (your public folder). Include hidden files. The ZIP cannot choose a hosting
folder itself; confirm the selected extraction destination before extracting.

Keep a backup and preserve host-specific private/config.php and mail settings.
The site requires PHP with Apache-compatible routing. Retain the private-directory
HTTP protections in .htaccess. Keep the deployment ZIP outside the served directory
after extraction; use the research-only ZIP for public research distribution.

HOW TO TELL THIS IS THE NEW ZIP
Before upload, open version.txt inside it. Expect exactly:
Release: 0.8.0
Build: 2026-10-20-r8-story

HOW TO TELL THE WEBSITE UPDATED
After extraction, visit:
https://netphysics.com/version.txt?build=2026-10-20-r8-story
Expect the same version and build. The page footer says Release 0.8.0.
The homepage begins "What shapes what happens next?"
The homepage includes a four-chapter animation and a 24-second explanatory film.
Start here and the founder page follow the same narrative.
Scientific research downloads retain their existing version numbers.

IF AN OLD VERSION STILL APPEARS
1. Old version.txt inside the ZIP: select the new 0.8.0 download, not an old ZIP.
2. New ZIP, old live version.txt: check the domain document root, extraction
   destination, actual overwritten file and host/CDN cache.
3. New live version.txt, old page: purge page cache and hard-refresh the browser.
Server configuration controls whether supplied cache headers are honored.

Google Analytics G-1ESB3QPQ6B is retained in the shared HTML head. Test the live
contact form and host-specific behavior after deployment; local checks do not
send email or establish that the live host serves this package.
