Changes

• Remove the Pip homepage card, navigation link, standalone route, metadata, sitemap entry, and Pip-specific assets and build tooling.
• Retire /pip and /pip.html to the existing 404, retain shared image-loading coverage, and verify exported internal links.

Verification

• npm run lint
• npm run test:pond
• npm run test:e2e (34 tests, including internal-link integrity)
• Inspected the homepage at 320, 390, and 1440px with reduced motion.

Review notes. npm ci, npm audit --audit-level=high, lint, build, test:pond and the full e2e suite (33 tests) all pass locally, and /pip and /pip.html 404 cleanly. Some leftovers:

1. .agents/skills/site-verification/SKILL.md:10,12,13 still tells agents to run npm run test:pip (removed), lists /pip as a sitemap entry, checks out/pip.html, and points at lib/pip.ts. Agents following it will fail or put Pip back.
2. These screenshots are orphaned and still committed, with nothing referencing them: docs/screenshots/homepage-pip-desktop.png, homepage-pip-mobile.png, pip-button-detail.png, pip-desktop.png, pip-mobile.png.
3. .gitignore:24 has a leftover /public/qr/ entry. It was only there for the removed scripts/generate-pip-qr.mjs.
4. components/concepts/signal-desk/signal-desk.module.css:115-116, 786-787, 884-885: removing the .pipNavLink rules left runs of blank lines.
5. Coverage: test_image_error_clears_the_skeleton_and_shows_the_qr_fallback went with the QR panel. The new homepage SkulletImageTests (tests/browser/browser_test.py:1951) cover the delayed, complete and failed-chunk cases, but not an image error clearing the skeleton. It's worth porting that case to the avatar.
6. Optional: review-previews/** (ui-stack docs/logs, site-pass-2026-10-23, manifest) still has a lot of Pip material, including QR and social-card artefacts. It isn't deployed.

Merge note: this conflicts with #68 (app/pip/page.tsx, components/pip/pip-feature.tsx modify/delete, plus app/routes.tsx and tests/browser/browser_test.py). I'd suggest landing this first and rebasing #68.

Addressed points 1–5 in fdf4e70: updated site-verification guidance, removed the five orphaned screenshots and QR ignore rule, cleaned up CSS whitespace, and added an avatar image-error skeleton regression test. I left review-previews/** intact as historical, non-deployed review evidence. The reported #68 integration overlap remains for coordination; no merge was performed.
