+
+## [1.1.2] - 2025-11-28
+
+### Fixed
+- **CRITICAL**: Static files now load correctly - fixed HTTP middleware streaming response handling
+  - HTTP metrics middleware was accessing `.data` on streaming responses (Flask's `send_from_directory`)
+  - This caused RuntimeError: "Attempted implicit sequence conversion but the response object is in direct passthrough mode"
+  - Now checks `direct_passthrough` attribute before accessing response data
+  - Gracefully falls back to `content_length` for streaming responses
+  - Fixes complete site failure (no CSS/JS loading)
+
+- **HIGH**: Database metrics now display correctly - fixed configuration key mismatch
+  - Config sets `METRICS_SAMPLING_RATE` (singular), metrics read `METRICS_SAMPLING_RATES` (plural)
+  - Mismatch caused fallback to hardcoded 10% sampling regardless of config
+  - Fixed key to use `METRICS_SAMPLING_RATE` (singular) consistently
+  - MetricsBuffer now accepts both float (global rate) and dict (per-type rates)
+  - Increased default sampling rate from 10% to 100% for low-traffic sites
+
+### Changed
+- Default metrics sampling rate increased from 10% to 100%
+  - Better visibility for low-traffic single-user deployments
+  - Configurable via `METRICS_SAMPLING_RATE` environment variable (0.0-1.0)

+- Comprehensive error handling with clear messages
+- 35 new tests covering all discovery scenarios
+
+### Technical Details
+
+#### Migration Race Condition Fix
+- Modified `starpunk/migrations.py` to wrap migration execution in `BEGIN IMMEDIATE` transaction
+- Each worker attempts to acquire RESERVED lock; only one succeeds
+- Other workers retry with exponential backoff (100ms base, doubling each attempt, plus jitter)
+- Workers that arrive late detect completed migrations and exit gracefully
+- Timeout protection: 30s per connection attempt, 120s absolute maximum
+- Comprehensive error messages guide operators to resolution steps
+
+#### Endpoint Discovery Implementation
+- Discovery priority: HTTP Link headers (highest), then HTML link elements
+- Profile URL fetch timeout: 5 seconds (cached results)
+- Token verification timeout: 3 seconds (per request)
+- Maximum 3 retries for server errors (500-504) and network failures
+- No retries for client errors (400, 401, 403, 404)
+- Single-user cache structure (no profile URL mapping needed in V1)
+- Grace period: Uses expired endpoint cache if fresh discovery fails
+- V2-ready: Cache structure can be upgraded to dict-based for multi-user
+
+### Breaking Changes
+- `TOKEN_ENDPOINT` environment variable no longer used (will show deprecation warning)
+- Micropub now requires discoverable IndieAuth endpoints in `ADMIN_ME` profile
+- ADMIN_ME profile must include `<link rel="token_endpoint">` or HTTP Link header
+
+### Migration Guide
+See `docs/migration/fix-hardcoded-endpoints.md` for detailed migration steps:
+1. Ensure your ADMIN_ME profile has IndieAuth link elements
+2. Remove TOKEN_ENDPOINT from your .env file
+3. Restart StarPunk - endpoints will be discovered automatically
+
+### Configuration
+Updated requirements:
+- `ADMIN_ME`: Required, must be a valid profile URL with IndieAuth endpoints
+- `TOKEN_ENDPOINT`: Deprecated, will be ignored (remove from configuration)
+
+### Tests
+- 536 tests passing (excluding timing-sensitive migration race tests)
+- 35 new endpoint discovery tests:
+  - Link header parsing (absolute and relative URLs)
+  - HTML parsing (including malformed HTML)
+  - Discovery priority (Link headers over HTML)
+  - HTTPS validation (production vs debug mode)
+  - Caching behavior (TTL, expiry, grace period)
+  - Token verification (success, errors, retries)
+  - URL normalization and scope checking
+
+## [1.0.0-rc.4] - 2025-11-24
+
+### Complete IndieAuth Server Removal (Phases 1-4)
+
+StarPunk no longer acts as an IndieAuth authorization server. All IndieAuth operations are now delegated to external providers (e.g., IndieLogin.com). This simplifies the codebase and aligns with IndieWeb best practices.
+
+### Removed
+- **Phase 1**: Authorization Endpoint
+  - Deleted `/auth/authorization` endpoint and `authorization_endpoint()` function
+  - Removed authorization consent UI template (`templates/auth/authorize.html`)
+  - Removed authorization-related imports: `create_authorization_code` and `validate_scope`
+  - Deleted tests: `tests/test_routes_authorization.py`, `tests/test_auth_pkce.py`
+
+- **Phase 2**: Token Issuance
+  - Deleted `/auth/token` endpoint and `token_endpoint()` function
+  - Removed all token issuance functionality
+  - Deleted tests: `tests/test_routes_token.py`
+
+- **Phase 3**: Token Storage
+  - Deleted `starpunk/tokens.py` module entirely
+  - Dropped `tokens` and `authorization_codes` database tables (migration 004)
+  - Removed token CRUD and verification functions
+  - Deleted tests: `tests/test_tokens.py`
+
+### Added
+- **Phase 4**: External Token Verification
+  - New module `starpunk/auth_external.py` for external IndieAuth token verification
+  - `verify_external_token()` function to verify tokens with external providers
+  - `check_scope()` function moved from tokens module
+  - Configuration: `TOKEN_ENDPOINT` for external token endpoint URL
+  - HTTP client (httpx) for token verification requests
+  - Proper error handling for unreachable auth servers
+  - Timeout protection (5s) for external verification requests
+
+### Changed
+- **Micropub endpoint** now verifies tokens with external IndieAuth providers
+  - Updated `routes/micropub.py` to use `verify_external_token()`
+  - Updated `micropub.py` to import `check_scope` from `auth_external`
+  - All Micropub tests updated to mock external verification
+
+- **Migrations**:
+  - Migration 003: Remove `code_verifier` column from `auth_state` table
+  - Migration 004: Drop `tokens` and `authorization_codes` tables
+  - Both migrations applied automatically on startup
+
+- **Tests**: All 501 tests passing
+  - Fixed migration tests to work with current schema (no `code_verifier`)
+  - Updated Micropub tests to mock external token verification
+  - Fixed test fixtures and app context usage
+  - Removed 38 obsolete token-related tests
+
+### Configuration
+New required configuration for production:
+- `TOKEN_ENDPOINT`: External IndieAuth token endpoint (e.g., https://tokens.indieauth.com/token)
+- `ADMIN_ME`: Site owner's identity URL (already required)
+
+### Technical Details
+- External token verification follows IndieAuth specification
+- Tokens verified via GET request with Authorization header
+- Token response validated for required fields (me, client_id, scope)
+- Only tokens matching `ADMIN_ME` are accepted
+- Graceful degradation if external server unavailable
+
+### Breaking Changes
+- **Micropub clients** must obtain tokens from external IndieAuth providers
+- Existing internal tokens are invalid (tables dropped in migration 004)
+- `TOKEN_ENDPOINT` configuration required for Micropub to function
+
+### Migration Guide
+1. Choose external IndieAuth provider (recommended: IndieLogin.com)
+2. Set `TOKEN_ENDPOINT` environment variable
+3. Existing sessions unaffected - admin login still works
+4. Micropub clients need new tokens from external provider
+
+### Standards Compliance
+- Fully compliant with W3C IndieAuth specification
+- Follows IndieWeb principle: delegate to external services
+- OAuth 2.0 Bearer token authentication maintained
+
+### Related Documentation
+- ADR-030: IndieAuth Provider Removal Strategy
+- ADR-050: Remove Custom IndieAuth Server
+- Implementation report: `docs/reports/2025-11-24-indieauth-removal-complete.md`
+
+### Notes
+- This completes the transition from self-hosted IndieAuth to external delegation
+- Simpler codebase: -500 lines of code, -5 database tables
+- More secure: External providers handle token security
+- More maintainable: Less code to secure and update
+

+# IndieAuth Endpoint Discovery: Definitive Implementation Answers
+
+**Date**: 2025-11-24
+**Architect**: StarPunk Software Architect
+**Status**: APPROVED FOR IMPLEMENTATION
+**Target Version**: 1.0.0-rc.5
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+These are definitive answers to the developer's 10 questions about IndieAuth endpoint discovery implementation. The developer should implement exactly as specified here.
+
+---
+
+## CRITICAL ANSWERS (Blocking Implementation)
+
+### Answer 1: The "Which Endpoint?" Problem ✅
+
+**DEFINITIVE ANSWER**: For StarPunk V1 (single-user CMS), ALWAYS use ADMIN_ME for endpoint discovery.
+
+Your proposed solution is **100% CORRECT**:
+
+```python
+def verify_external_token(token: str) -> Optional[Dict[str, Any]]:
+    """Verify token for the admin user"""
+    admin_me = current_app.config.get("ADMIN_ME")
+
+    # ALWAYS discover endpoints from ADMIN_ME profile
+    endpoints = discover_endpoints(admin_me)
+    token_endpoint = endpoints['token_endpoint']
+
+    # Verify token with discovered endpoint
+    response = httpx.get(
+        token_endpoint,
+        headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {token}'}
+    )
+
+    token_info = response.json()
+
+    # Validate token belongs to admin
+    if normalize_url(token_info['me']) != normalize_url(admin_me):
+        raise TokenVerificationError("Token not for admin user")
+
+    return token_info
+```
+
+**Rationale**:
+- StarPunk V1 is explicitly single-user
+- Only the admin (ADMIN_ME) can post to the CMS
+- Any token not belonging to ADMIN_ME is invalid by definition
+- This eliminates the chicken-and-egg problem completely
+
+**Important**: Document this single-user assumption clearly in the code comments. When V2 adds multi-user support, this will need revisiting.
+
+### Answer 2a: Cache Structure ✅
+
+**DEFINITIVE ANSWER**: Use a SIMPLE cache for V1 single-user.
+
+```python
+class EndpointCache:
+    def __init__(self):
+        # Simple cache for single-user V1
+        self.endpoints = None
+        self.endpoints_expire = 0
+        self.token_cache = {}  # token_hash -> (info, expiry)
+```
+
+**Rationale**:
+- We only have one user (ADMIN_ME) in V1
+- No need for profile_url -> endpoints mapping
+- Simplest solution that works
+- Easy to upgrade to dict-based for V2 multi-user
+
+### Answer 3a: BeautifulSoup4 Dependency ✅
+
+**DEFINITIVE ANSWER**: YES, add BeautifulSoup4 as a dependency.
+
+```toml
+# pyproject.toml
+[project.dependencies]
+beautifulsoup4 = ">=4.12.0"
+```
+
+**Rationale**:
+- Industry standard for HTML parsing
+- More robust than regex or built-in parser
+- Pure Python (with html.parser backend)
+- Well-maintained and documented
+- Worth the dependency for correctness
+
+---
+
+## IMPORTANT ANSWERS (Affects Quality)
+
+### Answer 2b: Token Hashing ✅
+
+**DEFINITIVE ANSWER**: YES, hash tokens with SHA-256.
+
+```python
+token_hash = hashlib.sha256(token.encode()).hexdigest()
+```
+
+**Rationale**:
+- Prevents tokens appearing in logs
+- Fixed-length cache keys
+- Security best practice
+- NO need for HMAC (we're not signing, just hashing)
+- NO need for constant-time comparison (cache lookup, not authentication)
+
+### Answer 2c: Cache Invalidation ✅
+
+**DEFINITIVE ANSWER**: Clear cache on:
+1. **Application startup** (cache is in-memory)
+2. **TTL expiry** (automatic)
+3. **NOT on failures** (could be transient network issues)
+4. **NO manual endpoint needed** for V1
+
+### Answer 2d: Cache Storage ✅
+
+**DEFINITIVE ANSWER**: Custom EndpointCache class with simple dict.
+
+```python
+class EndpointCache:
+    """Simple in-memory cache with TTL support"""
+
+    def __init__(self):
+        self.endpoints = None
+        self.endpoints_expire = 0
+        self.token_cache = {}
+
+    def get_endpoints(self):
+        if time.time() < self.endpoints_expire:
+            return self.endpoints
+        return None
+
+    def set_endpoints(self, endpoints, ttl=3600):
+        self.endpoints = endpoints
+        self.endpoints_expire = time.time() + ttl
+```
+
+**Rationale**:
+- Simple and explicit
+- No external dependencies
+- Easy to test
+- Clear TTL handling
+
+### Answer 3b: HTML Validation ✅
+
+**DEFINITIVE ANSWER**: Handle malformed HTML gracefully.
+
+```python
+try:
+    soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser')
+    # Look for links in both head and body (be liberal)
+    for link in soup.find_all('link', rel=True):
+        # Process...
+except Exception as e:
+    logger.warning(f"HTML parsing failed: {e}")
+    return {}  # Return empty, don't crash
+```
+
+### Answer 3c: Case Sensitivity ✅
+
+**DEFINITIVE ANSWER**: BeautifulSoup handles this correctly by default. No special handling needed.
+
+### Answer 4a: Link Header Parsing ✅
+
+**DEFINITIVE ANSWER**: Use simple regex, document limitations.
+
+```python
+def _parse_link_header(self, header: str) -> Dict[str, str]:
+    """Parse Link header (basic RFC 8288 support)
+
+    Note: Only supports quoted rel values, single Link headers
+    """
+    pattern = r'<([^>]+)>;\s*rel="([^"]+)"'
+    matches = re.findall(pattern, header)
+    # ... process matches
+```
+
+**Rationale**:
+- Simple implementation for V1
+- Document limitations clearly
+- Can upgrade if needed later
+- Avoids additional dependencies
+
+### Answer 4b: Multiple Headers ✅
+
+**DEFINITIVE ANSWER**: Your regex with re.findall() is correct. It handles both cases.
+
+### Answer 4c: Priority Order ✅
+
+**DEFINITIVE ANSWER**: Option B - Merge with Link header overwriting HTML.
+
+```python
+endpoints = {}
+# First get from HTML
+endpoints.update(html_endpoints)
+# Then overwrite with Link headers (higher priority)
+endpoints.update(link_header_endpoints)
+```
+
+### Answer 5a: URL Validation ✅
+
+**DEFINITIVE ANSWER**: Validate with these checks:
+
+```python
+def validate_endpoint_url(url: str) -> bool:
+    parsed = urlparse(url)
+
+    # Must be absolute
+    if not parsed.scheme or not parsed.netloc:
+        raise DiscoveryError("Invalid URL format")
+
+    # HTTPS required in production
+    if not current_app.debug and parsed.scheme != 'https':
+        raise DiscoveryError("HTTPS required in production")
+
+    # Allow localhost only in debug mode
+    if not current_app.debug and parsed.hostname in ['localhost', '127.0.0.1', '::1']:
+        raise DiscoveryError("Localhost not allowed in production")
+
+    return True
+```
+
+### Answer 5b: URL Normalization ✅
+
+**DEFINITIVE ANSWER**: Normalize only for comparison, not storage.
+
+```python
+def normalize_url(url: str) -> str:
+    """Normalize URL for comparison only"""
+    return url.rstrip("/").lower()
+```
+
+Store endpoints as discovered, normalize only when comparing.
+
+### Answer 5c: Relative URL Edge Cases ✅
+
+**DEFINITIVE ANSWER**: Let urljoin() handle it, document behavior.
+
+Python's urljoin() handles first two cases correctly. For the third (broken) case, let it fail naturally. Don't try to be clever.
+
+### Answer 6a: Discovery Failures ✅
+
+**DEFINITIVE ANSWER**: Fail closed with grace period.
+
+```python
+def discover_endpoints(profile_url: str) -> Dict[str, str]:
+    try:
+        # Try discovery
+        endpoints = self._fetch_and_parse(profile_url)
+        self.cache.set_endpoints(endpoints)
+        return endpoints
+    except Exception as e:
+        # Check cache even if expired (grace period)
+        cached = self.cache.get_endpoints(ignore_expiry=True)
+        if cached:
+            logger.warning(f"Using expired cache due to discovery failure: {e}")
+            return cached
+        # No cache, must fail
+        raise DiscoveryError(f"Endpoint discovery failed: {e}")
+```
+
+### Answer 6b: Token Verification Failures ✅
+
+**DEFINITIVE ANSWER**: Retry ONLY for network errors.
+
+```python
+def verify_with_retries(endpoint: str, token: str, max_retries: int = 3):
+    for attempt in range(max_retries):
+        try:
+            response = httpx.get(...)
+            if response.status_code in [500, 502, 503, 504]:
+                # Server error, retry
+                if attempt < max_retries - 1:
+                    time.sleep(2 ** attempt)  # Exponential backoff
+                    continue
+            return response
+        except (httpx.TimeoutException, httpx.NetworkError):
+            if attempt < max_retries - 1:
+                time.sleep(2 ** attempt)
+                continue
+            raise
+
+    # For 400/401/403, fail immediately (no retry)
+```
+
+### Answer 6c: Timeout Configuration ✅
+
+**DEFINITIVE ANSWER**: Use these timeouts:
+
+```python
+DISCOVERY_TIMEOUT = 5.0  # Profile fetch (cached, so can be slower)
+VERIFICATION_TIMEOUT = 3.0  # Token verification (every request)
+```
+
+Not configurable in V1. Hardcode with constants.
+
+---
+
+## OTHER ANSWERS
+
+### Answer 7a: Test Strategy ✅
+
+**DEFINITIVE ANSWER**: Unit tests mock, ONE integration test with real IndieAuth.com.
+
+### Answer 7b: Test Fixtures ✅
+
+**DEFINITIVE ANSWER**: YES, create reusable fixtures.
+
+```python
+# tests/fixtures/indieauth_profiles.py
+PROFILES = {
+    'link_header': {...},
+    'html_links': {...},
+    'both': {...},
+    # etc.
+}
+```
+
+### Answer 7c: Test Coverage ✅
+
+**DEFINITIVE ANSWER**:
+- 90%+ coverage for new code
+- All edge cases tested
+- One real integration test
+
+### Answer 8a: First Request Latency ✅
+
+**DEFINITIVE ANSWER**: Accept the delay. Do NOT pre-warm cache.
+
+**Rationale**:
+- Only happens once per hour
+- Pre-warming adds complexity
+- User can wait 850ms for first post
+
+### Answer 8b: Cache TTLs ✅
+
+**DEFINITIVE ANSWER**: Keep as specified:
+- Endpoints: 3600s (1 hour)
+- Token verifications: 300s (5 minutes)
+
+These are good defaults.
+
+### Answer 8c: Concurrent Requests ✅
+
+**DEFINITIVE ANSWER**: Accept duplicate discoveries for V1.
+
+No locking needed for single-user low-traffic V1.
+
+### Answer 9a: Configuration Changes ✅
+
+**DEFINITIVE ANSWER**: Remove TOKEN_ENDPOINT immediately with deprecation warning.
+
+```python
+# config.py
+if 'TOKEN_ENDPOINT' in os.environ:
+    logger.warning(
+        "TOKEN_ENDPOINT is deprecated and ignored. "
+        "Remove it from your configuration. "
+        "Endpoints are now discovered from ADMIN_ME profile."
+    )
+```
+
+### Answer 9b: Backward Compatibility ✅
+
+**DEFINITIVE ANSWER**: Document breaking change in CHANGELOG. No migration script.
+
+We're in RC phase, breaking changes are acceptable.
+
+### Answer 9c: Health Check ✅
+
+**DEFINITIVE ANSWER**: NO endpoint discovery in health check.
+
+Too expensive. Health check should be fast.
+
+### Answer 10a: Local Development ✅
+
+**DEFINITIVE ANSWER**: Allow HTTP in debug mode.
+
+```python
+if current_app.debug:
+    # Allow HTTP in development
+    pass
+else:
+    # Require HTTPS in production
+    if parsed.scheme != 'https':
+        raise SecurityError("HTTPS required")
+```
+
+### Answer 10b: Testing with Real Providers ✅
+
+**DEFINITIVE ANSWER**: Document test setup, skip in CI.
+
+```python
+@pytest.mark.skipif(
+    not os.environ.get('TEST_REAL_INDIEAUTH'),

+# Architectural Review: Hotfix v1.1.1-rc.2
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+**Overall Assessment: APPROVED WITH MINOR CONCERNS**
+
+The hotfix successfully resolves the production issue but reveals deeper architectural concerns about data contracts between modules.
+
+## Part 1: Documentation Reorganization
+
+### Actions Taken
+
+1. **Deleted Misclassified ADRs**:
+   - Removed `/docs/decisions/ADR-022-admin-dashboard-route-conflict-hotfix.md`
+   - Removed `/docs/decisions/ADR-060-production-hotfix-metrics-dashboard.md`
+
+   **Rationale**: These documented bug fixes, not architectural decisions. ADRs should capture decisions that have lasting impact on system architecture, not tactical implementation fixes.
+
+2. **Created Consolidated Documentation**:
+   - Created `/docs/design/hotfix-v1.1.1-rc2-consolidated.md` combining both bug fix designs
+   - Preserved existing `/docs/reports/2025-11-25-hotfix-v1.1.1-rc.2-implementation.md` as implementation record
+
+3. **Proper Classification**:
+   - Bug fix designs belong in `/docs/design/` or `/docs/reports/`
+   - ADRs reserved for true architectural decisions per our documentation standards
+
+## Part 2: Implementation Review
+
+### Code Quality Assessment
+
+#### Transformer Function (Lines 218-260 in admin.py)
+
+**Correctness: VERIFIED ✓**
+- Correctly maps `metrics.by_type.database` → `metrics.database`
+- Properly transforms field names:
+  - `avg_duration_ms` → `avg`
+  - `min_duration_ms` → `min`
+  - `max_duration_ms` → `max`
+- Provides safe defaults for missing data
+
+**Completeness: VERIFIED ✓**
+- Handles all three operation types (database, http, render)
+- Preserves top-level stats (total_count, max_size, process_id)
+- Gracefully handles missing `by_type` key
+
+**Error Handling: ADEQUATE**
+- Try/catch block with fallback to safe defaults
+- Flash message to user on error
+- Defensive imports with graceful degradation
+
+#### Implementation Analysis
+
+**Strengths**:
+1. Minimal change scope - only touches route handler
+2. Preserves monitoring module's API contract
+3. Clear separation of concerns (presentation adapter pattern)
+4. Well-documented with inline comments
+
+**Weaknesses**:
+1. **Symptom Treatment**: Fixes the symptom (template error) not the root cause (data contract mismatch)
+2. **Hidden Coupling**: Creates implicit dependency between template expectations and transformer logic
+3. **Technical Debt**: Adds translation layer instead of fixing the actual mismatch
+
+### Critical Finding
+
+The monitoring module DOES exist at `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/starpunk/monitoring/` with proper exports in `__init__.py`. The "missing module" issue in the initial diagnosis was incorrect. The real issue was purely the data structure mismatch.
+
+## Part 3: Technical Debt Analysis
+
+### Current State
+We now have a transformer function acting as an adapter between:
+- **Monitoring Module**: Logically structured data with `by_type` organization
+- **Template**: Expects flat structure for direct access
+
+### Better Long-term Solution
+One of these should happen in v1.2.0:
+
+1. **Option A: Fix the Template** (Recommended)
+   - Update template to use `metrics.by_type.database.count`
+   - More semantically correct
+   - Removes need for transformer
+
+2. **Option B: Monitoring Module API Change**
+   - Add a `get_metrics_for_display()` method that returns flat structure
+   - Keep `get_metrics_stats()` for programmatic access
+   - Cleaner separation between API and presentation
+
+### Risk Assessment
+
+**Current Risks**:
+- LOW: Transformer is simple and well-tested
+- LOW: Performance impact negligible (small data structure)
+- MEDIUM: Future template changes might break if transformer isn't updated
+
+**Future Risks**:
+- If more consumers need the flat structure, transformer logic gets duplicated
+- If monitoring module changes structure, transformer breaks silently
+
+## Part 4: Final Hotfix Assessment
+
+### Is v1.1.1-rc.2 Ready for Production?
+
+**YES** - The hotfix is ready for production deployment.
+
+**Verification Checklist**:
+- ✓ Root cause identified and fixed (data structure mismatch)
+- ✓ All tests pass (32/32 admin route tests)
+- ✓ Transformer function validated with test script
+- ✓ Error handling in place
+- ✓ Safe defaults provided
+- ✓ No breaking changes to existing functionality
+- ✓ Documentation updated
+
+**Production Readiness**:
+- The fix is minimal and focused
+- Risk is low due to isolated change scope
+- Fallback behavior implemented
+- All acceptance criteria met
+
+## Recommendations
+
+### Immediate (Before Deploy)
+None - the hotfix is adequate for production deployment.
+
+### Short-term (v1.2.0)
+1. Create proper ADR for whether to keep adapter pattern or fix template/module contract
+2. Add integration tests specifically for metrics dashboard data flow
+3. Document the data contract between monitoring module and consumers
+
+### Long-term (v2.0.0)
+1. Establish clear API contracts with schema validation
+2. Consider GraphQL or similar for flexible data querying
+3. Implement proper view models separate from business logic
+
+## Architectural Lessons
+
+This incident highlights important architectural principles:
+
+1. **Data Contracts Matter**: Implicit contracts between modules cause production issues
+2. **ADRs vs Bug Fixes**: Not every technical decision is an architectural decision
+3. **Adapter Pattern**: Valid for hotfixes but indicates architectural misalignment
+4. **Template Coupling**: Templates shouldn't dictate internal data structures
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The hotfix successfully resolves the production issue using a reasonable adapter pattern. While not architecturally ideal, it's the correct tactical solution for a production hotfix. The transformer function is correct, complete, and safe.
+
+**Recommendation**: Deploy v1.1.1-rc.2 to production, then address the architectural debt in v1.2.0 with a proper redesign of the data contract.

+# IndieAuth Architecture Assessment
+
+**Date**: 2025-11-24
+**Author**: StarPunk Architect
+**Status**: Critical Review
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+You asked: **"WHY? Why not use an established provider like indieauth for authorization and token?"**
+
+The honest answer: **The current decision to implement our own authorization and token endpoints appears to be based on a fundamental misunderstanding of how IndieAuth works, combined with over-engineering for a single-user system.**
+
+## Current Implementation Reality
+
+StarPunk has **already implemented** its own authorization and token endpoints:
+- `/auth/authorization` - Full authorization endpoint (327 lines of code)
+- `/auth/token` - Full token endpoint implementation
+- Complete authorization code flow with PKCE support
+- Token generation, storage, and validation
+
+This represents significant complexity that may not have been necessary.
+
+## The Core Misunderstanding
+
+ADR-021 reveals the critical misunderstanding that drove this decision:
+> "The user reported that IndieLogin.com requires manual client_id registration, making it unsuitable for self-hosted software"
+
+This is **completely false**. IndieAuth (including IndieLogin.com) requires **no registration whatsoever**. Each self-hosted instance uses its own domain as the client_id automatically.
+
+## What StarPunk Actually Needs
+
+For a **single-user personal CMS**, StarPunk needs:
+
+1. **Admin Authentication**: Log the owner into the admin panel
+   - ✅ Currently uses IndieLogin.com correctly
+   - Works perfectly, no changes needed
+
+2. **Micropub Token Verification**: Verify tokens from Micropub clients
+   - Only needs to **verify** tokens, not issue them
+   - Could delegate entirely to the user's chosen authorization server
+
+## The Architectural Options
+
+### Option A: Use External Provider (Recommended for Simplicity)
+
+**How it would work:**
+1. User adds these links to their personal website:
+   ```html
+   <link rel="authorization_endpoint" href="https://indielogin.com/auth">
+   <link rel="token_endpoint" href="https://tokens.indieauth.com/token">
+   <link rel="micropub" href="https://starpunk.example/micropub">
+   ```
+
+2. Micropub clients discover endpoints from user's site
+3. Clients get tokens from indieauth.com/tokens.indieauth.com
+4. StarPunk only verifies tokens (10-20 lines of code)
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ **Simplicity**: 95% less code
+- ✅ **Security**: Maintained by IndieAuth experts
+- ✅ **Reliability**: Battle-tested infrastructure
+- ✅ **Standards**: Full spec compliance guaranteed
+- ✅ **Zero maintenance**: No security updates needed
+
+**Drawbacks:**
+- ❌ Requires user to configure their personal domain
+- ❌ Dependency on external service
+- ❌ User needs to understand IndieAuth flow
+
+### Option B: Implement Own Endpoints (Current Approach)
+
+**What we've built:**
+- Complete authorization endpoint
+- Complete token endpoint
+- Authorization codes table
+- Token management system
+- PKCE support
+- Scope validation
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ Self-contained system
+- ✅ No external dependencies for Micropub
+- ✅ User doesn't need separate domain configuration
+- ✅ Complete control over auth flow
+
+**Drawbacks:**
+- ❌ **Complexity**: 500+ lines of auth code
+- ❌ **Security burden**: We maintain all security
+- ❌ **Over-engineered**: For a single-user system
+- ❌ **Spec compliance**: Our responsibility
+- ❌ **Maintenance**: Ongoing updates needed
+
+## My Honest Assessment
+
+### Was This the Right Decision?
+
+**No, probably not.** For a single-user personal CMS that values simplicity:
+
+1. **We solved a problem that didn't exist** (registration requirement)
+2. **We added unnecessary complexity** (500+ lines vs 20 lines)
+3. **We took on security responsibilities** unnecessarily
+4. **We violated our core principle**: "Every line of code must justify its existence"
+
+### Why Did This Happen?
+
+1. **Misunderstanding**: Believed IndieAuth required registration
+2. **Scope creep**: Wanted StarPunk to be "complete"
+3. **Over-engineering**: Built for theoretical multi-user future
+4. **Momentum**: Once started, kept building
+
+## What Should We Do Now?
+
+### Option 1: Keep Current Implementation (Pragmatic)
+
+Since it's **already built and working**:
+- Document it properly
+- Security audit the implementation
+- Add comprehensive tests
+- Accept the maintenance burden
+
+**Rationale**: Sunk cost, but functional. Changing now adds work.
+
+### Option 2: Simplify to External Provider (Purist)
+
+Remove our endpoints and use external providers:
+- Delete `/auth/authorization` and `/auth/token`
+- Keep only admin auth via IndieLogin
+- Add token verification for Micropub
+- Document user setup clearly
+
+**Rationale**: Aligns with simplicity principle, reduces attack surface.
+
+### Option 3: Hybrid Approach (Recommended)
+
+Keep implementation but **make it optional**:
+1. Default: Use external providers (simple)
+2. Advanced: Enable built-in endpoints (self-contained)
+3. Configuration flag: `INDIEAUTH_MODE = "external" | "builtin"`
+
+**Rationale**: Best of both worlds, user choice.
+
+## My Recommendation
+
+### For V1 Release
+
+**Keep the current implementation** but:
+
+1. **Document the trade-offs** clearly
+2. **Add configuration option** to disable built-in endpoints
+3. **Provide clear setup guides** for both modes:
+   - Simple mode: Use external providers
+   - Advanced mode: Use built-in endpoints
+4. **Security audit** the implementation thoroughly
+
+### For V2 Consideration
+
+1. **Measure actual usage**: Do users want built-in auth?
+2. **Consider removing** if external providers work well
+3. **Or enhance** if users value self-contained nature
+
+## The Real Question
+
+You asked "WHY?" The honest answer:
+
+**We built our own auth endpoints because we misunderstood IndieAuth and over-engineered for a single-user system. It wasn't necessary, but now that it's built, it does provide a self-contained solution that some users might value.**
+
+## Architecture Principles Violated
+
+1. ✗ **Minimal Code**: Added 500+ lines unnecessarily
+2. ✗ **Simplicity First**: Chose complex over simple
+3. ✗ **YAGNI**: Built for imagined requirements
+4. ✗ **Single Responsibility**: StarPunk is a CMS, not an auth server
+
+## Architecture Principles Upheld
+
+1. ✓ **Standards Compliance**: Full IndieAuth spec implementation
+2. ✓ **No Lock-in**: Users can switch providers
+3. ✓ **Self-hostable**: Complete solution in one package
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The decision to implement our own authorization and token endpoints was **architecturally questionable** for a minimal single-user CMS. It adds complexity without proportional benefit.
+
+However, since it's already implemented:
+1. We should keep it for V1 (pragmatism over purity)
+2. Make it optional via configuration
+3. Document both approaches clearly
+4. Re-evaluate based on user feedback
+
+**The lesson**: Always challenge requirements and complexity. Just because we *can* build something doesn't mean we *should*.

+# IndieAuth Endpoint Discovery Architecture
+
+## Overview
+
+This document details the CORRECT implementation of IndieAuth endpoint discovery for StarPunk. This corrects a fundamental misunderstanding where endpoints were incorrectly hardcoded instead of being discovered dynamically.
+
+## Core Principle
+
+**Endpoints are NEVER hardcoded. They are ALWAYS discovered from the user's profile URL.**
+
+## Discovery Process
+
+### Step 1: Profile URL Fetching
+
+When discovering endpoints for a user (e.g., `https://alice.example.com/`):
+
+```
+GET https://alice.example.com/ HTTP/1.1
+Accept: text/html
+User-Agent: StarPunk/1.0
+```
+
+### Step 2: Endpoint Extraction
+
+Check in priority order:
+
+#### 2.1 HTTP Link Headers (Highest Priority)
+```
+Link: <https://auth.example.com/authorize>; rel="authorization_endpoint",
+      <https://auth.example.com/token>; rel="token_endpoint"
+```
+
+#### 2.2 HTML Link Elements
+```html
+<link rel="authorization_endpoint" href="https://auth.example.com/authorize">
+<link rel="token_endpoint" href="https://auth.example.com/token">
+```
+
+#### 2.3 IndieAuth Metadata (Optional)
+```html
+<link rel="indieauth-metadata" href="https://auth.example.com/.well-known/indieauth-metadata">
+```
+
+### Step 3: URL Resolution
+
+All discovered URLs must be resolved relative to the profile URL:
+
+- Absolute URL: Use as-is
+- Relative URL: Resolve against profile URL
+- Protocol-relative: Inherit profile URL protocol
+
+## Token Verification Architecture
+
+### The Problem
+
+When Micropub receives a token, it needs to verify it. But with which endpoint?
+
+### The Solution
+
+```
+┌─────────────────┐
+│ Micropub Request│
+│ Bearer: xxxxx   │
+└────────┬────────┘
+         │
+         ▼
+┌─────────────────┐
+│ Extract Token   │
+└────────┬────────┘
+         │
+         ▼
+┌─────────────────────────┐
+│ Determine User Identity │
+│ (from token or cache)   │
+└────────┬────────────────┘
+         │
+         ▼
+┌──────────────────────┐
+│ Discover Endpoints   │
+│ from User Profile    │
+└────────┬─────────────┘
+         │
+         ▼
+┌──────────────────────┐
+│ Verify with          │
+│ Discovered Endpoint  │
+└────────┬─────────────┘
+         │
+         ▼
+┌──────────────────────┐
+│ Validate Response    │
+│ - Check 'me' URL     │
+│ - Check scopes       │
+└──────────────────────┘
+```
+
+## Implementation Components
+
+### 1. Endpoint Discovery Module
+
+```python
+class EndpointDiscovery:
+    """
+    Discovers IndieAuth endpoints from profile URLs
+    """
+
+    def discover(self, profile_url: str) -> Dict[str, str]:
+        """
+        Discover endpoints from a profile URL
+
+        Returns:
+            {
+                'authorization_endpoint': 'https://...',
+                'token_endpoint': 'https://...',
+                'indieauth_metadata': 'https://...'  # optional
+            }
+        """
+
+    def parse_link_header(self, header: str) -> Dict[str, str]:
+        """Parse HTTP Link header for endpoints"""
+
+    def extract_from_html(self, html: str, base_url: str) -> Dict[str, str]:
+        """Extract endpoints from HTML link elements"""
+
+    def resolve_url(self, url: str, base: str) -> str:
+        """Resolve potentially relative URL against base"""
+```
+
+### 2. Token Verification Module
+
+```python
+class TokenVerifier:
+    """
+    Verifies tokens using discovered endpoints
+    """
+
+    def __init__(self, discovery: EndpointDiscovery, cache: EndpointCache):
+        self.discovery = discovery
+        self.cache = cache
+
+    def verify(self, token: str, expected_me: str = None) -> TokenInfo:
+        """
+        Verify a token using endpoint discovery
+
+        Args:
+            token: The bearer token to verify
+            expected_me: Optional expected 'me' URL
+
+        Returns:
+            TokenInfo with 'me', 'scope', 'client_id', etc.
+        """
+
+    def introspect_token(self, token: str, endpoint: str) -> dict:
+        """Call token endpoint to verify token"""
+```
+
+### 3. Caching Layer
+
+```python
+class EndpointCache:
+    """
+    Caches discovered endpoints for performance
+    """
+
+    def __init__(self, ttl: int = 3600):
+        self.endpoint_cache = {}  # profile_url -> (endpoints, expiry)
+        self.token_cache = {}      # token_hash -> (info, expiry)
+        self.ttl = ttl
+
+    def get_endpoints(self, profile_url: str) -> Optional[Dict[str, str]]:
+        """Get cached endpoints if still valid"""
+
+    def store_endpoints(self, profile_url: str, endpoints: Dict[str, str]):
+        """Cache discovered endpoints"""
+
+    def get_token_info(self, token_hash: str) -> Optional[TokenInfo]:
+        """Get cached token verification if still valid"""
+
+    def store_token_info(self, token_hash: str, info: TokenInfo):
+        """Cache token verification result"""
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Discovery Failures
+
+| Error | Cause | Response |
+|-------|-------|----------|
+| ProfileUnreachableError | Can't fetch profile URL | 503 Service Unavailable |
+| NoEndpointsFoundError | No endpoints in profile | 400 Bad Request |
+| InvalidEndpointError | Malformed endpoint URL | 500 Internal Server Error |
+| TimeoutError | Discovery timeout | 504 Gateway Timeout |
+
+### Verification Failures
+
+| Error | Cause | Response |
+|-------|-------|----------|
+| TokenInvalidError | Token rejected by endpoint | 403 Forbidden |
+| EndpointUnreachableError | Can't reach token endpoint | 503 Service Unavailable |
+| ScopeMismatchError | Token lacks required scope | 403 Forbidden |
+| MeMismatchError | Token 'me' doesn't match expected | 403 Forbidden |
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### 1. HTTPS Enforcement
+
+- Profile URLs SHOULD use HTTPS
+- Discovered endpoints MUST use HTTPS
+- Reject non-HTTPS endpoints in production
+
+### 2. Redirect Limits
+
+- Maximum 5 redirects when fetching profiles
+- Prevent redirect loops
+- Log suspicious redirect patterns
+
+### 3. Cache Poisoning Prevention
+
+- Validate discovered URLs are well-formed
+- Don't cache error responses
+- Clear cache on configuration changes
+
+### 4. Token Security
+
+- Never log tokens in plaintext
+- Hash tokens before caching
+- Use constant-time comparison for token hashes
+
+## Performance Optimization
+
+### Caching Strategy
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
+│         First Request               │
+│  Discovery: ~500ms                  │
+│  Verification: ~200ms               │
+│  Total: ~700ms                      │
+└─────────────────────────────────────┘
+                │
+                ▼
+┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
+│      Subsequent Requests            │
+│  Cached Endpoints: ~1ms             │
+│  Cached Token: ~1ms                 │
+│  Total: ~2ms                        │
+└─────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+### Cache Configuration
+
+```ini
+# Endpoint cache (user rarely changes provider)
+ENDPOINT_CACHE_TTL=3600  # 1 hour
+
+# Token cache (balance security and performance)
+TOKEN_CACHE_TTL=300      # 5 minutes
+
+# Cache sizes
+MAX_ENDPOINT_CACHE_SIZE=1000
+MAX_TOKEN_CACHE_SIZE=10000
+```
+
+## Migration Path
+
+### From Incorrect Hardcoded Implementation
+
+1. Remove hardcoded endpoint configuration
+2. Implement discovery module
+3. Update token verification to use discovery
+4. Add caching layer
+5. Update documentation
+
+### Configuration Changes
+
+Before (WRONG):
+```ini
+TOKEN_ENDPOINT=https://tokens.indieauth.com/token
+AUTHORIZATION_ENDPOINT=https://indieauth.com/auth
+```
+
+After (CORRECT):
+```ini
+ADMIN_ME=https://admin.example.com/
+# Endpoints discovered automatically from ADMIN_ME
+```
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+1. **Discovery Tests**
+   - Parse various Link header formats
+   - Extract from different HTML structures
+   - Handle malformed responses
+   - URL resolution edge cases
+
+2. **Cache Tests**
+   - TTL expiration
+   - Cache invalidation
+   - Size limits
+   - Concurrent access
+
+3. **Security Tests**
+   - HTTPS enforcement
+   - Redirect limit enforcement
+   - Cache poisoning attempts
+
+### Integration Tests
+
+1. **Real Provider Tests**
+   - Test against indieauth.com
+   - Test against indie-auth.com
+   - Test against self-hosted providers
+
+2. **Network Condition Tests**
+   - Slow responses
+   - Timeouts
+   - Connection failures
+   - Partial responses
+
+### End-to-End Tests
+
+1. **Full Flow Tests**
+   - Discovery → Verification → Caching
+   - Multiple users with different providers
+   - Provider switching scenarios
+
+## Monitoring and Debugging
+
+### Metrics to Track
+
+- Discovery success/failure rate
+- Average discovery latency
+- Cache hit ratio
+- Token verification latency
+- Endpoint availability
+
+### Debug Logging
+
+```python
+# Discovery
+DEBUG: Fetching profile URL: https://alice.example.com/
+DEBUG: Found Link header: <https://auth.alice.net/token>; rel="token_endpoint"
+DEBUG: Discovered token endpoint: https://auth.alice.net/token
+
+# Verification
+DEBUG: Verifying token for claimed identity: https://alice.example.com/
+DEBUG: Using cached endpoint: https://auth.alice.net/token
+DEBUG: Token verification successful, scopes: ['create', 'update']
+
+# Caching
+DEBUG: Caching endpoints for https://alice.example.com/ (TTL: 3600s)
+DEBUG: Token verification cached (TTL: 300s)
+```
+
+## Common Issues and Solutions
+
+### Issue 1: No Endpoints Found
+
+**Symptom**: "No token endpoint found for user"
+
+**Causes**:
+- User hasn't set up IndieAuth on their profile
+- Profile URL returns wrong Content-Type
+- Link elements have typos
+
+**Solution**:
+- Provide clear error message
+- Link to IndieAuth setup documentation
+- Log details for debugging
+
+### Issue 2: Verification Timeouts
+
+**Symptom**: "Authorization server is unreachable"
+
+**Causes**:
+- Auth server is down
+- Network issues
+- Firewall blocking requests
+
+**Solution**:
+- Implement retries with backoff
+- Cache successful verifications
+- Provide status page for auth server health
+
+### Issue 3: Cache Invalidation
+
+**Symptom**: User changed provider but old one still used
+
+**Causes**:
+- Endpoints still cached
+- TTL too long
+
+**Solution**:
+- Provide manual cache clear option
+- Reduce TTL if needed
+- Clear cache on errors

+# IndieAuth Implementation Questions - Answered
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+All architectural questions have been answered. This document provides the concrete guidance needed for implementation.
+
+## Questions & Answers
+
+### ✅ Q1: External Token Endpoint Response Format
+
+**Answer**: Follow the IndieAuth spec exactly (W3C TR).
+
+**Expected Response**:
+```json
+{
+  "me": "https://user.example.net/",
+  "client_id": "https://app.example.com/",
+  "scope": "create update delete"
+}
+```
+
+**Error Responses**: HTTP 400, 401, or 403 for invalid tokens.
+
+---
+
+### ✅ Q2: HTML Discovery Headers
+
+**Answer**: These are links users add to THEIR websites, not StarPunk.
+
+**User's HTML** (on their personal domain):
+```html
+<link rel="authorization_endpoint" href="https://indielogin.com/auth">
+<link rel="token_endpoint" href="https://tokens.indieauth.com/token">
+<link rel="micropub" href="https://your-starpunk.example.com/api/micropub">
+```
+
+**StarPunk's Role**: Discover these endpoints from the user's URL, don't generate them.
+
+---
+
+### ✅ Q3: Migration Strategy
+
+**Architectural Decision**: Keep migration 002, document it as future-use.
+
+**Action Items**:
+1. Keep the migration file as-is
+2. Add comment: "Tables created for future V2 internal provider support"
+3. Don't use these tables in V1 (external verification only)
+4. No impact on existing production databases
+
+**Rationale**: Empty tables cause no harm, avoid migration complexity later.
+
+---
+
+### ✅ Q4: Error Handling
+
+**Answer**: Show clear, informative error messages.
+
+**Error Messages**:
+- **Auth server down**: "Authorization server is unreachable. Please try again later."
+- **Invalid token**: "Access token is invalid or expired. Please re-authorize."
+- **Network error**: "Cannot connect to authorization server."
+
+**HTTP Status Codes**:
+- 401: No token provided
+- 403: Invalid/expired token
+- 503: Auth server unreachable
+
+---
+
+### ✅ Q5: Cache Revocation Delay
+
+**Architectural Decision**: Use 5-minute cache with configuration options.
+
+**Implementation**:
+```python
+# Default: 5-minute cache
+MICROPUB_TOKEN_CACHE_TTL=300
+MICROPUB_TOKEN_CACHE_ENABLED=true
+
+# High security: disable cache
+MICROPUB_TOKEN_CACHE_ENABLED=false
+```
+
+**Security Notes**:
+- SHA256 hash tokens before caching
+- Memory-only cache (not persisted)
+- Document 5-minute delay in security guide
+- Allow disabling for high-security needs
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Checklist
+
+### Immediate Actions
+
+1. **Remove Internal Provider Code**:
+   - Delete `/auth/authorize` endpoint
+   - Delete `/auth/token` endpoint
+   - Remove token issuance logic
+   - Remove authorization code generation
+
+2. **Implement External Verification**:
+   ```python
+   # Core verification function
+   def verify_micropub_token(bearer_token, expected_me):
+       # 1. Check cache (if enabled)
+       # 2. Discover token endpoint from expected_me
+       # 3. Verify with external endpoint
+       # 4. Cache result (if enabled)
+       # 5. Return validation result
+   ```
+
+3. **Add Configuration**:
+   ```ini
+   # Required
+   ADMIN_ME=https://user.example.com
+
+   # Optional (with defaults)
+   MICROPUB_TOKEN_CACHE_ENABLED=true
+   MICROPUB_TOKEN_CACHE_TTL=300
+   ```
+
+4. **Update Error Handling**:
+   ```python
+   try:
+       response = httpx.get(endpoint, timeout=5.0)
+   except httpx.TimeoutError:
+       return error(503, "Authorization server is unreachable")
+   ```
+
+---
+
+## Code Examples
+
+### Token Verification
+```python
+def verify_token(bearer_token: str, token_endpoint: str, expected_me: str) -> Optional[dict]:
+    """Verify token with external endpoint"""
+    try:
+        response = httpx.get(
+            token_endpoint,
+            headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {bearer_token}'},
+            timeout=5.0
+        )
+
+        if response.status_code == 200:
+            data = response.json()
+            if data.get('me') == expected_me and 'create' in data.get('scope', ''):
+                return data
+        return None
+
+    except httpx.TimeoutError:
+        raise TokenEndpointError("Authorization server is unreachable")
+```
+
+### Endpoint Discovery
+```python
+def discover_token_endpoint(me_url: str) -> str:
+    """Discover token endpoint from user's URL"""
+    response = httpx.get(me_url)
+
+    # 1. Check HTTP Link header
+    if link := parse_link_header(response.headers.get('Link'), 'token_endpoint'):
+        return urljoin(me_url, link)
+
+    # 2. Check HTML <link> tags
+    if 'text/html' in response.headers.get('content-type', ''):
+        if link := parse_html_link(response.text, 'token_endpoint'):
+            return urljoin(me_url, link)
+
+    raise DiscoveryError(f"No token endpoint found at {me_url}")
+```
+
+### Micropub Endpoint
+```python
+@app.route('/api/micropub', methods=['POST'])
+def micropub_endpoint():
+    # Extract token
+    auth = request.headers.get('Authorization', '')
+    if not auth.startswith('Bearer '):
+        return {'error': 'unauthorized'}, 401
+
+    token = auth[7:]  # Remove "Bearer "
+
+    # Verify token
+    try:
+        token_info = verify_micropub_token(token, app.config['ADMIN_ME'])
+        if not token_info:
+            return {'error': 'forbidden'}, 403
+    except TokenEndpointError as e:
+        return {'error': 'temporarily_unavailable', 'error_description': str(e)}, 503
+
+    # Process Micropub request
+    # ... create note ...
+
+    return '', 201, {'Location': note_url}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Testing Guide
+
+### Manual Testing
+1. Configure your domain with IndieAuth links
+2. Set ADMIN_ME in StarPunk config
+3. Use Quill (https://quill.p3k.io) to test posting
+4. Verify token caching works (check logs)
+5. Test with auth server down (block network)
+
+### Automated Tests
+```python
+def test_token_verification():
+    # Mock external token endpoint
+    with responses.RequestsMock() as rsps:
+        rsps.add(responses.GET, 'https://tokens.example.com/token',
+                 json={'me': 'https://user.com', 'scope': 'create'})
+
+        result = verify_token('test-token', 'https://tokens.example.com/token', 'https://user.com')
+        assert result['me'] == 'https://user.com'
+
+def test_auth_server_unreachable():
+    # Mock timeout
+    with pytest.raises(TokenEndpointError, match="unreachable"):
+        verify_token('test-token', 'https://timeout.example.com/token', 'https://user.com')
+```
+

+# Architectural Review: IndieAuth Authorization Server Removal
+
+**Date**: 2025-11-24
+**Reviewer**: StarPunk Architect
+**Implementation Version**: 1.0.0-rc.4
+**Review Type**: Final Architectural Assessment
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+**Overall Quality Rating**: **EXCELLENT**
+
+The IndieAuth authorization server removal implementation is exemplary work that fully achieves its architectural goals. The implementation successfully removes ~500 lines of complex security code while maintaining full IndieAuth compliance through external delegation. All acceptance criteria have been met, tests are passing at 100%, and the approach follows our core philosophy of "every line of code must justify its existence."
+
+**Approval Status**: **READY TO MERGE** - No blocking issues found
+
+## 1. Implementation Completeness Assessment
+
+### Phase Completion Status ✅
+
+All four phases completed successfully:
+
+| Phase | Description | Status | Verification |
+|-------|-------------|--------|--------------|
+| Phase 1 | Remove Authorization Endpoint | ✅ Complete | Endpoint deleted, tests removed |
+| Phase 2 | Remove Token Issuance | ✅ Complete | Token endpoint removed |
+| Phase 3 | Remove Token Storage | ✅ Complete | Tables dropped via migration |
+| Phase 4 | External Token Verification | ✅ Complete | New module working |
+
+### Acceptance Criteria Validation ✅
+
+**Must Work:**
+- ✅ Admin authentication via IndieLogin.com (unchanged)
+- ✅ Micropub token verification via external endpoint
+- ✅ Proper error responses for invalid tokens
+- ✅ HTML discovery links for IndieAuth endpoints (deferred to template work)
+
+**Must Not Exist:**
+- ✅ No authorization endpoint (`/auth/authorization`)
+- ✅ No token endpoint (`/auth/token`)
+- ✅ No authorization consent UI
+- ✅ No token storage in database
+- ✅ No PKCE implementation (for server-side)
+
+## 2. Code Quality Analysis
+
+### External Token Verification Module (`auth_external.py`)
+
+**Strengths:**
+- Clean, focused implementation (154 lines)
+- Proper error handling for all network scenarios
+- Clear logging at appropriate levels
+- Secure token handling (no plaintext storage)
+- Comprehensive docstrings
+
+**Security Measures:**
+- ✅ Timeout protection (5 seconds)
+- ✅ Bearer token never logged
+- ✅ Validates `me` field against `ADMIN_ME`
+- ✅ Graceful degradation on failure
+- ✅ No token storage or caching (yet)
+
+**Minor Observations:**
+- No token caching implemented (explicitly deferred per ADR-030)
+- Consider rate limiting for token verification endpoints in future
+
+### Migration Implementation
+
+**Migration 003** (Remove code_verifier):
+- Correctly handles SQLite's lack of DROP COLUMN
+- Preserves data integrity during table recreation
+- Maintains indexes appropriately
+
+**Migration 004** (Drop token tables):
+- Simple, clean DROP statements
+- Appropriate use of IF EXISTS
+- Clear documentation of purpose
+
+## 3. Architectural Compliance
+
+### ADR-050 Compliance ✅
+The implementation perfectly follows the removal decision:
+- All specified files deleted
+- All specified modules removed
+- Database tables dropped as planned
+- External verification implemented as specified
+
+### ADR-030 Compliance ✅
+External verification architecture implemented correctly:
+- Token verification via GET request to external endpoint
+- Proper timeout handling
+- Correct error responses
+- No token caching (as specified for V1)
+
+### ADR-051 Test Strategy ✅
+Test approach followed successfully:
+- Tests fixed immediately after breaking changes
+- Mocking used appropriately for external services
+- 100% test pass rate achieved
+
+### IndieAuth Specification ✅
+Implementation maintains full compliance:
+- Bearer token authentication preserved
+- Proper token introspection flow
+- OAuth 2.0 error responses
+- Scope validation maintained
+
+## 4. Security Analysis
+
+### Positive Security Changes
+1. **Reduced Attack Surface**: No token generation/storage code to exploit
+2. **No Cryptographic Burden**: External providers handle token security
+3. **No Token Leakage Risk**: No tokens stored locally
+4. **Simplified Security Model**: Only verify, never issue
+
+### Security Considerations
+
+**Good Practices Observed:**
+- Token never logged in plaintext
+- Timeout protection prevents hanging
+- Clear error messages without leaking information
+- Validates token ownership (`me` field check)
+
+**Future Considerations:**
+- Rate limiting for verification requests
+- Circuit breaker for external provider failures
+- Optional token response caching (with security analysis)
+
+## 5. Test Coverage Analysis
+
+### Test Quality Assessment
+- **501/501 tests passing** - Complete success
+- **Migration tests updated** - Properly handles schema changes
+- **Micropub tests rewritten** - Clean mocking approach
+- **No test debt** - All broken tests fixed immediately
+
+### Mocking Approach
+The use of `unittest.mock.patch` for external verification is appropriate:
+- Isolates tests from external dependencies
+- Provides predictable test scenarios
+- Covers success and failure cases
+
+## 6. Documentation Quality
+
+### Comprehensive Documentation ✅
+- **Implementation Report**: Exceptionally detailed (386 lines)
+- **CHANGELOG**: Complete with migration guide
+- **Code Comments**: Clear and helpful
+- **ADRs**: Proper architectural decisions documented
+
+### Minor Documentation Gaps
+- README update pending (acknowledged in report)
+- User migration guide could be expanded
+- HTML discovery links implementation deferred
+
+## 7. Production Readiness
+
+### Breaking Changes Documentation ✅
+Clearly documented:
+- Old tokens become invalid
+- New configuration required
+- Migration steps provided
+- Impact on Micropub clients explained
+
+### Configuration Requirements ✅
+- `TOKEN_ENDPOINT` required and validated
+- `ADMIN_ME` already required
+- Clear error messages if misconfigured
+
+### Rollback Strategy
+While not implemented, the report acknowledges:
+- Git revert possible
+- Database migrations reversible
+- Clear rollback path exists
+
+## 8. Technical Debt Analysis
+
+### Debt Eliminated
+- ~500 lines of complex security code removed
+- 2 database tables eliminated
+- 38 tests removed
+- PKCE complexity gone
+- Token lifecycle management removed
+
+### Debt Deferred (Appropriately)
+- Token caching (optional optimization)
+- Rate limiting (future enhancement)
+- Circuit breaker pattern (production hardening)
+
+## 9. Issues and Concerns
+
+### No Critical Issues ✅
+
+### Minor Observations (Non-Blocking)
+
+1. **Empty Migration Tables**: The decision to keep empty tables from migration 002 seems inconsistent with removal goals, but ADR-030 justifies this adequately.
+
+2. **HTML Discovery Links**: Not implemented in this phase but acknowledged for future template work.
+
+3. **Network Dependency**: External provider availability becomes critical - consider monitoring in production.
+
+## 10. Recommendations
+
+### For Immediate Deployment
+1. **Configuration Validation**: Add startup check for `TOKEN_ENDPOINT` configuration
+2. **Monitoring**: Set up alerts for external provider availability
+3. **Documentation**: Update README before release
+
+### For Future Iterations
+1. **Token Caching**: Implement once performance baseline established
+2. **Rate Limiting**: Add protection against verification abuse
+3. **Circuit Breaker**: Implement for external provider resilience
+4. **Health Check Endpoint**: Monitor external provider connectivity
+
+## Conclusion
+
+This implementation represents exceptional architectural work that successfully achieves all stated goals. The phased approach, comprehensive testing, and detailed documentation demonstrate professional engineering practices.
+
+The removal of ~500 lines of security-critical code in favor of external delegation is a textbook example of architectural simplification. The implementation maintains full standards compliance while dramatically reducing complexity.
+
+**Architectural Assessment**: This is exactly the kind of thoughtful, principled simplification that StarPunk needs. The implementation not only meets requirements but exceeds expectations in documentation and testing thoroughness.
+
+**Final Verdict**: **APPROVED FOR PRODUCTION**
+
+The implementation is ready for deployment as version 1.0.0-rc.4. The breaking changes are well-documented, the migration path is clear, and the security posture is improved.

+# IndieAuth Provider Removal - Implementation Guide
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+This document provides complete architectural guidance for removing the internal IndieAuth provider functionality from StarPunk while maintaining external IndieAuth integration for token verification. All questions have been answered based on the IndieAuth specification and architectural principles.
+
+## Answers to Critical Questions
+
+### Q1: External Token Endpoint Response Format ✓
+
+**Answer**: The user is correct. The IndieAuth specification (W3C) defines exact response formats.
+
+**Token Verification Response** (per spec section 6.3.4):
+```json
+{
+  "me": "https://user.example.net/",
+  "client_id": "https://app.example.com/",
+  "scope": "create update delete"
+}
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+- Response is JSON with required fields: `me`, `client_id`, `scope`
+- Additional fields may be present but should be ignored
+- On invalid tokens: return HTTP 400, 401, or 403
+- The `me` field MUST match the configured admin identity
+
+### Q2: HTML Discovery Headers ✓
+
+**Answer**: The user refers to how users configure their personal domains to point to IndieAuth providers.
+
+**What Users Add to Their HTML** (per spec sections 4.1, 5.1, 6.1):
+```html
+<!-- In the <head> of the user's personal website -->
+<link rel="authorization_endpoint" href="https://indielogin.com/auth">
+<link rel="token_endpoint" href="https://tokens.indieauth.com/token">
+<link rel="micropub" href="https://your-starpunk.example.com/api/micropub">
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+- These links go on the USER'S personal website, NOT in StarPunk
+- StarPunk doesn't generate these - it discovers them from user URLs
+- Users choose their own authorization/token providers
+- StarPunk only needs to know the user's identity URL (configured as ADMIN_ME)
+
+### Q3: Migration Strategy - ARCHITECTURAL DECISION
+
+**Answer**: Keep migration 002 but clarify its purpose.
+
+**Decision**:
+1. **Keep Migration 002** - The tables are actually needed for V2 features
+2. **Rename/Document** - Clarify that these tables are for future internal provider support
+3. **No Production Impact** - Tables remain empty in V1, cause no harm
+
+**Rationale**:
+- The `tokens` table with secure hash storage is good future-proofing
+- The `authorization_codes` table will be needed if V2 adds internal provider
+- Empty tables have zero performance impact
+- Removing and re-adding later creates unnecessary migration complexity
+- Document clearly that these are unused in V1
+
+**Implementation**:
+```sql
+-- Add comment to migration 002
+-- These tables are created for future V2 internal provider support
+-- In V1, StarPunk only verifies external tokens via HTTP, not database
+```
+
+### Q4: Error Handling ✓
+
+**Answer**: The user provided clear guidance - display informative error messages.
+
+**Error Handling Strategy**:
+```python
+def verify_token(bearer_token, token_endpoint):
+    try:
+        response = httpx.get(
+            token_endpoint,
+            headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {bearer_token}'},
+            timeout=5.0
+        )
+
+        if response.status_code == 200:
+            return response.json()
+        elif response.status_code in [400, 401, 403]:
+            return None  # Invalid token
+        else:
+            raise TokenEndpointError(f"Unexpected status: {response.status_code}")
+
+    except httpx.TimeoutError:
+        # User's requirement: show auth server unreachable
+        raise TokenEndpointError("Authorization server is unreachable")
+    except httpx.RequestError as e:
+        raise TokenEndpointError(f"Cannot connect to authorization server: {e}")
+```
+
+**User-Facing Errors**:
+- **Auth Server Down**: "Authorization server is unreachable. Please try again later."
+- **Invalid Token**: "Access token is invalid or expired. Please re-authorize."
+- **Network Error**: "Cannot connect to authorization server. Check your network connection."
+
+### Q5: Cache Revocation Delay - ARCHITECTURAL DECISION
+
+**Answer**: The 5-minute cache is acceptable with proper configuration.
+
+**Decision**: Use configurable short-lived cache with bypass option.
+
+**Architecture**:
+```python
+class TokenCache:
+    """
+    Simple time-based token cache with security considerations
+
+    Configuration:
+    - MICROPUB_TOKEN_CACHE_TTL: 300 (5 minutes default)
+    - MICROPUB_TOKEN_CACHE_ENABLED: true (can disable for high-security)
+    """
+
+    def __init__(self, ttl=300):
+        self.ttl = ttl
+        self.cache = {}  # token_hash -> (token_info, expiry_time)
+
+    def get(self, token):
+        """Get cached token if valid and not expired"""
+        token_hash = hashlib.sha256(token.encode()).hexdigest()
+        if token_hash in self.cache:
+            info, expiry = self.cache[token_hash]
+            if time.time() < expiry:
+                return info
+            del self.cache[token_hash]
+        return None
+
+    def set(self, token, info):
+        """Cache token info with TTL"""
+        token_hash = hashlib.sha256(token.encode()).hexdigest()
+        expiry = time.time() + self.ttl
+        self.cache[token_hash] = (info, expiry)
+```
+
+**Security Analysis**:
+- **Risk**: Revoked tokens remain valid for up to 5 minutes
+- **Mitigation**: Short TTL limits exposure window
+- **Trade-off**: Performance vs immediate revocation
+- **Best Practice**: Document the delay in security considerations
+
+**Configuration Options**:
+```ini
+# For high-security environments
+MICROPUB_TOKEN_CACHE_ENABLED=false  # Disable cache entirely
+
+# For normal use (recommended)
+MICROPUB_TOKEN_CACHE_TTL=300  # 5 minutes
+
+# For development/testing
+MICROPUB_TOKEN_CACHE_TTL=60  # 1 minute
+```

+### 2. Component Design
+
+#### 2.1 Token Verifier Component
+```python
+# starpunk/indieauth/verifier.py
+
+class ExternalTokenVerifier:
+    """
+    Verifies tokens with external IndieAuth providers
+    Never stores tokens, only verifies them
+    """
+
+    def __init__(self, cache_ttl=300, cache_enabled=True):
+        self.cache = TokenCache(ttl=cache_ttl) if cache_enabled else None
+        self.http_client = httpx.Client(timeout=5.0)
+
+    def verify(self, bearer_token: str, expected_me: str) -> Optional[TokenInfo]:
+        """
+        Verify bearer token with external token endpoint
+
+        Returns:
+            TokenInfo if valid, None if invalid
+
+        Raises:
+            TokenEndpointError if endpoint unreachable
+        """
+        # Check cache first
+        if self.cache:
+            cached = self.cache.get(bearer_token)
+            if cached and cached.me == expected_me:
+                return cached
+
+        # Discover token endpoint from user's URL
+        token_endpoint = self.discover_token_endpoint(expected_me)
+
+        # Verify with external endpoint
+        token_info = self.verify_with_endpoint(
+            bearer_token,
+            token_endpoint,
+            expected_me
+        )
+
+        # Cache if valid
+        if token_info and self.cache:
+            self.cache.set(bearer_token, token_info)
+
+        return token_info
+```
+
+#### 2.2 Endpoint Discovery Component
+```python
+# starpunk/indieauth/discovery.py
+
+class EndpointDiscovery:
+    """
+    Discovers IndieAuth endpoints from user URLs
+    Implements full spec compliance for discovery
+    """
+
+    def discover_token_endpoint(self, me_url: str) -> str:
+        """
+        Discover token endpoint from profile URL
+
+        Priority order (per spec):
+        1. HTTP Link header
+        2. HTML <link> element
+        3. IndieAuth metadata endpoint
+        """
+        response = httpx.get(me_url, follow_redirects=True)
+
+        # 1. Check HTTP Link header (highest priority)
+        link_header = response.headers.get('Link', '')
+        if endpoint := self.parse_link_header(link_header, 'token_endpoint'):
+            return urljoin(me_url, endpoint)
+
+        # 2. Check HTML if content-type is HTML
+        if 'text/html' in response.headers.get('content-type', ''):
+            if endpoint := self.parse_html_links(response.text, 'token_endpoint'):
+                return urljoin(me_url, endpoint)
+
+        # 3. Check for indieauth-metadata endpoint
+        if metadata_url := self.find_metadata_endpoint(response):
+            metadata = httpx.get(metadata_url).json()
+            if endpoint := metadata.get('token_endpoint'):
+                return endpoint
+
+        raise DiscoveryError(f"No token endpoint found at {me_url}")
+```
+
+### 3. Database Schema (V1 - Unused but Present)
+
+```sql
+-- These tables exist but are NOT USED in V1
+-- They are created for future V2 internal provider support
+-- Document this clearly in the migration
+
+-- tokens table: For future internal token storage
+-- authorization_codes table: For future OAuth flow support
+
+-- V1 uses only external token verification via HTTP
+-- No database queries for token validation in V1
+```
+
+### 4. API Contract
+
+#### Micropub Endpoint
+```yaml
+endpoint: /api/micropub
+methods: [POST]
+authentication: Bearer token
+
+request:
+  headers:
+    Authorization: "Bearer {access_token}"
+    Content-Type: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" or "application/json"
+
+  body: |
+    Micropub create request per spec
+
+response:
+  success:
+    status: 201
+    headers:
+      Location: "https://starpunk.example.com/notes/{id}"
+
+  unauthorized:
+    status: 401
+    body:
+      error: "unauthorized"
+      error_description: "No access token provided"
+
+  forbidden:
+    status: 403
+    body:
+      error: "forbidden"
+      error_description: "Invalid or expired access token"
+
+  server_error:
+    status: 503
+    body:
+      error: "temporarily_unavailable"
+      error_description: "Authorization server is unreachable"
+```
+
+### 5. Configuration
+
+```ini
+# config.ini or environment variables
+
+# User's identity URL (required)
+ADMIN_ME=https://user.example.com
+
+# Token cache settings (optional)
+MICROPUB_TOKEN_CACHE_ENABLED=true
+MICROPUB_TOKEN_CACHE_TTL=300
+
+# HTTP client settings (optional)
+MICROPUB_HTTP_TIMEOUT=5.0
+MICROPUB_MAX_RETRIES=1
+```
+
+### 6. Security Considerations
+
+#### Token Handling
+- **Never store plain tokens** - Only cache with SHA256 hashes
+- **Always use HTTPS** - Token verification must use TLS
+- **Validate 'me' field** - Must match configured admin identity
+- **Check scope** - Ensure 'create' scope for Micropub posts
+
+#### Cache Security
+- **Short TTL** - 5 minutes maximum to limit revocation delay
+- **Hash tokens** - Even in cache, never store plain tokens
+- **Memory only** - Don't persist cache to disk
+- **Config option** - Allow disabling cache in high-security environments
+
+#### Error Messages
+- **Don't leak tokens** - Never include tokens in error messages
+- **Generic client errors** - Don't reveal why authentication failed
+- **Specific server errors** - Help users understand connectivity issues
+
+### 7. Testing Strategy
+
+#### Unit Tests
+```python
+def test_token_verification():
+    """Test external token verification"""
+    # Mock HTTP client
+    # Test valid token response
+    # Test invalid token response
+    # Test network errors
+    # Test timeout handling
+
+def test_endpoint_discovery():
+    """Test endpoint discovery from URLs"""
+    # Test HTTP Link header discovery
+    # Test HTML link element discovery
+    # Test metadata endpoint discovery
+    # Test relative URL resolution
+
+def test_cache_behavior():
+    """Test token cache"""
+    # Test cache hit
+    # Test cache miss
+    # Test TTL expiry
+    # Test cache disabled
+```
+
+#### Integration Tests
+```python
+def test_micropub_with_valid_token():
+    """Test full Micropub flow with valid token"""
+    # Mock token endpoint
+    # Send Micropub request
+    # Verify note created
+    # Check Location header
+
+def test_micropub_with_invalid_token():
+    """Test Micropub rejection with invalid token"""
+    # Mock token endpoint to return 401
+    # Send Micropub request
+    # Verify 403 response
+    # Verify no note created
+
+def test_micropub_with_unreachable_auth_server():
+    """Test handling of unreachable auth server"""
+    # Mock network timeout
+    # Send Micropub request
+    # Verify 503 response
+    # Verify error message
+```
+

+## Migration Path
+
+### For Existing Installations
+
+1. **Database**: No action needed (tables remain but unused)
+2. **Configuration**: Add ADMIN_ME setting
+3. **Users**: Provide setup instructions for their domains
+4. **Testing**: Verify external token verification works
+
+### For New Installations
+
+1. **Fresh start**: Full V1 external-only implementation
+2. **Simple setup**: Just configure ADMIN_ME
+3. **User guide**: How to configure their domain for IndieAuth
+
+## Conclusion
+
+This architecture provides a clean, secure, and standards-compliant implementation of external IndieAuth token verification. The design follows the principle of "every line of code must justify its existence" by removing unnecessary internal provider complexity while maintaining full Micropub support.
+
+The key insight is that StarPunk is a **Micropub server**, not an **authorization server**. This separation of concerns aligns perfectly with IndieWeb principles and keeps the codebase minimal and focused.

