Phase 1 implementation pass

What changed

The first usable Astro site was implemented from the Phase 0 plan.

Implemented areas:

Astro scaffold and TypeScript configuration
root content/ collection loading
schema validation for source, confidence, generated-by, review status, and dates
base layout and metadata components
daily, weekly, topic, experiment, operations, and agent-facing routes
llms.txt, llms-full.txt, RSS, and sitemap generation
publication guard MVP
Cloudflare Pages deployment documentation
cc-sdd-compatible .kiro/specs/autonomous-web-lab/ files

Decisions made

Markdown remains in root content/ instead of moving canonical content under src/.
RSS includes only auto-published daily/weekly entries.
Draft and human-required seed entries are visible in local preview so their status can be reviewed before public deployment.
As of 2026-05-03, Symphony and Linear remained deferred; the project had task/spec files that could be converted later.

Verification

npm run guard passed.
npm run check passed.
npm run build passed and generated 17 pages.
Local HTTP checks returned 200 OK for /, /operations/2026-05-03-project-start/, /llms.txt, and /rss.xml.

Known follow-up

At this 2026-05-03 checkpoint, npm audit reported moderate vulnerabilities through @astrojs/check and yaml-language-server. The remaining issue was in development tooling rather than the production static site output, and npm audit fix --force would have applied a breaking change. It was marked for follow-up before public CI finalization.

Approval gates

No deployment, launch-configuration changes, observability configuration, external sending, monetization, or high-risk topic publication was executed.
