## Portfolio Guide

The website's public chat guide runs through a narrowly scoped Cloudflare Worker and the SEA-LION API. It grounds answers on this public `llms.txt` file, limits input and conversation history, rate-limits requests, and links answers back to public portfolio or project sources. The website itself remains hosted on GitHub Pages; no private employer or client data is included in the guide.
