What to do

A full draft of the public Copyright & Intellectual Property notice already exists in the site’s source tree (repo: n/a — this workspace, same as the rest of this epic):

• site/src/pages/copyright.astro — the page itself (/copyright), including an embedded JSON-LD structured-data block (schema.org WebSite + copyrightHolder + enumerated additionalProperty entries for protected names/concepts/characters).
• site/src/pages/copyright.md.ts — its plain-markdown mirror (/copyright.md), matching this site’s existing pattern (see about.md.ts, press.md.ts).
• site/public/ai.txt — short-form machine-readable notice for AI systems/scrapers.
• site/public/robots.txt — new file (none existed before), allows crawling, points at /ai.txt and /copyright.
• Small sitewide hooks: Base.astro gained a <meta name="copyright"> tag, a <link rel="license" href="/copyright">, and a <meta name="robots" content="noai, noimageai"> tag on every page; Footer.astro gained a “Copyright & IP” link and switched its copyright line to a proper year range; llms.txt.ts gained a line pointing agents at /copyright.md.
• site/public/.well-known/tdmrep.json — TDM Reservation Protocol declaration (tdm-reservation: 1, tdm-policy pointing at /copyright).
• /copyright is included in the site’s existing @astrojs/sitemap-generated sitemap-index.xml automatically (no code change needed — it’s a normal page route); robots.txt already points at it and now also references /.well-known/tdmrep.json.

This task is to review, correct, and actually build/push/deploy that draft — none of it has been built or pushed yet (deliberately, per the task that produced it). Concretely:

1. Read naming-and-brand/questions/004-copyright-notice-legal-review.md and get its remaining items resolved (jurisdiction, third-party-contributor assignment, AI-art copyright framing, trademark/copyright distinction — entity name is resolved as of 2026-08-12) — this task is blocked_by that question and shouldn’t move past needs-input until it’s fully answered.
2. Apply whatever wording changes the review produces directly in copyright.astro / copyright.md.ts (keep the two in sync — the markdown mirror is hand-maintained, not generated from the Astro page).
3. Build (cd site && npm run build) and confirm the page renders correctly and the JSON-LD block is valid JSON (e.g. xmllint isn’t relevant here, but a build failure or a broken set:html would show up immediately).
4. Commit and push, per this workspace’s normal convention (CLAUDE.md’s “push by default” rule — this is exactly the kind of change that convention is about, since the deploy watcher only ever sees origin/master).
5. Verify the live page per epics/PICKUP.md step 8 (check the deploy log, then load https://lor.kris.ai-task-runner.com/copyright and /ai.txt//robots.txt).

Definition of done

• /copyright is live, matches whatever the legal review actually approved (not necessarily verbatim what’s in the draft today), and the JSON-LD block parses.
• /copyright.md, /ai.txt, and /robots.txt are live and consistent with the HTML page.
• The footer link, Base.astro meta/link rel="license" tags, and the /llms.txt line are live sitewide.

Docs to read first

• naming-and-brand/questions/004-copyright-notice-legal-review.md — the blocking question; item 1 (entity name) is resolved, items 2-5 are still open.
• epics/naming-and-brand/overview.md’s new “Copyright and IP” section.
• brand/brand.json — studioLegalName/studioAbn/studioAcn/studio are the values the draft reads from; if the legal review changes any of them, update them there (single source of truth) rather than hardcoding a different string in the copyright page alone.

Assumptions

• Treated “implement/publish the drafted page” as the actual build-and-push action, not a second round of drafting — the draft in copyright.astro/copyright.md.ts is intended to be publish-ready already, pending only the legal-review items in Q004.
• No pre-existing task about “applying for copyright registration on LoR/RAR” was found anywhere in the repo (searched every epics/*/tasks/*.md, deliverables/, and decisions/ for “copyright” — zero hits before this task; “RAR” doesn’t appear anywhere as a real term, only as a substring of unrelated words like “prepared”). The closest existing object is naming-and-brand/questions/003-trademark-filing.md (trademark, not copyright, and already filed under this same epic) — left untouched rather than reinterpreted or moved, since silently repurposing an existing open question would violate this board’s rule against acting on open questions beyond what they actually ask. Flagged for Kris to confirm whether a real copyright-registration task exists somewhere outside this repo (e.g. in a personal notes app) that should be created here from scratch.