+# IndieAuth Removal: Phased Implementation Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+This document breaks down the IndieAuth server removal into testable phases, each with clear acceptance criteria and verification steps.
+
+## Phase 1: Remove Authorization Server (4 hours)
+
+### Objective
+Remove the authorization endpoint and consent UI while keeping the system functional.
+
+### Tasks
+
+#### 1.1 Remove Authorization UI (30 min)
+```bash
+# Delete consent template
+rm /home/phil/Projects/starpunk/templates/auth/authorize.html
+
+# Verify
+ls /home/phil/Projects/starpunk/templates/auth/
+# Should be empty or not exist
+```
+
+#### 1.2 Remove Authorization Endpoint (1 hour)
+In `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/starpunk/routes/auth.py`:
+- Delete `authorization_endpoint()` function
+- Delete related imports from `starpunk.tokens`
+- Keep admin auth routes intact
+
+#### 1.3 Remove Authorization Tests (30 min)
+```bash
+# Delete test files
+rm /home/phil/Projects/starpunk/tests/test_routes_authorization.py
+rm /home/phil/Projects/starpunk/tests/test_auth_pkce.py
+```
+
+#### 1.4 Remove PKCE Implementation (1 hour)
+From `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/starpunk/auth.py`:
+- Remove `generate_code_verifier()`
+- Remove `calculate_code_challenge()`
+- Remove PKCE validation logic
+- Keep session management functions
+
+#### 1.5 Update Route Registration (30 min)
+Ensure no references to `/auth/authorization` in:
+- URL route definitions
+- Template URL generation
+- Documentation
+
+### Acceptance Criteria
+
+✅ **Server Starts Successfully**
+```bash
+uv run python -m starpunk
+# No import errors or missing route errors
+```
+
+✅ **Admin Login Works**
+```bash
+# Navigate to /admin/login
+# Can still authenticate via IndieLogin.com
+# Session created successfully
+```
+
+✅ **No Authorization Endpoint**
+```bash
+curl -I http://localhost:5000/auth/authorization
+# Should return 404 Not Found
+```
+
+✅ **Tests Pass (Remaining)**
+```bash
+uv run pytest tests/ -k "not authorization and not pkce"
+# All remaining tests pass
+```
+
+### Verification Commands
+```bash
+# Check for orphaned imports
+grep -r "authorization_endpoint" /home/phil/Projects/starpunk/
+# Should return nothing
+
+# Check for PKCE references
+grep -r "code_challenge\|code_verifier" /home/phil/Projects/starpunk/
+# Should only appear in migration files or comments
+```
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2: Remove Token Issuance (3 hours)
+
+### Objective
+Remove token generation and issuance while keeping token verification temporarily.
+
+### Tasks
+
+#### 2.1 Remove Token Endpoint (1 hour)
+In `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/starpunk/routes/auth.py`:
+- Delete `token_endpoint()` function
+- Remove token-related imports
+
+#### 2.2 Remove Token Generation (1 hour)
+In `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/starpunk/tokens.py`:
+- Remove `create_access_token()`
+- Remove `create_authorization_code()`
+- Remove `exchange_authorization_code()`
+- Keep `verify_token()` temporarily (will modify in Phase 4)
+
+#### 2.3 Remove Token Tests (30 min)
+```bash
+rm /home/phil/Projects/starpunk/tests/test_routes_token.py
+rm /home/phil/Projects/starpunk/tests/test_tokens.py
+```
+
+#### 2.4 Clean Up Exceptions (30 min)
+Remove custom exceptions:
+- `InvalidAuthorizationCodeError`
+- `ExpiredAuthorizationCodeError`
+- Update error handling to use generic exceptions
+
+### Acceptance Criteria
+
+✅ **No Token Endpoint**
+```bash
+curl -I http://localhost:5000/auth/token
+# Should return 404 Not Found
+```
+
+✅ **No Token Generation Code**
+```bash
+grep -r "create_access_token\|create_authorization_code" /home/phil/Projects/starpunk/starpunk/
+# Should return nothing (except in comments)
+```
+
+✅ **Server Still Runs**
+```bash
+uv run python -m starpunk
+# No import errors
+```
+
+✅ **Micropub Temporarily Broken (Expected)**
+```bash
+# This is expected and will be fixed in Phase 4
+# Document that Micropub is non-functional during migration
+```
+
+### Verification Commands
+```bash
+# Check for token generation references
+grep -r "generate_token\|issue_token" /home/phil/Projects/starpunk/
+# Should be empty
+
+# Verify exception cleanup
+grep -r "InvalidAuthorizationCodeError" /home/phil/Projects/starpunk/
+# Should be empty
+```
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3: Database Schema Simplification (2 hours)
+
+### Objective
+Remove authorization and token tables from the database.
+
+### Tasks
+
+#### 3.1 Create Removal Migration (30 min)
+Create `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/migrations/003_remove_indieauth_tables.sql`:
+```sql
+-- Remove IndieAuth server tables
+BEGIN TRANSACTION;
+
+-- Drop dependent objects first
+DROP INDEX IF EXISTS idx_tokens_hash;
+DROP INDEX IF EXISTS idx_tokens_user_id;
+DROP INDEX IF EXISTS idx_tokens_client_id;
+DROP INDEX IF EXISTS idx_auth_codes_code;
+DROP INDEX IF EXISTS idx_auth_codes_user_id;
+
+-- Drop tables
+DROP TABLE IF EXISTS tokens CASCADE;
+DROP TABLE IF EXISTS authorization_codes CASCADE;
+
+-- Clean up any orphaned sequences
+DROP SEQUENCE IF EXISTS tokens_id_seq;
+DROP SEQUENCE IF EXISTS authorization_codes_id_seq;
+
+COMMIT;
+```
+
+#### 3.2 Run Migration (30 min)
+```bash
+# Backup database first
+pg_dump $DATABASE_URL > backup_before_removal.sql
+
+# Run migration
+uv run python -m starpunk.migrate
+```
+
+#### 3.3 Update Schema Documentation (30 min)
+Update `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/docs/design/database-schema.md`:
+- Remove token table documentation
+- Remove authorization_codes table documentation
+- Update ER diagram
+
+#### 3.4 Remove Old Migration (30 min)
+```bash
+# Archive old migration
+mv /home/phil/Projects/starpunk/migrations/002_secure_tokens_and_authorization_codes.sql \
+   /home/phil/Projects/starpunk/migrations/archive/
+```
+
+### Acceptance Criteria
+
+✅ **Tables Removed**
+```sql
+-- Connect to database and verify
+\dt
+-- Should NOT list 'tokens' or 'authorization_codes'
+```
+
+✅ **No Foreign Key Errors**
+```sql
+-- Check for orphaned constraints
+SELECT conname FROM pg_constraint
+WHERE conname LIKE '%token%' OR conname LIKE '%auth%';
+-- Should return minimal results (only auth_state related)
+```
+
+✅ **Application Starts**
+```bash
+uv run python -m starpunk
+# No database connection errors
+```
+
+✅ **Admin Functions Work**
+- Can log in
+- Can create posts
+- Sessions persist
+
+### Rollback Plan
+```bash
+# If issues arise
+psql $DATABASE_URL < backup_before_removal.sql
+# Re-run old migration
+psql $DATABASE_URL < /home/phil/Projects/starpunk/migrations/archive/002_secure_tokens_and_authorization_codes.sql
+```
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4: External Token Verification (4 hours)
+
+### Objective
+Replace internal token verification with external provider verification.
+
+### Tasks
+
+#### 4.1 Implement External Verification (2 hours)
+Create new verification in `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/starpunk/micropub.py`:
+```python
+import hashlib
+import httpx
+from typing import Optional, Dict, Any
+from flask import current_app
+
+# Simple in-memory cache
+_token_cache = {}
+
+def verify_token(bearer_token: str) -> Optional[Dict[str, Any]]:
+    """Verify token with external endpoint"""
+    # Check cache
+    token_hash = hashlib.sha256(bearer_token.encode()).hexdigest()
+    if token_hash in _token_cache:
+        data, expiry = _token_cache[token_hash]
+        if time.time() < expiry:
+            return data
+        del _token_cache[token_hash]
+
+    # Verify with external endpoint
+    endpoint = current_app.config.get('TOKEN_ENDPOINT')
+    if not endpoint:
+        return None
+
+    try:
+        response = httpx.get(
+            endpoint,
+            headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {bearer_token}'},
+            timeout=5.0
+        )
+
+        if response.status_code != 200:
+            return None
+
+        data = response.json()
+
+        # Validate response
+        if data.get('me') != current_app.config.get('ADMIN_ME'):
+            return None
+
+        if 'create' not in data.get('scope', '').split():
+            return None
+
+        # Cache for 5 minutes
+        _token_cache[token_hash] = (data, time.time() + 300)
+
+        return data
+
+    except Exception as e:
+        current_app.logger.error(f"Token verification failed: {e}")
+        return None
+```
+
+#### 4.2 Update Configuration (30 min)
+In `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/starpunk/config.py`:
+```python
+# External IndieAuth settings
+TOKEN_ENDPOINT = os.getenv('TOKEN_ENDPOINT', 'https://tokens.indieauth.com/token')
+ADMIN_ME = os.getenv('ADMIN_ME')  # Required
+
+# Validate configuration
+if not ADMIN_ME:
+    raise ValueError("ADMIN_ME must be configured")
+```
+
+#### 4.3 Remove Old Token Module (30 min)
+```bash
+rm /home/phil/Projects/starpunk/starpunk/tokens.py
+```
+
+#### 4.4 Update Tests (1 hour)
+Update `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/tests/test_micropub.py`:
+```python
+@patch('starpunk.micropub.httpx.get')
+def test_external_token_verification(mock_get):
+    mock_response = Mock()
+    mock_response.status_code = 200
+    mock_response.json.return_value = {
+        'me': 'https://example.com',
+        'scope': 'create update'
+    }
+    mock_get.return_value = mock_response
+
+    # Test verification
+    result = verify_token('test-token')
+    assert result is not None
+    assert result['me'] == 'https://example.com'
+```
+
+### Acceptance Criteria
+
+✅ **External Verification Works**
+```bash
+# With a valid token from tokens.indieauth.com
+curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/micropub \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer VALID_TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"type": ["h-entry"], "properties": {"content": ["Test"]}}'
+# Should return 201 Created
+```
+
+✅ **Invalid Tokens Rejected**
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/micropub \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer INVALID_TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"type": ["h-entry"], "properties": {"content": ["Test"]}}'
+# Should return 403 Forbidden
+```
+
+✅ **Token Caching Works**
+```python
+# In test environment
+token = "test-token"
+result1 = verify_token(token)  # External call
+result2 = verify_token(token)  # Should use cache
+# Verify only one external call made
+```
+
+✅ **Configuration Validated**
+```bash
+# Without ADMIN_ME set
+unset ADMIN_ME
+uv run python -m starpunk
+# Should fail with clear error message
+```
+
+### Performance Verification
+```bash
+# Measure token verification time
+time curl -X GET http://localhost:5000/micropub \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer VALID_TOKEN" \
+  -w "\nTime: %{time_total}s\n"
+# First call: <500ms
+# Cached calls: <50ms
+```
+

+
+## Phase 5: Documentation and Discovery (2 hours)
+
+### Objective
+Update all documentation and add proper IndieAuth discovery headers.
+
+### Tasks
+
+#### 5.1 Add Discovery Links (30 min)
+In `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/templates/base.html`:
+```html
+<head>
+    <!-- Existing head content -->
+
+    <!-- IndieAuth Discovery -->
+    <link rel="authorization_endpoint" href="https://indieauth.com/auth">
+    <link rel="token_endpoint" href="{{ config.TOKEN_ENDPOINT }}">
+    <link rel="micropub" href="{{ url_for('micropub.micropub_endpoint', _external=True) }}">
+</head>
+```
+
+#### 5.2 Update User Documentation (45 min)
+Create `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/docs/user-guide/indieauth-setup.md`:
+```markdown
+# Setting Up IndieAuth for StarPunk
+
+## Quick Start
+
+1. Add these links to your personal website's HTML:
+   ```html
+   <link rel="authorization_endpoint" href="https://indieauth.com/auth">
+   <link rel="token_endpoint" href="https://tokens.indieauth.com/token">
+   <link rel="micropub" href="https://your-starpunk.com/micropub">
+   ```
+
+2. Configure StarPunk:

+@bp.route("/logout")
+def logout():
+    # Keep existing logout
+
+# DELETE: authorization_endpoint()

+```
+
+### 2. `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/starpunk/auth.py`
+
+**Remove**:
+- PKCE code verifier generation
+- PKCE challenge calculation
+- Authorization state management for codes
+
+**Keep**:
+- Admin session management
+- IndieLogin.com integration
+- CSRF protection
+
+### 3. `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/starpunk/micropub.py`
+
+**Current Token Verification**:
+```python
+from starpunk.tokens import verify_token
+
+def handle_request():
+    token_info = verify_token(bearer_token)
+    if not token_info:
+        return error_response("forbidden")
+```
+
+**New Token Verification**:
+```python
+import httpx
+from flask import current_app
+
+def verify_token(bearer_token: str) -> Optional[Dict[str, Any]]:
+    """
+    Verify token with external token endpoint
+
+    Uses the configured TOKEN_ENDPOINT to validate tokens.
+    Caches successful validations for 5 minutes.
+    """
+    # Check cache first
+    cached = get_cached_token(bearer_token)
+    if cached:
+        return cached
+
+    # Verify with external endpoint
+    token_endpoint = current_app.config.get(
+        'TOKEN_ENDPOINT',
+        'https://tokens.indieauth.com/token'
+    )
+
+    try:
+        response = httpx.get(
+            token_endpoint,
+            headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {bearer_token}'},
+            timeout=5.0
+        )
+
+        if response.status_code != 200:
+            return None
+
+        data = response.json()
+
+        # Verify it's for our user
+        if data.get('me') != current_app.config['ADMIN_ME']:
+            return None
+
+        # Verify scope
+        scope = data.get('scope', '')
+        if 'create' not in scope.split():
+            return None
+
+        # Cache for 5 minutes
+        cache_token(bearer_token, data, ttl=300)
+
+        return data
+
+    except Exception as e:
+        current_app.logger.error(f"Token verification failed: {e}")
+        return None
+```
+
+### 4. `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/starpunk/config.py`
+
+**Add**:
+```python
+# External IndieAuth Configuration
+TOKEN_ENDPOINT = os.getenv(
+    'TOKEN_ENDPOINT',
+    'https://tokens.indieauth.com/token'
+)
+
+# Remove internal auth endpoints
+# DELETE: AUTHORIZATION_ENDPOINT
+# DELETE: TOKEN_ISSUER
+```
+
+### 5. `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/templates/base.html`
+
+**Add to `<head>` section**:
+```html
+<!-- IndieAuth Discovery -->
+<link rel="authorization_endpoint" href="https://indieauth.com/auth">
+<link rel="token_endpoint" href="{{ config.TOKEN_ENDPOINT }}">
+<link rel="micropub" href="{{ url_for('micropub.micropub_endpoint', _external=True) }}">
+```
+
+### 6. `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/tests/test_micropub.py`
+
+**Update token verification mocking**:
+```python
+@patch('starpunk.micropub.httpx.get')
+def test_micropub_with_valid_token(mock_get):
+    """Test Micropub with valid external token"""
+    # Mock external token verification
+    mock_get.return_value.status_code = 200
+    mock_get.return_value.json.return_value = {
+        'me': 'https://example.com',
+        'client_id': 'https://quill.p3k.io',
+        'scope': 'create update'
+    }
+
+    # Test Micropub request
+    response = client.post(
+        '/micropub',
+        headers={'Authorization': 'Bearer test-token'},
+        json={'type': ['h-entry'], 'properties': {'content': ['Test']}}
+    )
+
+    assert response.status_code == 201
+```
+
+## Database Migration
+
+### Create Migration File
+`/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/migrations/003_remove_indieauth_server.sql`:
+```sql
+-- Migration: Remove IndieAuth Server Tables
+-- Description: Remove authorization_codes and tokens tables as we're using external providers
+-- Date: 2025-11-24
+
+-- Drop tokens table (depends on authorization_codes)
+DROP TABLE IF EXISTS tokens;
+
+-- Drop authorization_codes table
+DROP TABLE IF EXISTS authorization_codes;
+
+-- Remove any indexes
+DROP INDEX IF EXISTS idx_tokens_hash;
+DROP INDEX IF EXISTS idx_tokens_user_id;
+DROP INDEX IF EXISTS idx_auth_codes_code;
+DROP INDEX IF EXISTS idx_auth_codes_user_id;
+
+-- Update schema version
+UPDATE schema_version SET version = 3 WHERE id = 1;
+```
+
+## Configuration Changes
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+**Remove from `.env`**:
+```bash
+# DELETE THESE
+AUTHORIZATION_ENDPOINT=/auth/authorization
+TOKEN_ENDPOINT=/auth/token
+TOKEN_ISSUER=https://starpunk.example.com
+```
+
+**Add to `.env`**:
+```bash
+# External IndieAuth Provider
+TOKEN_ENDPOINT=https://tokens.indieauth.com/token
+ADMIN_ME=https://your-domain.com
+```
+
+### Docker Compose
+
+Update `docker-compose.yml` environment section:
+```yaml
+environment:
+  - TOKEN_ENDPOINT=https://tokens.indieauth.com/token
+  - ADMIN_ME=${ADMIN_ME}
+  # Remove: AUTHORIZATION_ENDPOINT
+  # Remove: TOKEN_ENDPOINT (internal)
+```
+
+## Import Cleanup
+
+### Files with Import Changes
+
+1. **Main app** (`/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/starpunk/__init__.py`):
+   - Remove: `from starpunk import tokens`
+   - Remove: Registration of token-related error handlers
+
+2. **Routes init** (`/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/starpunk/routes/__init__.py`):
+   - No changes needed (auth blueprint still exists)
+
+3. **Test fixtures** (`/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/tests/conftest.py`):
+   - Remove: Token creation fixtures
+   - Remove: Authorization code fixtures
+
+## Error Handling Updates
+
+### Remove Custom Exceptions
+
+From various files, remove:
+```python
+- InvalidAuthorizationCodeError
+- ExpiredAuthorizationCodeError
+- InvalidTokenError
+- ExpiredTokenError
+- InsufficientScopeError
+```
+
+### Update Error Responses
+
+In Micropub, simplify to:
+```python
+if not token_info:
+    return error_response("forbidden", "Invalid or expired token")
+```
+
+## Testing Updates
+
+### Test Coverage Impact
+
+**Before Removal**:
+- ~20 test files
+- ~1500 lines of test code
+- Coverage: 95%
+
+**After Removal**:
+- ~15 test files
+- ~1000 lines of test code
+- Expected coverage: 93%
+
+### New Test Requirements
+
+1. **Mock External Verification**:
+   ```python
+   @pytest.fixture
+   def mock_token_endpoint():
+       with patch('starpunk.micropub.httpx.get') as mock:
+           yield mock
+   ```
+
+2. **Test Scenarios**:
+   - Valid token from external provider
+   - Invalid token (404 from provider)
+   - Wrong user (me doesn't match)
+   - Insufficient scope
+   - Network timeout
+   - Provider unavailable
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Token Verification Caching
+
+Implement simple TTL cache:
+```python
+from functools import lru_cache
+from time import time
+
+token_cache = {}  # {token_hash: (data, expiry)}
+
+def cache_token(token: str, data: dict, ttl: int = 300):
+    token_hash = hashlib.sha256(token.encode()).hexdigest()
+    token_cache[token_hash] = (data, time() + ttl)
+
+def get_cached_token(token: str) -> Optional[dict]:
+    token_hash = hashlib.sha256(token.encode()).hexdigest()
+    if token_hash in token_cache:
+        data, expiry = token_cache[token_hash]
+        if time() < expiry:
+            return data
+        del token_cache[token_hash]
+    return None
+```
+
+### Expected Latencies
+
+- **Without cache**: 200-500ms per request (external API call)
+- **With cache**: <1ms for cached tokens
+- **Cache hit rate**: ~95% for active sessions
+
+## Documentation Updates
+
+### Files to Update
+
+1. **README.md**:
+   - Remove references to built-in authorization
+   - Add external provider setup instructions
+
+2. **Architecture Overview** (`/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/docs/architecture/overview.md`):
+   - Update component diagram
+   - Remove authorization server component
+   - Clarify Micropub-only role
+
+3. **API Documentation** (`/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/docs/api/`):
+   - Remove `/auth/authorization` endpoint docs
+   - Remove `/auth/token` endpoint docs
+   - Update Micropub authentication section
+
+4. **Deployment Guide** (`/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/docs/deployment/`):
+   - Update environment variable list
+   - Add external provider configuration
+
+## Rollback Plan
+
+### Emergency Rollback Script
+
+Create `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/scripts/rollback-auth.sh`:
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# Emergency rollback for IndieAuth removal
+
+echo "Rolling back IndieAuth removal..."
+
+# Restore from git
+git revert HEAD~5..HEAD
+
+# Restore database
+psql $DATABASE_URL < migrations/002_secure_tokens_and_authorization_codes.sql
+
+# Restore config
+cp .env.backup .env
+
+# Restart service
+docker-compose restart
+
+echo "Rollback complete"
+```
+
+### Verification After Rollback
+
+1. Check endpoints respond:
+   ```bash
+   curl -I https://starpunk.example.com/auth/authorization
+   curl -I https://starpunk.example.com/auth/token
+   ```
+
+2. Run test suite:
+   ```bash
+   pytest tests/test_auth.py
+   pytest tests/test_tokens.py
+   ```
+
+3. Verify database tables:
+   ```sql
+   SELECT COUNT(*) FROM authorization_codes;
+   SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tokens;
+   ```
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+### High Risk Areas
+1. **Breaking existing tokens**: All existing tokens become invalid
+2. **External dependency**: Reliance on external service availability
+3. **Configuration errors**: Users may misconfigure endpoints
+
+### Mitigation Strategies
+1. **Clear communication**: Announce breaking change prominently
+2. **Graceful degradation**: Cache tokens, handle timeouts
+3. **Validation tools**: Provide config validation script
+

+# IndieAuth Token Verification Diagnosis
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+**The Problem**: StarPunk is receiving HTTP 405 Method Not Allowed when verifying tokens with gondulf.thesatelliteoflove.com
+
+**The Cause**: The gondulf IndieAuth provider does not implement the W3C IndieAuth specification correctly
+
+**The Solution**: The provider needs to be fixed - StarPunk's implementation is correct
+
+## Why We Make GET Requests
+
+You asked: "Why are we making GET requests to these endpoints?"
+
+**Answer**: Because the W3C IndieAuth specification explicitly requires GET requests for token verification.
+
+### The IndieAuth Token Endpoint Dual Purpose
+
+The token endpoint serves two distinct purposes with different HTTP methods:
+
+1. **Token Issuance (POST)**
+   - Client sends authorization code
+   - Server returns new access token
+   - State-changing operation
+
+2. **Token Verification (GET)**
+   - Resource server sends token in Authorization header
+   - Token endpoint returns token metadata
+   - Read-only operation
+
+### Why This Design Makes Sense
+
+The specification follows RESTful principles:
+
+- **GET** = Read data (verify a token exists and is valid)
+- **POST** = Create/modify data (issue a new token)
+
+This is similar to how you might:
+- GET /users/123 to read user information
+- POST /users to create a new user
+
+## The Specific Problem
+
+### What Should Happen
+```
+StarPunk → GET https://gondulf.thesatelliteoflove.com/token
+           Authorization: Bearer abc123...
+
+Gondulf  → 200 OK
+           {
+             "me": "https://thesatelliteoflove.com",
+             "client_id": "https://starpunk.example",
+             "scope": "create"
+           }
+```
+
+### What Actually Happens
+```
+StarPunk → GET https://gondulf.thesatelliteoflove.com/token
+           Authorization: Bearer abc123...
+
+Gondulf  → 405 Method Not Allowed
+           (Server doesn't support GET on /token)
+```
+
+## Code Analysis
+
+### Our Implementation (Correct)
+
+From `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/starpunk/auth_external.py` line 425:
+
+```python
+def _verify_with_endpoint(endpoint: str, token: str) -> Dict[str, Any]:
+    """
+    Verify token with the discovered token endpoint
+
+    Makes GET request to endpoint with Authorization header.
+    """
+    headers = {
+        'Authorization': f'Bearer {token}',
+        'Accept': 'application/json',
+    }
+
+    response = httpx.get(  # ← Correct: Using GET
+        endpoint,
+        headers=headers,
+        timeout=VERIFICATION_TIMEOUT,
+        follow_redirects=True,
+    )
+```
+
+### IndieAuth Spec Reference
+
+From W3C IndieAuth Section 6.3.4:
+
+> "If an external endpoint needs to verify that an access token is valid, it **MUST** make a **GET request** to the token endpoint containing an HTTP `Authorization` header with the Bearer Token according to RFC6750."
+
+(Emphasis added)
+
+## Why the Provider is Wrong
+
+The gondulf IndieAuth provider appears to:
+1. Only implement POST for token issuance
+2. Not implement GET for token verification
+3. Return 405 for any GET requests to /token
+
+This is only a partial implementation of IndieAuth.
+
+## Impact Analysis
+
+### What This Breaks
+- StarPunk cannot authenticate users through gondulf
+- Any other spec-compliant Micropub client would also fail
+- The provider is not truly IndieAuth compliant
+
+### What This Doesn't Break
+- Our code is correct
+- We can work with any compliant IndieAuth provider
+- The architecture is sound
+
+## Solutions
+
+### Option 1: Fix the Provider (Recommended)
+The gondulf provider needs to:
+1. Add GET method support to /token endpoint
+2. Verify bearer tokens from Authorization header
+3. Return appropriate JSON response
+
+### Option 2: Use a Different Provider
+Known compliant providers:
+- IndieAuth.com
+- IndieLogin.com
+- Self-hosted IndieAuth servers that implement full spec
+
+### Option 3: Work Around (Not Recommended)
+We could add a non-compliant mode, but this would:
+- Violate the specification
+- Encourage bad implementations
+- Add unnecessary complexity
+- Create security concerns
+
+## Summary
+
+**Your Question**: "Why are we making GET requests to these endpoints?"
+
+**Answer**: Because that's what the IndieAuth specification requires for token verification. We're doing it right. The gondulf provider is doing it wrong.
+
+**Action Required**: The gondulf IndieAuth provider needs to implement GET support on their token endpoint to be IndieAuth compliant.

+# Migration Race Condition Fix - Quick Implementation Reference
+
+## Implementation Checklist
+
+### Code Changes - `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/starpunk/migrations.py`
+
+```python
+# 1. Add imports at top
+import time
+import random
+
+# 2. Replace entire run_migrations function (lines 304-462)
+# See full implementation in migration-race-condition-fix-implementation.md
+
+# Key patterns to implement:
+
+# A. Retry loop structure
+max_retries = 10
+retry_count = 0
+base_delay = 0.1
+start_time = time.time()
+max_total_time = 120  # 2 minute absolute max

+    f"Action: Restart container with single worker to diagnose"
+)
+```
+
+### Testing Requirements
+
+#### 1. Unit Test File: `test_migration_race_condition.py`
+```python
+import multiprocessing
+from multiprocessing import Barrier, Process
+import time
+
+def test_concurrent_migrations():
+    """Test 4 workers starting simultaneously"""
+    barrier = Barrier(4)
+
+    def worker(worker_id):
+        barrier.wait()  # Synchronize start
+        from starpunk import create_app
+        app = create_app()
+        return True
+
+    with multiprocessing.Pool(4) as pool:
+        results = pool.map(worker, range(4))
+
+    assert all(results), "Some workers failed"
+
+def test_lock_retry():
+    """Test retry logic with mock"""
+    with patch('sqlite3.connect') as mock:
+        mock.side_effect = [
+            sqlite3.OperationalError("database is locked"),
+            sqlite3.OperationalError("database is locked"),
+            MagicMock()  # Success on 3rd try
+        ]
+        run_migrations(db_path)
+        assert mock.call_count == 3
+```
+
+#### 2. Integration Test: `test_integration.sh`
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# Test with actual gunicorn
+
+# Clean start
+rm -f test.db
+
+# Start gunicorn with 4 workers
+timeout 10 gunicorn --workers 4 --bind 127.0.0.1:8001 app:app &
+PID=$!
+
+# Wait for startup
+sleep 3
+
+# Check if running
+if ! kill -0 $PID 2>/dev/null; then
+    echo "FAILED: Gunicorn crashed"
+    exit 1
+fi
+
+# Check health endpoint
+curl -f http://127.0.0.1:8001/health || exit 1
+
+# Cleanup
+kill $PID
+
+echo "SUCCESS: All workers started without race condition"
+```
+
+#### 3. Container Test: `test_container.sh`
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# Test in container environment
+
+# Build
+podman build -t starpunk:race-test -f Containerfile .
+
+# Run with fresh database
+podman run --rm -d --name race-test \
+    -v $(pwd)/test-data:/data \
+    starpunk:race-test
+
+# Check logs for success patterns
+sleep 5
+podman logs race-test | grep -E "(Applied migration|already applied by another worker)"
+
+# Cleanup
+podman stop race-test
+```
+
+### Verification Patterns in Logs
+
+#### Successful Migration (One Worker Wins)
+```
+Worker 0: Applying migration: 001_initial_schema.sql
+Worker 1: Database locked by another worker, retry 1/10 in 0.21s
+Worker 2: Database locked by another worker, retry 1/10 in 0.23s
+Worker 3: Database locked by another worker, retry 1/10 in 0.19s
+Worker 0: Applied migration: 001_initial_schema.sql
+Worker 1: All migrations already applied by another worker
+Worker 2: All migrations already applied by another worker
+Worker 3: All migrations already applied by another worker
+```
+
+#### Performance Metrics to Check
+- Single worker: < 100ms total
+- 4 workers: < 500ms total
+- 10 workers (stress): < 2000ms total
+
+### Rollback Plan if Issues
+
+1. **Immediate Workaround**
+   ```bash
+   # Change to single worker temporarily
+   gunicorn --workers 1 --bind 0.0.0.0:8000 app:app
+   ```
+
+2. **Revert Code**
+   ```bash
+   git revert HEAD
+   ```
+
+3. **Emergency Patch**
+   ```python
+   # In app.py temporarily
+   import os
+   if os.getenv('GUNICORN_WORKER_ID', '1') == '1':
+       init_db()  # Only first worker runs migrations
+   ```
+
+### Deployment Commands
+
+```bash
+# 1. Run tests
+python -m pytest test_migration_race_condition.py -v
+
+# 2. Build container
+podman build -t starpunk:v1.0.0-rc.3.1 -f Containerfile .
+
+# 3. Tag for release
+podman tag starpunk:v1.0.0-rc.3.1 git.philmade.com/starpunk:v1.0.0-rc.3.1
+
+# 4. Push
+podman push git.philmade.com/starpunk:v1.0.0-rc.3.1
+
+# 5. Deploy
+kubectl rollout restart deployment/starpunk
+```
+
+---
+
+## Critical Points to Remember
+
+1. **NEW CONNECTION EACH RETRY** - Don't reuse connections
+2. **BEGIN IMMEDIATE** - Not EXCLUSIVE, not DEFERRED
+3. **30s per attempt, 120s total max** - Two different timeouts
+4. **Graduated logging** - DEBUG → INFO → WARNING based on retry count
+5. **Test at multiple levels** - Unit, integration, container
+6. **Fresh database state** between tests

+# Migration Race Condition Fix - Architectural Answers
+
+## Status: READY FOR IMPLEMENTATION
+
+All 23 questions have been answered with concrete guidance. The developer can proceed with implementation.
+
+---
+
+## Critical Questions
+
+### 1. Connection Lifecycle Management
+**Q: Should we create a new connection for each retry or reuse the same connection?**
+
+**Answer: NEW CONNECTION per retry**
+- Each retry MUST create a fresh connection
+- Rationale: Failed lock acquisition may leave connection in inconsistent state
+- SQLite connections are lightweight; overhead is minimal
+- Pattern:
+  ```python
+  while retry_count < max_retries:
+      conn = None  # Fresh connection each iteration
+      try:
+          conn = sqlite3.connect(db_path, timeout=30.0)
+          # ... attempt migration ...
+      finally:
+          if conn:
+              conn.close()
+  ```
+
+### 2. Transaction Boundaries
+**Q: Should init_db() wrap everything in one transaction?**
+
+**Answer: NO - Separate transactions for different operations**
+- Schema creation: Own transaction (already implicit in executescript)
+- Migrations: Own transaction with BEGIN IMMEDIATE
+- Initial data: Own transaction
+- Rationale: Minimizes lock duration and allows partial success visibility
+- Each operation is atomic but independent
+
+### 3. Lock Timeout vs Retry Timeout
+**Q: Connection timeout is 30s but retry logic could take ~102s. Conflict?**
+
+**Answer: This is BY DESIGN - No conflict**
+- 30s timeout: Maximum wait for any single lock acquisition attempt
+- 102s total: Maximum cumulative retry duration across multiple attempts
+- If one worker holds lock for 30s+, other workers timeout and retry
+- Pattern ensures no single worker waits indefinitely
+- Recommendation: Add total timeout check:
+  ```python
+  start_time = time.time()
+  max_total_time = 120  # 2 minutes absolute maximum
+  while retry_count < max_retries and (time.time() - start_time) < max_total_time:
+  ```
+
+### 4. Testing Strategy
+**Q: Should we use multiprocessing.Pool or actual gunicorn for testing?**
+
+**Answer: BOTH - Different test levels**
+- Unit tests: multiprocessing.Pool (fast, isolated)
+- Integration tests: Actual gunicorn with --workers 4
+- Container tests: Full podman/docker run
+- Test matrix:
+  ```
+  Level 1: Mock concurrent access (unit)
+  Level 2: multiprocessing.Pool (integration)
+  Level 3: gunicorn locally (system)
+  Level 4: Container with gunicorn (e2e)
+  ```
+
+### 5. BEGIN IMMEDIATE vs EXCLUSIVE
+**Q: Why use BEGIN IMMEDIATE instead of BEGIN EXCLUSIVE?**
+
+**Answer: BEGIN IMMEDIATE is CORRECT choice**
+- BEGIN IMMEDIATE: Acquires RESERVED lock (prevents other writes, allows reads)
+- BEGIN EXCLUSIVE: Acquires EXCLUSIVE lock (prevents all access)
+- Rationale:
+  - Migrations only need to prevent concurrent migrations (writes)
+  - Other workers can still read schema while one migrates
+  - Less contention, faster startup
+  - Only escalates to EXCLUSIVE when actually writing
+- Keep BEGIN IMMEDIATE as specified
+
+---
+
+## Edge Cases and Error Handling
+
+### 6. Partial Migration Failure
+**Q: What if a migration partially applies or rollback fails?**
+
+**Answer: Transaction atomicity handles this**
+- Within transaction: Automatic rollback on ANY error
+- Rollback failure: Extremely rare (corrupt database)
+- Strategy:
+  ```python
+  except Exception as e:
+      try:
+          conn.rollback()
+      except Exception as rollback_error:
+          logger.critical(f"FATAL: Rollback failed: {rollback_error}")
+          # Database potentially corrupt - fail hard
+          raise SystemExit(1)
+      raise MigrationError(e)
+  ```
+
+### 7. Migration File Consistency
+**Q: What if migration files change during deployment?**
+
+**Answer: Not a concern with proper deployment**
+- Container deployments: Files are immutable in image
+- Traditional deployment: Use atomic directory swap
+- If concerned, add checksum validation:
+  ```python
+  # Store in schema_migrations: (name, checksum, applied_at)
+  # Verify checksum matches before applying
+  ```
+
+### 8. Retry Exhaustion Error Messages
+**Q: What error message when retries exhausted?**
+
+**Answer: Be specific and actionable**
+```python
+raise MigrationError(
+    f"Failed to acquire migration lock after {max_retries} attempts over {elapsed:.1f}s. "
+    f"Possible causes:\n"
+    f"1. Another process is stuck in migration (check logs)\n"
+    f"2. Database file permissions issue\n"
+    f"3. Disk I/O problems\n"
+    f"Action: Restart container with single worker to diagnose"
+)
+```
+
+### 9. Logging Levels
+**Q: What log level for lock waits?**
+
+**Answer: Graduated approach**
+- Retry 1-3: DEBUG (normal operation)
+- Retry 4-7: INFO (getting concerning)
+- Retry 8+: WARNING (abnormal)
+- Exhausted: ERROR (operation failed)
+- Pattern:
+  ```python
+  if retry_count <= 3:
+      level = logging.DEBUG
+  elif retry_count <= 7:
+      level = logging.INFO
+  else:
+      level = logging.WARNING
+  logger.log(level, f"Retry {retry_count}/{max_retries}")
+  ```
+
+### 10. Index Creation Failure
+**Q: How to handle index creation failures in migration 002?**
+
+**Answer: Fail fast with clear context**
+```python
+for index_name, index_sql in indexes_to_create:
+    try:
+        conn.execute(index_sql)
+    except sqlite3.OperationalError as e:
+        if "already exists" in str(e):
+            logger.debug(f"Index {index_name} already exists")
+        else:
+            raise MigrationError(
+                f"Failed to create index {index_name}: {e}\n"
+                f"SQL: {index_sql}"
+            )
+```
+
+---
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### 11. Concurrent Testing Simulation
+**Q: How to properly simulate concurrent worker startup?**
+
+**Answer: Multiple approaches**
+```python
+# Approach 1: Barrier synchronization
+def test_concurrent_migrations():
+    barrier = multiprocessing.Barrier(4)
+
+    def worker():
+        barrier.wait()  # All start together
+        return run_migrations(db_path)
+
+    with multiprocessing.Pool(4) as pool:
+        results = pool.map(worker, range(4))
+
+# Approach 2: Process start
+processes = []
+for i in range(4):
+    p = Process(target=run_migrations, args=(db_path,))
+    processes.append(p)
+for p in processes:
+    p.start()  # Near-simultaneous
+```
+
+### 12. Lock Contention Testing
+**Q: How to test lock contention scenarios?**
+
+**Answer: Inject delays**
+```python
+# Test helper to force contention
+def slow_migration_for_testing(conn):
+    conn.execute("BEGIN IMMEDIATE")
+    time.sleep(2)  # Force other workers to wait
+    # Apply migration
+    conn.commit()
+
+# Test timeout handling
+@patch('sqlite3.connect')
+def test_lock_timeout(mock_connect):
+    mock_connect.side_effect = sqlite3.OperationalError("database is locked")
+    # Verify retry logic
+```
+
+### 13. Performance Tests
+**Q: What timing is acceptable?**
+
+**Answer: Performance targets**
+- Single worker: < 100ms for all migrations
+- 4 workers with contention: < 500ms total
+- 10 workers stress test: < 2s total
+- Lock acquisition per retry: < 50ms
+- Test with:
+  ```python
+  import timeit
+  setup_time = timeit.timeit(lambda: create_app(), number=1)
+  assert setup_time < 0.5, f"Startup too slow: {setup_time}s"
+  ```
+
+### 14. Retry Logic Unit Tests
+**Q: How to unit test retry logic?**
+
+**Answer: Mock the lock failures**
+```python
+class TestRetryLogic:
+    def test_retry_on_lock(self):
+        with patch('sqlite3.connect') as mock:
+            # First 2 attempts fail, 3rd succeeds
+            mock.side_effect = [
+                sqlite3.OperationalError("database is locked"),
+                sqlite3.OperationalError("database is locked"),
+                MagicMock()  # Success
+            ]
+            run_migrations(db_path)
+            assert mock.call_count == 3
+```
+
+---
+
+## SQLite-Specific Concerns
+
+### 15. BEGIN IMMEDIATE vs EXCLUSIVE (Detailed)
+**Q: Deep dive on lock choice?**
+
+**Answer: Lock escalation path**
+```
+BEGIN DEFERRED → SHARED → RESERVED → EXCLUSIVE
+BEGIN IMMEDIATE → RESERVED → EXCLUSIVE
+BEGIN EXCLUSIVE → EXCLUSIVE
+
+For migrations:
+- IMMEDIATE starts at RESERVED (blocks other writers immediately)
+- Escalates to EXCLUSIVE only during actual writes
+- Optimal for our use case
+```
+
+### 16. WAL Mode Interaction
+**Q: How does this work with WAL mode?**
+
+**Answer: Works correctly with both modes**
+- Journal mode: BEGIN IMMEDIATE works as described
+- WAL mode: BEGIN IMMEDIATE still prevents concurrent writers
+- No code changes needed
+- Add mode detection for logging:
+  ```python
+  cursor = conn.execute("PRAGMA journal_mode")
+  mode = cursor.fetchone()[0]
+  logger.debug(f"Database in {mode} mode")
+  ```
+
+### 17. Database File Permissions
+**Q: How to handle permission issues?**
+
+**Answer: Fail fast with helpful diagnostics**
+```python
+import os
+import stat
+
+db_path = Path(db_path)
+if not db_path.exists():
+    # Will be created - check parent dir
+    parent = db_path.parent
+    if not os.access(parent, os.W_OK):
+        raise MigrationError(f"Cannot write to directory: {parent}")
+else:
+    # Check existing file
+    if not os.access(db_path, os.W_OK):
+        stats = os.stat(db_path)
+        mode = stat.filemode(stats.st_mode)
+        raise MigrationError(
+            f"Database not writable: {db_path}\n"
+            f"Permissions: {mode}\n"
+            f"Owner: {stats.st_uid}:{stats.st_gid}"
+        )
+```
+
+---
+
+## Deployment/Operations
+
+### 18. Container Startup and Health Checks
+**Q: How to handle health checks during migration?**
+
+**Answer: Return 503 during migration**
+```python
+# In app.py
+MIGRATION_IN_PROGRESS = False
+
+def create_app():
+    global MIGRATION_IN_PROGRESS
+    MIGRATION_IN_PROGRESS = True
+    try:
+        init_db()
+    finally:
+        MIGRATION_IN_PROGRESS = False
+
+@app.route('/health')
+def health():
+    if MIGRATION_IN_PROGRESS:
+        return {'status': 'migrating'}, 503
+    return {'status': 'healthy'}, 200
+```
+
+### 19. Monitoring and Alerting
+**Q: What metrics/alerts are needed?**
+
+**Answer: Key metrics to track**
+```python
+# Add metrics collection
+metrics = {
+    'migration_duration_ms': 0,
+    'migration_retries': 0,
+    'migration_lock_wait_ms': 0,
+    'migrations_applied': 0
+}
+
+# Alert thresholds
+ALERTS = {
+    'migration_duration_ms': 5000,  # Alert if > 5s
+    'migration_retries': 5,         # Alert if > 5 retries
+    'worker_failures': 1             # Alert on any failure
+}
+
+# Log in structured format
+logger.info(json.dumps({
+    'event': 'migration_complete',
+    'metrics': metrics
+}))
+```
+
+---
+
+## Alternative Approaches
+
+### 20. Version Compatibility
+**Q: How to handle version mismatches?**
+
+**Answer: Strict version checking**
+```python
+# In migrations.py
+MIGRATION_VERSION = "1.0.0"
+
+def check_version_compatibility(conn):
+    cursor = conn.execute(
+        "SELECT value FROM app_config WHERE key = 'migration_version'"
+    )
+    row = cursor.fetchone()
+    if row and row[0] != MIGRATION_VERSION:
+        raise MigrationError(
+            f"Version mismatch: Database={row[0]}, Code={MIGRATION_VERSION}\n"
+            f"Action: Run migration tool separately"
+        )
+```
+
+### 21. File-Based Locking
+**Q: Should we consider flock() as backup?**
+
+**Answer: NO - Adds complexity without benefit**
+- SQLite locking is sufficient and portable
+- flock() not available on all systems
+- Would require additional cleanup logic
+- Database-level locking is the correct approach
+
+### 22. Gunicorn Preload
+**Q: Would --preload flag help?**
+
+**Answer: NO - Makes problem WORSE**
+- --preload runs app initialization ONCE in master
+- Workers fork from master AFTER migrations complete
+- BUT: Doesn't work with lazy-loaded resources
+- Current architecture expects per-worker initialization
+- Keep current approach
+
+### 23. Application-Level Locks
+**Q: Should we add Redis/memcached for coordination?**
+
+**Answer: NO - Violates simplicity principle**
+- Adds external dependency
+- More complex deployment
+- SQLite locking is sufficient
+- Would require Redis/memcached to be running before app starts
+- Solving a solved problem
+

+# Phase 1 Completion Guide: Test Cleanup and Commit
+
+## Architectural Decision Summary
+
+After reviewing your Phase 1 implementation, I've made the following architectural decisions:
+
+### 1. Implementation Assessment: ✅ EXCELLENT
+Your Phase 1 implementation is correct and complete. You've successfully:
+- Removed the authorization endpoint cleanly
+- Preserved admin functionality
+- Documented everything properly
+- Identified all test impacts
+
+### 2. Test Strategy: DELETE ALL 30 FAILING TESTS NOW
+**Rationale**: These tests are testing removed functionality. Keeping them provides no value and creates confusion.
+
+### 3. Phase Strategy: ACCELERATE WITH COMBINED PHASES
+After completing Phase 1, combine Phases 2+3 for faster delivery.
+
+## Immediate Actions Required (30 minutes)
+
+### Step 1: Analyze Failing Tests (5 minutes)
+
+First, let's identify exactly which tests to remove:
+
+```bash
+# Get a clean list of failing test locations
+uv run pytest --tb=no -q 2>&1 | grep "FAILED" | cut -d':' -f1-3 | sort -u
+```
+
+### Step 2: Remove OAuth Metadata Tests (5 minutes)
+
+Edit `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/tests/test_routes_public.py`:
+
+**Delete these entire test classes**:
+- `TestOAuthMetadataEndpoint` (all 10 tests)
+- `TestIndieAuthMetadataLink` (all 3 tests)
+
+These tested the `/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server` endpoint which no longer exists.
+
+### Step 3: Handle State Token Tests (10 minutes)
+
+Edit `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/tests/test_auth.py`:
+
+**Critical**: Some state token tests might be for admin login. Check each one:
+
+```python
+# If test references authorization flow -> DELETE
+# If test references admin login -> KEEP AND FIX
+```
+
+Tests to review:
+- `test_verify_valid_state_token` - Check if this is admin login
+- `test_verify_invalid_state_token` - Check if this is admin login
+- `test_verify_expired_state_token` - Check if this is admin login
+- `test_state_tokens_are_single_use` - Check if this is admin login
+- `test_initiate_login_success` - Likely admin login, may need fixing
+- `test_handle_callback_*` - Check each for admin vs authorization
+
+**Decision Logic**:
+- If the test is validating state tokens for admin login via IndieLogin.com -> FIX IT
+- If the test is validating state tokens for Micropub authorization -> DELETE IT
+
+### Step 4: Fix Migration Tests (5 minutes)
+
+Edit `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/tests/test_migrations.py`:
+
+For these two tests:
+- `test_is_schema_current_with_code_verifier`
+- `test_run_migrations_fresh_database`
+
+**Action**: Remove any assertions about `code_verifier` or `code_challenge` columns. These PKCE fields are gone.
+
+### Step 5: Remove Client Discovery Tests (2 minutes)
+
+Edit `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/tests/test_templates.py`:
+
+**Delete the entire class**: `TestIndieAuthClientDiscovery`
+
+This tested h-app microformats for Micropub client discovery, which is no longer relevant.
+
+### Step 6: Fix Dev Auth Test (3 minutes)
+
+Edit `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/tests/test_routes_dev_auth.py`:
+
+The test `test_dev_mode_requires_dev_admin_me` is failing. Investigate why and fix or remove based on current functionality.
+
+## Verification Commands
+
+After making changes:
+
+```bash
+# Run tests to verify all pass
+uv run pytest
+
+# Expected output:
+# =============== XXX passed in X.XXs ===============
+# (No failures!)
+
+# Count remaining tests
+uv run pytest --co -q | wc -l
+
+# Should be around 539 tests (down from 569)
+```
+
+## Git Commit Strategy
+
+### Commit 1: Test Cleanup
+```bash
+git add tests/
+git commit -m "test: Remove tests for deleted IndieAuth authorization functionality
+
+- Remove OAuth metadata endpoint tests (13 tests)
+- Remove authorization-specific state token tests
+- Remove authorization callback tests
+- Remove h-app client discovery tests (5 tests)
+- Update migration tests to match current schema
+
+All removed tests validated functionality that was intentionally
+deleted in Phase 1 of the IndieAuth removal plan.
+
+Test suite now: 100% passing"
+```
+
+### Commit 2: Phase 1 Implementation
+```bash
+git add .
+git commit -m "feat!: Phase 1 - Remove IndieAuth authorization server
+
+BREAKING CHANGE: Removed built-in IndieAuth authorization endpoint
+
+Removed:
+- /auth/authorization endpoint and handler
+- Authorization consent UI template
+- Authorization-related imports and functions
+- PKCE implementation tests
+
+Preserved:
+- Admin login via IndieLogin.com
+- Session management
+- Token endpoint (for Phase 2 removal)
+
+This completes Phase 1 of 5 in the IndieAuth removal plan.
+Version: 1.0.0-rc.4
+
+Refs: ADR-050, ADR-051
+Docs: docs/architecture/indieauth-removal-phases.md
+Report: docs/reports/2025-11-24-phase1-indieauth-server-removal.md"
+```
+
+### Commit 3: Architecture Documentation
+```bash
+git add docs/
+git commit -m "docs: Add architecture decisions and reports for Phase 1
+
+- ADR-051: Test strategy and implementation review
+- Phase 1 completion guide
+- Implementation reports
+
+These document the architectural decisions made during
+Phase 1 implementation and provide guidance for remaining phases."
+```
+
+## Decision Points During Cleanup
+
+### For State Token Tests
+Ask yourself:
+1. Does this test verify state tokens for `/auth/callback` (admin login)?
+   - **YES** → Fix the test to work with current code
+   - **NO** → Delete it
+
+2. Does the test reference authorization codes or Micropub clients?
+   - **YES** → Delete it
+   - **NO** → Keep and fix
+
+### For Callback Tests
+Ask yourself:
+1. Is this testing the IndieLogin.com callback for admin?
+   - **YES** → Fix it
+   - **NO** → Delete it
+
+2. Does it reference authorization approval/denial?
+   - **YES** → Delete it
+   - **NO** → Keep and fix
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+You'll know Phase 1 is complete when:
+
+1. ✅ All tests pass (100% green)
+2. ✅ No references to authorization endpoint in tests
+3. ✅ Admin login tests still present and passing
+4. ✅ Clean git commits with clear messages
+5. ✅ Documentation updated
+
+## Next Steps: Combined Phase 2+3
+
+After committing Phase 1, immediately proceed with:
+
+1. **Phase 2+3 Combined** (2 hours):
+   - Remove `/auth/token` endpoint
+   - Delete `starpunk/tokens.py` entirely
+   - Create database migration to drop tables
+   - Remove all token-related tests
+   - Version: 1.0.0-rc.5
+
+2. **Phase 4** (2 hours):
+   - Implement external token verification
+   - Add caching layer
+   - Update Micropub to use external verification
+   - Version: 1.0.0-rc.6
+
+3. **Phase 5** (1 hour):
+   - Add discovery links
+   - Update all documentation
+   - Final version: 1.0.0
+
+## Architecture Principles Maintained
+
+Throughout this cleanup:
+- **Simplicity First**: Remove complexity, don't reorganize it
+- **Clean States**: No partially-broken states
+- **Clear Intent**: Deleted code is better than commented code
+- **Test Confidence**: Green tests or no tests, never red tests
+
+## Questions?
+
+If you encounter any test that you're unsure about:
+1. Check if it tests admin functionality (keep/fix)
+2. Check if it tests authorization functionality (delete)
+3. When in doubt, trace the code path it's testing
+
+Remember: We're removing an entire subsystem. It's better to be thorough than cautious.

+- No data corruption risk
+
+#### Endpoint Discovery
+- **HTTPS enforcement**: Required in production
+- **Token security**: SHA-256 hashing for cache keys
+- **URL validation**: Prevents injection attacks
+- **Single-user validation**: Ensures token belongs to ADMIN_ME
+- **Fail-closed principle**: Denies access on security errors
+- **No token logging**: Tokens never appear in plaintext logs
+
+### Verdict: **APPROVED**
+
+---
+
+## 6. Performance Analysis
+
+### Performance Impact: ACCEPTABLE
+
+#### Migration Race Condition
+- Minimal overhead for lock acquisition
+- Only impacts startup, not runtime

+
+### Security Benefits of Simplified Architecture
+
+1. **Reduced Attack Surface**
+   - No token generation = no cryptographic mistakes
+   - No token storage = no database leaks
+   - No PKCE = no implementation errors
+
+2. **Specialized Security**
+   - Auth providers focus solely on security
+   - Regular updates from specialized teams
+   - Community-vetted implementations
+
+3. **Clear Boundaries**
+   - StarPunk only verifies, never issues
+   - Single source of truth (external provider)
+   - No confused deputy problems
+
+## Performance Characteristics
+
+### Token Verification Performance
+```
+Without Cache:
+┌──────────┐     200-500ms      ┌─────────────┐
+│ Micropub ├───────────────────→│Token Endpoint│
+└──────────┘                     └─────────────┘
+
+With Cache (95% hit rate):
+┌──────────┐       <1ms          ┌─────────────┐
+│ Micropub ├───────────────────→│ Memory Cache │
+└──────────┘                     └─────────────┘
+```
+
+### Cache Strategy
+```python
+Cache Key: SHA256(token)
+Cache Value: {
+    'me': 'https://user.com',
+    'client_id': 'https://client.com',
+    'scope': 'create update delete',
+    'expires_at': timestamp + 300  # 5 minutes
+}
+```
+
+### Expected Latencies
+- First request: 200-500ms (external API)
+- Cached request: <1ms
+- Admin login: 1-2s (OAuth flow)
+- Post creation: <50ms (after auth)
+
+## Migration Impact
+
+### Breaking Changes
+1. **All existing tokens invalid**
+   - Users must re-authenticate
+   - No migration path for tokens
+
+2. **Endpoint removal**
+   - `/auth/authorization` → 404
+   - `/auth/token` → 404
+
+3. **Configuration required**
+   - Must set `ADMIN_ME`
+   - Must configure domain with IndieAuth links
+
+### Non-Breaking Preserved Functionality
+1. **Admin login unchanged**
+   - Same URL (`/admin/login`)
+   - Same provider (IndieLogin.com)
+   - Sessions preserved
+
+2. **Micropub API unchanged**
+   - Same endpoint (`/micropub`)
+   - Same request format
+   - Same response format
+
+## Comparison with Other Systems
+
+### WordPress + IndieAuth Plugin
+- **Similarity**: External provider for auth
+- **Difference**: WP has user management, we don't
+
+### Known IndieWeb Sites
+- **micro.blog**: Custom auth server (complex)
+- **Indigenous**: Client only, uses external auth
+- **StarPunk**: Micropub server only (simple)
+
+### Architecture Philosophy
+```
+"Do one thing well"
+       │
+       ├── StarPunk: Publish notes
+       ├── IndieAuth.com: Authenticate users
+       └── Tokens.indieauth.com: Manage tokens
+```
+
+## Future Considerations
+
+### Potential V2 Enhancements (NOT for V1)
+1. **Multi-user support**
+   - Would require user management
+   - Still use external auth
+
+2. **Multiple token endpoints**
+   - Support different providers per user
+   - Endpoint discovery from user domain
+
+3. **Token caching layer**
+   - Redis for distributed caching
+   - Longer TTL with refresh
+
+### Explicitly NOT Implementing
+1. **Custom authorization server**
+   - Violates simplicity principle
+   - Maintenance burden
+
+2. **Password authentication**
+   - Not IndieWeb compliant
+   - Security burden
+
+3. **JWT validation**
+   - Not part of IndieAuth spec
+   - Unnecessary complexity
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Unit Tests
+```python
+# Test external verification
+@patch('httpx.get')
+def test_token_verification(mock_get):
+    # Mock successful response
+    mock_get.return_value.status_code = 200
+    mock_get.return_value.json.return_value = {
+        'me': 'https://example.com',
+        'scope': 'create'
+    }
+
+    result = verify_token('test-token')
+    assert result is not None
+```
+
+### Integration Tests
+```python
+# Test with real endpoint (in CI)
+def test_real_token_verification():
+    # Use test token from tokens.indieauth.com
+    token = get_test_token()
+    result = verify_token(token)
+    assert result['me'] == TEST_USER
+```
+
+### Manual Testing
+1. Configure domain with IndieAuth links
+2. Use Quill or Indigenous
+3. Create test post
+4. Verify token caching
+
+## Metrics for Success
+
+### Quantitative Metrics
+- **Code removed**: >500 lines
+- **Database tables removed**: 2
+- **Complexity reduction**: ~40%
+- **Test coverage maintained**: >90%
+- **Performance**: <500ms token verification
+
+### Qualitative Metrics
+- **Clarity**: Clear separation of concerns
+- **Maintainability**: No auth code to maintain
+- **Security**: Specialized providers
+- **Flexibility**: User choice of providers
+- **Simplicity**: Focus on core functionality

+# Syndication Architecture
+
+## Overview
+StarPunk's syndication architecture provides multiple feed formats for content distribution, ensuring broad compatibility with feed readers and IndieWeb tools while maintaining simplicity.
+
+## Current State (v1.1.0)
+```
+┌─────────────┐
+│   Database  │
+│   (Notes)   │
+└──────┬──────┘
+       │
+┌──────▼──────┐
+│  feed.py    │
+│  (RSS 2.0)  │
+└──────┬──────┘
+       │
+┌──────▼──────┐
+│ /feed.xml   │
+│  endpoint   │
+└─────────────┘
+```
+
+## Target Architecture (v1.1.2+)
+```
+┌─────────────┐
+│   Database  │
+│   (Notes)   │
+└──────┬──────┘
+       │
+┌──────▼──────────────────┐
+│   Feed Generation Layer  │
+├──────────┬───────────────┤
+│  feed.py │  json_feed.py │
+│  RSS/ATOM│     JSON      │
+└──────────┴───────────────┘
+       │
+┌──────▼──────────────────┐
+│      Feed Endpoints     │
+├─────────┬───────────────┤
+│/feed.xml│  /feed.atom   │
+│  (RSS)  │    (ATOM)     │
+├─────────┼───────────────┤
+│     /feed.json          │
+│    (JSON Feed)          │
+└─────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+## Design Principles
+
+### 1. Format Independence
+Each syndication format operates independently:
+- No shared state between formats
+- Failures in one don't affect others
+- Can be enabled/disabled individually
+
+### 2. Shared Data Access
+All formats read from the same data source:
+- Single query pattern for notes
+- Consistent ordering (newest first)
+- Same publication status filtering
+
+### 3. Library Leverage
+Maximize use of existing libraries:
+- `feedgen` for RSS and ATOM
+- Native Python `json` for JSON Feed
+- No custom XML generation
+
+## Component Design
+
+### Feed Generation Module (`feed.py`)
+**Current Responsibility**: RSS 2.0 generation
+**Future Enhancement**: Add ATOM generation function
+
+```python
+# Pseudocode structure
+def generate_rss_feed(notes, config) -> str
+def generate_atom_feed(notes, config) -> str  # New
+```
+
+### JSON Feed Module (`json_feed.py`)
+**New Component**: Dedicated JSON Feed generation
+
+```python
+# Pseudocode structure
+def generate_json_feed(notes, config) -> str
+def format_json_item(note) -> dict
+```
+
+### Route Handlers
+Simple pass-through to generation functions:
+```python
+@app.route('/feed.xml')  # Existing
+@app.route('/feed.atom') # New
+@app.route('/feed.json') # New
+```
+
+## Data Flow
+
+1. **Request**: Client requests feed at endpoint
+2. **Query**: Fetch published notes from database
+3. **Transform**: Convert notes to format-specific structure
+4. **Serialize**: Generate final output (XML/JSON)
+5. **Response**: Return with appropriate Content-Type
+
+## Microformats2 Architecture
+
+### Template Layer Enhancement
+Microformats2 operates at the HTML template layer:
+
+```
+┌──────────────┐
+│  Data Model  │
+│   (Notes)    │
+└──────┬───────┘
+       │
+┌──────▼───────┐
+│  Templates   │
+│  + mf2 markup│
+└──────┬───────┘
+       │
+┌──────▼───────┐
+│  HTML Output │
+│  (Semantic)  │
+└──────────────┘
+```
+
+### Markup Strategy
+- **Progressive Enhancement**: Add classes without changing structure
+- **CSS Independence**: Use mf2-specific classes, not styling classes
+- **Validation First**: Test with parsers during development
+
+## Configuration Requirements
+
+### New Configuration Variables
+```ini
+# Author information for h-card
+AUTHOR_NAME = "Site Author"
+AUTHOR_URL = "https://example.com"
+AUTHOR_PHOTO = "/static/avatar.jpg"  # Optional
+
+# Feed settings
+FEED_LIMIT = 50
+FEED_FORMATS = "rss,atom,json"  # Comma-separated
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Caching Strategy
+- Feed generation is read-heavy, write-light
+- Consider caching generated feeds (5-minute TTL)
+- Invalidate cache on note creation/update
+
+### Resource Usage
+- RSS/ATOM: ~O(n) memory for n notes
+- JSON Feed: Similar memory profile
+- Microformats2: No additional server resources
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Content Sanitization
+- HTML in feeds must be properly escaped
+- CDATA wrapping for RSS/ATOM
+- JSON string encoding for JSON Feed
+- No script injection vectors
+
+### Rate Limiting
+- Apply same limits as HTML endpoints
+- Consider aggressive caching for feeds
+- Monitor for feed polling abuse
+
+## Testing Architecture
+
+### Unit Tests
+```
+tests/
+├── test_feed.py          # Enhanced for ATOM
+├── test_json_feed.py     # New test module
+└── test_microformats.py  # Template parsing tests
+```
+
+### Integration Tests
+- Validate against external validators
+- Test feed reader compatibility
+- Verify IndieWeb tool parsing
+
+## Backwards Compatibility
+
+### URL Structure
+- `/feed.xml` remains RSS 2.0 (no breaking change)
+- New endpoints are additive only
+- Auto-discovery links updated in templates
+
+### Database
+- No schema changes required
+- All features use existing Note model
+- No migration needed
+
+## Future Extensibility
+
+### Potential Enhancements
+1. Content negotiation on `/feed`
+2. WebSub (PubSubHubbub) support
+3. Custom feed filtering (by tag, date)
+4. Feed pagination for large sites
+
+### Format Support Matrix
+| Format | v1.1.0 | v1.1.2 | v1.2.0 |
+|--------|--------|--------|--------|
+| RSS 2.0 | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
+| ATOM | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ |
+| JSON Feed | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ |
+| Microformats2 | Partial | Partial | ✅ |
+
+## Decision Rationale
+
+### Why Multiple Formats?
+1. **No Universal Standard**: Different ecosystems prefer different formats
+2. **Low Maintenance**: Feed formats are stable, rarely change
+3. **User Choice**: Let users pick their preferred format
+4. **IndieWeb Philosophy**: Embrace plurality and interoperability
+
+### Why This Architecture?
+1. **Simplicity**: Each component has single responsibility
+2. **Testability**: Isolated components are easier to test
+3. **Maintainability**: Changes to one format don't affect others
+4. **Performance**: Can optimize each format independently

+## Component Architecture
+
+### 1. Migration System Redesign
+
+#### Current Problem
+```
+[Fresh Install]          [Upgrade Path]
+      │                        │
+      ▼                        ▼
+  SCHEMA_SQL            Migration Files
+  (full schema)         (partial schema)
+      │                        │
+      └────────┬───────────────┘
+               ▼
+          DUPLICATION!
+```
+
+#### New Architecture
+```
+[Fresh Install]          [Upgrade Path]
+      │                        │
+      ▼                        ▼
+INITIAL_SCHEMA_SQL ──────► Migrations
+   (v1.0.0 only)         (changes only)
+      │                        │
+      └────────┬───────────────┘
+               ▼
+         Single Source
+```
+
+#### Key Components
+- **INITIAL_SCHEMA_SQL**: Frozen v1.0.0 schema
+- **Migration Files**: Only incremental changes
+- **Migration Runner**: Handles both paths intelligently
+
+### 2. Full-Text Search Architecture
+
+#### Data Flow
+```
+1. User Query
+      │
+      ▼
+2. Query Parser
+      │
+      ▼
+3. FTS5 Engine ───► SQLite Query Planner
+      │                      │
+      ▼                      ▼
+4. BM25 Ranking         Index Lookup
+      │                      │
+      └──────────┬───────────┘
+                 ▼
+5. Results + Snippets
+```
+
+#### Database Schema
+```sql
+notes (main table)          notes_fts (virtual table)
+┌──────────────┐            ┌──────────────────┐
+│ id (PK)      │◄───────────┤ rowid (FK)       │
+│ slug         │            │ slug (UNINDEXED) │
+│ content      │───trigger──► title            │
+│ published    │            │ content          │
+└──────────────┘            └──────────────────┘
+```
+
+#### Synchronization Strategy
+- **INSERT Trigger**: Automatically indexes new notes
+- **UPDATE Trigger**: Re-indexes modified notes
+- **DELETE Trigger**: Removes deleted notes from index
+- **Initial Build**: One-time indexing of existing notes
+
+### 3. Custom Slugs Architecture
+
+#### Request Flow
+```
+Micropub Request
+      │
+      ▼
+Extract mp-slug ──► No mp-slug ──► Auto-generate
+      │                              │
+      ▼                              │
+Validate Format                      │
+      │                              │
+      ▼                              │
+Check Uniqueness                     │
+      │                              │
+      ├─► Unique ────────────────────┤
+      │                              │
+      └─► Duplicate                  │
+            │                        │
+            ▼                        ▼
+      Add suffix               Create Note
+      (my-slug-2)
+```
+
+#### Validation Pipeline
+```
+Input: "My/Cool/../Post!"
+      │
+      ▼
+1. Lowercase: "my/cool/../post!"
+      │
+      ▼
+2. Remove Invalid: "my/cool/post"
+      │
+      ▼
+3. Security Check: Reject "../"
+      │
+      ▼
+4. Pattern Match: ^[a-z0-9-/]+$
+      │
+      ▼
+5. Reserved Check: Not in blocklist
+      │
+      ▼
+Output: "my-cool-post"
+```
+
+## Data Models
+
+### Migration Record
+```python
+class Migration:
+    version: str        # "001", "002", etc.
+    description: str    # Human-readable
+    applied_at: datetime
+    checksum: str       # Verify integrity
+```
+
+### Search Result
+```python
+class SearchResult:
+    slug: str
+    title: str
+    snippet: str        # With <mark> highlights
+    rank: float         # BM25 score
+    published: bool
+    created_at: datetime
+```
+
+### Slug Validation
+```python
+class SlugValidator:
+    pattern: regex = r'^[a-z0-9-/]+$'
+    max_length: int = 200
+    reserved: set = {'api', 'admin', 'auth', 'feed'}
+
+    def validate(slug: str) -> bool
+    def sanitize(slug: str) -> str
+    def ensure_unique(slug: str) -> str
+```
+
+## Interface Specifications
+
+### Search API Contract
+```yaml
+endpoint: GET /api/search
+parameters:
+  q: string (required) - Search query
+  limit: int (optional, default: 20, max: 100)
+  offset: int (optional, default: 0)
+  published_only: bool (optional, default: true)
+
+response:
+  200 OK:
+    content-type: application/json
+    schema:
+      query: string
+      total: integer
+      results: array[SearchResult]
+
+  400 Bad Request:
+    error: "invalid_query"
+    description: string
+```
+
+### Micropub Slug Extension
+```yaml
+property: mp-slug
+type: string
+required: false
+validation:
+  - URL-safe characters only
+  - Maximum 200 characters
+  - Not in reserved list
+  - Unique (or auto-incremented)
+
+example:
+  properties:
+    content: ["My post"]
+    mp-slug: ["my-custom-url"]
+```
+
+## Performance Characteristics
+
+### Migration System
+- Fresh install: ~100ms (schema + migrations)
+- Upgrade: ~50ms per migration
+- Rollback: Not supported (forward-only)
+
+### Full-Text Search
+- Index build: 1ms per note
+- Query latency: <10ms for 10K notes
+- Index size: ~30% of text
+- Memory usage: Negligible (SQLite managed)
+
+### Custom Slugs
+- Validation: <1ms
+- Uniqueness check: <5ms
+- Conflict resolution: <10ms
+- No performance impact on existing flows
+
+## Security Architecture
+
+### Search Security
+1. **Input Sanitization**: FTS5 handles SQL injection
+2. **Output Escaping**: HTML escaped in snippets
+3. **Rate Limiting**: 100 requests/minute per IP
+4. **Access Control**: Unpublished notes require auth
+
+### Slug Security
+1. **Path Traversal Prevention**: Reject `..` patterns
+2. **Reserved Routes**: Block system endpoints
+3. **Length Limits**: Prevent DoS via long slugs
+4. **Character Whitelist**: Only allow safe chars
+
+### Migration Security
+1. **Checksum Verification**: Detect tampering
+2. **Transaction Safety**: All-or-nothing execution
+3. **No User Input**: Migrations are code-only
+4. **Audit Trail**: Track all applied migrations
+
+## Deployment Considerations
+
+### Database Upgrade Path
+```bash
+# v1.0.x → v1.1.0
+1. Backup database
+2. Apply migration 002 (FTS5 tables)
+3. Build initial search index
+4. Verify functionality
+5. Remove backup after confirmation
+```
+
+### Rollback Strategy
+```bash
+# Emergency rollback (data preserved)
+1. Stop application
+2. Restore v1.0.x code
+3. Database remains compatible
+4. FTS tables ignored by old code
+5. Custom slugs work as regular slugs
+```
+
+### Container Deployment
+```dockerfile
+# No changes to container required
+# SQLite FTS5 included by default
+# No new dependencies added
+```
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Unit Test Coverage
+- Migration path logic: 100%
+- Slug validation: 100%
+- Search query parsing: 100%
+- Trigger behavior: 100%
+
+### Integration Test Scenarios
+1. Fresh installation flow
+2. Upgrade from each version
+3. Search with special characters
+4. Micropub with various slugs
+5. Concurrent note operations
+
+### Performance Benchmarks
+- 1,000 notes: <5ms search
+- 10,000 notes: <10ms search
+- 100,000 notes: <50ms search
+- Index size: Confirm ~30% ratio
+
+## Monitoring & Observability
+
+### Key Metrics
+1. Search query latency (p50, p95, p99)
+2. Index size growth rate
+3. Slug conflict frequency
+4. Migration execution time
+
+### Log Events
+```python
+# Search
+INFO: "Search query: {query}, results: {count}, latency: {ms}"
+
+# Slugs
+WARN: "Slug conflict resolved: {original} → {final}"
+
+# Migrations
+INFO: "Migration {version} applied in {ms}ms"
+ERROR: "Migration {version} failed: {error}"
+```
+
+## Future Considerations
+
+### Potential Enhancements
+1. **Search Filters**: by date, author, tags
+2. **Hierarchical Slugs**: `/2024/11/25/post`
+3. **Migration Rollback**: Bi-directional migrations
+4. **Search Suggestions**: Auto-complete support
+
+### Scaling Considerations
+1. **Search Index Sharding**: If >1M notes
+2. **External Search**: Meilisearch for multi-user
+3. **Slug Namespaces**: Per-user slug spaces
+4. **Migration Parallelization**: For large datasets
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The v1.1.0 architecture maintains StarPunk's commitment to minimalism while adding essential features. Each component:
+- Solves a specific user need
+- Uses standard, proven technologies
+- Avoids external dependencies
+- Maintains backward compatibility
+- Follows the principle: "Every line of code must justify its existence"
+
+The architecture is designed to be understood, maintained, and extended by a single developer, staying true to the IndieWeb philosophy of personal publishing platforms.

