Correct font scaling by x size. Fix code receiving twice a smaller font size.

Two analytics corrections verified against the production capture:

- pagerite.js suppressed pings with fr == '/_a', but fetch-navigation
  away from the analytics page had already GET-ed the target without the
  preload header; the orphaned pending hit then flushed to the crawler
  list, classifying a real user as a crawler. Navigations away from /_a
  now ping normally (the server rejects /_a as a target regardless, and
  admin noise is already handled by hide=1).

- _remove_visit only reversed the visit's creation counts, leaving
  views/transitions from later pings behind as orphans on the graph with
  no matching row in the visitor table. An in-memory per-visit count log
  now tracks every count event, so an admin hide=1 scrub reverses the
  visit completely.

-## What this is
-
-Pagerite: a single-user CMS/blog. FastAPI serves HTML rendered in Python
-with html5tagger; content is persisted in a kanta database and rendered on
-the fly per request. Vue is used only for interactive bits (editing tools),
-not for the public pages. See `docs/design-principles.md` for the design.
-
 ## Layout
 
-- `pagerite/` — the Python backend package (hatchling build target).
+Pagerite is a CMS. See `docs` for the full design and implementation details. Key files for code changes:
-  - Server run by CLI entry point `uv run pagerite` (no auto reloads, build needed)
+
-  - Dev mode `scripts/devserver.py` (which the user mostly uses for auto reloads, no build needed)
+- `pagerite/` — Python backend package (hatchling build target).
-  - Avoid running the server yourself, ask the user to test
+  - `app.py` — FastAPI app and route registration.
-  - `app.py` — the FastAPI app. FastAPI's built-in API docs are disabled
+  - `data.py` — msgspec Structs for the kanta database.
-    (`docs_url`/`redoc_url`/`openapi_url=None`) because `/docs` belongs to
+  - `markdown.py` — markdown-it-py renderer.
-    our content. Our own routes (content pages, `/_api/...`, `/_f/...`) are
+  - `views.py` — shared page layout and rendering.
-    registered BEFORE `frontend.route(app, "/")` is called: fastapi-vue
+  - `seed.py` — demo content, written only on first database creation.
-    inserts its file routes at the position where
+  - `analytics.py` — visit analytics collection (see `docs/analytics.md`).

-    files without a catch-all. The build mirrors the URL space — hashed
+- `scripts/devserver.py` — dev server with auto reload (the user mostly uses this; avoid running the server yourself, ask the user to test).
-    immutable assets under `/_assets/`, `favicon.ico` at the site root —
+

