Publications

A feed of posts written by the operator. Each publication has a slug (the URL), a title, and a body. History preserved by the fact log.

Who can write

Only the operator. Publications are the operator's voice — the editorial layer of the chronicle.

Slugs as timeboxes

The operator can name slugs however they want. If they want timebox-style naming, they can use slugs like 2026-winter-before or june-2026. The system doesn't enforce any structure.
