  "body": [
    "PointCast Chartmaker is live as a visual source lab for data that would otherwise sit behind separate routes and feeds. It presents ten chart directions for the day, five remix prompts, and a catalog of sources that can become boards, comparisons, or timelines.",
    "The human page is paired with /chartmaker.json so software agents can inspect the same source catalog and generated packet without scraping the interface. The related /chart and /chart.json routes continue to publish one deterministic chart of the day from the PointCast ledger.",
    "Chartmaker is exploratory: it helps a visitor choose a useful visual treatment and inspect the ingredients. It does not present browser-local experiments or third-party sources as audited research."