+# V1.1.0 Implementation Decisions - Architectural Guidance
+
+## Overview
+This document provides definitive architectural decisions for all 29 questions raised during v1.1.0 implementation planning. Each decision is final and actionable.
+
+---
+
+## RSS Feed Fix Decisions
+
+### Q1: No Bug Exists - Action Required?
+**Decision**: Add a regression test and close as "working as intended"
+
+**Rationale**: Since the RSS feed is already correctly ordered (newest first), we should document this as the intended behavior and prevent future regressions.
+
+**Implementation**:
+1. Add test case: `test_feed_order_newest_first()` in `tests/test_feed.py`
+2. Add comment above line 96 in `feed.py`: `# Notes are already DESC ordered from database`
+3. Close the issue with note: "Verified feed order is correct (newest first)"
+
+### Q2: Line 96 Loop - Keep As-Is?
+**Decision**: Keep the current implementation unchanged
+
+**Rationale**: The `for note in notes[:limit]:` loop is correct because notes are already sorted DESC by created_at from the database query.
+
+**Implementation**: No code change needed. Add clarifying comment if not already present.
+
+---
+
+## Migration System Redesign (ADR-033)
+
+### Q3: INITIAL_SCHEMA_SQL Storage Location
+**Decision**: Store in `starpunk/database.py` as a module-level constant
+
+**Rationale**: Keeps schema definitions close to database initialization code.
+
+**Implementation**:
+```python
+# In starpunk/database.py, after imports:
+INITIAL_SCHEMA_SQL = """
+-- V1.0.0 Schema - DO NOT MODIFY
+-- All changes must go in migration files
+[... original schema from v1.0.0 ...]
+"""
+```
+
+### Q4: Existing SCHEMA_SQL Variable
+**Decision**: Keep both with clear naming
+
+**Implementation**:
+1. Rename current `SCHEMA_SQL` to `INITIAL_SCHEMA_SQL`
+2. Add new variable `CURRENT_SCHEMA_SQL` that will be built from initial + migrations
+3. Document the purpose of each in comments
+
+### Q5: Modify init_db() Detection
+**Decision**: Yes, modify `init_db()` to detect fresh install
+
+**Implementation**:
+```python
+def init_db(app=None):
+    """Initialize database with proper schema"""
+    conn = get_db_connection()
+
+    # Check if this is a fresh install
+    cursor = conn.execute("SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE type='table' AND name='migrations'")
+    is_fresh = cursor.fetchone() is None
+
+    if is_fresh:
+        # Fresh install: use initial schema
+        conn.executescript(INITIAL_SCHEMA_SQL)
+        conn.execute("INSERT INTO migrations (version, applied_at) VALUES ('initial', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)")
+
+    # Apply any pending migrations
+    apply_pending_migrations(conn)
+```
+
+### Q6: Users Upgrading from v1.0.1
+**Decision**: Automatic migration on application start
+
+**Rationale**: Zero-downtime upgrade with automatic schema updates.
+
+**Implementation**:
+1. Application detects current version via migrations table
+2. Applies only new migrations (005+)
+3. No manual intervention required
+4. Add startup log: "Database migrated to v1.1.0"
+
+### Q7: Existing Migrations 001-004
+**Decision**: Leave existing migrations unchanged
+
+**Rationale**: These are historical records and changing them would break existing deployments.
+
+**Implementation**: Do not modify files. They remain for upgrade path from older versions.
+
+### Q8: Testing Both Paths
+**Decision**: Create two separate test scenarios
+
+**Implementation**:
+```python
+# tests/test_migrations.py
+def test_fresh_install():
+    """Test database creation from scratch"""
+    # Start with no database
+    # Run init_db()
+    # Verify all tables exist with correct schema
+
+def test_upgrade_from_v1_0_1():
+    """Test upgrade path"""
+    # Create database with v1.0.1 schema
+    # Add sample data
+    # Run init_db()
+    # Verify migrations applied
+    # Verify data preserved
+```
+
+---
+
+## Full-Text Search (ADR-034)
+
+### Q9: Title Source
+**Decision**: Extract title from first line of markdown content
+
+**Rationale**: Notes table doesn't have a title column. Follow existing pattern where title is derived from content.
+
+**Implementation**:
+```sql
+-- Use SQL to extract first line as title
+substr(content, 1, instr(content || char(10), char(10)) - 1) as title
+```
+
+### Q10: Trigger Implementation
+**Decision**: Use SQL expression to extract title, not a custom function
+
+**Rationale**: Simpler, no UDF required, portable across SQLite versions.
+
+**Implementation**:
+```sql
+CREATE TRIGGER notes_fts_insert AFTER INSERT ON notes
+BEGIN
+    INSERT INTO notes_fts (rowid, slug, title, content)
+    SELECT
+        NEW.id,
+        NEW.slug,
+        substr(content, 1, min(60, ifnull(nullif(instr(content, char(10)), 0) - 1, length(content)))),
+        content
+    FROM note_files WHERE file_path = NEW.file_path;
+END;
+```
+
+### Q11: Migration 005 Scope
+**Decision**: Yes, create everything in one migration
+
+**Rationale**: Atomic operation ensures consistency.
+
+**Implementation in `migrations/005_add_full_text_search.sql`:
+1. Create FTS5 virtual table
+2. Create all three triggers (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE)
+3. Build initial index from existing notes
+4. All in single transaction
+
+### Q12: Search Endpoint URL
+**Decision**: `/api/search`
+
+**Rationale**: Consistent with existing API pattern, RESTful design.
+
+**Implementation**: Register route in `app.py` or API blueprint.
+
+### Q13: Template Files Needing Modification
+**Decision**: Modify `base.html` for search box, create new `search.html` for results
+
+**Implementation**:
+- `templates/base.html`: Add search form in navigation
+- `templates/search.html`: New template for search results page
+- `templates/partials/search-result.html`: Result item component
+
+### Q14: Search Filtering by Authentication
+**Decision**: Yes, filter by published status
+
+**Implementation**:
+```python
+if not is_authenticated():
+    query += " AND published = 1"
+```
+
+### Q15: FTS5 Unavailable Handling
+**Decision**: Disable search gracefully with warning
+
+**Rationale**: Better UX than failing to start.
+
+**Implementation**:
+```python
+def check_fts5_support():
+    try:
+        conn.execute("CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE test_fts USING fts5(content)")
+        conn.execute("DROP TABLE test_fts")
+        return True
+    except sqlite3.OperationalError:
+        app.logger.warning("FTS5 not available - search disabled")
+        return False
+```
+
+---
+
+## Custom Slugs (ADR-035)
+
+### Q16: mp-slug Extraction Location
+**Decision**: In `handle_create()` function after properties normalization
+
+**Implementation**:
+```python
+def handle_create(request: Request) -> dict:
+    properties = normalize_properties(request)
+
+    # Extract custom slug if provided
+    custom_slug = properties.get('mp-slug', [None])[0]
+
+    # Continue with note creation...
+```
+
+### Q17: Slug Validation Functions Location
+**Decision**: Create new module `starpunk/slug_utils.py`
+
+**Rationale**: Slug handling is complex enough to warrant its own module.
+
+**Implementation**: New file with functions: `validate_slug()`, `sanitize_slug()`, `ensure_unique_slug()`
+
+### Q18: RESERVED_SLUGS Storage
+**Decision**: Module constant in `slug_utils.py`
+
+**Implementation**:
+```python
+# starpunk/slug_utils.py
+RESERVED_SLUGS = frozenset([
+    'api', 'admin', 'auth', 'feed', 'static',
+    'login', 'logout', 'settings', 'micropub'
+])
+```
+
+### Q19: Conflict Resolution Strategy
+**Decision**: Use sequential numbers (-2, -3, etc.)
+
+**Rationale**: Predictable, easier to debug, standard practice.
+
+**Implementation**:
+```python
+def make_unique_slug(base_slug: str, max_attempts: int = 99) -> str:
+    for i in range(2, max_attempts + 2):
+        candidate = f"{base_slug}-{i}"
+        if not slug_exists(candidate):
+            return candidate
+    raise ValueError(f"Could not create unique slug after {max_attempts} attempts")
+```
+
+### Q20: Hierarchical Slugs Support
+**Decision**: No, defer to v1.2.0
+
+**Rationale**: Adds routing complexity, not essential for v1.1.0.
+
+**Implementation**: Validate slugs don't contain `/`. Add to roadmap for v1.2.0.
+
+### Q21: Existing Slug Field Sufficient?
+**Decision**: Yes, current schema is sufficient
+
+**Rationale**: `slug TEXT UNIQUE NOT NULL` already enforces uniqueness.
+
+**Implementation**: No migration needed.
+
+### Q22: Micropub Error Format
+**Decision**: Follow Micropub spec exactly
+
+**Implementation**:
+```python
+return jsonify({
+    "error": "invalid_request",
+    "error_description": f"Invalid slug format: {reason}"
+}), 400
+```
+
+---
+
+## General Implementation Decisions
+
+### Q23: Implementation Sequence
+**Decision**: Follow sequence but document design for all components first
+
+**Rationale**: Design clarity prevents rework.
+
+**Implementation**:
+1. Day 1: Document all component designs
+2. Days 2-4: Implement in sequence
+3. Day 5: Integration testing
+
+### Q24: Branching Strategy
+**Decision**: Single feature branch: `feature/v1.1.0`
+
+**Rationale**: Components are interdependent, easier to test together.
+
+**Implementation**:
+```bash
+git checkout -b feature/v1.1.0
+# All work happens here
+# PR to main when complete
+```
+
+### Q25: Test Writing Strategy
+**Decision**: Write tests immediately after each component
+
+**Rationale**: Ensures each component works before moving on.
+
+**Implementation**:
+1. Implement feature
+2. Write tests
+3. Verify tests pass
+4. Move to next component
+
+### Q26: Version Bump Timing
+**Decision**: Bump version in final commit before merge
+
+**Rationale**: Version represents released code, not development code.
+
+**Implementation**:
+1. Complete all features
+2. Update `__version__` to "1.1.0"
+3. Update CHANGELOG.md
+4. Commit: "chore: bump version to 1.1.0"
+
+### Q27: New Migration Numbering
+**Decision**: Continue sequential: 005, 006, etc.
+
+**Implementation**:
+- `005_add_full_text_search.sql`
+- `006_add_custom_slug_support.sql` (if needed)
+
+### Q28: Progress Documentation
+**Decision**: Daily updates in `/docs/reports/v1.1.0-progress.md`
+
+**Implementation**:
+```markdown
+# V1.1.0 Implementation Progress
+
+## Day 1 - [Date]
+### Completed
+- [ ] Task 1
+- [ ] Task 2
+
+### Blockers
+- None
+
+### Notes
+- Implementation detail...
+```
+
+### Q29: Backwards Compatibility Verification
+**Decision**: Test suite with v1.0.1 data
+
+**Implementation**:
+1. Create test database with v1.0.1 schema
+2. Add sample data
+3. Run upgrade
+4. Verify all existing features work
+5. Verify API compatibility
+
+---
+
+## Developer Observations - Responses
+
+### Migration System Complexity
+**Response**: Allocate extra 2 hours. Better to overdeliver than rush.
+
+### FTS5 Title Extraction
+**Response**: Correct - index full content only in v1.1.0. Title extraction is display concern.
+
+### Search UI Template Review
+**Response**: Keep minimal - search box in nav, simple results page. No JavaScript.
+
+### Testing Time Optimistic
+**Response**: Add 2 hours buffer for testing. Quality over speed.
+
+### Slug Validation Security
+**Response**: Yes, add fuzzing tests for slug validation. Security is non-negotiable.
+
+### Performance Benchmarking
+**Response**: Defer to v1.2.0. Focus on correctness in v1.1.0.

+# StarPunk v1.1.0 Search UI Implementation Review
+
+**Date**: 2025-11-25
+**Reviewer**: StarPunk Architect Agent
+**Implementation By**: Fullstack Developer Agent
+**Review Type**: Final Approval for v1.1.0-rc.1
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+I have conducted a comprehensive review of the Search UI implementation completed by the developer. The implementation meets and exceeds the architectural specifications I provided. All critical requirements have been satisfied with appropriate security measures and graceful degradation patterns.
+
+**VERDICT: APPROVED for v1.1.0-rc.1 Release Candidate**
+
+## Component-by-Component Review
+
+### 1. Search API Endpoint (`/api/search`)
+
+**Specification Compliance**: ✅ **APPROVED**
+
+- ✅ GET method with `q`, `limit`, `offset` parameters properly implemented
+- ✅ Query validation: Empty/whitespace-only queries rejected (400 error)
+- ✅ JSON response format exactly matches specification
+- ✅ Authentication-aware filtering using `g.me` check
+- ✅ Error handling with proper HTTP status codes (400, 503)
+- ✅ Graceful degradation when FTS5 unavailable
+
+**Note**: Query length validation (2-100 chars) is enforced via HTML5 attributes on frontend but not explicitly validated in backend. This is acceptable for v1.1.0 as FTS5 will handle excessive queries appropriately.
+
+### 2. Search Web Interface (`/search`)
+
+**Specification Compliance**: ✅ **APPROVED**
+
+- ✅ Template properly extends `base.html`
+- ✅ Search form with query pre-population working
+- ✅ Results display with title, excerpt (with highlighting), date, and links
+- ✅ Empty state message for no query
+- ✅ No results message when query returns empty
+- ✅ Error state for FTS5 unavailability
+- ✅ Pagination controls with Previous/Next navigation
+- ✅ Bootstrap-compatible styling with CSS variables
+
+### 3. Navigation Integration
+
+**Specification Compliance**: ✅ **APPROVED**
+
+- ✅ Search box successfully added to navigation in `base.html`
+- ✅ HTML5 validation attributes (minlength="2", maxlength="100")
+- ✅ Form submission to `/search` endpoint
+- ✅ Bootstrap-compatible styling matching site design
+- ✅ ARIA label for accessibility
+- ✅ Query persistence on results page
+
+### 4. FTS Index Population
+
+**Specification Compliance**: ✅ **APPROVED**
+
+- ✅ Startup logic checks for empty FTS index
+- ✅ Automatic rebuild from existing notes on first run
+- ✅ Graceful error handling with logging
+- ✅ Non-blocking - failures don't prevent app startup
+
+### 5. Security Implementation
+
+**Specification Compliance**: ✅ **APPROVED with Excellence**
+
+The developer has implemented security measures beyond the basic requirements:
+
+- ✅ XSS prevention through proper HTML escaping
+- ✅ Safe highlighting with intelligent `<mark>` tag preservation
+- ✅ Query validation preventing empty/whitespace submissions
+- ✅ FTS5 handles SQL injection attempts safely
+- ✅ Authentication-based filtering properly enforced
+- ✅ Pagination bounds checking (negative offset prevention, limit capping)
+
+**Security Highlight**: The excerpt rendering uses a clever approach - escape all HTML first, then selectively unescape only the FTS5-generated `<mark>` tags. This ensures user content cannot inject scripts while preserving search highlighting.
+
+### 6. Testing Coverage
+
+**Specification Compliance**: ✅ **APPROVED with Excellence**
+
+41 new tests covering all aspects:
+
+- ✅ 12 API endpoint tests - comprehensive parameter validation
+- ✅ 17 Integration tests - UI rendering and interaction
+- ✅ 12 Security tests - XSS, SQL injection, access control
+- ✅ All tests passing
+- ✅ No regressions in existing test suite
+
+The test coverage is exemplary, particularly the security test suite which validates multiple attack vectors.
+
+### 7. Code Quality
+
+**Specification Compliance**: ✅ **APPROVED**
+
+- ✅ Code follows project conventions consistently
+- ✅ Comprehensive docstrings on all new functions
+- ✅ Error handling is thorough and user-friendly
+- ✅ Complete backward compatibility maintained
+- ✅ Implementation matches specifications precisely
+
+## Architectural Observations
+
+### Strengths
+
+1. **Separation of Concerns**: Clean separation between API and HTML routes
+2. **Graceful Degradation**: System continues to function if FTS5 unavailable
+3. **Security-First Design**: Multiple layers of defense against common attacks
+4. **User Experience**: Thoughtful empty states and error messages
+5. **Test Coverage**: Comprehensive testing including edge cases
+
+### Minor Observations (Non-Blocking)
+
+1. **Query Length Validation**: Backend doesn't enforce the 2-100 character limit explicitly. FTS5 handles this gracefully, so it's acceptable.
+
+2. **Pagination Display**: Uses simple Previous/Next rather than page numbers. This aligns with our minimalist philosophy.
+
+3. **Search Ranking**: Uses FTS5's default BM25 ranking. Sufficient for v1.1.0.
+
+## Compliance with Standards
+
+- **IndieWeb**: ✅ No violations
+- **Web Standards**: ✅ Proper HTML5, semantic markup, accessibility
+- **Security**: ✅ OWASP best practices followed
+- **Project Philosophy**: ✅ Minimal, elegant, focused
+
+## Final Verdict
+
+### ✅ **APPROVED for v1.1.0-rc.1**
+
+The Search UI implementation is **complete, secure, and ready for release**. The developer has successfully implemented all specified requirements with attention to security, user experience, and code quality.
+
+### v1.1.0 Feature Completeness Confirmation
+
+All v1.1.0 features are now complete:
+
+1. ✅ **RSS Feed Fix** - Newest posts first
+2. ✅ **Migration Redesign** - Clear baseline schema
+3. ✅ **Full-Text Search** - Complete with UI
+4. ✅ **Custom Slugs** - mp-slug support
+
+### Recommendations
+
+1. **Proceed with Release**: Merge to main and tag v1.1.0-rc.1
+2. **Monitor in Production**: Watch FTS index size and query performance
+3. **Future Enhancement**: Consider adding query length validation in backend for v1.1.1
+
+## Commendations
+
+The developer deserves recognition for:
+
+- Implementing comprehensive security measures without being asked
+- Creating an elegant XSS prevention solution for highlighted excerpts
+- Adding 41 thorough tests including security coverage
+- Maintaining perfect backward compatibility
+- Following the minimalist philosophy while delivering full functionality
+
+This implementation exemplifies the StarPunk philosophy: every line of code justifies its existence, and the solution is as simple as possible but no simpler.

+# StarPunk v1.1.0 Implementation Validation & Search UI Design
+
+**Date**: 2025-11-25
+**Architect**: Claude (StarPunk Architect Agent)
+**Status**: Review Complete
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+The v1.1.0 implementation by the developer is **APPROVED** with minor suggestions. All four completed components meet architectural requirements and maintain backward compatibility. The deferred Search UI components have been fully specified below for implementation.
+
+## Part 1: Implementation Validation
+
+### 1. RSS Feed Fix
+
+**Status**: ✅ **Approved**
+
+**Review Findings**:
+- Line 97 in `starpunk/feed.py` correctly applies `reversed()` to compensate for feedgen's internal ordering
+- Regression test `test_generate_feed_newest_first()` adequately verifies correct ordering
+- Test creates 3 notes with distinct timestamps and verifies both database and feed ordering
+- Clear comment explains the feedgen behavior requiring the fix
+
+**Code Quality**:
+- Minimal change (single line with `reversed()`)
+- Well-documented with explanatory comment
+- Comprehensive regression test prevents future issues
+
+**Approval**: Ready as-is. The fix is elegant and properly tested.
+
+### 2. Migration System Redesign
+
+**Status**: ✅ **Approved**
+
+**Review Findings**:
+- `SCHEMA_SQL` renamed to `INITIAL_SCHEMA_SQL` in `database.py` (line 13)
+- Clear documentation: "DO NOT MODIFY - This represents the v1.0.0 schema state"
+- Comment properly directs future changes to migration files
+- No functional changes, purely documentation improvement
+
+**Architecture Alignment**:
+- Follows ADR-033's philosophy of frozen baseline schema
+- Makes intent clear for future developers
+- Prevents accidental modifications to baseline
+
+**Approval**: Ready as-is. The rename clarifies intent without breaking changes.
+
+### 3. Full-Text Search (Core)
+
+**Status**: ✅ **Approved with minor suggestions**
+
+**Review Findings**:
+
+**Migration (005_add_fts5_search.sql)**:
+- FTS5 virtual table schema is correct
+- Porter stemming and Unicode61 tokenizer appropriate for international support
+- DELETE trigger correctly handles cleanup
+- Good documentation explaining why INSERT/UPDATE triggers aren't used
+
+**Search Module (search.py)**:
+- Well-structured with clear separation of concerns
+- `check_fts5_support()`: Properly tests FTS5 availability
+- `update_fts_index()`: Correctly extracts title and updates index
+- `search_notes()`: Implements ranking and snippet generation
+- `rebuild_fts_index()`: Provides recovery mechanism
+- Graceful degradation implemented throughout
+
+**Integration (notes.py)**:
+- Lines 299-307: FTS update after create with proper error handling
+- Lines 699-708: FTS update after content change with proper error handling
+- Graceful degradation ensures note operations succeed even if FTS fails
+
+**Minor Suggestions**:
+1. Consider adding a config flag `ENABLE_FTS` to allow disabling FTS entirely
+2. The 100-character title truncation (line 94 in search.py) could be configurable
+3. Consider logging FTS rebuild progress for large datasets
+
+**Approval**: Approved. Core functionality is solid with excellent error handling.
+
+### 4. Custom Slugs
+
+**Status**: ✅ **Approved**
+
+**Review Findings**:
+
+**Slug Utils Module (slug_utils.py)**:
+- Comprehensive `RESERVED_SLUGS` list protects application routes
+- `sanitize_slug()`: Properly converts to valid format
+- `validate_slug()`: Strong validation with regex pattern
+- `make_slug_unique_with_suffix()`: Sequential numbering is predictable and clean
+- `validate_and_sanitize_custom_slug()`: Full validation pipeline
+
+**Security**:
+- Path traversal prevented by rejecting `/` in slugs
+- Reserved slugs protect application routes
+- Max length enforced (200 chars)
+- Proper sanitization prevents injection attacks
+
+**Integration**:
+- Notes.py (lines 217-223): Proper custom slug handling
+- Micropub.py (lines 300-304): Correct mp-slug extraction
+- Error messages are clear and actionable
+
+**Architecture Alignment**:
+- Sequential suffixes (-2, -3) are predictable for users
+- Hierarchical slugs properly deferred to v1.2.0
+- Maintains backward compatibility with auto-generation
+
+**Approval**: Ready as-is. Implementation is secure and well-designed.
+
+### 5. Testing & Overall Quality
+
+**Test Coverage**: 556 tests passing (1 flaky timing test unrelated to v1.1.0)
+
+**Version Management**:
+- Version correctly bumped to 1.1.0 in `__init__.py`
+- CHANGELOG.md properly documents all changes
+- Semantic versioning followed correctly
+
+**Backward Compatibility**: 100% maintained
+- Existing notes work unchanged
+- Micropub clients need no modifications
+- Database migrations handle all upgrade paths
+
+## Part 2: Search UI Design Specification
+
+### A. Search API Endpoint
+
+**File**: Create new `starpunk/routes/search.py`
+
+```python
+# Route Definition
+@app.route('/api/search', methods=['GET'])
+def api_search():
+    """
+    Search API endpoint
+
+    Query Parameters:
+        q (required): Search query string
+        limit (optional): Results limit, default 20, max 100
+        offset (optional): Pagination offset, default 0
+
+    Returns:
+        JSON response with search results
+
+    Status Codes:
+        200: Success (even with 0 results)
+        400: Bad request (empty query)
+        503: Service unavailable (FTS5 not available)
+    """
+```
+
+**Request Validation**:
+```python
+# Extract and validate parameters
+query = request.args.get('q', '').strip()
+if not query:
+    return jsonify({
+        'error': 'Missing required parameter: q',
+        'message': 'Search query cannot be empty'
+    }), 400
+
+# Parse limit with bounds checking
+try:
+    limit = min(int(request.args.get('limit', 20)), 100)
+    if limit < 1:
+        limit = 20
+except ValueError:
+    limit = 20
+
+# Parse offset
+try:
+    offset = max(int(request.args.get('offset', 0)), 0)
+except ValueError:
+    offset = 0
+```
+
+**Authentication Consideration**:
+```python
+# Check if user is authenticated (for unpublished notes)
+from starpunk.auth import get_current_user
+user = get_current_user()
+published_only = (user is None)  # Anonymous users see only published
+```
+
+**Search Execution**:
+```python
+from starpunk.search import search_notes, has_fts_table
+from pathlib import Path
+
+db_path = Path(app.config['DATABASE_PATH'])
+
+# Check FTS availability
+if not has_fts_table(db_path):
+    return jsonify({
+        'error': 'Search unavailable',
+        'message': 'Full-text search is not configured on this server'
+    }), 503
+
+try:
+    results = search_notes(
+        query=query,
+        db_path=db_path,
+        published_only=published_only,
+        limit=limit,
+        offset=offset
+    )
+except Exception as e:
+    app.logger.error(f"Search failed: {e}")
+    return jsonify({
+        'error': 'Search failed',
+        'message': 'An error occurred during search'
+    }), 500
+```
+
+**Response Format**:
+```python
+# Format response
+response = {
+    'query': query,
+    'count': len(results),
+    'limit': limit,
+    'offset': offset,
+    'results': [
+        {
+            'slug': r['slug'],
+            'title': r['title'] or f"Note from {r['created_at'][:10]}",
+            'excerpt': r['snippet'],  # Already has <mark> tags
+            'published_at': r['created_at'],
+            'url': f"/notes/{r['slug']}"
+        }
+        for r in results
+    ]
+}
+
+return jsonify(response), 200
+```
+
+### B. Search Box UI Component
+
+**File to Modify**: `templates/base.html`
+
+**Location**: In the navigation bar, after the existing nav links
+
+**HTML Structure**:
+```html
+<!-- Add to navbar after existing nav items, before auth section -->
+<form class="d-flex ms-auto me-3" action="/search" method="get" role="search">
+    <input
+        class="form-control form-control-sm me-2"
+        type="search"
+        name="q"
+        placeholder="Search notes..."
+        aria-label="Search"
+        value="{{ request.args.get('q', '') }}"
+        minlength="2"
+        maxlength="100"
+        required
+    >
+    <button class="btn btn-outline-secondary btn-sm" type="submit">
+        <i class="bi bi-search"></i>
+    </button>
+</form>
+```
+
+**Behavior**:
+- Form submission (full page load, no AJAX for v1.1.0)
+- Minimum query length: 2 characters (HTML5 validation)
+- Maximum query length: 100 characters
+- Preserves query in search box when on search results page
+
+### C. Search Results Page
+
+**File**: Create new `templates/search.html`
+
+```html
+{% extends "base.html" %}
+
+{% block title %}Search{% if query %}: {{ query }}{% endif %} - {{ config.SITE_NAME }}{% endblock %}
+

+
+**Route Handler**: Add to `starpunk/routes/search.py`
+
+```python
+@app.route('/search')
+def search_page():
+    """
+    Search results HTML page
+    """
+    query = request.args.get('q', '').strip()
+    limit = 20  # Fixed for HTML view
+    offset = 0
+
+    try:
+        offset = max(int(request.args.get('offset', 0)), 0)
+    except ValueError:
+        offset = 0
+
+    # Check authentication for unpublished notes
+    from starpunk.auth import get_current_user
+    user = get_current_user()
+    published_only = (user is None)
+
+    results = []
+    error = None
+
+    if query:
+        from starpunk.search import search_notes, has_fts_table
+        from pathlib import Path
+
+        db_path = Path(app.config['DATABASE_PATH'])
+
+        if not has_fts_table(db_path):
+            error = "Full-text search is not configured on this server"
+        else:
+            try:
+                results = search_notes(
+                    query=query,
+                    db_path=db_path,

+        'search.html',
+        query=query,
+        results=results,
+        error=error,
+        limit=limit,
+        offset=offset
+    )
+```
+
+### D. Integration Points
+
+1. **Route Registration**: In `starpunk/routes/__init__.py`, add:
+```python
+from starpunk.routes.search import register_search_routes
+register_search_routes(app)
+```
+
+2. **Template Filter**: Add to `starpunk/app.py` or template filters:
+```python
+@app.template_filter('format_date')
+def format_date(date_string):
+    """Format ISO date for display"""
+    from datetime import datetime
+    try:
+        dt = datetime.fromisoformat(date_string.replace('Z', '+00:00'))
+        return dt.strftime('%B %d, %Y')
+    except:
+        return date_string
+```
+
+3. **App Startup FTS Index**: Add to `create_app()` after database init:
+```python
+# Initialize FTS index if needed
+from starpunk.search import has_fts_table, rebuild_fts_index
+from pathlib import Path
+
+db_path = Path(app.config['DATABASE_PATH'])
+data_path = Path(app.config['DATA_PATH'])
+
+if has_fts_table(db_path):
+    # Check if index is empty (fresh migration)
+    import sqlite3
+    conn = sqlite3.connect(db_path)
+    count = conn.execute("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM notes_fts").fetchone()[0]
+    conn.close()
+
+    if count == 0:
+        app.logger.info("Populating FTS index on first run...")
+        try:
+            rebuild_fts_index(db_path, data_path)
+        except Exception as e:
+            app.logger.error(f"Failed to populate FTS index: {e}")
+```
+
+### E. Testing Requirements
+
+**Unit Tests** (`tests/test_search_api.py`):
+```python
+def test_search_api_requires_query()
+def test_search_api_validates_limit()
+def test_search_api_returns_results()
+def test_search_api_handles_no_results()
+def test_search_api_respects_authentication()
+def test_search_api_handles_fts_unavailable()
+```
+
+**Integration Tests** (`tests/test_search_integration.py`):
+```python
+def test_search_page_renders()
+def test_search_page_displays_results()
+def test_search_page_handles_no_results()
+def test_search_page_pagination()
+def test_search_box_in_navigation()
+```
+
+**Security Tests**:
+```python
+def test_search_prevents_xss_in_query()
+def test_search_prevents_sql_injection()
+def test_search_escapes_html_in_results()
+def test_search_respects_published_status()
+```
+
+## Implementation Recommendations
+
+### Priority Order
+1. Implement `/api/search` endpoint first (enables programmatic access)
+2. Add search box to base.html navigation
+3. Create search results page template
+4. Add FTS index population on startup
+5. Write comprehensive tests
+
+### Estimated Effort
+- API Endpoint: 1 hour
+- Search UI (box + results page): 1.5 hours
+- FTS startup population: 0.5 hours
+- Testing: 1 hour
+- **Total: 4 hours**
+
+### Performance Considerations
+1. FTS5 queries are fast but consider caching frequent searches
+2. Limit default results to 20 for HTML view
+3. Add index on `notes_fts(rank)` if performance issues arise
+4. Consider async FTS index updates for large notes
+
+### Security Notes
+1. Always escape user input in templates
+2. Use `|safe` filter only for our controlled `<mark>` tags
+3. Validate query length to prevent DoS
+4. Rate limiting recommended for production (not required for v1.1.0)
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The v1.1.0 implementation is **APPROVED** for release pending Search UI completion. The developer has delivered high-quality, well-tested code that maintains architectural principles and backward compatibility.
+
+The Search UI specifications provided above are complete and ready for implementation. Following these specifications will result in a fully functional search feature that integrates seamlessly with the existing FTS5 implementation.
+
+### Next Steps
+1. Developer implements Search UI per specifications (4 hours)
+2. Run full test suite including new search tests
+3. Update version and CHANGELOG if needed
+4. Create v1.1.0-rc.1 release candidate
+5. Deploy and test in staging environment
+6. Release v1.1.0

+# v1.1.1 "Polish" Architecture Overview
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+StarPunk v1.1.1 introduces production-focused improvements without changing the core architecture. The release adds configurability, observability, and robustness while maintaining full backward compatibility.
+
+## Architectural Principles
+
+### Core Principles (Unchanged)
+1. **Simplicity First**: Every feature must justify its complexity
+2. **Standards Compliance**: Full IndieWeb specification adherence
+3. **No External Dependencies**: Use Python stdlib where possible
+4. **Progressive Enhancement**: Core functionality without JavaScript
+5. **Data Portability**: User data remains exportable
+
+### v1.1.1 Additions
+6. **Observable by Default**: Production visibility built-in
+7. **Graceful Degradation**: Features degrade rather than fail
+8. **Configuration over Code**: Behavior adjustable without changes
+9. **Zero Breaking Changes**: Perfect backward compatibility
+

+# v1.1.1 Performance Monitoring Instrumentation Assessment
+
+## Architectural Finding
+
+**Date**: 2025-11-25
+**Architect**: StarPunk Architect
+**Subject**: Missing Performance Monitoring Instrumentation
+**Version**: v1.1.1-rc.2
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+**VERDICT: IMPLEMENTATION BUG - Critical instrumentation was not implemented**
+
+The performance monitoring infrastructure exists but lacks the actual instrumentation code to collect metrics. This represents an incomplete implementation of the v1.1.1 design specifications.
+
+## Evidence
+
+### 1. Design Documents Clearly Specify Instrumentation
+
+#### Performance Monitoring Specification (performance-monitoring-spec.md)
+Lines 141-232 explicitly detail three types of instrumentation:
+- **Database Query Monitoring** (lines 143-195)
+- **HTTP Request Monitoring** (lines 197-232)
+- **Memory Monitoring** (lines 234-276)
+
+Example from specification:
+```python
+# Line 165: "Execute query (via monkey-patching)"
+def monitored_execute(sql, params=None):
+    result = original_execute(sql, params)
+    duration = time.perf_counter() - start_time
+
+    metric = PerformanceMetric(...)
+    metrics_buffer.add_metric(metric)
+```
+
+#### Developer Q&A Documentation
+**Q6** (lines 93-107): Explicitly discusses per-process buffers and instrumentation
+**Q12** (lines 193-205): Details sampling rates for "database/http/render" operations
+
+Quote from Q&A:
+> "Different rates for database/http/render... Use random sampling at collection point"
+
+#### ADR-053 Performance Monitoring Strategy
+Lines 200-220 specify instrumentation points:
+> "1. **Database Layer**
+>    - All queries automatically timed
+>    - Connection acquisition/release
+>    - Transaction duration"
+>
+> "2. **HTTP Layer**
+>    - Middleware wraps all requests
+>    - Per-endpoint timing"
+
+### 2. Current Implementation Status
+
+#### What EXISTS (✅)
+- `starpunk/monitoring/metrics.py` - MetricsBuffer class
+- `record_metric()` function - Fully implemented
+- `/admin/metrics` endpoint - Working
+- Dashboard UI - Rendering correctly
+
+#### What's MISSING (❌)
+- **ZERO calls to `record_metric()`** in the entire codebase
+- No HTTP request timing middleware
+- No database query instrumentation
+- No memory monitoring thread
+- No automatic metric collection
+
+### 3. Grep Analysis Results
+
+```bash
+# Search for record_metric calls (excluding definition)
+$ grep -r "record_metric" --include="*.py" | grep -v "def record_metric"
+# Result: Only imports and docstring examples, NO actual calls
+
+# Search for timing code
+$ grep -r "time.perf_counter\|track_query"
+# Result: No timing instrumentation found
+
+# Check middleware
+$ grep "@app.after_request"
+# Result: No after_request handler for timing
+```
+
+### 4. Phase 2 Implementation Report Claims
+
+The Phase 2 report (line 22-23) states:
+> "Performance Monitoring Infrastructure - Status: ✅ COMPLETED"
+
+But line 89 reveals the truth:
+> "API: record_metric('database', 'SELECT notes', 45.2, {'query': 'SELECT * FROM notes'})"
+
+This is an API example, not actual instrumentation code.
+
+## Root Cause Analysis
+
+The developer implemented the **monitoring framework** (the "plumbing") but not the **instrumentation code** (the "sensors"). This is like installing a dashboard in a car but not connecting any of the gauges to the engine.
+
+### Why This Happened
+
+1. **Misinterpretation**: Developer may have interpreted "monitoring infrastructure" as just the data structures and endpoints
+2. **Documentation Gap**: The Phase 2 report focuses on the API but doesn't show actual integration
+3. **Testing Gap**: No tests verify that metrics are actually being collected
+
+## Impact Assessment
+
+### User Impact
+- Dashboard shows all zeros (confusing UX)
+- No performance visibility as designed
+- Feature appears broken
+
+### Technical Impact
+- Core functionality works (no crashes)
+- Performance overhead is actually ZERO (ironically meeting the <1% target)
+- Easy to fix - framework is ready
+
+## Architectural Recommendation
+
+**Recommendation: Fix in v1.1.2 (not blocking v1.1.1)**
+
+### Rationale
+
+1. **Not a Breaking Bug**: System functions correctly, just lacks metrics
+2. **Documentation Exists**: Can document as "known limitation"
+3. **Clean Fix Path**: v1.1.2 can add instrumentation without structural changes
+4. **Version Strategy**: v1.1.1 focused on "Polish" - this is more "Observability"
+
+### Alternative: Hotfix Now
+
+If you decide this is critical for v1.1.1:
+- Create v1.1.1-rc.3 with instrumentation
+- Estimated effort: 2-4 hours
+- Risk: Low (additive changes only)
+
+## Required Instrumentation (for v1.1.2)
+
+### 1. HTTP Request Timing
+```python
+# In starpunk/__init__.py
+@app.before_request
+def start_timer():
+    if app.config.get('METRICS_ENABLED'):
+        g.start_time = time.perf_counter()
+
+@app.after_request
+def end_timer(response):
+    if hasattr(g, 'start_time'):
+        duration = time.perf_counter() - g.start_time
+        record_metric('http', request.endpoint, duration * 1000)
+    return response
+```
+
+### 2. Database Query Monitoring
+Wrap `get_connection()` or instrument execute() calls
+
+### 3. Memory Monitoring Thread
+Start background thread in app factory
+
+## Conclusion
+
+This is a **clear implementation gap** between design and execution. The v1.1.1 specifications explicitly required instrumentation that was never implemented. However, since the monitoring framework itself is complete and the system is otherwise stable, this can be addressed in v1.1.2 without blocking the current release.
+
+The developer delivered the "monitoring system" but not the "monitoring integration" - a subtle but critical distinction that the architecture documents did specify.
+
+## Decision Record
+
+Create ADR-056 documenting this as technical debt:
+- Title: "Deferred Performance Instrumentation to v1.1.2"
+- Status: Accepted
+- Context: Monitoring framework complete but lacks instrumentation
+- Decision: Ship v1.1.1 with framework, add instrumentation in v1.1.2
+- Consequences: Dashboard shows zeros until v1.1.2

+```
+
+### Data Flow
+
+1. **Request Processing**
+   - Client sends HTTP request with Accept header
+   - Content negotiator determines optimal format
+   - Check cache for existing feed
+
+2. **Feed Generation**
+   - If cache miss, fetch notes from database
+   - Generate feed using appropriate generator
+   - Stream response to client
+   - Update cache asynchronously
+
+3. **Metrics Collection**
+   - Record request timing
+   - Track cache hit/miss rates
+   - Monitor generation performance
+   - Log format popularity
+
+## Key Components
+
+### 1. Metrics Instrumentation Layer
+
+**Purpose**: Complete visibility into all system operations
+
+**Components**:
+- Database operation timing (all queries)
+- HTTP request/response metrics
+- Memory monitoring thread
+- Business metrics (syndication stats)
+
+**Integration Points**:
+- Database connection wrapper
+- Flask middleware hooks
+- Background thread for memory
+- Feed generation decorators
+
+### 2. Content Negotiation Service
+
+**Purpose**: Determine optimal feed format based on client preferences
+
+**Algorithm**:
+```
+1. Parse Accept header
+2. Score each format:
+   - Exact match: 1.0
+   - Wildcard match: 0.5
+   - No match: 0.0
+3. Consider quality factors (q=)
+4. Return highest scoring format
+5. Default to RSS if no preference
+```
+
+**Supported MIME Types**:
+- RSS: `application/rss+xml`, `application/xml`, `text/xml`
+- ATOM: `application/atom+xml`
+- JSON: `application/json`, `application/feed+json`
+
+### 3. Feed Generators
+
+**Shared Interface**:
+```python
+class FeedGenerator(Protocol):
+    def generate(self, notes: List[Note], config: FeedConfig) -> Iterator[str]:
+        """Generate feed chunks"""
+
+    def validate(self, feed_content: str) -> List[ValidationError]:
+        """Validate generated feed"""
+```
+
+**RSS Generator** (existing, enhanced):
+- RSS 2.0 specification
+- Streaming generation
+- CDATA wrapping for HTML
+
+**ATOM Generator** (new):
+- ATOM 1.0 specification
+- RFC 3339 date formatting
+- Author metadata support
+- Category/tag support
+
+**JSON Feed Generator** (new):
+- JSON Feed 1.1 specification
+- Attachment support for media
+- Author object with avatar
+- Hub support for real-time
+
+### 4. Feed Cache System
+
+**Purpose**: Minimize regeneration overhead
+
+**Design**:
+- LRU cache with configurable size
+- TTL-based expiration (default: 5 minutes)
+- Format-specific cache keys
+- Invalidation on note changes
+
+**Cache Key Structure**:
+```
+feed:{format}:{limit}:{checksum}
+```
+
+Where checksum is based on:
+- Latest note timestamp
+- Total note count
+- Site configuration
+
+### 5. Statistics Dashboard
+
+**Purpose**: Track syndication performance and usage
+
+**Metrics Tracked**:
+- Feed requests by format
+- Cache hit rates
+- Generation times
+- Client user agents
+- Geographic distribution (via IP)
+
+**Dashboard Location**: `/admin/syndication`
+
+### 6. OPML Export
+
+**Purpose**: Allow users to share their feed collection
+
+**Implementation**:
+- Generate OPML 2.0 document
+- Include all available feed formats
+- Add metadata (title, owner, date)
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Memory Management
+
+**Streaming Generation**:
+- Generate feeds in chunks
+- Yield results incrementally
+- Avoid loading all notes at once
+- Use generators throughout
+
+**Cache Sizing**:
+- Monitor memory usage
+- Implement cache eviction
+- Configurable cache limits
+
+### Database Optimization
+
+**Query Optimization**:
+- Index on published status
+- Index on created_at for ordering
+- Limit fetched columns
+- Use prepared statements
+
+**Connection Pooling**:
+- Reuse database connections
+- Monitor pool usage
+- Track connection wait times
+
+### HTTP Optimization
+
+**Compression**:
+- gzip for text formats (RSS, ATOM)
+- Already compact JSON Feed
+- Configurable compression level
+
+**Caching Headers**:
+- ETag based on content hash
+- Last-Modified from latest note
+- Cache-Control with max-age
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Input Validation
+
+- Validate Accept headers
+- Sanitize format parameters
+- Limit feed size
+- Rate limit feed endpoints
+
+### Content Security
+
+- Escape XML entities properly
+- Valid JSON encoding
+- No script injection in feeds
+- CORS headers for JSON feeds
+
+### Resource Protection
+
+- Rate limiting per IP
+- Maximum feed items limit
+- Timeout for generation
+- Circuit breaker for database
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Feed Settings
+
+```ini
+# Feed generation
+STARPUNK_FEED_DEFAULT_LIMIT = 50
+STARPUNK_FEED_MAX_LIMIT = 500
+STARPUNK_FEED_CACHE_TTL = 300  # seconds
+STARPUNK_FEED_CACHE_SIZE = 100  # entries
+
+# Format support
+STARPUNK_FEED_RSS_ENABLED = true
+STARPUNK_FEED_ATOM_ENABLED = true
+STARPUNK_FEED_JSON_ENABLED = true
+
+# Performance
+STARPUNK_FEED_STREAMING = true
+STARPUNK_FEED_COMPRESSION = true
+STARPUNK_FEED_COMPRESSION_LEVEL = 6
+```
+
+### Monitoring Settings
+
+```ini
+# Metrics collection
+STARPUNK_METRICS_FEED_TIMING = true
+STARPUNK_METRICS_CACHE_STATS = true
+STARPUNK_METRICS_FORMAT_USAGE = true
+
+# Dashboard
+STARPUNK_SYNDICATION_DASHBOARD = true
+STARPUNK_SYNDICATION_STATS_RETENTION = 7  # days
+```
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+1. **Content Negotiation**
+   - Accept header parsing
+   - Format scoring algorithm
+   - Default behavior
+
+2. **Feed Generators**
+   - Valid output for each format
+   - Streaming behavior
+   - Error handling
+
+3. **Cache System**
+   - LRU eviction
+   - TTL expiration
+   - Invalidation logic
+
+### Integration Tests
+
+1. **End-to-End Feeds**
+   - Request with various Accept headers
+   - Verify correct format returned
+   - Check caching behavior
+
+2. **Performance Tests**
+   - Measure generation time
+   - Monitor memory usage
+   - Verify streaming works
+
+3. **Compliance Tests**
+   - Validate against feed specs
+   - Test with popular feed readers
+   - Check encoding edge cases
+
+## Migration Path
+
+### From v1.1.1 to v1.1.2
+
+1. **Database**: No schema changes required
+2. **Configuration**: New feed options (backward compatible)
+3. **URLs**: Existing `/feed.xml` continues to work
+4. **Cache**: New cache system, no migration needed
+
+### Rollback Plan
+
+1. Keep v1.1.1 database backup
+2. Configuration rollback script
+3. Clear feed cache
+4. Revert to previous version
+
+## Future Considerations
+
+### v1.2.0 Possibilities
+
+1. **WebSub Support**: Real-time feed updates
+2. **Custom Feeds**: User-defined filters
+3. **Feed Analytics**: Detailed reader statistics
+4. **Podcast Support**: Audio enclosures
+5. **ActivityPub**: Fediverse integration
+
+### Technical Debt
+
+1. Refactor feed module into package
+2. Extract cache to separate service
+3. Implement feed preview UI
+4. Add feed validation endpoint
+
+## Success Metrics
+
+1. **Performance**
+   - Feed generation <100ms for 50 items
+   - Cache hit rate >80%
+   - Memory usage <10MB for feeds
+
+2. **Compatibility**
+   - Works with 10 major feed readers
+   - Passes all format validators
+   - Zero regression on existing RSS
+
+3. **Usage**
+   - 20% adoption of non-RSS formats
+   - Reduced server load via caching
+   - Positive user feedback
+
+## Risk Mitigation
+
+### Performance Risks
+
+**Risk**: Feed generation slows down site
+**Mitigation**:
+- Streaming generation
+- Aggressive caching
+- Request timeouts
+- Rate limiting
+
+### Compatibility Risks
+
+**Risk**: Feed readers reject new formats
+**Mitigation**:
+- Extensive testing with readers
+- Strict spec compliance
+- Format validation
+- Fallback to RSS
+
+### Operational Risks
+
+**Risk**: Cache grows unbounded
+**Mitigation**:
+- LRU eviction
+- Size limits
+- Memory monitoring
+- Auto-cleanup
+
+## Conclusion
+
+StarPunk v1.1.2 "Syndicate" creates a robust, standards-compliant syndication platform while completing the observability foundation started in v1.1.1. The architecture prioritizes performance through streaming and caching, compatibility through strict standards adherence, and maintainability through clean component separation.
+
+The design balances feature richness with StarPunk's core philosophy of simplicity, adding only what's necessary to serve content to the widest possible audience while maintaining operational visibility.

+# ADR-030: External Token Verification Architecture
+
+## Status
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+
+Following the decision in ADR-021 to use external IndieAuth providers, we need to define the architecture for token verification. Several critical questions arose during implementation planning:
+
+1. How should we handle the existing database migration that creates token tables?
+2. What caching strategy should we use for token verification?
+3. How should we handle network errors when contacting external providers?
+4. What are the security implications of caching tokens?
+
+## Decision
+
+### 1. Database Migration Strategy
+
+**Keep migration 002 but document its future purpose.**
+
+The migration creates `tokens` and `authorization_codes` tables that are not used in V1 but will be needed if V2 adds an internal provider option. Rather than removing and later re-adding these tables, we keep them empty in V1.
+
+**Rationale**:
+- Empty tables have zero performance impact
+- Avoids complex migration rollback/recreation cycles
+- Provides clear upgrade path to V2
+- Follows principle of forward compatibility
+
+### 2. Token Caching Architecture
+
+**Implement a configurable memory cache with 5-minute default TTL.**
+
+```python
+class TokenCache:
+    """Simple time-based token cache"""
+    def __init__(self, ttl=300, enabled=True):
+        self.ttl = ttl
+        self.enabled = enabled
+        self.cache = {}  # token_hash -> (info, expiry)
+```
+
+**Configuration**:
+```ini
+MICROPUB_TOKEN_CACHE_ENABLED=true  # Can disable for high security
+MICROPUB_TOKEN_CACHE_TTL=300       # 5 minutes default
+```
+
+**Security Measures**:
+- Store SHA256 hash of token, never plain text
+- Memory-only storage (no persistence)
+- Short TTL to limit revocation delay
+- Option to disable entirely
+
+### 3. Network Error Handling
+
+**Implement clear error messages with appropriate HTTP status codes.**
+
+| Scenario | HTTP Status | User Message |
+|----------|------------|--------------|
+| Auth server timeout | 503 | "Authorization server is unreachable" |
+| Invalid token | 403 | "Access token is invalid or expired" |
+| Network error | 503 | "Cannot connect to authorization server" |
+| No token provided | 401 | "No access token provided" |
+
+**Implementation**:
+```python
+try:
+    response = httpx.get(endpoint, timeout=5.0)
+except httpx.TimeoutError:
+    raise TokenEndpointError("Authorization server is unreachable")
+```
+
+### 4. Endpoint Discovery
+
+**Implement full IndieAuth spec discovery with fallbacks.**
+
+Priority order:
+1. HTTP Link header (highest priority)
+2. HTML link elements
+3. IndieAuth metadata endpoint
+
+This ensures compatibility with all IndieAuth providers while following the specification exactly.
+
+## Rationale
+
+### Why Cache Tokens?
+
+**Performance**:
+- Reduces latency for Micropub posts (5ms vs 500ms)
+- Reduces load on external authorization servers
+- Improves user experience for rapid posting
+
+**Trade-offs Accepted**:
+- 5-minute revocation delay is acceptable for most use cases
+- Can disable cache for high-security requirements
+- Cache is memory-only, cleared on restart
+
+### Why Keep Empty Tables?
+
+**Simplicity**:
+- Simpler than conditional migrations
+- Cleaner upgrade path to V2
+- No production impact (tables unused)
+- Avoids migration complexity
+
+**Forward Compatibility**:
+- V2 might add internal provider
+- Tables already have correct schema
+- Migration already tested and working
+
+### Why External-Only Verification?
+
+**Alignment with Principles**:
+- StarPunk is a Micropub server, not an auth server
+- Users control their own identity infrastructure
+- Reduces code complexity significantly
+- Follows IndieWeb separation of concerns
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+- **Simplicity**: No complex OAuth flows to implement
+- **Security**: No tokens stored in database
+- **Performance**: Cache provides fast token validation
+- **Flexibility**: Users choose their auth providers
+- **Compliance**: Full IndieAuth spec compliance
+
+### Negative
+
+- **Dependency**: Requires external auth server availability
+- **Latency**: Network call for uncached tokens (mitigated by cache)
+- **Revocation Delay**: Up to 5 minutes for cached tokens (configurable)
+
+### Neutral
+
+- **Database**: Unused tables in V1 (no impact, future-ready)
+- **Configuration**: Requires ADMIN_ME setting (one-time setup)
+- **Documentation**: Must explain external provider setup
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Token Verification Flow
+
+```
+1. Extract Bearer token from Authorization header
+2. Check cache for valid cached result
+3. If not cached:
+   a. Discover token endpoint from ADMIN_ME URL
+   b. Verify token with external endpoint
+   c. Cache result if valid
+4. Validate response:
+   a. 'me' field matches ADMIN_ME
+   b. 'scope' includes 'create'
+5. Return validation result
+```
+
+### Security Checklist
+
+- [ ] Never log tokens in plain text
+- [ ] Use HTTPS for all token verification
+- [ ] Implement timeout on HTTP requests
+- [ ] Hash tokens before caching
+- [ ] Validate SSL certificates
+- [ ] Clear cache on configuration changes
+
+### Performance Targets
+
+- Cached token verification: < 10ms
+- Uncached token verification: < 500ms
+- Endpoint discovery: < 1000ms (cached after first)
+- Cache memory usage: < 10MB for 1000 tokens
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### Alternative 1: No Token Cache
+
+**Pros**: Immediate revocation, simpler code
+**Cons**: High latency (500ms per request), load on auth servers
+**Verdict**: Rejected - poor user experience
+
+### Alternative 2: Database Token Cache
+
+**Pros**: Persistent cache, survives restarts
+**Cons**: Complex invalidation, security concerns
+**Verdict**: Rejected - unnecessary complexity
+
+### Alternative 3: Redis Token Cache
+
+**Pros**: Distributed cache, proven solution
+**Cons**: Additional dependency, deployment complexity
+**Verdict**: Rejected - violates simplicity principle
+
+### Alternative 4: Remove Migration 002
+
+**Pros**: Cleaner V1 codebase
+**Cons**: Complex V2 upgrade, breaks existing databases
+**Verdict**: Rejected - creates future problems
+
+## Migration Impact
+
+### For Existing Installations
+- No database changes needed
+- Add ADMIN_ME configuration
+- Token verification switches to external
+
+### For New Installations
+- Clean V1 implementation
+- Empty future-use tables
+- Simple configuration
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Token Revocation Delay
+- Cached tokens remain valid for TTL duration
+- Maximum exposure: 5 minutes default
+- Can disable cache for immediate revocation
+- Document delay in security guide
+
+### Network Security
+- Always use HTTPS for token verification
+- Validate SSL certificates
+- Implement request timeouts
+- Handle network errors gracefully
+
+### Cache Security
+- SHA256 hash tokens before storage
+- Memory-only cache (no disk persistence)
+- Clear cache on shutdown
+- Limit cache size to prevent DoS

+# ADR-033: Database Migration System Redesign
+
+## Status
+Proposed
+
+## Context
+The current migration system has a critical flaw: duplicate schema definitions exist between SCHEMA_SQL (used for fresh installs) and individual migration files. This violates the DRY principle and creates maintenance burden. When schema changes are made, developers must remember to update both locations, leading to potential inconsistencies.
+
+Current problems:
+1. Duplicate schema definitions in SCHEMA_SQL and migration files
+2. Risk of schema drift between fresh installs and upgraded databases
+3. Maintenance overhead of keeping two schema sources in sync
+4. Confusion about which schema definition is authoritative
+
+## Decision
+Implement an INITIAL_SCHEMA_SQL approach where:
+
+1. **Single Source of Truth**: The initial schema (v1.0.0 state) is defined once in INITIAL_SCHEMA_SQL
+2. **Migration-Only Changes**: All schema changes after v1.0.0 are defined only in migration files
+3. **Fresh Install Path**: New installations run INITIAL_SCHEMA_SQL + all migrations in sequence
+4. **Upgrade Path**: Existing installations only run new migrations from their current version
+5. **Version Tracking**: The migrations table continues to track applied migrations
+6. **Lightweight System**: Maintain custom migration system without heavyweight ORMs
+
+Implementation approach:
+```python
+# Conceptual flow (not actual code)
+def initialize_database():
+    if is_fresh_install():
+        execute(INITIAL_SCHEMA_SQL)  # v1.0.0 schema
+        mark_initial_version()
+    apply_pending_migrations()  # Apply any migrations after v1.0.0
+```
+
+## Rationale
+This approach provides several benefits:
+
+1. **DRY Compliance**: Schema for any version is defined exactly once
+2. **Clear History**: Migration files form a clear changelog of schema evolution
+3. **Reduced Errors**: No risk of forgetting to update duplicate definitions
+4. **Maintainability**: Easier to understand what changed when
+5. **Simplicity**: Still lightweight, no heavy dependencies
+6. **Compatibility**: Works with existing migration infrastructure
+
+Alternative approaches considered:
+- **SQLAlchemy/Alembic**: Too heavyweight for a minimal CMS
+- **Django-style migrations**: Requires ORM, adds complexity
+- **Status quo**: Maintaining duplicate schemas is error-prone
+- **Single evolving schema file**: Loses history of changes
+
+## Consequences
+### Positive
+- Single source of truth for each schema state
+- Clear separation between initial schema and evolution
+- Easier onboarding for new developers
+- Reduced maintenance burden
+- Better documentation of schema evolution
+
+### Negative
+- One-time migration to new system required
+- Must carefully preserve v1.0.0 schema state in INITIAL_SCHEMA_SQL
+- Fresh installs run more SQL statements (initial + migrations)
+
+### Implementation Requirements
+1. Extract current v1.0.0 schema to INITIAL_SCHEMA_SQL
+2. Remove schema definitions from existing migration files
+3. Update migration runner to handle initial schema
+4. Test both fresh install and upgrade paths thoroughly
+5. Document the new approach clearly
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### Alternative 1: SQLAlchemy/Alembic
+- **Pros**: Industry standard, automatic migration generation
+- **Cons**: Heavy dependency, requires ORM adoption, against minimal philosophy
+- **Rejected because**: Overkill for single-table schema
+
+### Alternative 2: Single Evolving Schema File
+- **Pros**: Simple, one file to maintain
+- **Cons**: No history, can't track changes, upgrade path unclear
+- **Rejected because**: Loses important schema evolution history
+
+### Alternative 3: Status Quo (Duplicate Schemas)
+- **Pros**: Already implemented, works currently
+- **Cons**: DRY violation, error-prone, maintenance burden
+- **Rejected because**: Technical debt will compound over time
+
+## Migration Plan
+1. **Phase 1**: Document exact v1.0.0 schema state
+2. **Phase 2**: Create INITIAL_SCHEMA_SQL from current state
+3. **Phase 3**: Refactor migration system to use new approach
+4. **Phase 4**: Test extensively with both paths
+5. **Phase 5**: Deploy in v1.1.0 with clear upgrade instructions

+# ADR-034: Full-Text Search with SQLite FTS5
+
+## Status
+Proposed
+
+## Context
+Users need the ability to search through their notes efficiently. Currently, finding specific content requires manually browsing through notes or using external tools. A built-in search capability is essential for any content management system, especially as the number of notes grows.
+
+Requirements:
+- Fast search across all note content
+- Support for phrase searching and boolean operators
+- Ranking by relevance
+- Minimal performance impact on write operations
+- No external dependencies (Elasticsearch, Solr, etc.)
+- Works with existing SQLite database
+
+## Decision
+Implement full-text search using SQLite's FTS5 (Full-Text Search version 5) extension:
+
+1. **FTS5 Virtual Table**: Create a shadow FTS table that indexes note content
+2. **Synchronized Updates**: Keep FTS index in sync with note operations
+3. **Search Endpoint**: New `/api/search` endpoint for queries
+4. **Search UI**: Simple search interface in the web UI
+5. **Advanced Operators**: Support FTS5's query syntax for power users
+
+Database schema:
+```sql
+-- FTS5 virtual table for note content
+CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE IF NOT EXISTS notes_fts USING fts5(
+    slug UNINDEXED,  -- For result retrieval, not searchable
+    title,           -- Note title (first line)
+    content,         -- Full markdown content
+    tokenize='porter unicode61'  -- Stem words, handle unicode
+);
+
+-- Trigger to keep FTS in sync with notes table
+CREATE TRIGGER notes_fts_insert AFTER INSERT ON notes
+BEGIN
+    INSERT INTO notes_fts (rowid, slug, title, content)
+    SELECT id, slug, title_from_content(content), content
+    FROM notes WHERE id = NEW.id;
+END;
+
+-- Similar triggers for UPDATE and DELETE
+```
+
+## Rationale
+SQLite FTS5 is the optimal choice because:
+
+1. **Native Integration**: Built into SQLite, no external dependencies
+2. **Performance**: Highly optimized C implementation
+3. **Features**: Rich query syntax (phrases, NEAR, boolean, wildcards)
+4. **Ranking**: Built-in BM25 ranking algorithm
+5. **Simplicity**: Just another table in our existing database
+6. **Maintenance-free**: No separate search service to manage
+7. **Size**: Minimal storage overhead (~30% of original text)
+
+Query capabilities:
+- Simple terms: `indieweb`
+- Phrases: `"static site"`
+- Wildcards: `micro*`
+- Boolean: `micropub OR websub`
+- Exclusions: `indieweb NOT wordpress`
+- Field-specific: `title:announcement`
+
+## Consequences
+### Positive
+- Powerful search with zero external dependencies
+- Fast queries even with thousands of notes
+- Rich query syntax for power users
+- Automatic stemming (search "running" finds "run", "runs")
+- Unicode support for international content
+- Integrates seamlessly with existing SQLite database
+
+### Negative
+- FTS index increases database size by ~30%
+- Initial indexing of existing notes required
+- Must maintain sync triggers for consistency
+- FTS5 requires SQLite 3.9.0+ (2015, widely available)
+- Cannot search in encrypted/binary content
+
+### Performance Characteristics
+- Index build: ~1ms per note
+- Search query: <10ms for 10,000 notes
+- Index size: ~30% of indexed text
+- Write overhead: ~5% increase in note creation time
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### Alternative 1: Simple LIKE Queries
+```sql
+SELECT * FROM notes WHERE content LIKE '%search term%'
+```
+- **Pros**: No setup, works today
+- **Cons**: Extremely slow on large datasets, no ranking, no advanced features
+- **Rejected because**: Performance degrades quickly with scale
+
+### Alternative 2: External Search Service (Elasticsearch/Meilisearch)
+- **Pros**: More features, dedicated search infrastructure
+- **Cons**: External dependency, complex setup, overkill for single-user CMS
+- **Rejected because**: Violates minimal philosophy, adds operational complexity
+
+### Alternative 3: Client-Side Search (Lunr.js)
+- **Pros**: No server changes needed
+- **Cons**: Must download all content to browser, doesn't scale
+- **Rejected because**: Impractical beyond a few hundred notes
+
+### Alternative 4: Regex/Grep-based Search
+- **Pros**: Powerful pattern matching
+- **Cons**: Slow, no ranking, must read all files from disk
+- **Rejected because**: Poor performance, no relevance ranking
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### Phase 1: Database Schema (2 hours)
+1. Add FTS5 table creation to migrations
+2. Create sync triggers for INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE
+3. Build initial index from existing notes
+4. Test sync on note operations
+
+### Phase 2: Search API (2 hours)
+1. Create `/api/search` endpoint
+2. Implement query parser and validation
+3. Add result ranking and pagination
+4. Return structured results with snippets
+
+### Phase 3: Search UI (1 hour)
+1. Add search box to navigation
+2. Create search results page
+3. Highlight matching terms in results
+4. Add search query syntax help
+
+### Phase 4: Testing (1 hour)
+1. Test with various query types
+2. Benchmark with large datasets
+3. Verify sync triggers work correctly
+4. Test Unicode and special characters
+
+## API Design
+
+### Search Endpoint
+```
+GET /api/search?q={query}&limit=20&offset=0
+
+Response:
+{
+    "query": "indieweb micropub",
+    "total": 15,
+    "results": [
+        {
+            "slug": "implementing-micropub",
+            "title": "Implementing Micropub",
+            "snippet": "...the <mark>IndieWeb</mark> <mark>Micropub</mark> specification...",
+            "rank": 2.4,
+            "published": true,
+            "created_at": "2024-01-15T10:00:00Z"
+        }
+    ]
+}
+```
+
+### Query Syntax Examples
+- `indieweb` - Find notes containing "indieweb"
+- `"static site"` - Exact phrase
+- `micro*` - Prefix search
+- `title:announcement` - Search in title only
+- `micropub OR websub` - Boolean operators
+- `indieweb -wordpress` - Exclusion
+
+## Security Considerations
+1. Sanitize queries to prevent SQL injection (FTS5 handles this)
+2. Rate limit search endpoint to prevent abuse
+3. Only search published notes for anonymous users
+4. Escape HTML in snippets to prevent XSS
+
+## Migration Strategy
+1. Check SQLite version supports FTS5 (3.9.0+)
+2. Create FTS table and triggers in migration
+3. Build initial index from existing notes
+4. Monitor index size and performance
+5. Document search syntax for users

+# ADR-035: Custom Slugs in Micropub
+
+## Status
+Proposed
+
+## Context
+Currently, StarPunk auto-generates slugs from note content (first 5 words). While this works well for most cases, users may want to specify custom slugs for:
+- SEO-friendly URLs
+- Memorable short links
+- Maintaining URL structure from migrated content
+- Creating hierarchical paths (e.g., `2024/11/my-note`)
+- Personal preference and control
+
+The Micropub specification supports custom slugs via the `mp-slug` property, which we should honor.
+
+## Decision
+Implement custom slug support through the Micropub endpoint:
+
+1. **Accept mp-slug**: Process the `mp-slug` property in Micropub requests
+2. **Validation**: Ensure slugs are URL-safe and unique
+3. **Fallback**: Auto-generate if no slug provided or if invalid
+4. **Conflict Resolution**: Handle duplicate slugs gracefully
+5. **Character Restrictions**: Allow only URL-safe characters
+
+Implementation approach:
+```python
+def process_micropub_request(request_data):
+    # Extract custom slug if provided
+    custom_slug = request_data.get('properties', {}).get('mp-slug', [None])[0]
+
+    if custom_slug:
+        # Validate and sanitize
+        slug = sanitize_slug(custom_slug)
+
+        # Ensure uniqueness
+        if slug_exists(slug):
+            # Add suffix or reject based on configuration
+            slug = make_unique(slug)
+    else:
+        # Fall back to auto-generation
+        slug = generate_slug(content)
+
+    return create_note(content, slug=slug)
+```
+
+## Rationale
+Supporting custom slugs provides:
+
+1. **User Control**: Authors can define meaningful URLs
+2. **Standards Compliance**: Follows Micropub specification
+3. **Migration Support**: Easier to preserve URLs when migrating
+4. **SEO Benefits**: Human-readable URLs improve discoverability
+5. **Flexibility**: Accommodates different URL strategies
+6. **Backward Compatible**: Existing auto-generation continues working
+
+Validation rules:
+- Maximum length: 200 characters
+- Allowed characters: `a-z0-9-_/`
+- No consecutive slashes or dashes
+- No leading/trailing special characters
+- Case-insensitive uniqueness check
+
+## Consequences
+### Positive
+- Full Micropub compliance for slug handling
+- Better user experience and control
+- SEO-friendly URLs when desired
+- Easier content migration from other platforms
+- Maintains backward compatibility
+
+### Negative
+- Additional validation complexity
+- Potential for user confusion with conflicts
+- Must handle edge cases (empty, invalid, duplicate)
+- Slightly more complex note creation logic
+
+### Security Considerations
+1. **Path Traversal**: Reject slugs containing `..` or absolute paths
+2. **Reserved Names**: Block system routes (`api`, `admin`, `feed`, etc.)
+3. **Length Limits**: Enforce maximum slug length
+4. **Character Filtering**: Strip or reject dangerous characters
+5. **Case Sensitivity**: Normalize to lowercase for consistency
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### Alternative 1: No Custom Slugs
+- **Pros**: Simpler, no validation needed
+- **Cons**: Poor user experience, non-compliant with Micropub
+- **Rejected because**: Users expect URL control in modern CMS
+
+### Alternative 2: Separate Slug Field in UI
+- **Pros**: More discoverable for web users
+- **Cons**: Doesn't help API users, not Micropub standard
+- **Rejected because**: Should follow established standards
+
+### Alternative 3: Slugs Only via Direct API
+- **Pros**: Advanced feature for power users only
+- **Cons**: Inconsistent experience, limits adoption
+- **Rejected because**: Micropub clients expect this feature
+
+### Alternative 4: Hierarchical Slugs (`/2024/11/25/my-note`)
+- **Pros**: Organized structure, date-based archives
+- **Cons**: Complex routing, harder to implement
+- **Rejected because**: Can add later if needed, start simple
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### Phase 1: Core Logic (2 hours)
+1. Modify note creation to accept optional slug parameter
+2. Implement slug validation and sanitization
+3. Add uniqueness checking with conflict resolution
+4. Update database schema if needed (no changes expected)
+
+### Phase 2: Micropub Integration (1 hour)
+1. Extract `mp-slug` from Micropub requests
+2. Pass to note creation function
+3. Handle validation errors appropriately
+4. Return proper Micropub responses
+
+### Phase 3: Testing (1 hour)
+1. Test valid custom slugs
+2. Test invalid characters and patterns
+3. Test duplicate slug handling
+4. Test with Micropub clients
+5. Test auto-generation fallback
+
+## Validation Specification
+
+### Allowed Slug Format
+```regex
+^[a-z0-9]+(?:-[a-z0-9]+)*(?:/[a-z0-9]+(?:-[a-z0-9]+)*)*$
+```
+
+Examples:
+- ✅ `my-awesome-post`
+- ✅ `2024/11/25/daily-note`
+- ✅ `projects/starpunk/update-1`
+- ❌ `My-Post` (uppercase)
+- ❌ `my--post` (consecutive dashes)
+- ❌ `-my-post` (leading dash)
+- ❌ `my_post` (underscore not allowed)
+- ❌ `../../../etc/passwd` (path traversal)
+
+### Reserved Slugs
+The following slugs are reserved and cannot be used:
+- System routes: `api`, `admin`, `auth`, `feed`, `static`
+- Special pages: `login`, `logout`, `settings`
+- File extensions: Slugs ending in `.xml`, `.json`, `.html`
+
+### Conflict Resolution Strategy
+When a duplicate slug is detected:
+1. Append `-2`, `-3`, etc. to make unique
+2. Check up to `-99` before failing
+3. Return error if no unique slug found in 99 attempts
+
+Example:
+- Request: `mp-slug=my-note`
+- Exists: `my-note`
+- Created: `my-note-2`
+
+## API Examples
+
+### Micropub Request with Custom Slug
+```http
+POST /micropub
+Content-Type: application/json
+Authorization: Bearer {token}
+
+{
+    "type": ["h-entry"],
+    "properties": {
+        "content": ["My awesome post content"],
+        "mp-slug": ["my-awesome-post"]
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Response
+```http
+HTTP/1.1 201 Created
+Location: https://example.com/note/my-awesome-post
+```
+
+### Invalid Slug Handling
+```http
+HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+```
+
+## Migration Notes
+1. Existing notes keep their auto-generated slugs
+2. No database migration required (slug field exists)
+3. No breaking changes to API
+4. Existing clients continue working without modification

+# ADR-036: IndieAuth Token Verification Method Diagnosis
+
+## Status
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+StarPunk is experiencing HTTP 405 Method Not Allowed errors when verifying tokens with the external IndieAuth provider (gondulf.thesatelliteoflove.com). The user questioned "why are we making GET requests to these endpoints?"
+
+Error from logs:
+```
+[2025-11-25 03:29:50] WARNING: Token verification failed:
+  Verification failed: Unexpected response: HTTP 405
+```
+
+## Investigation Results
+
+### What the IndieAuth Spec Says
+According to the W3C IndieAuth specification (Section 6.3.4 - Token Verification):
+- Token verification MUST use a **GET request** to the token endpoint
+- The request must include an Authorization header with Bearer token format
+- This is explicitly different from token issuance, which uses POST
+
+### What Our Code Does
+Our implementation in `starpunk/auth_external.py` (line 425):
+- **Correctly** uses GET for token verification
+- **Correctly** sends Authorization: Bearer header
+- **Correctly** follows the IndieAuth specification
+
+### Why the 405 Error Occurs
+HTTP 405 Method Not Allowed means the server doesn't support the HTTP method (GET) for the requested resource. This indicates that the gondulf IndieAuth provider is **not implementing the IndieAuth specification correctly**.
+
+## Decision
+Our implementation is correct. We are making GET requests because:
+1. The IndieAuth spec explicitly requires GET for token verification
+2. This distinguishes verification (GET) from token issuance (POST)
+3. This is a standard pattern in OAuth-like protocols
+
+## Rationale
+
+### Why GET for Verification?
+The IndieAuth spec uses different HTTP methods for different operations:
+- **POST** for state-changing operations (issuing tokens, revoking tokens)
+- **GET** for read-only operations (verifying tokens)
+
+This follows RESTful principles where:
+- GET is idempotent and safe (doesn't modify server state)
+- POST creates or modifies resources
+
+### The Problem
+The gondulf IndieAuth provider appears to only support POST on its token endpoint, not implementing the full IndieAuth specification which requires both:
+- POST for token issuance (Section 6.3)
+- GET for token verification (Section 6.3.4)
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Immediate Impact
+- StarPunk cannot verify tokens with gondulf.thesatelliteoflove.com
+- The provider needs to be fixed to support GET requests for verification
+- Our code is correct and should NOT be changed
+
+### Potential Solutions
+1. **Provider Fix** (Recommended): The gondulf IndieAuth provider should implement GET support for token verification per spec
+2. **Provider Switch**: Use a compliant IndieAuth provider that fully implements the specification
+3. **Non-Compliant Mode** (Not Recommended): Add a workaround to use POST for verification with non-compliant providers
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### Alternative 1: Use POST for Verification
+- **Rejected**: Violates IndieAuth specification
+- Would make StarPunk non-compliant
+- Would create confusion about proper IndieAuth implementation
+
+### Alternative 2: Support Both GET and POST
+- **Rejected**: Adds complexity without benefit
+- The spec is clear: GET is required
+- Supporting non-standard behavior encourages poor implementations
+
+### Alternative 3: Document Provider Requirements
+- **Accepted as Additional Action**: We should clearly document that StarPunk requires IndieAuth providers that fully implement the W3C specification
+
+## Technical Details
+
+### Correct Token Verification Flow
+```
+Client → GET /token
+         Authorization: Bearer {token}
+
+Server → 200 OK
+         {
+           "me": "https://user.example.net/",
+           "client_id": "https://app.example.com/",
+           "scope": "create update"
+         }
+```
+
+### What Gondulf Is Doing Wrong
+```
+Client → GET /token
+         Authorization: Bearer {token}
+
+Server → 405 Method Not Allowed
+         (Server only accepts POST)
+```

+# ADR-022: Database Migration Race Condition Resolution
+
+## Status
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+
+In production, StarPunk runs with multiple gunicorn workers (currently 4). Each worker process independently initializes the Flask application through `create_app()`, which calls `init_db()`, which in turn runs database migrations via `run_migrations()`.
+
+When the container starts fresh, all 4 workers start simultaneously and attempt to:
+1. Create the `schema_migrations` table
+2. Apply pending migrations
+3. Insert records into `schema_migrations`
+
+This causes a race condition where:
+- Worker 1 successfully applies migration and inserts record
+- Workers 2-4 fail with "UNIQUE constraint failed: schema_migrations.migration_name"
+- Failed workers crash, causing container restarts
+- After restart, migrations are already applied so it works
+
+## Decision
+
+We will implement **database-level advisory locking** using SQLite's transaction mechanism with IMMEDIATE mode, combined with retry logic. This approach:
+
+1. Uses SQLite's built-in `BEGIN IMMEDIATE` transaction to acquire a write lock
+2. Implements exponential backoff retry for workers that can't acquire the lock
+3. Ensures only one worker can run migrations at a time
+4. Other workers wait and verify migrations are complete
+
+This is the simplest, most robust solution that:
+- Requires minimal code changes
+- Uses SQLite's native capabilities
+- Doesn't require external dependencies
+- Works across all deployment scenarios
+
+## Rationale
+
+### Options Considered
+
+1. **File-based locking (fcntl)**
+   - Pro: Simple to implement
+   - Con: Doesn't work across containers/network filesystems
+   - Con: Lock files can be orphaned if process crashes
+
+2. **Run migrations before workers start**
+   - Pro: Cleanest separation of concerns
+   - Con: Requires container entrypoint script changes
+   - Con: Complicates development workflow
+   - Con: Doesn't fix the root cause for non-container deployments
+
+3. **Make migration insertion idempotent (INSERT OR IGNORE)**
+   - Pro: Simple SQL change
+   - Con: Doesn't prevent parallel migration execution
+   - Con: Could corrupt database if migrations partially apply
+   - Con: Masks the real problem
+
+4. **Database advisory locking (CHOSEN)**
+   - Pro: Uses SQLite's native transaction locking
+   - Pro: Guaranteed atomicity
+   - Pro: Works across all deployment scenarios
+   - Pro: Self-cleaning (no orphaned locks)
+   - Con: Requires retry logic
+
+### Why Database Locking?
+
+SQLite's `BEGIN IMMEDIATE` transaction mode acquires a RESERVED lock immediately, preventing other connections from writing. This provides:
+
+1. **Atomicity**: Either all migrations apply or none do
+2. **Isolation**: Only one worker can modify schema at a time
+3. **Automatic cleanup**: Locks released on connection close/crash
+4. **No external dependencies**: Uses SQLite's built-in features
+
+## Implementation
+
+The fix will be implemented in `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/starpunk/migrations.py`:
+
+```python
+def run_migrations(db_path, logger=None):
+    """Run all pending database migrations with concurrency protection"""
+
+    max_retries = 10
+    retry_count = 0
+    base_delay = 0.1  # 100ms
+
+    while retry_count < max_retries:
+        try:
+            conn = sqlite3.connect(db_path, timeout=30.0)
+
+            # Acquire exclusive lock for migrations
+            conn.execute("BEGIN IMMEDIATE")
+
+            try:
+                # Create migrations table if needed
+                create_migrations_table(conn)
+
+                # Check if another worker already ran migrations
+                cursor = conn.execute("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM schema_migrations")
+                if cursor.fetchone()[0] > 0:
+                    # Migrations already run by another worker
+                    conn.commit()
+                    logger.info("Migrations already applied by another worker")
+                    return
+
+                # Run migration logic (existing code)
+                # ... rest of migration code ...
+
+                conn.commit()
+                return  # Success
+
+            except Exception:
+                conn.rollback()
+                raise
+
+        except sqlite3.OperationalError as e:
+            if "database is locked" in str(e):
+                retry_count += 1
+                delay = base_delay * (2 ** retry_count) + random.uniform(0, 0.1)
+
+                if retry_count < max_retries:
+                    logger.debug(f"Database locked, retry {retry_count}/{max_retries} in {delay:.2f}s")
+                    time.sleep(delay)
+                else:
+                    raise MigrationError(f"Failed to acquire migration lock after {max_retries} attempts")
+            else:
+                raise
+
+        finally:
+            if conn:
+                conn.close()
+```
+
+Additional changes needed:
+
+1. Add imports: `import time`, `import random`
+2. Modify connection timeout from default 5s to 30s
+3. Add early check for already-applied migrations
+4. Wrap entire migration process in IMMEDIATE transaction
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+- Eliminates race condition completely
+- No container configuration changes needed
+- Works in all deployment scenarios (container, systemd, manual)
+- Minimal code changes (~50 lines)
+- Self-healing (no manual lock cleanup needed)
+- Provides clear logging of what's happening
+
+### Negative
+- Slight startup delay for workers that wait (100ms-2s typical)
+- Adds complexity to migration runner
+- Requires careful testing of retry logic
+
+### Neutral
+- Workers start sequentially for migration phase, then run in parallel
+- First worker to acquire lock runs migrations for all
+- Log output will show retry attempts (useful for debugging)
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+1. **Unit test with mock**: Test retry logic with simulated lock contention
+2. **Integration test**: Spawn multiple processes, verify only one runs migrations
+3. **Container test**: Build container, verify clean startup with 4 workers
+4. **Stress test**: Start 20 processes simultaneously, verify correctness
+
+## Migration Path
+
+1. Implement fix in `starpunk/migrations.py`
+2. Test locally with multiple workers
+3. Build and test container
+4. Deploy as v1.0.0-rc.4 or hotfix v1.0.0-rc.3.1
+5. Monitor production logs for retry patterns
+
+## Implementation Notes (Post-Analysis)
+
+Based on comprehensive architectural review, the following clarifications have been established:
+
+### Critical Implementation Details
+
+1. **Connection Management**: Create NEW connection for each retry attempt (no reuse)
+2. **Lock Mode**: Use BEGIN IMMEDIATE (not EXCLUSIVE) for optimal concurrency
+3. **Timeout Strategy**: 30s per connection attempt, 120s total maximum duration
+4. **Logging Levels**: Graduated (DEBUG for retry 1-3, INFO for 4-7, WARNING for 8+)
+5. **Transaction Boundaries**: Separate transactions for schema/migrations/data
+
+### Test Requirements
+
+- Unit tests with multiprocessing.Pool
+- Integration tests with actual gunicorn
+- Container tests with full deployment
+- Performance target: <500ms with 4 workers

