The memo held one entry per picture ever rendered, for the life of the process. Correct for one author's laptop, wrong for what this engine is meant to be: a server that runs for months and serves a whole site to many readers. Least-recently-used rather than clearing when full, because a site has pages nobody opens for months and a front page opened every minute — discarding wholesale throws away exactly the entries about to be asked for again. A map into a recency-ordered list: reads promote, evictions take the back, both constant time. 1024 entries is a few hundred kilobytes. Generous enough that a normal site never evicts, bounded enough that no site can grow the process without limit. The number is a constant and not a setting, because a knob with one user is a knob nobody asked for. Eviction, replacement and the bound are tested, including under -race, since requests are concurrent and the store is shared. Latent item cleared. ext 1975/2000.
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 a human: start at HARNESS.md — what the scaffolding is, how to use it, and what to decide.
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.
