---
## 2. Code Implementation Review
### 2.1 Feed Module (`starpunk/feed.py`) ✅
**Lines**: 229
**Coverage**: 96%
**Standards**: RSS 2.0, RFC-822 compliant
#### Architecture Alignment
| Requirement (ADR-014) | Implementation | Status |
|----------------------|----------------|---------|
| RSS 2.0 format only | `feedgen` library with RSS 2.0 | ✅ |
| RFC-822 date format | `format_rfc822_date()` function | ✅ |
| Title extraction | `get_note_title()` with fallback | ✅ |
| HTML in CDATA | `clean_html_for_rss()` + feedgen | ✅ |
| 50 item default limit | Configurable limit parameter | ✅ |
| Absolute URLs | Proper URL construction | ✅ |
| Atom self-link | `fg.link(rel="self")` | ✅ |
#### Code Quality Assessment
**Strengths**:
- **Clear separation of concerns**: Each function has single responsibility
- **Comprehensive docstrings**: Every function documented with examples
- **Error handling**: Validates required parameters, handles edge cases
- **Defensive coding**: CDATA marker checking, timezone handling
- **Standards compliance**: Proper RSS 2.0 structure, all required elements
**Design Principles**:
- ✅ Minimal code (no unnecessary complexity)
- ✅ Single responsibility (each function does one thing)
- ✅ Standards first (RSS 2.0, RFC-822)
- ✅ Progressive enhancement (graceful fallbacks)
**Notable Implementation Details**:
1. **Timezone handling**: Properly converts naive datetimes to UTC
2. **URL normalization**: Strips trailing slashes for consistency
3. **Title extraction**: Leverages Note model's title property
4. **CDATA safety**: Defensive check for CDATA end markers (though unlikely)
5. **UTF-8 encoding**: Explicit UTF-8 encoding for international characters
**Assessment**: Excellent implementation. Clean, simple, and standards-compliant.
### 2.2 Feed Route (`starpunk/routes/public.py`) ✅
**Route**: `GET /feed.xml`
**Caching**: 5-minute in-memory cache with ETag support
#### Architecture Alignment
| Requirement (ADR-014) | Implementation | Status |
|----------------------|----------------|---------|
| 5-minute cache | In-memory `_feed_cache` dict | ✅ |
| ETag support | MD5 hash of feed content | ✅ |
| Cache-Control headers | `public, max-age={seconds}` | ✅ |
| Published notes only | `list_notes(published_only=True)` | ✅ |
| Configurable limit | `FEED_MAX_ITEMS` config | ✅ |
| Proper content type | `application/rss+xml; charset=utf-8` | ✅ |
#### Caching Implementation Analysis
**Cache Structure**:
```python
_feed_cache = {
'xml': None, # Cached feed XML
'timestamp': None, # Cache creation time
'etag': None # MD5 hash for conditional requests
}
```
**Cache Logic**:
1. Check if cache exists and is fresh (< 5 minutes old)
2. If fresh: return cached XML with ETag
3. If stale/empty: generate new feed, update cache, return with new ETag
**Performance Characteristics**:
- First request: Generates feed (~10-50ms depending on note count)
- Cached requests: Immediate response (~1ms)
- Cache expiration: Automatic after configurable duration
- ETag validation: Enables conditional requests (not yet implemented client-side)
**Scalability Notes**:
- In-memory cache acceptable for single-user system
- Cache shared across all requests (appropriate for public feed)
- No cache invalidation on note updates (5-minute delay acceptable per ADR-014)
**Assessment**: Caching implementation follows ADR-014 exactly. Appropriate for V1.
#### Security Review
**MD5 Usage** ⚠️ (Non-Issue):
- MD5 used for ETag generation (line 135)
- **Context**: ETags are not security-sensitive, used only for cache validation
- **Risk Level**: None - ETags don't require cryptographic strength
- **Recommendation**: Current use is appropriate; no change needed
**Published Notes Filter** ✅:
- Correctly uses `published_only=True` filter
- No draft notes exposed in feed
- Proper access control
**HTML Content** ✅:
- HTML sanitized by markdown renderer (python-markdown)
- CDATA wrapping prevents XSS in feed readers
- No raw user input in feed
**Assessment**: No security concerns. MD5 for ETags is appropriate use.
### 2.3 Configuration (`starpunk/config.py`) ✅
**New Configuration**:
- `FEED_MAX_ITEMS`: Maximum feed items (default: 50)
- `FEED_CACHE_SECONDS`: Cache duration in seconds (default: 300)
- `VERSION`: Updated to 0.6.0
#### Configuration Design
```python
app.config["FEED_MAX_ITEMS"] = int(os.getenv("FEED_MAX_ITEMS", "50"))
app.config["FEED_CACHE_SECONDS"] = int(os.getenv("FEED_CACHE_SECONDS", "300"))
```
**Strengths**:
- Environment variable override support
- Sensible defaults (50 items, 5 minutes)
