Encapsulate all migrations in kanta migrate_vN, drop persisted Data.version

migrate_v1 now also rebuilds the legacy flat pages store as the menu
tree (moved from the app lifespan, raw-dict level); migrate_v2 now also
backfills missing AVIF/WebP/JPEG derivatives on disk (moved from the
lifespan) and drops the obsolete version field. The version render
counter was cache-invalidation state, not database state: replaced by an
in-memory render generation that clears the page-body LRU and feeds page
ETags. The legacy Page struct and Data.pages/version fields are removed;
old databases lose the stale keys on re-serialization.

 # 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 the interactive editing tools, not for the public pages.
+A CMS for people who are done patching WordPress. There's no PHP or Node.js to exploit — the whole editing surface sits behind your own SSO proxy, so the server the internet can talk to just renders plain pages that search engines and social media can read too.
+
+The articles have rich layout and don't look boxed in like with most web publishing platforms. The software is lightweight and fast enough to serve any number of visitors you have. We run our own site [vasanko.com](https://vasanko.com/) on it, in case you wish to have a quick look.
+
+## Run it
+
+```sh
+uvx pagerite localhost
+```
+
+That serves a demo site on localhost using [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/). When you take it to production, pass your domain name instead. Our [setup guide](https://git.zi.fi/LeoVasanko/pagerite/src/branch/main/docs/setup.md) walks through the whole production arrangement. **Read it before running this online.**
+
+## What it's like
+
+**You write, Pagerite renders.** Articles are Markdown with the extensions that matter — tables, footnotes, task lists, callouts, highlighted code, aside boxes — and raw HTML goes through untouched when Markdown runs out. Long articles reflow into a proper two-column composition on wide screens without you doing anything.
+
+**Editing happens on the page.** Click the pen next to a heading and an editor docks beside the live article, previewing server-side as you type. Site name, theme, fonts, banner, custom CSS — changed in a panel, applied immediately. New pages grow from a ➕ in the structure tree; drag or rename rows to reorder your whole navigational hierarchy. Entirely custom or premade top banner designs per category or page are available, animations included.
+
+Full scripting and styling is available for editors who wish to implement more complex functionality on their articles. This also means you should only let trusted users write on your site: this is by no means a public blog platform.
+
+The worst case scenario when a hacker gains access to your admin accounts (say if you didn't read the setup guide): they can take over the entire site and run scripts on users' browsers, but the damage is limited to same domain. All your articles can be restored to the state prior to that hack or that one user's edits undone, and no data is irrecoverably lost. This is much better than other platforms that also let hackers run code on your server (WordPress).
+
+![Live editing](https://git.zi.fi/LeoVasanko/pagerite/raw/branch/main/docs/screenshots/editor.webp)
+
+**Theme just every part to your liking.** Themes, banner designs and page transitions are included — pick one from the site editor or copy a folder and make it yours. Several high quality fonts are included among with other assets: your site never phones a third party or us for anything. And if after all you need to customize, additional site and banner code may be provided by the admin panel.
+
+**Search engines and social cards come free.** Every page gets a proper description, canonical link and Open Graph/Twitter card metadata derived from the article — including a share image picked from your own figures — without a single "SEO plugin". Category index pages, if you wish to have those, also get their sub pages shown automatically in card format.
+
+![Graphs showing visitor stats and navigation across site branches.](https://git.zi.fi/LeoVasanko/pagerite/raw/branch/main/docs/screenshots/analytics.webp)
+_You can see your readers. Built-in analytics need no cookies and no third-party tracker: visits, referers, reading time and a live map of how people move between your pages, plus separate ledgers for crawlers and the abusers probing for wordpress PHP files — who are, of course, wasting their time here._

+  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

+  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

+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 cleared wholesale by `_invalidate_pages()` on every content/settings change, which also bumps the in-memory render generation. 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 the render generation; `/_a` instead gets a blake3 hash of the rendered body (it has no Node), with matching `if-none-match` revalidations answered by a 304.

