One file held every fragment, and it gained one per feature all session: figure, gallery, icon, three admonitions, details, aside, contents. A theme author overriding one had to copy the file or redefine into it, and a diff of the theme became a diff of everything. Both forms are supported, because a small theme is happier with one file and the contract should not force a directory on it. Parse order is embedded file, embedded directory, site file, site directory, and the last definition wins — so the directory overrides the file within one source and a site overrides the binary either way. Verified with a site root using both at once: its shortcodes.html supplied `icon`, its shortcodes/note.html supplied `note`, the embedded directory supplied the rest, and with the same name in both the directory won. The embedded theme ships the directory only, seven files, so nothing is defined twice. parseSet takes globs now and lost a branch doing it. Its old guard — a literal embedded name must exist — had to go, since shortcodes.html is deliberately absent; the replacement is stronger, failing at startup when a set matches nothing anywhere, which also catches a renamed base.html.
khosra
A flat-file personal publishing engine in Go. Point the binary at a directory of Markdown and it becomes an owned, networked home for fiction, webcomics, art, and essays, in English and Bengali. The site's content lives in its own repository, not this one (ADR-0011).
Build and run
Needs Go 1.26+ and git; nothing else.
make build # or: go build -o khosra ./cmd/khosra
make run SITE=/path/to/site # or: ./khosra -site /path/to/site
make test
make verify # everything the project enforces — green before every commit
make help lists targets. make is a convenience wrapper; go build, go test and
./scripts/verify.sh work on their own and are what the gate uses.
A site root is a directory holding content/, and optionally static/ and templates/. It lives in its
own repository, not this one — the binary is pointed at it.

If you are an agent: start at CLAUDE.md — the constitution and the read order. It is loaded for you automatically; this file is not a prerequisite and nothing here is a rule.
