- serve/webdocs/cli default to base_path='' (own subdomain, root serving) - webdocs link builder handles the empty base like web.py already did - all docs, paper, notebook 06b, and published-mirror README point at https://ltl.zkdefi.org; DEPLOY.md rewritten for subdomain + redirect - tests: root mount is the production shape; one test keeps exercising the path-mounted variant Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
