Item 2 of the order of work. An author writes `../day-01.en.md` — the path an editor preview resolves — and the engine emits `/posts/day-01/`. The larger effect is durability. Resolution goes through key → route, and a slug moves the route while never moving the key (ADR-0035), so a relative link survives a rename that a hand-written /posts/a-better-name/ does not. The demo proves it: `../renamed-thing.en.md` renders as href="/posts/a-better-name/" — the author wrote the filename and got the slugged address. This is the engine altering authored markup, which ADR-0045 polices, so the test that matters is what it declines to touch. Fourteen cases must survive exactly as written: an absolute URL, a scheme-relative URL, mailto:, tel:, a root-relative path, a bare fragment, a bare query, a name climbing out of content/, and every relative path whose extension is not .md. That last line is what keeps cover.jpg working — a bundle's assets already resolve because its URL mirrors its directory, so rewriting them would break what works. Nine rewrite cases sit beside them. Key derivation goes through content.KeyFromName, exported for this: the language-suffix rule is the part that would drift between two copies, so it lives in one place while the five lines of joining are duplicated in check. khosra check now reports a relative .md link resolving to no bundle, as fatal — verified by mistyping one and watching exit 1. Only the .md form: an extensionless relative path may be an asset, and a checker that calls a working link broken gets ignored wholesale. Two debts this change paid rather than deferred. render.go reached the file-length advisory, so theme parsing moved to theme.go — 414 and 105 lines, one topic each, since parsing runs per rebuild and rendering runs per request. Not a _helpers.go shard. And the demo's coverage test bound its renderer with a *copy* of the rebuilder's wiring, so it missed this feature entirely while the real binary served it correctly. Navigation had already drifted the same way. Both now call one bind(), which is exactly what ADR-0072 was written about — and the test failing is the only reason the copy was found. Extensions 7 → 8. Core 3020 → 3049 of 3400: the seam is ~20 lines, the feature is in ext where it belongs. 18 files. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
examples/
demo-site/ is a complete khosra site, kept here to be read and served — the demonstration a person walks
through to see what the engine does, and the fixture the engine tests itself against (ADR-0051).
make demo # serves it at localhost:8080
khosra check -site examples/demo-site
It is content, not a fixture in disguise: every file is what an author would write. Two things keep it honest,
both in verify.sh:
TestTheExampleSiteExercisesEveryFeature(ininternal/web) serves this directory through the real handler and asserts one case per feature. A feature that changes shape breaks it.khosra checkruns over it and must report nothing fatal.
Adding a feature means adding it here, with a case in that test. A feature the example does not show is a feature nobody can see working, and the gates are what stop that from being optional.
What each part is for
| Path | Demonstrates |
|---|---|
site.yaml |
the two site-level settings: base and title |
content/posts/day-01…11 |
pagination — eleven dated posts against a page size of ten |
content/posts/first-light/ |
two languages, a directory bundle owning a picture, a figure with a caption |
content/posts/only-english |
the fallback chain, and a canonical link naming the variant actually served |
content/posts/renamed-thing/ |
slug moving an address, aliases keeping the old one working |
content/posts/unfinished |
a draft: invisible without -dev on |
content/posts/scheduled |
a future date: published by the clock, with nothing to run |
content/comics/the-long-monsoon/ |
a series — structural membership, sparse order, prev/next/first/last, an archive, and a landing page in two languages |
content/art/monsoon-studies/ |
a gallery: three JPEGs sized into a srcset, and an SVG left exactly as drawn |
content/writing/notes-on-water/ |
an include whose fragment has no URL, and an extras/ tree with a nested directory |
content/writing/typography |
what the engine does to prose, and what it deliberately does not |
content/pages/* |
undated bundles: reachable, and absent from every feed |
content/pages/bengali-only |
a bundle that exists in one non-default language only |
content/status/* |
a titleless bundle — legal, and the one check warning this site expects |
templates/list.html |
overriding a single named block and inheriting the document |
static/note.txt |
files served verbatim |
The one expected warning
khosra check reports the titleless status note. That is deliberate: titleless is legal, the theme falls back
to the bundle's key, and the warning exists so an author who did not mean it finds out. A fatal finding here
would fail verify.sh.