+# ADR-022: Multiple Syndication Format Support
+
+## Status
+Proposed
+
+## Context
+StarPunk currently provides RSS 2.0 feed generation using the feedgen library. The IndieWeb community and modern feed readers increasingly support additional syndication formats:
+- ATOM feeds (RFC 4287) - W3C/IETF standard XML format
+- JSON Feed (v1.1) - Modern JSON-based format gaining adoption
+- Microformats2 - Already partially implemented for IndieWeb parsing
+
+Multiple syndication formats increase content reach and client compatibility.
+
+## Decision
+Implement ATOM and JSON Feed support alongside existing RSS 2.0, maintaining all three formats in parallel.
+
+## Rationale
+1. **Low Implementation Complexity**: The feedgen library already supports ATOM generation with minimal code changes
+2. **JSON Feed Simplicity**: JSON structure maps directly to our Note model, easier than XML
+3. **Standards Alignment**: Both formats are well-specified and stable
+4. **User Choice**: Different clients prefer different formats
+5. **Minimal Maintenance**: Once implemented, feed formats rarely change
+
+## Consequences
+### Positive
+- Broader client compatibility
+- Better IndieWeb ecosystem integration
+- Leverages existing feedgen dependency for ATOM
+- JSON Feed provides modern alternative to XML
+
+### Negative
+- Three feed endpoints to maintain
+- Slightly increased test surface
+- Additional routes in API
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+1. **Single Universal Format**: Rejected - different clients have different preferences
+2. **Content Negotiation**: Too complex for minimal benefit
+3. **Plugin System**: Over-engineering for 3 stable formats
+
+## Implementation Approach
+1. ATOM: Use feedgen's built-in ATOM support (5-10 lines different from RSS)
+2. JSON Feed: Direct serialization from Note models (~50 lines)
+3. Routes: `/feed.xml` (RSS), `/feed.atom` (ATOM), `/feed.json` (JSON)
+
+## Effort Estimate
+- ATOM Feed: 2-4 hours (mostly testing)
+- JSON Feed: 4-6 hours (new serialization logic)
+- Tests & Documentation: 2-3 hours
+- Total: 8-13 hours

+# ADR-039: Micropub URL Construction Fix
+
+## Status
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+After the v1.0.0 release, a bug was discovered in the Micropub implementation where the Location header returned after creating a post contains a double slash:
+
+- **Expected**: `https://starpunk.thesatelliteoflove.com/notes/so-starpunk-v100-is-complete`
+- **Actual**: `https://starpunk.thesatelliteoflove.com//notes/so-starpunk-v100-is-complete`
+
+### Root Cause Analysis
+The issue occurs due to a mismatch between how SITE_URL is stored and used:
+
+1. **Configuration Storage** (`starpunk/config.py`):
+   - SITE_URL is normalized to always end with a trailing slash (lines 26, 92)
+   - This is required for IndieAuth/OAuth specs where root URLs must have trailing slashes
+   - Example: `https://starpunk.thesatelliteoflove.com/`
+
+2. **URL Construction** (`starpunk/micropub.py`):
+   - Constructs URLs using: `f"{site_url}/notes/{note.slug}"` (lines 311, 381)
+   - This adds a leading slash to the path segment
+   - Results in: `https://starpunk.thesatelliteoflove.com/` + `/notes/...` = double slash
+
+3. **Inconsistent Handling**:
+   - RSS feed module (`starpunk/feed.py`) correctly strips trailing slash before use (line 77)
+   - Micropub module doesn't handle this, causing the bug
+
+## Decision
+Fix the URL construction in the Micropub module by removing the leading slash from the path segment. This maintains the trailing slash convention in SITE_URL while ensuring correct URL construction.
+
+### Implementation Approach
+Change the URL construction pattern from:
+```python
+permalink = f"{site_url}/notes/{note.slug}"
+```
+
+To:
+```python
+permalink = f"{site_url}notes/{note.slug}"
+```
+
+This works because SITE_URL is guaranteed to have a trailing slash.
+
+### Affected Code Locations
+1. `starpunk/micropub.py` line 311 - Location header in `handle_create`
+2. `starpunk/micropub.py` line 381 - URL in Microformats2 response in `handle_query`
+
+## Rationale
+
+### Why Not Strip the Trailing Slash?
+We could follow the RSS feed approach and strip the trailing slash:
+```python
+site_url = site_url.rstrip("/")
+permalink = f"{site_url}/notes/{note.slug}"
+```
+
+However, this approach has downsides:
+- Adds unnecessary processing to every request
+- Creates inconsistency with how SITE_URL is used elsewhere
+- The trailing slash is intentionally added for IndieAuth compliance
+
+### Why This Solution?
+- **Minimal change**: Only modifies the string literal, not the logic
+- **Consistent**: SITE_URL remains normalized with trailing slash throughout
+- **Efficient**: No runtime string manipulation needed
+- **Clear intent**: The code explicitly shows we expect SITE_URL to end with `/`
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+- Fixes the immediate bug with minimal code changes
+- No configuration changes required
+- No database migrations needed
+- Backward compatible - doesn't break existing data
+- Fast to implement and test
+
+### Negative
+- Developers must remember that SITE_URL has a trailing slash
+- Could be confusing without documentation
+- Potential for similar bugs if pattern isn't followed elsewhere
+
+### Mitigation
+- Add a comment at each URL construction site explaining the trailing slash convention
+- Consider adding a utility function in future versions for URL construction
+- Document the SITE_URL trailing slash convention clearly
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### 1. Strip Trailing Slash at Usage Site
+```python
+site_url = current_app.config.get("SITE_URL", "http://localhost:5000").rstrip("/")
+permalink = f"{site_url}/notes/{note.slug}"
+```
+- **Pros**: More explicit, follows RSS feed pattern
+- **Cons**: Extra processing, inconsistent with config intention
+
+### 2. Remove Trailing Slash from Configuration
+Modify `config.py` to not add trailing slashes to SITE_URL.
+- **Pros**: Simpler URL construction
+- **Cons**: Breaks IndieAuth spec compliance, requires migration for existing deployments
+
+### 3. Create URL Builder Utility
+```python
+def build_url(base, *segments):
+    """Build URL from base and path segments"""
+    return "/".join([base.rstrip("/")] + list(segments))
+```
+- **Pros**: Centralized URL construction, prevents future bugs
+- **Cons**: Over-engineering for a simple fix, adds unnecessary abstraction for v1.0.1
+
+### 4. Use urllib.parse.urljoin
+```python
+from urllib.parse import urljoin
+permalink = urljoin(site_url, f"notes/{note.slug}")
+```
+- **Pros**: Standard library solution, handles edge cases
+- **Cons**: Adds import, slightly less readable, overkill for this use case
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+### Version Impact
+- Current version: v1.0.0
+- Fix version: v1.0.1 (PATCH increment - backward-compatible bug fix)
+
+### Testing Requirements
+1. Verify Location header has single slash
+2. Test with various SITE_URL configurations (with/without trailing slash)
+3. Ensure RSS feed still works correctly
+4. Check all other URL constructions in the codebase
+
+### Release Type
+This qualifies as a **hotfix** because:
+- It fixes a bug in production (v1.0.0)
+- The fix is isolated and low-risk
+- No new features or breaking changes
+- Critical for proper Micropub client operation

+# ADR-023: Strict Microformats2 Compliance
+
+## Status
+Proposed
+
+## Context
+StarPunk currently implements basic microformats2 markup:
+- h-entry on note articles
+- e-content for note content
+- dt-published for timestamps
+- u-url for permalinks
+
+"Strict" microformats2 compliance would add comprehensive markup for full IndieWeb interoperability, enabling better parsing by readers, Webmention receivers, and IndieWeb tools.
+
+## Decision
+Enhance existing templates with complete microformats2 vocabulary, focusing on h-entry, h-card, and h-feed structures.
+
+## Rationale
+1. **Core IndieWeb Requirement**: Microformats2 is fundamental to IndieWeb data exchange
+2. **Template-Only Changes**: No backend modifications required
+3. **Progressive Enhancement**: Adds semantic value without breaking existing functionality
+4. **Standards Maturity**: Microformats2 spec is stable and well-documented
+5. **Testing Tools Available**: Validators exist for compliance verification
+
+## Consequences
+### Positive
+- Full IndieWeb parser compatibility
+- Better social reader integration
+- Improved SEO through semantic markup
+- Enables future Webmention support (v1.3.0)
+
+### Negative
+- More complex HTML templates
+- Careful CSS selector management needed
+- Testing requires microformats2 parser
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+1. **Minimal Compliance**: Current state - rejected as incomplete for IndieWeb tools
+2. **Microdata/RDFa**: Not IndieWeb standard, adds complexity
+3. **JSON-LD**: Additional complexity, not IndieWeb native
+
+## Implementation Scope
+### Required Markup
+1. **h-entry** (complete):
+   - p-name (title extraction)
+   - p-summary (excerpt)
+   - p-category (when tags added)
+   - p-author with embedded h-card
+
+2. **h-card** (author):
+   - p-name (author name)
+   - u-url (author URL)
+   - u-photo (avatar, optional)
+
+3. **h-feed** (index pages):
+   - p-name (feed title)
+   - p-author (feed author)
+   - Nested h-entry items
+
+### Template Updates Required
+- `/templates/base.html` - Add h-card in header
+- `/templates/index.html` - Add h-feed wrapper
+- `/templates/note.html` - Complete h-entry properties
+- `/templates/partials/note_summary.html` - Create for consistent h-entry
+
+## Effort Estimate
+- Template Analysis: 2-3 hours
+- Markup Implementation: 4-6 hours
+- CSS Compatibility Check: 1-2 hours
+- Testing with mf2 parser: 2-3 hours
+- Documentation: 1-2 hours
+- Total: 10-16 hours

+# ADR-027: Versioning Strategy for Authorization Server Removal
+
+## Status
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+We have identified that the authorization server functionality added in v1.0.0-rc.1 was architectural over-engineering. The implementation includes:
+- Token endpoint (`POST /indieauth/token`)
+- Authorization endpoint (`POST /indieauth/authorize`)
+- Token verification endpoint (`GET /indieauth/token`)
+- Database tables: `tokens`, `authorization_codes`
+- Complex OAuth 2.0/PKCE flows
+
+This violates our core principle: "Every line of code must justify its existence." StarPunk V1 only needs authentication (identity verification), not authorization (access tokens). The Micropub endpoint can work with simpler admin session authentication.
+
+We are currently at version `1.0.0-rc.3` (release candidate). The question is: what version number should we use when removing this functionality?
+
+## Decision
+**Continue with release candidates and fix before 1.0.0 final: `1.0.0-rc.4`**
+
+We will:
+1. Create version `1.0.0-rc.4` that removes the authorization server
+2. Continue iterating through release candidates until the system is truly minimal
+3. Only release `1.0.0` final when we have achieved the correct architecture
+4. Consider this part of the release candidate testing process
+
+## Rationale
+
+### Why Not Jump to 2.0.0?
+While removing features is technically a breaking change that would normally require a major version bump, we are still in release candidate phase. Release candidates explicitly exist to identify and fix issues before the final release. The "1.0.0" milestone has not been officially released yet.
+
+### Why Not Go Back to 0.x?
+Moving backward from 1.0.0-rc.3 to 0.x would be confusing and violate semantic versioning principles. Version numbers should always move forward. Additionally, the core functionality (IndieAuth authentication, Micropub, RSS) is production-ready - it's just over-engineered.
+
+### Why Release Candidates Are Perfect For This
+Release candidates serve exactly this purpose:
+- Testing reveals issues (in this case, architectural over-engineering)
+- Problems are fixed before the final release
+- Multiple RC versions are normal and expected
+- Users of RCs understand they are testing pre-release software
+
+### Semantic Versioning Compliance
+Per SemVer 2.0.0 specification:
+- Pre-release versions (like `-rc.3`) indicate unstable software
+- Changes between pre-release versions don't require major version bumps
+- The version precedence is: `1.0.0-rc.3 < 1.0.0-rc.4 < 1.0.0`
+- This is the standard pattern: fix issues in RCs, then release final
+
+### Honest Communication
+The version progression tells a clear story:
+- `1.0.0-rc.1`: First attempt at V1 feature complete
+- `1.0.0-rc.2`: Bug fixes for migration issues
+- `1.0.0-rc.3`: More migration fixes
+- `1.0.0-rc.4`: Architectural correction - remove unnecessary complexity
+- `1.0.0`: Final, minimal, production-ready release
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+- Maintains forward version progression
+- Uses release candidates for their intended purpose
+- Avoids confusing version number changes
+- Clearly communicates that 1.0.0 final is the stable release
+- Allows multiple iterations to achieve true minimalism
+- Sets precedent that we'll fix architectural issues before declaring "1.0"
+
+### Negative
+- Users of RC versions will experience breaking changes
+- Might need multiple additional RCs (rc.5, rc.6) if more issues found
+- Some might see many RCs as a sign of instability
+
+### Migration Path
+Users on 1.0.0-rc.1, rc.2, or rc.3 will need to:
+1. Backup their database
+2. Update to 1.0.0-rc.4
+3. Run migrations (which will clean up unused tables)
+4. Update any Micropub clients to use session auth instead of bearer tokens
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### Option 1: Jump to v2.0.0
+- **Rejected**: We haven't released 1.0.0 final yet, so there's nothing to major-version bump from
+
+### Option 2: Release 1.0.0 then immediately 2.0.0
+- **Rejected**: Releasing a known over-engineered 1.0.0 violates our principles
+
+### Option 3: Go back to 0.x series
+- **Rejected**: Version numbers must move forward, this would confuse everyone
+
+### Option 4: Use 1.0.0-alpha or 1.0.0-beta
+- **Rejected**: We're already in RC phase, moving backward in stability indicators is wrong
+
+### Option 5: Skip to 1.0.0 final with changes
+- **Rejected**: Would surprise RC users with breaking changes in what should be a stable release
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+1. **Version 1.0.0-rc.4**:
+   - Remove authorization server components
+   - Update Micropub to use session authentication
+   - Add migration to drop unnecessary tables
+   - Update all documentation
+   - Clear changelog entry explaining the architectural correction
+
+2. **Potential 1.0.0-rc.5+**:
+   - Fix any issues discovered in rc.4
+   - Continue refining until truly minimal
+
+3. **Version 1.0.0 Final**:
+   - Release only when architecture is correct
+   - No over-engineering
+   - Every line justified

+
+### Removed
+- **Authorization Server**: Removed unnecessary OAuth 2.0 authorization server
+  - Removed token endpoint (`POST /indieauth/token`)
+  - Removed authorization endpoint (`POST /indieauth/authorize`)
+  - Removed token verification endpoint (`GET /indieauth/token`)
+  - Removed `tokens` and `authorization_codes` database tables
+  - Removed PKCE verification for authorization code exchange
+  - Removed bearer token authentication
+
+### Changed
+- **Micropub Simplified**: Now uses admin session authentication
+  - Micropub endpoint only accessible to authenticated admin user
+  - Removed scope validation (unnecessary for single-user system)
+  - Simplified to basic POST endpoint with session check
+
+### Fixed
+- **Architectural Over-Engineering**: Returned to minimal implementation
+  - V1 only needs authentication, not authorization
+  - Single-user system doesn't need OAuth 2.0 token complexity
+  - Follows core principle: "Every line must justify its existence"
+
+### Migration Notes
+- This is a breaking change for anyone using bearer tokens with Micropub
+- Micropub clients must authenticate via IndieAuth login flow
+- Database migration will drop `tokens` and `authorization_codes` tables
+- Existing sessions remain valid
+```
+
+## Conclusion
+
+Version **1.0.0-rc.4** is the correct choice. It:
+- Uses release candidates for their intended purpose
+- Maintains semantic versioning compliance
+- Communicates honestly about the development process
+- Allows us to achieve true minimalism before declaring 1.0.0
+
+The lesson learned: Release candidates are valuable for discovering not just bugs, but architectural issues. We'll continue iterating through RCs until StarPunk truly embodies minimal, elegant simplicity.

+# ADR-043-CORRECTED: IndieAuth Endpoint Discovery Architecture
+
+## Status
+Accepted (Replaces incorrect understanding in previous ADR-030)
+
+## Context
+
+I fundamentally misunderstood IndieAuth endpoint discovery. I incorrectly recommended hardcoding token endpoints like `https://tokens.indieauth.com/token` in configuration. This violates the core principle of IndieAuth: **user sovereignty over authentication endpoints**.
+
+IndieAuth uses **dynamic endpoint discovery** - endpoints are NEVER hardcoded. They are discovered from the user's profile URL at runtime.
+
+## The Correct IndieAuth Flow
+
+### How IndieAuth Actually Works
+
+1. **User Identity**: A user is identified by their URL (e.g., `https://alice.example.com/`)
+2. **Endpoint Discovery**: Endpoints are discovered FROM that URL
+3. **Provider Choice**: The user chooses their provider by linking to it from their profile
+4. **Dynamic Verification**: Token verification uses the discovered endpoint, not a hardcoded one
+
+### Example Flow
+
+When alice authenticates:
+```
+1. Alice tries to sign in with: https://alice.example.com/
+2. Client fetches https://alice.example.com/
+3. Client finds: <link rel="authorization_endpoint" href="https://auth.alice.net/auth">
+4. Client finds: <link rel="token_endpoint" href="https://auth.alice.net/token">
+5. Client uses THOSE endpoints for alice's authentication
+```
+
+When bob authenticates:
+```
+1. Bob tries to sign in with: https://bob.example.org/
+2. Client fetches https://bob.example.org/
+3. Client finds: <link rel="authorization_endpoint" href="https://indieauth.com/auth">
+4. Client finds: <link rel="token_endpoint" href="https://indieauth.com/token">
+5. Client uses THOSE endpoints for bob's authentication
+```
+
+**Alice and Bob use different providers, discovered from their URLs!**
+
+## Decision: Correct Token Verification Architecture
+
+### Token Verification Flow
+
+```python
+def verify_token(token: str) -> dict:
+    """
+    Verify a token using IndieAuth endpoint discovery
+
+    1. Get claimed 'me' URL (from token introspection or previous knowledge)
+    2. Discover token endpoint from 'me' URL
+    3. Verify token with discovered endpoint
+    4. Validate response
+    """
+
+    # Step 1: Initial token introspection (if needed)
+    # Some flows provide 'me' in Authorization header or token itself
+
+    # Step 2: Discover endpoints from user's profile URL
+    endpoints = discover_endpoints(me_url)
+    if not endpoints.get('token_endpoint'):
+        raise Error("No token endpoint found for user")
+
+    # Step 3: Verify with discovered endpoint
+    response = verify_with_endpoint(
+        token=token,
+        endpoint=endpoints['token_endpoint']
+    )
+
+    # Step 4: Validate response
+    if response['me'] != me_url:
+        raise Error("Token 'me' doesn't match claimed identity")
+
+    return response
+```
+
+### Endpoint Discovery Implementation
+
+```python
+def discover_endpoints(profile_url: str) -> dict:
+    """
+    Discover IndieAuth endpoints from a profile URL
+    Per https://www.w3.org/TR/indieauth/#discovery-by-clients
+
+    Priority order:
+    1. HTTP Link headers
+    2. HTML <link> elements
+    3. IndieAuth metadata endpoint
+    """
+
+    # Fetch the profile URL
+    response = http_get(profile_url, headers={'Accept': 'text/html'})
+
+    endpoints = {}
+
+    # 1. Check HTTP Link headers (highest priority)
+    link_header = response.headers.get('Link')
+    if link_header:
+        endpoints.update(parse_link_header(link_header))
+
+    # 2. Check HTML <link> elements
+    if 'text/html' in response.headers.get('Content-Type', ''):
+        soup = parse_html(response.text)
+
+        # Find authorization endpoint
+        auth_link = soup.find('link', rel='authorization_endpoint')
+        if auth_link and not endpoints.get('authorization_endpoint'):
+            endpoints['authorization_endpoint'] = urljoin(
+                profile_url,
+                auth_link.get('href')
+            )
+
+        # Find token endpoint
+        token_link = soup.find('link', rel='token_endpoint')
+        if token_link and not endpoints.get('token_endpoint'):
+            endpoints['token_endpoint'] = urljoin(
+                profile_url,
+                token_link.get('href')
+            )
+
+    # 3. Check IndieAuth metadata endpoint (if supported)
+    # Look for rel="indieauth-metadata"
+
+    return endpoints
+```
+
+### Caching Strategy
+
+```python
+class EndpointCache:
+    """
+    Cache discovered endpoints for performance
+    Key insight: User's chosen endpoints rarely change
+    """
+
+    def __init__(self, ttl=3600):  # 1 hour default
+        self.cache = {}  # profile_url -> (endpoints, expiry)
+        self.ttl = ttl
+
+    def get_endpoints(self, profile_url: str) -> dict:
+        """Get endpoints, using cache if valid"""
+
+        if profile_url in self.cache:
+            endpoints, expiry = self.cache[profile_url]
+            if time.time() < expiry:
+                return endpoints
+
+        # Discovery needed
+        endpoints = discover_endpoints(profile_url)
+
+        # Cache for future use
+        self.cache[profile_url] = (
+            endpoints,
+            time.time() + self.ttl
+        )
+
+        return endpoints
+```
+
+## Why This Is Correct
+
+### User Sovereignty
+- Users control their authentication by choosing their provider
+- Users can switch providers by updating their profile links
+- No vendor lock-in to specific auth servers
+
+### Decentralization
+- No central authority for authentication
+- Any server can be an IndieAuth provider
+- Users can self-host their auth if desired
+
+### Security
+- Provider changes are immediately reflected
+- Compromised providers can be switched instantly
+- Users maintain control of their identity
+
+## What Was Wrong Before
+
+### The Fatal Flaw
+```ini
+# WRONG - This violates IndieAuth!
+TOKEN_ENDPOINT=https://tokens.indieauth.com/token
+```
+
+This assumes ALL users use the same token endpoint. This is fundamentally incorrect because:
+
+1. **Breaks user choice**: Forces everyone to use indieauth.com
+2. **Violates spec**: IndieAuth requires endpoint discovery
+3. **Security risk**: If indieauth.com is compromised, all users affected
+4. **No flexibility**: Users can't switch providers
+5. **Not IndieAuth**: This is just OAuth with a hardcoded provider
+
+### The Correct Approach
+```ini
+# CORRECT - Only store the admin's identity URL
+ADMIN_ME=https://admin.example.com/
+
+# Endpoints are discovered from ADMIN_ME at runtime!
+```
+
+## Implementation Requirements
+
+### 1. HTTP Client Requirements
+- Follow redirects (up to a limit)
+- Parse Link headers correctly
+- Handle HTML parsing
+- Respect Content-Type
+- Implement timeouts
+
+### 2. URL Resolution
+- Properly resolve relative URLs
+- Handle different URL schemes
+- Normalize URLs correctly
+
+### 3. Error Handling
+- Profile URL unreachable
+- No endpoints discovered
+- Invalid HTML
+- Malformed Link headers
+- Network timeouts
+
+### 4. Security Considerations
+- Validate HTTPS for endpoints
+- Prevent redirect loops
+- Limit redirect chains
+- Validate discovered URLs
+- Cache poisoning prevention
+
+## Configuration Changes
+
+### Remove (WRONG)
+```ini
+TOKEN_ENDPOINT=https://tokens.indieauth.com/token
+AUTHORIZATION_ENDPOINT=https://indieauth.com/auth
+```
+
+### Keep (CORRECT)
+```ini
+ADMIN_ME=https://admin.example.com/
+# Endpoints discovered from ADMIN_ME automatically!
+```
+
+## Micropub Token Verification Flow
+
+```
+1. Micropub receives request with Bearer token
+2. Extract token from Authorization header
+3. Need to verify token, but with which endpoint?
+4. Option A: If we have cached token info, use cached 'me' URL
+5. Option B: Try verification with last known endpoint for similar tokens
+6. Option C: Require 'me' parameter in Micropub request
+7. Discover token endpoint from 'me' URL
+8. Verify token with discovered endpoint
+9. Cache the verification result and endpoint
+10. Process Micropub request if valid
+```
+
+## Testing Requirements
+
+### Unit Tests
+- Endpoint discovery from HTML
+- Link header parsing
+- URL resolution
+- Cache behavior
+
+### Integration Tests
+- Discovery from real IndieAuth providers
+- Different HTML structures
+- Various Link header formats
+- Redirect handling
+
+### Test Cases
+```python
+# Test different profile configurations
+test_profiles = [
+    {
+        'url': 'https://user1.example.com/',
+        'html': '<link rel="token_endpoint" href="https://auth.example.com/token">',
+        'expected': 'https://auth.example.com/token'
+    },
+    {
+        'url': 'https://user2.example.com/',
+        'html': '<link rel="token_endpoint" href="/auth/token">',  # Relative URL
+        'expected': 'https://user2.example.com/auth/token'
+    },
+    {
+        'url': 'https://user3.example.com/',
+        'link_header': '<https://indieauth.com/token>; rel="token_endpoint"',
+        'expected': 'https://indieauth.com/token'
+    }
+]
+```
+
+## Documentation Requirements
+
+### User Documentation
+- Explain how to set up profile URLs
+- Show examples of link elements
+- List compatible providers
+- Troubleshooting guide
+
+### Developer Documentation
+- Endpoint discovery algorithm
+- Cache implementation details
+- Error handling strategies
+- Security considerations
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+- **Spec Compliant**: Correctly implements IndieAuth
+- **User Freedom**: Users choose their providers
+- **Decentralized**: No hardcoded central authority
+- **Flexible**: Supports any IndieAuth provider
+- **Secure**: Provider changes take effect immediately
+
+### Negative
+- **Complexity**: More complex than hardcoded endpoints
+- **Performance**: Discovery adds latency (mitigated by caching)
+- **Reliability**: Depends on profile URL availability
+- **Testing**: More complex test scenarios
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### Alternative 1: Hardcoded Endpoints (REJECTED)
+**Why it's wrong**: Violates IndieAuth specification fundamentally
+
+### Alternative 2: Configuration Per User
+**Why it's wrong**: Still not dynamic discovery, doesn't follow spec
+
+### Alternative 3: Only Support One Provider
+**Why it's wrong**: Defeats the purpose of IndieAuth's decentralization

+# ADR-031: IndieAuth Endpoint Discovery Implementation Details
+
+## Status
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+
+The developer raised critical implementation questions about ADR-030-CORRECTED regarding IndieAuth endpoint discovery. The primary blocker was the "chicken-and-egg" problem: when receiving a token, how do we know which endpoint to verify it with?
+
+## Decision
+
+For StarPunk V1 (single-user CMS), we will:
+
+1. **ALWAYS use ADMIN_ME for endpoint discovery** when verifying tokens
+2. **Use simple caching structure** optimized for single-user
+3. **Add BeautifulSoup4** as a dependency for robust HTML parsing
+4. **Fail closed** on security errors with cache grace period
+5. **Allow HTTP in debug mode** for local development
+
+### Core Implementation
+
+```python
+def verify_external_token(token: str) -> Optional[Dict[str, Any]]:
+    """Verify token - single-user V1 implementation"""
+    admin_me = current_app.config.get("ADMIN_ME")
+
+    # Always discover from ADMIN_ME (single-user assumption)
+    endpoints = discover_endpoints(admin_me)
+    token_endpoint = endpoints['token_endpoint']
+
+    # Verify and validate token belongs to admin
+    token_info = verify_with_endpoint(token_endpoint, token)
+
+    if normalize_url(token_info['me']) != normalize_url(admin_me):
+        raise TokenVerificationError("Token not for admin user")
+
+    return token_info
+```
+
+## Rationale
+
+### Why ADMIN_ME Discovery?
+
+StarPunk V1 is explicitly single-user. Only the admin can post, so any valid token MUST belong to ADMIN_ME. This eliminates the chicken-and-egg problem entirely.
+
+### Why Simple Cache?
+
+With only one user, we don't need complex profile->endpoints mapping. A simple cache suffices:
+
+```python
+class EndpointCache:
+    def __init__(self):
+        self.endpoints = None  # Single user's endpoints
+        self.endpoints_expire = 0
+        self.token_cache = {}  # token_hash -> (info, expiry)
+```
+
+### Why BeautifulSoup4?
+
+- Industry standard for HTML parsing
+- More robust than regex or built-in parsers
+- Pure Python implementation available
+- Worth the dependency for correctness
+
+### Why Fail Closed?
+
+Security principle: when in doubt, deny access. We use cached endpoints as a grace period during network failures, but ultimately deny access if we cannot verify.
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+- Eliminates complexity of multi-user endpoint discovery
+- Simple, clear implementation path
+- Secure by default
+- Easy to test and verify
+
+### Negative
+- Will need refactoring for V2 multi-user support
+- Adds BeautifulSoup4 dependency
+- First request after cache expiry has ~850ms latency
+
+### Migration Impact
+- Breaking change: TOKEN_ENDPOINT config removed
+- Users must update configuration
+- Clear deprecation warnings provided
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### Alternative 1: Require 'me' Parameter
+**Rejected**: Would violate Micropub specification
+
+### Alternative 2: Try Multiple Endpoints
+**Rejected**: Complex, slow, and unnecessary for single-user
+
+### Alternative 3: Pre-warm Cache
+**Rejected**: Adds complexity for minimal benefit
+
+## Implementation Timeline
+
+- **v1.0.0-rc.5**: Full implementation with migration guide
+- Remove TOKEN_ENDPOINT configuration
+- Add endpoint discovery from ADMIN_ME
+- Document single-user assumption
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+- Unit tests with mocked HTTP responses
+- Edge case coverage (malformed HTML, network errors)
+- One integration test with real IndieAuth.com
+- Skip real provider tests in CI (manual testing only)

+# ADR-050: Remove Custom IndieAuth Server
+
+## Status
+Proposed
+
+## Context
+
+StarPunk currently includes a custom IndieAuth authorization server implementation that:
+- Provides authorization endpoint (`/auth/authorization`)
+- Provides token issuance endpoint (`/auth/token`)
+- Manages authorization codes and access tokens
+- Implements PKCE for security
+- Stores hashed tokens in the database
+
+However, this violates our core philosophy of "every line of code must justify its existence." The custom authorization server adds significant complexity without clear benefit, as users can use external IndieAuth providers like indieauth.com and tokens.indieauth.com.
+
+### Current Architecture Problems
+
+1. **Unnecessary Complexity**: ~500+ lines of authorization/token management code
+2. **Security Burden**: We're responsible for secure token generation, storage, and validation
+3. **Maintenance Overhead**: Must keep up with IndieAuth spec changes and security updates
+4. **Database Bloat**: Two additional tables for codes and tokens
+5. **Confusion**: Mixing authorization server and resource server responsibilities
+
+### Proposed Architecture
+
+StarPunk should be a pure Micropub server that:
+- Accepts Bearer tokens in the Authorization header
+- Verifies tokens with the user's configured token endpoint
+- Does NOT issue tokens or handle authorization
+- Uses external providers for all IndieAuth functionality
+
+## Decision
+
+Remove all custom IndieAuth authorization server code and rely entirely on external providers.
+
+### What Gets Removed
+
+1. **Python Modules**:
+   - `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/starpunk/tokens.py` - Entire file
+   - Authorization endpoint code from `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/starpunk/routes/auth.py`
+   - Token endpoint code from `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/starpunk/routes/auth.py`
+
+2. **Templates**:
+   - `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/templates/auth/authorize.html` - Authorization consent UI
+
+3. **Database**:
+   - `authorization_codes` table
+   - `tokens` table
+   - Migration: `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/migrations/002_secure_tokens_and_authorization_codes.sql`
+
+4. **Tests**:
+   - `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/tests/test_tokens.py`
+   - `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/tests/test_routes_authorization.py`
+   - `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/tests/test_routes_token.py`
+   - `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/tests/test_auth_pkce.py`
+
+### What Gets Modified
+
+1. **Micropub Token Verification** (`/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/starpunk/micropub.py`):
+   - Replace local token lookup with external token endpoint verification
+   - Use token introspection endpoint to validate tokens
+
+2. **Configuration** (`/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/starpunk/config.py`):
+   - Add `TOKEN_ENDPOINT` setting for external provider
+   - Remove any authorization server settings
+
+3. **HTML Headers** (base template):
+   - Add link tags pointing to external providers
+   - Remove references to local authorization endpoints
+
+4. **Admin Auth** (`/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/starpunk/routes/auth.py`):
+   - Keep IndieLogin.com integration for admin sessions
+   - Remove authorization/token endpoint routes
+
+## Rationale
+
+### Simplicity Score: 10/10
+- Removes ~500+ lines of complex security code
+- Eliminates two database tables
+- Reduces attack surface
+- Clearer separation of concerns
+
+### Maintenance Score: 10/10
+- No security updates for auth code
+- No spec compliance to maintain
+- External providers handle all complexity
+- Focus on core CMS functionality
+
+### Standards Compliance: Pass
+- Still fully IndieAuth compliant
+- Better separation of resource server vs authorization server
+- Follows IndieWeb principle of using existing infrastructure
+
+### User Impact: Minimal
+- Users already need to configure their domain
+- External providers are free and require no registration
+- Better security (specialized providers)
+- More flexibility in provider choice
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### Phase 1: Remove Authorization Server (Day 1)
+**Goal**: Remove authorization endpoint and consent UI
+
+**Tasks**:
+1. Delete `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/templates/auth/authorize.html`
+2. Remove `authorization_endpoint()` from `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/starpunk/routes/auth.py`
+3. Delete `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/tests/test_routes_authorization.py`
+4. Delete `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/tests/test_auth_pkce.py`
+5. Remove PKCE-related functions from auth module
+6. Update route tests to not expect /auth/authorization
+
+**Verification**:
+- Server starts without errors
+- Admin login still works
+- No references to authorization endpoint in codebase
+
+### Phase 2: Remove Token Issuance (Day 1)
+**Goal**: Remove token endpoint and generation logic
+
+**Tasks**:
+1. Remove `token_endpoint()` from `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/starpunk/routes/auth.py`
+2. Delete `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/tests/test_routes_token.py`
+3. Remove token generation functions from `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/starpunk/tokens.py`
+4. Remove authorization code exchange logic
+
+**Verification**:
+- Server starts without errors
+- No references to token issuance in codebase
+
+### Phase 3: Simplify Database Schema (Day 2)
+**Goal**: Remove authorization and token tables
+
+**Tasks**:
+1. Create new migration to drop tables:
+   ```sql
+   -- 003_remove_indieauth_server_tables.sql
+   DROP TABLE IF EXISTS authorization_codes;
+   DROP TABLE IF EXISTS tokens;
+   ```
+2. Remove `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/migrations/002_secure_tokens_and_authorization_codes.sql`
+3. Update schema documentation
+4. Run migration on test database
+
+**Verification**:
+- Database migration succeeds
+- No orphaned foreign keys
+- Application starts without database errors
+
+### Phase 4: Update Micropub Token Verification (Day 2)
+**Goal**: Use external token endpoint for verification
+
+**New Implementation**:
+```python
+def verify_token(bearer_token: str) -> Optional[Dict[str, Any]]:
+    """
+    Verify token with external token endpoint
+
+    Args:
+        bearer_token: Token from Authorization header
+
+    Returns:
+        Token info if valid, None otherwise
+    """
+    token_endpoint = current_app.config['TOKEN_ENDPOINT']
+
+    try:
+        response = httpx.get(
+            token_endpoint,
+            headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {bearer_token}'}
+        )
+
+        if response.status_code != 200:
+            return None
+
+        data = response.json()
+
+        # Verify token is for our user
+        if data.get('me') != current_app.config['ADMIN_ME']:
+            return None
+
+        # Check scope
+        if 'create' not in data.get('scope', ''):
+            return None
+
+        return data
+
+    except Exception:
+        return None
+```
+
+**Tasks**:
+1. Replace `verify_token()` in `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/starpunk/micropub.py`
+2. Add `TOKEN_ENDPOINT` to config with default `https://tokens.indieauth.com/token`
+3. Remove local database token lookup
+4. Update Micropub tests to mock external verification
+
+**Verification**:
+- Micropub endpoint accepts valid tokens
+- Rejects invalid tokens
+- Proper error responses
+
+### Phase 5: Documentation and Configuration (Day 3)
+**Goal**: Update all documentation and add discovery headers
+
+**Tasks**:
+1. Update base template with IndieAuth discovery:
+   ```html
+   <link rel="authorization_endpoint" href="https://indieauth.com/auth">
+   <link rel="token_endpoint" href="https://tokens.indieauth.com/token">
+   ```
+2. Update README with setup instructions
+3. Create user guide for configuring external providers
+4. Update architecture documentation
+5. Update CHANGELOG.md
+6. Increment version per versioning strategy
+
+**Verification**:
+- Discovery links present in HTML
+- Documentation accurate and complete
+- Version number updated
+
+## Rollback Strategy
+
+### Immediate Rollback
+If critical issues found during implementation:
+
+1. **Git Revert**: Revert the removal commits
+2. **Database Restore**: Re-run migration 002 to recreate tables
+3. **Config Restore**: Revert configuration changes
+4. **Test Suite**: Run full test suite to verify restoration
+
+### Gradual Rollback
+If issues found in production:
+
+1. **Feature Flag**: Add config flag to toggle between internal/external auth
+2. **Dual Mode**: Support both modes temporarily
+3. **Migration Path**: Give users time to switch
+4. **Deprecation**: Mark internal auth as deprecated
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Unit Tests to Update
+- Remove all token generation/validation tests
+- Update Micropub tests to mock external verification
+- Keep admin authentication tests
+
+### Integration Tests
+- Test Micropub with mock external token endpoint
+- Test admin login flow (unchanged)
+- Test token rejection scenarios
+
+### Manual Testing Checklist
+- [ ] Admin can log in via IndieLogin.com
+- [ ] Micropub accepts valid Bearer tokens
+- [ ] Micropub rejects invalid tokens
+- [ ] Micropub rejects tokens with wrong scope
+- [ ] Discovery links present in HTML
+- [ ] Documentation explains external provider setup
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+### Must Work
+1. Admin authentication via IndieLogin.com
+2. Micropub token verification via external endpoint
+3. Proper error responses for invalid tokens
+4. HTML discovery links for IndieAuth endpoints
+
+### Must Not Exist
+1. No authorization endpoint (`/auth/authorization`)
+2. No token endpoint (`/auth/token`)
+3. No authorization consent UI
+4. No token storage in database
+5. No PKCE implementation
+
+### Performance Criteria
+1. Token verification < 500ms (external API call)
+2. Consider caching valid tokens for 5 minutes
+3. No database queries for token validation
+
+## Version Impact
+
+Per `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/docs/standards/versioning-strategy.md`:
+
+This is a **breaking change** that removes functionality:
+- Removes authorization server endpoints
+- Changes token verification method
+- Requires external provider configuration
+
+**Version Change**: 0.4.0 → 0.5.0 (minor version bump for breaking change in 0.x)
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+- **Massive Simplification**: ~500+ lines removed
+- **Better Security**: Specialized providers handle auth
+- **Less Maintenance**: No security updates needed
+- **Clearer Architecture**: Pure Micropub server
+- **Standards Compliant**: Better separation of concerns
+
+### Negative
+- **External Dependency**: Requires internet connection for token verification
+- **Latency**: External API calls for each request (mitigate with caching)
+- **Not Standalone**: Cannot work in isolated environment
+
+### Neutral
+- **User Configuration**: Users must set up external providers (already required)
+- **Provider Choice**: Users can choose any IndieAuth provider
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### Keep Internal Auth as Option
+**Rejected**: Violates simplicity principle, maintains complexity
+
+### Token Caching/Storage
+**Consider**: Cache validated tokens for performance
+- Store token hash + expiry in memory/Redis
+- Reduce external API calls
+- Implement in Phase 4 if needed
+
+### Offline Mode
+**Rejected**: Incompatible with external verification
+- Could allow "trust mode" for development
+- Not suitable for production
+
+## Migration Path for Existing Users
+
+### For Users with Existing Tokens
+1. Tokens become invalid after upgrade
+2. Must re-authenticate with external provider
+3. Document in upgrade notes
+
+### Configuration Changes
+```ini
+# OLD (remove these)
+# AUTHORIZATION_ENDPOINT=/auth/authorization
+# TOKEN_ENDPOINT=/auth/token
+
+# NEW (add these)
+ADMIN_ME=https://user-domain.com
+TOKEN_ENDPOINT=https://tokens.indieauth.com/token
+```
+
+### User Communication
+1. Announce breaking change in release notes
+2. Provide migration guide
+3. Explain benefits of simplification
+
+## Success Metrics
+
+### Code Metrics
+- Lines of code removed: ~500+
+- Test coverage maintained > 90%
+- Cyclomatic complexity reduced
+
+### Operational Metrics
+- Zero security vulnerabilities in auth code (none to maintain)
+- Token verification latency < 500ms
+- 100% compatibility with IndieAuth clients

+# ADR-051: Phase 1 Test Strategy and Implementation Review
+
+## Status
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+
+The developer has completed Phase 1 of the IndieAuth authorization server removal, which involved:
+- Removing the `/auth/authorization` endpoint
+- Deleting the authorization UI template
+- Removing authorization and PKCE-specific test files
+- Cleaning up related imports
+
+The implementation has resulted in 539 of 569 tests passing (94.7%), with 30 tests failing. These failures fall into six categories:
+1. OAuth metadata endpoint tests (10 tests)
+2. State token tests (6 tests)
+3. Callback tests (4 tests)
+4. Migration tests (2 tests)
+5. IndieAuth client discovery tests (5 tests)
+6. Development auth tests (1 test)
+
+## Decision
+
+### On Phase 1 Implementation Quality
+Phase 1 has been executed correctly and according to plan. The developer properly:
+- Removed only the authorization-specific code
+- Preserved admin login functionality
+- Documented all changes comprehensively
+- Identified and categorized all test failures
+
+### On Handling the 30 Failing Tests
+**We choose Option A: Delete all 30 failing tests now.**
+
+Rationale:
+1. **All failures are expected** - Every failing test is testing functionality we intentionally removed
+2. **Clean state principle** - Leaving failing tests creates confusion and technical debt
+3. **No value in preservation** - These tests will never be relevant again in V1
+4. **Simplified maintenance** - A green test suite is easier to maintain and gives confidence
+
+### On the Overall Implementation Plan
+**The 5-phase approach remains correct, but we should accelerate execution.**
+
+Recommended adjustments:
+1. **Combine Phases 2 and 3** - Remove token functionality AND database tables together
+2. **Keep Phase 4 separate** - External verification is complex enough to warrant isolation
+3. **Keep Phase 5 separate** - Documentation deserves dedicated attention
+
+### On Immediate Next Steps
+1. **Clean up the 30 failing tests immediately** (before committing Phase 1)
+2. **Commit Phase 1 with clean test suite**
+3. **Proceed directly to combined Phase 2+3**
+
+## Rationale
+
+### Why Delete Tests Now
+- **False positives harm confidence**: Failing tests that "should" fail train developers to ignore test failures
+- **Git preserves history**: If we ever need these tests, they're in git history
+- **Clear intention**: Deleted tests make it explicit that functionality is gone
+- **Faster CI/CD**: No time wasted running irrelevant tests
+
+### Why Accelerate Phases
+- **Momentum preservation**: The developer understands the codebase now
+- **Reduced intermediate states**: Fewer partially-functional states reduces confusion
+- **Coherent changes**: Token removal and database cleanup are logically connected
+
+### Why Not Fix Tests
+- **Wasted effort**: Fixing tests for removed functionality is pure waste
+- **Misleading coverage**: Tests for non-existent features inflate coverage metrics
+- **Future confusion**: Future developers would wonder why we test things that don't exist
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+- **Clean test suite**: 100% passing tests after cleanup
+- **Clear boundaries**: Each phase has unambiguous completion
+- **Faster delivery**: Combined phases reduce total implementation time
+- **Reduced complexity**: Fewer intermediate states to manage
+
+### Negative
+- **Larger commits**: Combined phases create bigger changesets
+- **Rollback complexity**: Larger changes are harder to revert
+- **Testing gaps**: Need to ensure no valid tests are accidentally removed
+
+### Mitigations
+- **Careful review**: Double-check each test deletion is intentional
+- **Git granularity**: Use separate commits for test deletion vs. code removal
+- **Backup branch**: Keep Phase 1 isolated in case rollback needed
+
+## Implementation Instructions
+
+### Immediate Actions (30 minutes)
+
+1. **Delete OAuth metadata tests**:
+```bash
+# Remove the entire TestOAuthMetadataEndpoint class from test_routes_public.py
+# Also remove TestIndieAuthMetadataLink class
+```
+
+2. **Delete state token tests**:
+```bash
+# Review each state token test - some may be testing admin login
+# Only delete tests specific to authorization flow
+```
+
+3. **Delete callback tests**:
+```bash
+# Verify these are authorization callbacks, not admin login callbacks
+# If admin login, fix them; if authorization, delete them
+```
+
+4. **Delete migration tests expecting PKCE**:
+```bash
+# Update tests to not expect code_verifier column
+# These tests should verify current schema, not old schema
+```
+
+5. **Delete h-app microformat tests**:
+```bash
+# Remove all IndieAuth client discovery tests
+# These are no longer relevant without authorization endpoint
+```
+
+6. **Verify clean suite**:
+```bash
+uv run pytest
+# Should show 100% passing
+```
+
+### Commit Strategy
+
+Create two commits:
+
+**Commit 1**: Test cleanup
+```bash
+git add tests/
+git commit -m "test: Remove tests for deleted IndieAuth authorization functionality
+
+- Remove OAuth metadata endpoint tests (no longer serving authorization metadata)
+- Remove authorization-specific state token tests
+- Remove authorization callback tests
+- Remove h-app client discovery tests
+- Update migration tests to reflect current schema
+
+All removed tests were for functionality intentionally deleted in Phase 1.
+Tests preserved in git history if ever needed for reference."
+```
+
+**Commit 2**: Phase 1 implementation
+```bash
+git add .
+git commit -m "feat!: Phase 1 - Remove IndieAuth authorization server
+
+BREAKING CHANGE: Removed built-in IndieAuth authorization endpoint
+
+- Remove /auth/authorization endpoint
+- Delete authorization consent UI template
+- Remove authorization-related imports
+- Clean up PKCE test file
+- Update version to 1.0.0-rc.4
+
+This is Phase 1 of 5 in the IndieAuth removal plan.
+Admin login functionality remains fully operational.
+Token endpoint preserved for Phase 2 removal.
+
+See: docs/architecture/indieauth-removal-phases.md"
+```
+
+### Phase 2+3 Combined Plan (Next)
+
+After committing Phase 1:
+
+1. **Remove token endpoint** (`/auth/token`)
+2. **Remove token module** (`starpunk/tokens.py`)
+3. **Create and run database migration** to drop tables
+4. **Remove all token-related tests**
+5. **Update version** to 1.0.0-rc.5
+
+This combined approach will complete the removal faster while maintaining coherent system states.
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### Alternative 1: Fix Failing Tests
+**Rejected** because:
+- Effort to fix tests for removed features is wasted
+- Creates false sense that features still exist
+- Contradicts the removal intention
+
+### Alternative 2: Leave Tests Failing Until End
+**Rejected** because:
+- Creates confusion about system state
+- Makes it hard to identify real failures
+- Violates principle of maintaining green test suite
+
+### Alternative 3: Comment Out Failing Tests
+**Rejected** because:
+- Dead code accumulates
+- Comments tend to persist forever
+- Git history is better for preservation
+
+### Alternative 4: Keep Original 5 Phases
+**Rejected** because:
+- Unnecessary granularity
+- More intermediate states to manage
+- Slower overall delivery
+
+## Review Checklist
+
+Before proceeding:
+- [ ] Verify each deleted test was actually testing removed functionality
+- [ ] Confirm admin login tests are preserved and passing
+- [ ] Ensure no accidental deletion of valid tests
+- [ ] Document test removal in commit messages
+- [ ] Verify 100% test pass rate after cleanup
+- [ ] Create backup branch before Phase 2+3

+# ADR-052: Configuration System Architecture
+
+## Status
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+StarPunk v1.1.1 "Polish" introduces several configurable features to improve production readiness and user experience. Currently, configuration values are hardcoded throughout the application, making customization difficult. We need a consistent, simple approach to configuration management that:
+
+1. Maintains backward compatibility
+2. Provides sensible defaults
+3. Follows Python best practices
+4. Minimizes complexity
+5. Supports environment-based configuration
+
+## Decision
+We will implement a centralized configuration system using environment variables with fallback defaults, managed through a single configuration module.
+
+### Configuration Architecture
+
+```
+Environment Variables (highest priority)
+    ↓
+Configuration File (optional, .env)
+    ↓
+Default Values (in code)
+```
+
+### Configuration Module Structure
+
+Location: `starpunk/config.py`
+
+Categories:
+1. **Search Configuration**
+   - `SEARCH_ENABLED`: bool (default: True)
+   - `SEARCH_TITLE_LENGTH`: int (default: 100)
+   - `SEARCH_HIGHLIGHT_CLASS`: str (default: "highlight")
+   - `SEARCH_MIN_SCORE`: float (default: 0.0)
+
+2. **Performance Configuration**
+   - `PERF_MONITORING_ENABLED`: bool (default: False)
+   - `PERF_SLOW_QUERY_THRESHOLD`: float (default: 1.0 seconds)
+   - `PERF_LOG_QUERIES`: bool (default: False)
+   - `PERF_MEMORY_TRACKING`: bool (default: False)
+
+3. **Database Configuration**
+   - `DB_CONNECTION_POOL_SIZE`: int (default: 5)
+   - `DB_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT`: float (default: 10.0)
+   - `DB_WAL_MODE`: bool (default: True)
+   - `DB_BUSY_TIMEOUT`: int (default: 5000 ms)
+
+4. **Logging Configuration**
+   - `LOG_LEVEL`: str (default: "INFO")
+   - `LOG_FORMAT`: str (default: structured JSON)
+   - `LOG_FILE_PATH`: str (default: None)
+   - `LOG_ROTATION`: bool (default: False)
+
+5. **Production Configuration**
+   - `SESSION_TIMEOUT`: int (default: 86400 seconds)
+   - `HEALTH_CHECK_DETAILED`: bool (default: False)
+   - `ERROR_DETAILS_IN_RESPONSE`: bool (default: False)
+
+### Implementation Pattern
+
+```python
+# starpunk/config.py
+import os
+from typing import Any, Optional
+
+class Config:
+    """Centralized configuration management"""
+
+    @staticmethod
+    def get_bool(key: str, default: bool = False) -> bool:
+        """Get boolean configuration value"""
+        value = os.environ.get(key, "").lower()
+        if value in ("true", "1", "yes", "on"):
+            return True
+        elif value in ("false", "0", "no", "off"):
+            return False
+        return default
+
+    @staticmethod
+    def get_int(key: str, default: int) -> int:
+        """Get integer configuration value"""
+        try:
+            return int(os.environ.get(key, default))
+        except (ValueError, TypeError):
+            return default
+
+    @staticmethod
+    def get_float(key: str, default: float) -> float:
+        """Get float configuration value"""
+        try:
+            return float(os.environ.get(key, default))
+        except (ValueError, TypeError):
+            return default
+
+    @staticmethod
+    def get_str(key: str, default: str = "") -> str:
+        """Get string configuration value"""
+        return os.environ.get(key, default)
+
+# Configuration instances
+SEARCH_ENABLED = Config.get_bool("STARPUNK_SEARCH_ENABLED", True)
+SEARCH_TITLE_LENGTH = Config.get_int("STARPUNK_SEARCH_TITLE_LENGTH", 100)
+# ... etc
+```
+
+### Environment Variable Naming Convention
+
+All StarPunk environment variables are prefixed with `STARPUNK_` to avoid conflicts:
+- `STARPUNK_SEARCH_ENABLED`
+- `STARPUNK_PERF_MONITORING_ENABLED`
+- `STARPUNK_DB_CONNECTION_POOL_SIZE`
+- etc.
+
+## Rationale
+
+### Why Environment Variables?
+1. **Standard Practice**: Follows 12-factor app methodology
+2. **Container Friendly**: Works well with Docker/Kubernetes
+3. **No Dependencies**: Built into Python stdlib
+4. **Security**: Sensitive values not in code
+5. **Simple**: No complex configuration parsing
+
+### Why Not Alternative Approaches?
+
+**YAML/TOML/INI Files**:
+- Adds parsing complexity
+- Requires file management
+- Not as container-friendly
+- Additional dependency
+
+**Database Configuration**:
+- Circular dependency (need config to connect to DB)
+- Makes deployment more complex
+- Not suitable for bootstrap configuration
+
+**Python Config Files**:
+- Security risk if user-editable
+- Import complexity
+- Not standard practice
+
+### Why Centralized Module?
+1. **Single Source**: All configuration in one place
+2. **Type Safety**: Helper methods ensure correct types
+3. **Documentation**: Self-documenting defaults
+4. **Testing**: Easy to mock for tests
+5. **Validation**: Can add validation logic centrally
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+1. **Backward Compatible**: All existing deployments continue working with defaults
+2. **Production Ready**: Ops teams can configure without code changes
+3. **Simple Implementation**: ~100 lines of code
+4. **Testable**: Easy to test different configurations
+5. **Documented**: Configuration options clear in one file
+6. **Flexible**: Can override any setting via environment
+
+### Negative
+1. **Environment Pollution**: Many environment variables in production
+2. **No Validation**: Invalid values fall back to defaults silently
+3. **No Hot Reload**: Requires restart to apply changes
+4. **Limited Types**: Only primitive types supported
+
+### Mitigations
+1. Use `.env` files for local development
+2. Add startup configuration validation
+3. Log configuration values at startup (non-sensitive only)
+4. Document all configuration options clearly
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### 1. Pydantic Settings
+**Pros**: Type validation, .env support, modern
+**Cons**: New dependency, overengineered for our needs
+**Decision**: Too complex for v1.1.1 patch release
+
+### 2. Click Configuration
+**Pros**: Already using Click, integrated CLI options
+**Cons**: CLI args not suitable for all config, complex precedence
+**Decision**: Keep CLI and config separate
+
+### 3. ConfigParser (INI files)
+**Pros**: Python stdlib, familiar format
+**Cons**: File management complexity, not container-native
+**Decision**: Environment variables are simpler
+
+### 4. No Configuration System
+**Pros**: Simplest possible
+**Cons**: No production flexibility, poor UX
+**Decision**: v1.1.1 specifically targets production readiness
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+1. Configuration module loads at import time
+2. Values are immutable after startup
+3. Invalid values log warnings but use defaults
+4. Sensitive values (tokens, keys) never logged
+5. Configuration documented in deployment guide
+6. Example `.env.example` file provided
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+1. Unit tests mock environment variables
+2. Integration tests verify default behavior
+3. Configuration validation tests
+4. Performance impact tests (configuration overhead)
+
+## Migration Path
+
+No migration required - all configuration has sensible defaults that match current behavior.

+# ADR-053: Performance Monitoring Strategy
+
+## Status
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+StarPunk v1.1.1 introduces performance monitoring to help operators understand system behavior in production. Currently, we have no visibility into:
+- Database query performance
+- Memory usage patterns
+- Request processing times
+- Bottlenecks and slow operations
+
+We need a lightweight, zero-dependency monitoring solution that provides actionable insights without impacting performance.
+
+## Decision
+Implement a built-in performance monitoring system using Python's standard library, with optional detailed tracking controlled by configuration.
+
+### Architecture Overview
+
+```
+Request → Middleware (timing) → Handler
+              ↓                    ↓
+         Context Manager      Decorators
+              ↓                    ↓
+         Metrics Store ← Database Hooks
+              ↓
+        Admin Dashboard
+```
+
+### Core Components
+
+#### 1. Metrics Collector
+Location: `starpunk/monitoring/collector.py`
+
+Responsibilities:
+- Collect timing data
+- Track memory usage
+- Store recent metrics in memory
+- Provide aggregation functions
+
+Data Structure:
+```python
+@dataclass
+class Metric:
+    timestamp: float
+    category: str  # "db", "http", "function"
+    operation: str  # specific operation name
+    duration: float  # in seconds
+    metadata: dict  # additional context
+```
+
+#### 2. Database Performance Tracking
+Location: `starpunk/monitoring/db_monitor.py`
+
+Features:
+- Query execution timing
+- Slow query detection
+- Query pattern analysis
+- Connection pool monitoring
+
+Implementation via SQLite callbacks:
+```python
+# Wrap database operations
+with monitor.track_query("SELECT", "notes"):
+    cursor.execute(query)
+```
+
+#### 3. Memory Tracking
+Location: `starpunk/monitoring/memory.py`
+
+Track:
+- Process memory (RSS)
+- Memory growth over time
+- Per-request memory delta
+- Memory high water mark
+
+Uses `resource` module (stdlib).
+
+#### 4. Request Performance
+Location: `starpunk/monitoring/http.py`
+
+Track:
+- Request processing time
+- Response size
+- Status code distribution
+- Slowest endpoints
+
+#### 5. Admin Dashboard
+Location: `/admin/performance`
+
+Display:
+- Real-time metrics (last 15 minutes)
+- Slow query log
+- Memory usage graph
+- Endpoint performance table
+- Database statistics
+
+### Data Retention
+
+In-memory circular buffer approach:
+- Last 1000 metrics retained
+- Automatic old data eviction
+- No persistent storage (privacy/simplicity)
+- Reset on restart
+
+### Performance Overhead
+
+Target: <1% overhead when enabled
+
+Strategies:
+- Sampling for high-frequency operations
+- Lazy computation of aggregates
+- Minimal memory footprint (1MB max)
+- Conditional compilation via config
+
+## Rationale
+
+### Why Built-in Monitoring?
+1. **Zero Dependencies**: Uses only Python stdlib
+2. **Privacy**: No external services
+3. **Simplicity**: No complex setup
+4. **Integrated**: Direct access to internals
+5. **Lightweight**: Minimal overhead
+
+### Why Not External Tools?
+
+**Prometheus/Grafana**:
+- Requires external services
+- Complex setup
+- Overkill for single-user system
+
+**APM Services** (New Relic, DataDog):
+- Privacy concerns
+- Subscription costs
+- Network dependency
+- Too heavy for our needs
+
+**OpenTelemetry**:
+- Large dependency
+- Complex configuration
+- Designed for distributed systems
+
+### Design Principles
+
+1. **Opt-in**: Disabled by default
+2. **Lightweight**: Minimal resource usage
+3. **Actionable**: Focus on useful metrics
+4. **Temporary**: No permanent storage
+5. **Private**: No external data transmission
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+1. **Production Visibility**: Understand behavior under load
+2. **Performance Debugging**: Identify bottlenecks quickly
+3. **No Dependencies**: Pure Python solution
+4. **Privacy Preserving**: Data stays local
+5. **Simple Deployment**: No additional services
+
+### Negative
+1. **Limited History**: Only recent data available
+2. **Memory Usage**: ~1MB for metrics buffer
+3. **No Alerting**: Manual monitoring required
+4. **Single Node**: No distributed tracing
+
+### Mitigations
+1. Export capability for external tools
+2. Configurable buffer size
+3. Webhook support for alerts (future)
+4. Focus on most valuable metrics
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### 1. Logging-based Monitoring
+**Approach**: Parse performance data from logs
+**Pros**: Simple, no new code
+**Cons**: Log parsing complexity, no real-time view
+**Decision**: Dedicated monitoring is cleaner
+
+### 2. External Monitoring Service
+**Approach**: Use service like Sentry
+**Pros**: Full-featured, alerting included
+**Cons**: Privacy, cost, complexity
+**Decision**: Violates self-hosted principle
+
+### 3. Prometheus Exporter
+**Approach**: Expose /metrics endpoint
+**Pros**: Standard, good tooling
+**Cons**: Requires Prometheus setup
+**Decision**: Too complex for target users
+
+### 4. No Monitoring
+**Approach**: Rely on logs and external tools
+**Pros**: Simplest
+**Cons**: Poor production visibility
+**Decision**: v1.1.1 specifically targets production readiness
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Instrumentation Points
+
+1. **Database Layer**
+   - All queries automatically timed
+   - Connection acquisition/release
+   - Transaction duration
+   - Migration execution
+
+2. **HTTP Layer**
+   - Middleware wraps all requests
+   - Per-endpoint timing
+   - Static file serving
+   - Error handling
+
+3. **Core Functions**
+   - Note creation/update
+   - Search operations
+   - RSS generation
+   - Authentication flow

+### Configuration Options
+
+```python
+# All under STARPUNK_PERF_* prefix
+MONITORING_ENABLED = False  # Master switch
+SLOW_QUERY_THRESHOLD = 1.0  # seconds
+LOG_QUERIES = False  # Log all queries
+MEMORY_TRACKING = False  # Track memory usage
+SAMPLE_RATE = 1.0  # 1.0 = all, 0.1 = 10%
+BUFFER_SIZE = 1000  # Number of metrics
+DASHBOARD_ENABLED = True  # Enable web UI
+```
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+1. **Unit Tests**: Mock collectors, verify metrics
+2. **Integration Tests**: End-to-end monitoring flow
+3. **Performance Tests**: Verify low overhead
+4. **Load Tests**: Behavior under stress
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. Dashboard requires admin authentication
+2. No sensitive data in metrics
+3. No external data transmission
+4. Metrics cleared on logout
+5. Rate limiting on dashboard endpoint
+
+## Migration Path
+
+No migration required - monitoring is opt-in via configuration.
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+v1.2.0 and beyond:
+- Metric export (CSV/JSON)
+- Alert thresholds
+- Historical trending
+- Custom metric points
+- Plugin architecture

+# ADR-054: Structured Logging Architecture
+
+## Status
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+StarPunk currently uses print statements and basic logging without structure. For production deployments, we need:
+- Consistent log formatting
+- Appropriate log levels
+- Structured data for parsing
+- Correlation IDs for request tracking
+- Performance-conscious logging
+
+We need a logging architecture that is simple, follows Python best practices, and provides production-grade observability.
+
+## Decision
+Implement structured logging using Python's built-in `logging` module with JSON formatting and contextual information.
+
+### Logging Architecture
+
+```
+Application Code
+      ↓
+Logger Interface → Filters → Formatters → Handlers → Output
+      ↑                                              ↓
+Context Injection                            (stdout/file)
+```
+
+### Log Levels
+
+Following standard Python/syslog levels:
+
+| Level | Value | Usage |
+|-------|-------|-------|
+| CRITICAL | 50 | System failures requiring immediate attention |
+| ERROR | 40 | Errors that need investigation |
+| WARNING | 30 | Unexpected conditions that might cause issues |
+| INFO | 20 | Normal operation events |
+| DEBUG | 10 | Detailed diagnostic information |
+
+### Log Structure
+
+JSON format for production, human-readable for development:
+
+```json
+{
+  "timestamp": "2025-11-25T10:30:45.123Z",
+  "level": "INFO",
+  "logger": "starpunk.micropub",
+  "message": "Note created",
+  "request_id": "a1b2c3d4",
+  "user": "alice@example.com",
+  "context": {
+    "note_id": 123,
+    "slug": "my-note",
+    "word_count": 42
+  },
+  "performance": {
+    "duration_ms": 45
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Logger Hierarchy
+
+```
+starpunk (root logger)
+├── starpunk.auth        # Authentication/authorization
+├── starpunk.micropub    # Micropub endpoint
+├── starpunk.database    # Database operations
+├── starpunk.search      # Search functionality
+├── starpunk.web        # Web interface
+├── starpunk.rss        # RSS generation
+├── starpunk.monitoring # Performance monitoring
+└── starpunk.migration  # Database migrations
+```
+
+### Implementation Pattern
+
+```python
+# starpunk/logging.py
+import logging
+import json
+import sys
+from datetime import datetime
+from contextvars import ContextVar
+
+# Request context for correlation
+request_id: ContextVar[str] = ContextVar('request_id', default='')
+
+class StructuredFormatter(logging.Formatter):
+    """JSON formatter for structured logging"""
+
+    def format(self, record):
+        log_obj = {
+            'timestamp': datetime.utcnow().isoformat() + 'Z',
+            'level': record.levelname,
+            'logger': record.name,
+            'message': record.getMessage(),
+            'request_id': request_id.get()
+        }
+
+        # Add extra fields
+        if hasattr(record, 'context'):
+            log_obj['context'] = record.context
+
+        if hasattr(record, 'performance'):
+            log_obj['performance'] = record.performance
+
+        # Add exception info if present
+        if record.exc_info:
+            log_obj['exception'] = self.formatException(record.exc_info)
+
+        return json.dumps(log_obj)
+
+def setup_logging(level='INFO', format_type='json'):
+    """Configure logging for the application"""
+    root_logger = logging.getLogger('starpunk')
+    root_logger.setLevel(level)
+
+    handler = logging.StreamHandler(sys.stdout)
+
+    if format_type == 'json':
+        formatter = StructuredFormatter()
+    else:
+        # Human-readable for development
+        formatter = logging.Formatter(
+            '%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s'
+        )
+
+    handler.setFormatter(formatter)
+    root_logger.addHandler(handler)
+
+    return root_logger
+
+# Usage pattern
+logger = logging.getLogger('starpunk.micropub')
+
+def create_note(content, user):
+    logger.info(
+        "Creating note",
+        extra={
+            'context': {
+                'user': user,
+                'content_length': len(content)
+            }
+        }
+    )
+    # ... implementation
+```
+
+### What to Log
+
+#### Always Log (INFO+)
+- Authentication attempts (success/failure)
+- Note CRUD operations
+- Configuration changes
+- Startup/shutdown
+- External API calls
+- Migration execution
+- Search queries
+
+#### Error Conditions (ERROR)
+- Database connection failures
+- Invalid Micropub requests
+- Authentication failures
+- File system errors
+- Configuration errors
+
+#### Warnings (WARNING)
+- Slow queries
+- High memory usage
+- Deprecated feature usage
+- Missing optional configuration
+- FTS5 unavailability
+
+#### Debug Information (DEBUG)
+- SQL queries executed
+- Request/response bodies
+- Template rendering details
+- Cache operations
+- Detailed timing data
+
+### What NOT to Log
+- Passwords or tokens
+- Full note content (unless debug)
+- Personal information (PII)
+- Request headers with auth
+- Database connection strings
+
+### Performance Considerations
+
+1. **Lazy Evaluation**: Use lazy % formatting
+   ```python
+   logger.debug("Processing note %s", note_id)  # Good
+   logger.debug(f"Processing note {note_id}")   # Bad
+   ```
+
+2. **Level Checking**: Check before expensive operations
+   ```python
+   if logger.isEnabledFor(logging.DEBUG):
+       logger.debug("Data: %s", expensive_serialization())
+   ```
+
+3. **Async Logging**: For high-volume scenarios (future)
+
+4. **Sampling**: For very frequent operations
+   ```python
+   if random.random() < 0.1:  # Log 10%
+       logger.debug("High frequency operation")
+   ```
+
+## Rationale
+
+### Why Standard Logging Module?
+1. **No Dependencies**: Built into Python
+2. **Industry Standard**: Well understood
+3. **Flexible**: Handlers, formatters, filters
+4. **Battle-tested**: Proven in production
+5. **Integration**: Works with existing tools
+
+### Why JSON Format?
+1. **Parseable**: Easy for log aggregators
+2. **Structured**: Consistent field access
+3. **Flexible**: Can add fields without breaking
+4. **Standard**: Widely supported
+
+### Why Not Alternatives?
+
+**structlog**:
+- Additional dependency
+- More complex API
+- Overkill for our needs
+
+**loguru**:
+- Third-party dependency
+- Non-standard API
+- Not necessary for our scale
+
+**Print statements**:
+- No levels
+- No structure
+- No filtering
+- Not production-ready
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+1. **Production Ready**: Professional logging
+2. **Debuggable**: Rich context in logs
+3. **Parseable**: Integration with log tools
+4. **Performant**: Minimal overhead
+5. **Configurable**: Adjust without code changes
+6. **Correlatable**: Request tracking via IDs
+
+### Negative
+1. **Verbosity**: More code for logging
+2. **Learning**: Developers must understand levels
+3. **Size**: JSON logs are larger than plain text
+4. **Complexity**: More setup than prints
+
+### Mitigations
+1. Provide logging utilities/helpers
+2. Document logging guidelines
+3. Use log rotation for size management
+4. Create developer-friendly formatter option
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### 1. Continue with Print Statements
+**Pros**: Simplest possible
+**Cons**: Not production-ready
+**Decision**: Inadequate for production
+
+### 2. Custom Logging Solution
+**Pros**: Exactly what we need
+**Cons**: Reinventing the wheel
+**Decision**: Standard library is sufficient
+
+### 3. External Logging Service
+**Pros**: No local storage needed
+**Cons**: Privacy, dependency, cost
+**Decision**: Conflicts with self-hosted philosophy
+
+### 4. Syslog Integration
+**Pros**: Standard Unix logging
+**Cons**: Platform-specific, complexity
+**Decision**: Can add as handler if needed
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+### Bootstrap Logging
+```python
+# Application startup
+import logging
+from starpunk.logging import setup_logging
+
+# Configure based on environment
+if os.environ.get('STARPUNK_ENV') == 'production':
+    setup_logging(level='INFO', format_type='json')
+else:
+    setup_logging(level='DEBUG', format_type='human')
+```
+
+### Request Correlation
+```python
+# Middleware sets request ID
+from uuid import uuid4
+from contextvars import copy_context
+
+def middleware(request):
+    request_id.set(str(uuid4())[:8])
+    # Process request in context
+    return copy_context().run(handler, request)
+```
+
+### Migration Strategy
+1. Phase 1: Add logging module, keep prints
+2. Phase 2: Convert prints to logger calls
+3. Phase 3: Remove print statements
+4. Phase 4: Add structured context
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+1. **Unit Tests**: Mock logger, verify calls
+2. **Integration Tests**: Verify log output format
+3. **Performance Tests**: Measure logging overhead
+4. **Configuration Tests**: Test different levels/formats
+
+## Configuration
+
+Environment variables:
+- `STARPUNK_LOG_LEVEL`: DEBUG|INFO|WARNING|ERROR|CRITICAL
+- `STARPUNK_LOG_FORMAT`: json|human
+- `STARPUNK_LOG_FILE`: Path to log file (optional)
+- `STARPUNK_LOG_ROTATION`: Enable rotation (optional)
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. Never log sensitive data
+2. Sanitize user input in logs
+3. Rate limit log output
+4. Monitor for log injection attacks
+5. Secure log file permissions

+# ADR-055: Error Handling Philosophy
+
+## Status
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+StarPunk v1.1.1 focuses on production readiness, including graceful error handling. Currently, error handling is inconsistent:
+- Some errors crash the application
+- Error messages vary in helpfulness
+- No distinction between user and system errors
+- Insufficient context for debugging
+
+We need a consistent philosophy for handling errors that balances user experience, security, and debuggability.
+
+## Decision
+Adopt a layered error handling strategy that provides graceful degradation, helpful user messages, and detailed logging for operators.
+
+### Error Handling Principles
+
+1. **Fail Gracefully**: Never crash when recovery is possible
+2. **Be Helpful**: Provide actionable error messages
+3. **Log Everything**: Detailed context for debugging
+4. **Secure by Default**: Don't leak sensitive information
+5. **User vs System**: Different handling for different audiences
+
+### Error Categories
+
+#### 1. User Errors (4xx class)
+Errors caused by user action or client issues.
+
+Examples:
+- Invalid Micropub request
+- Authentication failure
+- Missing required fields
+- Invalid slug format
+
+Handling:
+- Return helpful error message
+- Suggest corrective action
+- Log at INFO level
+- Don't expose internals
+
+#### 2. System Errors (5xx class)
+Errors in system operation.
+
+Examples:
+- Database connection failure
+- File system errors
+- Memory exhaustion
+- Template rendering errors
+
+Handling:
+- Generic user message
+- Detailed logging at ERROR level
+- Attempt recovery if possible
+- Alert operators (future)
+
+#### 3. Configuration Errors
+Errors due to misconfiguration.
+
+Examples:
+- Missing required config
+- Invalid configuration values
+- Incompatible settings
+- Permission issues
+
+Handling:
+- Fail fast at startup
+- Clear error messages
+- Suggest fixes
+- Document requirements
+
+#### 4. Transient Errors
+Temporary errors that may succeed on retry.
+
+Examples:
+- Database lock
+- Network timeout
+- Resource temporarily unavailable
+
+Handling:
+- Automatic retry with backoff
+- Log at WARNING level
+- Fail gracefully after retries
+- Track frequency
+
+### Error Response Format
+
+#### Development Mode
+```json
+{
+  "error": {
+    "type": "ValidationError",
+    "message": "Invalid slug format",
+    "details": {
+      "field": "slug",
+      "value": "my/bad/slug",
+      "pattern": "^[a-z0-9-]+$"
+    },
+    "suggestion": "Slugs can only contain lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens",
+    "documentation": "/docs/api/micropub#slugs",
+    "trace_id": "abc123"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### Production Mode
+```json
+{
+  "error": {
+    "message": "Invalid request format",
+    "suggestion": "Please check your request and try again",
+    "documentation": "/docs/api/micropub",

+
+### Error Handling Middleware
+
+```python

+    def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
+        try:
+            return func(*args, **kwargs)
+        except StarPunkError as e:
+            e.log()
+            return e.to_user_dict(debug=is_debug_mode())
+        except Exception as e:
+            # Unexpected error
+            error = StarPunkError(
+                message="An unexpected error occurred",
+                category=ErrorCategory.SYSTEM,
+                details={'original': str(e)}
+            )
+            error.log()
+            return error.to_user_dict(debug=is_debug_mode())
+    return wrapper
+```
+
+### Graceful Degradation Examples
+
+#### FTS5 Unavailable
+```python
+try:
+    # Attempt FTS5 search
+    results = search_with_fts5(query)
+except FTS5UnavailableError:
+    logger.warning("FTS5 unavailable, falling back to LIKE")
+    results = search_with_like(query)
+    flash("Search is running in compatibility mode")
+```
+
+#### Database Lock
+```python
+@retry(
+    stop=stop_after_attempt(3),
+    wait=wait_exponential(multiplier=0.5, max=2),
+    retry=retry_if_exception_type(sqlite3.OperationalError)
+)
+def execute_query(query):
+    """Execute with retry for transient errors"""
+    return db.execute(query)
+```
+
+#### Missing Optional Feature
+```python
+if not config.SEARCH_ENABLED:
+    # Return empty results instead of error
+    return {
+        'results': [],
+        'message': 'Search is disabled on this instance'
+    }
+```
+
+## Rationale
+
+### Why Graceful Degradation?
+1. **User Experience**: Don't break the whole app
+2. **Reliability**: Partial functionality better than none
+3. **Operations**: Easier to diagnose in production
+4. **Recovery**: System can self-heal from transients
+
+### Why Different Error Categories?
+1. **Appropriate Response**: Different errors need different handling
+2. **Security**: Don't expose internals for system errors
+3. **Debugging**: Operators need full context
+4. **User Experience**: Users need actionable messages
+
+### Why Structured Errors?
+1. **Consistency**: Predictable error format
+2. **Parsing**: Tools can process errors
+3. **Correlation**: Trace IDs link logs to responses
+4. **Documentation**: Self-documenting error details
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+1. **Better UX**: Helpful error messages
+2. **Easier Debugging**: Rich context in logs
+3. **More Reliable**: Graceful degradation
+4. **Secure**: No information leakage
+5. **Consistent**: Predictable error handling
+
+### Negative
+1. **More Code**: Error handling adds complexity
+2. **Testing Burden**: Many error paths to test
+3. **Performance**: Error handling overhead
+4. **Maintenance**: Error messages need updates
+
+### Mitigations
+1. Use error hierarchy to reduce duplication
+2. Generate tests for error paths
+3. Cache error messages
+4. Document error codes clearly
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### 1. Let Exceptions Bubble
+**Pros**: Simple, Python default
+**Cons**: Poor UX, crashes, no context
+**Decision**: Not production-ready
+
+### 2. Generic Error Pages
+**Pros**: Simple to implement
+**Cons**: Not helpful, poor API experience
+**Decision**: Insufficient for Micropub API
+
+### 3. Error Codes System
+**Pros**: Precise, machine-readable
+**Cons**: Complex, needs documentation
+**Decision**: Over-engineered for our scale
+
+### 4. Sentry/Error Tracking Service
+**Pros**: Rich features, alerting
+**Cons**: External dependency, privacy
+**Decision**: Conflicts with self-hosted philosophy
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+### Critical Path Protection
+Always protect critical paths:
+```python
+# Never let note creation completely fail
+try:
+    create_search_index(note)
+except Exception as e:
+    logger.error("Search indexing failed: %s", e)
+    # Continue without search - note still created
+```
+
+### Error Budget
+Track error rates for SLO monitoring:
+- User errors: Unlimited (not our fault)
+- System errors: <0.1% of requests
+- Configuration errors: 0 after startup
+- Transient errors: <1% of requests
+
+### Testing Strategy
+1. Unit tests for each error class
+2. Integration tests for error paths
+3. Chaos testing for transient errors
+4. User journey tests with errors
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. Never expose stack traces to users
+2. Sanitize error messages
+3. Rate limit error endpoints
+4. Don't leak existence via errors
+5. Log security errors specially
+
+## Migration Path
+
+1. Phase 1: Add error classes
+2. Phase 2: Wrap existing code
+3. Phase 3: Add graceful degradation
+4. Phase 4: Improve error messages

+# ADR-056: Use External IndieAuth Provider (Never Self-Host)
+
+## Status
+**ACCEPTED** - This is a permanent, non-negotiable decision.
+
+## Context
+StarPunk is a minimal IndieWeb CMS focused on **content creation and syndication**, not identity infrastructure. The project philosophy demands that every line of code must justify its existence.
+
+The question of whether to implement self-hosted IndieAuth has been raised multiple times. This ADR documents the final, permanent decision on this matter.
+
+## Decision
+**StarPunk will NEVER implement self-hosted IndieAuth.**
+
+We will always rely on external IndieAuth providers such as:
+- indielogin.com (primary recommendation)
+- Other established IndieAuth providers
+
+This decision is **permanent and non-negotiable**.
+
+## Rationale
+
+### 1. Project Focus
+StarPunk's mission is to be a minimal CMS for publishing IndieWeb content. Our core competencies are:
+- Publishing notes with proper microformats
+- Generating RSS/Atom/JSON feeds
+- Implementing Micropub for content creation
+- Media management for content
+
+Identity infrastructure is explicitly **NOT** our focus.
+
+### 2. Complexity vs Value
+Implementing IndieAuth would require:
+- OAuth 2.0 implementation
+- Token management
+- Security considerations
+- Key storage and rotation
+- User profile management
+- Authorization code flows
+
+This represents hundreds or thousands of lines of code that don't serve our core mission of content publishing.
+
+### 3. Existing Solutions Work
+External IndieAuth providers like indielogin.com:
+- Are battle-tested
+- Handle security updates
+- Support multiple authentication methods
+- Are free to use
+- Align with IndieWeb principles of building on existing infrastructure
+
+### 4. Philosophy Alignment
+Our core philosophy states: "Every line of code must justify its existence. When in doubt, leave it out."
+
+Self-hosted IndieAuth cannot justify its existence in a minimal content-focused CMS.
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+- Dramatically reduced codebase complexity
+- No security burden for identity management
+- Faster development of content features
+- Clear project boundaries
+- User authentication "just works" via proven providers
+
+### Negative
+- Dependency on external service (indielogin.com)
+- Cannot function without internet connection to auth provider
+- No control over authentication user experience
+
+### Mitigations
+- Document clear setup instructions for using indielogin.com
+- Support multiple external providers for redundancy
+- Cache authentication tokens appropriately
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### 1. Self-Hosted IndieAuth (REJECTED)
+**Why considered:** Full control over authentication
+**Why rejected:** Massive scope creep, violates project philosophy
+
+### 2. No Authentication (REJECTED)
+**Why considered:** Ultimate simplicity
+**Why rejected:** Single-user system still needs access control
+
+### 3. Basic Auth or Simple Password (REJECTED)
+**Why considered:** Very simple to implement
+**Why rejected:** Not IndieWeb compliant, poor user experience
+
+### 4. Hybrid Approach (REJECTED)
+**Why considered:** Optional self-hosted with external fallback
+**Why rejected:** Maintains complexity we're trying to avoid
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+All authentication code should:
+1. Assume an external IndieAuth provider
+2. Never include hooks or abstractions for self-hosting
+3. Document indielogin.com as the recommended provider
+4. Include clear error messages when auth provider is unavailable
+

+
+## Final Note
+This decision has been made after extensive consideration and multiple discussions. It is final.
+
+**Do not propose self-hosted IndieAuth in future architectural discussions.**
+
+The goal of StarPunk is **content**, not **identity**.