- Type conversion (int) for safety
- Consistent with existing config patterns
**Assessment**: Configuration follows established patterns. Well done.
### 2.4 Template Integration (`templates/base.html`) ✅
**Changes**:
1. RSS auto-discovery link in `<head>`
2. RSS navigation link updated to use `url_for()`
#### Auto-Discovery Link
**Before**:
```html
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"
title="StarPunk RSS Feed" href="/feed.xml">
```
**After**:
```html
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"
title="{{ config.SITE_NAME }} RSS Feed"
href="{{ url_for('public.feed', _external=True) }}">
```
**Improvements**:
- ✅ Dynamic site name from configuration
- ✅ Absolute URL using `_external=True` (required for discovery)
- ✅ Proper Flask `url_for()` routing (no hardcoded paths)
#### Navigation Link
**Before**: `<a href="/feed.xml">RSS</a>`
**After**: `<a href="{{ url_for('public.feed') }}">RSS</a>`
**Improvement**: ✅ No hardcoded paths, consistent with Flask patterns
**IndieWeb Compliance** ✅:
- RSS auto-discovery enables browser detection
- Proper `rel="alternate"` relationship
- Correct MIME type (`application/rss+xml`)
**Assessment**: Template integration is clean and follows best practices.

---
## 6. Performance Analysis
### 6.1 Feed Generation Performance
**Timing Estimates** (based on implementation):
- Note query: ~5ms (database query for 50 notes)
- Feed generation: ~5-10ms (feedgen XML generation)
- **Total cold**: ~10-15ms
- **Total cached**: ~1ms
**Caching Effectiveness**:
- Cache hit rate (expected): >95% (5-minute cache, typical polling 15-60 min)
- Cache miss penalty: Minimal (~10ms regeneration)
- Memory footprint: ~10-50KB per cached feed (negligible)
### 6.2 Scalability Considerations
**Current Design** (V1):
- In-memory cache (single process)
- No cache invalidation on note updates
- 50 item limit (reasonable for personal blog)
**Scalability Limits**:
- Single-process cache doesn't scale horizontally
- 5-minute stale data on note updates
- No per-tag feeds
**V1 Assessment**: Appropriate for single-user system. Meets requirements.
**Future Enhancements** (V2+):
- Redis cache for multi-process deployments
- Cache invalidation on note publish/update
- Per-tag feed support
### 6.3 Database Impact
**Query Pattern**: `list_notes(published_only=True, limit=50)`
**Performance**:
- Index usage: Yes (published column)
- Result limit: 50 rows maximum
- Query frequency: Every 5 minutes (when cache expires)
- **Impact**: Negligible
---
## 7. Security Assessment
### 7.1 Access Control ✅
**Feed Route**: Public (no authentication required) ✅
**Content Filter**: Published notes only ✅
**Draft Exposure**: None (proper filtering) ✅
### 7.2 Content Security
**HTML Sanitization**:
- Source: python-markdown renderer (trusted)
- CDATA wrapping: Prevents XSS in feed readers
- No raw user input: Content rendered from markdown
**Special Characters**:
- XML escaping: Handled by feedgen library
- CDATA markers: Defensively broken by `clean_html_for_rss()`
- Unicode: Proper UTF-8 encoding
**Assessment**: Content security is robust.
### 7.3 Denial of Service
**Potential Vectors**:
1. **Rapid feed requests**: Mitigated by 5-minute cache
2. **Large feed generation**: Limited to 50 items
3. **Memory exhaustion**: Single cached feed (~10-50KB)
**Rate Limiting**: Not implemented (not required for V1 single-user system)
**Assessment**: DoS risk minimal. Cache provides adequate protection.
### 7.4 Information Disclosure
**Exposed Information**:
- Published notes (intended)
- Site name, URL, description (public)
- Note creation timestamps (public)
**Not Exposed**:
- Draft notes ✅
- Unpublished content ✅
- System paths ✅
- Internal IDs (uses slugs) ✅
**Assessment**: No inappropriate information disclosure.

# ADR-014: RSS Feed Implementation Strategy
## Status
Accepted
## Context
Phase 5 requires implementing RSS feed generation for syndicating published notes. We need to decide on the implementation approach, feed format, caching strategy, and technical details for generating a standards-compliant RSS feed.
### Requirements
1. **Standard Compliance**: Feed must be valid RSS 2.0
2. **Content Inclusion**: Include all published notes (up to configured limit)
