A purpose needs its evidence

A Project card should say what the work is, and a clipped detail preview should keep each cited original reachable without making the reader hunt.

The Home page showed a Project name and a recent finding, but sometimes the name was a folder label rather than a description of the work. A reader could learn what changed without knowing what the Project was for. The written page already had a short, cited purpose. Bringing that purpose into the changed Project card gives the finding a frame of reference; the card still keeps the finding as a separate statement.

The detail page had the reverse problem. Its purpose preview was useful and compact, but on a phone the two-line clamp could hide the source link at the end of the sentence. The large View sources action remained available lower in the same first screen, yet the citation was no longer next to the claim. The purpose's existing citations now appear as individual links beside the displayed purpose. When there is no supported current finding, that purpose leads the page once instead of being repeated. A long purpose starts as a three-line preview with an expansion control, while Full memory retains the complete wording. The page does not invent a source or claim that those citations have been independently audited.

In one private Project sample, three 44-pixel citation links opened three distinct source dialogs on both a 375-pixel phone and a 1440-pixel desktop. The phone's main source action still fit in the first 812 pixels, including an invented longer Project page. The Home card offered a 44-pixel route to the detail page and its sources. We also gave the desktop privacy control the same 44-pixel target already used on a phone. This was a reader check on one written Project, not a new investigation or an audit of every Project claim. The preview notes state the measured scope.
