Summary

Every current thirdshift video on YouTube is now Public, so /videos/ lists all seven.

 /videos/  (audience · length)

  • Each new entry has a self-hosted 1280×720 title card (site/videos/<id>.jpg), in the same style as the others.
  • "thirdshift, in plain terms" is v3: its seventh scene keeps one limit and then shows what helps get the work right (tests first, reported problems tested before they're fixed or set aside, anything unfixed listed in the draft with a reason). v2 (8ed8VWABqy0) is now Unlisted.
  • The page's copy changes to match: "Five" becomes "Seven" in the description and framing, and the eyebrow now reads "from half a minute to about four".
  • The homepage's "Videos explain it in under four minutes" becomes "in a few minutes", since the new video is 4:11.
  • The test's videos list gains both entries.

Evidence

  • Before: /videos/ showed five videos. "thirdshift, in plain terms" and the Pocock workflow video were Public on YouTube but not listed.
    After: cd site && npm test passes all 36 tests. The video-page tests cover the seven entries in order, each title card's 200 response and alt text, nothing loaded from YouTube until play, keyboard play, and no horizontal overflow at 320, 390 and 1280 px.

Merge Danger

Door: two-way

Static HTML, two JPEGs and a test list; a revert restores the five-video page.

Blast Radius: small

Only /videos/ and one homepage sentence change. The page is longer, but it still loads nothing from YouTube until a reader plays a video.

Seven videos now: "thirdshift, in plain terms" for leaders who don't code
(8ed8VWABqy0) after the 31-second cut, and "How thirdshift uses Matt
Pocock's workflow" for engineers (2sQOQG4lGDE, #882) before the tutorial,
each with a self-hosted title card. The page's counts, description and
length range, and the homepage's "under four minutes", follow.

v3 replaces the second limit ("no check guarantees the work is right")
with what helps get the work right: tests first, reported problems tested
before they're fixed or set aside, and anything unfixed listed in the
draft with a reason. It's a new YouTube upload (fvOQMY_PuxQ, 1:52); v2 is
now Unlisted. The title card is unchanged, renamed to the new ID.
