bdeshiandClaude Opus 5 b313b729d9 review 130 feature ideas, and delete the lists that held them
One idea at a time: definition, necessity, priority, layer, recommendation. Every
row is now shipped, scheduled, parked with a trigger, or dropped with a reason —
so both tracking files are gone rather than left as a parallel backlog.

Roughly a third already shipped. A quarter needed only a theme fragment or CSS,
including several the list assumed were features: arbitrary `theme.*` frontmatter
attributes already reach templates through Extra (verified), native lazy loading
already ships and is deliberately absent on lead figures, and in-page timelines
are a theme-defined container.

roadmap.md gains an "Order of work" — nine bodies of work in sequence, because the
sections this review added had accumulated without one. Item 0 is a decision, not
work: core sits at ~2965 of 3000 and logging alone wants the remainder, so
discover.go moves out *and* the ceiling rises with an ADR. feed.go and
web/extras.go cannot move; they are resolver cases, and three parked items now
wait on that same seam decision.

Two ADRs came out of it.

ADR-0083: the dependency rule described a practice it forbade. "Stdlib first,
always" and "usually 40 lines of stdlib" would, read literally, have argued
against all five modules here — every one is a format or algorithm somebody else
specified, and their allowlist comments say so. Surfaced when this agent proposed
hand-rolling Reed–Solomon for QR encoding. The test is now whether you can verify
it, not whether you can write it, with compute-versus-hold as the counterweight.
conventions.md and allowed-deps.txt contradicted it and were realigned.

ADR-0084: the Effect primitive said every Effect is "idempotent and re-runnable
from scratch" — true of derivatives, false of anything outbound, since a sent
message cannot be recalled. Split into artifact-producing and outbound, the latter
idempotent only against a delivery ledger, at-least-once with a dedupe key, and
ledgers in a -state directory distinct from the disposable cache. Asked for as
forward-looking design so webmentions need no redesign; recorded as a shape rather
than built, the way extensions.md records the Extension struct. Also fixed a
STATUS claiming Effects were "not buildable yet" when the derivative pass has
inhabited them since ADR-0042.

Findings that were defects rather than ideas: the Atom feed emits no <author>,
which RFC 4287 requires. HTML comments in content are published verbatim —
verified — so anything commented out is already public, and a check warning is
scheduled rather than the engine deleting authored bytes. `Page` has no Date, so a
theme cannot mark up dt-published or show an article's own date.

A frontmatter naming rule after this agent proposed `archive` alongside the
accepted `archived`: no near-homograph keys, and name the benefit rather than the
vendor.

reference/microformats-and-indieweb.md is new and is the reference asked for —
microformats2 properties and IndieWeb rel values mapped to where a theme puts
them, with spec URLs, marked scheduled. rel="me" is the highest-value lowest-cost
item in that space and needs no endpoint at all.

Four things this agent got wrong and the human caught: asserting "the engine never
fetches" from a sentence scoped to the content repo, twice; inventing a
data-sovereignty argument for an item he had filed as "a cool geeky thing", when
the raw Markdown in his git already is the sovereignty; the archive naming; and
claiming microformats could be fully implemented today.

15 files, +556/-385. No code changed. Nothing was scheduled that this agent could
not name a consumer for.

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.
