# The site

`services/site` (`@gk/site`) is the public GregKilmer.com. It is an Astro app
rendered on request by the Node adapter. It reads only the content service,
with a reader token, and only published notes.

## How a page gets its data

```astro
---
import PageShell from "@gk/ui/components/PageShell.astro";
import { site } from "../lib/page.ts";
const s = await site();            // the SiteIndex: every published note in memory
const games = s.all("board-game"); // typed: games[0].data.bggId is a number
---
```

`src/lib/content.ts` loads every published note from the content service and
refreshes in the background every 30 seconds (`CONTENT_REFRESH_SECONDS`). If
the service is down, the last good copy keeps serving.

`src/lib/site.ts` (`SiteIndex`) answers everything a page asks:

| Method | Gives |
| --- | --- |
| `all(type)`, `one(type)`, `bySlug(type, slug)`, `byName(name or [[link]])` | Notes. |
| `href(note)` | The address that shows a note (see the URL map below). |
| `link("[[Name]]")` | `{ title, href, note }`; `href` is null when the note is not published, so render plain text. |
| `backlinks(note, { type })` | Notes linking to it, newest first. Links to a make count for its craft, a deck for its game, a campaign for its system. |
| `linksFrom(note)` | Notes it links to. |
| `posts({ topic })`, `caseStudies()` | Blog posts and case studies, newest first. |
| `statuses()`, `statusFor(note)` | The status log (newest per subject, pinned first) and a note's current status. |
| `kind(label)` | A status kind's brand icon and page. |
| `pageText(path)` | The Page text note for an address: lede, body, quick facts. |
| `settings()` | Site settings: name, tagline, availability, socials. |
| `render(markdown)` | Safe HTML with wikilinks resolved. |
| `redirect(type, slug)` | Where an old slug now lives; answer it with a 301. |

`mediaSrc(value)` turns an image field into a `/media/<file>` address, which
passes vault images through from the content service. `formatDate("2026-10-11")`
gives "Oct 11, 2026".

## Rules for pages

- Build from the components in `@gk/ui` (see [components.md](components.md)) and
  the gk-* classes. Every page uses `PageShell` with its `family` (edge seal)
  and `current` (nav entry); its hero goes in the `hero` slot.
- All dark. Panels are Midnight with a gold frame, not Starlight.
- Never invent facts or numbers. Where a note has no value, leave the element
  out, or show `[PLACEHOLDER]` where the design needs text Greg has not
  written yet.
- No phone numbers. Email addresses stay as they are in the notes.
- Lists of posts are fixed-height rows, not stretching cards.
- Small client scripts (filters, tabs) are fine; the page must read correctly
  without them.

## Running it locally

```sh
# the content service, against a copy of the Site folder
SITE_DIR=… DATA_DIR=… CONTENT_TOKENS="reader:<24+ chars>" npm run content
# the site
CONTENT_URL=http://localhost:4310 CONTENT_TOKEN=<reader token> npm run site   # http://localhost:4330
```

For a local preview of drafts, set `CONTENT_INCLUDE_DRAFTS=true` with an editor
or admin token. Never set it where the public can reach the site.

## The resume PDF

`/resume.pdf` is drawn with pdfkit from the same `resumeData()` as `/resume`
(`src/lib/resume.ts`), so the two never disagree. It is one plain column so
applicant tracking systems read it in order, uses the brand TTFs in
`src/assets/pdf-fonts`, and is rebuilt only when the notes behind it change.
The highlights row comes from the `/resume` Page text note's `stats`.

## Where each page lives

| Page | File | Helpers |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Landing, About, Now | `pages/index.astro`, `about.astro`, `now.astro` | `lib/home.ts`, `components/home` |
| Resume and PDF | `pages/resume.astro`, `resume.pdf.ts` | `lib/resume.ts`, `lib/resume-pdf.ts` |
| Work, case studies | `pages/work/` | `lib/work.ts`, `components/work`, `components/blog/PostLayout` |
| Inquiries, sent, 404 | `pages/inquiries/`, `404.astro` | `lib/work.ts` |
| Library, Shelf | `pages/library/` | `lib/library.ts`, `components/library` |
| Workshop, crafts, Tabletop | `pages/workshop/`, `tabletop.astro` | `lib/world.ts`, `components/world` |
| Blog, topics, posts, RSS | `pages/blog/`, `rss.xml.ts` | `lib/blog.ts`, `components/blog` |
| Store, lines, order | `pages/store/` | `lib/store.ts`, `components/store` |

Forms post to `/api/inquiries` and `/api/orders`, which arrive in phase 6.