+Uploaded files, seed assets and fetched external-site favicons live in the `FileStore`: content-addressed files on disk under `<hostname>/files/` (`PAGERITE_FILES`), fully cached in RAM at startup — both the raw body and a zstd-compressed copy (kept only when smaller). `GET /_f/{name}` serves from the RAM cache with immutable caching, answering the zstd variant when the client accepts it; the name is the ETag. Uploaded raster images (and rasterized SVGs) are stored as `<hash>.orig<ext>` (internal only, never served) plus AVIF, WebP and JPEG derivatives, and pages link the extension-less `/_f/{hash}`: the server serves a format only when the Accept header lists it explicitly (`image/avif` → AVIF, `image/webp` → WebP, otherwise — including `*/*` — JPEG), with `vary: accept`; an explicit extension pins the format. `migrate_v2` rewrites old `/_f/{hash}.avif` article links to the bare form, backfills missing derivatives on disk, and drops the obsolete `version` field. Legacy databases that still carry blobs in a `files` kanta field or a flat `pages` store are migrated by `pagerite/migrations.py::migrate_v1` (kanta's `migrate_vN` mechanism, wired via `Kanta(..., migrations="pagerite.migrations")`), which rewrites the raw state before struct decoding — all schema/storage upgrades live in that module, none in the app lifespan.

Also, category labels are nodes without content — None *or* empty markdown — and their nav links point at their first child page.

+Files are content-addressed (blake3[:12] + extension) and stored **on disk** under `<hostname>/files/` (path from `PAGERITE_FILES`), served at `/_f/{name}` with immutable caching. Uploaded raster images (except GIF) and SVGs (rasterized) get a set of derivatives: the untouched original under `<hash>.orig<ext>` (internal only — it may carry EXIF data and is never served; SVG originals stay servable as `<hash>.svg`), a mediapreview-recompressed AVIF (`<hash>.avif`, thumbnailed to `IMAGE_MAXSIZE` at `IMAGE_QUALITY`), and WebP/JPEG fallbacks re-encoded from the AVIF at lower quality (`IMAGE_WEBP_QUALITY`/`IMAGE_JPG_QUALITY`, chosen for similar-or-smaller file size). Pages link the bare `/_f/<hash>` and the server negotiates by Accept header: a format is served only when listed explicitly (`image/avif` → AVIF, `image/webp` → WebP, anything else including `image/*` and `*/*` → JPEG); an explicit extension in the URL pins the format. Responses carry `vary: accept`. Favicons uploaded in settings go through the same pipeline at `FAVICON_MAXSIZE` (192px). Existing databases are updated by `migrate_v2` (link rewrite plus on-disk derivative backfill). Deleting any name of a hash removes the whole group. The `FileStore` in app.py caches every file in RAM, both uncompressed and zstd-compressed (the compressed copy only when smaller), so `/_f` answers both encodings without disk reads. Pages reference files by absolute `/_f/` URLs so hierarchy moves never break them. Pre-refactor databases kept the blobs in a `Data.files` kanta field; the kanta migration `pagerite/migrations.py::migrate_v1` writes them to disk on open and drops the field (removed from `Data`). Fetched favicons of external analytics sites live in the same store (see `docs/analytics.md`).
 
 ## 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 is linked in `<head>` (id `pagerite-banner`) between the theme and the custom CSS.

-`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.transition` is the page-transition design name (default `cube`): a theme folder shipping `transition.css`, injected as `#pagerite-transition` on every page and selected in the site editor (the selector enumerates `transition.css` folders via `GET /_api/settings`). See `docs/themes-and-assets.md`.

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, and space-separated at the end of a text line (`some text {.small}`) the braces likewise belong to the block — a space is what keeps them off an image or link ending the line, which keep their own directly-attached attrs; text size classes `{.small}` / `{.large}` / `{.huge}` (em-based) work on any block; 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). Headings (h1/h2) clear floats, so images never overflow into the next section.
 
 ## Page structure and navigation
 
 - All pages share one static layout, defined once as an **html5tagger Template** with capitalized placeholders (`Title`, `Banner`, `Nav`, `Sidebar`, `Main`) filled per request. The dynamic regions carry stable ids (`#page-banner`, `#nav`, `#sidebar`, `#main`).
 - 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).
-- **Fetch-navigation.** Links are plain `<a href>`; a small script (`frontend/src/pagerite.js`) intercepts same-origin clicks, fetches the page, and swaps the `#page-banner`, `#nav`, `#sidebar` and `#main` regions, the document title, and the site-wide custom CSS (`<style id="pagerite-user">` in `<head>`), keeping the rest of `<head>` and the layout chrome. 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`). Navigation within the same top-level section crossfades instead of rotating; browser back navigation rotates in reverse.

With `cube`, navigation within the same top-level section crossfades instead of rotating.
-- **The site structure is a tree of labels.** `Data.menu` holds the top-level items by slug, each with `children` keyed by slug — the URL path is the slug chain. 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. The sidebar exists only when there is something to navigate — sections with fewer than two published items, leaf pages and the front page render no aside element at all. Other sections' subitems are never shown without navigating into them first.

