Claude Opus 5andbdeshi a893ab1821 replace the shortcode syntax with generic directives
`::name{key=value}` alone on a line, quotes only where a value has spaces,
braces omitted when there are none. The old form cost eleven characters of
punctuation per call and could not carry a body, which admonitions will need.
Generic directives are an existing convention — remark-directive, MyST,
Docusaurus — so this is a syntax authors and tools already know rather than one
more invention, and it reserves `:::name` for containers and `:name[…]` for the
inline dynamic calls that come later.

Retired outright rather than aliased: two syntaxes is two parsers and two test
sets forever. `khosra check` reports every leftover call as fatal and names the
replacement, so migrating a site root is running it until it exits zero — proven
on an unmigrated root, which exits 1 with the file and the fix.

The trigger byte moves from `{` to `:`, which prose uses constantly, so the
parser refuses `3::4`, `: a definition` and `:::note`, each with a case. The
definition-list parser sits at priority 101 and this one at 100, so it gets
first refusal and everything it rejects falls through.

Two things the syntax change would have broken silently. check's alt-text regex
still matched the old form, so the one accessibility check the engine has would
have stopped finding anything — it moves with the syntax and keeps its case. And
a test asserted that hostile arguments fail at the syntax because quotes cannot
be expressed; unquoted values are legal now, so it asserts the property that
actually holds: the fragment escapes them.

Demo migrated. core 2790/2800, ext 1077/2000, 34 gates green, 0 warnings.

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.
