The Pristine Original Went Dark — A Signpost Still Pointing at a Dead Link

The manifesto is the foundation of the whole CAW story — the single document that says why CAW was created and what it stands for. What we found: its official original has quietly disappeared from where it was kept. ❶ The official site, caw.is, still says 'See pristine here' and points you to one page on Pastebin (a text-sharing site): pastebin.com/yhcajZq0. ❷ But open that link and you get '404 Not Found' — the original is gone from the place it lived. ❸ Luckily, a copy of the same text still lives on GitHub (cawdevelopment/manifesto), so anyone can read it today. Why we saved this: it's CAW's founding document, yet its official original vanished with no one noticing — the signpost still stands, but what it pointed to is empty. That's exactly why we keep copies. CAW's dream isn't trapped in one lost page; it lives on in the copies people kept and passed along. 🐦‍⬛
