## Blog

Posts live at `src/lib/posts/*.md` as mdsvex markdown. Follow `src/lib/posts/template.md.sample` for frontmatter (`title`, `description`, `image`, `date`, `categories`, `published`). Categories are one of `development`, `work`, `life`. The slug is the filename; only posts with `published: true` appear on the site.

See `AGENTS.md` for the full authoring workflow.

## Deployment

Netlify deploys the `main` branch automatically. The GitHub Actions PR gate (`.github/workflows/pr.yml`) runs lint, typecheck, tests, and build on every pull request using `pnpm`. Before shipping, verify locally with:

```bash
pnpm lint && pnpm check && pnpm test && pnpm build
```