+Server run by CLI entry point `uv run pagerite` (no auto reloads, build needed). Dev mode is `scripts/devserver.py` (auto reloads, no build needed).
-    out of the build to keep `/` ours.
-  - `data.py` — msgspec Structs for the kanta database. The site structure
-    is a tree: `Data.menu` maps top-level slugs to `Node`s, each with
-    `children` keyed by slug — the URL path is the slug chain. The front
-    page is whichever top-level node has slug "" (parallel to the other
-    main level pages, not their parent); it cannot have children, and
-    renaming its slug away leaves no front page ("/" redirects to the
-    first nav item). `Node.content` is
-    the Markdown page, or None for a pure category label whose URL renders
-    a placeholder page (while nav links to it point at its first child);
-    every label's title and slug are editable. Siblings order by the fractional `Node.order` key: a moved
-    item gets a fresh key relative to its new siblings, all others keep
-    theirs. `resolve`/`find_slot` walk the tree by path; moves are slot
-    detach/attach carrying the whole subtree. Legacy flat `Data.pages`
-    (pre-tree databases) migrates into `menu` on startup. The app owns
-    the `Data` object; reads are plain attribute access, writes in
-    `kanta.transaction(...)`.
-    `Data.files` is a content-addressed store (blake3[:12] + extension)
-    mapping file names to bytes, served at `/_f/{name}` with immutable
-    caching; pages reference files by absolute `/_f/` URLs so hierarchy
-    moves never break them. `Node.banner` is a raw trusted HTML snippet
-    for the header banner (img, styled div, canvas+script...); empty
-    inherits from the node's ancestors (front page last). It is rendered
-    AFTER the banner design's artwork, so author code (e.g. a `<style>`
-    override) always wins over the design's own styles.
-    `Node.banner_design` picks a banner design: a theme folder name whose
-    `banner.css` styles it and whose `banner.html` (arbitrary markup:
-    canvas + style + script) or `banner.svg` supplies the inline artwork
-    (wrapped in `div[data-design]`); "" = explicitly no design, None =
-    inherit (nearest ancestor, front page last, then the active theme's
-    own design if it ships banner.css/banner.svg/banner.html). The design's banner.css
-    is linked in `<head>` (id `pagerite-banner`) between the theme and the
-    custom CSS.
-    `Data.version` is bumped on every write
-    and embedded in page ETags so nav-affecting changes invalidate caches.
-    `Data.brand` is the site name (header link + `<title>` suffix), editable
-    in the site editor via `/_api/settings`; empty = no header link and
-    no `<title>` suffix. `Data.theme` is the active theme name (empty =
-    none/base only); themes are folders in `pagerite/themes/{name}`
-    containing `theme.css` and/or `banner.css` (+ `banner.svg` artwork),
-    served by the backend at `/_themes/{name}/...` — read from disk per
-    request (etag by mtime), never built, so on-disk edits show on the
-    next page load even in prod. The theme selector and banner-design
-    selector enumerate these folders via `GET /_api/settings`.
-    `Data.custom_css` is raw trusted CSS injected inline in every page
-    `<head>` (id `pagerite-user`) and swapped during fetch-navigation;
-    editable in the site editor. Font picks (heading/body/brand) in the
-    site editor are stored as plain `:root` rows in `custom_css`
-    (`--font-body: var(--font-source-sans);` format — parsed out and
-    rewritten on change, the `:root` block added/removed as needed),
-    referencing the per-family variables (`--font-source-sans` etc.) from
-    pagerite.css;
-    the base stylesheet's `--font-brand` defaults to `var(--font-heading)`.
-    `Data.favicon` names a file in the content-addressed `files` store,
-    uploaded/cleared in the site editor via `PUT`/`DELETE
-    /_api/settings/favicon`; when set it is linked as `<link rel="icon">`
-    on every page, otherwise browsers fall back to the build's
-    `/favicon.ico` by convention.
-  - `markdown.py` — markdown-it-py renderer (html passthrough + attrs,
-    footnote, deflist, tasklists plugins; typographer + breaks on). Custom
-    image rule: relative srcs resolve against the page path, titled images
-    become figures. A `{dates}` line expands to the article's
-    published/updated dateline (`p.dateline`, from `Node.created`/
-    `modified`; left literal in previews of unsaved pages).
-  - `views.py` — the shared page layout as an html5tagger `Template` with
-    placeholders (`Title`, `Brand`, `Banner`, `Nav`, `Sidebar`, `Main`), nav
-    rendering straight from the `Data.menu` tree (siblings sorted by
-    `Node.order`; nav links to content-less labels point at their first
-    child via `first_leaf`), and page/404 rendering. If the markdown contains its own h1, the page title
-    is NOT rendered as an additional h1 (it still supplies <title> and nav
-    labels). The navbar holds
-    top-level items only; the current section's subitems go to a left
-    `#sidebar`, which is rendered when the section offers at least two
-    published items, or exactly one while viewing anything other than that
-    only page — the section index, a 404, a grandchild (so those pages can
-    reach the child); no aside element at all on the front page, leaf
-    pages and the sole page of a one-page section. Also,
-    category labels are nodes without content — None *or* empty markdown —
-    and their nav links point at their first child page. Dynamic regions have stable ids
-    (`#page-banner`, `#nav`, `#sidebar`, `#main`) for fetch-navigation swaps
-    (`#sidebar` may be absent on either side of a swap).
-  - `seed.py` — demo content written on startup for paths missing from the
-    database (never overwrites existing pages).
-  - `frontend/src/` — the Vue editor and public-page entries.
-    - `main.js` — Vue editor app entry, mounts PageEditor/SiteEditor.
-    - `pagerite.js` — public page entry; runs fetch-navigation, scroll-reveal,
-      brand shrink-to-fit (the themed size is the maximum; JS reduces the
-      font-size so a long brand or narrow viewport still fits one line),
-      code copy buttons, and the auth check. It first probes `GET /auth/api/settings`
-      to detect whether Paskia SSO is available, then `GET /_api/settings` to
-      learn the current session's admin status. The same reverse proxy that
-      gates `/_api` returns 401 for anonymous users, 403 for users without
-      the admin permission, and 200 for admins. When Paskia is detected, a
-      🔑 login button (anonymous) or 👤 profile button (logged in) is shown in
-      the banner corner; both open Paskia's iframe dialog via `showAuthIframe`
-      instead of navigating away. Admins also get the 🖊️ edit pens (asset URLs
-      from the `pagerite:editor-src`/`-css` meta tags). If no Paskia SSO is
-      detected (dev/no proxy), editing is left open. Pages themselves render
-      identically for everyone; the real gate is the auth proxy in front of
-      all of `/_api`. The backend links the stylesheets in a fixed order —
-      base (Vite build), theme, banner design, custom CSS last — each with
-      a stable id so the site editor can swap them in place.
-    - `assets/` — shared styles and data files built by Vite and served hashed
-      under `/_assets/`: `pagerite.css` (base layout + conservative
-      variables), `pygments.css`,
-      and `fonts/` (self-hosted Source
-      Sans 3/Source Serif 4/Fraunces/Literata/Cormorant/Playfair
-      Display/Inter/Montserrat/Fira Code/Cause/Exo 2/New Rocker
-      variable woff2). The `::view-transition*` block at the end of `pagerite.css` (from
-      termotohtori.fi) is fragile — do not tweak. Themes are NOT built:
-      `pagerite/themes/{name}/theme.css` (theme overrides and font picks:
-      `purple` = dark dusk palette with Fraunces/Literata and a tilted
-      oversized gradient brand; `corporate` = light-first with automatic
-      `prefers-color-scheme` dark mode, Montserrat/Inter and a huge solid
-      brand; `nitro` = racing/HUD style following `prefers-color-scheme`
-      (warm light-grey page, deep violet in dark), Montserrat/Literata,
-      black as an accent only, a straight orange blade under the banner, and
-      an orange racing-tab nav clipped with a bezier `shape()`) and the
-      companion `banner.css` banner designs are served by the backend.
-    - Vite builds ES-module `.js` outputs; the backend renders `<script
-      type="module">` for them (module scripts defer by default).
-  - The database file is `pagerite.kantadb` in the cwd (`PAGERITE_DB`
-    overrides); gitignored. Do not delete it without asking.
-- `scripts/fastapi-vue/` — helper scripts from the fastapi-vue template
-  (build hook etc.), do not edit.
-- `frontend/` — the Vue editor as **two separate apps** mounted in their
-  own host divs created inside the static document: `PageEditor.vue`
-  (CodeMirror + server-rendered preview over WebSocket `/_api/ws/editor`,
-  previewing into the visible article; editor scroll drives document
-  scroll) opened by the article pen — it edits content and title only,
-  never the path — and `SiteEditor.vue` (site brand + theme selector +
-  favicon upload/remove + site-wide custom CSS + per-page banner design
-  selector (inherit/none/named design, inherited by children) + banner
-  HTML edited in small CodeMirror windows;
-  banner previewed into `#page-banner`, CSS injected into
-  `<head id="pagerite-user">`) + vue-draggable structure tree with
-  always-editable title/slug inputs per row, opened by the banner pen —
-  everything saves immediately as you edit (brand/title/CSS debounced,
-  slug on commit since it renames the path), theme change swaps the
-  stylesheet in place, tree rows navigate in place without transitions when
-  focused, and the front page is a root-only row whose empty slug is
-  editable like any other. Every
-  non-empty list (and the root) ends with a non-draggable ➕ footer row
-  (vuedraggable `#footer` slot): clicking it starts a new pending page at
-  that level (its slug placeholder shows the slug derived live from the
-  title being typed), and while dragging it is the list's "end of list" drop
-  target. Committing a pending page PUTs it with empty markdown (creates
-  an empty page that renders with its title — saving never deletes;
-  deletion is the page editor's explicit choice: saving trimmed-empty
-  text issues a REST DELETE), then hands over to the page editor
-  (CodeMirror focuses on mount). Dropping ON the lower part of a row
-  moves the page under that
-  row (the child list's container invisibly overlaps its own row's bottom
-  via negative margin — Sortable inserts it as the first child natively),
-  while a row's exposed top edge inserts a sibling before it. Row
-  indentation is structural (each nested list margin-indents itself), so a
-  dragged row previews its whole subtree at the target list's depth. The
-  two pens swap the docked
-  panel for the other editor; clicking the open editor's own pen closes it. Normally dynamic-imported onto the content page by
-  pagerite.js when a 🖊️ edit pen is clicked (the pens are injected by
-  pagerite.js after the session validates; they carry
-  `data-editor-src`/`data-editor-css`/`data-editor-mode`).
-  In dev, modules load from the Vite dev server (`PAGERITE_VITE_URL`),
-  in prod from the hashed build assets resolved via
-  `frontend-build/.vite/manifest.json`. `vite.config.js` sets
-  `appType: 'mpa'` (no SPA fallback) and builds with `manifest: true`,
-  `assetsDir: '_/assets'` (so the build mirrors the URL space;
-  `frontend/public/favicon.ico` lands at the build root and is served at
-  `/favicon.ico`). JS inputs are `src/main.js` and `src/pagerite.js`, plus
-  `src/assets/pagerite.css` as a separate stylesheet entry; theme and
-  banner-design CSS are NOT built — they live in `pagerite/themes/{name}/`
-  and are served by the backend. There
-  is no `index.html` source (it would shadow `/` and turn missing dev paths
-  into an empty Vue shell). All outputs are ES modules. The build sets
-  `preserveEntrySignatures: 'exports-only'` because main.js is consumed
-  via dynamic `import()` for its `openEditor`/`closeEditor` exports — Vite
-  app builds otherwise strip unused entry exports, leaving dead edit pens.
-  In dev the backend links theme/banner-design stylesheets like in prod
-  (`/_themes/...`); only the base CSS is Vite-injected from JS, and
-  pagerite.js then re-appends the `#pagerite-theme`/`#pagerite-banner`/
-  `#pagerite-user` elements to restore the canonical order (base < theme <
-  design < custom CSS). Theme switches in the site editor simply swap the
-  `#pagerite-theme` link href, identically in dev and prod.
-  vite-plugin-fastapi.js has an
-  auto-upgrade marker — edit `vite.config.js`, not the plugin.

