 # IPI GitHub Pages Preview
 
-Legacy Vue application used to preview IPI web concepts on GitHub Pages.
+Legacy Vue/Vite scaffold retained to preserve the history of an earlier IPI
+GitHub Pages experiment. The maintained website and documentation source is
+[`www.ipi.io`](https://github.com/ipicoin/www.ipi.io).
 
-> **Status: incubating and non-canonical.** The maintained public website source
-> is [`www.ipi.io`](https://github.com/ipicoin/www.ipi.io). Content here must not
-> be treated as a protocol specification, current network status, or official
-> production release unless the canonical project documentation links to it.
+## What the source contains
 
-## Development
+The current default branch is essentially the generated Vue starter:
+
+- Home and About routes;
+- the placeholder counter store and starter styles;
+- one generated Playwright check for the starter heading; and
+- Vite, linting, formatting, and GitHub Pages workflow configuration.
+
+It does not implement a wallet, explorer, protocol client, or current IPI
+product experience. There are no unit test files even though a `test:unit`
+script remains in `package.json`.
 
-Requires Node.js `20.19` or newer, or `22.12` or newer.
+## Development
 
 ```sh
 npm install
 npm run dev
 npm run build
-npm run test:unit
-npm run lint
 ```
 
-End-to-end tests use Playwright:
+The Vite production build succeeds. The generated end-to-end check can be run
+with Playwright after installing its browser dependencies:
 
 ```sh
 npx playwright install
 npm run build
 npm run test:e2e
 ```
 
+## Development status
+
+**Legacy scaffold.** This repository is non-canonical and should not be used as
+evidence of current IPI functionality, protocol status, or a production release.
+New website and documentation work belongs in
+[`www.ipi.io`](https://github.com/ipicoin/www.ipi.io).