3. **Performance**: Feed generation should be fast and cacheable
4. **Simplicity**: Minimal dependencies, straightforward implementation
5. **IndieWeb Friendly**: Support feed discovery and proper metadata
### Key Questions
1. Which feed format(s) should we support?
2. How should we generate the RSS XML?
3. What caching strategy should we use?
4. How should we handle note titles (notes may not have explicit titles)?
5. How should we format dates for RSS?
6. What should the feed item limit be?
## Decision
### 1. Feed Format: RSS 2.0 Only (V1)
**Choice**: Implement RSS 2.0 exclusively for V1
**Rationale**:
- RSS 2.0 is widely supported by all feed readers
- Simpler than Atom (fewer required elements)
- Sufficient for V1 needs (notes syndication)
- feedgen library handles RSS 2.0 well
- Defer Atom and JSON Feed to V2+
**Alternatives Considered**:
- **Atom 1.0**: More modern, better extensibility
- Rejected: More complex, not needed for basic notes
- May add in V2
- **JSON Feed**: Developer-friendly format
- Rejected: Less universal support, not essential
- May add in V2
- **Multiple formats**: Support RSS + Atom + JSON
- Rejected: Adds complexity, not justified for V1
- Single format keeps implementation simple
### 2. XML Generation: feedgen Library
**Choice**: Use feedgen library (already in dependencies)
**Rationale**:
- Already dependency (used in architecture overview)
- Handles RSS/Atom generation correctly
- Produces valid, compliant XML
- Saves time vs. manual XML generation
- Well-maintained, stable library
**Alternatives Considered**:
- **Manual XML generation** (ElementTree or string templates)
- Rejected: Error-prone, easy to produce invalid XML
- Would need extensive validation
- **PyRSS2Gen library**
- Rejected: Last updated 2007, unmaintained
- **Django Syndication Framework**
- Rejected: Requires Django, too heavyweight
### 3. Feed Caching Strategy: Simple In-Memory Cache
**Choice**: 5-minute in-memory cache with ETag support
**Implementation**:
```python
_feed_cache = {
'xml': None,
'timestamp': None,
'etag': None
}
# Cache for 5 minutes
if cache is fresh:
return cached_xml with ETag
else:
generate fresh feed
update cache
return new XML with new ETag
```
**Rationale**:
- 5 minutes is acceptable delay for note updates
- RSS readers typically poll every 15-60 minutes
- In-memory cache is simple (no external dependencies)
- ETag enables conditional requests
- Cache-Control header enables client-side caching
- Low complexity, easy to implement
**Alternatives Considered**:
- **No caching**: Generate on every request
- Rejected: Wasteful, feed generation involves DB + file reads
- **Flask-Caching with Redis**
- Rejected: Adds external dependency (Redis)
- Overkill for single-user system
- **File-based cache**
- Rejected: Complicates invalidation, I/O overhead
- **Longer cache duration** (30+ minutes)
- Rejected: Notes should appear reasonably quickly
- 5 minutes balances performance and freshness
### 4. Note Titles: First Line or Timestamp
**Choice**: Extract first line (max 100 chars) or use timestamp
**Algorithm**:
```python
def get_note_title(note):
# Try first line
lines = note.content.strip().split('\n')
if lines:
title = lines[0].strip('#').strip()
if title:
return title[:100] # Truncate to 100 chars
# Fall back to timestamp
return note.created_at.strftime('%B %d, %Y at %I:%M %p')
```
**Rationale**:
- Notes (per IndieWeb spec) don't have required titles
- First line often serves as implicit title
- Timestamp fallback ensures every item has title
- 100 char limit prevents overly long titles
- Simple, deterministic algorithm
**Alternatives Considered**:
- **Always use timestamp**: Too generic, not descriptive
- **Use content hash**: Not human-friendly
- **Require explicit title**: Breaks note simplicity
- **Use first sentence**: Complex parsing, can be long
- **Content preview (first 50 chars)**: May not be meaningful
### 5. Date Formatting: RFC-822
**Choice**: RFC-822 format as required by RSS 2.0 spec
**Format**: `Mon, 18 Nov 2024 12:00:00 +0000`
**Implementation**:
```python
def format_rfc822_date(dt):
"""Format datetime to RFC-822"""
# Ensure UTC
dt_utc = dt.replace(tzinfo=timezone.utc)
# RFC-822 format
return dt_utc.strftime('%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %z')
```
**Rationale**:
- Required by RSS 2.0 specification
- Standard format recognized by all feed readers
- Python datetime supports formatting
- Always use UTC to avoid timezone confusion
**Alternatives Considered**:
- **ISO 8601 format**: Used by Atom, not valid for RSS 2.0
- **Unix timestamp**: Not human-readable, not standard
- **Local timezone**: Ambiguous, causes parsing issues
### 6. Feed Item Limit: 50 (Configurable)
**Choice**: Default limit of 50 items, configurable via FEED_MAX_ITEMS
**Rationale**:
- 50 items is sufficient for typical use (notes, not articles)
- RSS readers handle 50 items well
- Keeps feed size reasonable (< 100KB typical)
- Configurable for users with different needs
- Balances completeness and performance
**Alternatives Considered**:
- **No limit**: Feed could become very large
- Rejected: Performance issues, large XML
- **Limit of 10-20**: Too few, users might want more history
- **Pagination**: Complex, not well-supported by readers
- Deferred to V2 if needed
- **Dynamic limit based on date**: Complicated logic
### 7. Content Inclusion: Full HTML in CDATA
**Choice**: Include full rendered HTML content in CDATA wrapper
**Format**:
```xml
<description><![CDATA[
<p>Rendered HTML content here</p>
]]></description>
```
**Rationale**:
- RSS readers expect HTML in description
- CDATA prevents XML parsing issues
- Already have rendered HTML from markdown
- Provides full context to readers
- Standard practice for content-rich feeds
**Alternatives Considered**:
- **Plain text only**: Loses formatting