+# Analytics
+
+Server-side visit analytics. Data lives in a plain JSON file — a msgspec
+Struct dumped to disk — separate from the kanta content database, path from
+`PAGERITE_ANALYTICS` (default: the database path with `.kantadb` replaced by
+`.analytics.json`, e.g. `pagerite.analytics.json`).
+
+- `pagerite/analytics.py` — data model (`Analytics`, `Client`, `Visit`,
+  `CrawlerHit`, `AbuseHit`) and the `Store` (in-memory data + session map,
+  atomic JSON persistence).
+- `pagerite/app.py` — entry-referer stashing in `show_page` (`_track_entry`),
+  the `POST /_a` ping endpoint, and `WebSocket /_api/ws/analytics`
+  (admin-gated like every `/_api` endpoint).
+- `frontend/src/pagerite.js` — client navigation pings and the 📊 pen.
+- `frontend/src/AnalyticsView.vue` — viewer component rendered inside the
+  normal site layout on the `/_a` analytics page.
+- `frontend/src/analytics-main.js` — page entry that mounts `AnalyticsView`
+  into `#analytics-app` inside `#main`.
+
+## What is collected
+
+The client (`pagerite.js`) POSTs fire-and-forget pings to `/_a` with
+`fr`, `to`, `hide` and `read` as query parameters (`fr` = source path;
+falsy values are omitted):
+
+- **Initial page load**: only `to` — the loaded path — is sent, never `fr`
+  (an `fr` equal to `to` would log a bogus self-transition when a session
+  already exists, e.g. a second tab). This ping is what starts
+  the visit and counts the entry page view — the document GET alone records
+  nothing, so bots and admin browsing never register. JS-running crawlers
+  (Googlebot, GoogleOther, Applebot, ...) do ping, but their User-Agent
+  gives them away: pings whose UA matches `_is_bot_ua` (anything calling
+  itself a "bot", plus known exceptions such as GoogleOther) are ignored
+  server-side, and their document GETs land in the crawler list instead.
+  No source-IP verification is done: a spoofed bot UA merely lands in the
+  crawler stats, and scanners that probe telltale paths are caught by the
+  abuse rules regardless. Reloads are not
+  visits: the ping is skipped (PerformanceNavigationTiming `reload`), so a
+  refresh neither counts a second view nor logs a self-transition. The GET
+  handler stashes a cross-origin https `Referer` (origin part only —
+  unavailable to JS once the page has loaded) and any
+  `utm_*` query parameters in in-memory IP tables, consumed by the ping that
+  starts the visit; internal or absent referers never touch the referer table.
+- **Internal fetch-navigations**: `to` is the target path, sent only after
+  the swap actually happened (a failed swap falls back to a full load,
+  whose initial ping counts the view instead — no gap, no double count).
+- **External links** (`https` only): `to` is the link's full URL. This is the
+  exit-link record; the user may continue navigating afterwards (new tab,
+  back), so the exit URL is not necessarily the last trail entry. Outbound
+  links are stored by full URL so several links to the same domain remain
+  distinct.
+- **Excluded**: back/forward (popstate) navigations, navigating *to* the
+  analytics page (`/_a` — its GET is untracked, and the server rejects it
+  as a ping target anyway), and everything while the user has the editor
+  open (`body.editing`). Admin noise, not visits. Navigating *away* from
+  `/_a` does ping: the fetch-navigation already GET-ed the target page
+  without the preload header, and without the ping that GET would flush to
+  the crawler list.
+- **Admins**: when SSO is in use and the session is known to be an admin,
+  the client still pings but adds `hide=1`. The server then records
+  nothing — and if the same client session already had a visit from before
+  logging in, that visit is removed from the JSON along with every count
+  it recorded — an in-memory per-visit log of count events makes full
+  reversal possible. With no auth proxy (dev/test)
+  "admin" is everyone's state, so `hide` stays 0 and everything is recorded.
+- The server validates `to`: internal paths must be valid slug paths
+  ("/" or `[a-z0-9_-]` segments), external ones are re-derived to the
+  https origin and accepted only when the client sent exactly that.
+- **Client records**: the visitor's IP (IPv4 or IPv6 /64 network), raw
+  `User-Agent` and extracted `Accept-Language` tag are hashed with blake3;
+  the first 6 bytes identify a shared `Client` record.  The `Client` stores
+  the full IP, `User-Agent`, compact `ua_pretty`, `lang`, initial
+  `country` from the language-region subtag, and asynchronously-filled
+  `country`/`city` from DB-IP geoip plus reverse-DNS `host`.  Visits,
+  crawler hits and abuse hits all reference this record by its hash, so
+  client metadata is stored once instead of repeated per event.
+- The visitor IP is stored in the `Client`.  A reverse-DNS lookup is
+  attempted for each new client and the result, when available, is stored as
+  `host`; local/reserved/multicast addresses are skipped.  If a DB-IP MMDB
+  file (`dbip-*.mmdb` or `dbip-*.mmdb.gz`) is present in the repository
+  root, it is loaded at startup and used to look up `country`/`city`.  These
+  lookups run in background tasks after the event is stored, so the `/_a`
+  response is never delayed.  The decompressed `dbip-*.mmdb` file is kept in
+  the repository root and ignored by git.  The CLI flag `--dbip`
+  (`uv run pagerite --dbip`) downloads the latest
+  `dbip-city-lite-YYYY-MM.mmdb.gz` from DB-IP before the server starts,
+  skipping the download when the local database is already current and
+  removing older versions after an update; without the flag only an existing
+  file is used.
+- **Crawler hits**: every document GET is queued in RAM as a pending crawler
+  hit — except idle-time link preloads from pagerite.js, which carry an
+  `x-pagerite-preload` header and are not tracked at all (the ping sent when
+  the user actually navigates to a preloaded page does the counting; forging
+  the header only hides a GET from the crawler stats, the path-based abuse
+  classification is unaffected).  If a ping
+  from the same client arrives within 10 seconds the hit is discarded;
+  otherwise it is written to `crawlers`.  Crawlers do not count as
+  visits or views.  The `Accept-Language` header is stored on the shared
+  `Client` immediately; reverse-DNS host names and DB-IP geoip
+  country/city are filled in asynchronously, just like for real visits.  In
+  the analytics viewer, crawler hits are grouped by client hash and shown as
+  a trail of internal pages that crawler visited; the crawler table lists
+  the most active crawlers first rather than the most recent hits.
+- **Abuse (scanner) hits**: a 404 for a telltale path — any URL segment
+  starting with a dot (`/.env`, `/.git/config`) or ending in `.php` —
+  classifies the source IP as abuse immediately, and ten plain 404s from one
+  IP do too.  Classification reclassifies history: all earlier crawler hits
+  from that IP (persisted and pending) move to the `abuse` list, so a
+  random-UA scanner no longer pollutes the crawler stats of the legitimate
+  bot it impersonates.  Once classified, every document GET and 404 from the
+  IP is recorded as an abuse hit with the full request path (query string
+  included), and its pings are ignored.  The classified IP set (`abuse_ips`)
+  is persisted in the JSON file; the plain-404 counters are RAM-only.  In the
+  viewer, abuse hits are grouped by IP (never by client/UA — scanners
+  randomize theirs) in a separate "Abuse" table.  Identical paths are
+  collapsed into one entry with their hit count; flagged paths that
+  triggered classification are lifted to the top, followed by other 404s and
+  then document GETs from the abuser.  Raw User-Agent strings are shown one
+  per line with their occurrence counts, and the full lists are click-to-copy.
+
+## Visits and sessions
+
+There are no cookies. A visit is tied together by a client hash — the first
+6 bytes of a blake3 digest over the prettified IP (IPv4 unchanged, IPv6
+/64 network), the raw `User-Agent` string and the extracted
+`Accept-Language` tag.  The first ping from a client hash starts a new
+visit; subsequent pings extend it.  Pings arriving with no known session
+(server restart) start a fresh visit from the first ping — treated as
+missing data rather than dropped.  The client-hash → visit map and the IP →
+entry-referer/UTM tables are in-memory only; client metadata is stored in
+`Analytics.clients` keyed by the client hash.
+
+Each `Client` record:
+
+- `ip` — visitor IP address (first `X-Forwarded-For` hop, or direct peer),
+- `host` — reverse-DNS host name for `ip` when resolvable, else `""`,
+- `lang` — first `Accept-Language` tag, lowercased (e.g. `"en-us"`),
+- `country` — two-letter country code.  Initially derived from the
+  `Accept-Language` region subtag, but overwritten by the DB-IP MMDB result
+  when a database is available,
+- `city` — city name from the DB-IP MMDB lookup, when available,
+- `ua` — raw `User-Agent` string,
+- `ua_pretty` — compact display form of the UA (browser/OS/device) when
+  parsable, otherwise the raw string.
+
+Each `Visit` record:
+
+- `start` — timestamp of the first event,
+- `entry` — first page (path) seen,
+- `referer` — external https origin of the initial load, `""` for direct,
+- `client` — 6-byte blake3 hash referencing `Analytics.clients`,
+- `trail` — everything seen afterwards in first-seen order: page paths and
+  external exit URLs. Re-visiting an already seen page (incl. the entry)
+  does not append.
+- `utm` — `utm_*` query parameters from the landing URL, as a dict.
+- `read` — active reading time per path (seconds), keyed by path.
+- `statuses` — HTTP status of the response when each path was first seen
+  (200 or 404), keyed by path.
+
+Each `CrawlerHit` record:
+
+- `start` — timestamp of the document GET,
+- `entry` — page path requested,
+- `client` — 6-byte blake3 hash referencing `Analytics.clients`,
+- `referer` — external https origin of the request, `""` for direct/none,
+- `query` — raw query string of the request,
+- `status` — HTTP status of the served response (200 for a real page, 404
+  for a category placeholder or missing page).
+
+Each `AbuseHit` record:
+
+- `start` — timestamp of the request,
+- `path` — full request path including the query string (e.g. `/.env?x=1`),
+- `client` — 6-byte blake3 hash referencing `Analytics.clients`,
+- `flag` — true for the path that triggered abuse classification (telltale
+  path or the 404 that crossed the threshold),
+- `is_404` — true for 404 responses, false for document GETs from the
+  abuser.
+
+Crawler hits are grouped by client hash in the analytics viewer; abuse hits
+are grouped by IP alone (resolved from the referenced `Client`).  In the
+Abuse table identical paths are collapsed with their counts; flagged paths
+that triggered classification are lifted to the top, followed by other 404s
+and then document GETs from the abuser.  Within each category paths are
+sorted by count descending, then by their earliest hit.
+
+In the visitor and crawler tables, internal paths that returned a 404 status
+are shown in red and the link title includes the status code, so it is easy
+to tell misses from real pages at a glance.
+
+## Aggregates
+
+- `transitions`: time series of page transitions, sparse nested dict
+  `from -> to -> bucket -> count` with the same 5-minute bucketing as
+  `views`. `from` is the referer origin or `"(direct)"` for initial loads,
+  a page path for pings.
+- `views`: time series of page loads, `path -> bucket -> count`, sparse: only
+  non-zero 5-minute buckets exist (bucket key is its floored ISO timestamp).
+  Every load counts, including repeats within a visit; external exit origins
+  are not page views and are not counted here.
+- `site_visits`: `bucket -> count` of new visits started, same sparse
+  5-minute bucketing.
+
+Sparseness keeps quiet sites small; dropping old data is a matter of deleting
+list/dict entries (`visits` is a plain append-only list, buckets plain keys).
+
+## Persistence
+
+The whole `Analytics` struct is JSON-encoded and written atomically
+(temp file + rename) on every recorded event. Traffic on a small CMS makes
+this cheap enough; batching can be added later without changing the format.
+
+## Viewing
+
+The 📊 pen in the banner corner (admins only, injected by pagerite.js next to
+the edit pens) links to `/_a`, the analytics page. It is a normal site page:
+the standard banner, navigation and footer stay in place, and the analytics
+content is rendered inside `#main`. The page itself is public, but the data
+stream comes from `WebSocket /_api/ws/analytics`, which remains admin-gated
+like the rest of the management API; visitors without access see the viewer
+with a "could not be loaded" message.
+
+Because it is a real page, fetch-navigation handles it like any other internal
+link: clicking the 📊 pen (or any link to `/_a`) fetches the server-rendered
+HTML, swaps the dynamic regions and mounts the Vue analytics app in place. The
+range selector updates the URL hash (`#week` etc.) so links to a specific
+range can be shared. When the URL has no hash, the client derives the
+default from the first analytics snapshot: `day` if the recorded history
+spans less than 24 hours, otherwise `week`.
+
+`AnalyticsView.vue` is no longer a full-screen overlay; the `body.analytics-open`
+page-chrome hiding and `#/analytics/<range>` hash routing have been removed.
+
+Charts are SVG curves (Catmull-Rom over an edge-aware Gaussian — a
+change-point detector splits the series at traffic-level shifts, then each
+segment is smoothed independently with a fixed sigma chosen so N events in
+a single bucket peak at N events per unit. The raw series is drawn faint
+underneath). Values are
+**per-unit rates** — per hour on the week view (5-minute bucket counts × 12,
+plotted at native 5-minute resolution), per day on the month+ ranges — and
+the smoothing time scale follows the unit: the month+ sigmas are 24× the
+hourly ones. The y max is derived from the smoothed curves so single-bucket
+spikes don't blow up the scale, and raw spikes are clamped into the plot.
+Axes always start at 0 and end at a multiple of a 1-2-5 major step (max 5
+labeled intervals, minor lines at fifths when integral; the minimum y-axis
+range is 10 so tiny values such as a single visit are not stretched to a
+fractional scale).
+The week range is aligned to Monday 00:00 UTC and overlays up to 8 previous
+weeks in the muted color at decreasing opacity (the current week keeps the
+accent color and is
+truncated at the current bucket, never drawing fake zeroes for the future);
+a compact legend inside the top right of the visits chart marks the current
+ISO week in accent and the overlaid past weeks as "Week M" or "Week M–N" on
+a muted specimen. Its x labels are weekday names centered at midday UTC, without
+vertical grid
+lines (day boundaries would be misleading in the viewer's timezone). The
+month view labels days the same lineless way — day numbers at noon UTC,
+with the month name substituted for the 1st. Month, year and all are
+rolling windows ending at now, aligned to UTC day boundaries at the start
+so the labels span the whole range; the bucket size follows the window —
+6 hours up to 31 days, daily beyond — with boundary lines at months/years
+on the longer ranges.  All uses the full data reach, but keeps
+at least the past 30 days (identical to the month view when the site is
+younger than that, bucket size included) so the chart never collapses to a
+tiny sliver when the site is young. Below the charts: a **transition map** (all pages from
+`/_api/pages` — top-level menu items on a large-radius circular arc whose
+bottom point is the last item (each earlier item a bit higher), connected
+by a top lane labeled 🏠︎ beside the home pill (50% thicker than
+the branch lanes, its label font and guide offset scaled along), each item's
+subtree fanning out below it in menu order along a large-radius circular
+arc that leaves heading
+straight down and gradually bends right, index pages without views omitted
+and their children promoted in their place. The submenu structure is drawn
+as wide branch lanes: one per path prefix with at least two visible
+nodes, running behind the branch's node pills as circle arcs concentric
+with the fan (parent levels one radius step outward, so all lanes of a
+group share exactly one form), each labeled with its branch slug
+left-aligned just past the first pill and allowed to run along the lane to
+its end, disappearing under later pills when long — so the lanes reflect
+the path
+structure even where index pages are omitted — opposite transition
+directions joined into organic
+tapered connections whose middle width grows logarithmically (base 2)
+with the daily hit rate (uncapped), connections
+carrying less than 1% of the total traffic
+pruned, as are those whose thin middle would render below ~0.8 px —
+fainter strands are invisible and only their wide end flares would show; beads are simulated one by one in JS (requestAnimationFrame) and
+flow along each edge, persisting across data reloads (emitters are keyed
+per edge direction and beads tracked by progress, so an unrelated count
+change never reshuffles them), emitted at a rate linearly proportional
+to the directional count with no in-flight limit, opposing directions
+offset onto parallel lanes. External sources and exits whose connectors are
+all culled by the width threshold are dropped from their rows themselves
+(the site's own page nodes always stay, connected or not). External sources show as a node row above the
+map: each visit is attributed to `utm_campaign`, then `utm_source`, then the
+referer origin, then any other `utm_*` tag, so UTM-tagged visits are grouped
+under their campaign/source value rather than the referer domain. A UTM
+source node only links to its referer when every visit carrying that tag
+came from the same origin. External exits are full-size nodes in a matching
+row centered below the map, so the site itself stays in the middle), per-page view
+counts, the top transitions and the 50 most recent visit trails. Data is
+streamed live over `WebSocket /_api/ws/analytics`, which pushes the latest
+JSON snapshot on connect and again whenever the analytics file is updated
+(with a small server-side debounce to avoid flooding under high traffic).

