Neural sync — protocol notes

System initialization

We have entered the phase where data is no longer merely processed — it is experienced. The first measurements from test relays suggest materially higher fidelity when the stack is kept boring: static HTML, explicit caching, no runtime dependencies on the edge except TLS termination.

The transition from ad-hoc publishing to a repeatable pipeline marks the threshold where a blog becomes infrastructure.

Operational checklist

• Keep baseURL in hugo.toml aligned with your GitHub Pages URL or custom domain.
• Prefer relative links inside content; Hugo will resolve them against baseURL.
• Large media should live outside the repo or use object storage; binaries bloat Git history.

[INF] hugo --minify
[INF] publish_dir -> public/
[INF] uplink: GitHub Pages

Next steps

Wire a custom domain in the repository Settings → Pages, add A/CNAME records at your DNS provider, and commit a static/CNAME file if GitHub does not manage it automatically.
