Claude a9fb5b3e85 Admin: write blog posts and manage images
A Posts page lists every post with Write a post: title, topic, kind,
date, summary, a cover picked from the vault or uploaded, the pages it is
about, the Markdown body with a rendered preview, and Save draft or
Publish. An Images page uploads several images into an _attachments
folder, shows which notes use each one, copies its embed line, and
deletes unused ones. The content service gains the attachment list,
upload and delete endpoints behind the editor and admin tokens.

# 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. |
| 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| Notes, Drafts | Browse and search every note, or only the unpublished ones. |
| A note | A preview of the body, its fields, what links to it, 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. |
| 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.
## Running it
| Variable | Default | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `CONTENT_URL` | `http://localhost:4310` | The content service. |
| `ADMIN_TOKEN` | required | The content service's admin token. |
| `PORT`, `HOST` | `4320`, `0.0.0.0` | |
```sh
ADMIN_TOKEN=… npm run admin
```