+# ADR-057: Media Attachment Model
+
+## Status
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+The v1.2.0 media upload feature needed a clear model for how media relates to notes. Initial design assumed inline markdown image insertion (like a blog editor), but user feedback clarified that notes are more like social media posts (tweets, Mastodon toots) where media is attached rather than inline.
+
+Key insights from user:
+- "Notes are more like tweets, thread posts, mastodon posts etc. where the media is inserted is kind of irrelevant"
+- Media should appear at the TOP of notes when displayed
+- Text content should appear BELOW media
+- Multiple images per note should be supported
+
+## Decision
+We will implement a social media-style attachment model for media:
+
+1. **Database Design**: Use a junction table (`note_media`) to associate media files with notes, allowing:
+   - Multiple media per note (max 4)
+   - Explicit ordering via `display_order` column
+   - Per-attachment metadata (captions)
+   - Future reuse of media across notes
+
+2. **Display Model**: Media attachments appear at the TOP of notes:
+   - 1 image: Full width display
+   - 2 images: Side-by-side layout
+   - 3-4 images: Grid layout
+   - Text content always appears below media
+
+3. **Syndication Strategy**:
+   - RSS: Embed media as HTML in description (universal support)
+   - ATOM: Use both `<link rel="enclosure">` and HTML content
+   - JSON Feed: Use native `attachments` array (cleanest)
+
+4. **Microformats2**: Multiple `u-photo` properties for multi-photo posts
+
+## Rationale
+**Why attachment model over inline markdown?**
+- Matches user mental model (social media posts)
+- Simplifies UI/UX (no cursor tracking needed)
+- Better syndication support (especially JSON Feed)
+- Cleaner Microformats2 markup
+- Consistent display across all contexts
+
+**Why junction table over array column?**
+- Better query performance for feeds
+- Supports future media reuse
+- Per-attachment metadata
+- Explicit ordering control
+- Standard relational design
+
+**Why limit to 4 images?**
+- Twitter limit is 4 images
+- Mastodon limit is 4 images
+- Prevents performance issues
+- Maintains clean grid layouts
+- Sufficient for microblogging use case
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+- Clean separation of media and text content
+- Familiar social media UX pattern
+- Excellent syndication feed support
+- Future-proof for media galleries
+- Supports accessibility via captions
+- Efficient database queries
+
+### Negative
+- No inline images in markdown content
+- All media must appear at top
+- Cannot mix text and images
+- More complex database schema
+- Additional JOIN queries needed
+
+### Neutral
+- Different from traditional blog CMSs
+- Requires grid layout CSS
+- Media upload is separate from text editing
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### Alternative 1: Inline Markdown Images
+Store media URLs in markdown content as `![alt](url)`.
+- **Pros**: Traditional blog approach, flexible positioning
+- **Cons**: Poor syndication, complex editing UX, inconsistent display
+
+### Alternative 2: JSON Array in Notes Table
+Store media IDs as JSON array column in notes table.
+- **Pros**: Simpler schema, fewer tables
+- **Cons**: Poor query performance, no per-media metadata, violates 1NF
+
+### Alternative 3: Single Media Per Note
+Restrict to one image per note.
+- **Pros**: Simplest implementation
+- **Cons**: Too limiting, doesn't match social media patterns
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+1. Migration will create both `media` and `note_media` tables
+2. Feed generators must query media via JOIN
+3. Template must render media before content
+4. Upload UI shows thumbnails, not markdown insertion
+5. Consider lazy loading for performance

+# ADR-058: Image Optimization Strategy
+
+## Status
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+The v1.2.0 media upload feature requires decisions about image size limits, optimization, and validation. Based on user requirements:
+- 4 images maximum per note (confirmed)
+- No drag-and-drop reordering needed (display order is upload order)
+- Image optimization desired
+- Optional caption field for each image (accessibility)
+
+Research was conducted on:
+- Web image best practices (2024)
+- IndieWeb implementation patterns
+- Python image processing libraries
+- Storage implications for single-user CMS
+
+## Decision
+
+### Image Limits
+We will enforce the following limits:
+
+1. **Count**: Maximum 4 images per note
+2. **File Size**: Maximum 10MB per image
+3. **Dimensions**: Maximum 4096x4096 pixels
+4. **Formats**: JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP only
+
+### Optimization Strategy
+We will implement **automatic resizing on upload**:
+
+1. **Resize Policy**:
+   - Images larger than 2048 pixels (longest edge) will be resized
+   - Aspect ratio will be preserved
+   - Original quality will be maintained (no aggressive compression)
+   - EXIF orientation will be corrected
+
+2. **Rejection Policy**:
+   - Files over 10MB will be rejected (before optimization)
+   - Dimensions over 4096x4096 will be rejected
+   - Invalid formats will be rejected
+   - Corrupted files will be rejected
+
+3. **Processing Library**: Use **Pillow** for image processing
+
+### Database Schema Updates
+Add caption field to `note_media` table:
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE note_media (
+    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
+    note_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
+    media_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
+    display_order INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
+    caption TEXT,  -- Optional caption for accessibility
+    created_at DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
+    FOREIGN KEY (note_id) REFERENCES notes(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+    FOREIGN KEY (media_id) REFERENCES media(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+    UNIQUE(note_id, media_id)
+);
+```
+
+## Rationale
+
+### Why 10MB file size limit?
+- Generous for high-quality photos from modern phones
+- Prevents storage abuse on single-user instance
+- Reasonable upload time even on slower connections
+- Matches or exceeds most social platforms
+
+### Why 4096x4096 max dimensions?
+- Covers 16-megapixel images (4000x4000)
+- Sufficient for 4K displays (3840x2160)
+- Prevents memory issues during processing
+- Larger than needed for web display
+
+### Why resize to 2048px?
+- Optimal balance between quality and performance
+- Retina-ready (2x scaling on 1024px display)
+- Significant file size reduction
+- Matches common social media limits
+- Preserves quality for most use cases
+
+### Why Pillow over alternatives?
+- De-facto standard for Python image processing
+- Fastest for basic resize operations
+- Minimal dependencies
+- Well-documented and stable
+- Sufficient for our needs (resize, format conversion, EXIF)
+
+### Why automatic optimization?
+- Better user experience (no manual intervention)
+- Consistent output quality
+- Storage efficiency
+- Faster page loads
+- Users still get good quality
+
+### Why no thumbnail generation?
+- Adds complexity for minimal benefit
+- Modern browsers handle image scaling well
+- Single-user CMS doesn't need CDN optimization
+- Can be added later if needed
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+- Automatic optimization improves performance
+- Generous limits support high-quality photography
+- Captions improve accessibility
+- Storage usage remains reasonable
+- Fast processing with Pillow
+
+### Negative
+- Users cannot upload raw/unprocessed images
+- Some quality loss for images over 2048px
+- No manual control over optimization
+- Additional processing time on upload
+
+### Neutral
+- Requires Pillow dependency
+- Images stored at single resolution
+- No progressive enhancement (thumbnails)
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### Alternative 1: No Optimization
+Accept images as-is, no processing.
+- **Pros**: Simpler, preserves originals
+- **Cons**: Storage bloat, slow page loads, memory issues
+
+### Alternative 2: Strict Limits (1MB, 1920x1080)
+Match typical web recommendations.
+- **Pros**: Optimal performance, minimal storage
+- **Cons**: Too restrictive for photography, poor UX
+
+### Alternative 3: Generate Multiple Sizes
+Create thumbnail, medium, and full sizes.
+- **Pros**: Optimal delivery, responsive images
+- **Cons**: Complex implementation, 3x storage, overkill for single-user
+
+### Alternative 4: Client-side Resizing
+Resize in browser before upload.
+- **Pros**: Reduces server load
+- **Cons**: Inconsistent quality, browser limitations, poor UX
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+1. **Validation Order**:
+   - Check file size (reject if >10MB)
+   - Check MIME type (accept only allowed formats)
+   - Load with Pillow (validates file integrity)
+   - Check dimensions (reject if >4096px)
+   - Resize if needed (>2048px)
+   - Save optimized version
+
+2. **Error Messages**:
+   - "File too large. Maximum size is 10MB"
+   - "Invalid image format. Accepted: JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP"
+   - "Image dimensions too large. Maximum is 4096x4096"
+   - "Image appears to be corrupted"
+
+3. **Pillow Configuration**:
+   ```python
+   # Preserve quality during resize
+   image.thumbnail((2048, 2048), Image.Resampling.LANCZOS)
+
+   # Correct EXIF orientation
+   ImageOps.exif_transpose(image)
+
+   # Save with original quality
+   image.save(output, quality=95, optimize=True)
+   ```
+
+4. **Caption Implementation**:
+   - Add caption field to upload form
+   - Store in `note_media.caption`
+   - Use as alt text in HTML
+   - Include in Microformats markup

+# ADR-061: Author Profile Discovery from IndieAuth
+
+## Status
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+StarPunk v1.2.0 requires Microformats2 compliance, including proper h-card author information in h-entries. The original design assumed author information would be configured via environment variables (AUTHOR_NAME, AUTHOR_PHOTO, etc.).
+
+However, since StarPunk uses IndieAuth for authentication, and users authenticate with their domain/profile URL, we have an opportunity to discover author information directly from their IndieWeb profile rather than requiring manual configuration.
+
+The user explicitly stated: "These should be retrieved from the logged in profile domain (rel me etc.)" when asked about author configuration.
+
+## Decision
+Implement automatic author profile discovery from the IndieAuth 'me' URL:
+
+1. When a user logs in via IndieAuth, fetch their profile page
+2. Parse h-card microformats and rel-me links from the profile
+3. Cache this information in a new `author_profile` database table
+4. Use discovered information in templates for Microformats2 markup
+5. Provide fallback behavior when discovery fails
+
+## Rationale
+1. **IndieWeb Native**: Discovery from profile URLs is a core IndieWeb pattern
+2. **DRY Principle**: Author already maintains their profile; no need to duplicate
+3. **Dynamic Updates**: Profile changes are reflected on next login
+4. **Standards-Based**: Uses existing h-card and rel-me specifications
+5. **User Experience**: Zero configuration for author information
+6. **Consistency**: Author info always matches their IndieWeb identity
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+- No manual configuration of author information required
+- Automatically stays in sync with user's profile
+- Supports full IndieWeb identity model
+- Works with any IndieAuth provider
+- Discoverable rel-me links for identity verification
+
+### Negative
+- Requires network request during login (mitigated by caching)
+- Depends on proper markup on user's profile page
+- Additional database table required
+- More complex than static configuration
+- Parsing complexity for microformats
+
+### Implementation Details
+
+#### Database Schema
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE author_profile (
+    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
+    me_url TEXT NOT NULL UNIQUE,
+    name TEXT,
+    photo TEXT,
+    bio TEXT,
+    rel_me_links TEXT,  -- JSON array
+    discovered_at DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
+    updated_at DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
+);
+```
+
+#### Discovery Flow
+1. User authenticates with IndieAuth
+2. On successful login, trigger discovery
+3. Fetch user's profile page (with timeout)
+4. Parse h-card for: name, photo, bio
+5. Parse rel-me links
+6. Store in database with timestamp
+7. Use cache for 7 days, refresh on login
+
+#### Fallback Strategy
+- If discovery fails during login, use cached data if available
+- If no cache exists, use minimal defaults (domain as name)
+- Never block login due to discovery failure
+- Log failures for monitoring
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### 1. Environment Variables (Original Design)
+Static configuration via .env file
+- ✅ Simple, no network requests
+- ❌ Requires manual configuration
+- ❌ Duplicates information already on profile
+- ❌ Can become out of sync
+
+### 2. Hybrid Approach
+Environment variables with optional discovery
+- ✅ Flexibility for both approaches
+- ❌ More complex configuration
+- ❌ Unclear which takes precedence
+
+### 3. Discovery Only, No Cache
+Fetch profile on every request
+- ✅ Always up to date
+- ❌ Performance impact
+- ❌ Reliability issues
+
+### 4. Static Import Tool
+CLI command to import profile once
+- ✅ No runtime discovery needed
+- ❌ Manual process
+- ❌ Can become stale
+
+## Implementation Priority
+High - Required for v1.2.0 Microformats2 compliance

+# Feed Media Handling: Architecture Options Analysis
+
+**Date**: 2025-12-09
+**Author**: StarPunk Architect
+**Status**: Proposed
+**Related**: ADR-057, Q24, Q27, Q28
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+Analysis of the current feed output reveals that RSS 2.0 lacks proper media enclosure elements, while ATOM and JSON Feed have partial implementations. This document proposes three options for fixing media handling across all feed formats.
+
+## Current State Analysis
+
+### RSS Feed (Problem)
+```xml
+<item>
+  <title>Test</title>
+  <link>http://localhost:8000/note/with-a-test-slug</link>
+  <description>&lt;div class="media"&gt;&lt;img src="..." alt="Just some dude" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Test&lt;/p&gt;</description>
+  <guid isPermaLink="true">http://localhost:8000/note/with-a-test-slug</guid>
+  <pubDate>Fri, 28 Nov 2025 23:23:13 +0000</pubDate>
+</item>
+```
+
+**Issues Identified**:
+1. No `<enclosure>` element for the image
+2. Image is only embedded as HTML in description
+3. Many feed readers (Feedly, Reeder) won't display the image prominently
+4. No `media:content` or `media:thumbnail` elements
+
+### ATOM Feed (Partial)
+```xml
+<entry>
+  <link rel="enclosure" type="image/jpeg" href="..." length="1796654"/>
+  <content type="html">...</content>
+</entry>
+```
+
+**Status**: Correctly includes enclosure link. ATOM implementation is acceptable.
+
+### JSON Feed (Partial)
+```json
+{
+  "attachments": [
+    {
+      "url": "...",
+      "mime_type": "image/jpeg",
+      "size_in_bytes": 1796654,
+      "title": "Just some dude"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**Issues Identified**:
+1. Has attachments array (correct per JSON Feed 1.1 spec)
+2. Missing top-level `image` field for featured image
+3. Some readers use `image` for thumbnail display
+
+## Standards Research Summary
+
+### RSS 2.0 Specification
+Per the [RSS 2.0 Specification](https://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification):
+- `<enclosure>` element requires: `url`, `length`, `type`
+- Only ONE enclosure per item is officially supported (though many readers accept multiple)
+- Images in `<description>` are fallback, not primary
+
+### Media RSS (MRSS) Extension
+Per the [Media RSS Specification](https://www.rssboard.org/media-rss):
+- Namespace: `http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/`
+- `<media:content>` for primary media with `medium="image"`
+- `<media:thumbnail>` for preview images
+- Provides richer metadata than basic enclosure
+
+### JSON Feed 1.1 Specification
+Per the [JSON Feed 1.1 spec](https://jsonfeed.org/version/1.1):
+- `image` field: URL of the main/featured image (for preview/thumbnail)
+- `attachments` array: Related resources (files, media)
+- Both can coexist - `image` for display, `attachments` for download
+
+### Feed Reader Compatibility Notes
+
+| Reader | Enclosure | media:content | HTML Images | Notes |
+|--------|-----------|---------------|-------------|-------|
+| Feedly | Good | Excellent | Fallback | Prefers media:thumbnail |
+| NetNewsWire | Good | Good | Yes | Displays HTML images inline |
+| Reeder | Good | Good | Yes | Uses enclosure for preview |
+| Inoreader | Good | Excellent | Yes | Full MRSS support |
+| FreshRSS | Good | Good | Yes | Displays all sources |
+| Feedbin | Good | Good | Yes | Clean HTML rendering |
+
+---
+
+## Option 1: RSS Enclosure Only (Minimal)
+
+### Description
+Add the standard RSS `<enclosure>` element to RSS feeds for the first image only, keeping HTML images in description as fallback.
+
+### Implementation Changes
+
+**File**: `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/starpunk/feeds/rss.py`
+
+```python
+# In generate_rss() after setting description
+if hasattr(note, 'media') and note.media:
+    first_media = note.media[0]
+    media_url = f"{site_url}/media/{first_media['path']}"
+    fe.enclosure(
+        url=media_url,
+        length=str(first_media.get('size', 0)),
+        type=first_media.get('mime_type', 'image/jpeg')
+    )
+```
+
+**File**: `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/starpunk/feeds/rss.py` (streaming version)
+
+```python
+# In generate_rss_streaming() item generation
+if hasattr(note, 'media') and note.media:
+    first_media = note.media[0]
+    media_url = f"{site_url}/media/{first_media['path']}"
+    mime_type = first_media.get('mime_type', 'image/jpeg')
+    size = first_media.get('size', 0)
+    yield f'      <enclosure url="{_escape_xml(media_url)}" length="{size}" type="{mime_type}"/>\n'
+```
+
+### Pros
+1. **Simplest implementation** - Single element addition
+2. **Spec-compliant** - Pure RSS 2.0, no extensions
+3. **Wide compatibility** - All RSS readers support enclosure
+4. **Low risk** - Minimal code changes
+
+### Cons
+1. **Single image only** - RSS spec ambiguous about multiple enclosures
+2. **No thumbnail metadata** - Readers must use full-size image
+3. **No alt text/caption** - Enclosure has no description attribute
+4. **Less prominent display** - Some readers treat enclosure as "download" not "display"
+
+### Complexity Score: 2/10
+
+---
+
+## Option 2: RSS + Media RSS Extension (Recommended)
+
+### Description
+Add both standard `<enclosure>` and Media RSS (`media:content`, `media:thumbnail`) elements. This provides maximum compatibility across modern feed readers while supporting multiple images and richer metadata.
+
+### Implementation Changes
+
+**File**: `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/starpunk/feeds/rss.py`
+
+Add namespace to feed:
+```python
+# Register Media RSS namespace
+fg.register_extension('media', 'http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/')
+```
+
+Add media elements per item:
+```python
+if hasattr(note, 'media') and note.media:
+    for i, media_item in enumerate(note.media):
+        media_url = f"{site_url}/media/{media_item['path']}"
+        mime_type = media_item.get('mime_type', 'image/jpeg')
+        size = media_item.get('size', 0)
+        caption = media_item.get('caption', '')
+
+        # First image: use as enclosure AND thumbnail
+        if i == 0:
+            fe.enclosure(url=media_url, length=str(size), type=mime_type)
+            # Would need custom extension handling for media:thumbnail
+
+        # All images: add as media:content
+        # Note: feedgen doesn't support media:* natively
+        # May need to use custom XML generation or switch to streaming
+```
+
+**File**: `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/starpunk/feeds/rss.py` (streaming - cleaner approach)
+
+```python
+# In XML header
+yield '<rss version="2.0" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/">\n'
+
+# In item generation

+        mime_type = media_item.get('mime_type', 'image/jpeg')

+            yield f'      </media:content>\n'
+        else:
+            yield f'/>\n'
+```
+
+### Pros
+1. **Maximum compatibility** - Works with all modern readers
+2. **Multiple images supported** - Media RSS handles arrays naturally
+3. **Rich metadata** - Captions, dimensions, alt text possible
+4. **Prominent display** - Readers using media:thumbnail show images well
+5. **Graceful degradation** - Falls back to enclosure for older readers
+
+### Cons
+1. **More complexity** - Multiple elements to generate
+2. **Namespace required** - Adds xmlns declaration
+3. **feedgen limitations** - May need streaming approach for full control
+4. **Spec sprawl** - Using RSS 2.0 + MRSS together
+
+### Complexity Score: 5/10
+
+---
+
+## Option 3: Full Standardization (All Formats)
+
+### Description
+Comprehensive update to all three feed formats ensuring consistent media handling with both structured elements AND HTML content, plus adding the `image` field to JSON Feed items.
+
+### Implementation Changes
+
+**RSS** (same as Option 2):
+- Add `<enclosure>` for first image
+- Add `<media:content>` for all images
+- Add `<media:thumbnail>` for first image
+- Keep HTML images in description
+
+**ATOM** (already mostly correct):
+- Current implementation is good
+- Consider adding `<media:thumbnail>` via MRSS namespace
+
+**JSON Feed**:
+```python
+# In _build_item_object()
+def _build_item_object(site_url: str, note: Note) -> Dict[str, Any]:
+    # ... existing code ...
+
+    # Add featured image (first image) at item level
+    if hasattr(note, 'media') and note.media:
+        first_media = note.media[0]
+        media_url = f"{site_url}/media/{first_media['path']}"
+        item["image"] = media_url  # Top-level image field
+
+        # Attachments array (existing code)
+        attachments = []
+        for media_item in note.media:
+            # ... existing attachment building ...
+        item["attachments"] = attachments
+```
+
+### Content Strategy Decision
+
+**Should HTML content include images?**
+
+Yes, always include images in HTML content (`description`, `content_html`) as well as in structured elements. Rationale:
+1. Some readers only render HTML, ignoring enclosures
+2. Ensures consistent display across all reader types
+3. ADR-057 and Q24 already mandate this approach
+4. IndieWeb convention supports redundant markup
+
+### Pros
+1. **Complete solution** - All formats fully supported
+2. **Maximum reader compatibility** - Covers all reader behaviors
+3. **Consistent experience** - Users see images regardless of reader
+4. **Future-proof** - Handles any new reader implementations
+
+### Cons
+1. **Most complex** - Changes to all three feed generators
+2. **Redundant data** - Images in multiple places (intentional)
+3. **Larger feed size** - More XML/JSON to transmit
+4. **Testing burden** - Must validate all three formats
+
+### Complexity Score: 7/10
+
+---
+
+## Recommendation
+
+**I recommend Option 2: RSS + Media RSS Extension** for the following reasons:
+
+### Rationale
+
+1. **Addresses the actual problem**: The user reported RSS as the problem format; ATOM and JSON Feed are working acceptably.
+
+2. **Best compatibility/complexity ratio**: Media RSS is widely supported by Feedly, Inoreader, and other major readers without excessive implementation burden.
+
+3. **Multiple image support**: Unlike Option 1, this handles the 2-4 image case that ADR-057 designed for.
+
+4. **Caption preservation**: Media RSS supports `<media:description>` which preserves alt text/captions.
+
+5. **Minimal JSON Feed changes**: JSON Feed only needs the `image` field addition (small change with good impact).
+
+### Implementation Priority
+
+1. **Phase 1**: Add `<enclosure>` to RSS (Option 1) - Immediate fix, 1 hour
+2. **Phase 2**: Add Media RSS namespace and elements - Enhanced fix, 2-3 hours
+3. **Phase 3**: Add `image` field to JSON Feed items - Polish, 30 minutes
+
+### Testing Validation
+
+After implementation, validate with:
+1. [W3C Feed Validator](https://validator.w3.org/feed/) - RSS/ATOM compliance
+2. [JSON Feed Validator](https://validator.jsonfeed.org/) - JSON Feed compliance
+3. Manual testing in: Feedly, NetNewsWire, Reeder, Inoreader, FreshRSS
+
+---
+
+## Decision Required
+
+The architect recommends **Option 2** but requests stakeholder input on:
+
+1. Is multiple image support in RSS essential, or is first-image-only acceptable?
+2. Are there specific feed readers that must be supported?
+3. What is the timeline for this fix?

+# Feed Media Enhancement Design: Option 2 (RSS + Media RSS Extension)
+
+## Overview
+
+This design document specifies the implementation of Option 2 for feed media support: adding Media RSS namespace elements to RSS feeds and the `image` field to JSON Feed items. This provides improved feed reader compatibility for notes with attached images.
+
+**Target Version**: v1.2.x
+**Estimated Effort**: 4-6 hours
+**Prerequisites**: Media attachment model implemented (ADR-057)
+
+## Current State
+
+### RSS Feed (`starpunk/feeds/rss.py`)
+- Embeds media as `<img>` tags within the `<description>` CDATA section
+- Uses feedgen library for RSS 2.0 generation
+- No `<enclosure>` elements
+- No Media RSS namespace
+
+### JSON Feed (`starpunk/feeds/json_feed.py`)
+- Includes media in `attachments` array (per JSON Feed 1.1 spec)
+- Includes media as `<img>` tags in `content_html`
+- No top-level `image` field for items
+
+### Note Model
+- Media accessed via `note.media` property (list of dicts)
+- Each media item has: `path`, `mime_type`, `size`, `caption` (optional)
+
+## Design Goals
+
+1. **Standards Compliance**: Follow Media RSS spec and JSON Feed 1.1 spec
+2. **Backward Compatibility**: Keep existing HTML embedding for universal reader support
+3. **Feed Reader Optimization**: Add structured metadata for enhanced display
+4. **Minimal Changes**: Modify only feed generation, no database changes
+
+## Files to Modify
+
+### 1. `starpunk/feeds/rss.py`
+
+**Changes Required**:
+
+#### A. Add Media RSS Namespace to Feed Generator
+
+Location: `generate_rss()` function and `generate_rss_streaming()` function
+
+```python
+# Add namespace registration before generating XML
+# For feedgen-based generation:
+fg.load_extension('media', rss=True)  # feedgen has built-in media extension
+
+# For streaming generation, add to opening RSS tag:
+'<rss version="2.0" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/">\n'
+```
+
+#### B. Add RSS `<enclosure>` Element (First Image Only)
+
+Per RSS 2.0 spec, only ONE enclosure per item is allowed. Use the first image.
+
+```python
+# In item generation, after setting description:
+if hasattr(note, 'media') and note.media:
+    first_media = note.media[0]
+    media_url = f"{site_url}/media/{first_media['path']}"
+    fe.enclosure(
+        url=media_url,
+        length=str(first_media.get('size', 0)),
+        type=first_media.get('mime_type', 'image/jpeg')
+    )
+```
+
+#### C. Add Media RSS Elements (All Images)
+
+For each image, add `<media:content>` and optional `<media:description>`:
+
+```python
+# Using feedgen's media extension:
+for media_item in note.media:
+    media_url = f"{site_url}/media/{media_item['path']}"
+
+    # Add media:content
+    fe.media.content({
+        'url': media_url,
+        'type': media_item.get('mime_type', 'image/jpeg'),
+        'medium': 'image',
+        'fileSize': str(media_item.get('size', 0))
+    })
+
+    # Add media:description if caption exists
+    if media_item.get('caption'):
+        fe.media.description(media_item['caption'], type='plain')
+
+# Add media:thumbnail for first image
+if note.media:
+    first_media = note.media[0]
+    fe.media.thumbnail({
+        'url': f"{site_url}/media/{first_media['path']}"
+    })
+```
+
+#### D. Expected XML Output Structure
+
+For an item with 2 images:
+
+```xml
+<item>
+  <title>My Note Title</title>
+  <link>https://example.com/note/my-slug</link>
+  <guid isPermaLink="true">https://example.com/note/my-slug</guid>
+  <pubDate>Mon, 09 Dec 2024 12:00:00 +0000</pubDate>
+
+  <!-- Standard RSS enclosure (first image only) -->
+  <enclosure url="https://example.com/media/2024/12/image1.jpg"
+             length="245760"
+             type="image/jpeg"/>
+
+  <!-- Media RSS elements (all images) -->
+  <media:content url="https://example.com/media/2024/12/image1.jpg"
+                 type="image/jpeg"
+                 medium="image"
+                 fileSize="245760"/>
+  <media:content url="https://example.com/media/2024/12/image2.jpg"
+                 type="image/jpeg"
+                 medium="image"
+                 fileSize="198432"/>
+
+  <!-- Thumbnail (first image) -->
+  <media:thumbnail url="https://example.com/media/2024/12/image1.jpg"/>
+
+  <!-- Caption if present -->
+  <media:description type="plain">Photo from today's hike</media:description>
+
+  <!-- Description with embedded HTML (for legacy readers) -->
+  <description><![CDATA[
+    <div class="media">
+      <img src="https://example.com/media/2024/12/image1.jpg" alt="Photo from today's hike" />
+      <img src="https://example.com/media/2024/12/image2.jpg" alt="" />
+    </div>
+    <p>Note content here...</p>
+  ]]></description>
+</item>
+```
+
+### 2. `starpunk/feeds/json_feed.py`
+
+**Changes Required**:
+
+#### A. Add `image` Field to Item Objects
+
+Per JSON Feed 1.1 spec, `image` is "the URL of the main image for the item."
+
+Location: `_build_item_object()` function
+
+```python
+def _build_item_object(site_url: str, note: Note) -> Dict[str, Any]:
+    # ... existing code ...
+
+    # Add image field (URL of first/main image)
+    # Per JSON Feed 1.1: "the URL of the main image for the item"
+    if hasattr(note, 'media') and note.media:
+        first_media = note.media[0]
+        item["image"] = f"{site_url}/media/{first_media['path']}"
+
+    # ... rest of existing code (content_html, attachments, etc.) ...
+```
+
+#### B. Expected JSON Output Structure
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "https://example.com/note/my-slug",
+  "url": "https://example.com/note/my-slug",
+  "title": "My Note Title",
+  "date_published": "2024-12-09T12:00:00Z",
+
+  "image": "https://example.com/media/2024/12/image1.jpg",
+
+  "content_html": "<div class=\"media\"><img src=\"https://example.com/media/2024/12/image1.jpg\" alt=\"Photo from today's hike\" /><img src=\"https://example.com/media/2024/12/image2.jpg\" alt=\"\" /></div><p>Note content here...</p>",
+
+  "attachments": [
+    {
+      "url": "https://example.com/media/2024/12/image1.jpg",
+      "mime_type": "image/jpeg",
+      "title": "Photo from today's hike",
+      "size_in_bytes": 245760
+    },
+    {
+      "url": "https://example.com/media/2024/12/image2.jpg",
+      "mime_type": "image/jpeg",
+      "size_in_bytes": 198432
+    }
+  ],
+
+  "_starpunk": {
+    "permalink_path": "/note/my-slug",
+    "word_count": 42
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### RSS Implementation: feedgen vs Manual Streaming
+
+**For `generate_rss()` (feedgen-based)**:
+
+The feedgen library has a media extension. Check if it's available:
+
+```python
+# Test if feedgen supports media extension
+from feedgen.ext.media import MediaExtension
+
+# If supported, use:
+fg.register_extension('media', MediaExtension, rss=True)
+```
+
+If feedgen's media extension is insufficient, consider manual XML injection after feedgen generates the base XML.
+
+**For `generate_rss_streaming()` (manual XML)**:
+
+Modify the streaming generator to include media elements. This requires:
+
+1. Update the opening RSS tag to include media namespace
+2. Add `<enclosure>` element after `<pubDate>`
+3. Add `<media:content>` elements for each image
+4. Add `<media:thumbnail>` for first image
+5. Add `<media:description>` if caption exists
+
+### JSON Feed Implementation
+
+Straightforward addition in `_build_item_object()`:
+
+```python
+# Add image field if media exists
+if hasattr(note, 'media') and note.media:
+    first_media = note.media[0]
+    item["image"] = f"{site_url}/media/{first_media['path']}"
+```
+
+## Testing Requirements
+
+### Unit Tests to Add/Modify
+
+**File**: `tests/test_feeds_rss.py` (create or extend)
+
+```python
+def test_rss_enclosure_for_note_with_media():
+    """RSS item should include enclosure element for first image."""
+    # Create note with media
+    # Generate RSS
+    # Parse XML, verify <enclosure> present with correct attributes
+
+def test_rss_media_content_for_all_images():
+    """RSS item should include media:content for each image."""
+    # Create note with 2 images
+    # Generate RSS
+    # Parse XML, verify 2 <media:content> elements
+
+def test_rss_media_thumbnail_for_first_image():
+    """RSS item should include media:thumbnail for first image."""
+    # Create note with media
+    # Generate RSS
+    # Parse XML, verify <media:thumbnail> present
+
+def test_rss_media_description_for_caption():
+    """RSS item should include media:description if caption exists."""
+    # Create note with captioned image
+    # Generate RSS
+    # Parse XML, verify <media:description> present
+
+def test_rss_no_media_elements_without_attachments():
+    """RSS item without media should have no media elements."""
+    # Create note without media
+    # Generate RSS
+    # Parse XML, verify no enclosure or media:* elements
+
+def test_rss_namespace_declaration():
+    """RSS feed should declare media namespace."""
+    # Generate any RSS feed
+    # Verify xmlns:media attribute in root element
+```
+
+**File**: `tests/test_feeds_json.py` (create or extend)
+
+```python
+def test_json_feed_image_field_for_note_with_media():
+    """JSON Feed item should include image field for first image."""
+    # Create note with media
+    # Generate JSON feed
+    # Parse JSON, verify "image" field present with correct URL
+
+def test_json_feed_no_image_field_without_media():
+    """JSON Feed item without media should not have image field."""
+    # Create note without media
+    # Generate JSON feed
+    # Parse JSON, verify "image" field not present
+
+def test_json_feed_image_uses_first_media():
+    """JSON Feed image field should use first media item URL."""
+    # Create note with 3 images
+    # Generate JSON feed
+    # Verify "image" URL matches first image path
+```
+
+### Feed Validation Tests
+
+**Manual Validation** (document in test plan):
+
+1. **W3C Feed Validator**: https://validator.w3.org/feed/
+   - Submit generated RSS feed
+   - Verify no errors for media:* elements
+   - Note: Validator may warn about unknown extensions (acceptable)
+
+2. **Feed Reader Testing**:
+   - Feedly: Verify images display in article preview
+   - NetNewsWire: Check media thumbnail in list view
+   - Feedbin: Test image extraction
+   - RSS.app: Verify enclosure handling
+
+3. **JSON Feed Validator**: Use online JSON Feed validator
+   - Verify `image` field accepted
+   - Verify `attachments` array valid
+
+### Integration Tests
+
+```python
+def test_rss_route_with_media_notes(client, app):
+    """GET /feed.xml with media notes returns valid RSS with media elements."""
+    # Create test notes with media
+    # Request /feed.xml
+    # Verify response contains media namespace and elements
+
+def test_json_route_with_media_notes(client, app):
+    """GET /feed.json with media notes returns JSON with image fields."""
+    # Create test notes with media
+    # Request /feed.json
+    # Verify response contains image fields
+```
+

+# Hotfix Design: v1.1.1-rc.2 - Metrics Dashboard Template Data Mismatch
+
+## Problem Summary
+
+Production deployment of v1.1.1-rc.1 exposed two critical issues in the metrics dashboard:
+
+1. **Route Conflict** (Fixed in initial attempt): Two routes mapped to similar paths causing ambiguity
+2. **Template/Data Mismatch** (Root cause): Template expects different data structure than monitoring module provides
+
+### The Template/Data Mismatch
+
+**Template Expects** (`metrics_dashboard.html` line 163):
+```jinja2
+{{ metrics.database.count|default(0) }}
+{{ metrics.database.avg|default(0) }}
+{{ metrics.database.min|default(0) }}
+{{ metrics.database.max|default(0) }}
+```
+
+**Monitoring Module Returns**:
+```python
+{
+    "by_type": {
+        "database": {
+            "count": 50,
+            "avg_duration_ms": 12.5,
+            "min_duration_ms": 2.0,
+            "max_duration_ms": 45.0
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Note the two mismatches:
+1. **Nesting**: Template wants `metrics.database` but gets `metrics.by_type.database`
+2. **Field Names**: Template wants `avg` but gets `avg_duration_ms`
+
+## Solution: Route Adapter Pattern
+
+Transform data at the presentation layer (route handler) to match template expectations.
+
+### Implementation
+
+Added a transformer function in `admin.py` that:
+1. Flattens the nested structure (`by_type.database` → `database`)
+2. Maps field names (`avg_duration_ms` → `avg`)
+3. Provides safe defaults for missing data
+
+```python
+def transform_metrics_for_template(metrics_stats):
+    """Transform metrics stats to match template structure"""
+    transformed = {}
+
+    # Map by_type to direct access with field name mapping
+    for op_type in ['database', 'http', 'render']:
+        if 'by_type' in metrics_stats and op_type in metrics_stats['by_type']:
+            type_data = metrics_stats['by_type'][op_type]
+            transformed[op_type] = {
+                'count': type_data.get('count', 0),
+                'avg': type_data.get('avg_duration_ms', 0),  # Note field name change
+                'min': type_data.get('min_duration_ms', 0),
+                'max': type_data.get('max_duration_ms', 0)
+            }
+        else:
+            # Safe defaults
+            transformed[op_type] = {'count': 0, 'avg': 0, 'min': 0, 'max': 0}
+
+    # Keep other top-level stats
+    transformed['total_count'] = metrics_stats.get('total_count', 0)
+    transformed['max_size'] = metrics_stats.get('max_size', 1000)
+    transformed['process_id'] = metrics_stats.get('process_id', 0)
+
+    return transformed
+```
+
+### Why This Approach?
+
+1. **Minimal Risk**: Only changes route handler, not core monitoring module
+2. **Preserves API**: Monitoring module remains unchanged for other consumers
+3. **No Template Changes**: Avoids modifying template and JavaScript
+4. **Clear Separation**: Route acts as adapter between business logic and view
+
+## Additional Fixes Applied
+
+1. **Route Path Change**: `/admin/dashboard` → `/admin/metrics-dashboard` (prevents conflict)
+2. **Defensive Imports**: Graceful handling of missing monitoring module
+3. **Error Handling**: Safe defaults when metrics collection fails
+
+## Testing and Validation
+
+Created comprehensive test script validating:
+- Data structure transformation works correctly
+- All template fields accessible after transformation
+- Safe defaults provided for missing data
+- Field name mapping correct
+
+All 32 admin route tests pass with 100% success rate.
+
+## Files Modified
+
+1. `/starpunk/routes/admin.py`:
+   - Lines 218-260: Added transformer function
+   - Line 263: Changed route path
+   - Lines 285-314: Applied transformer and added error handling
+
+2. `/starpunk/__init__.py`: Version bump to 1.1.1-rc.2
+
+3. `/CHANGELOG.md`: Documented hotfix
+
+## Production Impact
+
+**Before**: 500 error with `'dict object' has no attribute 'database'`
+**After**: Metrics dashboard loads correctly with properly structured data
+
+This is a tactical bug fix, not an architectural change, and should be documented as such.

+# Hotfix Design: v1.1.1-rc.2 Route Conflict Resolution
+
+## Problem Summary
+Production deployment of v1.1.1-rc.1 causes 500 error at `/admin/dashboard` due to:
+1. Route naming conflict between two dashboard functions
+2. Missing `starpunk.monitoring` module causing ImportError
+
+## Root Cause Analysis
+
+### Primary Issue: Route Conflict
+```python
+# Line 26: Original dashboard
+@bp.route("/")  # Registered as "admin.dashboard"
+def dashboard():  # Function name creates endpoint "admin.dashboard"
+    # Shows notes list
+
+# Line 218: Metrics dashboard
+@bp.route("/dashboard")  # CONFLICT: Also accessible at /admin/dashboard
+def metrics_dashboard():  # Function name creates endpoint "admin.metrics_dashboard"
+    from starpunk.monitoring import get_metrics_stats  # FAILS: Module doesn't exist
+```
+
+### Secondary Issue: Missing Module
+The metrics dashboard attempts to import `starpunk.monitoring` which doesn't exist in production, causing immediate ImportError on route access.
+
+## Solution Design
+
+### Minimal Code Changes
+
+#### 1. Route Path Change (admin.py)
+**Line 218 - Change route decorator:**
+```python
+# FROM:
+@bp.route("/dashboard")
+
+# TO:
+@bp.route("/metrics-dashboard")
+```
+
+This single character change resolves the route conflict while maintaining all other functionality.
+
+#### 2. Defensive Import Pattern (admin.py)
+**Lines 239-250 - Add graceful degradation:**
+```python
+def metrics_dashboard():
+    """Metrics visualization dashboard (Phase 3)"""
+    # Defensive imports with fallback
+    try:
+        from starpunk.database.pool import get_pool_stats
+        from starpunk.monitoring import get_metrics_stats
+        monitoring_available = True
+    except ImportError:
+        monitoring_available = False
+        get_pool_stats = lambda: {"error": "Pool stats not available"}
+        get_metrics_stats = lambda: {"error": "Monitoring not implemented"}
+
+    # Continue with safe execution...
+```
+
+### URL Structure After Fix
+
+| Path | Function | Purpose | Status |
+|------|----------|---------|--------|
+| `/admin/` | `dashboard()` | Notes list | Working |
+| `/admin/metrics-dashboard` | `metrics_dashboard()` | Metrics viz | Fixed |
+| `/admin/metrics` | `metrics()` | JSON API | Working |
+| `/admin/health` | `health_diagnostics()` | Health check | Working |
+
+### Redirect Behavior
+
+All existing redirects using `url_for("admin.dashboard")` will continue to work:
+- They resolve to the `dashboard()` function
+- Users land on the notes list at `/admin/`
+- No code changes needed in 8+ redirect locations
+
+### Navigation Updates
+
+The template at `/templates/admin/base.html` is already correct:
+```html
+<a href="{{ url_for('admin.dashboard') }}">Dashboard</a>  <!-- Goes to /admin/ -->
+<a href="{{ url_for('admin.metrics_dashboard') }}">Metrics</a>  <!-- Goes to /admin/metrics-dashboard -->
+```
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+### Step 1: Create Hotfix Branch
+```bash
+git checkout -b hotfix/v1.1.1-rc2-route-conflict
+```
+
+### Step 2: Apply Code Changes
+1. Edit `/starpunk/routes/admin.py`:
+   - Change line 218 route decorator
+   - Add try/except around monitoring imports (lines 239-250)
+   - Add try/except around pool stats import (line 284)
+
+### Step 3: Local Testing
+```bash
+# Test without monitoring module (production scenario)
+uv run python -m pytest tests/test_admin_routes.py
+uv run flask run
+
+# Verify:
+# 1. /admin/ shows notes
+# 2. /admin/metrics-dashboard doesn't 500
+# 3. All CRUD operations work
+```
+
+### Step 4: Update Version
+Edit `/starpunk/__init__.py`:
+```python
+__version__ = "1.1.1-rc.2"
+```
+
+### Step 5: Document in CHANGELOG
+Add to `/CHANGELOG.md`:
+```markdown
+## [1.1.1-rc.2] - 2025-11-25
+
+### Fixed
+- Critical: Resolved route conflict causing 500 error on /admin/dashboard
+- Added defensive imports for missing monitoring module
+- Renamed metrics dashboard route to /admin/metrics-dashboard for clarity
+```
+
+## Testing Checklist
+
+### Functional Tests
+- [ ] `/admin/` displays notes dashboard
+- [ ] `/admin/metrics-dashboard` loads without 500 error
+- [ ] Create note redirects to `/admin/`
+- [ ] Edit note redirects to `/admin/`
+- [ ] Delete note redirects to `/admin/`
+- [ ] Navigation links work correctly
+- [ ] `/admin/metrics` JSON endpoint works
+- [ ] `/admin/health` diagnostic endpoint works
+
+### Error Handling Tests

+- [ ] Flash messages display appropriately
+
+### Regression Tests
+- [ ] IndieAuth login flow works
+- [ ] Note CRUD operations unchanged
+- [ ] RSS feed generation works
+- [ ] Micropub endpoint functional
+
+## Rollback Plan
+
+If issues discovered after deployment:
+1. Revert to v1.1.1-rc.1
+2. Users directed to `/admin/` instead of `/admin/dashboard`
+3. Metrics dashboard temporarily disabled
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+1. **No 500 Errors**: All admin routes respond with 200/300 status codes
+2. **Backward Compatible**: Existing functionality unchanged
+3. **Clear Navigation**: Users can access both dashboards
+4. **Graceful Degradation**: Missing modules handled elegantly
+
+## Long-term Recommendations
+
+### For v1.2.0
+1. Implement `starpunk.monitoring` module properly
+2. Add comprehensive metrics collection
+3. Consider dashboard consolidation
+
+### For v2.0.0
+1. Restructure admin area with sub-blueprints
+2. Implement consistent URL patterns
+3. Add dashboard customization options
+
+## Risk Assessment

+# Hotfix Validation Script for v1.1.1-rc.2
+
+## Quick Validation Commands
+
+Run these commands after applying the hotfix to verify it works:
+
+### 1. Check Route Registration
+```python
+# In Flask shell (uv run flask shell)
+from starpunk import create_app
+app = create_app()
+
+# List all admin routes
+for rule in app.url_map.iter_rules():
+    if 'admin' in rule.endpoint:
+        print(f"{rule.endpoint:30} -> {rule.rule}")
+
+# Expected output:
+# admin.dashboard               -> /admin/
+# admin.metrics_dashboard       -> /admin/metrics-dashboard
+# admin.metrics                 -> /admin/metrics
+# admin.health_diagnostics      -> /admin/health
+# (plus CRUD routes)
+```
+
+### 2. Test URL Resolution
+```python
+# In Flask shell
+from flask import url_for
+with app.test_request_context():
+    print("Notes dashboard:", url_for('admin.dashboard'))
+    print("Metrics dashboard:", url_for('admin.metrics_dashboard'))
+
+# Expected output:
+# Notes dashboard: /admin/
+# Metrics dashboard: /admin/metrics-dashboard
+```
+
+### 3. Simulate Production Environment (No Monitoring Module)
+```bash
+# Temporarily rename monitoring module if it exists
+mv starpunk/monitoring.py starpunk/monitoring.py.bak 2>/dev/null
+
+# Start the server
+uv run flask run
+
+# Test the routes
+curl -I http://localhost:5000/admin/  # Should return 302 (redirect to auth)
+curl -I http://localhost:5000/admin/metrics-dashboard  # Should return 302 (not 500!)
+
+# Restore monitoring module if it existed
+mv starpunk/monitoring.py.bak starpunk/monitoring.py 2>/dev/null
+```
+
+### 4. Manual Browser Testing
+
+After logging in with IndieAuth:
+
+1. Navigate to `/admin/` - Should show notes list
+2. Click "Metrics" in navigation - Should load `/admin/metrics-dashboard`
+3. Click "Dashboard" in navigation - Should return to `/admin/`
+4. Create a new note - Should redirect to `/admin/` after creation
+5. Edit a note - Should redirect to `/admin/` after saving
+6. Delete a note - Should redirect to `/admin/` after deletion
+
+### 5. Check Error Logs
+```bash
+# Monitor Flask logs for any errors
+uv run flask run 2>&1 | grep -E "(ERROR|CRITICAL|ImportError|500)"
+
+# Should see NO output related to route conflicts or import errors
+```
+
+### 6. Automated Test Suite
+```bash
+# Run the admin route tests
+uv run python -m pytest tests/test_admin_routes.py -v
+
+# All tests should pass
+```
+
+## Production Verification
+
+After deploying to production:
+
+### 1. Health Check
+```bash
+curl https://starpunk.thesatelliteoflove.com/health
+# Should return 200 OK
+```
+
+### 2. Admin Routes (requires auth)
+```bash
+# These should not return 500
+curl -I https://starpunk.thesatelliteoflove.com/admin/
+curl -I https://starpunk.thesatelliteoflove.com/admin/metrics-dashboard
+```
+
+### 3. Monitor Error Logs
+```bash
+# Check production logs for any 500 errors
+tail -f /var/log/starpunk/error.log | grep "500"
+# Should see no new 500 errors
+```
+
+### 4. User Verification
+1. Log in to admin panel
+2. Verify both dashboards accessible
+3. Perform one CRUD operation to verify redirects
+
+## Rollback Commands
+
+If issues are discovered:
+
+```bash
+# Quick rollback to previous version
+git checkout v1.1.1-rc.1
+systemctl restart starpunk
+
+# Or if using containers
+docker pull starpunk:v1.1.1-rc.1
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+## Success Indicators
+
+✅ No 500 errors in logs
+✅ Both dashboards accessible
+✅ All redirects work correctly
+✅ Navigation links functional
+✅ No ImportError in logs
+✅ Existing functionality unchanged
+
+## Report Template

+# Media Display Fixes - Architectural Design
+
+## Status
+Active
+
+## Problem Statement
+Three issues with current media display implementation:
+1. **Images too large** - No CSS constraints on image dimensions
+2. **Captions visible** - Currently showing figcaption, should use alt text only
+3. **Images missing on homepage** - Media not fetched or displayed in index.html
+
+## Root Cause Analysis
+
+### Issue 1: Images Too Large
+The current CSS (`/static/css/style.css`) has NO styles for:
+- `.note-media` container
+- `.media-item` figure elements
+- `.u-photo` images
+- Responsive image constraints
+
+Images display at their native dimensions, which can break layouts.
+
+### Issue 2: Captions Visible
+Template (`note.html` lines 25-27) explicitly renders figcaption:
+```html
+{% if item.caption %}
+<figcaption>{{ item.caption }}</figcaption>
+{% endif %}
+```
+This violates the social media pattern where captions are for accessibility (alt text) only.
+
+### Issue 3: Missing Homepage Media
+The index route (`public.py` line 231) doesn't fetch media:
+```python
+notes = list_notes(published_only=True, limit=20)
+```
+Compare to the note route (lines 263-267) which DOES fetch media.
+
+## Architectural Solution
+
+### Design Principles
+1. **Consistency**: Same media display logic on all pages
+2. **Responsive**: Images adapt to viewport and container
+3. **Accessible**: Alt text for screen readers, no visible captions
+4. **Performance**: Lazy loading for below-fold images
+5. **Standards**: Proper Microformats2 markup maintained
+
+### Component Architecture
+
+#### 1. CSS Media Display System
+Create responsive, constrained image display with grid layouts:
+
+```css
+/* Media container styles */
+.note-media {
+  margin-bottom: var(--spacing-md);
+  width: 100%;
+}
+
+/* Single image - full width */
+.note-media:has(.media-item:only-child) {
+  max-width: 100%;
+}
+
+.note-media:has(.media-item:only-child) .media-item {
+  width: 100%;
+}
+
+/* Two images - side by side */
+.note-media:has(.media-item:nth-child(2):last-child) {
+  display: grid;
+  grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 1fr);
+  gap: var(--spacing-sm);
+}
+
+/* Three or four images - grid */
+.note-media:has(.media-item:nth-child(3)),
+.note-media:has(.media-item:nth-child(4)) {
+  display: grid;
+  grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 1fr);
+  gap: var(--spacing-sm);
+}
+
+/* Media item wrapper */
+.media-item {
+  margin: 0;
+  padding: 0;
+  background: var(--color-bg-alt);
+  border-radius: var(--border-radius);
+  overflow: hidden;
+  aspect-ratio: 1 / 1; /* Instagram-style square crop */
+  display: flex;
+  align-items: center;
+  justify-content: center;
+}
+
+/* Image constraints */
+.media-item img,
+.u-photo {
+  width: 100%;
+  height: 100%;
+  object-fit: cover; /* Crop to fill container */
+  display: block;
+}
+
+/* For single images, allow natural aspect ratio */
+.note-media:has(.media-item:only-child) .media-item {
+  aspect-ratio: auto;
+  max-height: 500px; /* Prevent extremely tall images */
+}
+
+.note-media:has(.media-item:only-child) .media-item img {
+  object-fit: contain; /* Show full image for singles */
+  width: 100%;
+  height: auto;
+  max-height: 500px;
+}
+
+/* Remove figcaption from display */
+.media-item figcaption {
+  display: none; /* Captions are for alt text only */
+}
+
+/* Mobile responsive adjustments */
+@media (max-width: 767px) {
+  /* Stack images vertically on small screens */
+  .note-media:has(.media-item:nth-child(2):last-child) {
+    grid-template-columns: 1fr;
+  }
+
+  .media-item {
+    aspect-ratio: 16 / 9; /* Wider aspect on mobile */
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### 2. Template Refactoring
+
+Create a reusable macro for media display to ensure consistency:
+
+**New template partial: `templates/partials/media.html`**
+```jinja2
+{# Reusable media display macro #}
+{% macro display_media(media_items) %}
+  {% if media_items %}
+  <div class="note-media">
+    {% for item in media_items %}
+    <figure class="media-item">
+      <img src="{{ url_for('public.media_file', path=item.path) }}"
+           alt="{{ item.caption or 'Image' }}"
+           class="u-photo"
+           loading="lazy">
+      {# No figcaption - caption is for alt text only #}
+    </figure>
+    {% endfor %}
+  </div>
+  {% endif %}
+{% endmacro %}
+```
+
+**Updated `note.html`** (lines 16-31):
+```jinja2
+{# Import media macro #}
+{% from "partials/media.html" import display_media %}
+
+{# Media display at TOP (v1.2.0 Phase 3, per ADR-057) #}
+{{ display_media(note.media) }}
+```
+
+**Updated `index.html`** (after line 26, before e-content):
+```jinja2
+{# Import media macro at top of file #}
+{% from "partials/media.html" import display_media %}
+
+{# In the note loop, after the title check #}
+      {% if has_explicit_title %}
+      <h3 class="p-name">{{ note.title }}</h3>
+      {% endif %}
+
+      {# Media preview (if available) #}
+      {{ display_media(note.media) }}
+
+      {# e-content: note content (preview) #}
+      <div class="e-content">
+```
+
+#### 3. Route Handler Updates
+
+Update the index route to fetch media for each note:
+
+**`starpunk/routes/public.py`** (lines 219-233):
+```python
+@bp.route("/")
+def index():
+    """
+    Homepage displaying recent published notes with media
+
+    Returns:
+        Rendered homepage template with note list including media
+
+    Template: templates/index.html
+    Microformats: h-feed containing h-entry items with u-photo
+    """
+    from starpunk.media import get_note_media
+
+    # Get recent published notes (limit 20)
+    notes = list_notes(published_only=True, limit=20)
+
+    # Attach media to each note for display
+    for note in notes:
+        media = get_note_media(note.id)
+        # Use object.__setattr__ since Note is frozen dataclass
+        object.__setattr__(note, 'media', media)
+
+    return render_template("index.html", notes=notes)
+```
+
+### Implementation Guidelines
+
+#### Phase 1: CSS Foundation
+1. Add media display styles to `/static/css/style.css`
+2. Test with 1, 2, 3, and 4 image layouts
+3. Verify responsive behavior on mobile/tablet/desktop
+4. Ensure images don't overflow containers
+
+#### Phase 2: Template Refactoring
+1. Create `templates/partials/` directory if not exists
+2. Create `media.html` with display macro
+3. Update `note.html` to use macro
+4. Update `index.html` to import and use macro
+5. Remove figcaption rendering completely
+
+#### Phase 3: Route Updates
+1. Import `get_note_media` in index route
+2. Fetch media for each note in loop
+3. Attach media using `object.__setattr__`
+4. Verify media passes to template
+
+### Testing Checklist
+
+#### Visual Tests
+- [ ] Single image displays at reasonable size
+- [ ] Two images display side-by-side
+- [ ] Three images display in 2x2 grid (one empty)
+- [ ] Four images display in 2x2 grid
+- [ ] Images maintain aspect ratio appropriately
+- [ ] No layout overflow on any screen size
+- [ ] Captions not visible (alt text only)
+
+#### Functional Tests
+- [ ] Homepage shows media for notes
+- [ ] Individual note page shows media
+- [ ] Media lazy loads below fold
+- [ ] Alt text present for accessibility
+- [ ] Microformats2 u-photo preserved
+
+#### Performance Tests
+- [ ] Page load time acceptable with media
+- [ ] Images don't block initial render
+- [ ] Lazy loading works correctly
+
+### Security Considerations
+- Media paths already sanitized in media_file route
+- Alt text must be HTML-escaped in templates
+- No user-controlled CSS injection points
+
+### Accessibility Requirements
+- Alt text MUST be present (fallback to "Image")
+- Images must not convey information not in text
+- Focus indicators for keyboard navigation
+- Proper semantic HTML (figure elements)
+
+### Future Enhancements (Not for V1)
+- Image optimization/resizing on upload
+- WebP format support with fallbacks
+- Lightbox for full-size viewing
+- Video/audio media support
+- CDN integration for media serving
+
+## Decision Rationale
+
+### Why Grid Layout?
+- Native CSS, no JavaScript required
+- Excellent responsive support
+- Handles variable image counts elegantly
+- Familiar social media pattern
+
+### Why Hide Captions?
+- Follows Twitter/Mastodon pattern
+- Captions are for accessibility (alt text)
+- Cleaner visual presentation
+- Text content provides context
+
+### Why Lazy Loading?
+- Improves initial page load
+- Reduces bandwidth for visitors
+- Native browser support
+- Progressive enhancement
+
+### Why Aspect Ratio Control?
+- Prevents layout shift during load
+- Creates consistent grid appearance
+- Matches social media expectations
+- Improves visual harmony
+
+## Implementation Priority
+1. **Critical**: Fix homepage media display (functionality gap)
+2. **High**: Add CSS constraints (UX/visual issue)
+3. **Medium**: Hide captions (visual polish)
+
+All three fixes should be implemented together for consistency.

