Blog Project Status
- Phase 3 (Static Generation): Complete — 7 templates, builder.py, deploy.py, 36/36 tests passing
- Phase 4 (Admin UI): Templates delivered — 5 admin templates + admin.css in
shared/project-docs/blog/
- Dev server: Running at
http://localhost:8080 via dev_server.py with mock data
- Remaining blocker: Socrates needs to wire admin templates into
hoffdesk-api FastAPI app
- Preview URL:
localhost:8080/admin/ for design review with mock data
Magic Wand UI — COMPLETE ✅
- Component:
components/magic_wand.html.j2 in shared and blog/admin/templates/components/
- CSS: Added to
admin.css — gradient button, progress panel, stage indicators, toast notifications
- Endpoints proxied:
/admin/content/health, /admin/content/generate, /admin/content/jobs/{job_id}, /admin/content/jobs/{job_id}/cancel
- Fixed: Form was sending URL-encoded instead of JSON → now uses fetch with proper headers
- Fixed: Content field ID was
markdown-editor, not post-content → now populates title, content, excerpt, category, tags
- End-to-end test: PASSED — generation completed, content applied to editor
Bug Fixed
- Prefix duplication in
main.py — content_router had prefix="/content" and main.py added another prefix="/admin/content" → endpoints were /admin/content/content/...
- Fixed by changing main.py to use
prefix="/admin" only
Blog v1.0 — DEPLOYED ✅
- Index page: Medium-inspired redesign complete, gold RC
- Changes: Collapsible category bar (2nd header), Unsplash images on cards/hero, higher contrast HoffDesk logo, no nav category pills, search overlay fixed
- Bundle:
blog-frontend-20260421.tar.gz created for deploy
- Docs:
blog/PRODUCTION-DEPLOY.md, blog/v1-plus-backlog.md
- Push to prod: Matt approved — bundle ready for titanium-butler
TODO
- Article page rebuild — v1+ backlog item, Medium-style needed
- Production deploy — execute deploy checklist on titanium-butler
- Desktop review — Magic Wand UI needs desktop layout testing
- Extensive dev server review — test all edge cases, error states, compliance warnings