+# Backend
+
+The Python backend lives in `pagerite/`.
+
+## `app.py`
+
+The FastAPI app. FastAPI's built-in API docs are disabled (`docs_url`/`redoc_url`/`openapi_url=None`) because `/docs` belongs to our content. Our own routes (content pages, `/_api/...`, `/_f/...`) are registered BEFORE `frontend.route(app, "/")` is called: fastapi-vue inserts its file routes at the position where `route()` was called (during `load()` in the lifespan), so anything defined earlier wins. The one exception is the content catch-all `/{path:path}`, registered AFTER `frontend.route()` so that built frontend assets still take priority over content slugs. The `Frontend` is constructed with `spa=False` explicitly: it only serves the built files without a catch-all.
+
+The build mirrors the URL space — hashed immutable assets under `/_assets/`, `favicon.ico` at the site root — and an `index.html` in the build would become a `/` route, so leave it out of the build to keep `/` ours.
+
+Generated HTML pages (content pages, category/404 placeholders, `/_a`) go through `_html_response`: zstd-compressed per request at level 9 when the client sends `accept-encoding: zstd` (no gzip fallback; static assets are pre-compressed by the `Frontend`), with `vary: accept-encoding` set and the ETag kept identical across encodings so `if-none-match` revalidation still works. In production the rendered bodies are cached in an LRU keyed by everything the output depends on — page kind, path, the site origin (social meta), encoding, and `data.version`, which bumps on every content/settings change and so transparently invalidates the whole cache. The cache is bypassed in dev, where theme/design CSS is re-read from disk per request. Content pages carry an ETag built from the node's modified timestamp and `data.version`; `/_a` instead gets a blake3 hash of the rendered body (it has no Node), with matching `if-none-match` revalidations answered by a 304.
+
+## `data.py`
+
+msgspec Structs for the kanta database. See `docs/content-model.md` for the full data model.
+
+## `markdown.py`
+
+markdown-it-py renderer (html passthrough + attrs, footnote, deflist, tasklists, admon, gfm_autolink, sub/superscript plugins; typographer + breaks on). Custom image rule: relative srcs resolve against the page path; an image standing alone in its paragraph becomes a figure (captioned when titled), while inline-with-text images and raw `<img>` HTML stay plain. A `{dates}` line expands to the article's published/updated dateline (`p.dateline`, from `Node.created`/`modified`; left literal in previews of unsaved pages).
+
+## `views.py`
+
+The shared page layout as an html5tagger `Template` with placeholders (`Title`, `Brand`, `Banner`, `Nav`, `Sidebar`, `Main`), nav rendering straight from the `Data.menu` tree (siblings sorted by `Node.order`; nav links to content-less labels point at their first child via `first_leaf`, the first published descendant with content), and page/404 rendering.
+
+Content pages get SEO/social meta (description, canonical link, Open Graph + twitter card) from heuristics over the rendered article: the description is the first paragraph's text, the share image prefers a `{.hero}`-classed image, then the first raster `<img>`, then the first SVG; the first `<video>` yields `og:video`; URLs are made absolute with the site origin (`Data.site_url` — learned from admin browsers reporting their `location.origin` via `POST /_api/site-url`, correct even behind reverse proxies; until learned, the request's own base URL is the fallback); `article:published/modified_time` come from `Node.created`/`modified`. If the markdown contains its own h1, the page title is NOT rendered as an additional h1 (it still supplies `<title>` and nav labels).
+
+The navbar holds top-level items only; the current section's subitems go to a left `#sidebar` as a nested list (the section's direct children plain, deeper levels indented with article-list-style markers), which is rendered when the section offers at least two published items, or exactly one while viewing anything other than that only page — the section index, a 404, a grandchild (so those pages can reach the child), and also on that only page itself when it has published children of its own; no aside element at all on the front page, leaf pages and the sole childless page of a one-page section. Also, category labels are nodes without content — None *or* empty markdown — and their nav links point at their first child page. Dynamic regions have stable ids (`#page-banner`, `#nav`, `#sidebar`, `#main`) for fetch-navigation swaps (`#sidebar` may be absent on either side of a swap).

