I agree about keeping dependencies low in small projects! When I hop between multiple projects, I can feel the context switching cost if there are setups involved.

By the way, this looks like a great use-case for…

<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <?php include 'workspace/meta.partial.html'; ?>
    <style>
      <?php include 'workspace/style.partial.css'; ?>
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <?php include 'workspace/body.partial.html'; ?>
    <script>
      // Data
      var data = <?php include 'workspace/data.json'; ?>;

      // Code
      <?php include 'workspace/scaffold.partial.js'; ?>;
      <?php include 'workspace/dynamic.partial.js'; ?>;
    </script>
    <?php include 'workspace/analytics.partial.html'; ?>
    <?php if (isset($_GET['test'])) include 'workspace/test.dev.html'; ?>
  </body>
</html>
