Public context should protect what stays offstage.
That is the balance.
A site should give enough context to be useful.
Enough source trail to be honest.
Enough structure to be legible.
Enough boundary to be safe.
But not everything belongs on the public surface.
Some context is only there to shape judgment.
Some source material should stay held.
Some details would create the wrong kind of attention.
The public layer should not pretend it contains the whole life.
It should point to what is safe to understand.
And protect what should remain offstage.
That is not hiding.
That is responsible context design.