Other sections' subitems are never shown without navigating into them first.
-- **Landing pages are optional.** Every label can either have content (`Node.content`, a Markdown page) or none — a content-less label renders a placeholder page (404 with a pen to create it) instead of redirecting, while nav links to it point straight at its first child, so categories need no filler content and normal navigation never sees the placeholder. Title and slug of every label are editable; renaming a slug moves the whole subtree. The sidebar never lists the section itself, avoiding title duplication with the navbar.

 - **Menu order is manual.** Each node has a fractional `order` key among its siblings; reordering/moving writes only the moved node (it takes a fresh value halfway between its new siblings; all other items keep theirs). New pages append at the end of their menu. Structure edits (reorder, move/rename with the whole subtree, retitle) go through `POST /_api/structure` and the editor's structure panel.
 - Unpublished pages are hidden from both nav and URL access (404).
 
 ## Reading experience
 
-- The article column is sized by the **viewport, never by content**: a symmetric grid (`1fr minmax(0, 78rem) 1fr`) with flexible gutters keeps the layout stable across navigation. The sidebar occupies the left gutter, the right gutter balances it; wide screens get columns inside long articles without changing the article's width.
+- The article column is sized by the **viewport, never by content**: a symmetric grid (`1fr minmax(0, 78rem) 1fr`) with flexible gutters keeps the layout stable across navigation. The sidebar occupies the left gutter, the right gutter balances it. Long articles (flagged `.multicol` by the backend render) lift the cap and become a bounded **composition**, centered in the available space with the surplus left vacant: a fluid text lane (up to 42rem) plus a 16rem **side zone at the article's left** — the region the nav sidebar overlays — which hosts margin boxes (`.margin`, `::: aside`, margin figures) at all but phone widths, without the text ever moving. On pages with a sidebar, the sidebar gets its own track at every width — flexible, 12rem when space is tight and growing up to 150% (18rem) once the viewport has room beyond the article, the sidebar keeping its left side on the viewport's edge — and the track is the left lane instead: no in-article zone, the text lane runs fluid up to 86rem leaning on the viewport's right edge (surplus extends the left lane), and the boxes hang into the lane off the article's left border (growing leftward with it, up to 18rem), sliding under the translucent sticky nav. Once two lanes fit beside the zone (≥96rem available in `main`), the text flows in two fluid lanes (36rem minimum, capped at 102rem total — technical content wants the wider lanes, and wider windows just add vacant space). The stages step by the space actually available in `main` (container queries + `cqw` units, so the docked editor's inset is automatic). `.wide` figures on multicol pages bleed to the viewport edges measured from `main` (`cqw`), sliding under the sidebar. The backend splits the body into `.colseg` segments at h1/h2 headings, `.wide` elements and margin blocks (full-width separators or margin boxes, never inside columns), tagging segments that hold enough text in at least two paragraphs (or one long enough to split) with `.cols` — code blocks are excluded from that measure, a `::: nocols` container opts its whole section out, and column-filling paragraphs are marked `.breakable` so they may split across the column gap (shorter paragraphs stay whole). On wide single-column pages (≥104rem), margin boxes lean into the vacant left gutter as well, growing with it up to 18rem.

 ## Editing
 
 - Editing happens **in place**, in two modes opened by two pens:
-  - **Page mode** — the 🖊️ next to a page's heading (including 404s, which is how new pages start) opens a CodeMirror Markdown editor docked to the left of the article: the host sits inside `#content` (below the banner, never over the footer), the content shifts right and the sidebar hides while editing. Preview renders server-side per keystroke (no debouncing) straight into the visible article's heading and body.
+  - **Page mode** — the 🖊️ next to a page's heading (including 404s, which is how new pages start) opens a CodeMirror Markdown editor docked to the left of the article: the panel is fixed to the viewport's left edge (its top tracks the banner's bottom until the banner scrolls away), the content shifts right and the sidebar hides while editing. Preview renders server-side per keystroke (no debouncing) and swaps the whole visible article content in one go (the edit pen and category cards survive the swap).
-  - **Site mode** — the 🖊️ on the banner opens a panel with the site **brand** (applied to the header live), a **theme** selector (swapping the theme stylesheet in place), **font** picks (heading/body/brand — stored as plain `:root` rows inside the custom CSS, referencing the base stylesheet's per-family font variables), a **site-wide custom CSS** field (injected into `<style id="pagerite-user">` in the live page head and swapped during fetch-navigation), the page's **banner design** selector (inherit / none / any design found on disk, inherited by children), the page's **banner HTML** field (supplementing the design, previewed into the real banner region, so you see exactly which banner you're editing) and the **structure tree**. Everything saves immediately as you edit — no save button, no edit mode.
+  - **Site mode** — the ⚙️ at the top right (after the 📊 analytics link, before login) opens a panel with the site **brand** (applied to the header live), a **theme** selector (swapping the theme stylesheet in place), a **page transition** selector (`cube`/`crossfade`, swapping `#pagerite-transition` in place), **font** picks (heading/body/brand — stored as plain `:root` rows inside the custom CSS, referencing the base stylesheet's per-family font variables), a **site-wide custom CSS** field (injected into `<style id="pagerite-user">` in the live page head and swapped during fetch-navigation), the page's **banner design** selector (inherit / none / any design found on disk, inherited by children), the page's **banner HTML** field (supplementing the design, previewed into the real banner region, so you see exactly which banner you're editing) and the **structure tree**. Everything saves immediately as you edit — no save button, no edit mode.
 - Clicking a pen again closes the editor (without saving; a dirty preview reloads the page). The pens are `<button>`s wired up by `pagerite.js` — editing is an action, not a navigation.

