Phase 1 · Inventory
Read the chats
Pulled every "fix this" from the Jun 19 to 20 Karen sessions, then checked each against the live page, not the local file.
Phase 2 · Triage + Fix
Find the real cause
The art was deployed and returning 200, so the break was in how the browser resolved the path. Fixed the path on every affected page and redeployed.
Phase 3 · Showcase
Prove it live
Re-screenshotted the live Vercel URL after the fix. This board ships permanently to drwu-htmls.vercel.app.
The Root Cause
Relative image paths broke under Vercel clean URLs
The cards were never missing. Every card file was deployed and returned 200 image/jpeg, byte-identical to local. The page just asked for them at the wrong address.
Your vercel.json sets cleanUrls: true and trailingSlash: false, so the page serves at /karen-two-row-reading-v2 with no trailing slash. A browser then resolves a relative src="cards/death.jpg" against the parent and requests /cards/death.jpg at the site root, where nothing exists.
Why it kept getting marked done. Opened locally as file://, the folder context is preserved, so the cards always rendered on this Mac. The break only showed on the live site. A local screenshot looked perfect, so the fix looked finished while the live page stayed blank.
The fix. Every card reference is now root-absolute, for example /karen-two-row-reading-v2/cards/death.jpg, which resolves correctly no matter how Vercel serves the URL.

The Honest Answer
The Big Kate Archive
Separate Findings
Not The Path Bug
| Page | What is actually wrong | Status |
|---|---|---|
| believeyoume-candidate-songs & -book | The lyrics/*.txt files (10 links) do not exist on disk, so the lyric links 404 even with correct paths. The notation images were the path bug and are fixed. | ● needs the lyric files |
| daughters-through-the-years | The photos/ are absent at every path, not a relative-path issue. The photo set was never deployed. | ● needs the photos |
| christian-books-dashboard | The covers/ images are absent at every path. Same shape, missing files rather than wrong paths. | ● needs the covers |
