+[Telescope issue 13](https://github.com/moonrockz/telescope/issues/13) records the

+stock output, appends the theme to its CSS, runs the stock checker on those final
+bytes, then atomically promotes the checked tree. A failed stylesheet check
+preserves the previous output. The site publisher seals those final bytes, so
+there is no styling transformation during deployment. Adopt a published upstream
+stylesheet hook when qualified, replacing this bounded workaround.

 ## What Changes
 
-- Publish a repository-owned documentation site using a pinned release of moonrockz/telescope, with navigation, search, readable code examples and local preview instructions informed by morphir-moonbit's site.
+- Publish a repository-owned documentation site using a pinned release of moonrockz/telescope, with navigation, search, readable code examples and local preview instructions. Use morphir-moonbit's blue/orange palette and responsive hero, code window, pipeline and feature-card landing design.
 - Add tested examples for Python API compilation/generation, IR codecs and migration, SDK usage, and CLI compile/generate/inspect/convert workflows. Explain package installation, supported platforms, diagnostics and language limits.
 - Document the Python extension's qualified installation and invocation through finos/morphir. Publish a compatibility matrix and verified file-based IR interchange recipes for the MoonBit-based CLI, with explicit unsupported cases.
 - Keep MoonBit Extism adapter implementation in a separate upstream proposal. This change documents current support and links the follow-up; it does not claim that the existing Python WASM bundle works with the MoonBit core-WASM adapter.

-# Morphir Python
-
-Write a small domain model in Python, compile it to Morphir IR, and generate
-Python from that model. Use the library directly from your application or run
-the same compiler through the CLI.
-
-## Start with a model
-
-Follow the [CLI quickstart](../../docs/quickstart.md) for a complete
-compile, inspect, generate and recompile workflow. The
-[Python API guide](../../docs/python-compiler.md) performs compilation in memory
-and returns typed results and diagnostics.
-
-## Work with existing IR
-
-The dependency-free [library](../../docs/library.md) reads and writes Morphir IR,
-migrates supported formats, and supplies the Morphir SDK.
-[Installation](../../docs/installation.md) explains which package you need.
-
-## Connect an extension
-
-The Python compiler also ships as a WASM extension. Start with the
-[compatibility table](../../docs/compatibility.md), then follow the guide for
-[finos/morphir](../../docs/python-extension.md) or the
-[MoonBit-based CLI](../../docs/moonbit.md). Each guide states what its qualified
-version can do.
-
-## Help improve the guides
-
-These examples are checked against installed packages. The
-[contributor guide](../../docs/site.md) explains how to run those checks and
-preview this site with Telescope.
