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)
