Publish vocabulary-estimation Articles 1–4

[jamiepratt]

Summary

• Publish Articles 1–4 as a coherent vocabulary-estimation curriculum: agent management, product purpose, Bayesian foundations, and Proposal 1.
• Add same-origin previous/next navigation, a five-article roadmap, responsive contents controls, accessible help/code/equation controls, and refreshed listing/OG previews.
• Keep the learner-facing lemma destination distinct from the current lemma–surface-form-pair research target and from the scorer deployed at LexiBench.
• Ref: Publish the series-purpose article and shared navigation contract theory-to-algorithm-workflow#23, Rebuild the Bayes introduction around four executable simulations theory-to-algorithm-workflow#24, Refocus Article 1 on managing brilliant but uneven agents theory-to-algorithm-workflow#25, Reframe Proposal 1 around one non-adaptive learner attempt theory-to-algorithm-workflow#26, Review, validate, and publish revised Articles 1–4 theory-to-algorithm-workflow#27.

Model validation

• N/A: this PR publishes explanations and demonstrations; it does not promote a model.
• Article 3 labels its vocabulary bridge as a teaching model, not learner validation.
• Article 4 preserves Proposal 1's versioned contract/reference evidence and labels it as the current research target, not the deployed scorer.

Software tests

• Clojure: 45 tests, 395 assertions, all passing.
• ClojureScript: 26 tests, 107 assertions, all passing.
• Historical evidence and scorer hashes remain unchanged.

Publication checks

• Four configured targeted Clay + Quarto renders passed.
• Final full-site gate passed: quarto render site (used because changed preview images affect listing/OG output).
• Listing cards and OG images verified for all four articles.
• Browser verification passed at desktop, 768×1024, and 390×844: same-origin navigation, no horizontal overflow, mobile contents drawer, accessible labels, Article 3 interactions, and light/dark contrast.
• Console contained only the expected GoatCounter localhost warning.
• Human editorial review of Articles 1–4 approved on 2026-07-17.

Publication path audit

• Authored article changes are confined to src/language_learning/vocabulary_estimation/**.
• Outside the configured authored-source namespace, changes are limited to vocabulary-specific resources under resources/language_learning/vocabulary_estimation/** and vocabulary-specific tests under test/language_learning/vocabulary_estimation/**.
• No global Civitas configuration or unrelated contributor paths changed.
