bdeshiandClaude Opus 5 30c26bd1ac resolve relative links against the disk, serve them as addresses
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.

This post exists in two languages, so the footer's language links go somewhere and hreflang has something to point at. Its Bengali twin is index.bn.md beside this file.

It also owns a picture, which only a directory bundle can do:

::figure{src=cover.jpg alt="A grey-green gradient standing in for a photograph" caption="A caption, rendered by the theme's figure fragment"}

The picture above is served from this bundle's own directory, and the srcset on it names generated widths.

Relative links are written the way the files sit on disk, so they resolve in an editor preview and on the site alike — and they survive a slug rename, because they go through the key rather than the address (ADR-0087). This links a sibling post, a piece in another section, and the renamed one, whose address is not its filename.
