npm audit fix - 13 advisories incl. astro high and tar critical, all
non-breaking, gates re-run green locally. The dist secret scan greps
password-adjacent patterns, so the post now says htpasswd file (which the
registry auth actually is), credential vault, and lock-of-its-own.
Content: shipping-this-site + init-gating-gpu-readiness get their edited-workshop bodies (from the
NAS Published/ pass) - site frontmatter (hero/heroAlt) kept, only prose replaced.
Dossiers 004-006 (gpu-as-code, global-infra-modernisation, network-automation-fleet) were all
rendering the same generic pipeline thumbnail - added 3 tailored DossierThumb motifs (gpu die +
passthrough lanes, region globe, switch-fleet grid) via a new diagram: frontmatter field. Also
closed the dead-space gap above the tag row on short-argument cards with a faint on-theme grid
fill (::before, masked fade) instead of a flat void.
New post: broker-pattern ('An agent should never hold the key it's using') - SECURITY SERIES 02,
between secret-zero and workload-least-privilege. Hero de-watermarked from the NAS source (resized
to the calibrated 1600x1073 coordinate space, Jacobi-diffused out the Nano Banana sparkle at its
known center) via scripts/dewatermark-broker-pattern.mjs (reusable for the next 3 drafts). New
diagram/broker-pattern.svg in the house light-card palette. Inline top-of-body hero stripped per
the astro-static-site skill guard (frontmatter hero: is now the only render path).
- New projects tagline + open-minded lead
- Split the combined infra project: keep the estate/cloud modernisation,
add a dedicated Network Automation at Fleet Scale case (Unimus + NetBox,
config backup, bulk push, vaulted+rotated credentials) from the Linde role
- Add the secret-zero bootstrap-chain diagram (was a broken image ref)
- Remove the corner sparkle artifact from all six blog hero images
- Bump hero/diagram cache-bust params so the updated assets serve
outbound-only-exposure (corrected sealed-vault image) + secret-zero (the seed-
key circuit-tree, _R revision). Both verified against their prompts, optimized
to webp (17KB / ~120KB). Completes hero coverage for all 6 posts.
Add an optional hero field to the blog schema; render it on the post page and
as the index card thumbnail. Ship 4 verified Nano Banana hero images (shipping/
init-gating/authentik/workload) as optimized webp (64-134KB). Publish the
secret-zero post. (outbound hero pending — its file was a dup of shipping;
secret-zero hero pending generation.)
Light mode: revert the heavy white-out scrim back to a moderate wash so the
board stays visible, and earn legibility with a soft light text-halo behind
running text instead (invisible on the solid cards, only works over the image).
Pairs with the darker light-mode text tokens.
Also append ?v=2 to every /diagrams/*.svg reference so the recoloured diagrams
bypass Cloudflare's 4h edge cache and show immediately (the SVG URLs aren't
content-hashed like the CSS bundle).
- Backdrop image scaled 168% → 215% so the Bat-Computer board reads bigger
and more immersive, with more room for the scroll-pan.
- Retitle the least-privilege post "The most secure credential is the one
you never mount" → "Every pod holds a key to a door it never opens" so it
no longer mirrors the "...inbound port is the one you never open" post.
Least-privilege for Kubernetes workloads — own ServiceAccount + no auto-mounted
API token, then non-root + dropped caps, then Pod Security as the enforced floor.
Adds a matching house-style SVG diagram (workload-least-privilege).
Projects + blog as schema-validated content collections; structured case
studies (problem/design/outcome), blog with tag pages, reading time, RSS
feed (drafts excluded), sitemap, and Shiki dual-theme code highlighting.
