Prompt Original prompt

Exact prompt as published in the source.

Write me a new script called build_colophon.py which looks through that gathered JSON file and builds and saves an HTML page. The page should be mobile friendly and should list every page—with a link to that page—and for each one display the commit messages neatly (convert newlines to br and linkify URLs but no other formatting)—plus the commit message dates and links to the commits themselves which are in https://github.com/simonw/tools