- **Markdown in description**: Not rendered by readers
- **Summary/excerpt**: Notes are short, full content appropriate
- **External link only**: Forces reader to leave feed
### 8. Feed Discovery: Standard Link Element
**Choice**: Add `<link rel="alternate">` to all HTML pages
**Implementation**:
```html
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"
title="Site Name RSS Feed"
href="https://example.com/feed.xml">
```
**Rationale**:
- Standard HTML feed discovery mechanism
- RSS readers auto-detect feeds
- IndieWeb recommended practice
- No JavaScript required
- Works in all browsers
**Alternatives Considered**:
- **No discovery**: Users must know feed URL
- Rejected: Poor user experience
- **JavaScript-based discovery**: Unnecessary complexity
- **HTTP Link header**: Less common, harder to discover
## Implementation Details
### Module Structure
**File**: `starpunk/feed.py`
**Functions**:
1. `generate_feed()` - Main feed generation
2. `format_rfc822_date()` - Date formatting
3. `get_note_title()` - Title extraction
4. `clean_html_for_rss()` - HTML sanitization
**Dependencies**: feedgen library (already included)
### Route
**Path**: `/feed.xml`
**Handler**: `public.feed()` in `starpunk/routes/public.py`
**Caching**: In-memory cache + ETag + Cache-Control
### Configuration
**Environment Variables**:
- `FEED_MAX_ITEMS` - Maximum feed items (default: 50)
- `FEED_CACHE_SECONDS` - Cache duration (default: 300)
### Required Channel Elements
Per RSS 2.0 spec:
- `<title>` - Site name
- `<link>` - Site URL
- `<description>` - Site description
- `<language>` - en-us
- `<lastBuildDate>` - Feed generation time
- `<atom:link rel="self">` - Feed URL (for discovery)
### Required Item Elements
Per RSS 2.0 spec:
- `<title>` - Note title
- `<link>` - Note permalink
- `<guid isPermaLink="true">` - Note permalink
- `<pubDate>` - Note publication date
- `<description>` - Full HTML content in CDATA
## Consequences
### Positive
1. **Standard Compliance**: Valid RSS 2.0 feeds work everywhere
2. **Performance**: Caching reduces load, fast responses
3. **Simplicity**: Single feed format, straightforward implementation
4. **Reliability**: feedgen library ensures valid XML
5. **Flexibility**: Configurable limits accommodate different needs
6. **Discovery**: Auto-detection in feed readers
7. **Complete Content**: Full HTML in feed, no truncation
### Negative
1. **Single Format**: No Atom or JSON Feed in V1
- Mitigation: Can add in V2 if requested
2. **Fixed Cache Duration**: Not dynamically adjusted
- Mitigation: 5 minutes is reasonable compromise
3. **Memory-Based Cache**: Lost on restart
- Mitigation: Acceptable, regenerates quickly
4. **No Pagination**: Large archives not fully accessible
- Mitigation: 50 items is sufficient for notes
### Neutral
1. **Title Algorithm**: May not always produce ideal titles
- Acceptable: Notes don't require titles, algorithm is reasonable
2. **UTC Timestamps**: Users might prefer local time
- Standard: UTC is RSS standard practice
## Validation
The decision will be validated by:
1. **W3C Feed Validator**: Feed must pass without errors
2. **Feed Reader Testing**: Test in multiple readers (Feedly, NewsBlur, etc.)
3. **Performance Testing**: Feed generation < 100ms uncached
4. **Caching Testing**: Cache reduces load, serves stale correctly
5. **Standards Review**: RSS 2.0 spec compliance verification
## Alternatives Rejected
### Use Django Syndication Framework
**Reason**: Requires Django, which we're not using (Flask project)
### Generate RSS Manually with Templates
**Reason**: Error-prone, hard to maintain, easy to produce invalid XML
### Support Multiple Feed Formats in V1
**Reason**: Adds complexity without clear benefit, RSS 2.0 is sufficient
### No Feed Caching
**Reason**: Wasteful, feed generation involves DB + file I/O
### Per-Tag Feeds
**Reason**: V1 doesn't have tags, defer to V2
### WebSub (PubSubHubbub) Support
**Reason**: Adds complexity, external dependency, not essential for V1

# ADR-015: Phase 5 Implementation Approach
## Status
Accepted
## Context
The development team requested clarification on two implementation decisions for Phase 5:
1. Version numbering progression from current 0.5.1
2. Git workflow for implementing Phase 5 features
These decisions needed to be documented to ensure consistent implementation and provide clear guidance for future phases.
## Decision
### Version Numbering
We will increment the version directly from 0.5.1 to 0.6.0, skipping any intermediate patch versions (e.g., 0.5.2).
### Git Workflow
We will use a feature branch named `feature/phase-5-rss-container` for all Phase 5 development work.
## Rationale
### Version Numbering Rationale
1. **Semantic Versioning Compliance**: Phase 5 introduces significant new functionality (RSS feeds and production containerization), which according to semantic versioning warrants a minor version bump (0.5.x → 0.6.0).
2. **Clean Version History**: Jumping directly to 0.6.0 avoids creating intermediate versions that don't represent meaningful release points.
3. **Feature Significance**: RSS feed generation and production containerization are substantial features that justify a full minor version increment.
4. **Project Standards**: This aligns with our versioning strategy documented in `/docs/standards/versioning-strategy.md` where minor versions indicate new features.
### Git Workflow Rationale
1. **Clean History**: Using a feature branch keeps the main branch stable and provides a clear history of when Phase 5 was integrated.
2. **Easier Rollback**: If issues are discovered, the entire Phase 5 implementation can be rolled back by reverting a single merge commit.
3. **Code Review**: A feature branch enables proper PR review before merging to main, ensuring quality control.
