Admin page

services/admin is where Greg decides what the rules held, puts back an earlier version, captures a status or a Library item, opens and closes store orders, previews drafts, and checks that the content service and the sync jobs are running.

It is one more client of the content service's HTTP API, like the MCP server and any editing tool built later. It writes nothing itself: every action is a call to the write API, so the same rules apply, and changes are written into the vault so Obsidian shows them too. Its changes are recorded with the author admin ("Admin page" in history).

Pages

Page	What it does
Overview	Live and total notes, what waits for review, folder problems, the service's last scan and last error, a Scan now button, each sync job's last run and last success, and Library suggestions: series moved to Reading in PersonalReader with no Library item, each with Add to the Library (title, medium, AniList id, state now, published) and Dismiss.
Site pages	Each page of the site with its Page text note (lede, photos, portrait) as thumbnails, Edit page or Add page text, and links to the notes that fill the page (crafts, games, decks, product lines, settings).
Review	Held changes with the rules' reasons and a line diff against the live version. Accept puts it live (and into the vault, for API changes). Reject keeps the live version; for an edit made in Obsidian, "Reject and put the live version back" also rewrites the file. Earlier decisions are listed by status.
Notes, Drafts	Browse and search every note, or only the unpublished ones. Each row has Edit; filtered to one type, the list also offers to add a note of that type.
A note	A preview of the body, its fields, what links to it, Edit, Publish or Unpublish, and its history. Any earlier version can be compared with the live one and rolled back.
Posts	Every blog post, drafts first, and Write a post: title, topic, kind of post, publish date, summary, a cover picked from the vault or uploaded, the pages it is about, Feature it, case study details, and the Markdown body. Preview shows it rendered with its images; Save draft and Publish write the note to Posts/. Images added to the post are uploaded to _attachments/Posts and appended as ![[file]] lines.
Edit	The form for any note (posts open their own editor). It is built from the note type's schema in @gk/schema, so it offers exactly the fields the content service accepts: image fields (format: vault-image) show a thumbnail, a pick from the vault and an upload into the type's _attachments folder; link fields offer note names; lists of rows (photos, specs, prices, socials) can be added to, removed and moved up or down. An emptied field is removed from the note, an unticked optional box is left out, and fields the form cannot show (a list inside a row) stay as they are. The title is the file name, so it is renamed in Obsidian.
Images	Everything in _attachments, newest first, by folder, with which notes use each one. Upload several at once into a folder, copy an image's ![[file]] line, and delete images no note uses.
Capture	A status for the Now log, or a Library item with the option to post a status about it in the same step.
Store	Orders open or closed per category, with the reopen date and turnaround, and open slots or stock per product line.
Problems	Whole-folder problems, like links to notes that do not exist.
Inbox	Inquiries and order requests from the site, unhandled first and newest first, with whether each email reached you. Open one to read it, reply by email, download its attachment, and mark it handled or not handled.

Safety

• Tailnet only. Publish it behind the "Tailnet only" access list; it has no login of its own.
• The token stays on the server. The admin page holds the content service's admin token and calls the API itself; the browser never sees it.
• No posts from other sites. Every form post must carry Sec-Fetch-Site: same-origin (or a matching Origin), so a page elsewhere cannot make the browser act on the admin page.
• Drafts cannot run code. Previews show raw HTML as text and drop links that are not http, https, mailto or relative. The content security policy allows only the page's own /admin.js (Copy buttons and a confirm before deleting an image), never inline script, and every page still works with plain forms when that script does not run.
• Only images go into the vault. Uploads are checked by extension and by their first bytes, SVG is refused, and an image is deleted only when no note uses it.
