Description

Session Goal

Align the content pipeline around a trusted LCD front bundle and establish a minimal Next.js reader that consumes projected artifacts only, rather than coupling the frontend to live ingestion.

Key Activities

• Reviewed a CLI contract update for canonical run inspection, including latest-success pointer behavior and artifact inventory/report paths.
• Reframed the frontend strategy around exporting a verified LCD bundle first, then building a minimal Next.js reader on top of that static contract.
• Specified export ordering and bundle layout changes: write posts.[[json]] and pages.[[json]] before manifest.[[json]], and advertise those artifacts in the manifest.
• Added validation intent via a Makefile check target to verify frontend bundle structure and ensure the reader can be smoke-tested against a small bundle before live content.
• Compared frontend implementation options and favored a lightweight App Router + Tailwind Next.js template with filesystem JSON reads over a heavier CMS-style starter.

Achievements

• Clarified the source-of-truth boundary: ingestion/export remains authoritative, while the frontend should only consume projected bundle artifacts.
• Established a practical implementation sequence: export bundle, validate layout, scaffold a minimal reader, then confirm it works with live content.
• Identified the canonical artifact and inspection contract needed to make run outputs and validation reports discoverable and consistent.

Pending Tasks

• Implement the CLI patch for latest-success pointer and canonical inventory/report paths.
• Update the export pipeline to emit posts.[[json]] and pages.[[json]] before manifest.[[json]] and reflect them in the manifest.
• Add or verify the Makefile bundle-layout check target.
• Scaffold the minimal Next.js reader against the static LCD bundle and run a smoke test with both the 2-item bundle and live content.