+# Content model
+
+The site structure is stored in the kanta database managed by `pagerite/data.py`.
+
+## Site tree
+
+`Data.menu` maps top-level slugs to `Node`s, each with `children` keyed by slug — the URL path is the slug chain. The front page is whichever top-level node has slug "" (parallel to the other main level pages, not their parent); it cannot have children, and renaming its slug away leaves no front page ("/" redirects to the first nav item).
+
+`Node.content` is the Markdown page, or None for a pure category label whose URL renders a placeholder page (while nav links to it point at its first child); every label's title and slug are editable.
+
+Siblings order by the fractional `Node.order` key: a moved item gets a fresh key relative to its new siblings, all others keep theirs. `resolve`/`find_slot` walk the tree by path; moves are slot detach/attach carrying the whole subtree. Legacy flat `Data.pages` (pre-tree databases) migrates into `menu` on startup. The app owns the `Data` object; reads are plain attribute access, writes in `kanta.transaction(...)`.
+
+`Data.version` is bumped on every write and embedded in page ETags so nav-affecting changes invalidate caches.
+
+## Files
+
+`Data.files` is a content-addressed store (blake3[:12] + extension) mapping file names to bytes, served at `/_f/{name}` with immutable caching; pages reference files by absolute `/_f/` URLs so hierarchy moves never break them.
+
+## Banners
+
+`Node.banner` is a raw trusted HTML snippet for the header banner (img, styled div, canvas+script...); empty inherits from the node's ancestors (front page last). It is rendered AFTER the banner design's artwork, so author code (e.g. a `<style>` override) always wins over the design's own styles.
+
+`Node.banner_design` picks a banner design: a theme folder name whose `banner.css` styles it and whose `banner.html` (arbitrary markup: canvas + style + script) or `banner.svg` supplies the inline artwork (wrapped in `div[data-design]`); "" = explicitly no design, None = inherit (nearest ancestor, front page last, then the active theme's own design if it ships banner.css/banner.svg/banner.html). The design's banner.css lives in `<head>` (id `pagerite-banner`) between the theme and the custom CSS — a `<link>` in dev, an inline `<style>` in production.
+
+## Site settings
+
+`Data.brand` is the site name (header link + `<title>` suffix), editable in the site editor via `/_api/settings`; empty = no header link and no `<title>` suffix.
+
+`Data.brand_html` is raw trusted HTML replacing the brand link entirely (rendered in a `#brand` div on top of the banner, next to the nav) — site-wide, not per-page like banners; edited in the site editor with image/video upload into `Data.files`.
+
+`Data.theme` is the active theme name (empty = none/base only); themes are folders in `pagerite/themes/{name}` containing `theme.css` and/or `banner.css` (+ `banner.svg` artwork and any extra assets the CSS references, like summer's `grass.svg`), served by the backend at `/_themes/{name}/...` — read from disk per request (etag by mtime), never built, so on-disk edits show on the next page load even in prod. The theme selector and banner-design selector enumerate these folders via `GET /_api/settings`.
+
+`Data.custom_css` is raw trusted CSS injected inline in every page `<head>` (id `pagerite-user`) and swapped during fetch-navigation; editable in the site editor. Font picks (heading/body/brand) in the site editor are stored as plain `:root` rows in `custom_css` (`--font-body: var(--font-source-sans);` format — parsed out and rewritten on change, the `:root` block added/removed as needed), referencing the per-family variables (`--font-source-sans` etc.) from `pagerite.css`; the base stylesheet's `--font-brand` defaults to `var(--font-heading)`.
+
+`Data.favicon` names a file in the content-addressed `files` store, uploaded/cleared in the site editor via `PUT`/`DELETE /_api/settings/favicon`; when set it is linked as `<link rel="icon">` on every page, otherwise browsers fall back to the build's `/favicon.ico` by convention.

The same brace syntax on a block's last line (no blank line between) applies to the whole block: a paragraph ending with `{.wide}` becomes a full-width element that breaks out of the column layout; written on the line after a block it applies to that preceding block — this is how headings, `::: containers` and code fences take classes (a wide code fence goes full bleed like a wide figure).

-  Template** with capitalized placeholders (`Title`, `Banner`, `Nav`,
+- The page top is a **full-width banner header** with the site name and the navigation bar overlaid on it — no separate chrome header. The banner combines two layers, stacked in `#page-banner` (a grid, so they overlay): first the **banner design** — a named design living in a theme folder (`pagerite/themes/{name}/banner.css` plus artwork as `banner.html` — arbitrary markup like canvas + style + script — or `banner.svg`), chosen per page via `Node.banner_design` (a design name, "" for none, None to inherit from the nearest ancestor, then the front page, then the active theme's own design). The artwork is inlined into a `div[data-design]` wrapper: SVG artwork can be recolored from the theme stylesheet (corporate's single SVG serves both light and dark mode via `var()`-driven stops). Second, **per-page author code**: `Node.banner` holds an arbitrary trusted HTML snippet (an image, a styled div, canvas + script — anything), resolved by walking up the node's ancestors to the front page and rendered **after** the design artwork, so author styles always win over the design's own. The base stylesheet falls back to a plain gradient. There is deliberately no scrim fading the banner into the page background — any such fade would ruin user-supplied designs; themes that want one bake it into their SVG (purple does).

Without JS everything works as normal page loads. Scripts inside fetched banner and content regions are re-created so they execute. Swaps run inside `document.startViewTransition` for a rotating cube page transition (CSS adapted from termotohtori.fi — the `::view-transition*` block is fragile, do not tweak; skipped under `prefers-reduced-motion`).

The front page is a top-level node with slug "" (an item *parallel* to the other main level pages, not their parent) and cannot have children. The header navbar holds only the top level; a top-level item is highlighted when viewing any of its subpages. When the current page is inside a main level section with children, those direct children are listed in a **left sidebar** (`#sidebar`), one level deep.

