bdeshi 67fa408bb0 notice content changes and rebuild without a restart
Polling lives in internal/ext/watch, per the human's call to keep core under its
ceiling rather than raise it a second time — which is what ADR-0041 said a second
raise would mean. It is a poller, deletable without trace, and core stayed at
2671/2800.

A settled change calls the same `rebuilder` that startup calls, because a reload
path that differs from the startup path is a reload path that drifts. The index is
an atomic.Pointer swapped whole, so a request reads the site that was current when
it arrived instead of one being rebuilt underneath it — the alternative, mutating in
place, is a data race with every in-flight request.

Names, sizes and modification times, not contents: reading every file to detect a
change costs more than the rebuild it triggers. Editor droppings are excluded,
because saving in vim writes a swap file, a backup and the number 4913, and each
would otherwise look like a change. A change must hold still for a moment first,
since one save is often several operations.

Verified against the running binary: a page 404s, the file appears, and five seconds
later it serves — one "site root changed" in the log. Then three droppings written
at once produced no rebuild at all.

Two warnings fired and were fixed rather than silenced: `runServe` gave up the
rebuild closure to `rebuilder`, and the fingerprint walk gave up its body to
`record`, where three exclusions read as a list instead of as nesting.

The Dockerfile ships the binary alone. The site root arrives as a volume and is
never copied in — it is somebody's content repository with its own history
(ADR-0011), so the image is the same for every site.

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.