+# Bug Fixes and Edge Cases Specification
+
+## Overview
+This specification details the bug fixes and edge case handling improvements planned for v1.1.1, focusing on test stability, Unicode handling, memory optimization, and session management.
+
+## Bug Fixes
+
+### 1. Migration Race Condition in Tests
+
+#### Problem
+10 tests exhibit flaky behavior due to race conditions during database migration execution. Tests occasionally fail when migrations are executed concurrently or when the test database isn't properly initialized.
+
+#### Root Cause
+- Concurrent test execution without proper isolation
+- Shared database state between tests
+- Migration lock not properly acquired
+- Test fixtures not waiting for migration completion
+
+#### Solution
+```python
+# starpunk/testing/fixtures.py
+import threading
+import tempfile
+from contextlib import contextmanager
+
+# Global lock for test database operations
+_test_db_lock = threading.Lock()
+
+@contextmanager
+def isolated_test_database():
+    """Create isolated database for testing"""
+    with _test_db_lock:
+        # Create unique temp database
+        temp_db = tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(
+            suffix='.db',
+            delete=False
+        )
+        db_path = temp_db.name
+        temp_db.close()
+
+        try:
+            # Initialize database with migrations
+            run_migrations_sync(db_path)
+
+            # Yield database for test
+            yield db_path

+# StarPunk v1.1.1 "Polish" - Developer Q&A
+
+**Date**: 2025-11-25
+**Developer**: Developer Agent
+**Architect**: Architect Agent
+
+This document contains the Q&A session between the developer and architect during v1.1.1 design review.
+
+## Purpose
+
+The developer reviewed all v1.1.1 design documentation and prepared questions about implementation details, integration points, and edge cases. This document contains the architect's answers to guide implementation.
+
+## Critical Questions (Must be answered before implementation)
+
+### Q1: Configuration System Integration
+**Developer Question**: The design calls for centralized configuration. I see we have `config.py` at the root for Flask app config. Should the new `starpunk/config.py` module replace this, wrap it, or co-exist as a separate configuration layer? How do we avoid breaking existing code that directly imports from `config`?
+
+**Architect Answer**: Keep both files with clear separation of concerns. The existing `config.py` remains for Flask app configuration, while the new `starpunk/config.py` becomes a configuration helper module that wraps Flask's app.config for runtime access.
+
+**Rationale**: This maintains backward compatibility, separates Flask-specific config from application logic, and allows gradual migration without breaking changes.
+
+**Implementation Guidance**:
+- Create `starpunk/config.py` as a helper that uses `current_app.config`
+- Provide methods like `get_database_path()`, `get_upload_folder()`, etc.
+- Gradually replace direct config access with helper methods
+- Document both in the configuration guide
+
+---
+
+### Q2: Database Connection Pool Scope
+**Developer Question**: The connection pool will replace the current `get_db()` context manager used throughout routes. Should it also replace direct `sqlite3.connect()` calls in migrations and utilities? How do we ensure proper connection lifecycle in Flask's request context?
+
+**Architect Answer**: Connection pool replaces `get_db()` but NOT migrations. The pool replaces all runtime `sqlite3.connect()` calls but migrations must use direct connections for isolation. Integrate the pool with Flask's `g` object for request-scoped connections.
+
+**Rationale**: Migrations need isolated transactions without pool interference. The pool improves runtime performance while request-scoped connections via `g` maintain Flask patterns.
+
+**Implementation Guidance**:
+- Implement pool in `starpunk/database/pool.py`
+- Use `g.db` for request-scoped connections
+- Replace `get_db()` in all route files
+- Keep direct connections for migrations only
+- Add pool statistics to metrics
+
+---
+
+### Q3: Logging vs. Print Statements Migration
+**Developer Question**: Current code has many print statements for debugging. Should we phase these out gradually or remove all at once? Should we use Python's logging module directly or Flask's app.logger? For CLI commands, should they use logging or click.echo()?
+
+**Architect Answer**: Phase out print statements immediately in v1.1.1. Remove ALL print statements in this release. Use Flask's `app.logger` as the base, enhanced with structured logging. CLI commands use `click.echo()` for user output and logger for diagnostics.
+
+**Rationale**: A clean break prevents confusion. Flask's logger integrates with the framework, and click.echo() is the proper CLI output method.
+
+**Implementation Guidance**:
+- Set up RotatingFileHandler in app factory
+- Configure structured logging with correlation IDs
+- Replace all print() with appropriate logging calls
+- Use click.echo() for CLI user feedback
+- Use logger for CLI diagnostic output
+
+---
+
+### Q4: Error Handling Middleware Integration
+**Developer Question**: For consistent error handling, should we use Flask's @app.errorhandler decorator or implement custom middleware? How do we ensure Micropub endpoints return spec-compliant error responses while other endpoints return HTML error pages?
+
+**Architect Answer**: Use Flask's `@app.errorhandler` for all error handling. Register error handlers in the app factory. Micropub endpoints get specialized error handlers for spec compliance. No decorators on individual routes.
+
+**Rationale**: Flask's error handler is the idiomatic approach. Centralized error handling reduces code duplication, and Micropub spec requires specific error formats.
+
+**Implementation Guidance**:
+- Create `starpunk/errors.py` with `register_error_handlers(app)`
+- Check request path to determine response format
+- Return JSON for `/micropub` endpoints
+- Return HTML templates for other endpoints
+- Log all errors with correlation IDs
+
+---
+
+### Q5: FTS5 Fallback Search Implementation
+**Developer Question**: If FTS5 isn't available, should fallback search be in the same module or separate? Should it have the same function signature? How do we detect FTS5 support - at startup or runtime?
+
+**Architect Answer**: Same module, runtime detection with decorator pattern. Keep in `search.py` module with the same function signature. Determine support at startup and cache for performance.
+
+**Rationale**: A single module maintains cohesion. Same signature allows transparent switching. Startup detection avoids runtime overhead.
+
+**Implementation Guidance**:
+- Detect FTS5 support at startup using a test table
+- Cache the result in a module-level variable
+- Use function pointer to select implementation
+- Both implementations use identical signatures
+- Log which implementation is active
+
+---
+
+### Q6: Performance Monitoring Circular Buffer
+**Developer Question**: For the circular buffer storing performance metrics - in a multi-process deployment (like gunicorn), should each process have its own buffer or should we use shared memory? How do we aggregate metrics across processes?
+
+**Architect Answer**: Per-process buffer with aggregation endpoint. Each process maintains its own circular buffer. `/admin/metrics` aggregates across all workers. Use `multiprocessing.Manager` for shared state if needed.
+
+**Rationale**: Per-process avoids locking overhead. Aggregation provides complete picture. This is a standard pattern for multi-process Flask apps.
+
+**Implementation Guidance**:
+- Create `MetricsBuffer` class with deque
+- Include process ID in all metrics
+- Aggregate in `/admin/metrics` endpoint
+- Consider shared memory for future enhancement
+- Default to 1000 entries per buffer
+
+---
+
+## Important Questions
+
+### Q7: Session Table Migration
+**Developer Question**: The session management enhancement requires a new database table. Should this be added to an existing migration file or create a new one? What happens to existing sessions during upgrade?
+
+**Architect Answer**: New migration file `008_add_session_table.sql`. This is a separate migration that maintains clarity. Drop existing sessions (document in upgrade guide). Use RETURNING clause with version check where supported.
+
+**Rationale**: Clean migration history is important. Sessions are ephemeral and safe to drop. RETURNING improves performance where available.
+
+**Implementation Guidance**:
+- Create new migration file
+- Drop table if exists before creation
+- Add proper indexes for user_id and expires_at
+- Document session reset in upgrade guide
+- Test migration rollback procedure
+
+---
+
+### Q8: Unicode Slug Generation
+**Developer Question**: When slug generation from title fails (e.g., all emoji title), what should the fallback be? Should we return an error to the Micropub client or generate a default slug? What pattern for auto-generated slugs?
+
+**Architect Answer**: Timestamp-based fallback with warning. Use `YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS` pattern when normalization fails. Log warning with original text for debugging. Return 201 Created to Micropub client (not an error).
+
+**Rationale**: Timestamp ensures uniqueness. Warning helps identify encoding issues. Micropub spec doesn't define this as an error condition.
+
+**Implementation Guidance**:
+- Try Unicode normalization first
+- Fall back to timestamp if result is empty
+- Log warnings for debugging
+- Include original text in logs
+- Never fail the Micropub request
+
+---
+
+### Q9: RSS Memory Optimization
+**Developer Question**: The current RSS generator builds the entire feed in memory. For optimization, should we stream the XML directly to the response or use a generator? How do we handle large feeds (1000+ items)?
+
+**Architect Answer**: Use generator with `yield` for streaming. Implement as generator function. Use Flask's `Response(generate(), mimetype='application/rss+xml')`. Stream directly to client.
+
+**Rationale**: Generators minimize memory footprint. Flask handles streaming automatically. This scales to any feed size.
+
+**Implementation Guidance**:
+- Convert RSS generation to generator function
+- Yield XML chunks, not individual characters
+- Query notes in batches if needed
+- Set appropriate response headers
+- Test with large feed counts
+
+---
+
+### Q10: Health Check Authentication
+**Developer Question**: Should health check endpoints require authentication? Load balancers need to access them, but detailed health info might be sensitive. How do we balance security with operational needs?
+
+**Architect Answer**: Basic check public, detailed check requires auth. `/health` returns 200 OK (no auth, for load balancers). `/health?detailed=true` requires authentication. Separate `/admin/health` for full diagnostics (always auth).
+
+**Rationale**: Load balancers need unauthenticated access. Detailed info could leak sensitive data. This follows industry standard patterns.
+
+**Implementation Guidance**:
+- Basic health: just return 200 if app responds
+- Detailed health: check database, disk space, etc.
+- Admin health: full diagnostics with metrics
+- Use query parameter to trigger detailed mode
+- Document endpoints in operations guide
+
+---
+
+### Q11: Request Correlation ID Scope
+**Developer Question**: Should the correlation ID be per-request or per-session? If a request triggers background tasks, should they inherit the correlation ID? What about CLI commands?
+
+**Architect Answer**: New ID for each HTTP request, inherit in background tasks. Each HTTP request gets a unique ID. Background tasks spawned from requests inherit the parent ID. CLI commands generate their own root ID.
+
+**Rationale**: This maintains request tracing through async operations. CLI commands are independent operations. It's a standard distributed tracing pattern.
+
+**Implementation Guidance**:
+- Generate UUID for each request
+- Store in Flask's `g` object
+- Pass to background tasks as parameter
+- Include in all log messages
+- Add to response headers
+
+---
+
+### Q12: Performance Monitoring Sampling
+**Developer Question**: To reduce overhead, should we sample performance metrics (e.g., only track 10% of requests)? Should sampling be configurable? Apply to all metrics or just specific types?
+
+**Architect Answer**: Configuration-based sampling with operation types. Default 10% sampling rate with different rates per operation type. Applied at collection point, not in slow query log.
+
+**Rationale**: Reduces overhead in production. Operation-specific rates allow focused monitoring. Slow query log should capture everything for debugging.
+
+**Implementation Guidance**:
+- Define sampling rates in config
+- Different rates for database/http/render
+- Use random sampling at collection point
+- Always log slow queries regardless
+- Make rates runtime configurable
+
+---
+
+### Q13: Search Highlighting XSS Prevention
+**Developer Question**: When highlighting search terms in results, how do we prevent XSS if the search term contains HTML? Should we use a library like bleach or implement our own escaping?
+
+**Architect Answer**: Use `markupsafe.escape()` with whitelist. Use Flask's standard `markupsafe.escape()`. Whitelist only `<mark>` tags for highlighting. Validate class attribute against whitelist.
+
+**Rationale**: markupsafe is Flask's security standard. Whitelist approach is most secure. Prevents class-based XSS attacks.
+
+**Implementation Guidance**:
+- Escape all text first
+- Then add safe mark tags
+- Use Markup() for safe strings
+- Limit to single highlight class
+- Test with malicious input
+
+---
+
+### Q14: Configuration Validation Timing
+**Developer Question**: When should configuration validation run - at startup, on first use, or both? Should invalid config crash the app or fall back to defaults? Should we validate before or after migrations?
+
+**Architect Answer**: Validate at startup, fail fast with clear errors. Validate immediately after loading config. Invalid config crashes app with descriptive error. Validate both presence and type. Run BEFORE migrations.
+
+**Rationale**: Fail fast prevents subtle runtime errors. Clear errors help operators fix issues. Type validation catches common mistakes.
+
+**Implementation Guidance**:
+- Create validation schema
+- Check required fields exist
+- Validate types and ranges
+- Provide clear error messages
+- Exit with non-zero status on failure
+
+---
+
+## Nice-to-Have Clarifications
+
+### Q15: Test Race Condition Fix Priority
+**Developer Question**: Some tests have intermittent failures due to race conditions. Should fixing these block v1.1.1 release, or can we defer to v1.1.2?
+
+**Architect Answer**: Fix in Phase 2, after core features. Not blocking for v1.1.1 release. Fix after performance monitoring is in place. Add to technical debt backlog.
+
+**Rationale**: Race conditions are intermittent, not blocking. Focus on user-visible improvements first. Can be addressed in v1.1.2.
+
+---
+
+### Q16: Memory Monitoring Thread
+**Developer Question**: The memory monitoring thread needs to record metrics periodically. How should it handle database unavailability? Should it stop gracefully on shutdown?
+
+**Architect Answer**: Use threading.Event for graceful shutdown. Stop gracefully using Event. Log warning if database unavailable, don't crash. Reconnect automatically on database recovery.
+
+**Rationale**: Graceful shutdown prevents data corruption. Monitoring shouldn't crash the app. Self-healing improves reliability.
+
+**Implementation Guidance**:
+- Use daemon thread with Event
+- Check stop event in loop
+- Handle database errors gracefully
+- Retry with exponential backoff
+- Log issues but don't propagate
+
+---
+
+### Q17: Log Rotation Strategy
+**Developer Question**: For log rotation, should we use Python's RotatingFileHandler, Linux logrotate, or a custom solution? What size/count limits are appropriate?
+
+**Architect Answer**: Use RotatingFileHandler with 10MB files. Python's built-in RotatingFileHandler. 10MB per file, keep 10 files. No compression for simplicity.
+
+**Rationale**: Built-in solution requires no dependencies. 100MB total is reasonable for small deployment. Compression adds complexity for minimal benefit.
+
+---
+
+### Q18: Error Budget Tracking
+**Developer Question**: How should we track error budgets - as a percentage, count, or rate? Over what time window? Should exceeding budget trigger any automatic actions?
+
+**Architect Answer**: Simple counter-based tracking. Track in metrics buffer. Display in dashboard as percentage. No auto-alerting in v1.1.1 (future enhancement).
+
+**Rationale**: Simple to implement and understand. Provides visibility without complexity. Alerting can be added later.
+
+**Implementation Guidance**:
+- Track last 1000 requests
+- Calculate success rate
+- Display remaining budget
+- Log when budget low
+- Manual monitoring for now
+
+---
+
+### Q19: Dashboard UI Framework
+**Developer Question**: For the admin dashboard, should we use a JavaScript framework (React/Vue), server-side rendering, or a hybrid approach? Any CSS framework preferences?
+
+**Architect Answer**: Server-side rendering with htmx for updates. No JavaScript framework for simplicity. Use htmx for real-time updates. Chart.js for graphs via CDN. Existing CSS, no new framework.
+
+**Rationale**: Maintains "works without JavaScript" principle. htmx provides reactivity without complexity. Chart.js is simple and sufficient.
+
+**Implementation Guidance**:
+- Use Jinja2 templates
+- Add htmx for auto-refresh
+- Include Chart.js from CDN
+- Keep existing CSS styles
+- Progressive enhancement approach
+
+---
+
+### Q20: Micropub Error Response Format
+**Developer Question**: The Micropub spec defines error responses, but should we add additional debugging info in development mode? How much detail in error_description field?
+
+**Architect Answer**: Maintain strict Micropub spec compliance. Use spec-defined error format exactly. Add `error_description` for clarity. Log additional details server-side only.
+
+**Rationale**: Spec compliance is non-negotiable. error_description is allowed by spec. Server logs provide debugging info.
+
+**Implementation Guidance**:
+- Use exact error codes from spec
+- Include helpful error_description
+- Never expose internal details
+- Log full context server-side
+- Keep development/production responses identical
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Priorities
+
+The architect recommends implementing v1.1.1 in three phases:
+
+### Phase 1: Core Infrastructure (Week 1)
+Focus on foundational improvements that other features depend on:
+1. Logging system replacement - Remove all print statements
+2. Configuration validation - Fail fast on invalid config
+3. Database connection pool - Improve performance
+4. Error handling middleware - Consistent error responses
+
+### Phase 2: Enhancements (Week 2)
+Add the user-facing improvements:
+5. Session management - Secure session handling
+6. Performance monitoring - Track system health
+7. Health checks - Enable monitoring
+8. Search improvements - Better search experience
+
+### Phase 3: Polish (Week 3)
+Complete the release with final touches:
+9. Admin dashboard - Visualize metrics
+10. Memory optimization - RSS streaming
+11. Documentation - Update all guides
+12. Testing improvements - Fix flaky tests
+
+## Additional Architectural Guidance
+
+### Configuration Integration Strategy
+The developer should implement configuration in layers:
+1. Keep existing config.py for Flask settings
+2. Add starpunk/config.py as helper module
+3. Migrate gradually by replacing direct config access
+4. Document both systems in configuration guide
+
+### Connection Pool Implementation Notes
+The pool should be transparent to calling code:
+1. Same interface as get_db()
+2. Automatic cleanup on request end
+3. Connection recycling for performance
+4. Statistics collection for monitoring
+
+### Validation Specifications
+Create centralized validation schemas for:
+- Configuration values (types, ranges, requirements)
+- Micropub requests (required fields, formats)
+- Input data (lengths, patterns, encoding)
+
+### Migration Ordering
+The developer must run migrations in this specific order:
+1. 008_add_session_table.sql
+2. 009_add_performance_indexes.sql
+3. 010_add_metrics_table.sql
+
+### Testing Gaps to Address
+While not blocking v1.1.1, these should be noted for v1.1.2:
+1. Connection pool stress tests
+2. Unicode edge cases
+3. Memory leak detection
+4. Error recovery scenarios
+
+### Required Documentation
+Before release, create these operational guides:
+1. `/docs/operations/upgrade-to-v1.1.1.md` - Step-by-step upgrade process
+2. `/docs/operations/troubleshooting.md` - Common issues and solutions
+3. `/docs/operations/performance-tuning.md` - Optimization guidelines
+
+## Final Architectural Notes
+
+These answers prioritize:
+- **Simplicity** over features - Every addition must justify its complexity
+- **Compatibility** over clean breaks - Don't break existing deployments
+- **Gradual migration** over big bang - Incremental improvements reduce risk
+- **Flask patterns** over custom solutions - Use idiomatic Flask approaches
+
+The developer should implement in the phase order specified, testing thoroughly between phases. Any blockers or uncertainties should be escalated immediately for architectural review.
+
+Remember: v1.1.1 is about polish, not new features. Focus on making existing functionality more robust, observable, and maintainable.

+CREATE INDEX idx_sessions_user ON sessions(user_id);
+```
+
+## Backward Compatibility Checklist
+
+Ensure NO breaking changes:
+
+- [ ] All configuration has sensible defaults
+- [ ] Existing deployments work without changes
+- [ ] Database migrations are non-destructive

+
+## Deployment Validation
+
+After implementation, verify:
+
+1. **Fresh Install**
+   ```bash
+   # Clean install works
+   pip install starpunk==1.1.1
+   starpunk init
+   starpunk serve
+   ```
+
+2. **Upgrade Path**
+   ```bash
+   # Upgrade from 1.1.0 works
+   pip install --upgrade starpunk==1.1.1
+   starpunk migrate
+   starpunk serve
+   ```
+
+3. **Configuration**
+   ```bash
+   # All config options work
+   export STARPUNK_SEARCH_ENABLED=false
+   starpunk serve  # Search should be disabled
+   ```
+
+4. **Performance**
+   ```bash
+   # Run performance tests
+   pytest tests/performance/
+   ```
+
+## Common Pitfalls to Avoid
+
+1. **Don't Break Existing Features**
+   - Test with existing data
+   - Verify Micropub compatibility
+   - Check RSS feed format
+
+2. **Handle Missing FTS5 Gracefully**
+   - Don't crash if FTS5 unavailable
+   - Provide clear warnings
+   - Fallback must work correctly
+
+3. **Maintain Thread Safety**
+   - Connection pool must be thread-safe
+   - Metrics collection must be thread-safe
+   - Use proper locking
+
+4. **Avoid Memory Leaks**
+   - Circular buffer for metrics
+   - Stream RSS generation
+   - Clean up expired sessions
+
+5. **Configuration Validation**
+   - Validate all config at startup
+   - Use sensible defaults
+   - Log configuration errors clearly
+
+## Success Criteria

+### Configuration Options
+
+```python
+# Performance monitoring configuration
+PERF_MONITORING_ENABLED = Config.get_bool("STARPUNK_PERF_MONITORING_ENABLED", False)
+PERF_SLOW_QUERY_THRESHOLD = Config.get_float("STARPUNK_PERF_SLOW_QUERY_THRESHOLD", 1.0)
+PERF_LOG_QUERIES = Config.get_bool("STARPUNK_PERF_LOG_QUERIES", False)
+PERF_MEMORY_TRACKING = Config.get_bool("STARPUNK_PERF_MEMORY_TRACKING", False)
+PERF_BUFFER_SIZE = Config.get_int("STARPUNK_PERF_BUFFER_SIZE", 1000)
+PERF_SAMPLE_RATE = Config.get_float("STARPUNK_PERF_SAMPLE_RATE", 1.0)
+```
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Unit Tests
+1. Metric collection and storage
+2. Circular buffer behavior
+3. Summary statistics calculation
+4. Memory monitoring functions
+5. Query monitoring callbacks
+
+### Integration Tests
+1. End-to-end request monitoring
+2. Slow query detection
+3. Memory leak detection
+4. Dashboard rendering
+5. Performance overhead measurement
+
+### Performance Tests
+```python
+def test_monitoring_overhead():
+    """Verify monitoring overhead is <1%"""
+    # Baseline without monitoring
+    config.PERF_MONITORING_ENABLED = False
+    baseline_time = measure_operation_time()
+
+    # With monitoring
+    config.PERF_MONITORING_ENABLED = True
+    monitored_time = measure_operation_time()
+
+    overhead = (monitored_time - baseline_time) / baseline_time
+    assert overhead < 0.01  # Less than 1%
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **Authentication**: Dashboard requires admin access
+2. **Query Sanitization**: Don't log sensitive query parameters
+3. **Rate Limiting**: Prevent dashboard DoS
+4. **Data Retention**: Automatic cleanup of old metrics
+5. **Configuration**: Validate all config values
+
+## Performance Impact
+
+### Expected Overhead
+- Request timing: <0.1ms per request
+- Query monitoring: <0.5ms per query
+- Memory tracking: <1% CPU (background thread)
+- Dashboard rendering: <50ms
+- Total overhead: <1% when fully enabled
+
+### Optimization Strategies
+1. Use sampling for high-frequency operations
+2. Lazy calculation of statistics
+3. Efficient circular buffer implementation
+4. Minimal string operations in hot path
+
+## Documentation Requirements
+
+### Administrator Guide
+- How to enable monitoring
+- Understanding metrics
+- Identifying performance issues
+- Tuning configuration
+
+### Dashboard User Guide
+- Navigating the dashboard
+- Interpreting metrics
+- Finding slow queries
+- Memory usage patterns
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+1. ✅ Timing instrumentation for all key operations
+2. ✅ Database query performance logging
+3. ✅ Slow query detection with configurable threshold
+4. ✅ Memory usage tracking
+5. ✅ Performance dashboard at /admin/performance
+6. ✅ Monitoring overhead <1%

+                    extra={'count': deleted}
+                )
+```
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Unit Tests
+1. FTS5 detection and fallback
+2. Error message formatting
+3. Connection pool operations
+4. Health check components
+5. Session timeout logic
+
+### Integration Tests
+1. Search with and without FTS5
+2. Error handling end-to-end
+3. Connection pool under load
+4. Health endpoints
+5. Session expiration
+
+### Load Tests
+```python
+def test_connection_pool_under_load():
+    """Test connection pool with concurrent requests"""
+    pool = ConnectionPool(":memory:", pool_size=5)
+
+    def worker():
+        for _ in range(100):
+            with pool.acquire() as conn:
+                conn.execute("SELECT 1")
+
+    threads = [Thread(target=worker) for _ in range(20)]
+    for t in threads:
+        t.start()
+    for t in threads:
+        t.join()
+
+    stats = pool.get_stats()
+    assert stats['acquired'] == 2000
+    assert stats['released'] == 2000
+```
+
+## Migration Considerations
+
+### Database Schema Updates
+```sql
+-- Add sessions table if not exists
+CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS sessions (
+    id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
+    user_id TEXT NOT NULL,
+    created_at TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
+    expires_at TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
+    last_accessed TIMESTAMP,
+    INDEX idx_sessions_expires (expires_at)
+);
+```
+
+### Configuration Migration
+1. Add new environment variables with defaults
+2. Document in deployment guide
+3. Update example .env file
+
+## Performance Impact
+
+### Expected Improvements
+- Connection pooling: 20-30% reduction in query latency
+- Structured logging: <1ms per log statement
+- Health checks: <10ms response time
+- Session management: Minimal overhead
+
+### Resource Usage
+- Connection pool: ~5MB per connection
+- Logging buffer: <1MB
+- Session storage: ~1KB per active session
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **Connection Pool**: Prevent connection exhaustion attacks
+2. **Error Messages**: Never expose sensitive information
+3. **Health Checks**: Require auth for detailed info
+4. **Session Timeout**: Configurable for security/UX balance
+5. **Logging**: Sanitize all user input
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+1. ✅ FTS5 unavailability handled gracefully
+2. ✅ Clear error messages with troubleshooting
+3. ✅ Connection pooling implemented and optimized
+4. ✅ Structured logging with levels
+5. ✅ Enhanced health check endpoints
+6. ✅ Session timeout handling
+7. ✅ All features configurable
+8. ✅ Zero breaking changes
+9. ✅ Performance improvements measured
+10. ✅ Production deployment guide updated

+# Search Configuration System Specification
+
+## Overview
+The search configuration system for v1.1.1 provides operators with control over search functionality, including the ability to disable it entirely for sites that don't need it, configure title extraction parameters, and enhance result presentation.
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+1. **Search Toggle**
+   - Ability to completely disable search functionality
+   - When disabled, search UI elements should be hidden
+   - Search endpoints should return appropriate messages
+   - Database FTS5 tables can be skipped if search disabled from start
+
+2. **Title Length Configuration**
+   - Configure maximum title extraction length (currently hardcoded at 100)
+   - Apply to both new and existing notes during search
+   - Ensure truncation doesn't break words mid-character
+   - Add ellipsis (...) for truncated titles
+
+3. **Search Result Enhancement**
+   - Highlight search terms in results
+   - Show relevance score for each result
+   - Configurable highlight CSS class
+   - Preserve HTML safety (no XSS via highlights)
+
+4. **Graceful FTS5 Degradation**
+   - Detect FTS5 availability at startup
+   - Fall back to LIKE queries if unavailable
+   - Show appropriate warnings to operators
+   - Document SQLite compilation requirements
+
+### Non-Functional Requirements
+
+1. **Performance**
+   - Configuration checks must not impact request latency (<1ms)
+   - Search highlighting must not slow results >10%
+   - Graceful degradation should work within 2x time of FTS5
+
+2. **Compatibility**
+   - All existing deployments continue working without configuration
+   - Default values match current behavior exactly
+   - No database migrations required
+
+3. **Security**
+   - Search term highlighting must be XSS-safe
+   - Configuration values must be validated
+   - No sensitive data in configuration
+
+## Design
+
+### Configuration Schema
+
+```python
+# Environment variables with defaults
+STARPUNK_SEARCH_ENABLED = True
+STARPUNK_SEARCH_TITLE_LENGTH = 100
+STARPUNK_SEARCH_HIGHLIGHT_CLASS = "highlight"
+STARPUNK_SEARCH_MIN_SCORE = 0.0
+STARPUNK_SEARCH_HIGHLIGHT_ENABLED = True
+STARPUNK_SEARCH_SCORE_DISPLAY = True
+```
+
+### Component Architecture
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
+│         Configuration Layer          │
+├─────────────────────────────────────┤
+│         Search Controller            │

+│  • Title Extraction                  │
+└─────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+### Search Disabling Flow
+
+```python
+# In search module
+def search_notes(query: str) -> List[Note]:
+    if not config.SEARCH_ENABLED:
+        return SearchResults(
+            results=[],
+            message="Search is disabled on this instance",
+            enabled=False
+        )
+
+    # Normal search flow
+    return perform_search(query)
+
+# In templates
+{% if config.SEARCH_ENABLED %}
+    <form class="search-form">
+        <!-- search UI -->
+    </form>
+{% endif %}
+```
+
+### Title Extraction Logic
+
+```python
+def extract_title(content: str, max_length: int = None) -> str:
+    """Extract title from note content"""
+    max_length = max_length or config.SEARCH_TITLE_LENGTH
+
+    # Try to extract first line
+    first_line = content.split('\n')[0].strip()
+
+    # Remove markdown formatting
+    title = strip_markdown(first_line)
+
+    # Truncate if needed
+    if len(title) > max_length:
+        # Find last word boundary before limit
+        truncated = title[:max_length].rsplit(' ', 1)[0]
+        return truncated + '...'
+
+    return title
+```
+
+### Search Highlighting Implementation
+
+```python
+import html
+from markupsafe import Markup
+
+def highlight_terms(text: str, terms: List[str]) -> Markup:
+    """Highlight search terms in text safely"""
+    if not config.SEARCH_HIGHLIGHT_ENABLED:
+        return Markup(html.escape(text))
+
+    # Escape HTML first
+    safe_text = html.escape(text)
+
+    # Highlight each term (case-insensitive)
+    for term in terms:
+        pattern = re.compile(
+            re.escape(html.escape(term)),
+            re.IGNORECASE
+        )
+        replacement = f'<span class="{config.SEARCH_HIGHLIGHT_CLASS}">\g<0></span>'
+        safe_text = pattern.sub(replacement, safe_text)
+
+    return Markup(safe_text)
+```
+
+### FTS5 Detection and Fallback
+
+```python
+def check_fts5_support() -> bool:
+    """Check if SQLite has FTS5 support"""
+    try:
+        conn = get_db_connection()
+        conn.execute("CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE test_fts USING fts5(content)")
+        conn.execute("DROP TABLE test_fts")
+        return True
+    except sqlite3.OperationalError:
+        return False
+
+class SearchEngine:
+    def __init__(self):
+        self.has_fts5 = check_fts5_support()
+        if not self.has_fts5:
+            logger.warning(
+                "FTS5 not available, using fallback search. "
+                "For better performance, compile SQLite with FTS5 support."
+            )
+
+    def search(self, query: str) -> List[Result]:
+        if self.has_fts5:
+            return self._search_fts5(query)
+        else:
+            return self._search_fallback(query)
+
+    def _search_fallback(self, query: str) -> List[Result]:
+        """LIKE-based search fallback"""
+        # Note: No relevance scoring available
+        sql = """
+            SELECT id, content, created_at
+            FROM notes
+            WHERE content LIKE ?
+            ORDER BY created_at DESC
+            LIMIT 50
+        """
+        return db.execute(sql, [f'%{query}%'])
+```
+
+### Relevance Score Display
+
+```python
+@dataclass
+class SearchResult:
+    note_id: int
+    content: str
+    title: str
+    score: float  # Relevance score from FTS5
+    highlights: str  # Snippet with highlights
+
+def format_score(score: float) -> str:
+    """Format relevance score for display"""
+    if not config.SEARCH_SCORE_DISPLAY:
+        return ""
+
+    # Normalize to 0-100 scale
+    normalized = min(100, max(0, abs(score) * 10))
+    return f"{normalized:.0f}% match"
+```
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Unit Tests
+1. Configuration loading with various values
+2. Title extraction with edge cases
+3. Search term highlighting with XSS attempts
+4. FTS5 detection logic
+5. Fallback search functionality
+
+### Integration Tests
+1. Search with configuration disabled
+2. End-to-end search with highlighting
+3. Performance comparison FTS5 vs fallback
+4. UI elements hidden when search disabled
+
+### Configuration Test Matrix
+| SEARCH_ENABLED | FTS5 Available | Expected Behavior |
+|----------------|----------------|-------------------|
+| true | true | Full search with FTS5 |
+| true | false | Fallback LIKE search |
+| false | true | Search disabled |
+| false | false | Search disabled |
+
+## User Interface Changes
+
+### Search Results Template
+```html
+<div class="search-results">
+  {% for result in results %}
+    <article class="search-result">
+      <h3>
+        <a href="/notes/{{ result.note_id }}">
+          {{ result.title }}
+        </a>
+        {% if config.SEARCH_SCORE_DISPLAY and result.score %}
+          <span class="relevance">{{ format_score(result.score) }}</span>
+        {% endif %}
+      </h3>
+      <div class="excerpt">
+        {{ result.highlights|safe }}
+      </div>
+      <time>{{ result.created_at }}</time>
+    </article>
+  {% endfor %}
+</div>
+```
+
+### CSS for Highlighting
+```css
+.highlight {
+  background-color: yellow;
+  font-weight: bold;
+  padding: 0 2px;
+}
+
+.relevance {
+  font-size: 0.8em;
+  color: #666;
+  margin-left: 10px;
+}
+```
+
+## Migration Considerations
+
+### For Existing Deployments
+1. No action required - defaults preserve current behavior
+2. Optional: Set `STARPUNK_SEARCH_ENABLED=false` to disable
+3. Optional: Adjust `STARPUNK_SEARCH_TITLE_LENGTH` as needed
+
+### For New Deployments
+1. Document FTS5 requirement in installation guide
+2. Provide SQLite compilation instructions
+3. Note fallback behavior if FTS5 unavailable
+
+## Performance Impact
+
+### Measured Metrics
+- Configuration check: <0.1ms per request
+- Highlighting overhead: ~5-10% for typical results
+- Fallback search: 2-10x slower than FTS5 (depends on data size)
+- Score calculation: <1ms per result
+
+### Optimization Opportunities
+1. Cache configuration values at startup
+2. Pre-compile highlighting regex patterns
+3. Limit fallback search to recent notes
+4. Use connection pooling for FTS5 checks
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **XSS Prevention**: All highlighting must escape HTML
+2. **ReDoS Prevention**: Validate search terms before regex
+3. **Resource Limits**: Cap search result count
+4. **Input Validation**: Validate configuration values
+
+## Documentation Requirements
+
+### Administrator Guide
+- How to disable search
+- Configuring title length
+- Understanding relevance scores
+- FTS5 installation instructions
+
+### API Documentation
+- Search endpoint behavior when disabled
+- Response format changes
+- Score interpretation
+
+### Deployment Guide
+- Environment variable reference
+- SQLite compilation with FTS5
+- Performance tuning tips
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+1. ✅ Search can be completely disabled via configuration
+2. ✅ Title length is configurable
+3. ✅ Search terms are highlighted in results
+4. ✅ Relevance scores are displayed (when available)
+5. ✅ System works without FTS5 (with warning)
+6. ✅ No breaking changes to existing deployments
+7. ✅ All changes documented
+8. ✅ Tests cover all configuration combinations
+9. ✅ Performance impact <10% for typical usage
+10. ✅ Security review passed (no XSS, no ReDoS)

+# Caption Display Update - Alt Text Only (v1.1.2)
+
+## Status
+**Superseded by media-display-fixes.md**
+
+This document contains an earlier approach to caption handling. The authoritative specification is now in `media-display-fixes.md` which provides a complete solution for media display including caption handling, CSS constraints, and homepage media.
+
+## Context
+
+User has clarified that media captions should be used as alt text only, not displayed as visible `<figcaption>` elements in the note body.
+
+## Decision
+
+Remove all visible caption display from templates while maintaining caption data for accessibility (alt text) purposes.
+
+## Required Changes
+
+### 1. CSS Updates
+
+**File:** `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/static/css/style.css`
+
+**Remove:** Lines related to figcaption styling (line 17 in the media CSS section)
+
+```css
+/* REMOVE THIS LINE */
+.note-media figcaption, .e-content figcaption { margin-top: var(--spacing-sm); font-size: 0.875rem; color: var(--color-text-light); font-style: italic; }
+```
+
+The remaining CSS should be:
+
+```css
+/* Media Display Styles (v1.2.0) - Updated for alt-text only captions */
+.note-media { margin-bottom: var(--spacing-md); }
+.note-media img, .e-content img, .u-photo { max-width: 100%; height: auto; display: block; border-radius: var(--border-radius); }
+
+/* Multiple media items grid */
+.note-media { display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: var(--spacing-md); }
+.note-media .media-item { flex: 1 1 100%; }
+
+/* Desktop: side-by-side for multiple images */
+@media (min-width: 768px) {
+  .note-media .media-item:only-child { flex: 1 1 100%; }
+  .note-media .media-item:not(:only-child) { flex: 1 1 calc(50% - var(--spacing-sm)); }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Template Updates
+
+#### File: `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/templates/note.html`
+
+**Change:** Lines 17-29 - Simplify media display structure
+
+**From:**
+```html
+{% if note.media %}
+<div class="note-media">
+  {% for item in note.media %}
+  <figure class="media-item">
+    <img src="{{ url_for('public.media_file', path=item.path) }}"
+         alt="{{ item.caption or 'Image' }}"
+         class="u-photo"
+         width="{{ item.width }}"
+         height="{{ item.height }}">
+    {% if item.caption %}
+    <figcaption>{{ item.caption }}</figcaption>
+    {% endif %}
+  </figure>
+  {% endfor %}
+</div>
+{% endif %}
+```
+
+**To:**
+```html
+{% if note.media %}
+<div class="note-media">
+  {% for item in note.media %}
+  <div class="media-item">
+    <img src="{{ url_for('public.media_file', path=item.path) }}"
+         alt="{{ item.caption or 'Image' }}"
+         class="u-photo"
+         width="{{ item.width }}"
+         height="{{ item.height }}">
+  </div>
+  {% endfor %}
+</div>
+{% endif %}
+```
+
+**Changes:**
+- Replace `<figure>` with `<div>` (simpler, no semantic figure/caption relationship)
+- Remove the `{% if item.caption %}` block and `<figcaption>` element entirely
+- Keep caption in `alt` attribute for accessibility
+
+#### File: `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/templates/index.html`
+
+**Status:** No changes needed
+- Index template doesn't display media items in the preview
+- Only shows truncated content
+
+### 3. Feed Generators
+
+**Status:** No changes needed
+
+The feed generators already handle captions correctly:
+- RSS, ATOM, and JSON Feed all use captions as alt text in `<img>` tags
+- JSON Feed also includes captions in attachment metadata (correct behavior)
+
+**Current implementation (correct):**
+```python
+# In all feed generators
+caption = media_item.get('caption', '')
+content_html += f'<img src="{media_url}" alt="{caption}" />'
+```
+
+## Rationale
+
+1. **Simplicity**: Removing visible captions reduces visual clutter
+2. **Accessibility**: Alt text provides necessary context for screen readers
+3. **User Intent**: Captions are metadata, not content to be displayed
+4. **Clean Design**: Images speak for themselves without redundant text
+
+## Implementation Checklist
+
+- [ ] Update CSS to remove figcaption styles
+- [ ] Update note.html template to remove figcaption elements
+- [ ] Test with images that have captions
+- [ ] Test with images without captions
+- [ ] Verify alt text is properly set
+- [ ] Test responsive layout still works
+- [ ] Verify feed output unchanged
+
+## Testing Requirements
+
+1. **Visual Testing:**
+   - Confirm no caption text appears below images
+   - Verify image layout unchanged
+   - Test responsive behavior on mobile/desktop
+
+2. **Accessibility Testing:**
+   - Inspect HTML to confirm alt attributes are set
+   - Test with screen reader to verify alt text is announced
+
+3. **Feed Testing:**
+   - Verify RSS/ATOM/JSON feeds still include alt text
+   - Confirm JSON Feed attachments retain title field
+
+## Standards Compliance
+
+- **HTML**: Valid use of img alt attribute
+- **Accessibility**: WCAG 2.1 Level A compliance for images
+- **IndieWeb**: Maintains u-photo microformat class
+- **Progressive Enhancement**: Images functional without CSS

+
+### Date Formatting
+
+ATOM uses RFC 3339 date format, which is a profile of ISO 8601.
+
+```python
+def _format_atom_date(self, dt: datetime) -> str:
+    """Format datetime to RFC 3339 for ATOM
+
+    Format: 2024-11-25T12:00:00Z or 2024-11-25T12:00:00-05:00
+
+    Args:
+        dt: Datetime object (naive assumed UTC)
+
+    Returns:
+        RFC 3339 formatted string
+    """
+    # Ensure timezone aware
+    if dt.tzinfo is None:
+        dt = dt.replace(tzinfo=timezone.utc)
+
+    # Format to RFC 3339
+    # Use 'Z' for UTC, otherwise offset
+    if dt.tzinfo == timezone.utc:
+        return dt.strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ')
+    else:
+        return dt.strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z')
+```
+
+### XML Escaping
+
+```python
+def _escape_xml(self, text: str) -> str:
+    """Escape special XML characters
+
+    Escapes: & < > " '
+
+    Args:
+        text: Text to escape
+
+    Returns:
+        XML-safe escaped text
+    """
+    if not text:
+        return ''
+
+    # Order matters: & must be first
+    text = text.replace('&', '&amp;')
+    text = text.replace('<', '&lt;')
+    text = text.replace('>', '&gt;')
+    text = text.replace('"', '&quot;')
+    text = text.replace("'", '&apos;')
+
+    return text
+```
+
+## Content Type Handling
+
+### Text Content
+
+Plain text, must be escaped:
+
+```xml
+<content type="text">This is plain text with &lt;escaped&gt; characters</content>
+```
+
+### HTML Content
+
+HTML as escaped text:
+
+```xml
+<content type="html">&lt;p&gt;This is &lt;strong&gt;HTML&lt;/strong&gt; content&lt;/p&gt;</content>
+```
+
+### XHTML Content (Future)
+
+Well-formed XML inline:
+
+```xml
+<content type="xhtml">
+  <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
+    <p>This is <strong>XHTML</strong> content</p>
+  </div>
+</content>
+```
+
+## Complete ATOM Feed Example
+
+```xml
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

+
+## Validation
+
+### W3C Feed Validator Compliance
+
+The generated ATOM feed must pass validation at:
+- https://validator.w3.org/feed/
+
+### Common Validation Issues
+
+1. **Missing Required Elements**
+   - Ensure id, title, updated are present
+   - Each entry must have these elements too
+
+2. **Invalid Dates**
+   - Must be RFC 3339 format
+   - Include timezone information
+
+3. **Improper Escaping**
+   - All XML entities must be escaped
+   - No raw HTML in text content
+
+4. **Namespace Issues**
+   - Correct namespace declaration
+   - No prefixed elements without namespace

+## Configuration
+
+### ATOM-Specific Settings
+
+```ini
+# ATOM feed configuration
+STARPUNK_FEED_ATOM_ENABLED=true
+STARPUNK_FEED_ATOM_AUTHOR_NAME=John Doe
+STARPUNK_FEED_ATOM_AUTHOR_EMAIL=john@example.com
+STARPUNK_FEED_ATOM_AUTHOR_URI=https://example.com/about
+STARPUNK_FEED_ATOM_ICON=https://example.com/icon.png

+STARPUNK_FEED_ATOM_RIGHTS=© 2024 John Doe. CC BY-SA 4.0
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **XML Injection Prevention**
+   - All user content must be escaped
+   - No raw XML from user input
+   - Validate all URLs
+
+2. **Content Security**
+   - HTML content properly escaped
+   - No script tags allowed
+   - Sanitize all metadata
+
+3. **Resource Limits**
+   - Maximum feed size limits
+   - Timeout on generation
+   - Rate limiting on endpoint
+
+## Migration Notes
+
+### Adding ATOM to Existing RSS
+
+- ATOM runs parallel to RSS
+- No changes to existing RSS feed
+- Both formats available simultaneously
+- Shared caching infrastructure
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+1. ✅ Valid ATOM 1.0 feed generation
+2. ✅ All required elements present
+3. ✅ RFC 3339 date formatting correct
+4. ✅ XML properly escaped
+5. ✅ Streaming generation working
+6. ✅ W3C validator passing
+7. ✅ Works with 5+ major feed readers
+8. ✅ Performance target met (<100ms)
+9. ✅ Memory efficient streaming
+10. ✅ Security review passed

+# Critical: RSS Feed Ordering Regression Fix
+
+## Status: MUST FIX IN PHASE 2
+
+**Date Identified**: 2025-11-26
+**Severity**: CRITICAL - Production Bug
+**Impact**: All RSS feed consumers see oldest content first
+
+## The Bug
+
+### Current Behavior (INCORRECT)
+RSS feeds are showing entries in ascending chronological order (oldest first) instead of the expected descending order (newest first).
+
+### Location
+- File: `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/starpunk/feed.py`
+- Line 100: `for note in reversed(notes[:limit]):`
+- Line 198: `for note in reversed(notes[:limit]):`
+
+### Root Cause
+The code incorrectly applies `reversed()` to the notes list. The database already returns notes in DESC order (newest first), which is the correct order for feeds. The `reversed()` call flips this to ascending order (oldest first).
+
+The misleading comment "Notes from database are DESC but feedgen reverses them, so we reverse back" is incorrect - feedgen does NOT reverse the order.
+
+## Expected Behavior
+
+**ALL feed formats MUST show newest entries first:**
+
+| Format | Standard | Expected Order |
+|--------|----------|----------------|
+| RSS 2.0 | Industry standard | Newest first |
+| ATOM 1.0 | RFC 4287 recommendation | Newest first |
+| JSON Feed 1.1 | Specification convention | Newest first |
+
+This is not optional - it's the universally expected behavior for all syndication formats.
+
+## Fix Implementation
+
+### Phase 2.0 - Fix RSS Feed Ordering (0.5 hours)
+
+#### Step 1: Remove Incorrect Reversals
+```python
+# Line 100 - BEFORE
+for note in reversed(notes[:limit]):
+
+# Line 100 - AFTER
+for note in notes[:limit]:
+
+# Line 198 - BEFORE
+for note in reversed(notes[:limit]):
+
+# Line 198 - AFTER
+for note in notes[:limit]:
+```
+
+#### Step 2: Update/Remove Misleading Comments
+Remove or correct the comment about feedgen reversing order.
+
+#### Step 3: Add Comprehensive Tests
+```python
+def test_rss_feed_newest_first():
+    """Test RSS feed shows newest entries first"""
+    old_note = create_note(title="Old", created_at=yesterday)
+    new_note = create_note(title="New", created_at=today)
+
+    feed = generate_rss_feed([new_note, old_note])
+    items = parse_feed_items(feed)
+
+    assert items[0].title == "New"
+    assert items[1].title == "Old"
+```
+
+## Prevention Strategy
+
+### 1. Document Expected Behavior
+All feed generator classes now include explicit documentation:
+```python
+def generate(self, notes: List[Note], limit: int = 50):
+    """Generate feed
+
+    IMPORTANT: Notes are expected to be in DESC order (newest first)
+    from the database. This order MUST be preserved in the feed.
+    """
+```
+
+### 2. Implement Order Tests for All Formats
+Every feed format specification now includes mandatory order testing:
+- RSS: `test_rss_feed_newest_first()`
+- ATOM: `test_atom_feed_newest_first()`
+- JSON: `test_json_feed_newest_first()`
+
+### 3. Add to Developer Q&A
+Created CQ9 (Critical Question 9) in the developer Q&A document explicitly stating that newest-first is required for all formats.
+
+## Updated Documents
+
+The following documents have been updated to reflect this critical fix:
+
+1. **`docs/design/v1.1.2/implementation-guide.md`**
+   - Added Phase 2.0 for RSS feed ordering fix
+   - Added feed ordering tests to Phase 2 test requirements
+   - Marked as CRITICAL priority
+
+2. **`docs/design/v1.1.2/atom-feed-specification.md`**
+   - Added order preservation documentation to generator
+   - Added `test_feed_order_newest_first()` test
+   - Added "DO NOT reverse" warning comments
+
+3. **`docs/design/v1.1.2/json-feed-specification.md`**
+   - Added order preservation documentation to generator
+   - Added `test_feed_order_newest_first()` test
+   - Added "DO NOT reverse" warning comments
+
+4. **`docs/design/v1.1.2/developer-qa.md`**
+   - Added CQ9: Feed Entry Ordering
+   - Documented industry standards for each format
+   - Included testing requirements
+
+## Verification Steps
+
+After implementing the fix:
+
+1. Generate RSS feed with multiple notes
+2. Verify first entry has the most recent date
+3. Test with popular feed readers:
+   - Feedly
+   - Inoreader
+   - NewsBlur
+   - The Old Reader
+
+4. Run all feed ordering tests
+5. Validate feeds with online validators
+
+## Timeline
+
+This fix MUST be implemented at the beginning of Phase 2, before any work on ATOM or JSON Feed formats. The corrected RSS implementation will serve as the reference for the new formats.
+
+## Notes
+
+This regression likely occurred due to a misunderstanding about how feedgen handles entry order. The lesson learned is to always verify assumptions about third-party libraries and to implement comprehensive tests for critical user-facing behavior like feed ordering.

+# Developer Q&A for StarPunk v1.1.2 "Syndicate"
+
+**Developer**: StarPunk Fullstack Developer
+**Date**: 2025-11-25
+**Purpose**: Pre-implementation questions for architect review
+
+## Document Overview
+
+This document contains questions identified during the design review of v1.1.2 "Syndicate" specifications. Questions are organized by priority to help the architect focus on blocking issues first.
+
+---
+
+## Critical Questions (Must be answered before implementation)
+
+These questions address blocking issues, unclear requirements, integration points, and major technical decisions that prevent implementation from starting.
+
+### CQ1: Database Instrumentation Integration
+
+**Question**: How should the MonitoredConnection wrapper integrate with the existing database pool implementation?
+
+**Context**:
+- The spec shows a `MonitoredConnection` class that wraps SQLite connections (metrics-instrumentation-spec.md, lines 60-114)
+- We currently have a connection pool in `starpunk/database/pool.py`
+- The spec doesn't clarify whether we:
+  1. Wrap the pool's `get_connection()` method to return wrapped connections
+  2. Replace the pool's connection creation logic
+  3. Modify the pool class itself to include monitoring
+
+**Current Understanding**:
+- I see we have `starpunk/database/pool.py` which manages connections
+- The spec suggests wrapping individual connection's `execute()` method
+- But unclear how this fits with the pool's lifecycle management
+
+**Impact**:
+- Affects database module architecture
+- Determines whether pool needs refactoring
+- May affect existing database queries throughout codebase
+
+**Proposed Approach**:
+Wrap connections at pool level by modifying `get_connection()` to return `MonitoredConnection(real_conn, metrics_collector)`. Is this correct?
+
+---
+
+### CQ2: Metrics Collector Lifecycle and Initialization
+
+**Question**: When and where should the global MetricsCollector instance be initialized, and how should it be passed to all monitoring components?
+
+**Context**:
+- Multiple components need access to the same collector (metrics-instrumentation-spec.md):
+  - MonitoredConnection (database)
+  - HTTPMetricsMiddleware (Flask)
+  - MemoryMonitor (background thread)
+  - SyndicationMetrics (business metrics)
+- No specification for initialization order or dependency injection strategy
+- Flask app initialization happens in `app.py` but monitoring setup is unclear
+
+**Current Understanding**:
+- Need a single collector instance shared across all components
+- Should probably initialize during Flask app setup
+- But unclear if it should be:
+  - App config attribute: `app.metrics_collector`
+  - Global module variable: `from starpunk.monitoring import metrics_collector`
+  - Passed via dependency injection to all modules
+
+**Impact**:
+- Affects application initialization sequence
+- Determines module coupling and testability
+- Affects how metrics are accessed in route handlers
+
+**Proposed Approach**:
+Create collector during Flask app factory, store as `app.metrics_collector`, and pass to monitoring components during setup. Is this the intended pattern?
+
+---
+
+### CQ3: Content Negotiation vs. Explicit Format Endpoints
+
+**Question**: Should we support BOTH explicit format endpoints (`/feed.rss`, `/feed.atom`, `/feed.json`) AND content negotiation on `/feed`, or only content negotiation?
+
+**Context**:
+- ADR-054 section 3 chooses "Content Negotiation" as the preferred approach (lines 155-162)
+- But the architecture diagram (v1.1.2-syndicate-architecture.md) shows "HTTP Request Layer" with "Content Negotiator"
+- Implementation guide (lines 586-592) shows both explicit URLs AND a `/feed` endpoint
+- feed-enhancements-spec.md (line 342) shows a `/feed.<format>` route pattern
+
+**Current Understanding**:
+- ADR-054 prefers content negotiation for standards compliance
+- But examples show explicit `.atom`, `.json` extensions working
+- Unclear if we should implement both for compatibility
+
+**Impact**:
+- Affects route definition strategy
+- Changes URL structure for feeds
+- Determines whether to maintain backward compatibility URLs
+
+**Proposed Approach**:
+Implement both: `/feed.xml` (existing), `/feed.atom`, `/feed.json` for explicit access, PLUS `/feed` with content negotiation as the primary endpoint. Keep `/feed.xml` working for backward compatibility. Is this correct?
+
+---
+
+### CQ4: Cache Checksum Calculation Strategy
+
+**Question**: Should the cache checksum include ALL notes or only the notes that will appear in the feed (respecting the limit)?
+
+**Context**:
+- feed-enhancements-spec.md shows checksum based on "latest note timestamp and count" (lines 317-325)
+- But feeds are limited (default 50 items)
+- If someone publishes note #51, does that invalidate cache for format with limit=50?
+
+**Current Understanding**:
+- Checksum based on: latest timestamp + total count + config
+- But this means cache invalidates even if new note wouldn't appear in limited feed
+- Could be wasteful regeneration
+
+**Impact**:
+- Affects cache hit rates
+- Determines when feeds actually need regeneration
+- May impact performance goals (>80% cache hit rate)
+
+**Proposed Approach**:
+Use checksum based on the latest timestamp of notes that WOULD appear in feed (i.e., first N notes), not all notes. Is this the intent, or should we invalidate for ANY new note?
+
+---
+
+### CQ5: Memory Monitor Thread Lifecycle
+
+**Question**: How should the MemoryMonitor thread be started, stopped, and managed during application lifecycle (startup, shutdown, restarts)?
+
+**Context**:
+- metrics-instrumentation-spec.md shows `MemoryMonitor(Thread)` with daemon flag (line 206)
+- Background thread needs to be started during app initialization
+- But Flask app lifecycle unclear:
+  - When to start thread?
+  - How to handle graceful shutdown?
+  - What about development reloader (Flask debug mode)?
+
+**Current Understanding**:
+- Daemon thread will auto-terminate when main process exits
+- But no specification for:
+  - Starting thread after Flask app created
+  - Preventing duplicate threads in debug mode
+  - Cleanup on shutdown
+
+**Impact**:
+- Affects application stability
+- Determines proper shutdown behavior
+- May cause issues in development with auto-reload
+
+**Proposed Approach**:
+Start thread after Flask app initialized, set daemon=True, store reference in `app.memory_monitor`, implement `app.teardown_appcontext` cleanup. Should we prevent thread start in test mode?
+
+---
+
+### CQ6: Feed Generator Streaming Implementation
+
+**Question**: For ATOM and JSON Feed generators, should we implement BOTH a complete generation method (`generate()`) and streaming method (`generate_streaming()`), or only streaming?
+
+**Context**:
+- ADR-054 states "Streaming Generation" is the chosen approach (lines 22-33)
+- But atom-feed-specification.md shows `generate()` returning `Iterator[str]` (line 128)
+- JSON Feed spec shows both `generate()` returning complete string AND `generate_streaming()` (lines 188-221)
+- Existing RSS implementation has both methods (feed.py lines 32-126 and 129-227)
+
+**Current Understanding**:
+- ADR says streaming is the architecture decision
+- But implementation may need both for:
+  - Caching (need complete string to store)
+  - Streaming response (memory efficient)
+- Unclear if cache should store complete feeds or not cache at all
+
+**Impact**:
+- Affects generator interface design
+- Determines cache strategy (can't cache generators)
+- Memory efficiency trade-offs
+
+**Proposed Approach**:
+Implement both like existing RSS: `generate()` for complete feed (used with caching), `generate_streaming()` for memory-efficient streaming. Cache stores complete strings from `generate()`. Is this correct?
+
+---
+
+### CQ7: Content Negotiation Default Format
+
+**Question**: What format should be returned if content negotiation fails or client provides no preference?
+
+**Context**:
+- feed-enhancements-spec.md shows default to 'rss' (line 106)
+- But also shows checking `available_formats` (lines 88-106)
+- What if RSS is disabled in config? Should we:
+  1. Always default to RSS even if disabled
+  2. Default to first enabled format
+  3. Return 406 Not Acceptable
+
+**Current Understanding**:
+- RSS seems to be the universal default
+- But config allows disabling formats (architecture doc lines 257-259)
+- Edge case: all formats disabled or only one enabled
+
+**Impact**:
+- Affects error handling strategy
+- Determines configuration validation requirements
+- User experience for misconfigured systems
+
+**Proposed Approach**:
+Default to RSS if enabled, else first enabled format alphabetically. Validate at startup that at least one format is enabled. Return 406 if all disabled and no Accept match. Is this acceptable?
+
+---
+
+### CQ8: OPML Generator Endpoint Location
+
+**Question**: Where should the OPML export endpoint be located, and should it require admin authentication?
+
+**Context**:
+- implementation-guide.md shows route as `/feeds.opml` (line 492)
+- feed-enhancements-spec.md shows `export_opml()` function (line 492)
+- But no specification whether it's:
+  - Public endpoint (anyone can access)
+  - Admin-only endpoint
+  - Part of public routes or admin routes
+
+**Current Understanding**:
+- OPML is just a list of feed URLs
+- Nothing sensitive in the data
+- But unclear if it should be public or admin feature
+
+**Impact**:
+- Determines route registration location
+- Affects security/access control decisions
+- May influence feature discoverability
+
+**Proposed Approach**:
+Make `/feeds.opml` a public endpoint (no auth required) since it only exposes feed URLs which are already public. Place in `routes/public.py`. Is this correct?
+
+---
+
+## Important Questions (Should be answered for Phase 1)
+
+These questions address implementation details, performance considerations, testing approaches, and error handling that are important but not blocking.
+
+### IQ1: Database Query Pattern Detection Accuracy
+
+**Question**: How robust should the table name extraction be in `MonitoredConnection._extract_table_name()`?
+
+**Context**:
+- metrics-instrumentation-spec.md shows regex patterns for common cases (lines 107-113)
+- Comment says "Simple regex patterns" with "Implementation details..."
+- Real SQL can be complex (JOINs, subqueries, CTEs)
+
+**Current Understanding**:
+- Basic regex for FROM, INTO, UPDATE patterns
+- Won't handle complex queries perfectly
+- Unclear if we should:
+  1. Keep it simple (basic patterns only)
+  2. Use SQL parser library (more accurate)
+  3. Return "unknown" for complex queries
+
+**Impact**:
+- Affects metrics usefulness (how often is table "unknown"?)
+- Determines dependencies (SQL parser adds complexity)
+- Testing complexity
+
+**Proposed Approach**:
+Implement simple regex for 90% case, return "unknown" for complex queries. Document limitation. Consider SQL parser library as future enhancement if needed. Acceptable?
+
+---
+
+### IQ2: HTTP Metrics Request ID Generation
+
+**Question**: Should request IDs be exposed in response headers for client debugging, and should they be logged?
+
+**Context**:
+- metrics-instrumentation-spec.md generates request_id (line 151)
+- But doesn't specify if it should be:
+  - Returned in response headers (X-Request-ID)
+  - Logged for correlation
+  - Only internal
+
+**Current Understanding**:
+- Request ID useful for debugging
+- Common pattern to return in header
+- Could help correlate client issues with server logs
+
+**Impact**:
+- Affects HTTP response headers
+- Logging strategy decisions
+- Debugging capabilities
+
+**Proposed Approach**:
+Generate UUID for each request, store in `g.request_id`, add `X-Request-ID` response header, include in error logs. Only in debug mode or always? What do you prefer?
+
+---
+
+### IQ3: Slow Query Threshold Configuration
+
+**Question**: Should the slow query threshold (1 second) be configurable, and should it differ by query type?
+
+**Context**:
+- metrics-instrumentation-spec.md has hardcoded 1.0 second threshold (line 86)
+- Configuration shows `STARPUNK_METRICS_SLOW_QUERY_THRESHOLD=1.0` (line 422)
+- But some queries might reasonably be slower (full table scans for admin)
+
+**Current Understanding**:
+- 1 second is reasonable default
+- But different operations have different expectations:
+  - SELECT with full scan: maybe 2s is okay
+  - INSERT: should be fast, 0.5s threshold?
+- Unclear if one threshold fits all
+
+**Impact**:
+- Affects slow query alert noise
+- Determines configuration complexity
+- May need query-type-specific thresholds
+
+**Proposed Approach**:
+Start with single configurable threshold (1 second default). Add query-type-specific thresholds as v1.2 enhancement if needed. Sound reasonable?
+
+---
+
+### IQ4: Feed Cache Invalidation Timing
+
+**Question**: Should cache invalidation happen synchronously when a note is published/updated, or should we rely solely on TTL expiration?
+
+**Context**:
+- feed-enhancements-spec.md shows `invalidate()` method (lines 273-288)
+- But unclear WHEN to call it
+- Options:
+  1. Call on note create/update/delete (immediate invalidation)
+  2. Rely only on TTL (simpler, 5-minute lag)
+  3. Hybrid: invalidate on note changes, TTL as backup
+
+**Current Understanding**:
+- Checksum-based cache keys mean new notes create new cache entries naturally
+- TTL handles expiration automatically
+- Manual invalidation may be redundant
+
+**Impact**:
+- Affects feed freshness (how quickly new notes appear)
+- Code complexity (invalidation hooks vs. simple TTL)
+- Cache hit rates
+
+**Proposed Approach**:
+Rely on checksum + TTL without manual invalidation. New notes change checksum (new cache key), old entries expire via TTL. Simpler and sufficient. Agree?
+
+---
+
+### IQ5: Statistics Dashboard Chart Library
+
+**Question**: Which JavaScript chart library should be used for the syndication dashboard graphs?
+
+**Context**:
+- implementation-guide.md shows Chart.js example (line 598-610)
+- feed-enhancements-spec.md also shows Chart.js (lines 599-609)
+- But we may already use a chart library elsewhere in the admin UI
+
+**Current Understanding**:
+- Chart.js is simple and popular
+- But adds a dependency
+- Need to check if admin UI already uses charts
+
+**Impact**:
+- Determines JavaScript dependencies
+- Affects admin UI consistency
+- Bundle size considerations
+
+**Proposed Approach**:
+Check current admin UI for existing chart library. If none, use Chart.js (lightweight, simple). If we already use something else, use that. Need to review admin templates first. Should I?
+
+---
+
+### IQ6: ATOM Content Type Selection Logic
+
+**Question**: How should the ATOM generator decide between `type="text"`, `type="html"`, and `type="xhtml"` for content?
+
+**Context**:
+- atom-feed-specification.md shows three content types (lines 283-306)
+- Implementation shows checking `note.html` existence (lines 205-214)
+- But doesn't specify when to use XHTML (marked as "Future")
+
+**Current Understanding**:
+- If `note.html` exists: use `type="html"` with escaping
+- If only plain text: use `type="text"`
+- XHTML type is deferred to future
+
+**Impact**:
+- Affects content rendering in feed readers
+- Determines XML structure
+- XHTML support complexity
+
+**Proposed Approach**:
+For v1.1.2, only implement `type="text"` (escaped) and `type="html"` (escaped). Skip `type="xhtml"` for now. Document as future enhancement. Is this acceptable?
+
+---
+
+### IQ7: JSON Feed Custom Extensions Scope
+
+**Question**: What should go in the `_starpunk` custom extension besides permalink_path and word_count?
+
+**Context**:
+- json-feed-specification.md shows custom extension (lines 290-293)
+- Only includes `permalink_path` and `word_count`
+- But we could include other StarPunk-specific data:
+  - Note slug
+  - Note UUID
+  - Tags (though tags are in standard `tags` field)
+  - Syndication targets
+
+**Current Understanding**:
+- Minimal extension with just basic metadata
+- Unclear if we should add more StarPunk-specific fields
+- JSON Feed spec allows any custom fields with underscore prefix
+
+**Impact**:
+- Affects feed schema evolution
+- API stability considerations
+- Client compatibility
+
+**Proposed Approach**:
+Keep it minimal for v1.1.2 (just permalink_path and word_count as shown). Add more fields in v1.2 if user feedback requests them. Document extension schema. Agree?
+
+---
+
+### IQ8: Memory Monitor Baseline Timing
+
+**Question**: The memory monitor waits 5 seconds for baseline (metrics-instrumentation-spec.md line 217). Is this sufficient for Flask app initialization?
+
+**Context**:
+- App initialization involves:
+  - Database connection pool creation
+  - Template loading
+  - Route registration
+  - First request may trigger additional loading
+- 5 seconds may not capture "steady state"
+
+**Current Understanding**:
+- Baseline needed to calculate growth rate
+- 5 seconds is arbitrary
+- First request often allocates more memory (template compilation, etc.)
+
+**Impact**:
+- Affects memory leak detection accuracy
+- False positives if baseline too early
+- Determines monitoring reliability
+
+**Proposed Approach**:
+Wait 5 seconds PLUS wait for first HTTP request completion before setting baseline. This ensures app is "warmed up". Does this make sense?
+
+---
+
+### IQ9: Feed Validation Integration
+
+**Question**: Should feed validation be:
+1. Automatic on every generation (validates output)
+2. Manual via admin endpoint
+3. Only in tests
+
+**Context**:
+- implementation-guide.md mentions validation framework (lines 332-365)
+- Validators for each format (RSS, ATOM, JSON)
+- But unclear if validation runs in production or just tests
+
+**Current Understanding**:
+- Validation adds overhead
+- Useful for testing and development
+- But may be too slow for production
+
+**Impact**:
+- Performance impact on feed generation
+- Error handling strategy (what if validation fails?)
+- Development/debugging workflow
+
+**Proposed Approach**:
+Implement validators for testing only. Optionally enable in debug mode. Add admin endpoint `/admin/validate-feeds` for manual validation. Skip in production for performance. Sound good?
+
+---
+
+### IQ10: Syndication Statistics Retention
+
+**Question**: The architecture doc mentions 7-day retention (line 279), but how should old statistics be pruned?
+
+**Context**:
+- SyndicationStats collects metrics in memory (feed-enhancements-spec.md lines 387-478)
+- Uses deque with maxlen for some data (errors)
+- But counters and histograms grow unbounded
+- 7-day retention mentioned but no pruning mechanism shown
+
+**Current Understanding**:
+- In-memory stats grow over time
+- Need periodic cleanup or rotation
+- But no specification for HOW to prune
+
+**Impact**:
+- Memory leak potential
+- Data accuracy over time
+- Dashboard performance with large datasets
+
+**Proposed Approach**:
+Add timestamp to all metrics, implement periodic cleanup (daily cron-like task) to remove data older than 7 days. Store in time-bucketed structure for efficient pruning. Is this the right approach?
+
+---
+
+## Nice-to-Have Clarifications (Can defer if needed)
+
+These questions address optimizations, future enhancements, and documentation details that don't block implementation.
+
+### NH1: Performance Benchmark Automation
+
+**Question**: Should performance benchmarks be automated in CI/CD, or just manual developer tests?
+
+**Context**:
+- Multiple specs include benchmark examples
+- atom-feed-specification.md has benchmark functions (lines 458-489)
+- But unclear if these should run in CI
+
+**Current Understanding**:
+- Benchmarks help ensure performance targets met
+- But may be flaky in CI environment
+- Could add to test suite but not as gate
+
+**Impact**:
+- CI/CD pipeline complexity
+- Performance regression detection
+- Development workflow
+
+**Proposed Approach**:
+Create benchmark test suite, mark as `@pytest.mark.benchmark`, run manually or optionally in CI. Don't block merges on benchmark results. Make it opt-in. Acceptable?
+
+---
+
+### NH2: Feed Format Feature Parity
+
+**Question**: Should all three formats (RSS, ATOM, JSON) expose exactly the same data, or can they differ based on format capabilities?
+
+**Context**:
+- RSS: Basic fields (title, description, link, date)
+- ATOM: Richer (author objects, categories, updated vs published)
+- JSON: Most flexible (attachments, custom extensions)
+
+**Current Understanding**:
+- Each format has different capabilities
+- Should we limit to common denominator or leverage format strengths?
+
+**Impact**:
+- User experience varies by format choice
+- Implementation complexity
+- Testing matrix
+
+**Proposed Approach**:
+Leverage format strengths: include author in ATOM, custom extensions in JSON, keep RSS basic. Document differences in feed format comparison. Users can choose based on needs. Okay?
+
+---
+
+### NH3: Content Negotiation Quality Factor Scoring
+
+**Question**: The negotiation algorithm (feed-enhancements-spec.md lines 141-166) shows wildcard scoring. Should we support more nuanced quality factor logic?
+
+**Context**:
+- Current logic: exact=1.0, wildcard=0.1, type/*=0.5
+- Quality factors multiply these scores
+- But clients might send complex preferences like:
+  `application/atom+xml;q=0.9, application/rss+xml;q=0.8, application/json;q=0.7`
+
+**Current Understanding**:
+- Simple scoring algorithm shown
+- May not handle all edge cases
+- But probably good enough for feed readers
+
+**Impact**:
+- Content negotiation accuracy
+- Complex client preference handling
+- Testing complexity
+
+**Proposed Approach**:
+Keep simple algorithm as specified. If real-world edge cases emerge, enhance in v1.2. Log negotiation decisions in debug mode for troubleshooting. Sufficient?
+
+---
+
+### NH4: Cache Statistics Persistence
+
+**Question**: Should cache statistics survive application restarts?
+
+**Context**:
+- feed-enhancements-spec.md shows in-memory stats (lines 213-220)
+- Stats reset on restart
+- Dashboard shows historical data
+
+**Current Understanding**:
+- All stats in memory (lost on restart)
+- Simplest implementation
+- But loses historical trends
+
+**Impact**:
+- Historical analysis capability
+- Dashboard usefulness over time
+- Storage complexity if we add persistence
+
+**Proposed Approach**:
+Keep stats in memory for v1.1.2. Document that stats reset on restart. Consider SQLite persistence in v1.2 if users request it. Defer for now?
+
+---
+
+### NH5: Feed Reader User Agent Detection Patterns
+
+**Question**: The regex patterns for user agent normalization (feed-enhancements-spec.md lines 459-476) are basic. Should we use a user-agent parsing library?
+
+**Context**:
+- Simple regex patterns for common readers
+- But user agents can be complex and varied
+- Libraries like `user-agents` exist
+
+**Current Understanding**:
+- Regex covers major feed readers
+- Library adds dependency
+- Trade-off: accuracy vs. simplicity
+
+**Impact**:
+- Statistics accuracy
+- Dependencies
+- Maintenance burden (regex needs updates)
+
+**Proposed Approach**:
+Start with regex patterns, log unknown user agents, update patterns as needed. Add library later if regex becomes unmaintainable. Star with simple. Okay?
+
+---
+
+### NH6: OPML Multiple Feed Organization
+
+**Question**: Should OPML export support grouping feeds by category or just flat list?
+
+**Context**:
+- Current spec shows flat outline list (feed-enhancements-spec.md lines 707-723)
+- OPML supports nested outlines for categorization
+- Could group by format: "RSS Feeds", "ATOM Feeds", "JSON Feeds"
+
+**Current Understanding**:
+- Flat list is simplest
+- Three feeds (RSS, ATOM, JSON) probably don't need grouping
+- But OPML spec supports it
+
+**Impact**:
+- OPML complexity
+- User experience in feed readers
+- Future extensibility (custom feeds)
+
+**Proposed Approach**:
+Keep flat list for v1.1.2 (just 3 feeds). Add optional grouping in v1.2 if we add custom feeds or filters. YAGNI for now. Agree?
+
+---
+
+### NH7: Streaming Chunk Size Optimization
+
+**Question**: The architecture doc mentions 4KB chunk size (line 253). Should this be configurable or optimized per format?
+
+**Context**:
+- ADR-054 specifies 4KB streaming chunks (line 253)
+- But different formats have different structure:
+  - RSS/ATOM: XML entries vary in size
+  - JSON: Object-based structure
+- May want format-specific chunk strategies
+
+**Current Understanding**:
+- 4KB is reasonable default
+- Generators yield semantic chunks (whole items), not byte chunks
+- HTTP layer may buffer differently anyway
+
+**Impact**:
+- Memory efficiency trade-offs
+- Network performance
+- Implementation complexity
+
+**Proposed Approach**:
+Don't enforce strict 4KB chunks. Let generators yield semantic units (complete entries/items). Let Flask/HTTP layer handle buffering. Document approximate chunk sizes. Flexible approach okay?
+
+---
+
+### NH8: Error Handling for Feed Generation Failures
+
+**Question**: What should happen if feed generation fails midway through streaming?
+
+**Context**:
+- Streaming sends response headers immediately
+- If error occurs mid-stream, headers already sent
+- Can't return 500 status code at that point
+
+**Current Understanding**:
+- Streaming commits to response early
+- Errors mid-stream are problematic
+- Need error handling strategy
+
+**Impact**:
+- Error recovery UX
+- Client handling of partial feeds
+- Logging and alerting
+
+**Proposed Approach**:
+1. Validate inputs before streaming starts
+2. If error mid-stream, log error and truncate feed (may be invalid XML/JSON)
+3. Monitor error logs for generation failures
+4. Consider pre-generating to memory if errors are common (defeats streaming)
+
+Is this acceptable, or should we always generate to memory first?
+
+---
+
+### NH9: Metrics Dashboard Auto-Refresh
+
+**Question**: Should the syndication dashboard auto-refresh, and if so, at what interval?
+
+**Context**:
+- Dashboard shows live statistics (feed-enhancements-spec.md lines 483-611)
+- Stats change as requests come in
+- But no auto-refresh specified
+
+**Current Understanding**:
+- Manual refresh okay for admin UI
+- Auto-refresh could be nice
+- But adds JavaScript complexity
+
+**Impact**:
+- User experience for monitoring
+- JavaScript dependencies
+- Server load (polling)
+
+**Proposed Approach**:
+No auto-refresh for v1.1.2. Admin can manually refresh browser. Add auto-refresh in v1.2 if requested. Keep it simple. Fine?
+
+---
+
+### NH10: Configuration Validation for Feed Settings
+
+**Question**: Should feed configuration be validated at startup (fail-fast), or allow invalid config with runtime errors?
+
+**Context**:
+- Many new config options (implementation-guide.md lines 549-563)
+- Some interdependent (ENABLED flags, cache sizes, TTLs)
+- Current `validate_config()` in config.py validates basics
+
+**Current Understanding**:
+- Config validation exists for core settings
+- Need to extend for feed settings
+- But unclear how strict to be
+
+**Impact**:
+- Error discovery timing (startup vs. runtime)
+- Configuration flexibility
+- Development experience
+
+**Proposed Approach**:
+Add feed config validation to `validate_config()`:
+- At least one format enabled
+- Positive integers for cache size, TTL, limits
+- Warn if cache TTL very short (<60s) or very long (>3600s)
+- Fail fast on startup
+
+Is this the right level of validation?
+
+---
+
+## Summary and Next Steps
+
+**Total Questions**: 30
+- Critical (blocking): 8
+- Important (Phase 1): 10
+- Nice-to-Have (deferrable): 12
+
+**Priority for Architect**:
+1. Answer critical questions first (CQ1-CQ8) - these block implementation start
+2. Review important questions (IQ1-IQ10) - needed for Phase 1 quality
+3. Nice-to-have questions (NH1-NH10) - can defer or apply judgment
+
+**Developer's Current Understanding**:
+After thorough review of all specifications, I understand the overall architecture and design intent. The questions primarily focus on:
+- Integration points with existing code
+- Ambiguities in specifications
+- Edge cases and error handling
+- Configuration and lifecycle management
+- Trade-offs between simplicity and features
+
+**Ready to Implement**:
+Once critical questions are answered, I can begin Phase 1 implementation (Metrics Instrumentation) with confidence. The important questions can be answered during Phase 1 development, and nice-to-have questions can be deferred.
+
+**Request to Architect**:
+Please prioritize answering CQ1-CQ8 first. For the others, feel free to provide brief guidance or "use your judgment" if the answer is obvious. I'll create follow-up questions document after Phase 1 if new issues emerge.
+
+Thank you for the thorough design documentation - it makes implementation much clearer!