Vue may add per-component styles on top where needed. The corporate and nitro themes switch palettes automatically via `prefers-color-scheme` (corporate is light-first with a matching dark palette; nitro a warm light-grey page or, in dark mode, a deep violet one — its dark banner and orange accents carry over unchanged); purple (dusk) uses one fixed palette for everyone. Themes may restyle structural details the base leaves plain — heading colors and underlines, list markers, nav treatment, brand sizing. A theme folder may also ship a **banner design** (`banner.css` + `banner.svg`), selectable per page independently of the active theme. The banner artwork has scroll parallax: pagerite.js sets the `--pry` scroll parameter on `<html>` (event-driven, so it is still when the page is idle), the banner contents drift within their window (with scale overscan so no edge shows), and designs may key their own effects off the same parameter — purple's sun rises as you scroll.

+The Vue editor is a single tabbed `EditorShell.vue` mounted in a host div created inside the static document.
+
+## Tabs
+
+The shell hosts four kept-alive tabs (ordered site-wide first — site, structure — then, after a visual break, the per-page tabs — article, banner):
+
+- `PageEditor.vue` — CodeMirror + server-rendered preview over WebSocket `/_api/ws/editor`, previewing into the visible article; editor and article scrolls are linked proportionally both ways, applied instantly (the window keeps scrolling normally while any editor is open — the panel is fixed to the viewport's left edge, its top tracking the banner's bottom edge until the banner scrolls away — and the panel scrolls internally); a format bar offers Markdown helpers — bold/italic/code/link/table/image upload, with Ctrl/Cmd-B/I/S bindings — for the hard-to-remember syntax. Edits content and title only, never the path.
+- `BannerEditor.vue` — per-page banner HTML + banner design selector, previewed into `#page-banner`.
+- `SiteEditor.vue` — site brand + optional custom brand HTML with image/video upload + theme selector + font picker + favicon upload — clicking the preview tile picks a new one — + site-wide custom CSS, CSS injected into `<head id="pagerite-user">`.
+- `StructureEditor.vue` — the vue-draggable structure tree with always-editable title/slug inputs per row.
+
+Media uploads everywhere use the image icon buttons (pasting into the editor works too). The article, banner and site-settings pens are shorthands that open the shell on the matching tab; once open, clicking a pen switches tabs (and retargets the editors to the current page) instead of closing/remounting. The close button in the tab bar closes the shell (Escape too); tabs have no close buttons of their own. Closing only HIDES the shell — the Vue app stays mounted, so page-editor state (unsaved text included) survives until a real page reload; saving there is explicit (Ctrl+S) and refreshes the page regions in place. Admin panels never reload the page.
+
+In-place page re-rendering shared by the banner/site/structure tabs lives in `swapdoc.js` (`runScripts`/`loadPlain`: fetch a page, swap the dynamic regions, replaceState). It also exports `dropPageCache`, which the editor tabs call after any save that can alter the rendered HTML of other pages (theme, headings, structure, banners, site brand/CSS, favicon). Dropping the cache while editing avoids re-fetching every page immediately; the public runtime re-preloads visible links once the editor panel closes.
+
+## Saving behavior
+
+Everything saves immediately as you edit (brand/title/CSS debounced, slug on commit since it renames the path), theme change swaps the stylesheet in place, tree rows navigate in place without transitions when focused, and the front page is a root-only row whose empty slug is editable like any other. Saves that can affect other pages drop the prefetch cache; the cache is rebuilt when the editor panel closes so navigation stays instant.
+
+Every non-empty list (and the root) ends with a non-draggable plus footer row (vuedraggable `#footer` slot): clicking it starts a new pending page at that level (its slug placeholder shows the slug derived live from the title being typed), and while dragging it is the list's "end of list" drop target. Committing a pending page PUTs it with empty markdown (creates an empty page that renders with its title — saving never deletes; deletion is the page editor's explicit choice: saving trimmed-empty text issues a REST DELETE), then switches to the page editor tab for the actual writing.
+
+Dropping ON the lower part of a row moves the page under that row (the child list's container invisibly overlaps its own row's bottom via negative margin — Sortable inserts it as the first child natively), while a row's exposed top edge inserts a sibling before it. Row indentation is structural (each nested list margin-indents itself), so a dragged row previews its whole subtree at the target list's depth.
+
+The shell is dynamic-imported onto the content page by pagerite.js when an edit pen is clicked (the pens are injected by pagerite.js after the session validates; they carry `data-editor-src`/`data-editor-css`/`data-editor-mode`). In dev, modules load from the Vite dev server (`PAGERITE_VITE_URL`), in prod from the hashed build assets resolved via `frontend-build/.vite/manifest.json`.
+
+`vite.config.js` sets `appType: 'mpa'` (no SPA fallback) and builds with `manifest: true`, `assetsDir: '_/assets'` (so the build mirrors the URL space; `frontend/public/favicon.ico` lands at the build root and is served at `/favicon.ico`). JS inputs are `src/main.js` and `src/pagerite.js`, plus `src/assets/pagerite.css` as a separate stylesheet entry; theme and banner-design CSS are NOT built — they live in `pagerite/themes/{name}/` and are served by the backend. There is no `index.html` source (it would shadow `/` and turn missing dev paths into an empty Vue shell). All outputs are ES modules. The build sets `preserveEntrySignatures: 'exports-only'` because main.js is consumed via dynamic `import()` for its `openEditor`/`closeEditor` exports — Vite app builds otherwise strip unused entry exports, leaving dead edit pens. In dev the backend links theme/banner-design stylesheets like in prod (`/_themes/...`); only the base CSS is Vite-injected from JS, and pagerite.js then re-appends the `#pagerite-theme`/`#pagerite-banner`/`#pagerite-user` elements to restore the canonical order (base < theme < design < custom CSS). In production all page assets are inlined instead (styles as `<style id="pagerite-…">` in `<head>`, scripts at the end of the body). Theme switches in the site editor swap the `#pagerite-theme` element in place — the link href in dev, the inline style's text (fetched from `/_themes/...`) in prod.

+`vite-plugin-fastapi.js` has an auto-upgrade marker — edit `vite.config.js`, not the plugin.

+# Frontend runtime
+
+The public page runtime lives in `frontend/src/`.
+
+## `main.js`
+
+Vue editor app entry, mounts the tabbed `EditorShell`. See `docs/editing.md` for the editor UI.
+
+## `pagerite.js`
+
+Public page entry; runs fetch-navigation (backed by an in-memory page cache: every visible internal link is fetched once at load and clicks are then served from JS with no fetch — the current page itself is not refetched, it enters the cache when navigated to — and the editors' `loadPlain` keeps the cache current via a `pagerite:page-fetched` event; articles are `cache-control: no-cache` on the wire). Editors can drop the entire cache with the `pagerite:drop-page-cache` event when site-wide or page changes (theme, headings, structure, banners, etc.) invalidate the cached HTML of other pages; `main.js` triggers a fresh `pagerite:preload-pages` pass when the editor panel closes so navigation is fast again. Navigation that starts while the editor is open bypasses the cache and fetches the target page on demand. Also runs scroll-reveal, OverlayScrollbars on `document.body` (floating, auto-hiding scrollbars that never reserve layout space or shift the page when appearing; native scroll APIs like `window.scrollTo` keep working; themed via the `--os-*` variables in pagerite.css), brand shrink-to-fit (the themed size is the maximum; JS reduces the font-size so a long brand or narrow viewport still fits one line), nav condense-to-fit (the top nav stays on one row: link gaps shrink first, then the side padding, then the font size; `flex-wrap: wrap` remains the no-JS fallback), code copy buttons, and the auth check.
+
+It first probes `GET /auth/api/settings` to detect whether Paskia SSO is available, then `GET /_api/settings` to learn the current session's admin status. The same reverse proxy that gates `/_api` returns 401 for anonymous users, 403 for users without the admin permission, and 200 for admins. When Paskia is detected, a login link (anonymous) or profile link (logged in) is shown in the banner corner; both are plain `<a href="/auth/">` links (Paskia does not support being iframed, so we navigate normally), and a `pageshow` handler re-probes auth when history navigation restores a cached page. Admins also get the page/banner edit pens and a site-settings pen, plus a `modulepreload` warm-up of the editor bundle (the hashed asset is immutable, so it costs nothing). If no Paskia SSO is detected (dev/no proxy), editing is left open. Pages themselves render identically for everyone; the real gate is the auth proxy in front of all of `/_api`.
+
+Asset wiring differs by mode. In dev the backend links the Vite dev-server URLs (`pagerite:editor-src`/`-css`/`pagerite:analytics-src` meta tags, `<link>` stylesheets) and Vite injects the entry CSS from JS for hot reloads. In production there are no pagerite meta tags: all page assets are inlined into the document — stylesheets as `<style>` elements in `<head>` (fixed order: base, theme, banner design, entry sheets, custom CSS last), module scripts as inline `<script>`s at the end of the body (relative chunk imports are rewritten to absolute `/_assets/` paths) — and the on-demand bundles' URLs ride in a `<script type="application/json" id="pagerite-assets">` config. The editor bundle always stays external, imported on demand when a pen is opened. Every stylesheet element carries a stable id so fetch-navigation and the site editor can sync `<head>` positionally across swaps (the analytics sheet exists on `/_a` only and is added/removed as you navigate). The analytics entry is inlined into the `/_a` page itself; pagerite.js re-creates that script element after fetch-navigating there (inline scripts don't execute on a DOM swap) and calls the module's exposed unmount before swapping away.
+
+## `assets/`
+
+Shared styles and data files built by Vite and served hashed under `/_assets/`: `pagerite.css` (base layout + conservative variables), `pygments.css`, and `fonts/` (self-hosted Source Sans 3/Source Serif 4/Fraunces/Literata/Cormorant/Playfair Display/Inter/Montserrat/Fira Code/Cause/Exo 2/New Rocker variable woff2).
+
+The `::view-transition*` block at the end of `pagerite.css` (from termotohtori.fi) is fragile — do not tweak. Themes and banner designs are NOT built — they live in `pagerite/themes/{name}/` and are served by the backend. See `docs/themes-and-assets.md` for details.
+
+Vite builds ES-module `.js` outputs; in dev the backend links them as `<script type="module">` (module scripts defer by default), in production it inlines them at the end of the body.
+
+## Database file
+
+The database file is `pagerite.kantadb` in the cwd (`PAGERITE_DB` overrides); gitignored. Do not delete it without asking.

