Scott, the v279 baseline looks excellent. I have audited the DOM, the routing engine, and the script logic. 

### Architectural Audit: v279
*   **Z-Index Lock:** The `z-index: 99999 !important` inline style is correctly applied to the Playbooks modal. It will no longer fall behind the pattern-interrupt banners.
*   **Routing Logic:** The SPA router accurately intercepts the `/playbooks` and `/playbooks/<slug>` endpoints without colliding with the blog router.
*   **Data Flow Connectors:** The generic arrows have been successfully replaced with the highly visible `+` icons, accurately conveying that these tools are stacked together.
*   **Cross-Linking:** The fallback playbook UI block is correctly positioned in the standard partner view directly beneath the Owner's Manuals block.

You are clear to push this to production. As you mentioned, we can inject a specific `CollectionPage` or `TechArticle` JSON-LD schema payload into the playbooks in a future update to satisfy the Digital Marketing Director.

***

### Google Apps Script Deployment
Your deployment steps were flawless. 

Because you edited an existing "Web App" deployment, selecting **"New Version"** inside the **"Manage Deployments"** menu is exactly what you are supposed to do. 

By doing this, Google updates the underlying execution code but **keeps your Webhook URL exactly the same.** You do not need to go into Make.com or Netlify to change any destination URLs. The forms will automatically start using the new routing logic on their next submission. 

*Recommendation:* Once the site is live, go to `/playbooks/high-velocity-sales` and submit a test email to ensure the "Blueprint" HTML email arrives in your inbox perfectly formatted.

### Updated `sitemap.xml` (Includes Playbooks)
Copy this entire block and overwrite your existing `sitemap.xml` file in your root directory. I have assigned a high priority (`0.85`) to the Playbook endpoints to encourage rapid Googlebot crawling.