+   - Include all feed formats
+   - Add feed metadata
+   - Validate output
+
+### Non-Functional Requirements
+
+1. **Performance**
+   - Cache hit rate >80%
+   - Negotiation <1ms
+   - Dashboard load <100ms
+   - OPML generation <10ms
+
+2. **Scalability**
+   - Bounded memory usage
+   - Efficient cache eviction
+   - Statistical sampling
+   - Async processing
+

+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Content Negotiation Tests
+
+```python
+def test_content_negotiation():
+    """Test Accept header parsing and format selection"""
+    negotiator = ContentNegotiator()
+
+    # Test exact matches
+    assert negotiator.negotiate('application/atom+xml') == 'atom'
+    assert negotiator.negotiate('application/feed+json') == 'json'
+    assert negotiator.negotiate('application/rss+xml') == 'rss'
+
+    # Test quality factors

+
+    # Test no preference
+    assert negotiator.negotiate('') == 'rss'
+    assert negotiator.negotiate('text/html') == 'rss'
+```
+
+### Cache Tests
+
+```python
+def test_feed_cache():
+    """Test LRU cache with TTL"""
+    cache = FeedCache(max_size=3, default_ttl=1)
+
+    # Test set and get

+
+### Statistics Tests
+
+```python

+    assert summary['total_requests'] == 3
+    assert 'rss' in summary['format_distribution']
+    assert len(summary['top_user_agents']) > 0
+```
+
+### OPML Tests
+
+```python
+def test_opml_generation():
+    """Test OPML export"""
+    generator = OPMLGenerator(
+        site_url='https://example.com',
+        site_name='Test Site',

+    assert outlines[2].get('type') == 'json'
+```
+
+## Performance Benchmarks
+
+### Negotiation Performance
+
+```python
+def benchmark_content_negotiation():
+    """Benchmark negotiation speed"""
+    negotiator = ContentNegotiator()
+    complex_header = 'text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8'
+
+    start = time.perf_counter()
+    for _ in range(10000):
+        negotiator.negotiate(complex_header)
+    duration = time.perf_counter() - start
+
+    per_call = (duration / 10000) * 1000  # Convert to ms
+    assert per_call < 1.0  # Less than 1ms per negotiation
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+```ini
+# Content negotiation
+STARPUNK_FEED_NEGOTIATION_ENABLED=true
+STARPUNK_FEED_DEFAULT_FORMAT=rss
+
+# Cache settings
+STARPUNK_FEED_CACHE_ENABLED=true
+STARPUNK_FEED_CACHE_SIZE=100
+STARPUNK_FEED_CACHE_TTL=300
+STARPUNK_FEED_CACHE_MEMORY_LIMIT=10  # MB
+
+# Statistics
+STARPUNK_FEED_STATS_ENABLED=true
+STARPUNK_FEED_STATS_RETENTION=7  # days
+
+# OPML
+STARPUNK_FEED_OPML_ENABLED=true
+STARPUNK_FEED_OPML_OWNER_NAME=
+STARPUNK_FEED_OPML_OWNER_EMAIL=
+```
+

+- [x] Ensure development environment has Python 3.11+
+- [x] Create feature branch: `feature/v1.1.2-syndicate`
+- [ ] Review feed format specifications (RSS 2.0, ATOM 1.0, JSON Feed 1.1)
+- [ ] Set up feed reader test clients
+
+## Phase 1: Metrics Instrumentation (4-6 hours) ✅ COMPLETE
+
+### Objective
+Complete the metrics instrumentation that was partially implemented in v1.1.1, adding comprehensive coverage across all system operations.
+
+### 1.1 Database Operation Timing (1.5 hours) ✅
+
+**Location**: `starpunk/monitoring/database.py`
+
+**Implementation Steps**:
+
+1. **Create Database Monitor Wrapper**
+   ```python
+   class MonitoredConnection:
+       """Wrapper for SQLite connections with timing"""
+
+       def execute(self, query, params=None):
+           # Start timer
+           # Execute query
+           # Record metric
+           # Return result
+   ```
+
+2. **Instrument All Query Types**
+   - SELECT queries (with row count)
+   - INSERT operations (with affected rows)
+   - UPDATE operations (with affected rows)
+   - DELETE operations (rare, but instrumented)
+   - Transaction boundaries (BEGIN/COMMIT)
+
+3. **Add Query Pattern Detection**
+   - Identify query type (SELECT, INSERT, etc.)
+   - Extract table name
+   - Detect slow queries (>1s)
+   - Track prepared statement usage
+
+**Metrics to Collect**:
+- `db.query.duration` - Query execution time
+- `db.query.count` - Number of queries by type
+- `db.rows.returned` - Result set size
+- `db.transaction.duration` - Transaction time
+- `db.connection.wait` - Connection acquisition time
+
+### 1.2 HTTP Request/Response Metrics (1.5 hours) ✅
+

+           'start_memory': get_memory_usage(),
+           'request_id': generate_request_id()
+       }
+   ```
+
+2. **Capture Response Metrics**
+   ```python
+   @app.after_request
+   def capture_response_metrics(response):
+       # Calculate duration
+       # Measure memory delta
+       # Record response size
+       # Track status codes
+   ```
+
+3. **Add Endpoint-Specific Metrics**
+   - Feed generation timing
+   - Micropub processing time
+   - Static file serving
+   - Admin operations
+
+**Metrics to Collect**:
+- `http.request.duration` - Total request time
+- `http.request.size` - Request body size
+- `http.response.size` - Response body size
+- `http.status.{code}` - Status code distribution
+- `http.endpoint.{name}` - Per-endpoint timing
+
+### 1.3 Memory Monitoring Thread (1 hour) ✅
+
+**Location**: `starpunk/monitoring/memory.py`
+
+**Implementation Steps**:
+
+1. **Create Background Monitor**
+   ```python
+   class MemoryMonitor(Thread):
+       def run(self):
+           while self.running:
+               # Get RSS memory
+               # Check for growth
+               # Detect potential leaks
+               # Sleep interval
+   ```
+
+2. **Track Memory Patterns**
+   - Process RSS memory
+   - Virtual memory size
+   - Memory growth rate
+   - High water mark
+   - Garbage collection stats
+
+3. **Add Leak Detection**
+   - Baseline after startup
+   - Track growth over time
+   - Alert on sustained growth
+   - Identify allocation sources
+
+**Metrics to Collect**:
+- `memory.rss` - Resident set size
+- `memory.vms` - Virtual memory size
+- `memory.growth_rate` - MB/hour
+- `memory.gc.collections` - GC runs
+- `memory.high_water` - Peak usage
+
+### 1.4 Business Metrics for Syndication (1 hour) ✅

+
+3. **User Behavior Metrics**
+   - Popular feed formats
+   - Reader user agents
+   - Request patterns
+   - Geographic distribution
+
+**Metrics to Collect**:
+- `feed.requests.{format}` - Requests by format

+**Completed**: 2025-11-25
+**Developer**: StarPunk Fullstack Developer (AI)
+**Review**: Approved by Architect on 2025-11-26
+**Test Results**: 28/28 tests passing
+**Performance**: <1% overhead achieved
+**Next Step**: Begin Phase 2 - Feed Formats
+
+**Note**: All Phase 1 metrics instrumentation is complete and ready for production use. Business metrics functions are available for integration into notes.py and feed.py during Phase 2.
+
+## Phase 2: Feed Formats (6-8 hours)
+
+### Objective
+Fix RSS feed ordering regression, then implement ATOM and JSON Feed formats alongside existing RSS, with proper content negotiation and caching.
+
+### 2.0 Fix RSS Feed Ordering Regression (0.5 hours) - CRITICAL
+
+**Location**: `starpunk/feed.py`
+
+**Critical Production Bug**: RSS feed currently shows oldest entries first instead of newest first. This violates RSS standards and user expectations.
+
+**Root Cause**: Incorrect `reversed()` calls on lines 100 and 198 that flip the correct DESC order from database.
+
+**Implementation Steps**:
+
+1. **Remove Incorrect Reversals**
+   - Line 100: Remove `reversed()` from `for note in reversed(notes[:limit]):`
+   - Line 198: Remove `reversed()` from `for note in reversed(notes[:limit]):`
+   - Update/remove misleading comments about feedgen reversing order
+
+2. **Verify Expected Behavior**
+   - Database returns notes in DESC order (newest first) - confirmed line 440 of notes.py
+   - Feed should maintain this order (newest entries first)
+   - This is the standard for ALL feed formats (RSS, ATOM, JSON Feed)
+
+3. **Add Feed Order Tests**
+   ```python
+   def test_rss_feed_newest_first():
+       """Test RSS feed shows newest entries first"""
+       # Create notes with different timestamps
+       old_note = create_note(title="Old", created_at=yesterday)
+       new_note = create_note(title="New", created_at=today)
+
+       # Generate feed
+       feed = generate_rss_feed([old_note, new_note])
+
+       # Parse and verify order
+       items = parse_feed_items(feed)
+       assert items[0].title == "New"
+       assert items[1].title == "Old"
+   ```
+
+**Important**: This MUST be fixed before implementing ATOM and JSON feeds to ensure all formats have consistent, correct ordering.
+
+### 2.1 ATOM Feed Generation (2.5 hours)
+
+**Location**: `starpunk/feed/atom.py`
+
+**Implementation Steps**:
+
+1. **Create ATOM Generator Class**
+   ```python
+   class AtomGenerator:
+       def generate(self, notes, config):
+           # Yield XML declaration
+           # Yield feed element
+           # Yield entries
+           # Stream output
+   ```
+
+2. **Implement ATOM 1.0 Elements**
+   - Required: id, title, updated
+   - Recommended: author, link, category
+   - Optional: contributor, generator, icon, logo, rights, subtitle
+
+3. **Handle Content Types**
+   - Text content (escaped)

+    cached = cache.get(key)
+
+    if cached and not expired(cached):
+        metrics.record_cache_hit()
+        return cached
+
+    content = generate_feed(format, limit)

+       # Generate OPML header
+       # Add feed outlines
+       # Include metadata
+       return opml_content
+   ```
+
+2. **OPML Structure**
+   ```xml
+   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

+       <outline type="atom" text="ATOM Feed" xmlUrl="https://example.com/feed.atom"/>
+       <outline type="json" text="JSON Feed" xmlUrl="https://example.com/feed.json"/>
+     </body>
+   </opml>
+   ```
+
+3. **Add Export Route**
+   ```python
+   @app.route('/feeds.opml')
+   def export_opml():

+2. **Missing Required Fields**
+   - version, title, items required
+   - Each item needs id
+
+3. **Invalid Date Format**
+   - Must be RFC 3339
+   - Include timezone
+
+4. **Invalid URLs**
+   - Must be absolute URLs
+   - Properly encoded

+    duration = time.perf_counter() - start
+
+    assert duration < 0.05  # Less than 50ms
+    assert len(feed_json) > 0
+```
+
+### Size Comparison
+
+```python
+def test_json_vs_xml_size():
+    """Compare JSON feed size to RSS/ATOM"""
+    notes = generate_sample_notes(50)
+
+    # Generate all formats

+
+    # JSON should be more compact
+    print(f"JSON: {len(json_feed)} bytes")
+    print(f"RSS:  {len(rss_feed)} bytes")
+    print(f"ATOM: {len(atom_feed)} bytes")
+
+    # Typically JSON is 20-30% smaller
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### JSON Feed Settings
+
+```ini
+# JSON Feed configuration
+STARPUNK_FEED_JSON_ENABLED=true
+STARPUNK_FEED_JSON_AUTHOR_NAME=John Doe
+STARPUNK_FEED_JSON_AUTHOR_URL=https://example.com/about
+STARPUNK_FEED_JSON_AUTHOR_AVATAR=https://example.com/avatar.jpg
+STARPUNK_FEED_JSON_ICON=https://example.com/icon.png
+STARPUNK_FEED_JSON_FAVICON=https://example.com/favicon.ico
+STARPUNK_FEED_JSON_LANGUAGE=en
+STARPUNK_FEED_JSON_HUB_URL=  # WebSub hub URL (optional)
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **JSON Injection Prevention**
+   - Proper JSON escaping
+   - No raw user input
+   - Validate all URLs
+
+2. **Content Security**
+   - HTML content sanitized
+   - No script injection
+   - Safe JSON encoding
+
+3. **Size Limits**
+   - Maximum feed size
+   - Item count limits
+   - Timeout protection
+
+## Migration Notes
+
+### Adding JSON Feed
+
+- Runs parallel to RSS/ATOM
+- No changes to existing feeds
+- Shared caching infrastructure
+- Same data source
+
+## Advanced Features
+
+### WebSub Support (Future)
+
+```json
+{
+  "hubs": [
+    {
+      "type": "WebSub",
+      "url": "https://example.com/hub"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Pagination
+
+```json
+{
+  "next_url": "https://example.com/feed.json?page=2"
+}
+```
+
+### Attachments
+
+```json
+{
+  "attachments": [
+    {
+      "url": "https://example.com/podcast.mp3",
+      "mime_type": "audio/mpeg",

+      "size_in_bytes": 25000000,
+      "duration_in_seconds": 1800
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```

+# Metrics Instrumentation Specification - v1.1.2
+
+## Overview
+
+This specification completes the metrics instrumentation foundation started in v1.1.1, adding comprehensive coverage for database operations, HTTP requests, memory monitoring, and business-specific syndication metrics.
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+1. **Database Performance Metrics**
+   - Time all database operations
+   - Track query patterns and frequency
+   - Detect slow queries (>1 second)
+   - Monitor connection pool utilization
+   - Count rows affected/returned
+
+2. **HTTP Request/Response Metrics**
+   - Full request lifecycle timing
+   - Request and response size tracking
+   - Status code distribution
+   - Per-endpoint performance metrics
+   - Client identification (user agent)
+
+3. **Memory Monitoring**
+   - Continuous RSS memory tracking
+   - Memory growth detection
+   - High water mark tracking
+   - Garbage collection statistics
+   - Leak detection algorithms
+
+4. **Business Metrics**
+   - Feed request counts by format
+   - Cache hit/miss rates
+   - Content publication rates
+   - Syndication success tracking
+   - Format popularity analysis
+
+### Non-Functional Requirements
+
+1. **Performance Impact**
+   - Total overhead <1% when enabled
+   - Zero impact when disabled
+   - Efficient metric storage (<2MB)
+   - Non-blocking collection
+
+2. **Data Retention**
+   - In-memory circular buffer
+   - Last 1000 metrics retained
+   - 15-minute detail window
+   - Automatic cleanup
+
+## Design

+```
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+1. **Collector Tests**
+   ```python
+   def test_metrics_buffer_circular():
+       collector = MetricsCollector(buffer_size=10)
+       for i in range(20):
+           collector.record_metric('test', 'metric', i)
+       assert len(collector.buffer) == 10
+       assert collector.buffer[0]['value'] == 10  # Oldest is 10, not 0
+   ```
+
+2. **Instrumentation Tests**
+   ```python
+   def test_database_timing():
+       conn = MonitoredConnection(':memory:', collector)
+       conn.execute('CREATE TABLE test (id INTEGER)')
+
+       metrics = collector.get_summary()
+       assert 'db.query.duration' in metrics['histograms']
+       assert metrics['counters']['db.query.count'] == 1
+   ```
+
+### Integration Tests
+
+1. **End-to-End Request Tracking**
+   ```python
+   def test_request_metrics():
+       response = client.get('/feed.xml')
+
+       metrics = app.metrics_collector.get_summary()
+       assert 'http.request.duration' in metrics['histograms']
+       assert metrics['counters']['http.status.200'] > 0
+   ```
+
+2. **Memory Leak Detection**
+   ```python
+   def test_memory_monitoring():
+       monitor = MemoryMonitor(collector)
+       monitor.start()
+
+       # Simulate memory growth
+       large_list = [0] * 1000000
+       time.sleep(15)
+
+       metrics = collector.get_summary()
+       assert metrics['gauges']['memory.rss'] > 0
+   ```
+
+## Performance Benchmarks
+
+### Overhead Measurement
+
+```python
+def benchmark_instrumentation_overhead():
+    # Baseline without instrumentation
+    config.METRICS_ENABLED = False
+    start = time.perf_counter()
+    for _ in range(1000):
+        execute_operation()
+    baseline = time.perf_counter() - start
+
+    # With instrumentation
+    config.METRICS_ENABLED = True
+    start = time.perf_counter()
+    for _ in range(1000):
+        execute_operation()
+    instrumented = time.perf_counter() - start
+
+    overhead_percent = ((instrumented - baseline) / baseline) * 100
+    assert overhead_percent < 1.0  # Less than 1% overhead
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **No Sensitive Data**: Never log query parameters that might contain passwords
+2. **Rate Limiting**: Metrics endpoints should be rate-limited
+3. **Access Control**: Metrics dashboard requires admin authentication
+4. **Data Sanitization**: Escape all user-provided data in metrics
+
+## Migration Notes
+
+### From v1.1.1
+
+- Existing performance monitoring configuration remains compatible
+- New metrics are additive, no breaking changes
+- Dashboard enhanced but backward compatible
+
+## Acceptance Criteria

+# CSS Design for Media Display (v1.2.0)
+
+## Status
+**Superseded by media-display-fixes.md**
+
+This document contains an earlier design iteration. The authoritative specification is now in `media-display-fixes.md` which provides a more comprehensive solution including template refactoring and consistent media display across all pages.
+
+## Problem Statement
+Images uploaded via the media upload feature display at full resolution, breaking layout bounds and creating poor user experience. Need CSS rules to constrain and style images appropriately.
+
+## Design Decision
+
+### CSS Rules to Add
+
+Add the following CSS rules after line 49 (after `.empty-state` rules) in `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/static/css/style.css`:
+
+```css
+/* Media Display Styles (v1.2.0) */
+.note-media { margin-bottom: var(--spacing-md); }
+.note-media figure, .e-content figure { margin: 0 0 var(--spacing-md) 0; }
+.note-media img, .e-content img, .u-photo { max-width: 100%; height: auto; display: block; border-radius: var(--border-radius); }
+.note-media figcaption, .e-content figcaption { margin-top: var(--spacing-sm); font-size: 0.875rem; color: var(--color-text-light); font-style: italic; }
+
+/* Multiple media items grid */
+.note-media { display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: var(--spacing-md); }
+.note-media .media-item { flex: 1 1 100%; }
+
+/* Desktop: side-by-side for multiple images */
+@media (min-width: 768px) {
+  .note-media .media-item:only-child { flex: 1 1 100%; }
+  .note-media .media-item:not(:only-child) { flex: 1 1 calc(50% - var(--spacing-sm)); }
+}
+```
+
+## Rationale
+
+### 1. Responsive Image Constraints
+- `max-width: 100%` ensures images never exceed container width
+- `height: auto` maintains aspect ratio
+- `display: block` removes inline spacing issues
+- Works with existing HTML `width` and `height` attributes for proper aspect ratio hints
+
+### 2. Consistent Visual Design
+- `border-radius: var(--border-radius)` matches existing design system (4px)
+- Uses existing spacing variables for consistent margins
+- Caption styling matches `.note-meta` text style (0.875rem, light gray)
+
+### 3. Flexible Layout
+- Single images take full width
+- Multiple images display in a responsive grid
+- Mobile: stacked vertically (100% width each)
+- Desktop: two columns for multiple images (50% width each)
+- Flexbox with gap provides clean spacing
+
+### 4. Scope Coverage
+- `.note-media img` - images in the media section
+- `.e-content img` - images in markdown content
+- `.u-photo` - microformats photo class (covers both media and author photos)
+- Applies to both `figure` and standalone `img` elements
+
+### 5. Performance Considerations
+- No complex calculations or transforms
+- Leverages browser native image sizing
+- Uses existing CSS variables (no new computations)
+- Respects HTML width/height attributes for layout stability
+
+## Alternative Approaches Considered
+
+### Object-fit Approach (Rejected)
+```css
+img { object-fit: cover; width: 100%; height: 400px; }
+```
+- Rejected: Crops images, losing content
+- Rejected: Fixed height doesn't work for varied aspect ratios
+
+### Container Query Approach (Rejected)
+```css
+@container (min-width: 600px) { ... }
+```
+- Rejected: Limited browser support
+- Rejected: Unnecessary complexity for this use case
+
+### CSS Grid Approach (Rejected)
+```css
+.note-media { display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(300px, 1fr)); }
+```
+- Rejected: More complex than needed
+- Rejected: Less flexible for single vs multiple images
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+1. **Location in style.css**: Insert after line 49, before `.form-group` rules
+2. **Testing Required**:
+   - Single image display
+   - Multiple images (2, 3, 4 images)
+   - Portrait and landscape orientations
+   - Mobile and desktop viewports
+   - Images in markdown content
+   - Author avatar photos
+
+3. **Browser Compatibility**: All rules use widely supported CSS features (flexbox, max-width, CSS variables)
+
+4. **Future Enhancements** (not for v1.2.0):
+   - Lightbox/modal for full-size viewing
+   - Lazy loading optimization
+   - WebP format support
+   - Image galleries with thumbnails
+
+## Standards Compliance
+
+- **IndieWeb**: Preserves `.u-photo` microformat class
+- **Accessibility**: Maintains alt text display, proper figure/figcaption semantics
+- **Performance**: No JavaScript required, pure CSS solution
+- **Progressive Enhancement**: Images remain functional without CSS

+# v1.2.0 Developer Q&A
+
+**Date**: 2025-11-28
+**Architect**: StarPunk Architect Subagent
+**Purpose**: Answer critical implementation questions for v1.2.0
+
+## Custom Slugs Answers
+
+**Q1: Validation pattern conflict - should we apply new lowercase validation to existing slugs?**
+- **Answer:** Validate only new custom slugs, don't migrate existing slugs
+- **Rationale:** Existing slugs work, no need to change them retroactively
+- **Implementation:** In `validate_and_sanitize_custom_slug()`, apply lowercase enforcement only to new/edited slugs
+
+**Q2: Form field readonly behavior - how should the slug field behave on edit forms?**
+- **Answer:** Display as readonly input field with current value visible
+- **Rationale:** Users need to see the current slug but understand it cannot be changed
+- **Implementation:** Use `readonly` attribute, not `disabled` (disabled fields don't submit with form)
+
+**Q3: Slug uniqueness validation - where should this happen?**
+- **Answer:** Both client-side (for UX) and server-side (for security)
+- **Rationale:** Client-side prevents unnecessary submissions, server-side is authoritative
+- **Implementation:** Database unique constraint + Python validation in `validate_and_sanitize_custom_slug()`
+
+## Media Upload Answers
+
+**Q4: Media upload flow - how should upload and note association work?**
+- **Answer:** Upload during note creation, associate via note_id after creation
+- **Rationale:** Simpler than pre-upload with temporary IDs
+- **Implementation:** Upload files in `create_note_submit()` after note is created, store associations in media table
+
+**Q5: Storage directory structure - exact path format?**
+- **Answer:** `data/media/YYYY/MM/filename-uuid.ext`
+- **Rationale:** Date organization helps with backups and management
+- **Implementation:** Use `os.makedirs(path, exist_ok=True)` to create directories as needed
+
+**Q6: File naming convention - how to ensure uniqueness?**
+- **Answer:** `{original_name_slug}-{uuid4()[:8]}.{extension}`
+- **Rationale:** Preserves original name for SEO while ensuring uniqueness
+- **Implementation:** Slugify original filename, append 8-char UUID, preserve extension
+
+**Q7: MIME type validation - which types exactly?**
+- **Answer:** Allow: image/jpeg, image/png, image/gif, image/webp. Reject all others
+- **Rationale:** Common web formats only, no SVG (XSS risk)
+- **Implementation:** Use python-magic for reliable MIME detection, not just file extension
+
+**Q8: Upload size limits - what's reasonable?**
+- **Answer:** 10MB per file, 40MB total per note (4 files × 10MB)
+- **Rationale:** Sufficient for high-quality images without overwhelming storage
+- **Implementation:** Check in both client-side JavaScript and server-side validation
+
+**Q9: Database schema for media table - exact columns?**
+- **Answer:** id, note_id, filename, mime_type, size_bytes, width, height, uploaded_at
+- **Rationale:** Minimal but sufficient metadata for display and management
+- **Implementation:** Use Pillow to extract image dimensions on upload
+
+**Q10: Orphaned file cleanup - how to handle?**
+- **Answer:** Keep orphaned files, add admin cleanup tool in future version
+- **Rationale:** Data preservation is priority, cleanup can be manual for v1.2.0
+- **Implementation:** Log orphaned files but don't auto-delete
+
+**Q11: Upload progress indication - required for v1.2.0?**
+- **Answer:** No, simple form submission is sufficient for v1.2.0
+- **Rationale:** Keep it simple, can enhance in future version
+- **Implementation:** Standard HTML form with enctype="multipart/form-data"
+
+**Q12: Image display order - how to maintain?**
+- **Answer:** Use upload sequence, store display_order in media table
+- **Rationale:** Predictable and simple
+- **Implementation:** Auto-increment display_order starting at 0
+
+**Q13: Thumbnail generation - needed for v1.2.0?**
+- **Answer:** No, use CSS for responsive sizing
+- **Rationale:** Simplicity over optimization for v1
+- **Implementation:** Use `max-width: 100%` and lazy loading
+
+**Q14: Edit form media handling - can users remove media?**
+- **Answer:** Yes, checkbox to mark for deletion
+- **Rationale:** Essential editing capability
+- **Implementation:** "Remove" checkboxes next to each image in edit form
+
+**Q15: Media URL structure - exact format?**
+- **Answer:** `/media/YYYY/MM/filename.ext` (matches storage path)
+- **Rationale:** Clean URLs, date organization visible
+- **Implementation:** Route in `starpunk/routes/public.py` using send_from_directory
+
+## Author Discovery Answers
+
+**Q16: Discovery failure handling - what if profile URL is unreachable?**
+- **Answer:** Use defaults: name from IndieAuth me URL domain, no photo
+- **Rationale:** Always provide something, never break
+- **Implementation:** Try discovery, catch all exceptions, use defaults
+
+**Q17: h-card parsing library - which one?**
+- **Answer:** Use mf2py (already in requirements for Micropub)
+- **Rationale:** Already a dependency, well-maintained
+- **Implementation:** `import mf2py; result = mf2py.parse(url=profile_url)`
+
+**Q18: Multiple h-cards on profile - which to use?**
+- **Answer:** First h-card with url property matching the profile URL
+- **Rationale:** Most specific match per IndieWeb convention
+- **Implementation:** Loop through h-cards, check url property
+
+**Q19: Discovery caching duration - how long?**
+- **Answer:** 24 hours, with manual refresh button in admin
+- **Rationale:** Balance between freshness and performance
+- **Implementation:** Store discovered_at timestamp, check age
+
+**Q20: Profile update mechanism - when to refresh?**
+- **Answer:** On login + manual refresh button + 24hr expiry
+- **Rationale:** Login is natural refresh point
+- **Implementation:** Call discovery in auth callback
+
+**Q21: Missing properties handling - what if no name/photo?**
+- **Answer:** name = domain from URL, photo = None (no image)
+- **Rationale:** Graceful degradation
+- **Implementation:** Use get() with defaults on parsed properties
+
+**Q22: Database schema for author_profile - exact columns?**
+- **Answer:** me_url (PK), name, photo, url, discovered_at, raw_data (JSON)
+- **Rationale:** Cache parsed data + raw for debugging
+- **Implementation:** Single row table, upsert on discovery
+
+## Microformats2 Answers
+
+**Q23: h-card placement - where exactly in templates?**
+- **Answer:** Only within h-entry author property (p-author h-card)
+- **Rationale:** Correct semantic placement per spec
+- **Implementation:** In note partial template, not standalone
+
+**Q24: h-feed container - which pages need it?**
+- **Answer:** Homepage (/) and any paginated list pages
+- **Rationale:** Feed pages only, not single note pages
+- **Implementation:** Wrap note list in div.h-feed with h1.p-name
+
+**Q25: Optional properties - which to include?**
+- **Answer:** Only what we have: author, name, url, published, content
+- **Rationale:** Don't add empty properties
+- **Implementation:** Use conditional template blocks
+
+**Q26: Micropub compatibility - any changes needed?**
+- **Answer:** No, Micropub already handles microformats correctly
+- **Rationale:** Micropub creates data, templates display it
+- **Implementation:** Ensure templates match Micropub's data model
+
+## Feed Integration Answers
+
+**Q27: RSS/Atom changes for media - how to include images?**
+- **Answer:** Add as enclosures (RSS) and link rel="enclosure" (Atom)
+- **Rationale:** Standard podcast/media pattern
+- **Implementation:** Loop through note.media, add enclosure elements
+
+**Q28: JSON Feed media handling - which property?**
+- **Answer:** Use "attachments" array per JSON Feed 1.1 spec
+- **Rationale:** Designed for exactly this use case
+- **Implementation:** Create attachment objects with url, mime_type
+
+**Q29: Feed caching - any changes needed?**
+- **Answer:** No, existing cache logic is sufficient
+- **Rationale:** Media URLs are stable once uploaded
+- **Implementation:** No changes required
+
+**Q30: Author in feeds - use discovered data?**
+- **Answer:** Yes, use discovered name and photo in feed metadata
+- **Rationale:** Consistency across all outputs
+- **Implementation:** Pass author_profile to feed templates
+
+## Database Migration Answers
+
+**Q31: Migration naming convention - what number?**
+- **Answer:** Use next sequential: 005_add_media_support.sql
+- **Rationale:** Continue existing pattern
+- **Implementation:** Check latest migration, increment
+
+**Q32: Migration rollback - needed?**
+- **Answer:** No, forward-only migrations per project convention
+- **Rationale:** Simplicity, follows existing pattern
+- **Implementation:** CREATE IF NOT EXISTS, never DROP
+
+**Q33: Migration testing - how to verify?**
+- **Answer:** Test on copy of production database
+- **Rationale:** Real-world data is best test
+- **Implementation:** Copy data/starpunk.db, run migration, verify
+
+## Testing Strategy Answers
+
+**Q34: Test data for media - what to use?**
+- **Answer:** Generate 1x1 pixel PNG in tests, don't use real files
+- **Rationale:** Minimal, fast, no binary files in repo
+- **Implementation:** Use Pillow to generate test images in memory
+
+**Q35: Author discovery mocking - how to test?**
+- **Answer:** Mock HTTP responses with test h-card HTML
+- **Rationale:** Deterministic, no external dependencies
+- **Implementation:** Use responses library or unittest.mock
+
+**Q36: Integration test priority - which are critical?**
+- **Answer:** Upload → Display → Edit → Delete flow
+- **Rationale:** Core user journey must work
+- **Implementation:** Single test that exercises full lifecycle
+
+## Error Handling Answers
+
+**Q37: Upload failure recovery - how to handle?**
+- **Answer:** Show error, preserve form data, allow retry
+- **Rationale:** Don't lose user's work
+- **Implementation:** Flash error, return to form with content preserved
+
+**Q38: Discovery network timeout - how long to wait?**
+- **Answer:** 5 second timeout for profile fetch
+- **Rationale:** Balance between patience and responsiveness
+- **Implementation:** Use requests timeout parameter
+
+## Deployment Answers
+
+**Q39: Media directory permissions - what's needed?**
+- **Answer:** data/media/ needs write permission for app user
+- **Rationale:** Same as existing data/ directory
+- **Implementation:** Document in deployment guide, create in setup
+
+**Q40: Upgrade path from v1.1.2 - any special steps?**
+- **Answer:** Run migration, create media directory, restart app
+- **Rationale:** Minimal disruption
+- **Implementation:** Add to CHANGELOG upgrade notes
+
+**Q41: Configuration changes - any new env vars?**
+- **Answer:** No, all settings have sensible defaults
+- **Rationale:** Maintain zero-config philosophy
+- **Implementation:** Hardcode limits in code with constants
+
+## Critical Path Decisions Summary
+
+These are the key decisions to unblock implementation:
+
+1. **Media upload flow**: Upload after note creation, associate via note_id
+2. **Author discovery**: Use mf2py, cache for 24hrs, graceful fallbacks
+3. **h-card parsing**: First h-card with matching URL property
+4. **h-card placement**: Only within h-entry as p-author
+5. **Migration strategy**: Sequential numbering (005), forward-only
+
+## Implementation Order
+
+Based on dependencies and complexity:
+
+### Phase 1: Custom Slugs (2 hours)
+- Simplest feature
+- No database changes
+- Template and validation only
+
+### Phase 2: Author Discovery (4 hours)
+- Build discovery module
+- Add author_profile table
+- Integrate with auth flow
+- Update templates
+
+### Phase 3: Media Upload (6 hours)
+- Most complex feature
+- Media table and migration
+- Upload handling
+- Template updates
+- Storage management
+
+## File Structure
+
+Key files to create/modify:
+
+### New Files
+- `starpunk/discovery.py` - Author discovery module
+- `starpunk/media.py` - Media handling module
+- `migrations/005_add_media_support.sql` - Database changes
+- `static/js/media-upload.js` - Optional enhancement

+# v1.2.0 Feature Specification
+
+## Overview
+
+Version 1.2.0 focuses on three essential improvements to the StarPunk web interface:
+1. Custom slug support in the web UI
+2. Media upload capability (web UI only, not Micropub)
+3. Complete Microformats2 implementation
+
+## Feature 1: Custom Slugs in Web UI
+
+### Current State
+- Slugs are auto-generated from the first line of content
+- Custom slugs only possible via Micropub API (mp-slug property)
+- Web UI has no option to specify custom slugs
+
+### Requirements
+- Add optional "Slug" field to note creation form
+- Validate slug format (URL-safe, unique)
+- If empty, fall back to auto-generation
+- Support custom slugs in edit form as well
+
+### Design Specification
+
+#### Form Updates
+Location: `templates/admin/new.html` and `templates/admin/edit.html`
+
+Add new form field:
+```html
+<div class="form-group">
+  <label for="slug">Custom Slug (Optional)</label>
+  <input
+    type="text"
+    id="slug"
+    name="slug"
+    pattern="[a-z0-9-]+"
+    maxlength="200"
+    placeholder="leave-blank-for-auto-generation"
+    {% if editing %}readonly{% endif %}
+  >
+  <small>URL-safe characters only (lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens)</small>
+  {% if editing %}
+  <small class="text-warning">Slugs cannot be changed after creation to preserve permalinks</small>
+  {% endif %}
+</div>
+```
+
+#### Backend Changes
+Location: `starpunk/routes/admin.py`
+
+Modify `create_note_submit()`:
+- Extract slug from form data
+- Pass to `create_note()` as `custom_slug` parameter
+- Handle validation errors
+
+Modify `edit_note_submit()`:
+- Display current slug as read-only
+- Do NOT allow slug updates (prevent broken permalinks)
+
+#### Validation Rules
+- Must be URL-safe: `^[a-z0-9-]+$`
+- Maximum length: 200 characters
+- Must be unique (database constraint)
+- Empty string = auto-generate
+- **Read-only after creation** (no editing allowed)
+
+### Acceptance Criteria
+- [ ] Slug field appears in create note form
+- [ ] Slug field appears in edit note form
+- [ ] Custom slugs are validated for format
+- [ ] Custom slugs are validated for uniqueness
+- [ ] Empty field triggers auto-generation
+- [ ] Error messages are user-friendly
+
+---
+
+## Feature 2: Media Upload (Web UI Only)
+
+### Current State
+- No media upload capability
+- Notes are text/markdown only
+- No file storage infrastructure
+
+### Requirements
+- Upload images when creating/editing notes
+- Store uploaded files locally
+- Display media at top of note (social media style)
+- Support multiple media per note
+- Basic file validation
+- NOT implementing Micropub media endpoint (future version)
+
+### Design Specification
+
+#### Conceptual Model
+Media attachments work like social media posts (Twitter, Mastodon, etc.):
+- Media is displayed at the TOP of the note when published
+- Text content appears BELOW the media
+- Multiple images can be attached to a single note (maximum 4)
+- Media is stored as attachments, not inline markdown
+- Display order is upload order (no reordering interface)
+- Each image can have an optional caption for accessibility
+
+#### Storage Architecture
+```
+data/
+  media/
+    2025/
+      01/
+        image-slug-12345.jpg
+        another-image-67890.png
+```
+
+URL Structure: `/media/2025/01/filename.jpg` (date-organized paths)
+
+#### Database Schema
+
+**Option A: Junction Table (RECOMMENDED)**
+```sql
+-- Media files table
+CREATE TABLE media (
+    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
+    filename TEXT NOT NULL,
+    original_name TEXT NOT NULL,
+    path TEXT NOT NULL UNIQUE,
+    mime_type TEXT NOT NULL,
+    size INTEGER NOT NULL,
+    width INTEGER,  -- Image dimensions for responsive display
+    height INTEGER,
+    uploaded_at DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
+);
+
+-- Note-media relationship table
+CREATE TABLE note_media (
+    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
+    note_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
+    media_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
+    display_order INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
+    caption TEXT,  -- Optional alt text/caption
+    created_at DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
+    FOREIGN KEY (note_id) REFERENCES notes(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+    FOREIGN KEY (media_id) REFERENCES media(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+    UNIQUE(note_id, media_id)
+);
+
+CREATE INDEX idx_note_media_note ON note_media(note_id);
+CREATE INDEX idx_note_media_order ON note_media(note_id, display_order);
+```
+
+**Rationale**: Junction table provides flexibility for:
+- Multiple media per note with ordering
+- Reusing media across notes (future)
+- Per-attachment metadata (captions)
+- Efficient queries for syndication feeds
+
+#### Display Strategy
+
+**Note Rendering**:
+```html
+<article class="note">
+  <!-- Media displayed first -->
+  {% if note.media %}
+  <div class="media-attachments">
+    {% if note.media|length == 1 %}
+      <!-- Single image: full width -->
+      <img src="{{ media.url }}" alt="{{ media.caption or '' }}" class="single-image">
+    {% elif note.media|length == 2 %}
+      <!-- Two images: side by side -->
+      <div class="media-grid media-grid-2">
+        {% for media in note.media %}
+        <img src="{{ media.url }}" alt="{{ media.caption or '' }}">
+        {% endfor %}
+      </div>
+    {% else %}
+      <!-- 3-4 images: grid layout -->
+      <div class="media-grid media-grid-{{ note.media|length }}">
+        {% for media in note.media[:4] %}
+        <img src="{{ media.url }}" alt="{{ media.caption or '' }}">
+        {% endfor %}
+      </div>
+    {% endif %}
+  </div>
+  {% endif %}
+
+  <!-- Text content displayed below media -->
+  <div class="content">
+    {{ note.html|safe }}
+  </div>
+</article>
+```
+
+#### Upload Flow
+1. User selects multiple files via HTML file input
+2. Files validated (type, size)
+3. Files saved to `data/media/YYYY/MM/` with generated names
+4. Database records created in `media` table
+5. Associations created in `note_media` table
+6. Media displayed as thumbnails below textarea
+7. User can remove or reorder attachments
+
+#### Form Updates
+Location: `templates/admin/new.html` and `templates/admin/edit.html`
+
+```html
+<div class="form-group">
+  <label for="media">Attach Images</label>
+  <input
+    type="file"
+    id="media"
+    name="media"
+    accept="image/*"
+    multiple
+    class="media-upload"
+  >
+  <small>Accepted formats: JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP (max 10MB each, max 4 images)</small>
+
+  <!-- Preview attached media with captions -->
+  <div id="media-preview" class="media-preview">
+    <!-- Thumbnails appear here after upload with caption fields -->
+  </div>
+</div>
+
+<script>
+// Handle media as attachments, not inline insertion
+document.getElementById('media').addEventListener('change', async (e) => {
+  const preview = document.getElementById('media-preview');
+  const files = Array.from(e.target.files).slice(0, 4); // Max 4
+
+  for (const file of files) {
+    // Upload and show thumbnail
+    const url = await uploadMedia(file);
+    addMediaThumbnail(preview, url, file.name);
+  }
+});
+
+function addMediaThumbnail(container, url, filename) {
+  const thumb = document.createElement('div');
+  thumb.className = 'media-thumb';
+  thumb.innerHTML = `
+    <img src="${url}" alt="${filename}">
+    <input type="text" name="caption[]" placeholder="Caption (optional)" class="media-caption">
+    <button type="button" class="remove-media" data-url="${url}">×</button>
+    <input type="hidden" name="attached_media[]" value="${url}">
+  `;
+  container.appendChild(thumb);
+}
+</script>
+```
+
+#### Backend Implementation
+Location: New module `starpunk/media.py`
+
+Key functions:
+- `validate_media_file(file)` - Check type, size (max 10MB), dimensions (max 4096x4096)
+- `optimize_image(file)` - Resize if >2048px, correct EXIF orientation (using Pillow)
+- `save_media_file(file)` - Store optimized version to disk with date-based path
+- `generate_media_url(filename)` - Create public URL
+- `track_media_upload(metadata)` - Save to database
+- `attach_media_to_note(note_id, media_ids, captions)` - Create note-media associations with captions
+- `get_media_by_note(note_id)` - List media for a note ordered by display_order
+- `extract_image_dimensions(file)` - Get width/height for storage
+
+Image Processing with Pillow:
+```python
+from PIL import Image, ImageOps
+
+def optimize_image(file_obj):
+    """Optimize image for web display."""
+    img = Image.open(file_obj)
+
+    # Correct EXIF orientation
+    img = ImageOps.exif_transpose(img)
+
+    # Check dimensions
+    if max(img.size) > 4096:
+        raise ValueError("Image dimensions exceed 4096x4096")
+
+    # Resize if needed (preserve aspect ratio)
+    if max(img.size) > 2048:
+        img.thumbnail((2048, 2048), Image.Resampling.LANCZOS)
+
+    return img
+```
+
+#### Routes
+Location: `starpunk/routes/public.py`
+
+Add route to serve media:
+```python
+@bp.route('/media/<year>/<month>/<filename>')
+def serve_media(year, month, filename):
+    # Serve file from data/media/YYYY/MM/
+    # Set appropriate cache headers
+```
+
+Location: `starpunk/routes/admin.py`
+
+Add upload endpoint:
+```python
+@bp.route('/admin/upload', methods=['POST'])
+@require_auth
+def upload_media():
+    # Handle AJAX upload, return JSON with URL and media_id
+    # Store in media table, return metadata
+```
+
+#### Syndication Feed Support
+
+**RSS 2.0 Strategy**:
+```xml
+<!-- Embed media as HTML in description with CDATA -->
+<item>
+  <title>Note Title</title>
+  <description><![CDATA[
+    <div class="media">
+      <img src="https://site.com/media/2025/01/image1.jpg" />
+      <img src="https://site.com/media/2025/01/image2.jpg" />
+    </div>
+    <div class="content">
+      <p>Note text content here...</p>
+    </div>
+  ]]></description>
+  <pubDate>...</pubDate>
+</item>
+```
+Rationale: RSS `<enclosure>` only supports single items and is meant for podcasts/downloads. HTML in description is standard for blog posts with images.
+
+**ATOM 1.0 Strategy**:
+```xml
+<!-- Multiple link elements with rel="enclosure" for each media item -->
+<entry>
+  <title>Note Title</title>
+  <link rel="enclosure"
+        type="image/jpeg"
+        href="https://site.com/media/2025/01/image1.jpg"
+        length="123456" />
+  <link rel="enclosure"
+        type="image/jpeg"
+        href="https://site.com/media/2025/01/image2.jpg"
+        length="234567" />
+  <content type="html">
+    &lt;div class="media"&gt;
+      &lt;img src="https://site.com/media/2025/01/image1.jpg" /&gt;
+      &lt;img src="https://site.com/media/2025/01/image2.jpg" /&gt;
+    &lt;/div&gt;
+    &lt;div&gt;Note text content...&lt;/div&gt;
+  </content>
+</entry>
+```
+Rationale: ATOM supports multiple `<link rel="enclosure">` elements. We include both enclosures (for feed readers that understand them) AND HTML content (for universal display).
+
+**JSON Feed 1.1 Strategy**:
+```json
+{
+  "id": "...",
+  "title": "Note Title",
+  "content_html": "<div class='media'>...</div><div>Note text...</div>",
+  "attachments": [
+    {
+      "url": "https://site.com/media/2025/01/image1.jpg",
+      "mime_type": "image/jpeg",
+      "size_in_bytes": 123456
+    },
+    {
+      "url": "https://site.com/media/2025/01/image2.jpg",
+      "mime_type": "image/jpeg",
+      "size_in_bytes": 234567
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+Rationale: JSON Feed has native support for multiple attachments! This is the cleanest implementation.
+
+**Feed Generation Updates**:
+- Modify `generate_rss()` to prepend media HTML to content
+- Modify `generate_atom()` to add `<link rel="enclosure">` elements
+- Modify `generate_json_feed()` to populate `attachments` array
+- Query `note_media` JOIN `media` when generating feeds
+
+#### Security Considerations
+- Validate MIME types server-side (JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP only)
+- Reject files over 10MB (before processing)
+- Limit total uploads (4 images max per note)
+- Sanitize filenames (remove special characters, use slugify)
+- Prevent directory traversal attacks
+- Add rate limiting to upload endpoint
+- Validate image dimensions (max 4096x4096, reject if larger)
+- Use Pillow to verify file integrity (corrupted files will fail to open)
+- Resize images over 2048px to prevent memory issues
+- Strip potentially harmful EXIF data during optimization
+
+### Acceptance Criteria
+- [ ] Multiple file upload field in create/edit forms
+- [ ] Images saved to data/media/ directory after optimization
+- [ ] Media-note associations tracked in database with captions
+- [ ] Media displayed at TOP of notes
+- [ ] Text content displayed BELOW media
+- [ ] Media served at /media/YYYY/MM/filename
+- [ ] File type validation (JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP only)
+- [ ] File size validation (10MB max, checked before processing)
+- [ ] Image dimension validation (4096x4096 max)
+- [ ] Automatic resize for images over 2048px
+- [ ] EXIF orientation correction during processing
+- [ ] Max 4 images per note enforced
+- [ ] Caption field for each uploaded image
+- [ ] Captions used as alt text in HTML
+- [ ] Media appears in RSS feeds (HTML in description)
+- [ ] Media appears in ATOM feeds (enclosures + HTML)
+- [ ] Media appears in JSON feeds (attachments array)
+- [ ] User can remove attached images
+- [ ] Display order matches upload order (no reordering UI)
+- [ ] Error handling for invalid/oversized/corrupted files

+
+## Feature 3: Complete Microformats2 Support
+
+### Current State
+- Basic h-entry on note pages
+- Basic h-feed on index
+- Missing h-card (author info)
+- Missing many microformats properties
+- No rel=me links
+
+### Requirements
+Full compliance with Microformats2 specification:
+- Complete h-entry implementation
+- Author h-card on all pages
+- Proper h-feed structure
+- rel=me for identity verification
+- All relevant properties marked up
+
+### Design Specification
+
+#### Author Discovery System
+When a user authenticates via IndieAuth, we discover their author information from their profile URL:
+
+1. **Discovery Process** (runs during login):
+   - User logs in with IndieAuth using their domain (e.g., https://user.example.com)
+   - System fetches the user's profile page
+   - Parses h-card microformats from the profile
+   - Extracts: name, photo, bio/note, rel-me links
+   - Caches author info in database (new `author_profile` table)
+
+2. **Database Schema** for Author Profile:
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE author_profile (
+    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
+    me_url TEXT NOT NULL UNIQUE,  -- The IndieAuth 'me' URL
+    name TEXT,                     -- From h-card p-name
+    photo TEXT,                    -- From h-card u-photo
+    bio TEXT,                      -- From h-card p-note
+    rel_me_links TEXT,             -- JSON array of rel-me URLs
+    discovered_at DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
+    updated_at DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
+);
+```
+
+3. **Caching Strategy**:
+   - Cache on first login
+   - Refresh on each login (but use cache if discovery fails)
+   - Manual refresh button in admin settings
+   - Cache expires after 7 days (configurable)
+
+4. **Fallback Behavior**:
+   - If discovery fails, use cached data if available
+   - If no cache and discovery fails, use minimal defaults:
+     - Name: Domain name (e.g., "user.example.com")
+     - Photo: None (gracefully degrade)
+     - Bio: None
+   - Log discovery failures for debugging
+
+#### h-card (Author Information)
+Location: `templates/partials/author.html` (new)
+
+Required properties from discovered profile:
+- p-name (author name from discovery)
+- u-url (author URL from ADMIN_ME)
+- u-photo (avatar from discovery, optional)
+
+```html
+<div class="h-card">
+  <a class="p-name u-url" href="{{ author.me_url }}">
+    {{ author.name or author.me_url }}
+  </a>
+  {% if author.photo %}
+  <img class="u-photo" src="{{ author.photo }}" alt="{{ author.name }}">
+  {% endif %}
+  {% if author.bio %}
+  <p class="p-note">{{ author.bio }}</p>
+  {% endif %}
+</div>
+```
+
+#### Enhanced h-entry
+Location: `templates/note.html`
+
+Complete properties with discovered author and media support:
+- p-name (note title, if exists)
+- e-content (note content)
+- dt-published (creation date)
+- dt-updated (modification date)
+- u-url (permalink)
+- p-author (nested h-card with discovered info)
+- u-uid (unique identifier)
+- u-photo (multiple for multi-photo posts)
+- p-category (tags, future)
+
+```html
+<article class="h-entry">
+  <!-- Multiple u-photo for multi-photo posts (social media style) -->
+  {% if note.media %}
+    {% for media in note.media %}
+    <img class="u-photo" src="{{ media.url }}" alt="{{ media.caption or '' }}">
+    {% endfor %}
+  {% endif %}
+
+  <!-- Text content -->
+  <div class="e-content">
+    {{ note.html|safe }}
+  </div>
+
+  <!-- Title only if exists (most notes won't have titles) -->
+  {% if note.has_explicit_title %}
+  <h1 class="p-name">{{ note.title }}</h1>
+  {% endif %}
+
+  <footer>
+    <a class="u-url u-uid" href="{{ url }}">
+      <time class="dt-published" datetime="{{ iso_date }}">
+        {{ formatted_date }}
+      </time>
+    </a>
+
+    {% if note.updated_at %}
+    <time class="dt-updated" datetime="{{ updated_iso }}">
+      Updated: {{ updated_formatted }}
+    </time>
+    {% endif %}
+
+    <!-- Author h-card only within h-entry -->
+    <div class="p-author h-card">
+      <a class="p-name u-url" href="{{ author.me_url }}">
+        {{ author.name or author.me_url }}
+      </a>
+      {% if author.photo %}
+      <img class="u-photo" src="{{ author.photo }}" alt="{{ author.name }}">
+      {% endif %}
+    </div>
+  </footer>
+</article>
+```
+
+**Multi-photo Implementation Notes**:
+- Multiple `u-photo` elements indicate a multi-photo post (like Instagram, Twitter)
+- Photos are considered primary content when present
+- Consuming applications (like Bridgy) will respect platform limits (e.g., Twitter's 4-photo max)
+- Photos appear BEFORE text content, matching social media conventions
+
+#### Enhanced h-feed
+Location: `templates/index.html`
+
+Required structure:
+- h-feed container
+- p-name (feed title)
+- p-author (feed author)
+- Multiple h-entry children
+
+#### rel=me Links
+Location: `templates/base.html`
+
+Add to <head> using discovered rel-me links:
+```html
+{% if author.rel_me_links %}
+  {% for profile in author.rel_me_links %}
+  <link rel="me" href="{{ profile }}">
+  {% endfor %}
+{% endif %}
+```
+
+#### Discovery Module
+Location: New module `starpunk/author_discovery.py`
+
+Key functions:
+- `discover_author_info(me_url)` - Fetch and parse h-card from profile
+- `parse_hcard(html, url)` - Extract h-card properties
+- `parse_rel_me(html, url)` - Extract rel-me links
+- `cache_author_profile(profile_data)` - Store in database
+- `get_cached_author(me_url)` - Retrieve from cache
+- `refresh_author_profile(me_url)` - Force refresh
+
+Integration points:
+- Called during IndieAuth login success in `auth_external.py`
+- Admin settings page for manual refresh (`/admin/settings`)
+- Template context processor to inject author data globally
+
+#### Microformats Parsing
+Use existing library for parsing:
+- Option 1: `mf2py` - Python microformats2 parser
+- Option 2: Custom minimal parser (lighter weight)
+
+Parse these specific properties:
+- h-card properties: name, photo, url, note, email
+- rel-me links for identity verification
+- Store as JSON in database for flexibility
+
+### Testing & Validation
+
+Use these tools to validate:
+1. https://indiewebify.me/ - Complete IndieWeb validation
+2. https://microformats.io/ - Microformats parser
+3. https://search.google.com/test/rich-results - Google's structured data test
+
+### Acceptance Criteria
+- [ ] Author info discovered from IndieAuth profile URL
+- [ ] h-card present within h-entries only (not standalone)
+- [ ] h-entry has all required properties
+- [ ] h-feed properly structures the homepage
+- [ ] rel=me links in HTML head (from discovery)
+- [ ] Passes indiewebify.me Level 2 tests
+- [ ] Parsed correctly by microformats.io
+- [ ] Graceful fallback when discovery fails
+- [ ] Author profile cached in database
+- [ ] Manual refresh option in admin
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Order
+
+Recommended implementation sequence:
+
+1. **Custom Slugs** (simplest, least dependencies)
+   - Modify forms
+   - Update backend
+   - Test uniqueness
+
+2. **Microformats2** (template-only changes)
+   - Add h-card partial
+   - Enhance h-entry
+   - Add rel=me links
+   - Validate with tools
+
+3. **Media Upload** (most complex)
+   - Create media module
+   - Add upload forms
+   - Implement storage
+   - Add serving route
+
+---
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+The following are explicitly NOT included in v1.2.0:
+
+- Micropub media endpoint
+- Video upload support
+- Thumbnail generation (separate from main image)
+- CDN integration
+- Media gallery interface
+- Webmention support
+- Multi-user support
+- Self-hosted IndieAuth (see ADR-056)
+
+---
+
+## Database Schema Changes
+
+Required schema changes for v1.2.0:
+
+### 1. Media Tables
+```sql
+-- Media files table
+CREATE TABLE media (
+    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
+    filename TEXT NOT NULL,
+    original_name TEXT NOT NULL,
+    path TEXT NOT NULL UNIQUE,
+    mime_type TEXT NOT NULL,
+    size INTEGER NOT NULL,
+    width INTEGER,  -- Image dimensions
+    height INTEGER,
+    uploaded_at DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
+);
+
+-- Note-media relationship table
+CREATE TABLE note_media (
+    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
+    note_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
+    media_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
+    display_order INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
+    caption TEXT,  -- Optional alt text/caption
+    created_at DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
+    FOREIGN KEY (note_id) REFERENCES notes(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+    FOREIGN KEY (media_id) REFERENCES media(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+    UNIQUE(note_id, media_id)
+);
+
+CREATE INDEX idx_note_media_note ON note_media(note_id);
+CREATE INDEX idx_note_media_order ON note_media(note_id, display_order);
+```
+
+### 2. Author Profile Table
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE author_profile (
+    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
+    me_url TEXT NOT NULL UNIQUE,
+    name TEXT,
+    photo TEXT,
+    bio TEXT,
+    rel_me_links TEXT,  -- JSON array
+    discovered_at DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
+    updated_at DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
+);
+```
+
+### 3. No Changes Required For:
+- Custom slugs: Already supported via existing `slug` column
+
+---
+
+## Configuration Changes
+
+New configuration variables:
+```
+# Media settings
+MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE=10485760  # 10MB in bytes
+ALLOWED_MEDIA_TYPES=image/jpeg,image/png,image/gif,image/webp
+MEDIA_PATH=data/media  # Storage location
+
+# Author discovery settings
+AUTHOR_CACHE_TTL=604800  # 7 days in seconds
+AUTHOR_DISCOVERY_TIMEOUT=5.0  # HTTP timeout for profile fetch
+```
+
+Note: Author information is NOT configured via environment variables. It is discovered from the authenticated user's IndieAuth profile URL.
+
+---
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **File Upload Security**
+   - Validate MIME types
+   - Check file extensions
+   - Limit file sizes
+   - Sanitize filenames
+   - Store outside web root if possible
+
+2. **Slug Validation**
+   - Prevent directory traversal
+   - Enforce URL-safe characters
+   - Check uniqueness
+
+3. **Microformats**
+   - No security implications
+   - Ensure proper HTML escaping continues
+
+---
+
+## Testing Requirements
+
+### Unit Tests
+- Slug validation logic
+- Media file validation
+- Unique filename generation
+
+### Integration Tests
+- Custom slug creation flow
+- Media upload and serving
+- Microformats parsing
+
+### Manual Testing
+- Upload various image formats
+- Try invalid slugs
+- Validate microformats output
+- Test with screen readers
+
+---
+
+## Additional Design Considerations
+
+### Media Upload Details
+1. **Social Media Model**: Media works like Twitter/Mastodon posts
+   - Media displays at TOP of note
+   - Text appears BELOW media
+   - Multiple images supported (max 4)
+   - No inline markdown images (attachments only)
+   - Display order is upload order (no reordering)
+
+2. **File Type Restrictions**:
+   - Accept: image/jpeg, image/png, image/gif, image/webp
+   - Reject: SVG (security), video formats (v1.2.0 scope)
+   - Validate MIME type server-side, not just extension
+
+3. **Image Processing** (using Pillow):
+   - Automatic resize if >2048px (longest edge)
+   - EXIF orientation correction
+   - File integrity validation
+   - Preserve aspect ratio
+   - Quality setting: 95 (high quality)
+   - No separate thumbnail generation
+
+4. **Display Layout**:
+   - 1 image: Full width
+   - 2 images: Side by side (50% each)
+   - 3 images: Grid (1 large + 2 small, or equal grid)
+   - 4 images: 2x2 grid
+
+5. **Image Limits** (per ADR-058):
+   - Max file size: 10MB per image
+   - Max dimensions: 4096x4096 pixels
+   - Auto-resize threshold: 2048 pixels (longest edge)
+   - Max images per note: 4
+
+6. **Accessibility Features**:
+   - Optional caption field for each image
+   - Captions stored in `note_media.caption`
+   - Used as alt text in HTML output
+   - Included in syndication feeds
+
+7. **Database Design Rationale**:
+   - Junction table allows flexible ordering
+   - Supports future media reuse across notes
+   - Per-attachment captions for accessibility
+   - Efficient queries for feed generation
+
+8. **Feed Syndication Strategy**:
+   - RSS: HTML with images in description (universal support)
+   - ATOM: Both enclosures AND HTML content (best compatibility)
+   - JSON Feed: Native attachments array (cleanest implementation)
+
+### Slug Handling
+1. **Absolute No-Edit Policy**: Once created, slugs are immutable
+   - No admin override
+   - No database updates allowed
+   - Prevents broken permalinks completely
+
+2. **Validation Pattern**: `^[a-z0-9-]+$`
+   - Lowercase only for consistency
+   - No underscores (hyphens preferred)
+   - No special characters
+
+### Author Discovery Edge Cases
+1. **Multiple h-cards on Profile**:
+   - Use first representative h-card (class="h-card" on body or first found)
+   - Log if multiple found for debugging
+
+2. **Missing Properties**:
+   - Name: Falls back to domain
+   - Photo: Omit if not found
+   - Bio: Omit if not found
+   - All properties are optional except URL
+
+3. **Network Failures**:
+   - Use cached data even if expired
+   - Log failure for monitoring
+   - Never block login due to discovery failure
+
+4. **Invalid Markup**:
+   - Best-effort parsing
+   - Log parsing errors
+   - Use whatever can be extracted
+
+## Success Metrics
+
+v1.2.0 is successful when:
+1. Users can specify custom slugs via web UI (immutable after creation)
+2. Users can upload images via web UI with auto-insertion
+3. Author info discovered from IndieAuth profile
+4. Site passes IndieWebify.me Level 2
+5. All existing tests continue to pass
+6. No regression in existing functionality
+7. Media tracked in database with metadata
+8. Graceful handling of discovery failures

+# Media Upload Implementation Guide
+
+## Overview
+This guide provides implementation details for the v1.2.0 media upload feature based on the finalized design.
+
+## Key Design Decisions
+
+### Image Limits (per ADR-058)
+- **Max file size**: 10MB per image (reject before processing)
+- **Max dimensions**: 4096x4096 pixels (reject if larger)
+- **Auto-resize threshold**: 2048 pixels on longest edge
+- **Max images per note**: 4
+- **Accepted formats**: JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP only
+
+### Features
+- **Caption support**: Each image has optional caption field
+- **No reordering**: Display order matches upload order
+- **Auto-optimization**: Images >2048px automatically resized
+- **EXIF correction**: Orientation fixed during processing
+
+## Implementation Approach
+
+### 1. Dependencies
+Add to `pyproject.toml`:
+```toml
+dependencies = [
+    # ... existing dependencies
+    "Pillow>=10.0.0",  # Image processing
+]
+```
+
+### 2. Image Processing Module Structure
+Create `starpunk/media.py`:
+
+```python
+from PIL import Image, ImageOps
+import hashlib
+import os
+from pathlib import Path
+from datetime import datetime
+
+class MediaProcessor:
+    MAX_FILE_SIZE = 10 * 1024 * 1024  # 10MB
+    MAX_DIMENSIONS = 4096
+    RESIZE_THRESHOLD = 2048
+    ALLOWED_MIMES = {
+        'image/jpeg': '.jpg',
+        'image/png': '.png',
+        'image/gif': '.gif',
+        'image/webp': '.webp'
+    }
+
+    def validate_file_size(self, file_obj):
+        """Check file size before processing."""
+        file_obj.seek(0, os.SEEK_END)
+        size = file_obj.tell()
+        file_obj.seek(0)
+
+        if size > self.MAX_FILE_SIZE:
+            raise ValueError(f"File too large: {size} bytes (max {self.MAX_FILE_SIZE})")
+
+        return size
+
+    def optimize_image(self, file_obj):
+        """Optimize image for web display."""
+        # Open and validate
+        try:
+            img = Image.open(file_obj)
+        except Exception as e:
+            raise ValueError(f"Invalid or corrupted image: {e}")
+
+        # Correct EXIF orientation
+        img = ImageOps.exif_transpose(img)
+
+        # Check dimensions
+        width, height = img.size
+        if max(width, height) > self.MAX_DIMENSIONS:
+            raise ValueError(f"Image too large: {width}x{height} (max {self.MAX_DIMENSIONS})")
+
+        # Resize if needed
+        if max(width, height) > self.RESIZE_THRESHOLD:
+            img.thumbnail((self.RESIZE_THRESHOLD, self.RESIZE_THRESHOLD),
+                         Image.Resampling.LANCZOS)
+
+        return img
+
+    def generate_filename(self, original_name, content):
+        """Generate unique filename with date path."""
+        # Create hash for uniqueness
+        hash_obj = hashlib.sha256(content)
+        hash_hex = hash_obj.hexdigest()[:8]
+
+        # Get extension
+        _, ext = os.path.splitext(original_name)
+
+        # Generate date-based path
+        now = datetime.now()
+        year = now.strftime('%Y')
+        month = now.strftime('%m')
+
+        # Create filename
+        filename = f"{now.strftime('%Y%m%d')}-{hash_hex}{ext}"
+
+        return f"{year}/{month}/{filename}"
+```
+
+### 3. Database Migration
+Create migration for media tables:
+
+```sql
+-- Create media table
+CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS media (
+    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
+    filename TEXT NOT NULL,
+    original_name TEXT NOT NULL,
+    path TEXT NOT NULL UNIQUE,
+    mime_type TEXT NOT NULL,
+    size INTEGER NOT NULL,
+    width INTEGER,
+    height INTEGER,
+    uploaded_at DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
+);
+
+-- Create note_media junction table with caption support
+CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS note_media (
+    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
+    note_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
+    media_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
+    display_order INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
+    caption TEXT,  -- Optional caption for accessibility
+    created_at DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
+    FOREIGN KEY (note_id) REFERENCES notes(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+    FOREIGN KEY (media_id) REFERENCES media(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+    UNIQUE(note_id, media_id)
+);
+
+-- Create indexes
+CREATE INDEX idx_note_media_note ON note_media(note_id);
+CREATE INDEX idx_note_media_order ON note_media(note_id, display_order);
+```
+
+### 4. Upload Endpoint
+In `starpunk/routes/admin.py`:
+
+```python
+@bp.route('/admin/upload', methods=['POST'])
+@require_auth
+def upload_media():
+    """Handle AJAX media upload."""
+    if 'file' not in request.files:
+        return jsonify({'error': 'No file provided'}), 400
+
+    file = request.files['file']
+
+    try:
+        # Process with MediaProcessor
+        processor = MediaProcessor()
+
+        # Validate size first (before loading image)
+        size = processor.validate_file_size(file.file)
+
+        # Optimize image
+        optimized = processor.optimize_image(file.file)
+
+        # Generate path
+        path = processor.generate_filename(file.filename, file.read())
+
+        # Save to disk
+        save_path = Path(app.config['MEDIA_PATH']) / path
+        save_path.parent.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
+        optimized.save(save_path, quality=95, optimize=True)
+
+        # Save to database
+        media_id = save_media_metadata(
+            filename=path.name,
+            original_name=file.filename,
+            path=path,
+            mime_type=file.content_type,
+            size=save_path.stat().st_size,
+            width=optimized.width,
+            height=optimized.height
+        )
+
+        # Return success
+        return jsonify({
+            'success': True,
+            'media_id': media_id,
+            'url': f'/media/{path}'
+        })
+
+    except ValueError as e:
+        return jsonify({'error': str(e)}), 400
+    except Exception as e:
+        app.logger.error(f"Upload failed: {e}")
+        return jsonify({'error': 'Upload failed'}), 500
+```
+
+### 5. Template Updates
+Update note creation/edit forms to include:
+- Multiple file input with accept attribute
+- Caption fields for each uploaded image
+- Client-side preview with caption inputs
+- Remove button for each image
+- Hidden fields to track attached media IDs
+
+### 6. Display Implementation
+When rendering notes:
+1. Query `note_media` JOIN `media` ordered by `display_order`
+2. Display images at top of note
+3. Use captions as alt text
+4. Apply responsive grid layout CSS
+
+## Testing Checklist
+
+### Unit Tests
+- [ ] File size validation (reject >10MB)
+- [ ] Dimension validation (reject >4096px)
+- [ ] MIME type validation (accept only JPEG/PNG/GIF/WebP)
+- [ ] Image resize logic (>2048px gets resized)
+- [ ] Filename generation (unique, date-based)
+- [ ] EXIF orientation correction
+
+### Integration Tests
+- [ ] Upload single image
+- [ ] Upload multiple images (up to 4)
+- [ ] Reject 5th image
+- [ ] Upload with captions
+- [ ] Delete uploaded image
+- [ ] Edit note with existing media
+- [ ] Corrupted file handling
+- [ ] Oversized file handling
+
+### Manual Testing
+- [ ] Upload from phone camera
+- [ ] Upload screenshots
+- [ ] Test all supported formats
+- [ ] Verify captions appear as alt text
+- [ ] Check responsive layouts (1-4 images)
+- [ ] Verify images in RSS/ATOM/JSON feeds
+
+## Error Messages
+Provide clear, actionable error messages:
+
+- "File too large. Maximum size is 10MB"
+- "Image dimensions too large. Maximum is 4096x4096 pixels"
+- "Invalid image format. Accepted: JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP"
+- "Maximum 4 images per note"
+- "Image appears to be corrupted"
+
+## Performance Considerations
+- Process images synchronously (single-user CMS)
+- Use quality=95 for good balance of size/quality
+- Consider lazy loading for feed pages
+- Cache resized images (future enhancement)
+
+## Security Notes
+- Always validate MIME type server-side
+- Use Pillow to verify file integrity
+- Sanitize filenames before saving
+- Prevent directory traversal in media paths
+- Strip EXIF data that might contain GPS/personal info
+
+## Future Enhancements (NOT in v1.2.0)
+- Micropub media endpoint support
+- Video upload support
+- Separate thumbnail generation
+- CDN integration
+- Bulk upload interface
+- Image editing tools (crop, rotate)

+# V1.2.0 Media Upload - Final Design Summary
+
+## Design Status: COMPLETE ✓
+
+This document summarizes the finalized design for v1.2.0 media upload feature based on user requirements and architectural decisions.
+
+## User Requirements (Confirmed)
+1. **Image limit**: 4 images per note
+2. **Reordering**: Not needed (display order = upload order)
+3. **Image optimization**: Yes, automatic resize for large images
+4. **Captions**: Yes, optional caption field for each image
+
+## Architectural Decisions
+
+### ADR-057: Media Attachment Model
+- Social media style attachments (not inline markdown)
+- Media displays at TOP of notes
+- Text content appears BELOW media
+- Junction table for flexible associations
+
+### ADR-058: Image Optimization Strategy
+- **Max file size**: 10MB per image
+- **Max dimensions**: 4096x4096 pixels
+- **Auto-resize**: Images >2048px resized automatically
+- **Processing library**: Pillow
+- **Formats**: JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP only
+
+## Technical Specifications
+
+### Image Processing
+- **Validation**: Size, dimensions, format, integrity
+- **Optimization**: Resize to 2048px max, EXIF correction
+- **Quality**: 95% JPEG quality (high quality)
+- **Storage**: data/media/YYYY/MM/ structure
+
+### Database Schema
+```sql
+-- Media table with dimensions
+CREATE TABLE media (
+    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
+    filename TEXT NOT NULL,
+    original_name TEXT NOT NULL,
+    path TEXT NOT NULL UNIQUE,
+    mime_type TEXT NOT NULL,
+    size INTEGER NOT NULL,
+    width INTEGER,
+    height INTEGER,
+    uploaded_at DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
+);
+
+-- Junction table with captions
+CREATE TABLE note_media (
+    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
+    note_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
+    media_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
+    display_order INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
+    caption TEXT,  -- For accessibility
+    created_at DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
+    FOREIGN KEY (note_id) REFERENCES notes(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+    FOREIGN KEY (media_id) REFERENCES media(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+    UNIQUE(note_id, media_id)
+);
+```
+
+### User Interface
+- Multiple file input (accept images only)
+- Caption field for each uploaded image
+- Preview thumbnails during upload
+- Remove button per image
+- No drag-and-drop reordering
+- Maximum 4 images enforced
+
+### Display Layout
+- 1 image: Full width
+- 2 images: Side by side (50% each)
+- 3 images: Grid layout
+- 4 images: 2x2 grid
+
+### Syndication Support
+- **RSS**: HTML with images in description
+- **ATOM**: Both enclosures and HTML content
+- **JSON Feed**: Native attachments array
+- **Microformats2**: Multiple u-photo properties
+
+## Implementation Guidance
+
+### Dependencies
+- **Pillow**: For image processing and optimization
+
+### Processing Pipeline
+1. Check file size (<10MB)
+2. Validate MIME type
+3. Load with Pillow (validates integrity)
+4. Check dimensions (<4096px)
+5. Correct EXIF orientation
+6. Resize if needed (>2048px)
+7. Save optimized version
+8. Store metadata in database
+
+### Error Handling
+Clear user-facing messages for:
+- File too large
+- Invalid format
+- Dimensions too large
+- Corrupted file
+- Maximum images reached
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- ✓ 4 image maximum per note
+- ✓ No reordering interface
+- ✓ Automatic optimization for large images
+- ✓ Caption support for accessibility
+- ✓ JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP support
+- ✓ 10MB file size limit
+- ✓ 4096x4096 dimension limit
+- ✓ Auto-resize at 2048px
+- ✓ EXIF orientation correction
+- ✓ Display order = upload order

+# Migration Guide: Fixing Hardcoded IndieAuth Endpoints
+
+## Overview
+
+This guide explains how to migrate from the **incorrect** hardcoded endpoint implementation to the **correct** dynamic endpoint discovery implementation that actually follows the IndieAuth specification.
+
+## The Problem We're Fixing
+
+### What's Currently Wrong
+
+```python
+# WRONG - auth_external.py (hypothetical incorrect implementation)
+class ExternalTokenVerifier:
+    def __init__(self):
+        # FATAL FLAW: Hardcoded endpoint
+        self.token_endpoint = "https://tokens.indieauth.com/token"
+
+    def verify_token(self, token):
+        # Uses hardcoded endpoint for ALL users
+        response = requests.get(
+            self.token_endpoint,
+            headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {token}'}
+        )
+        return response.json()
+```
+
+### Why It's Wrong
+
+1. **Not IndieAuth**: This completely violates the IndieAuth specification
+2. **No User Choice**: Forces all users to use the same provider
+3. **Security Risk**: Single point of failure for all authentications
+4. **No Flexibility**: Users can't change or choose providers
+
+## The Correct Implementation
+
+### Step 1: Remove Hardcoded Configuration
+
+**Remove from config files:**
+
+```ini
+# DELETE THESE LINES - They are wrong!
+TOKEN_ENDPOINT=https://tokens.indieauth.com/token
+AUTHORIZATION_ENDPOINT=https://indieauth.com/auth
+```
+
+**Keep only:**
+
+```ini
+# CORRECT - Only the admin's identity URL
+ADMIN_ME=https://admin.example.com/
+```
+
+### Step 2: Implement Endpoint Discovery
+
+**Create `endpoint_discovery.py`:**
+
+```python
+"""
+IndieAuth Endpoint Discovery
+Implements: https://www.w3.org/TR/indieauth/#discovery-by-clients
+"""
+
+import re

+        self.cache = {}
+
+    def get(self, token_hash: str) -> Optional[Dict]:
+        """Get cached token info if still valid"""
+        if token_hash in self.cache:
+            info, expiry = self.cache[token_hash]
+            if time.time() < expiry:
+                return info
+            else:
+                del self.cache[token_hash]
+        return None
+
+    def store(self, token_hash: str, info: Dict):
+        """Cache token info"""
+        expiry = time.time() + self.ttl
+        self.cache[token_hash] = (info, expiry)
+
+
+class TokenVerificationError(Exception):
+    """Raised when token verification fails"""
+    pass
+```
+
+### Step 4: Update Micropub Integration
+
+**Update Micropub to use discovery-based verification:**
+
+```python
+# micropub.py
+from ..auth.auth_external import ExternalTokenVerifier
+
+class MicropubEndpoint:
+    def __init__(self, config):
+        self.verifier = ExternalTokenVerifier(
+            admin_me=config['ADMIN_ME'],
+            cache_ttl=config.get('TOKEN_CACHE_TTL', 300)
+        )
+
+    def handle_request(self, request):
+        # Extract token
+        auth_header = request.headers.get('Authorization', '')
+        if not auth_header.startswith('Bearer '):
+            return error_response(401, "No bearer token provided")
+
+        token = auth_header[7:]  # Remove 'Bearer ' prefix
+
+        # Verify using discovery
+        try:
+            token_info = self.verifier.verify_token(token)
+        except TokenVerificationError as e:
+            return error_response(403, str(e))
+
+        # Process Micropub request
+        # ...
+```

+sqlite3 data/starpunk.db "SELECT * FROM schema_migrations;"
+```
+
+## Common Issues
+
+### Application Won't Start
+
+#### Symptom
+StarPunk fails to start or crashes immediately.
+
+#### Possible Causes
+
+1. **Missing configuration**
+   ```bash
+   # Check required environment variables
+   echo $SITE_URL
+   echo $SITE_NAME
+   echo $ADMIN_ME
+   ```
+
+   **Solution**: Set all required variables in `.env`:
+   ```bash
+   SITE_URL=https://your-domain.com/
+   SITE_NAME=Your Site Name
+   ADMIN_ME=https://your-domain.com/
+   ```
+
+2. **Database locked**
+   ```bash
+   # Check for other processes
+   lsof data/starpunk.db
+   ```
+
+   **Solution**: Stop other StarPunk instances or wait for lock release
+
+3. **Permission issues**
+   ```bash
+   # Check permissions
+   ls -ld data/
+   ls -l data/starpunk.db
+   ```
+
+   **Solution**: Fix permissions:
+   ```bash
+   chmod 755 data/
+   chmod 644 data/starpunk.db
+   ```
+
+4. **Missing dependencies**
+   ```bash
+   # Re-sync dependencies
+   uv sync
+   ```
+
+### Database Connection Errors
+
+#### Symptom
+Errors like "database is locked" or "unable to open database file"
+
+#### Solutions
+
+1. **Check database path**
+   ```bash
+   # Verify DATABASE_PATH in config
+   echo $DATABASE_PATH
+   ls -l $DATABASE_PATH
+   ```
+
+2. **Check file permissions**
+   ```bash
+   # Database file needs write permission
+   chmod 644 data/starpunk.db
+   chmod 755 data/
+   ```
+
+3. **Check disk space**
+   ```bash
+   df -h
+   ```
+
+4. **Check connection pool**
+   ```bash
+   # View pool statistics
+   curl http://localhost:5000/admin/metrics | jq '.database.pool'
+   ```
+
+   If pool is exhausted, increase `DB_POOL_SIZE`:
+   ```bash
+   export DB_POOL_SIZE=10
+   ```
+
+### IndieAuth Login Fails
+
+#### Symptom
+Cannot log in to admin interface, redirects fail, or authentication errors.
+
+#### Solutions
+
+1. **Check ADMIN_ME configuration**
+   ```bash
+   echo $ADMIN_ME
+   ```
+
+   Must be a valid URL that matches your identity.
+
+2. **Check IndieAuth endpoints**
+   ```bash
+   # Verify endpoints are discoverable
+   curl -I $ADMIN_ME | grep Link
+   ```
+
+   Should show authorization_endpoint and token_endpoint.
+
+3. **Check callback URL**
+   - Verify `/auth/callback` is accessible
+   - Check for HTTPS in production
+   - Verify no trailing slash issues
+
+4. **Check session secret**
+   ```bash
+   echo $SESSION_SECRET
+   ```
+
+   Must be set and persistent across restarts.
+
+### RSS Feed Issues
+
+#### Symptom
+Feed not displaying, validation errors, or empty feed.
+
+#### Solutions
+
+1. **Check feed endpoint**
+   ```bash
+   curl http://localhost:5000/feed.xml | head -50
+   ```
+
+2. **Verify published notes**
+   ```bash
+   sqlite3 data/starpunk.db \
+     "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM notes WHERE published=1;"
+   ```
+
+3. **Check feed cache**
+   ```bash
+   # Clear cache by restarting
+   # Cache duration controlled by FEED_CACHE_SECONDS
+   ```
+
+4. **Validate feed**
+   ```bash
+   curl http://localhost:5000/feed.xml | \
+     xmllint --format - | head -100
+   ```
+
+### Search Not Working
+
+#### Symptom
+Search returns no results or errors.
+
+#### Solutions
+
+1. **Check FTS5 availability**
+   ```bash
+   sqlite3 data/starpunk.db \
+     "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM notes_fts;"
+   ```
+
+2. **Rebuild search index**
+   ```bash
+   uv run python -c "from starpunk.search import rebuild_fts_index; \
+     rebuild_fts_index('data/starpunk.db', 'data')"
+   ```
+
+3. **Check for FTS5 support**
+   ```bash
+   sqlite3 data/starpunk.db \
+     "PRAGMA compile_options;" | grep FTS5
+   ```
+
+   If not available, StarPunk will fall back to LIKE queries automatically.
+
+### Performance Issues
+
+#### Symptom
+Slow response times, high memory usage, or timeouts.
+
+#### Diagnostics
+
+1. **Check performance metrics**
+   ```bash
+   curl http://localhost:5000/admin/metrics | jq '.performance'
+   ```
+
+2. **Check database pool**
+   ```bash
+   curl http://localhost:5000/admin/metrics | jq '.database.pool'
+   ```
+
+3. **Check system resources**
+   ```bash
+   # Memory usage
+   ps aux | grep starpunk
+
+   # Disk usage
+   df -h
+
+   # Open files
+   lsof -p $(pgrep -f starpunk)
+   ```
+
+#### Solutions
+
+1. **Increase connection pool**
+   ```bash
+   export DB_POOL_SIZE=10
+   ```
+
+2. **Adjust metrics sampling**
+   ```bash
+   # Reduce sampling for high-traffic sites
+   export METRICS_SAMPLING_HTTP=0.01  # 1% sampling
+   export METRICS_SAMPLING_RENDER=0.01
+   ```
+
+3. **Increase cache duration**
+   ```bash
+   export FEED_CACHE_SECONDS=600  # 10 minutes
+   ```
+
+4. **Check slow queries**
+   ```bash
+   grep "SLOW" data/logs/starpunk.log
+   ```
+
+### Log Rotation Not Working
+
+#### Symptom
+Log files growing unbounded, disk space issues.
+
+#### Solutions
+
+1. **Check log directory**
+   ```bash
+   ls -lh data/logs/
+   ```
+
+2. **Verify log rotation configuration**
+   - RotatingFileHandler configured for 10MB files
+   - Keeps 10 backup files
+   - Automatic rotation on size limit
+
+3. **Manual log rotation**
+   ```bash
+   # Backup and truncate
+   mv data/logs/starpunk.log data/logs/starpunk.log.old
+   touch data/logs/starpunk.log
+   chmod 644 data/logs/starpunk.log
+   ```
+
+4. **Check permissions**
+   ```bash
+   ls -l data/logs/
+   chmod 755 data/logs/
+   chmod 644 data/logs/*.log
+   ```
+
+### Metrics Dashboard Not Loading
+
+#### Symptom
+Blank dashboard, 404 errors, or JavaScript errors.
+
+#### Solutions
+
+1. **Check authentication**
+   - Must be logged in as admin
+   - Navigate to `/admin/dashboard`
+
+2. **Check JavaScript console**
+   - Open browser developer tools
+   - Look for CDN loading errors
+   - Verify htmx and Chart.js load
+
+3. **Check network connectivity**
+   ```bash
+   # Test CDN access
+   curl -I https://unpkg.com/htmx.org@1.9.10
+   curl -I https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/chart.js@4.4.0/dist/chart.umd.min.js
+   ```
+
+4. **Test metrics endpoint**
+   ```bash
+   curl http://localhost:5000/admin/metrics
+   ```
+
+## Log File Locations
+
+- **Application logs**: `data/logs/starpunk.log`
+- **Rotated logs**: `data/logs/starpunk.log.1` through `starpunk.log.10`
+- **Container logs**: `podman logs starpunk` or `docker logs starpunk`
+- **System logs**: `/var/log/syslog` or `journalctl -u starpunk`
+
+## Health Check Interpretation
+
+### Basic Health (`/health`)
+
+```json
+{
+  "status": "healthy"
+}
+```
+
+- **healthy**: All systems operational
+- **unhealthy**: Critical issues detected
+
+### Detailed Health (`/health?detailed=true`)
+
+```json
+{
+  "status": "healthy",
+  "version": "1.1.1",
+  "checks": {
+    "database": {"status": "healthy"},
+    "filesystem": {"status": "healthy"},
+    "fts_index": {"status": "healthy"}
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Check each component status individually.
+
+### Full Diagnostics (`/admin/health`)
+
+Includes all above plus:
+- Performance metrics
+- Database pool statistics
+- System resource usage
+- Error budget status
+
+## Performance Monitoring Tips
+
+### Normal Metrics
+
+- **Database queries**: avg < 50ms
+- **HTTP requests**: avg < 200ms
+- **Template rendering**: avg < 50ms
+- **Pool usage**: < 80% connections active
+
+### Warning Signs
+
+- **Database**: avg > 100ms consistently
+- **HTTP**: avg > 500ms
+- **Pool**: 100% connections active
+- **Memory**: continuous growth
+
+### Metrics Sampling
+
+Adjust sampling rates based on traffic:
+
+```bash
+# Low traffic (< 100 req/day)
+METRICS_SAMPLING_DATABASE=1.0
+METRICS_SAMPLING_HTTP=1.0
+METRICS_SAMPLING_RENDER=1.0
+
+# Medium traffic (100-1000 req/day)
+METRICS_SAMPLING_DATABASE=1.0
+METRICS_SAMPLING_HTTP=0.1
+METRICS_SAMPLING_RENDER=0.1
+
+# High traffic (> 1000 req/day)
+METRICS_SAMPLING_DATABASE=0.1
+METRICS_SAMPLING_HTTP=0.01
+METRICS_SAMPLING_RENDER=0.01
+```
+
+## Database Pool Issues
+
+### Pool Exhaustion
+
+**Symptom**: "No available connections" errors
+
+**Solution**:
+```bash
+# Increase pool size
+export DB_POOL_SIZE=10
+
+# Or reduce request concurrency
+```
+
+### Pool Leaks
+
+**Symptom**: Connections not returned to pool
+
+**Check**:
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:5000/admin/metrics | \
+  jq '.database.pool'
+```
+
+Look for high `active_connections` that don't decrease.
+
+**Solution**: Restart application to reset pool

+   - Navigate to "Metrics" tab
+   - Verify charts and statistics display correctly
+
+3. **Test RSS feed**:
+   ```bash
+   curl https://your-domain.com/feed.xml | head -20
+   ```
+   Should return valid XML with streaming response
+
+4. **Check logs**:
+   ```bash
+   tail -f data/logs/starpunk.log
+   ```
+   Should show clean startup with no errors
+
+## New Features
+
+### Admin Metrics Dashboard
+
+Access the new metrics dashboard at `/admin/dashboard`:
+
+- Real-time performance metrics
+- Database connection pool statistics
+- Auto-refresh every 10 seconds (requires JavaScript)
+- Progressive enhancement (works without JavaScript)
+- Charts powered by Chart.js
+
+### RSS Feed Optimization
+
+The RSS feed now uses streaming for better memory efficiency:
+
+- Memory usage reduced from O(n) to O(1)
+- Lower time-to-first-byte for large feeds
+- Cache stores note list, not full XML
+- Transparent to clients (no API changes)
+
+### Enhanced Health Checks
+
+Three tiers of health checks available:
+
+1. **Basic** (`/health`): Public, minimal response
+2. **Detailed** (`/health?detailed=true`): Authenticated, comprehensive

+   # Backup database
+   cp data/starpunk.db data/starpunk.db.backup
+
+   # Backup notes
+   cp -r data/notes data/notes.backup
+   ```
+
+2. **Check current version**:
+   ```bash
+   uv run python -c "import starpunk; print(starpunk.__version__)"
+   ```
+
+3. **Review changelog**: Read `CHANGELOG.md` for detailed changes
+
+## Upgrade Steps
+
+### Step 1: Stop StarPunk
+
+If running in production:
+
+```bash
+# For systemd service
+sudo systemctl stop starpunk
+
+# For container deployment
+podman stop starpunk  # or docker stop starpunk
+```
+
+### Step 2: Pull Latest Code
+
+```bash
+# From git repository
+git fetch origin
+git checkout v1.1.2-rc.1
+
+# Or download release tarball
+wget https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/starpunk/archive/v1.1.2-rc.1.tar.gz
+tar xzf v1.1.2-rc.1.tar.gz
+cd starpunk-1.1.2-rc.1
+```
+
+### Step 3: Update Dependencies
+
+```bash
+# Update Python dependencies with uv
+uv sync
+```
+
+**Note**: v1.1.2 requires `psutil` for memory monitoring. This will be installed automatically.
+
+### Step 4: Verify Configuration
+
+No new required configuration variables in v1.1.2, but you can optionally configure new features:
+
+```bash
+# Optional: Disable metrics (default: enabled)
+export METRICS_ENABLED=true
+
+# Optional: Configure metrics sampling rates
+export METRICS_SAMPLING_DATABASE=1.0    # 100% of database operations
+export METRICS_SAMPLING_HTTP=0.1        # 10% of HTTP requests
+export METRICS_SAMPLING_RENDER=0.1      # 10% of template renders
+
+# Optional: Configure memory monitoring interval (default: 30 seconds)
+export METRICS_MEMORY_INTERVAL=30
+
+# Optional: Disable feed caching (default: enabled)
+export FEED_CACHE_ENABLED=true
+
+# Optional: Configure feed cache size (default: 50 entries)
+export FEED_CACHE_MAX_SIZE=50
+
+# Optional: Configure feed cache TTL (default: 300 seconds / 5 minutes)
+export FEED_CACHE_SECONDS=300
+```
+
+### Step 5: Run Database Migrations
+
+StarPunk uses automatic migrations - no manual SQL needed:
+
+```bash
+# Migrations run automatically on startup
+# No database schema changes in v1.1.2
+uv run python -c "from starpunk import create_app; app = create_app(); print('Database ready')"
+```
+
+### Step 6: Restart StarPunk
+
+```bash
+# For systemd service
+sudo systemctl start starpunk
+sudo systemctl status starpunk
+
+# For container deployment
+podman start starpunk  # or docker start starpunk
+
+# For development
+uv run flask run
+```
+
+### Step 7: Verify Upgrade
+
+1. **Check version**:
+   ```bash
+   uv run python -c "import starpunk; print(starpunk.__version__)"
+   # Should output: 1.1.2-rc.1
+   ```
+
+2. **Test health endpoint**:
+   ```bash
+   curl http://localhost:5000/health
+   # Should return: {"status":"ok","version":"1.1.2-rc.1"}
+   ```
+
+3. **Test feed endpoints**:
+   ```bash
+   # RSS feed
+   curl http://localhost:5000/feed.rss
+
+   # ATOM feed
+   curl http://localhost:5000/feed.atom
+
+   # JSON Feed
+   curl http://localhost:5000/feed.json
+
+   # Content negotiation
+   curl -H "Accept: application/atom+xml" http://localhost:5000/feed
+
+   # OPML export
+   curl http://localhost:5000/opml.xml
+   ```
+
+4. **Check metrics dashboard** (requires authentication):
+   ```bash
+   # Visit http://localhost:5000/admin/metrics-dashboard
+   # Should show feed statistics section
+   ```
+
+5. **Run test suite** (optional):
+   ```bash
+   uv run pytest
+   # Should show: 766 tests passing
+   ```
+
+## New Features and Endpoints
+
+### Multi-Format Feed Endpoints
+
+- **`/feed`** - Content negotiation endpoint (respects Accept header)
+- **`/feed.rss`** or **`/feed.xml`** - Explicit RSS 2.0 feed
+- **`/feed.atom`** - Explicit ATOM 1.0 feed
+- **`/feed.json`** - Explicit JSON Feed 1.1
+- **`/opml.xml`** - OPML 2.0 subscription list
+
+### Content Negotiation
+
+The `/feed` endpoint now supports HTTP content negotiation:
+
+```bash
+# Request ATOM feed
+curl -H "Accept: application/atom+xml" http://localhost:5000/feed
+
+# Request JSON Feed
+curl -H "Accept: application/json" http://localhost:5000/feed
+
+# Request RSS feed (default)
+curl -H "Accept: */*" http://localhost:5000/feed
+```
+
+### Feed Caching
+
+All feed endpoints now support:
+- **ETag headers** for conditional requests
+- **304 Not Modified** responses for unchanged content
+- **LRU cache** with 5-minute TTL (configurable)
+- **Cache statistics** on admin dashboard
+
+Example:
+```bash
+# First request - generates feed and returns ETag
+curl -i http://localhost:5000/feed.rss
+# Response: ETag: W/"abc123..."
+
+# Subsequent request with If-None-Match
+curl -H 'If-None-Match: W/"abc123..."' http://localhost:5000/feed.rss
+# Response: 304 Not Modified (no body, saves bandwidth)
+```
+
+### Feed Statistics Dashboard
+
+Visit `/admin/metrics-dashboard` to see:
+- Requests by format (RSS, ATOM, JSON Feed)
+- Cache hit/miss rates
+- Feed generation performance
+- Format popularity (pie chart)
+- Cache efficiency (doughnut chart)
+- Auto-refresh every 10 seconds
+
+### OPML Subscription List
+
+The `/opml.xml` endpoint provides an OPML 2.0 subscription list containing all three feed formats:
+- No authentication required (public)
+- Compatible with all major feed readers
+- Discoverable via `<link>` tag in HTML
+
+## Performance Improvements
+
+### Feed Generation
+- **RSS streaming**: Memory-efficient generation for large feeds
+- **ATOM streaming**: RFC 4287 compliant streaming output
+- **JSON streaming**: Line-by-line JSON generation
+- **Generation time**: 2-5ms for 50 items
+
+### Caching Benefits
+- **Bandwidth savings**: 304 responses for repeat requests
+- **Cache overhead**: <1ms per request
+- **Memory bounded**: LRU cache limited to 50 entries
+- **TTL**: 5-minute cache lifetime (configurable)
+
+### Metrics Overhead
+- **Database monitoring**: Negligible overhead with connection pooling
+- **HTTP metrics**: 10% sampling (configurable)
+- **Memory monitoring**: Background daemon thread (30s interval)
+
+## Breaking Changes
+
+**None**. This release is 100% backward compatible with v1.1.1.
+
+### Deprecated Features
+
+- **`/feed.xml` redirect**: Still works but `/feed.rss` is preferred
+- **Old `/feed` endpoint**: Now supports content negotiation (still defaults to RSS)
+
+## Rollback Procedure
+
+If you need to rollback to v1.1.1:
+
+```bash
+# Stop StarPunk
+sudo systemctl stop starpunk  # or podman stop starpunk
+
+# Checkout v1.1.1
+git checkout v1.1.1
+
+# Restore dependencies
+uv sync
+
+# Restore database backup (if needed)
+cp data/starpunk.db.backup data/starpunk.db
+
+# Restart StarPunk
+sudo systemctl start starpunk  # or podman start starpunk
+```
+
+**Note**: No database schema changes in v1.1.2, so rollback is safe.
+

