What does this PR change?

maya.scenario.com becomes a handbook for the people who use the plug-in, like the Photoshop and Blender sites: a contents column with each chapter's sub-sections, search, light and dark, a "how it works" strip under the hero, and an offline single-file handbook. A new docs/USER_GUIDE.md holds it, in the Blender handbook's order: quick start, find your way around (panel, menu, sign-in), one chapter per mode with its real results, choose a model, prices and spending, jobs and recovery, files and folders, settings, troubleshooting, known limits. The README becomes short and points to it; contributor material (architecture, tests, the money rules' internals, code diagrams) stays in the README and the spec, out of the handbook. docs/PRIVACY.md loses its draft status and now says only what the plug-in does (no agent server, update check or usage data in this build). handbook.config.json names the chapters; pages.yml builds the site with scenario-labs/plugin-site's action, pinned to its first merged commit until v0.1.0 is tagged. The one-page site/, tools/release/stamp_site.py and its test go. The Vercel proxy is unchanged.

After merge: nothing until GitHub Pages is on (the admin steps in RELEASING.md, Site). Then the pin moves to plugin-site's v0.1.0 tag once its release App is set up.

Validation

• uv run --with pytest pytest -q passes; for changes that touch Maya code, tools/test_maya.sh passes too. The Maya version and OS are listed below.
• python3 tools/lint.py, uvx ruff check . and uvx ruff format --check . pass.
• Packaging changes: the release ZIP installs by dragging install_scenario.py onto a Maya viewport with no errors or warnings in the Script Editor, and its contents were inspected.
• Maya or UI changes were tried in a Maya session (tools/test_maya_gui.sh or by hand), with before/after screenshots for UI.
• Live status is stated: python3 tools/contract_check.py (free) when calls to Scenario change; any paid run had prior authorization for its project and budget.

Commands and results:

• uv run --python 3.13 --with pytest pytest -q: 181 passed. node --test tests/site/*.test.js: 11 passed. Lint and ruff clean. No Maya code changes.
• npx github:scenario-labs/plugin-site#<pinned commit> handbook --no-pdf: the handbook builds with no problem (every link and picture resolved); looked at in Chrome. Also built with plugin-site#4 (no build command in the page).
• pages.yml: runs on main only; plugin-site's CI runs the same action end to end on its sample plug-in.

Public content

• No credentials, tokens, signed URL query strings, or private account, team, project, job or asset IDs are included.
• No personal paths, machine details, agent session IDs or spend anecdotes are included.

Rules

• The spending rules in AGENTS.md still hold (price check first, single-use quotes, paid calls sent once, SCENARIO_NO_SPEND).
• No unrelated manual version or changelog edits; documentation matches the resulting behavior.

Authorship and licensing

• Human review of the complete diff is recorded before merge.
• Adopted third-party code or assets keep their compatible licenses and attribution; original contributions are licensed under MIT, the repository license.

Walkthrough

The repository now documents Scenario for Maya through a reorganized README, a new user guide, and an updated privacy document. The Pages workflow builds a handbook with scenario-labs/plugin-site and handbook.config.json. The previous static landing page, stamping script, and related tests are removed.

Changes: Handbook publishing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Update user documentation README.md, docs/USER_GUIDE.md, docs/PRIVACY.md	The README is reorganized, and the new user guide describes product workflows and settings. The privacy document updates its descriptions of data flows, storage, and controls.
Define handbook content handbook.config.json	The configuration defines product metadata, navigation, calls to action, chapters sourced from repository documentation or generated content, and a flow mapping between inputs, model tasks, and handbook topics.
Connect publishing workflow and retire old site .github/workflows/pages.yml, AGENTS.md, RELEASING.md, site/index.html, tools/release/stamp_site.py, tests/unit/test_site.py	The workflow updates its triggers, calls scenario-labs/plugin-site with the release ZIP filename pattern, and uploads the action’s output path as a Pages artifact. Repository guidance describes the new publishing flow. The previous landing page, stamping script, and related tests are removed.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 5e1d0

The new privacy document's uninstall instructions may leave some user data on disk, because results stored in Maya projects may not be removed by deleting the scenario folder. Correct that wording before relying on it. Nothing else in the change shows a concrete merge-blocking problem.

Architecture risk: Low · up to 5e1d0

Review details

Systems and components

• observed — docs (service) was modified; 2 changed files map to changed impact.
• observed — AGENTS.md (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.
• observed — handbook.config.json (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.
• observed — README.md (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in RELEASING.md: The Site documentation now describes publishing through scenario-labs/plugin-site, including the handbook built from the newest published release’s docs, its chapter configuration, and a local preview command. It replaces the prior description of a version-stamped page and the site/ or docs/media/ change triggers with release, docs-change, and manual publishing.
• observed — Modified behavior in site/index.html: Removed the entire site/index.html landing page, including its styling, product and feature descriptions, workflow media, download and installation instructions, platform and release-integrity information, and navigation and support links.
• observed — Modified behavior in tests/unit/test_site.py: Removed the site tests and their helpers, imports, and constants. The tests checked page content and local-file references, verified stamping fills the release version and ref, and expected ValueError for the listed non-release version/ref combinations.
• observed — Modified behavior in tools/release/stamp_site.py: The deleted script validated versions against digits.digits.digits and refs against main or maya-plugin-v release tags. It required {{version}}, replaced version and ref placeholders, and rejected remaining placeholder-shaped tokens. Its CLI required three arguments, returned 2 for incorrect usage, returned 1 for validation errors, and otherwise wrote the stamped page and returned 0.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "docs(docs): publish maya.scenario.com as a handbook built from the docs with plugin-site" follows the type(scope): summary convention and names the main change: the maya.scenario.com site is now a handbook built from the docs with plugin-site. It is 88 characters, under the 120 limit. The scope "docs" is listed in the template, but the "docs(docs)" form repeats the word. The title does not mention the removal of the one-page site or the README shortening, but it does not need to cover every detail.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description gives a clear summary of the handbook change, the new USER_GUIDE.md, the README shortening, the PRIVACY.md update, handbook.config.json, the pages.yml workflow, and the removal of site/ and stamp_site.py. It includes the post-merge action (enable GitHub Pages and move the pin to v0.1.0). The validation and public-content checklists are filled in, and unperformed checks are left unticked. It does not use the template's 'What does this PR change?' intro comment, but the required sections are all present. The 'Commands and results' section includes a placeholder '<pinned commit>' that the author did not fill in. The 'Authorship and licensing' item on human review is unticked, which is acceptable. The description also says the 'Written with Claude Code' line, but the template asks for co-author trailers, which the description does not confirm. These are minor gaps, so the description is mostly complete.

Major · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Correct the data-removal instructions.

Deleting scenario/ in Maya’s user folder does not remove the results, captures, and exported meshes stored in Maya projects, as Line 35 states. Users who follow these instructions can leave that data on disk. List the project folders that must also be removed.
