-## Publishing a post
-
-A post is just a Markdown file in `src/content/blog/`. Write one by hand, or generate
-a schema-valid one with the publish helper (this is the seam an IaC/CI step calls):
-
-```bash
-# from flags
-node scripts/new-post.mjs --title "My post" --summary "One line" \
-     --tags "kubernetes,gpu" [--draft] [--bodyFile notes.md]
-
-# from a JSON event (e.g. an Ansible/AWX deploy summary)
-echo '{"title":"...","summary":"...","tags":["x"],"body":"## Hi\n..."}' \
-  | node scripts/new-post.mjs --stdin
-```
-
-Commit the file to `main` → CI rebuilds and ships. A malformed post **fails the build**
-(frontmatter is zod-validated), so a bad pipeline event never reaches production.
+A post is a Markdown file in `src/content/blog/` with zod-validated
+frontmatter; a malformed post fails the build, so a bad file never reaches
+production. `scripts/new-post.mjs` scaffolds one from flags or a JSON event on
+stdin - the seam a CI step can call. Each post belongs to one numbered series
+(`src/data/series.ts`), which drives the badge on the index cards.