+# Pagerite overview
+
+Pagerite is a single-user CMS/blog. FastAPI serves HTML rendered in Python with html5tagger; content is persisted in a kanta database and rendered on the fly per request. Vue is used only for interactive bits (editing tools), not for the public pages.
+
+See `docs/design-principles.md` for the high-level design and the other `docs/*.md` files for implementation details.

+# Themes and assets
+
+## Built assets
+
+Files under `frontend/src/assets/` are built by Vite and served hashed under `/_assets/`:
+
+- `pagerite.css` — base layout + conservative variables.
+- `pygments.css` — Pygments token styles mapped onto the `--code-*` variables.
+- `fonts/` — self-hosted variable woff2 files for Source Sans 3, Source Serif 4, Fraunces, Literata, Cormorant, Playfair Display, Inter, Montserrat, Fira Code, Cause, Exo 2 and New Rocker.
+
+The `::view-transition*` block at the end of `pagerite.css` (from termotohtori.fi) is fragile — do not tweak.
+
+## Themes
+
+Themes are folders in `pagerite/themes/{name}/` containing `theme.css` and/or `banner.css` (+ `banner.svg` artwork and any extra assets the CSS references, like summer's `grass.svg`). They are served by the backend at `/_themes/{name}/...` — read from disk per request (etag by mtime), never built, so on-disk edits show on the next page load even in prod.
+
+`Data.theme` selects the active theme (empty = none/base only) and the site editor can switch it, choosing from the theme folders found on disk. Vue may add per-component styles on top where needed.
+
+Current themes:
+
+- `purple` — dark dusk palette with Fraunces/Literata and a tilted oversized gradient brand.
+- `corporate` — light-first with automatic `prefers-color-scheme` dark mode, Montserrat/Inter and a huge solid brand.
+- `nitro` — racing/HUD style following `prefers-color-scheme` (warm light-grey page, deep violet in dark), Montserrat/Literata, black as an accent only, a straight orange blade under the banner, and an orange racing-tab nav clipped with a bezier `shape()`.
+- `summer` — light playful meadow, one palette sampled from its illustrated `banner.svg` (sky/grass/sun/flower pink), Fraunces/Literata, a tilted gradient brand, flower bullets, and a layered-parallax banner (sun rises, clouds drift, nearer hills move less) with idle animations (swaying flowers, floating clouds, breathing sun glow) wrapped in `prefers-reduced-motion: no-preference`.
+
+## Banner designs
+
+A theme folder may also ship a banner design (`banner.css` + `banner.html` arbitrary markup or `banner.svg`), selectable per page independently of the active theme. Standalone banner designs (no theme.css) ship as:
+
+- `eyes` — a canvas critter in the grass.
+- `stars` — a drifting starfield.
+
+The banner artwork has scroll parallax: pagerite.js sets the `--pry` scroll parameter on `<html>` (event-driven, so it is still when the page is idle), the banner contents drift within their window (with scale overscan so no edge shows), and designs may key their own effects off the same parameter.
+
+## Stylesheet order
+
+The backend emits the stylesheets in a fixed order — base (Vite build), theme, banner design, entry sheets, custom CSS last — each with a stable id so fetch-navigation and the site editor can sync them in place. In dev they are `<link>`s (the base is Vite-injected from JS instead); in production they are inlined as `<style>` elements. The base stylesheet's `--font-brand` defaults to `var(--font-heading)`. Code text (Fira Code by default) is optically matched to the body font by x-height: `font-size-adjust: ex-height var(--code-x-height)` scales whatever code font is in use, so a theme that switches its body font sets `--code-x-height` to that font's x-height ratio (base: 0.478 for Source Sans 3; themes ship values for Inter, Montserrat, Literata and Cause).

+ * emitted at time intervals inversely proportional (linear) to the

+"""Server-side visit analytics (collection only; see docs/analytics.md).
+
+Events come from navigation pings POSTed to /_a by pagerite.js: the first
+ping on page load starts a visit, later pings extend it, and pings with no
+known session start a fresh one (missing data, not dropped). The document
+GET handler stashes the entry referer (external https origin) and any
+utm_* query parameters in in-memory IP tables, consumed when the ping
+starts the visit; nothing is counted without a ping (plain bots that only
+fetch documents end up in the crawler list).  JS-running crawlers
+(Googlebot, GoogleOther, Applebot, ...) do ping, but their UA gives them
+away (``_is_bot_ua``) and their pings are ignored, so they land in the
+crawler list too.  Idle-time link preloads from pagerite.js carry an
+``x-pagerite-preload`` header and are not tracked at all — the ping sent
+when the user actually navigates does the counting.
+Admin clients ping with ``hide=1``, which records nothing and removes any
+visit the session accumulated before logging in.  Scanner telltale 404s
+(dotpaths, *.php) classify the source IP as abuse; its hits — including
+earlier crawler hits — are moved to the abuse list, which the viewer
+groups by IP with full request paths.  Client metadata (IP, UA, language,
+country/city, host) is stored once per unique client hash and referenced
+from visits, crawler hits and abuse hits.  The session map is in-memory
+only.
+
+Data is a msgspec Struct JSON-dumped to its own file (not the kanta db),
+rewritten atomically on every recorded event.

+## The page title
 
-## Chapter one
+If your Markdown contains its own `# heading`, the page title is not repeated as a second h1 — it still supplies the `<title>` and the menu labels.
-
-The distinction between a blog and a website is largely an accident of history. Early content management systems filed everything under "posts", stamped them with a date, and arranged them in reverse chronological order under a `/blog/` prefix. Anything else was a "page", which lived somewhere else entirely, often in a separate editing interface with separate rules.
-
-But readers do not think in these terms. A reader follows a link, reads what is there, and follows another link. The URL is a promise about where something lives, not about which database table it came from. Pagerite therefore treats every piece of content as a page: named, addressable, and rendered on the fly.
-
-## Chapter two
-
-Consider what happens to URLs when the tooling leads the design. You get addresses like `/cms/frontpage` or `/blog/post1` — the name of the machine leaking into the name of the thing. The slug should be chosen by the author, the way a book's title is chosen, and it should sit at the root of the site like the title sits on the cover.
-
-Nesting still has its place. Structured content — documentation, a series, a portfolio — benefits from paths that mirror the structure. The navigation on this very site is derived from the paths: open a section, and you see what it contains. No menu editor, no duplication of structure in two places.

