The Six-Megabyte File Called min.js
A 6.23 MB JavaScript bundle loaded on every page, a manifest that minifies CSS but concatenates JS, and two copies of jQuery - the first of four frontend chapters the attendance series skipped.

Validation Theatre
The platform bundled a client-side validation framework - one file of it twice - and wired none of it, hand-stitching every real check inside modal callbacks with manual error classes and keyup character counters.
CSS by Accretion
A sequel stylesheet four times the size of the original, a sheet per screen, six copied tour themes, and a modal built as one inline HTML string - what a naming convention and a tokens file actually earn.
Where JavaScript Goes Without a Module System
A 40-line entry script that is entirely commented out, thirty-one views carrying inline script blocks, a 2,904-line page file, and @section as the only architecture - the addendum's closing ledger.