4. **Project Standards**: This follows our git branching strategy for larger features as documented in `/docs/standards/git-branching-strategy.md`.
5. **Testing Isolation**: All Phase 5 work can be tested in isolation before affecting the main branch.
## Consequences
### Positive Consequences
- Clear version progression that reflects feature significance
- Clean git history with logical grouping of related commits
- Ability to review Phase 5 as a cohesive unit
- Simplified rollback if needed
- Consistent with project standards
### Negative Consequences
- Feature branch may diverge from main if Phase 5 takes extended time (mitigated by regular rebasing)
- No intermediate release points during Phase 5 development
### Neutral Consequences
- Developers must remember to work on feature branch, not main
- Version 0.5.2 through 0.5.9 will be skipped in version history
## Alternatives Considered
### Version Numbering Alternatives
1. **Incremental Patches**: Create 0.5.2 for RSS, 0.5.3 for container, etc.
- Rejected: Creates unnecessary version proliferation for work that is part of a single phase
2. **Jump to 1.0.0**: Mark Phase 5 completion as V1 release
- Rejected: V1 requires Micropub implementation (Phase 6) per project requirements
### Git Workflow Alternatives
1. **Direct to Main**: Implement directly on main branch
- Rejected: No isolation, harder rollback, messier history
2. **Multiple Feature Branches**: Separate branches for RSS and container
- Rejected: These features are part of the same phase and should be reviewed together
3. **Long-lived Development Branch**: Create a `develop` branch
- Rejected: Adds unnecessary complexity for a small project
## Implementation Notes
The developer should:
1. Create feature branch: `git checkout -b feature/phase-5-rss-container`
2. Update version in `starpunk/__init__.py` from `"0.5.1"` to `"0.6.0"` as first commit
3. Implement all Phase 5 features on this branch
4. Create PR when complete for review
5. Merge to main via PR
6. Tag release after merge: `git tag -a v0.6.0 -m "Release 0.6.0: RSS feed and production container"`

# Phase 5 Executive Summary
**Date**: 2025-11-18
**Version**: v0.5.2 → v0.6.0
**Status**: Design Complete, Ready for Implementation
## What Is Phase 5?
Phase 5 implements two critical features for StarPunk:
1. **RSS Feed Generation**: Allow RSS readers to subscribe to your notes
2. **Production Container**: Enable deployment with HTTPS for real IndieAuth testing
## Why These Features Together?
**RSS Feed** completes the core V1 content syndication feature set. Readers can now subscribe to your notes via any RSS reader (Feedly, NewsBlur, etc.).
**Production Container** solves a critical problem: **IndieAuth requires HTTPS**. You can't properly test authentication on localhost. The container allows you to deploy StarPunk on a public server with HTTPS, enabling full IndieAuth testing with your real domain.
## What You'll Get
### 1. RSS 2.0 Feed (`/feed.xml`)
**Features**:
- Valid RSS 2.0 XML feed
- Recent 50 published notes (configurable)
- Proper RFC-822 date formatting
- Full HTML content in each entry
- Auto-discovery (RSS readers detect it automatically)
- 5-minute server-side caching for performance
**User Experience**:
```
1. You publish a note via StarPunk
2. RSS feed updates (within 5 minutes)
3. RSS readers poll your feed
4. Your subscribers see your new note
```
**Standards Compliant**:
- Validates with W3C Feed Validator
- Works with all RSS readers
- Includes proper metadata
- IndieWeb friendly
### 2. Production-Ready Container
**Features**:
- Podman and Docker compatible
- Multi-stage optimized build
- Non-root user for security
- Gunicorn WSGI server (4 workers)
- Health check endpoint
- Data persistence via volume mounts
- Environment variable configuration
- Production logging
**Deployment**:
```
1. Build container (Podman or Docker)
2. Run on public server
3. Configure reverse proxy (Caddy or Nginx)
4. HTTPS via Let's Encrypt
5. Test IndieAuth with real domain
```
**Why This Matters**:
- IndieAuth **requires** HTTPS (can't test on localhost)
- Container provides clean, reproducible deployment
- Data persists across restarts
- Easy to backup (just backup the volume)
- Professional deployment ready for production use
