Two decisions and one mechanism. The human wants demos, games and runnable
embeds to carry real CSS and JS while every ordinary page stays scriptless, and
wants adding an asset to be theme work rather than a rebuild.
The mechanism reuses what already had that property. A theme defines
`assets:<name>` beside its other fragments; shortcodes record their own name as
they are opened; after conversion the engine renders each matching fragment once
into Page.Assets. So a gallery calling one shortcode forty times carries its
stylesheet once, and a page that called nothing carries nothing. Frontmatter
`use:` reaches the same fragments without a call.
Considered and rejected: templates/assets.yaml, which reads more declaratively
and buys a parser, a contract shape and a rebuild for conditional markup; and a
table in Go mapping shortcode to files, which would hardcode exactly what was
deliberately made data-driven.
Collection is parse-phase, so no transform counter moves — goldmark's extender
list is already the ordered pipeline for parse work, which state.md's counter
says in its "does not count" column.
Separately, styles/scripts are lifted at last. They sat in content-model.md's
table unread, and the theme contract listed them under "what the engine
provides", which was aspirational rather than true. Both are bundle-relative: a
name with .. or a leading / is dropped and logged, the refusal ::include and a
code block's file= already make. The engine builds the URLs because a theme must
not construct an address.
ADR-0080 writes the antifeature list down, with its single exception inside it.
An antifeature nobody recorded does not bind anything, and each of these dies to
one reasonable-looking request at a time. The exception is author-invoked and
cannot fire by accident.
The reference theme emits the stylesheets and no script element at all. That was
the human's correction to a first attempt which had page.html emitting the tag
and verify.sh narrowed to permit it — narrowing the gate to fit the code was
backwards, and the narrowing was also wrong, passing a probe with a hardcoded src
because it filtered whole lines and every line carries {{define}}. verify.sh is
untouched. examples/demo-site redefines the head block instead, so the JavaScript
half is demonstrated by a site rather than built into the binary, which is a
better demonstration and a stronger property.
Evidence, against the demo site with a freshly built binary: the sandbox page
carries its own css and js at bundle-relative URLs; colophon calls ::tally twice
and carries tally.css once with zero scripts; about calls it never and carries
neither; listings unaffected. Plus a table test for the escape refusal, which
until now had only the running server behind it.

ADR-0058 kept task lists out as "a note-taking affordance, not a publishing
one". That reasoning measured the wrong axis: a checklist inside a published
technical piece — setup steps, a runbook, a what-I-tried list — is publishing,
and nothing else in the dialect expresses "this item is done" without the author
hand-writing an entity. ADR-0078 supersedes that half and records why.
The half of ADR-0058 that mattered is untouched: extension.GFM stays refused,
because the bundle drags linkify in with the tables it is wanted for, and
linkify rewrites an author's plain text into markup — the line ADR-0034 draws.
One named extension is not a bundle, and wire.go now says so where the
temptation to reach for GFM will next appear.
ADR-0058's Status line names its successor, so a reader arriving there learns
the task-list sentence no longer holds. Same in-place Status annotation the
mutability rule allows, Decision text untouched.
Checkboxes render disabled: static markup, nothing clickable, nothing stored. A
reader with scripting off sees the same page, which is the property the whole
theme is built on. goldmark adds no class to the list, so theme.css finds it
with :has rather than the engine inventing markup to be styled by.
Demo carries the case ADR-0051 requires — a colophon checklist of what this
build does and does not do, including the unticked "ship a single byte of
JavaScript", which is true of that page and asserted by the test's absent list.
No counter moves: state.md's counters are explicit that an upstream extension
enabled in the list is dialect, not a feature of this engine — only a package
under internal/ext/ counts.

chroma at render time, emitting CSS classes rather than inline colour, handed to
a `code` theme fragment. Highlighting works with scripting off, in a feed
reader, in a browser that never runs JavaScript. No lighter pure-Go option
exists — every "alternative to chroma" is JavaScript, which the reference theme
is gated against.
A fence's info string carries the rest: title, numbers, start, hl=3,7-9, and
file=name lines=A-B, which reads the snippet out of a file beside the bundle and
numbers it by that file's own lines. So a post quotes several parts of one
program without the copies drifting from it, and a reader can find what they are
looking at. Verified on the real binary: the same file at lines 5-10 and 12-14,
each numbered as it really is, with different lines tinted.
Not a new package: a new one could not import the key=value parser this repo
already has, because ADR-0069 forbids a feature importing its sibling, and a
second parser for the same syntax is what §6 stops.
Two costs, both stated in the ADR rather than buried. The binary goes from ~15MB
to 19MB, for a project whose story is one small binary. And the reference theme
now carries a token palette — the first thing in it that is a taste rather than
a demonstration — kept to eight classes for that reason.
The demo quotes a shell file, not a Go one: a .go file under examples/ joins the
module and has to compile, which the build gate caught before it shipped.
6 of 9 modules, ext 2188/3500.
notes-on-water had become a kitchen sink: every feature from the last eight
loops on one page, which demonstrates the engine and misrepresents the site.
Now each lands where a real site would put it. The text marks, the abbreviation,
authored <kbd> and the margin note go to writing/typography, which is already
the page about what the engine does to words. Icons and the grouped panels go to
pages/colophon, which is the page about the theme — install instructions are
what tabs are actually for. about gets a lone expando, the-flood gets a chapter
note, and notes-on-water keeps what it is really for: the include and its
namespaced footnotes, the gauge table, the glossary and a contents list over its
own headings.
Seven bundles carry features now instead of two, and the demo cases moved with
them, so each still names the page it proves.
The human asked for a demo extensive enough to review by hand, tracked as files,
and kept current the way docs are. Generated filler cannot be reviewed — you cannot
read a Go function and see what a reader sees — so the generator is deleted and
`examples/demo-site/` is an ordinary site: 33 Markdown files, six pictures,
site.yaml, a template override and static files.
My reason for generating it was ADR-0011, and I had that rule wrong: it puts the
*author's site root* outside this repository, not fixtures. conventions.md already
keeps golden files in testdata/, and this is the same category one size up. Keeping
both a generator and files would have been two sources of truth, so one had to go.
Kept true by two gates rather than by good intentions. A table-driven test in
internal/web serves the directory through the real handler with one case per
feature — thirty-five of them, each naming what it proves — and verify.sh runs
`khosra check` over it and fails on anything fatal. Adding a feature now means
adding it to the demo and adding its case, and the build says so if you don't.
Extensive on purpose: eleven dated posts so a section actually paginates, a
four-chapter series so first/last are not the neighbours, a gallery with three
JPEGs and an SVG so both the resampled and the untouched paths show, a Bengali-only
bundle, a titleless status, a draft, a future date, an include, a nested extras
tree, and a typography page that demonstrates what the engine will not do.
Two expectations of mine were wrong and the demo corrected them: the site's own
list template overrides *tag* listings too, so there are no group headings there —
which turns out to be the better demonstration of ADR-0046, since the theme picking
the flat shape is exactly the point. And template literal text is not escaped, so
an apostrophe stays an apostrophe.
