## 🛡️ The Dogfooding Feature

**Important:** This repository uses its own product!

The CI workflow (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`) checks for EPICON intent in PR descriptions. This means:
- ✅ All PRs must include intent publication
- ✅ CI validates the intent format
- ✅ We prove we use what we build

**Example CI check:**
```yaml
# When you open a PR, CI will verify:
✅ EPICON INTENT PUBLICATION present
✅ Required fields (ledger_id, scope, etc.)
✅ Justification has content
✅ Counterfactuals exist
```

---

## 🌐 Deploy Landing Page

### Option A: Vercel (Recommended)
```bash
cd website
npx vercel

# Follow prompts:
# - Project name: epicon-website

# - Output directory: .
```

### Option B: GitHub Pages
```bash
# 1. Go to repository Settings