## File Structure
### New Files Created

## Current Status
### Codebase State: ✅ EXCELLENT
- **Version**: v0.5.2
- **Tests**: 405/406 passing (99.75%)
- **Coverage**: 87%
- **Code Quality**: Formatted (Black), Linted (Flake8)
- **Architecture**: Sound, well-structured
- **Dependencies**: All required dependencies already present
### Phase 4 Completion: ✅ COMPLETE
All prerequisites met:
- Web interface fully functional
- Authentication working (IndieAuth + dev mode)
- Note CRUD operations tested
- Templates with microformats
- Testing infrastructure solid
### Phase 5 Readiness: ✅ READY
No blockers identified:
- feedgen library already in requirements.txt
- Database schema supports RSS queries
- Route blueprint ready for /feed.xml
- All architectural decisions made
- Comprehensive design documentation
## Implementation Path
### Recommended Sequence
**Part 1: RSS Feed** (3-4 hours)
1. Create `starpunk/feed.py` module
2. Add `/feed.xml` route with caching
3. Update templates with RSS discovery
4. Write tests
5. Validate with W3C
**Part 2: Container** (3-4 hours)
1. Create Containerfile
2. Create compose.yaml
3. Add health check endpoint
4. Test build and run
5. Test data persistence
**Part 3: Production Testing** (2-3 hours)
1. Deploy container to public server
2. Configure reverse proxy (HTTPS)
3. Test IndieAuth authentication
4. Verify RSS feed in readers
5. Document deployment
**Part 4: Documentation** (1-2 hours)
1. Update CHANGELOG.md
2. Increment version to 0.6.0
3. Create deployment guide
4. Create implementation report
**Total Time**: 9-13 hours
## Key Design Decisions (ADR-014)
### RSS Format: RSS 2.0 Only (V1)
- **Why**: Universal support, simpler than Atom
- **Deferred**: Atom and JSON Feed to V2
### XML Generation: feedgen Library
- **Why**: Reliable, tested, produces valid XML
- **Avoided**: Manual XML (error-prone)
### Caching: 5-Minute In-Memory Cache
- **Why**: Reduces load, reasonable delay
- **Benefit**: Fast responses, ETag support
### Note Titles: First Line or Timestamp
- **Why**: Notes don't require titles (per IndieWeb)
- **Fallback**: Timestamp if no first line
### Feed Limit: 50 Items (Configurable)
- **Why**: Reasonable balance
- **Configurable**: FEED_MAX_ITEMS env variable
## Quality Gates
Phase 5 is complete when:
### Functional
- [ ] RSS feed validates with W3C validator
- [ ] Feed appears correctly in RSS readers
- [ ] Container builds (Podman + Docker)
- [ ] Health check endpoint works
- [ ] Data persists across restarts
- [ ] IndieAuth works with HTTPS
### Quality
- [ ] All tests pass (>405 tests)
- [ ] Coverage >85%
- [ ] No linting errors
- [ ] Code formatted
### Documentation
- [ ] CHANGELOG updated
- [ ] Version incremented to 0.6.0
- [ ] Deployment guide complete
- [ ] Implementation report created
## What Happens After Phase 5?
### V1 Feature Set Progress
**Completed after Phase 5**:
- ✅ Note storage and management
- ✅ IndieAuth authentication
- ✅ Web interface
- ✅ RSS feed generation
- ✅ Production deployment capability
**Remaining for V1**:
- ⏳ Micropub endpoint (Phase 6)
- ⏳ Final integration testing
- ⏳ V1.0.0 release
### Version Progression
```
v0.5.2 (current) → Phase 5 → v0.6.0 → Phase 6 → v0.7.0 → V1.0.0
RSS + Micropub Final
Container Polish
```
## Container Deployment Example
### Quick Start (Production)
```bash
# On your public server
git clone <your-repo>
cd starpunk
# Configure
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env: Set SITE_URL, ADMIN_ME, SESSION_SECRET
# Create data directory
mkdir -p container-data/notes
# Run with Podman
podman-compose up -d
# Configure Caddy (auto-HTTPS)
# Edit Caddyfile: Set your-domain.com
caddy run
# Visit https://your-domain.com
# RSS feed: https://your-domain.com/feed.xml
# Admin: https://your-domain.com/admin/login
```
That's it! Full HTTPS, working IndieAuth, RSS feed available.
## RSS Feed Example
Once deployed, your feed will look like:
```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<title>My StarPunk Site</title>
<link>https://your-domain.com/</link>
<description>My personal IndieWeb site</description>
<item>
<title>My Latest Note</title>
<link>https://your-domain.com/note/my-latest-note</link>
<guid>https://your-domain.com/note/my-latest-note</guid>
<pubDate>Mon, 18 Nov 2024 10:30:00 +0000</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
