Outcome

Transforms AutoBlog into a workspace-isolated editorial CMS with real sessions/RBAC, immutable revisions, conflict-safe autosave, review/publication workflow, durable jobs, bounded media, governed AI and a guided recruiter demo.

RFC coverage

• P-01?P-06: one Drizzle/libSQL path, validated domain, Better Auth and five-role server policy.
• P-07?P-09: state machine, append-only history, restore, HTTP 409 conflicts and idempotent publication.
• P-10?P-12: verified bounded media, compensation and explicit metered mock/Gemini suggestions.
• P-13?P-17: legacy deletion, accessible responsive UX, measured budgets and bounded demo reset.
• P-18: independent CI jobs, truthful evidence matrix, actual visual baselines and release runbooks.

Local release evidence

• frozen install; migrations 0000?0003 and seed from empty
• strict typecheck and zero-warning lint
• 19 unit, 25 integration, 10 E2E, 6 accessibility, 5 visual and 2 performance tests
• production build; zero runtime audit findings; current-tree secret scan clean
• measured direct LCP 188/300 ms, CLS 0, interaction 16 ms and JS 141,959/221,420 bytes; Lighthouse performance 0.92/0.91 with all other category scores 1.00

Release blockers

All eleven protected jobs pass, including the automated TruffleHog history-range scan. Manual baseline review identified historical MongoDB, Cloudinary and Gemini values in commit 8f83cec; automated zero-finding does not prove revocation, so owner-confirmed rotation remains mandatory. Public v2 verification also requires remote libSQL/auth/cron configuration and a one-minute scheduler.

This PR must not merge, tag or advertise the old deployment as v2 until every required check and external gate is resolved.
