# 2026-04-22 — Daedalus Session Log

## Blog v1.0 Deployed to Production

- **Live URL:** https://notes.hoffdesk.com/
- **Admin URL:** https://notes.hoffdesk.com/admin/blog/
- **New post:** https://notes.hoffdesk.com/admin/blog/posts/new
- **Auth token:** `hoffdesk-admin-2025` (in BLOG_ADMIN_TOKEN env var)

## What Was Done

### Medium-Style Blog Redesign
- New `blog.css` — Medium-inspired design: clean header, collapsible category bar, hero card, wider cards with images
- `blog_index.html.j2` — Hero + grid layout, collapsible category pills
- `blog_article.html.j2` — Still old styling (deferred to v1+)
- Template path issue: hoffdesk-api serves from `shared/project-docs/blog/templates/`, NOT from `/home/hoffdesk/blog/templates/`
- Files deployed to both locations to be safe

### Cloudflare Tunnel
- Updated `~/.cloudflared/config.yml` to add `blog.hoffdesk.com` → `localhost:8000`
- Matt needs to add DNS CNAME record in Cloudflare dashboard

### Magic Wand Content Generation — LIVE ✅
- Backend: 5-stage pipeline (strategy → structure → draft → seo → compliance) via Gaming PC
- Frontend: HTMX + fetch polling, 5-stage progress UI
- Base URL: `https://notes.hoffdesk.com/admin/content`
- Auth: `?token=hoffdesk-admin-2025` on all content generation endpoints
- Contract: `shared/project-docs/blog/magic-wand-api-contract.md`

### Admin Auth — IN PROGRESS
- Admin routes require `X-Admin-Token: hoffdesk-admin-2025` header
- HTMX global interceptor added to `admin_base.html.j2` auto-attaches token
- Login page exists (`admin_login.html.j2`) but NO ROUTE serves it yet
- Current behavior: redirects to 401 instead of login page
- **TODO:** Add `/admin/blog/login` route to admin_router.py (Socrates' turf)

## Open Items

### Blocking
- [ ] Admin login page needs a route — Socrates to add to `admin_router.py`
- [ ] `blog.hoffdesk.com` DNS CNAME record — Matt to add in Cloudflare

### Deferred to v1+
- [ ] Rebuild `blog_article.html.j2` to Medium-style
- [ ] Reading progress bar on articles
- [ ] Prev/next navigation on articles
- [ ] Social share buttons
- [ ] Fuse.js search (or database-backed)
- [ ] Author byline & avatar
- [ ] Static generation builder script
- [ ] Draft/scheduled publishing
- See: `blog/v1-plus-backlog.md`

### Docs Created

- `shared/project-docs/blog/FRONTEND-DEPLOY.md` — handoff to Socrates

## Architecture Notes

- Static: `/home/hoffmann_admin/.openclaw/workspace-socrates/hoffdesk-api/static/`
- Blog data: `/home/hoffmann_admin/.openclaw/workspace-socrates/hoffdesk-api/blog/data/`

### hoffdesk-api Routes
- Public blog: `/api/blog/` (renders HTML via Jinja2)