 - The **structure panel** (vue-draggable tree of the whole site, in site mode) covers page management: reorder any menu level, drag across sections, add, delete (two clicks: the button arms, then deletes — no dialogs). Every node is a real label — content-less category rows offer a ➕ to give them a landing page. Deleting a category removes only its landing page (the label and its subpages stay). Every non-empty list ends with a ➕ row that starts a new page as a local-only tree row at that level; the row can be dragged into place before its title and slug are filled in and is persisted only on commit. While dragging, these ➕ rows double as "end of this list" drop targets; dropping ON the lower part of a row makes the page that row's first child (even a leaf's, creating a sublist), while a row's exposed top edge inserts a sibling before it. A dragged row's indentation previews the target list's depth. Rows are always editable: titles save while typing, slug edits commit on blur/Enter since they rename the path (moving the whole subtree). The front page is the root row with an empty slug — renaming it away leaves no front page ("/" redirects to the first nav item), and giving another top-level row the empty slug makes it the front page.
 - Preview and saving go over a **WebSocket** (`/_api/ws/editor`) with a stateless JSON protocol (`open`/`render`/`save`; on save all fields are optional and absent ones keep their old values, `move_from` renames), avoiding REST polling and races. Rendering always stays server-side.
 - A REST API also exists for scripting, all under `/_api/`: `GET pages` (the full tree), `PUT/DELETE pages/{path}`, `GET/PUT settings` (site brand, theme and custom CSS), `POST structure` (reorder/move/retitle), file upload/removal via `PUT/DELETE files/{name}`.

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.

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.

+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, page transition, 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).

+# Production setup
+
+From a local demo to a real site: run Pagerite as a systemd service behind
+a reverse proxy that terminates HTTPS, with Paskia guarding the editing API.
+
+The moving parts:
+
+- **Pagerite** — serves the public site on `localhost:8100` and the editing
+  API under `/_api`.
+- **Paskia** — the SSO server; owns `/auth/` and answers forward-auth
+  subrequests.
+- **A reverse proxy** — Caddy below, but nginx or anything with
+  forward-auth support works the same way.
+
+## Pagerite as a systemd service
+
+Install [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/) on the
+system, create a user, and add a template unit:
+
+```sh
+sudo useradd --system --home-dir /srv/pagerite --create-home pagerite
+curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sudo env UV_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/bin sh
+sudo systemctl edit --force --full pagerite.service
+```
+
+```ini
+[Unit]
+Description=Pagerite CMS
+
+[Service]
+Type=simple
+User=pagerite
+SyslogIdentifier=pagerite
+WorkingDirectory=/srv/pagerite
+ExecStart=uvx pagerite example.com --dbip
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+```
+
+Replace `example.com` with your actual domain name. `--dbip` keeps the local GeoIP database up to date: leave out if you don't want DBIP data for analytics.
+
+```sh
+sudo systemctl enable --now pagerite
+sudo journalctl -ocat -fu pagerite
+```
+
+## Running it on internet
+
+We recommend Caddy for making your site publicly visible on the Internet. Presumably you already have some proxy, perhaps Nginx, but our setup is not much different of any other service you might already be running. ChatGPT and the likes can also help with the configuration because online documentation is limited. Note that Paskia also has extensive documentation on [running on various proxy servers](https://git.zi.fi/LeoVasanko/paskia/src/branch/main/docs/proxy/index.md)
+
+Install [Caddy](https://caddyserver.com/) and follow the [Paskia setup guide](https://git.zi.fi/LeoVasanko/paskia) to get the SSO server running and its `auth` snippets copied to `/etc/caddy/auth` — that guide covers Paskia's own configuration and admin registration in detail.
+
+Then the site config. Only the editing API needs gating; the site itself is public:
+
+```caddyfile
+example.com {
+    import auth/setup
+
+    reverse_proxy /auth/* localhost:4401
+
+    @api path /_api/*
+    handle @api {
+        import auth/require perm=pagerite:admin
+        reverse_proxy localhost:8100
+    }
+
+    handle {
+        reverse_proxy localhost:8100
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Reload Caddy, then create a permission with scope `pagerite:admin` in the
+Paskia admin panel (`/auth/admin/`) and assign it to yourself, as the Paskia
+guide describes. Anonymous visitors now get 401 from `/_api`, logged-in
+users without the permission get 403, and admins get the editing pens.
+
+## nginx or another proxy
+
+The shape is identical everywhere:
+
+- `/auth/` proxies to Paskia (`localhost:4401`).
+- `/_api` requires a forward-auth subrequest against Paskia — on nginx that
+  is `auth_request` against Paskia's verify endpoint — before proxying to
+  Pagerite (`localhost:8100`).
+- Everything else proxies straight to Pagerite.
+
+Paskia ships per-proxy forward-auth guides covering
+[Caddy, nginx and others](https://git.zi.fi/LeoVasanko/paskia/src/branch/main/docs/proxy/index.md);
+adapt the matcher to `/auth/` and `/_api` as above and leave the rest public.

