bdeshi 771a491188 add khosra demo, and give the site a front page
The demo writes a whole site root that exercises every feature: two languages with
a fallback, a series with ordered chapters, a gallery, a figure, an include,
extras, tags across sections, a slug with an alias, an undated page, a draft, a
template override, static files and site.yaml. It generates its filler rather than
copying stored files, because nothing in this repository is content (ADR-0011) — and
that makes it a test of the engine rather than a fixture: anything khosra can do
that the demo cannot express is a gap.

Two things found by generating and then serving it, which is the whole point:

`khosra check` reported the demo's own series as mixing ordered and unordered
members. It was right — the chapter bodies *described* `order: 10` while the
frontmatter never carried it. The checker caught its own author.

And `/` was a **404**. ADR-0008 leaves the root engine-owned, which is right, but
"engine-owned" was never given an answer, so a visitor to the site's own address got
nothing. The root now lists every bundle, newest first, paginated like any other
listing, and 404s only when nothing is published. A hand-written home page stays a
separate decision, recorded as such.

Verified end to end: 23 files written, 12 bundles, 12 derivatives, `check` clean,
and every URL the demo promises answers — including the alias redirecting, the draft
hidden, and the front page rendering through the site's *own* template override.

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.
