# Astro refactor — plan

**Status: not started. These are briefs, not work.** Nothing in this plan has
been implemented.

Goal: move `ai-for-dummies` from ten hand-written HTML pages to Astro, so that
adding a chapter is a component and a content entry rather than a copy-pasted
file — **without changing how the site looks, what it says, or what it costs a
visitor to load.**

**Session state: see [`HANDOVER.md`](HANDOVER.md).** Phase 0 is done and green
on four branches; nothing is merged or pushed.

| [`../../AGENTS.md`](../../AGENTS.md)                                               | entry point                                                |
| [`../../.agents/context/design-system.md`](../../.agents/context/design-system.md) | three drifting palettes, a font that has never rendered    |
| [`../../.agents/context/verification.md`](../../.agents/context/verification.md)   | 42 assertions that will all break, and must not be deleted |
| [`../../.agents/context/publishing.md`](../../.agents/context/publishing.md)       | Gitea Pages serves a branch and cannot build               |

## The three things most likely to go wrong

1. **Content loss that nobody notices.** 50 KB of bilingual copy moves between
   files. Snapshot every route _before_ migrating it — task 03 exists to make
   that possible and blocks all page work.
2. **Assertions deleted to make a red suite green.** That converts a
   content-loss bug into a passing build. `gate.sh` refuses a coverage drop.
3. **Base-path bugs.** The site lives at `/ai-for-dummies/`. It will work
   perfectly in `pnpm run preview` and 404 in production. Verify on the real
   host.

## Phases

```
Phase 0  foundation        01 → (02 ∥ 03 ∥ 04)
Phase 1  content           05 ∥ 06                    after 04
Phase 2  components        07 → (08 ∥ 09 ∥ 10 ∥ 11)   after 02
Phase 3  pages             12 ∥ 13 ∥ 14 ∥ 17, then 15 ∥ 16
Phase 4  polish            18 ∥ 19, then 20

Widest parallelism: **four agents** (tasks 08–11, then 12/13/14/17). More than
that and they start contending on review capacity, not on files.

## Running a task

```bash
.agents/scripts/worktree.sh start 08 route-cards
cd ../af-task-08
# agent reads: plans/astro-refactor/task-08-route-cards.md
#              .agents/agents/component-builder.md  (+ the skills it names)
```

The script runs `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` and `verify-hooks.sh` for you.
That matters: `.husky/_` is generated, not committed, so a hand-made worktree
has hooks configured but **silently not running**.

Finishing:

```bash
pnpm run gate                       # tier 2, same as pre-push
# reviewer agent reads the diff against .agents/checklists/before-merge.md
.agents/scripts/worktree.sh finish 08 route-cards
```

## Which model to run each task

See [`MODEL-ROUTING.md`](MODEL-ROUTING.md).

## These files must be committed

Worktrees check out tracked files. If this plan stays untracked, every worktree
you create will be missing it. Commit `plans/` and `.agents/` before fanning
out.