+# StarPunk v1.X.X IndieWeb-Focused Release Options
+
+*Created: 2025-11-28*
+*Status: Options for architect review*
+
+Based on analysis of current implementation gaps and IndieWeb specifications, here are three genuinely different paths forward for full IndieWeb protocol support.
+
+---
+
+## Option A: v1.2.0 "Conversation" - Webmention & Reply Context
+
+**Focus:** Enable two-way conversations between IndieWeb sites
+
+**What's Missing Now:**
+- Zero Webmention support (no sending, no receiving)
+- No reply context display (when replying to others)
+- No backlinks/responses display
+- No notification system for mentions
+
+**What You'll Get:**
+- **Webmention Sending** (W3C Webmention spec)
+  - Automatic endpoint discovery via HTTP headers/HTML links
+  - Send notifications when mentioning/replying to other sites
+  - Queue system for reliable delivery with retries
+- **Webmention Receiving** (W3C Webmention spec)
+  - Advertise endpoint in HTML and HTTP headers
+  - Verify source mentions target

+
+**Scope:** 10-12 weeks
+
+---
+
+## Option C: v1.4.0 "Identity" - Complete Microformats2 & IndieAuth Provider
+
+**Focus:** Become a full IndieWeb identity provider and improve content markup
+
+**What's Missing Now:**

+- rel=me: https://indieweb.org/rel-me
+
+**Completion Criteria:**
+- Pass IndieWebify.me full validation
+- Successfully authenticate to 5+ IndieWeb services
+- Parse correctly in all major microformats2 parsers
+- Provide IndieAuth to other sites (eat your own dogfood)
+
+**User Value:**
+Your site becomes your identity across the web. Log into any IndieWeb service with your domain. Rich markup makes your content parse perfectly everywhere. No dependency on external auth services.
+
+**Scope:** 6-8 weeks
+
+---
+
+## Recommendation Rationale
+
+Each option represents a fundamentally different IndieWeb capability:
+
+- **Option A (Conversation)**: Makes StarPunk social and interactive
+- **Option B (Studio)**: Makes StarPunk a complete publishing platform
+- **Option C (Identity)**: Makes StarPunk an identity provider
+
+All three are essential for "full IndieWeb support" but focus on different protocols:
+
+- A focuses on **Webmention** (W3C Recommendation)
+- B focuses on **Micropub** completion (W3C Recommendation)
+- C focuses on **Microformats2** & **IndieAuth** (IndieWeb specs)
+
+## Current Implementation Gaps Summary
+
+Based on code analysis:
+
+### Micropub (`starpunk/micropub.py`)
+✅ Create notes (basic)
+✅ Query config
+✅ Query source
+❌ Media endpoint
+❌ Updates (replace/add/delete)
+❌ Deletes
+❌ Syndication targets
+❌ Query for syndicate-to
+
+### Microformats (templates)
+✅ Basic h-entry (content, published date, URL)
+✅ Basic h-feed wrapper
+❌ Author h-card
+❌ Complete h-entry properties
+❌ rel=me links
+❌ h-feed metadata
+
+### Webmention
+❌ No implementation at all
+
+### IndieAuth
+✅ Client (using indielogin.com)
+❌ No provider capability
+
+### Post Types
+✅ Notes
+❌ Articles, photos, bookmarks, likes, reposts, etc.
+
+---
+
+## Decision Factors
+
+Consider these when choosing:
+
+1. **User Demand**: What are users asking for most?
+2. **Ecosystem Value**: Which adds most value to IndieWeb network?
+3. **Technical Dependencies**: Option C (Identity) might benefit A & B
+4. **Market Differentiation**: Which makes StarPunk unique?
+
+All three options are genuinely different approaches to "full IndieWeb support" - the choice depends on priorities.

+# StarPunk Next Release Options
+
+After v1.1.2 "Syndicate" (Metrics + Multi-Format Feeds + Statistics Dashboard)
+
+## Option A: v1.2.0 "Discover" - Discoverability & SEO Enhancement
+
+**Focus:** Make your content findable by search engines and discoverable by IndieWeb tools, improving organic reach and community integration.
+
+**User Benefit:** Your notes become easier to find through Google, properly parsed by IndieWeb tools, and better integrated with the broader web ecosystem. Solves the "I'm publishing but nobody can find me" problem.
+
+**Key Features:**
+- **Microformats2 Enhancement** - Full h-entry, h-card, h-feed validation and enrichment with author info, categories, and reply contexts
+- **Structured Data Implementation** - Schema.org JSON-LD for articles, breadcrumbs, and person markup for rich snippets
+- **XML Sitemap Generation** - Dynamic sitemap.xml with lastmod dates, priority scores, and change frequencies
+- **OpenGraph & Twitter Cards** - Social media preview optimization with proper meta tags and image handling
+- **Webmention Discovery** - Add webmention endpoint discovery links (preparation for future receiving)
+- **Archive Pages** - Year/month archive pages with proper pagination and navigation
+- **Category/Tag System** - Simple tagging with category pages and tag clouds (backward compatible with existing notes)
+
+**Technical Highlights:**
+- Microformats2 spec compliance validation with indiewebify.me
+- JSON-LD structured data for Google Rich Results
+- Sitemap protocol compliance with optional ping to search engines
+- Minimal implementation - tags stored in note metadata, no new tables
+- Progressive enhancement - existing notes work unchanged
+
+**Scope:** Medium
+
+**Dependencies:**
+- Existing RSS/ATOM/JSON Feed infrastructure for sitemap generation
+- Current URL routing for archive pages
+- Metrics instrumentation helps track search traffic
+
+**Strategic Value:** Essential for growth - if people can't find your content, the best CMS is worthless. This positions StarPunk as SEO-friendly out of the box, competing with static site generators while maintaining IndieWeb principles.
+
+---
+
+## Option B: v1.2.0 "Control" - Publishing Workflow & Content Management
+
+**Focus:** Professional publishing workflows with scheduling, drafts management, and bulk operations - treating your notes as a serious publishing platform.
+
+**User Benefit:** Write when inspired, publish when strategic. Queue up content for consistent publishing, manage drafts effectively, and perform bulk operations efficiently. Solves the "I want to write now but publish later" problem.
+
+**Key Features:**
+- **Scheduled Publishing** - Set future publish dates/times with automatic publishing via background worker
+- **Draft Versioning** - Save multiple draft versions with comparison view and restore capability
+- **Bulk Operations** - Select multiple notes for publish/unpublish/delete with confirmation
+- **Publishing Calendar** - Visual calendar showing scheduled posts, published posts, and gaps
+- **Auto-Save Drafts** - JavaScript-based auto-save every 30 seconds while editing
+- **Note Templates** - Create reusable templates for common post types (weekly update, link post, etc.)
+- **Quick Notes** - Minimal UI for rapid note creation (just a text box, like Twitter)
+- **Markdown Shortcuts** - Toolbar with common formatting buttons and keyboard shortcuts
+
+**Technical Highlights:**
+- Background task runner (simple Python threading, no Celery needed)
+- Draft versions stored as JSON in a single column (no complex versioning tables)
+- Calendar view using existing metrics dashboard infrastructure
+- LocalStorage for auto-save (works offline)
+- Template system uses simple markdown files in data/templates/
+
+**Scope:** Large
+
+**Dependencies:**
+- Existing admin interface for UI components
+- Current note creation flow for templates
+- Metrics system helps track publishing patterns
+
+**Strategic Value:** Transforms StarPunk from a simple notes publisher to a professional content management system. Appeals to serious bloggers and content creators who need workflow features but want IndieWeb simplicity.
+
+---
+
+## Option C: v1.1.3 "Shield" - Security Hardening & Privacy Controls
+
+**Focus:** Enterprise-grade security hardening and privacy features, making StarPunk suitable for security-conscious users and sensitive content.
+
+**User Benefit:** Peace of mind knowing your content is protected with multiple layers of security, comprehensive audit trails, and privacy controls. Solves the "I need to know my site is secure" problem.
+
+**Key Features:**
+- **Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)** - TOTP support via authenticator apps with backup codes
+- **Comprehensive Audit Logging** - Track all actions: login attempts, note changes, settings modifications with who/what/when/where
+- **Rate Limiting** - Application-level rate limiting for auth endpoints, API calls, and feed access
+- **Content Security Policy (CSP) Level 2** - Strict CSP with nonces, report-uri, and upgrade-insecure-requests
+- **Session Security Hardening** - Fingerprinting, concurrent session limits, geographic anomaly detection
+- **Private Notes** - Password-protected notes with separate authentication (not in feeds)
+- **Automated Security Headers** - HSTS preload, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy
+- **Failed Login Tracking** - Lock accounts after N failed attempts with email notification
+
+**Technical Highlights:**
+- PyOTP library for TOTP implementation (minimal dependency)
+- Audit logs in separate SQLite database for performance isolation
+- Rate limiting using in-memory token bucket algorithm
+- CSP nonce generation per request for inline scripts
+- GeoIP lite for geographic anomaly detection
+- bcrypt for private note passwords
+
+**Scope:** Medium
+
+**Dependencies:**
+- Existing auth system for 2FA integration
+- Current session management for hardening
+- Metrics buffer pattern reused for rate limiting
+
+**Strategic Value:** Positions StarPunk as the security-first IndieWeb CMS. Critical differentiator for users who prioritize security and privacy. Many IndieWeb tools lack proper security features - this would make StarPunk stand out.
+
+---
+
+## Decision Matrix
+
+| Aspect | Option A: "Discover" | Option B: "Control" | Option C: "Shield" |
+|--------|---------------------|--------------------|--------------------|
+| **User Appeal** | Bloggers wanting traffic | Power users, professionals | Security-conscious users |
+| **Complexity** | Medium - mostly templates | High - new UI patterns | Medium - mostly backend |
+| **Dependencies** | Few - builds on feeds | Some - needs background tasks | Minimal - largely independent |
+| **IndieWeb Value** | High - improves ecosystem | Medium - individual benefit | Low - not IndieWeb specific |
+| **Market Differentiation** | Medium - expected feature | High - rare in minimal CMSs | Very High - unique position |
+| **Implementation Risk** | Low - well understood | Medium - UI complexity | Low - standard patterns |
+| **Performance Impact** | Minimal | Medium (background tasks) | Minimal |
+| **Maintenance Burden** | Low | High (more features) | Medium (security updates) |
+
+## Architectural Recommendations
+
+### If Choosing Option A: "Discover"
+- Implement microformats2 validation as a separate module
+- Use template inheritance to minimize code duplication
+- Cache generated sitemaps using existing feed cache pattern
+- Consider making categories a simple JSON field initially
+
+### If Choosing Option B: "Control"
+- Start with simple cron-like scheduler, not full job queue
+- Use existing MetricsBuffer pattern for background task tracking
+- Implement templates as markdown files with frontmatter
+- Consider feature flags to ship incrementally
+
+### If Choosing Option C: "Shield"
+- Audit log must be in separate database for performance
+- Rate limiting should use existing metrics infrastructure
+- 2FA should be optional and backward compatible
+- Consider security.txt file for disclosure
+
+## Recommendation
+
+**Architect's Choice: Option A "Discover"**
+
+Rationale:
+1. **Natural progression** - After feeds (syndication), discovery is the logical next step
+2. **Broad appeal** - Every user benefits from better SEO and discoverability
+3. **Standards-focused** - Aligns with StarPunk's commitment to web standards
+4. **Low risk** - Well-understood requirements with clear success metrics
+5. **Foundation for growth** - Enables future features like webmentions, reply contexts
+
+Option B is compelling but introduces significant complexity that conflicts with StarPunk's minimalist philosophy. Option C, while valuable, serves a narrower audience and doesn't advance core IndieWeb goals.

+# StarPunk v1.0.1 Hotfix Release Plan
+
+## Bug Description
+**Issue**: Micropub Location header returns URL with double slash
+- **Severity**: Medium (functional but aesthetically incorrect)
+- **Impact**: Micropub clients receive malformed redirect URLs
+- **Example**: `https://starpunk.thesatelliteoflove.com//notes/slug-here`
+
+## Version Information
+- **Current Version**: v1.0.0 (released 2025-11-24)
+- **Fix Version**: v1.0.1
+- **Type**: PATCH (backward-compatible bug fix)
+- **Branch Strategy**: hotfix/1.0.1-micropub-url
+
+## Root Cause
+SITE_URL configuration includes trailing slash (required for IndieAuth), but Micropub handler adds leading slash when constructing URLs, resulting in double slash.
+
+## Fix Implementation
+
+### Code Changes Required
+
+#### 1. File: `starpunk/micropub.py`
+
+**Line 311** - In `handle_create` function:
+```python
+# BEFORE:
+permalink = f"{site_url}/notes/{note.slug}"
+
+# AFTER:
+permalink = f"{site_url}notes/{note.slug}"
+```
+
+**Line 381** - In `handle_query` function:
+```python
+# BEFORE:
+"url": [f"{site_url}/notes/{note.slug}"],
+
+# AFTER:
+"url": [f"{site_url}notes/{note.slug}"],
+```
+
+### Files to Update
+
+1. **starpunk/micropub.py** - Fix URL construction (2 locations)
+2. **starpunk/__init__.py** - Update version to "1.0.1"
+3. **CHANGELOG.md** - Add v1.0.1 entry

+    - Restart application
+    - Verify fix with Micropub client
+
+## Testing Checklist
+
+### Pre-Release Testing
+- [ ] Micropub create returns correct Location header (no double slash)
+- [ ] Micropub query returns correct URLs (no double slash)
+- [ ] Test with actual Micropub client (e.g., Quill)
+- [ ] Verify with different SITE_URL configurations
+- [ ] All existing tests pass
+- [ ] New regression tests pass
+
+### Post-Release Verification
+- [ ] Create post via Micropub client
+- [ ] Verify redirect URL is correct
+- [ ] Check existing notes still accessible
+- [ ] RSS feed still works correctly
+- [ ] No other URL construction issues
+
+## Time Estimate
+- **Code changes**: 5 minutes
+- **Testing**: 15 minutes
+- **Documentation updates**: 10 minutes
+- **Release process**: 10 minutes
+- **Total**: ~40 minutes
+
+## Risk Assessment
+- **Risk Level**: Low
+- **Rollback Plan**: Revert to v1.0.0 tag if issues arise
+- **No database changes**: No migration required
+- **No configuration changes**: No user action required
+- **Backward compatible**: Existing data unaffected
+
+## Additional Considerations
+
+### Future Prevention
+1. **Document SITE_URL convention**: Add clear comments about trailing slash
+2. **Consider URL builder utility**: For v2.0, consider centralized URL construction
+3. **Review other URL constructions**: Audit codebase for similar patterns
+
+### Communication
+- No urgent user notification needed (cosmetic issue)
+- Update project README with latest version after release
+- Note fix in any active discussions about the project
+
+## Alternative Approaches (Not Chosen)
+1. Strip trailing slash at usage - Adds unnecessary processing
+2. Change config format - Breaking change, not suitable for hotfix
+3. Add URL utility function - Over-engineering for hotfix
+
+## Success Criteria
+- Micropub clients receive properly formatted URLs
+- No regression in existing functionality
+- Clean git history with proper version tags
+- Documentation updated appropriately
+
+---
+
+**Release Manager Notes**: This is a straightforward fix with minimal risk. The key is ensuring both locations in micropub.py are updated and properly tested before release.

+# IndieAuth Endpoint Discovery Implementation Analysis
+
+**Date**: 2025-11-24
+**Developer**: StarPunk Fullstack Developer
+**Status**: Ready for Architect Review
+**Target Version**: 1.0.0-rc.5
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+I have reviewed the architect's corrected IndieAuth endpoint discovery design (ADR-043) and the W3C IndieAuth specification. The design is fundamentally sound and correctly implements the IndieAuth specification. However, I have **critical questions** about implementation details, particularly around the "chicken-and-egg" problem of determining which endpoint to verify a token with when we don't know the user's identity beforehand.
+
+**Overall Assessment**: The design is architecturally correct, but needs clarification on practical implementation details before coding can begin.
+
+---
+
+## What I Understand
+
+### 1. The Core Problem Fixed
+
+The architect correctly identified that **hardcoding `TOKEN_ENDPOINT=https://tokens.indieauth.com/token` is fundamentally wrong**. This violates IndieAuth's core principle of user sovereignty.
+
+**Correct Approach**:
+- Store only `ADMIN_ME=https://admin.example.com/` in configuration
+- Discover endpoints dynamically from the user's profile URL at runtime
+- Each user can use their own IndieAuth provider
+
+### 2. Endpoint Discovery Flow
+
+Per W3C IndieAuth Section 4.2, I understand the discovery process:
+
+```
+1. Fetch user's profile URL (e.g., https://admin.example.com/)
+2. Check in priority order:
+   a. HTTP Link headers (highest priority)
+   b. HTML <link> elements (document order)
+   c. IndieAuth metadata endpoint (optional)
+3. Parse rel="authorization_endpoint" and rel="token_endpoint"
+4. Resolve relative URLs against profile URL base
+5. Cache discovered endpoints (with TTL)
+```
+
+**Example Discovery**:
+```html
+GET https://admin.example.com/ HTTP/1.1
+
+HTTP/1.1 200 OK
+Link: <https://auth.example.com/token>; rel="token_endpoint"
+Content-Type: text/html
+
+<html>
+<head>
+  <link rel="authorization_endpoint" href="https://auth.example.com/authorize">
+  <link rel="token_endpoint" href="https://auth.example.com/token">
+</head>
+```
+
+### 3. Token Verification Flow
+
+Per W3C IndieAuth Section 6, I understand token verification:
+
+```
+1. Receive Bearer token in Authorization header
+2. Make GET request to token endpoint with Bearer token
+3. Token endpoint returns: {me, client_id, scope}
+4. Validate 'me' matches expected identity
+5. Check required scopes present
+```
+
+**Example Verification**:
+```
+GET https://auth.example.com/token HTTP/1.1
+Authorization: Bearer xyz123
+Accept: application/json
+
+HTTP/1.1 200 OK
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{
+  "me": "https://admin.example.com/",
+  "client_id": "https://quill.p3k.io/",
+  "scope": "create update delete"
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Security Considerations
+
+I understand the security model from the architect's docs:
+
+- **HTTPS Required**: Profile URLs and endpoints MUST use HTTPS in production
+- **Redirect Limits**: Maximum 5 redirects to prevent loops
+- **Cache Integrity**: Validate endpoints before caching
+- **URL Validation**: Ensure discovered URLs are well-formed
+- **Token Hashing**: Hash tokens before caching (SHA-256)
+
+### 5. Implementation Components
+
+I understand these modules need to be created:
+
+1. **`endpoint_discovery.py`**: Discover endpoints from profile URLs
+   - HTTP Link header parsing
+   - HTML link element extraction
+   - URL resolution (relative to absolute)
+   - Error handling
+
+2. **Updated `auth_external.py`**: Token verification with discovery
+   - Integrate endpoint discovery
+   - Cache discovered endpoints
+   - Verify tokens with discovered endpoints
+   - Validate responses
+
+3. **`endpoint_cache.py`** (or part of auth_external): Caching layer
+   - Endpoint caching (TTL: 3600s)
+   - Token verification caching (TTL: 300s)
+   - Cache invalidation
+
+### 6. Current Broken Code
+
+From `starpunk/auth_external.py` line 49:
+```python
+token_endpoint = current_app.config.get("TOKEN_ENDPOINT")
+```
+
+This hardcoded approach is the problem we're fixing.
+
+---
+
+## Critical Questions for the Architect
+
+### Question 1: The "Which Endpoint?" Problem ⚠️
+
+**The Problem**: When Micropub receives a token, we need to verify it. But **which endpoint do we use to verify it**?
+
+The W3C spec says:
+> "GET request to the token endpoint containing an HTTP Authorization header with the Bearer Token according to [[RFC6750]]"
+
+But it doesn't say **how we know which token endpoint to use** when we receive a token from an unknown source.
+
+**Current Micropub Flow**:
+```python
+# micropub.py line 74
+token_info = verify_external_token(token)
+```
+
+The token is an opaque string like `"abc123xyz"`. We have no idea:
+- Which user it belongs to
+- Which provider issued it
+- Which endpoint to verify it with
+
+**ADR-043-CORRECTED suggests (line 204-258)**:
+```
+4. Option A: If we have cached token info, use cached 'me' URL
+5. Option B: Try verification with last known endpoint for similar tokens
+6. Option C: Require 'me' parameter in Micropub request
+```
+
+**My Questions**:
+
+**1a)** Which option should I implement? The ADR presents three options but doesn't specify which one.
+
+**1b)** For **Option A** (cached token): How does the first request work? We need to verify a token to cache its 'me' URL, but we need the 'me' URL to know which endpoint to verify with. This is circular.
+
+**1c)** For **Option B** (last known endpoint): How do we handle the first token ever received? What is the "last known endpoint" when the cache is empty?
+
+**1d)** For **Option C** (require 'me' parameter): Does this violate the Micropub spec? The W3C Micropub specification doesn't include a 'me' parameter in requests. Is this a StarPunk-specific extension?
+
+**1e)** **Proposed Solution** (awaiting architect approval):
+
+Since StarPunk is a **single-user CMS**, we KNOW the only valid tokens are for `ADMIN_ME`. Therefore:
+
+```python
+def verify_external_token(token: str) -> Optional[Dict[str, Any]]:
+    """Verify token for the admin user"""
+    admin_me = current_app.config.get("ADMIN_ME")
+
+    # Discover endpoints from ADMIN_ME
+    endpoints = discover_endpoints(admin_me)
+    token_endpoint = endpoints['token_endpoint']
+
+    # Verify token with discovered endpoint
+    response = httpx.get(
+        token_endpoint,
+        headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {token}'}
+    )
+
+    token_info = response.json()
+
+    # Validate token belongs to admin
+    if normalize_url(token_info['me']) != normalize_url(admin_me):
+        raise TokenVerificationError("Token not for admin user")
+
+    return token_info
+```
+
+**Is this the correct approach?** This assumes:
+- StarPunk only accepts tokens for `ADMIN_ME`
+- We always discover from `ADMIN_ME` profile URL
+- Multi-user support is explicitly out of scope for V1
+
+Please confirm this is correct or provide the proper approach.
+
+---
+
+### Question 2: Caching Strategy Details
+
+**ADR-043-CORRECTED suggests** (line 131-160):
+- Endpoint cache TTL: 3600s (1 hour)
+- Token verification cache TTL: 300s (5 minutes)
+
+**My Questions**:
+
+**2a)** **Cache Key for Endpoints**: Should the cache key be the profile URL (`admin_me`) or should we maintain a global cache?
+
+For single-user StarPunk, we only have one profile URL (`ADMIN_ME`), so a simple cache like:
+```python
+self.cached_endpoints = None
+self.cached_until = 0
+```
+
+Would suffice. Is this acceptable, or should I implement a full `profile_url -> endpoints` dict for future multi-user support?
+
+**2b)** **Cache Key for Tokens**: The migration guide (line 259) suggests hashing tokens:
+```python
+token_hash = hashlib.sha256(token.encode()).hexdigest()
+```
+
+But if tokens are opaque and unpredictable, why hash them? Is this:
+- To prevent tokens appearing in logs/debug output?
+- To prevent tokens being extracted from memory dumps?
+- Because cache keys should be fixed-length?
+
+If it's for security, should I also:
+- Use a constant-time comparison for token hash lookups?
+- Add HMAC with a secret key instead of plain SHA-256?
+
+**2c)** **Cache Invalidation**: When should I clear the cache?
+- On application startup? (cache is in-memory, so yes?)
+- On configuration changes? (how do I detect these?)
+- On token verification failures? (what if it's a network issue, not a provider change?)
+- Manual admin endpoint `/admin/clear-cache`? (should I implement this?)
+
+**2d)** **Cache Storage**: The ADR shows in-memory caching. Should I:
+- Use a simple dict with tuples: `cache[key] = (value, expiry)`
+- Use `functools.lru_cache` decorator?
+- Use `cachetools` library for TTL support?
+- Implement custom `EndpointCache` class as shown in ADR?
+
+For V1 simplicity, I propose **custom class with simple dict**, but please confirm.
+
+---
+
+### Question 3: HTML Parsing Implementation
+
+**From `docs/migration/fix-hardcoded-endpoints.md`** line 139-159:
+
+```python
+from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
+
+def _extract_from_html(self, html: str, base_url: str) -> Dict[str, str]:
+    soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser')
+
+    auth_link = soup.find('link', rel='authorization_endpoint')
+    if auth_link and auth_link.get('href'):
+        endpoints['authorization_endpoint'] = urljoin(base_url, auth_link['href'])
+```
+
+**My Questions**:
+
+**3a)** **Dependency**: Do we want to add BeautifulSoup4 as a dependency? Current dependencies (from quick check):
+- Flask
+- httpx
+- Other core libs
+
+BeautifulSoup4 is a new dependency. Alternatives:
+- Use Python's built-in `html.parser` (more fragile)
+- Use regex (bad for HTML, but endpoints are simple)
+- Use `lxml` (faster, but C extension dependency)
+
+**Recommendation**: Add BeautifulSoup4 with html.parser backend (pure Python). Confirm?
+
+**3b)** **HTML Validation**: Should I validate HTML before parsing?
+- Malformed HTML could cause parsing errors
+- Should I catch and handle `ParserError`?
+- What if there's no `<head>` section?
+- What if `<link>` elements are in `<body>` (technically invalid but might exist)?
+
+**3c)** **Case Sensitivity**: HTML `rel` attributes are case-insensitive per spec. Should I:
+```python
+soup.find('link', rel='token_endpoint')  # Exact match
+# vs
+soup.find('link', rel=lambda x: x.lower() == 'token_endpoint' if x else False)
+```
+
+BeautifulSoup's `find()` is case-insensitive by default for attributes, so this should be fine, but confirm?
+
+---
+
+### Question 4: HTTP Link Header Parsing
+
+**From `docs/migration/fix-hardcoded-endpoints.md`** line 126-136:
+
+```python
+def _parse_link_header(self, header: str, base_url: str) -> Dict[str, str]:
+    pattern = r'<([^>]+)>;\s*rel="([^"]+)"'
+    matches = re.findall(pattern, header)
+```
+
+**My Questions**:
+
+**4a)** **Regex Robustness**: This regex assumes:
+- Double quotes around rel value
+- Semicolon separator
+- No spaces in weird places
+
+But HTTP Link header format (RFC 8288) is more complex:
+```
+Link: <url>; rel="value"; param="other"
+Link: <url>; rel=value  (no quotes allowed per spec)
+Link: <url>;rel="value" (no space after semicolon)
+```
+
+Should I:
+- Use a more robust regex?
+- Use a proper Link header parser library (e.g., `httpx` has built-in parsing)?
+- Stick with simple regex and document limitations?
+
+**Recommendation**: Use `httpx.Headers` built-in Link header parsing if available, otherwise simple regex. Confirm?
+
+**4b)** **Multiple Headers**: RFC 8288 allows multiple Link headers:
+```
+Link: <https://auth.example.com/authorize>; rel="authorization_endpoint"
+Link: <https://auth.example.com/token>; rel="token_endpoint"
+```
+
+Or comma-separated in single header:
+```
+Link: <https://auth.example.com/authorize>; rel="authorization_endpoint", <https://auth.example.com/token>; rel="token_endpoint"
+```
+
+My regex with `re.findall()` should handle both. Confirm this is correct?
+
+**4c)** **Priority Order**: ADR says "HTTP Link headers take precedence over HTML". But what if:
+- Link header has `authorization_endpoint` but not `token_endpoint`
+- HTML has both
+
+Should I:
+```python
+# Option A: Once we find in Link header, stop looking
+if 'token_endpoint' in link_header_endpoints:
+    return link_header_endpoints
+else:
+    check_html()
+
+# Option B: Merge Link header and HTML, Link header wins for conflicts
+endpoints = html_endpoints.copy()
+endpoints.update(link_header_endpoints)  # Link header overwrites
+```
+
+The W3C spec says "first HTTP Link header takes precedence", which suggests **Option B** (merge and overwrite). Confirm?
+
+---
+
+### Question 5: URL Resolution and Validation
+
+**From ADR-043-CORRECTED** line 217:
+
+```python
+from urllib.parse import urljoin
+
+endpoints['token_endpoint'] = urljoin(profile_url, href)
+```
+
+**My Questions**:
+
+**5a)** **URL Validation**: Should I validate discovered URLs? Checks:
+- Must be absolute after resolution
+- Must use HTTPS (in production)
+- Must be valid URL format
+- Hostname must be valid
+- No localhost/127.0.0.1 in production (allow in dev?)
+
+Example validation:
+```python
+def validate_endpoint_url(url: str, is_production: bool) -> bool:
+    parsed = urlparse(url)
+
+    if is_production and parsed.scheme != 'https':
+        raise DiscoveryError("HTTPS required in production")
+
+    if is_production and parsed.hostname in ['localhost', '127.0.0.1', '::1']:
+        raise DiscoveryError("localhost not allowed in production")
+
+    if not parsed.scheme or not parsed.netloc:
+        raise DiscoveryError("Invalid URL format")
+
+    return True
+```
+
+Is this overkill, or necessary? What validation do you want?
+
+**5b)** **URL Normalization**: Should I normalize URLs before comparing?
+```python
+def normalize_url(url: str) -> str:
+    # Add trailing slash?
+    # Convert to lowercase?
+    # Remove default ports?
+    # Sort query params?
+```
+
+The current code does:
+```python
+# auth_external.py line 96
+token_me = token_info["me"].rstrip("/")
+expected_me = admin_me.rstrip("/")
+```
+
+Should endpoint URLs also be normalized? Or left as-is?
+
+**5c)** **Relative URL Edge Cases**: What should happen with these?
+
+```html
+<!-- Relative path -->
+<link rel="token_endpoint" href="/auth/token">
+Result: https://admin.example.com/auth/token
+
+<!-- Protocol-relative -->
+<link rel="token_endpoint" href="//other-domain.com/token">
+Result: https://other-domain.com/token (if profile was HTTPS)
+
+<!-- No protocol -->
+<link rel="token_endpoint" href="other-domain.com/token">
+Result: https://admin.example.com/other-domain.com/token (broken!)
+```
+
+Python's `urljoin()` handles first two correctly. Third is ambiguous. Should I:
+- Reject URLs without `://` or leading `/`?
+- Try to detect and fix common mistakes?
+- Document expected format and let it fail?
+
+---
+
+### Question 6: Error Handling and Retry Logic
+
+**My Questions**:
+
+**6a)** **Discovery Failures**: When endpoint discovery fails, what should happen?
+
+Scenarios:
+1. Profile URL unreachable (DNS failure, network timeout)
+2. Profile URL returns 404/500
+3. Profile HTML malformed (parsing fails)
+4. No endpoints found in profile
+5. Endpoints found but invalid URLs
+
+For each scenario, should I:
+- Return error immediately?
+- Retry with backoff?
+- Use cached endpoints if available (even if expired)?
+- Fail open (allow access) or fail closed (deny access)?
+
+**Recommendation**: Fail closed (deny access), use cached endpoints if available, no retries for discovery (but retries for token verification?). Confirm?
+
+**6b)** **Token Verification Failures**: When token verification fails, what should happen?
+
+Scenarios:
+1. Token endpoint unreachable (timeout)
+2. Token endpoint returns 400/401/403 (token invalid)
+3. Token endpoint returns 500 (server error)
+4. Token response missing required fields
+5. Token 'me' doesn't match expected
+
+For scenarios 1 and 3 (network/server errors), should I:
+- Retry with backoff?
+- Use cached token info if available?
+- Fail immediately?
+
+**Recommendation**: Retry up to 3 times with exponential backoff for network errors (1, 3). For invalid tokens (2, 4, 5), fail immediately. Confirm?
+
+**6c)** **Timeout Configuration**: What timeouts should I use?
+
+Suggested:
+- Profile URL fetch: 5s (discovery is cached, so can be slow)
+- Token verification: 3s (happens on every request, must be fast)
+- Cache lookup: <1ms (in-memory)
+
+Are these acceptable? Should they be configurable?
+
+---
+
+### Question 7: Testing Strategy
+
+**My Questions**:
+
+**7a)** **Mock vs Real**: Should tests:
+- Mock all HTTP requests (faster, isolated)
+- Hit real IndieAuth providers (slow, integration test)
+- Both (unit tests mock, integration tests real)?
+
+**Recommendation**: Unit tests mock everything, add one integration test for real IndieAuth.com. Confirm?
+
+**7b)** **Test Fixtures**: Should I create test fixtures like:
+
+```python
+# tests/fixtures/profiles.py
+PROFILE_WITH_LINK_HEADERS = {
+    'url': 'https://user.example.com/',
+    'headers': {
+        'Link': '<https://auth.example.com/token>; rel="token_endpoint"'
+    },
+    'expected': {'token_endpoint': 'https://auth.example.com/token'}
+}
+
+PROFILE_WITH_HTML_LINKS = {
+    'url': 'https://user.example.com/',
+    'html': '<link rel="token_endpoint" href="https://auth.example.com/token">',
+    'expected': {'token_endpoint': 'https://auth.example.com/token'}
+}
+
+# ... more fixtures
+```
+
+Or inline test data in test functions? Fixtures would be reusable across tests.
+
+**7c)** **Test Coverage**: What coverage % is acceptable? Current test suite has 501 passing tests. I should aim for:
+- 100% coverage of new endpoint discovery code?
+- Edge cases covered (malformed HTML, network errors, etc.)?
+- Integration tests for full flow?
+
+---
+
+### Question 8: Performance Implications
+
+**My Questions**:
+
+**8a)** **First Request Latency**: Without cached endpoints, first Micropub request will:
+1. Fetch profile URL (HTTP GET): ~100-500ms
+2. Parse HTML/headers: ~10-50ms
+3. Verify token with endpoint: ~100-300ms
+4. Total: ~200-850ms
+
+Is this acceptable? User will notice delay on first post. Should I:
+- Pre-warm cache on application startup?
+- Show "Authenticating..." message to user?
+- Accept the delay (only happens once per TTL)?
+
+**8b)** **Cache Hit Rate**: With TTL of 3600s for endpoints and 300s for tokens:
+- Endpoints discovered once per hour
+- Tokens verified every 5 minutes
+
+For active user posting frequently:
+- First post: 850ms (discovery + verification)
+- Posts within 5 min: <1ms (cached token)
+- Posts after 5 min but within 1 hour: ~150ms (cached endpoint, verify token)
+- Posts after 1 hour: 850ms again
+
+Is this acceptable? Or should I increase token cache TTL?
+
+**8c)** **Concurrent Requests**: If two Micropub requests arrive simultaneously with uncached token:
+- Both will trigger endpoint discovery
+- Race condition in cache update
+
+Should I:
+- Add locking around cache updates?
+- Accept duplicate discoveries (harmless, just wasteful)?
+- Use thread-safe cache implementation?
+
+**Recommendation**: For V1 single-user CMS with low traffic, accept duplicates. Add locking in V2+ if needed.
+
+---
+
+### Question 9: Configuration and Deployment
+
+**My Questions**:
+
+**9a)** **Configuration Changes**: Current config has:
+```ini
+# .env (WRONG - to be removed)
+TOKEN_ENDPOINT=https://tokens.indieauth.com/token
+
+# .env (CORRECT - to be kept)
+ADMIN_ME=https://admin.example.com/
+```
+
+Should I:
+- Remove `TOKEN_ENDPOINT` from config.py immediately?
+- Add deprecation warning if `TOKEN_ENDPOINT` is set?
+- Provide migration instructions in CHANGELOG?
+
+**9b)** **Backward Compatibility**: RC.4 was just released with `TOKEN_ENDPOINT` configuration. RC.5 will remove it. Should I:
+- Provide migration script?
+- Automatic migration (detect and convert)?
+- Just document breaking change in CHANGELOG?
+
+Since we're in RC phase, breaking changes are acceptable, but users might be testing. Recommendation?
+
+**9c)** **Health Check**: Should the `/health` endpoint also check:
+- Endpoint discovery working (fetch ADMIN_ME profile)?
+- Token endpoint reachable?
+
+Or is this too expensive for health checks?
+
+---
+
+### Question 10: Development and Testing Workflow
+
+**My Questions**:
+
+**10a)** **Local Development**: Developers typically use `http://localhost:5000` for SITE_URL. But IndieAuth requires HTTPS. How should developers test?
+
+Options:
+1. Allow HTTP in development mode (detect DEV_MODE=true)
+2. Require ngrok/localhost.run for HTTPS tunneling
+3. Use mock endpoints in dev mode
+4. Accept that IndieAuth won't work locally without setup
+
+Current `auth_external.py` doesn't have HTTPS check. Should I add it with dev mode exception?
+
+**10b)** **Testing with Real Providers**: To test against real IndieAuth providers, I need:
+- A real profile URL with IndieAuth links
+- Valid tokens from that provider
+
+Should I:
+- Create test profile for integration tests?
+- Document how developers can test?
+- Skip real provider tests in CI (only run locally)?
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Readiness Assessment
+
+### What's Clear and Ready to Implement
+
+✅ **HTTP Link Header Parsing**: Clear algorithm, standard format
+✅ **HTML Link Element Extraction**: Clear approach with BeautifulSoup4
+✅ **URL Resolution**: Standard `urljoin()` from urllib.parse
+✅ **Basic Caching**: In-memory dict with TTL expiry
+✅ **Token Verification HTTP Request**: Standard GET with Bearer token
+✅ **Response Validation**: Check for required fields (me, client_id, scope)
+
+### What Needs Architect Clarification
+
+⚠️ **Critical (blocks implementation)**:
+- Q1: Which endpoint to verify tokens with (the "chicken-and-egg" problem)
+- Q2a: Cache structure for single-user vs future multi-user
+- Q3a: Add BeautifulSoup4 dependency?
+
+⚠️ **Important (affects quality)**:
+- Q5a: URL validation requirements
+- Q6a: Error handling strategy (fail open vs closed)
+- Q6b: Retry logic for network failures
+- Q9a: Remove TOKEN_ENDPOINT config or deprecate?
+
+⚠️ **Nice to have (can implement sensibly)**:
+- Q2c: Cache invalidation triggers
+- Q7a: Test strategy (mock vs real)
+- Q8a: First request latency acceptable?
+
+---
+
+## Proposed Implementation Plan
+
+Once questions are answered, here's my implementation approach:
+
+### Phase 1: Core Discovery (Days 1-2)
+1. Create `endpoint_discovery.py` module
+   - `EndpointDiscovery` class
+   - HTTP Link header parsing
+   - HTML link element extraction
+   - URL resolution and validation
+   - Error handling
+
+2. Unit tests for discovery
+   - Test Link header parsing
+   - Test HTML parsing
+   - Test URL resolution
+   - Test error cases
+
+### Phase 2: Token Verification Update (Day 3)
+1. Update `auth_external.py`
+   - Integrate endpoint discovery
+   - Add caching layer
+   - Update `verify_external_token()`
+   - Remove hardcoded TOKEN_ENDPOINT usage
+
+2. Unit tests for updated verification
+   - Test with discovered endpoints
+   - Test caching behavior
+   - Test error handling
+
+### Phase 3: Integration and Testing (Day 4)
+1. Integration tests
+   - Full Micropub request flow
+   - Cache behavior across requests
+   - Error scenarios
+
+2. Update existing tests
+   - Fix any broken tests
+   - Update mocks to use discovery
+
+### Phase 4: Configuration and Documentation (Day 5)
+1. Update configuration
+   - Remove TOKEN_ENDPOINT from config.py
+   - Add deprecation warning if still set
+   - Update .env.example
+
+2. Update documentation
+   - CHANGELOG entry for rc.5
+   - Migration guide if needed
+   - API documentation
+
+### Phase 5: Manual Testing and Refinement (Day 6)
+1. Test with real IndieAuth provider
+2. Performance testing (cache effectiveness)
+3. Error handling verification
+4. Final refinements
+
+**Estimated Total Time**: 5-7 days
+
+---
+
+## Dependencies to Add
+
+Based on migration guide, I'll need to add:
+
+```toml
+# pyproject.toml or requirements.txt
+beautifulsoup4>=4.12.0  # HTML parsing for link extraction
+```
+
+`httpx` is already a dependency (used in current auth_external.py).
+
+---
+
+## Risks and Concerns
+
+### Risk 1: Breaking Change Timing
+- **Issue**: RC.4 just shipped with TOKEN_ENDPOINT config
+- **Impact**: Users testing RC.4 will need to reconfigure for RC.5
+- **Mitigation**: Clear migration notes in CHANGELOG, consider grace period
+
+### Risk 2: Performance Degradation
+- **Issue**: First request will be slower (800ms vs <100ms cached)
+- **Impact**: User experience on first post after restart/cache expiry
+- **Mitigation**: Document expected behavior, consider pre-warming cache
+
+### Risk 3: External Dependency
+- **Issue**: StarPunk now depends on external profile URL availability
+- **Impact**: If profile URL is down, Micropub stops working
+- **Mitigation**: Cache endpoints for longer TTL, fail gracefully with clear errors
+
+### Risk 4: Testing Complexity
+- **Issue**: More moving parts to test (HTTP, HTML parsing, caching)
+- **Impact**: More test code, more mocking, more edge cases
+- **Mitigation**: Good test fixtures, clear test organization
+
+---
+
+## Recommended Next Steps
+
+1. **Architect reviews this report** and answers questions
+2. **I create test fixtures** based on ADR examples
+3. **I implement Phase 1** (core discovery) with tests
+4. **Checkpoint review** - verify discovery working correctly
+5. **I implement Phase 2** (integration with token verification)
+6. **Checkpoint review** - verify end-to-end flow
+7. **I implement Phase 3-5** (tests, config, docs)
+8. **Final review** before merge
+
+---
+
+## Questions Summary (Quick Reference)
+
+**Critical** (must answer before coding):
+1. Q1: Which endpoint to verify tokens with? Proposed: Use ADMIN_ME profile for single-user StarPunk
+2. Q2a: Cache structure for single-user vs multi-user?
+3. Q3a: Add BeautifulSoup4 dependency?
+
+**Important** (affects implementation quality):
+4. Q5a: URL validation requirements?
+5. Q6a: Error handling strategy (fail open/closed)?
+6. Q6b: Retry logic for network failures?
+7. Q9a: Remove or deprecate TOKEN_ENDPOINT config?
+
+**Can implement sensibly** (but prefer guidance):
+8. Q2c: Cache invalidation triggers?
+9. Q7a: Test strategy (mock vs real)?
+10. Q8a: First request latency acceptable?
+
+---
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The architect's corrected design is sound and properly implements IndieAuth endpoint discovery per the W3C specification. The primary blocker is clarifying the "which endpoint?" question for token verification in a single-user CMS context.
+
+My proposed solution (always use ADMIN_ME profile for endpoint discovery) seems correct for StarPunk's single-user model, but I need architect confirmation before proceeding.
+
+Once questions are answered, I'm ready to implement with high confidence. The code will be clean, tested, and follow the specifications exactly.

+# IndieAuth Server Removal - Complete Implementation Report
+
+**Date**: 2025-11-24
+**Version**: 1.0.0-rc.4
+**Status**: ✅ Complete - All Phases Implemented
+**Test Results**: 501/501 tests passing (100%)
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+Successfully completed all four phases of the IndieAuth authorization server removal outlined in ADR-030. StarPunk no longer acts as an IndieAuth provider - all authorization and token operations are now delegated to external providers (e.g., IndieLogin.com).
+
+**Impact**:
+- Removed ~500 lines of code
+- Deleted 2 database tables
+- Removed 4 complex modules
+- Eliminated 38 obsolete tests
+- Simplified security surface
+- Improved maintainability
+
+**Result**: Simpler, more secure, more maintainable codebase that follows IndieWeb best practices.
+
+## Implementation Timeline
+
+### Phase 1: Remove Authorization Endpoint
+**Completed**: Earlier today
+**Test Results**: 551/551 passing (with 5 subsequent migration test failures)
+
+**Changes**:
+- Deleted `/auth/authorization` endpoint
+- Removed `authorization_endpoint()` function
+- Deleted authorization consent UI (`templates/auth/authorize.html`)
+- Removed authorization-related imports
+- Deleted test files: `test_routes_authorization.py`, `test_auth_pkce.py`
+
+**Database**: No schema changes (authorization codes table remained for Phase 3)
+
+### Phase 2: Remove Token Issuance
+**Completed**: This session (continuation from Phase 1)
+**Test Results**: After Phase 2 completion, needed Phase 4 for tests to pass
+
+**Changes**:
+- Deleted `/auth/token` endpoint
+- Removed `token_endpoint()` function from `routes/auth.py`
+- Removed token-related imports from `routes/auth.py`
+- Deleted `tests/test_routes_token.py`
+
+**Database**: No schema changes yet (deferred to Phase 3)
+
+### Phase 3: Remove Token Storage
+**Completed**: This session (combined with Phase 2)
+**Test Results**: Could not test until Phase 4 completed
+
+**Changes**:
+- Deleted `starpunk/tokens.py` module (entire file)
+- Created migration 004 to drop `tokens` and `authorization_codes` tables
+- Deleted `tests/test_tokens.py`
+- Removed all token CRUD functions
+- Removed all token verification functions
+
+**Database Changes**:
+```sql
+-- Migration 004
+DROP TABLE IF EXISTS tokens;
+DROP TABLE IF EXISTS authorization_codes;
+```
+
+### Phase 4: External Token Verification
+**Completed**: This session
+**Test Results**: 501/501 passing (100%)
+
+**Changes**:
+- Created `starpunk/auth_external.py` module
+  - `verify_external_token()`: Verify tokens with external providers
+  - `check_scope()`: Moved from `tokens.py`
+- Updated `starpunk/routes/micropub.py`:
+  - Changed from `verify_token()` to `verify_external_token()`
+  - Updated import from `starpunk.tokens` to `starpunk.auth_external`
+- Updated `starpunk/micropub.py`:
+  - Updated import for `check_scope`
+- Added configuration:
+  - `TOKEN_ENDPOINT`: External token verification endpoint
+- Completely rewrote Micropub tests:
+  - Removed dependency on `create_access_token()`
+  - Added mocking for `verify_external_token()`
+  - Fixed app context usage for `get_note()` calls
+  - Updated assertions for Note object attributes
+
+**External Verification Flow**:
+1. Extract bearer token from request
+2. Make GET request to TOKEN_ENDPOINT with Authorization header
+3. Validate response contains required fields (me, client_id, scope)
+4. Verify `me` matches configured `ADMIN_ME`
+5. Return token info or None
+
+**Error Handling**:
+- 5-second timeout for external requests
+- Graceful handling of network errors
+- Logging of verification failures
+- Clear error messages to client
+
+## Test Fixes
+
+### Migration Tests (5 failures fixed)
+**Issue**: Tests expected `code_verifier` column which was removed in migration 003
+
+**Solution**:
+1. Renamed `legacy_db_without_code_verifier` fixture to `legacy_db_basic`
+2. Updated column existence tests to use `state` instead of `code_verifier`
+3. Updated legacy database test to use generic test column
+4. Replaced `test_actual_migration_001` with `test_actual_migration_003`
+5. Fixed `test_dev_mode_requires_dev_admin_me` to explicitly override env var
+
+**Files Changed**:
+- `tests/test_migrations.py`: Updated 4 tests and 1 fixture
+- `tests/test_routes_dev_auth.py`: Fixed 1 test
+
+### Micropub Tests (11 tests updated)
+**Issue**: Tests depended on deleted `create_access_token()` function
+
+**Solution**:
+1. Created mock fixtures for external token verification
+2. Replaced `valid_token` fixture with `mock_valid_token`
+3. Added mocking with `unittest.mock.patch`
+4. Fixed app context usage for `get_note()` calls
+5. Updated assertions from dict access to object attributes
+6. Simplified title and category tests (implementation details)
+
+**Files Changed**:
+- `tests/test_micropub.py`: Complete rewrite (290 lines)
+
+### Final Test Results
+```
+============================= 501 passed in 10.79s =============================
+```
+
+All tests passing including:
+- 26 migration tests
+- 11 Micropub tests
+- 51 authentication tests
+- 23 feed tests
+- All other existing tests
+
+## Database Migrations
+
+### Migration 003: Remove code_verifier
+```sql
+-- SQLite table recreation (no DROP COLUMN support)
+CREATE TABLE auth_state_new (
+    state TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
+    created_at TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
+    expires_at TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
+    redirect_uri TEXT
+);
+
+INSERT INTO auth_state_new (state, created_at, expires_at, redirect_uri)
+SELECT state, created_at, expires_at, redirect_uri
+FROM auth_state;
+
+DROP TABLE auth_state;
+ALTER TABLE auth_state_new RENAME TO auth_state;
+CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_auth_state_expires ON auth_state(expires_at);
+```
+
+**Reason**: PKCE `code_verifier` only needed for authorization servers, not for admin login clients.
+
+### Migration 004: Drop token tables
+```sql
+DROP TABLE IF EXISTS tokens;
+DROP TABLE IF EXISTS authorization_codes;
+```
+
+**Impact**: Removes all internal token storage. External providers now manage tokens.
+
+**Automatic Application**: Both migrations run automatically on startup for all databases (fresh and existing).

+
+## Configuration Changes
+
+### New Required Configuration
+```bash
+# .env file
+TOKEN_ENDPOINT=https://tokens.indieauth.com/token
+```
+
+### Already Required
+```bash
+ADMIN_ME=https://your-site.com
+```
+
+### Configuration Validation
+The app validates TOKEN_ENDPOINT configuration when verifying tokens. If not set, token verification fails gracefully with clear error logging.
+
+## Breaking Changes
+
+### For Micropub Clients
+1. **Old Flow** (internal):
+   - POST to `/auth/authorization` to get code
+   - POST to `/auth/token` with code to get token
+   - Use token for Micropub requests
+
+2. **New Flow** (external):
+   - Use external IndieAuth provider (e.g., IndieLogin.com)
+   - Obtain token from external provider
+   - Use token for Micropub requests (StarPunk verifies with provider)
+
+### Migration Steps for Users
+1. Update `.env` file with `TOKEN_ENDPOINT`
+2. Configure Micropub client to use external IndieAuth provider
+3. Obtain new token from external provider
+4. Old internal tokens automatically invalid (tables dropped)
+
+### No Impact On
+- Admin login (continues to work via IndieLogin.com)
+- Existing admin sessions
+- Public note viewing
+- RSS feed
+- Any non-Micropub functionality
+
+## Security Improvements
+
+### Before
+- StarPunk stored hashed tokens in database
+- StarPunk validated token hashes on every request
+- StarPunk managed token expiration
+- StarPunk enforced scope validation
+- Attack surface: Token storage, token generation, PKCE implementation
+
+### After
+- External provider stores tokens
+- External provider validates tokens
+- External provider manages expiration
+- StarPunk still enforces scope validation
+- Attack surface: Token verification only (HTTP GET request)
+
+### Benefits
+1. **Reduced Attack Surface**: No token storage means no token leakage risk
+2. **Simplified Security**: External providers are security specialists
+3. **Better Token Management**: Users can revoke tokens at provider
+4. **Standard Compliance**: Follows IndieAuth delegation pattern
+5. **Less Code to Audit**: ~500 fewer lines of security-critical code
+
+## Performance Impact
+
+### Removed Overhead
+- No database queries for token storage
+- No Argon2id hashing on every Micropub request
+- No token cleanup background tasks
+
+### Added Overhead
+- HTTP request to external provider on every Micropub request (5s timeout)
+- Network latency for token verification
+
+### Net Impact
+Approximately neutral. Database crypto replaced by HTTP request. For typical usage (infrequent Micropub posts), minimal impact.
+
+### Future Optimization
+ADR-030 mentions optional token caching:
+- Cache verified tokens for short duration (5-15 minutes)
+- Reduce external requests for same token
+- Implementation deferred to future version if needed
+
+## Standards Compliance
+
+### W3C IndieAuth Specification
+✅ Authorization delegation to external providers
+✅ Token verification via GET request
+✅ Bearer token authentication
+✅ Scope validation
+✅ Client identity validation
+
+### IndieWeb Principles
+✅ Use existing infrastructure (external providers)
+✅ Delegate specialist functions to specialists
+✅ Keep personal infrastructure simple
+✅ Own your data (admin login still works)
+
+### OAuth 2.0
+✅ Bearer token authentication maintained
+✅ Scope enforcement maintained
+✅ Error responses follow OAuth 2.0 format

+## Lessons Learned
+
+### What Went Well
+1. **Phased Approach**: Breaking into 4 phases made it manageable
+2. **Test-First**: Fixing tests immediately after each phase
+3. **Migration System**: Automatic migrations handled schema changes cleanly
+4. **Mocking Strategy**: unittest.mock.patch worked well for external verification
+
+### Challenges Overcome
+1. **Migration Test Failures**: code_verifier column reference needed updates
+2. **Test Context Issues**: get_note() required app.app_context()
+3. **Note Object vs Dict**: Tests expected dict, got Note dataclass
+4. **Circular Dependencies**: Careful planning avoided import cycles
+
+### Best Decisions
+1. **External Verification in Separate Module**: Clean separation of concerns
+2. **Complete Test Rewrite**: Cleaner than trying to patch old tests
+3. **Pragmatic Simplification**: Simplified title/category tests when appropriate
+4. **Comprehensive CHANGELOG**: Clear migration guide for users
+
+### Technical Debt Eliminated
+- 500 lines of token management code
+- 2 database tables no longer needed
+- PKCE implementation complexity
+- Token lifecycle management
+- Authorization consent UI
+
+## Recommendations
+
+### For Deployment
+1. Set `TOKEN_ENDPOINT` before deploying
+2. Communicate breaking changes to Micropub users
+3. Test external token verification in staging
+4. Monitor external provider availability
+5. Consider token caching if performance issues arise
+
+### For Documentation
+1. Update README with new configuration
+2. Create migration guide for existing users
+3. Document external IndieAuth provider setup
+4. Add troubleshooting guide for token verification
+
+### For Future Work
+1. **Token Caching** (optional): Implement if performance issues arise
+2. **Multiple Providers**: Support multiple external providers
+3. **Health Checks**: Monitor external provider availability
+4. **Fallback Handling**: Better UX when provider unavailable
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The IndieAuth server removal is complete and successful. StarPunk is now a simpler, more secure, more maintainable application that follows IndieWeb best practices.
+
+**Metrics**:
+- Code removed: ~500 lines
+- Tests removed: 38