<p>Full HTML content of your note here</p>
]]></description>
</item>
<!-- More items... -->
</channel>
</rss>
```
## Testing IndieAuth with Container
**Before Phase 5**: Can't test IndieAuth properly (localhost doesn't work)
**After Phase 5**:
1. Deploy container to `https://your-domain.com`
2. Set `ADMIN_ME=https://your-identity.com`
3. Visit `https://your-domain.com/admin/login`
4. Enter your identity URL
5. IndieLogin redirects you for authentication
6. Authenticate via your method (GitHub, email, etc.)
7. IndieLogin redirects back to your domain
8. **It works!** You're logged in
## Risk Mitigation
### Identified Risks & Solutions
**Risk**: RSS feed invalid XML
- **Solution**: Use feedgen library (tested)
- **Validation**: W3C validator before commit
**Risk**: Container fails to build
- **Solution**: Multi-stage build, tested locally
- **Fallback**: Can still deploy without container
**Risk**: IndieAuth callback fails
- **Solution**: Example configs provided
- **Testing**: Step-by-step testing guide
**Risk**: Data loss in container
- **Solution**: Volume mounts, tested persistence
- **Backup**: Easy to backup volume directory

**Phase**: 5 - RSS Feed & Production Container
**Version**: 0.6.0
**Status**: Implementation Ready
## Pre-Implementation Setup
### Version Numbering
**Decision**: Go directly from 0.5.1 → 0.6.0
- Phase 5 introduces significant new functionality (RSS feeds and container deployment)
- Skip intermediate versions (e.g., 0.5.2) - go straight to 0.6.0
- This follows semantic versioning for new feature additions
### Git Workflow
**Decision**: Use feature branch `feature/phase-5-rss-container`
1. Create and checkout feature branch:
```bash
git checkout -b feature/phase-5-rss-container
```
2. Implement all Phase 5 features on this branch
3. Create PR to merge into main when complete
4. This provides cleaner history and easier rollback if needed
## Overview

## Key Implementation Details
### RSS Feed Module
**File**: `starpunk/feed.py`
**Core Function**:
```python
from feedgen.feed import FeedGenerator
from starpunk.notes import list_notes
def generate_feed(site_url, site_name, site_description, notes, limit=50):
"""Generate RSS 2.0 XML feed"""
fg = FeedGenerator()
# Set channel metadata
fg.title(site_name)
fg.link(href=site_url, rel='alternate')
fg.description(site_description)
fg.language('en')
fg.link(href=f'{site_url}/feed.xml', rel='self')
# Add items
for note in notes[:limit]:
fe = fg.add_entry()
fe.title(get_note_title(note))
fe.link(href=f'{site_url}/note/{note.slug}')
fe.guid(f'{site_url}/note/{note.slug}', permalink=True)
fe.pubDate(note.created_at.replace(tzinfo=timezone.utc))
fe.description(note.html) # HTML content
return fg.rss_str(pretty=True).decode('utf-8')
```
### Feed Route
**File**: `starpunk/routes/public.py`
**Add to existing blueprint**:
```python
@bp.route("/feed.xml")
def feed():
"""RSS 2.0 feed endpoint with caching"""
# Check cache (implementation in design doc)
# Generate feed if cache expired
# Return XML with proper headers
pass
```
### Health Check Endpoint
**File**: `starpunk/__init__.py`
**Add before return app**:
```python
@app.route('/health')
def health_check():
"""Container health check"""
try:
# Check database and filesystem
return jsonify({'status': 'healthy', 'version': '0.6.0'}), 200
except Exception as e:
return jsonify({'status': 'unhealthy', 'error': str(e)}), 500
```
### Containerfile
**Key Sections**:
```dockerfile
# Multi-stage build for smaller image
FROM python:3.11-slim AS builder
# ... install dependencies in venv ...
FROM python:3.11-slim
# ... copy venv, run as non-root ...
CMD ["gunicorn", "--bind", "0.0.0.0:8000", "--workers", "4", "app:app"]
```
## Testing Commands
### RSS Feed Testing
```bash
# Unit tests
uv run pytest tests/test_feed.py -v
# Route tests
uv run pytest tests/test_routes_feed.py -v
# Manual test

```
### Container Testing
```bash
# Build with Podman
podman build -t starpunk:0.6.0 -f Containerfile .
# Build with Docker
docker build -t starpunk:0.6.0 -f Containerfile .
# Run with Podman

podman run -d --name starpunk \
-p 127.0.0.1:8000:8000 \
-v $(pwd)/container-data:/data:rw,Z \
--env-file .env \
starpunk:0.6.0
# Check health
curl http://localhost:8000/health
# Check feed
curl http://localhost:8000/feed.xml
# View logs
podman logs starpunk
# Test with compose
podman-compose up -d
podman-compose logs -f
```
## Configuration Examples
### .env for Container
```bash
# Required
SITE_URL=https://your-domain.com
SITE_NAME=My StarPunk Site
ADMIN_ME=https://your-identity.com
SESSION_SECRET=<random-secret>
# Feed configuration
FEED_MAX_ITEMS=50
FEED_CACHE_SECONDS=300
# Container configuration
VERSION=0.6.0
ENVIRONMENT=production
WORKERS=4
FLASK_ENV=production
FLASK_DEBUG=0
```
### Caddy Reverse Proxy
```caddy
your-domain.com {
reverse_proxy localhost:8000
log {
output file /var/log/caddy/starpunk.log
}
encode gzip zstd
}
```
### Nginx Reverse Proxy
```nginx
upstream starpunk {
server localhost:8000;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
server_name your-domain.com;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/your-domain.com/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/your-domain.com/privkey.pem;
location / {
proxy_pass http://starpunk;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}
}
```
## Common Issues & Solutions
### Issue: Feed not updating
**Solution**: Check cache duration (5 minutes default), force refresh by restarting
### Issue: Container won't start
**Solution**: Check logs (`podman logs starpunk`), verify .env file exists
### Issue: IndieAuth callback fails
**Solution**: Verify SITE_URL matches public URL exactly (no trailing slash)
### Issue: Data not persisting
**Solution**: Check volume mount is correct, verify permissions
### Issue: RSS validation errors
**Solution**: Check date formatting (RFC-822), verify XML structure
## Deployment Workflow
### 1. Local Testing
```bash
# Test feed locally
uv run flask --app app.py run --debug
curl http://localhost:5000/feed.xml
```
### 2. Container Testing
```bash
# Build and test container
podman build -t starpunk:0.6.0 .
