What changed

• Added the complete pre-meeting discussion entry, metadata, summary, idea map, references, action items, and generated HTML pages.
• Added the 30-slide presentation.html with only the CSS, runtime, and five paper images it directly needs.
• Rebuilt the homepage, discussion archive, people page, tag index, and sitemap.
• Kept the local Markdown report outline and unused overview images out of the pull request.

Why

This publishes the 2026-07-20 literature discussion and organizes the topic around four generation interfaces: holistic joint denoising, shot-level autoregression, causal streaming, and system-level directing.