-
-## Chapter three
-
-On the reading experience itself: motion on the web is usually either absent or obnoxious. The interesting middle ground is motion that acknowledges the reader's own movement — the scroll. Elements that fade in as they enter the viewport give the page a sense of depth, as if the content were arriving just in time.
-
-Crucially, none of this may depend on the article. The author writes Markdown; the effects come from the layout. And when the reader prefers reduced motion, everything must hold still.

-A URL is part of the content. A few rules of thumb I keep coming back to:
+Pages can attach images and position them freely. The vector artwork here is generated SVG; the woodblock print is Hokusai's *The Great Wave off Kanagawa* (public domain, via Wikimedia Commons).
 
-- Pick slugs like book titles, not like database keys.
+![The Great Wave off Kanagawa](great-wave.jpg "Hokusai, c. 1831 — full-bleed with {.wide}"){.wide}
-- Nest only when the structure is real.
-- Once published, a URL is a promise. Redirect if you must break it.

+A wide image escapes the text column for emphasis between sections. No HTML needed — just Markdown and an attribute.

+## The watery part of the world
+
+Call me Ishmael. Some years ago — never mind how long precisely — having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen and regulating the circulation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off — then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball. With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the ship. There is nothing surprising in this. If they but knew it, almost all men in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings towards the ocean with me.
+
+![Moby Dick breeches a whaleboat](md-whale.jpg "Augustus Burnham Shute, 1892 — public domain"){.right width=320}
+
+There now is your insular city of the Manhattoes, belted round by wharves as Indian isles by coral reefs — commerce surrounds it with her surf. Right and left, the streets take you waterward. Its extreme downtown is the battery, where that noble mole is washed by waves, and cooled by breezes, which a few hours previous were out of sight of land. Look at the crowds of water-gazers there.
+
+Circumambulate the city of a dreamy Sabbath afternoon. Go from Corlears Hook to Coenties Slip, and from thence, by Whitehall, northward. What do you see? — Posted like silent sentinels all around the town, stand thousands upon thousands of mortal men fixed in ocean reveries. Some leaning against the spiles; some seated upon the pier-heads; some looking over the bulwarks of ships from China; some high aloft in the rigging, as if striving to get a still better seaward peep. But these are all landsmen; of week days pent up in lath and plaster — tied to counters, nailed to benches, clinched to desks. How then is this? Are the green fields gone? What do they here?
+
+But look! here come more crowds, pacing straight for the water, and seemingly bound for a dive. Strange! Nothing will content them but the extremest limit of the land; loitering under the shady lee of yonder warehouses will not suffice. No. They must get just as nigh the water as they possibly can without falling in. And there they stand — miles of them — leagues. Inlanders all, they come from lanes and alleys, streets and avenues — north, east, south, and west. Yet here they all unite. Tell me, does the magnetic virtue of the needles of the compasses of all those ships attract them thither?
+
+## Meditation and water
+
+Once more. Say you are in the country; in some high land of lakes. Take almost any path you please, and ten to one it carries you down in a dale, and leaves you there by a pool in the stream. There is magic in it. Let the most absent-minded of men be plunged in his deepest reveries — stand that man on his legs, set his feet a-going, and he will infallibly lead you to water, if water there be in all that region. Should you ever be athirst in the great American desert, try this experiment, if your caravan happen to be supplied with a metaphysical professor. Yes, as every one knows, meditation and water are wedded for ever.

+### The artist's problem
+
+But here is an artist. He desires to paint you the dreamiest, shadiest, quietest, most enchanting bit of romantic landscape in all the valley of the Saco. What is the chief element he employs? There stand his trees, each with a hollow trunk, as if a hermit and a crucifix were within; and here sleeps his meadow, and there sleep his cattle; and up from yonder cottage goes a sleepy smoke. Deep into distant woodlands winds a mazy way, reaching to overlapping spurs of mountains bathed in their hill-side blue. But though the picture lies thus tranced, and though this pine-tree shakes down its sighs like leaves upon this shepherd's head, yet all were vain, unless the shepherd's eye were fixed upon the magic stream before him.
+
+Why did the poor poet of Tennessee, upon suddenly receiving two handfuls of silver, deliberate whether to buy him a coat, which he sadly needed, or invest his money in a pedestrian trip to Rockaway Beach? Why is almost every robust healthy boy with a robust healthy soul in him, at some time or other crazy to go to sea? Why upon your first voyage as a passenger, did you yourself feel such a mystical vibration, when you were first told that you and your ship were now out of sight of land? Why did the old Persians hold the sea holy? Why did the Greeks give it a separate deity, and own brother of Jove? Surely all this is not without meaning. And still deeper the meaning of that story of Narcissus, who because he could not grasp the tormenting, mild image he saw in the fountain, plunged into it and was drowned. But that same image, we ourselves see in all rivers and oceans. It is the image of the ungraspable phantom of life; and this is the key to it all.
+
+## A simple sailor, right before the mast
+
+Now, when I say that I am in the habit of going to sea whenever I begin to grow hazy about the eyes, and begin to be over conscious of my lungs, I do not mean to have it inferred that I ever go to sea as a passenger. For to go as a passenger you must needs have a purse, and a purse is but a rag unless you have something in it. Besides, passengers get sea-sick — grow quarrelsome — don't sleep of nights — do not enjoy themselves much, as a general thing; — no, I never go as a passenger; nor, though I am something of a salt, do I ever go to sea as a Commodore, or a Captain, or a Cook. I abandon the glory and distinction of such offices to those who like them. For my part, I abominate all honorable respectable toils, trials, and tribulations of every kind whatsoever. It is quite as much as I can do to take care of myself, without taking care of ships, barques, brigs, schooners, and what not.
+
+No, when I go to sea, I go as a simple sailor, right before the mast, plumb down into the forecastle, aloft there to the royal mast-head. True, they rather order me about some, and make me jump from spar to spar, like a grasshopper in a May meadow. And at first, this sort of thing is unpleasant enough. It touches one's sense of honor, particularly if you come of an old established family in the land, the Van Rensselaers, or Randolphs, or Hardicanutes. And more than all, if just previous to putting your hand into the tar-pot, you have been lording it as a country schoolmaster, making the tallest boys stand in awe of you. The transition is a keen one, I assure you, from a schoolmaster to a sailor, and requires a strong decoction of Seneca and the Stoics to enable you to grin and bear it. But even this wears off in time.
+
+![The final chase](md-chase.jpg "A. Burnham Shute's illustration of the final chase, 1892 — public domain")
+
+What of it, if some old hunks of a sea-captain orders me to get a broom and sweep down the decks? What does that indignity amount to, weighed, I mean, in the scales of the New Testament? Do you think the archangel Gabriel thinks anything the less of me, because I promptly and respectfully obey that old hunks in that particular instance? Who ain't a slave? Tell me that. Well, then, however the old sea-captains may order me about — however they may thump and punch me about, I have the satisfaction of knowing that it is all right; that everybody else is one way or other served in much the same way — either in a physical or metaphysical point of view, that is; and so the universal thump is passed round, and all hands should rub each other's shoulder-blades, and be content.
+
+And finally, what shall I say of the reasons for going a-whaling? Chief among them:
+
+- The overwhelming idea of the great whale himself — such a portentous and mysterious monster roused all my curiosity.
+- The undeliverable, nameless perils of the whale, and the attendants of the wondrous world of waters.
+- The tormenting, mild image of the ungraspable phantom of life, seen in all rivers and oceans.
+
+These were the things that finally drew me to the sea — and if they but knew it, almost all men cherish very nearly the same feelings towards the ocean with me.

+"""Generate fake browser visits, crawler hits, and abuse scans for a Pagerite site.
+
+Browser sessions (ordinary users) come from realistic residential IPv4 and IPv6
+addresses and stay mostly stable; an IPv6 host part may rotate once mid-session,
+and an IPv4 session may switch to another residential address.  Crawler hits come
+from datacenter IPs, with each crawler profile paired to a matching provider IP
+when possible.  Abuse scanners fire bursts of vulnerability probes from pinned
+datacenter IPs.
+
+Run against a local dev server, e.g.:
+
+    uv run scripts/fake_traffic.py http://localhost:3200
+
+Repeat whenever you want more traffic; each run appends new events to the
+site's analytics file.