podman run -d -p 8000:8000 --name starpunk-test starpunk:0.6.0
curl http://localhost:8000/health
```
### 3. Production Deployment
```bash
# On server
git clone <repo>
cd starpunk
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with production values
# Build and run
podman-compose up -d
# Configure reverse proxy (Caddy or Nginx)
# Set up HTTPS with certbot or Caddy auto-HTTPS
# Test IndieAuth
# Visit https://your-domain.com/admin/login
```

## Phase 5 Implementation Prerequisites
### ✅ All Prerequisites Met
1. **Phase 4 Complete**: Web interface fully functional
2. **Authentication Working**: Both production and dev auth
3. **Notes Module Stable**: CRUD operations tested
4. **Templates Functional**: Microformats markup correct
5. **Testing Infrastructure**: Ready for new tests
6. **Documentation Standards**: ADR template established
7. **Versioning Strategy**: Clear versioning path to 0.6.0
8. **Dependencies Available**: feedgen ready to use
### Architectural Decisions Locked In
These decisions from previous phases support Phase 5:
**ADR-001**: Flask framework - supports RSS route easily
**ADR-002**: Minimal Flask extensions - feedgen is appropriate
**ADR-003**: Server-side rendering - feed generation fits
**ADR-004**: File-based storage - notes easily accessible
**ADR-007**: Slug generation - perfect for feed GUIDs
**ADR-008**: Semantic versioning - 0.6.0 is correct bump
**ADR-009**: Git branching - trunk-based development continues
## Recommendations for Phase 5
### 1. Implementation Order
**Recommended Sequence**:
1. RSS feed module first (core functionality)
2. Feed route with caching
3. Template updates (discovery links)
4. RSS tests (unit + route)
5. Validation with W3C validator
6. Container implementation
7. Health check endpoint
8. Container testing
9. Production deployment testing
10. Documentation updates
**Rationale**: RSS is primary deliverable, container enables testing
### 2. Testing Strategy
**RSS Testing**:
- Unit test feed generation with mock notes
- Route test with actual database
- Validate XML structure
- Test caching behavior
- W3C Feed Validator (manual)
- Multiple RSS readers (manual)
**Container Testing**:
- Build test (Podman + Docker)
- Startup test
- Health check test
- Data persistence test
- Compose orchestration test
- Production deployment test (with HTTPS)
### 3. Quality Gates
Phase 5 should not be considered complete unless:
- [ ] RSS feed validates with W3C validator
- [ ] Feed appears correctly in at least 2 RSS readers
- [ ] Container builds successfully with both Podman and Docker
- [ ] Health check endpoint returns 200
- [ ] Data persists across container restarts
- [ ] IndieAuth tested with public HTTPS URL
- [ ] All tests pass (target: >405/410 tests)
- [ ] Test coverage remains >85%
- [ ] CHANGELOG updated
- [ ] Version incremented to 0.6.0
- [ ] Implementation report created
### 4. Risk Mitigation
**Risk**: RSS feed produces invalid XML
- **Mitigation**: Use feedgen library (tested, reliable)
- **Validation**: W3C validator before commit
**Risk**: Container fails to build
- **Mitigation**: Multi-stage build tested locally first
- **Fallback**: Can still deploy without container
**Risk**: IndieAuth fails with HTTPS
- **Mitigation**: Clear documentation, example configs
- **Testing**: Test with real public URL before release
**Risk**: Feed caching causes stale content
- **Mitigation**: 5-minute cache is reasonable
- **Control**: Configurable via FEED_CACHE_SECONDS
## Phase 5 Design Validation
### Design Documents Review
**phase-5-rss-and-container.md**: ✅ COMPREHENSIVE
- Clear scope definition
- Detailed specifications
- Implementation guidance
- Testing strategy
- Risk assessment
**ADR-014-rss-feed-implementation.md**: ✅ COMPLETE
- Technology choices justified
- Alternatives considered
- Consequences documented
- Standards referenced
**phase-5-quick-reference.md**: ✅ PRACTICAL
- Implementation checklist
- Code examples
- Testing commands
- Common issues documented
### Design Alignment
**Architecture Principles**: ✅ ALIGNED
- Minimal code (feedgen, no manual XML)
- Standards first (RSS 2.0, RFC-822)
- No lock-in (RSS is universal)
- Progressive enhancement (no JS required)
- Single responsibility (feed.py does one thing)
**V1 Requirements**: ✅ SATISFIED
- RSS feed generation ✓
- API-first architecture ✓
- Self-hostable deployment ✓ (via container)
## Code Review Findings
### Strengths to Maintain
1. **Consistent Code Style**: All files follow same patterns
2. **Clear Module Boundaries**: No cross-cutting concerns
3. **Comprehensive Error Handling**: All edge cases covered
4. **Security Conscious**: Proper validation, no SQL injection
5. **Well-Tested**: High coverage, meaningful tests
### Areas for Phase 5 Attention
1. **Cache Management**: Implement simple, correct caching
2. **Date Formatting**: RFC-822 requires specific format
3. **XML Generation**: Use feedgen correctly, don't hand-craft
4. **Container Security**: Non-root user, proper permissions
5. **Health Checks**: Meaningful checks, not just HTTP 200

## Issues Found
**Critical**: None
**High Priority**: None
**Medium Priority**: None
**Low Priority**:
1. One pre-existing test failure (not blocking)
2. Health check could be enhanced (not required for V1)
3. CSP allows inline scripts (acceptable for single-user system)
None of these issues block merge and release.