-The `::view-transition*` block at the end of `pagerite.css` (from termotohtori.fi) is fragile — do not tweak.
+The `::view-transition*` rules are not in the base stylesheet: they live in the page-transition designs (`pagerite/themes/{name}/transition.css`, see below).
 
 ## 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.
 
+Themes are searched across several roots, most specific first (see `views.THEME_DIRS`):
+
+1. `themes/` under the current working directory
+2. `<site-dir>/themes/` (the site's own folder, e.g. `localhost/themes/`)
+3. The platform user data dir's `pagerite/themes/` (Linux: `~/.local/share/pagerite/themes/`, Windows: `%LOCALAPPDATA%\pagerite\themes\`)
+4. The platform system data dirs' `pagerite/themes/` (Linux: `/usr/local/share/pagerite/themes/`, `/usr/share/pagerite/themes/`, ...; Windows: `%PROGRAMDATA%\pagerite\themes\`) — several combine
+5. `pagerite/themes/` (built-in package dir, fallback)
+
+The data dirs come from `platformdirs` (`views._data_roots`).
+
+All roots combine: listings are the union of folder names, and each file resolves from the first root that has it. So users can add completely new themes in any root, shadow a built-in file with their own (`<site>/themes/corporate/theme.css`), or extend a built-in theme with extra files (any files the user folder doesn't provide still come from the built-in). Since everything is read per request, new or changed folders take effect without a server restart.
+
 `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.
 
+The site editor shows a light/dark-mode indicator in front of each theme name, read from the theme's `color-scheme` declaration in `theme.css`: ☀️ for light-only, 🌙 for dark-only, and 🌓 for themes that support both. The base theme (`none`) is light-only.
+
 Current themes:
 
 - `purple` — dark dusk palette with Fraunces/Literata and a tilted oversized gradient brand.
@@ -23,6 +37,15 @@ Current themes:
 - `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`.
 
+## User fonts
+
+Fonts are shared across themes, so user fonts live in `fonts/` folders next to the theme roots (same list minus the built-in fallback: `views.FONT_DIRS`, e.g. `localhost/fonts/` for the site; built-in fonts ship with the Vite build). A font is a folder `fonts/{name}/` with:
+
+- `font.css` — `@font-face` rules with URLs relative to the folder (files served at `/_fonts/{name}/...`, per request like themes), plus a `:root { --font-{name}: "Family Name", serif; }` stack variable so themes and custom CSS reference it like the built-in `--font-*` variables.
+- the font files the CSS references (e.g. `{name}.woff2`).
+
+Every font.css is linked on all pages (after the base stylesheet, before the theme). The site editor's font picker lists user fonts too, with label and serif/sans grouping parsed from the `--font-{name}` stack. Everything is read per request, so new fonts appear without a restart.

 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.
 
+## Page transitions
+
+A theme folder may ship a page transition (`transition.css`, `::view-transition*` rules), selected site-wide by `Data.transition` in the site settings and injected as `#pagerite-transition` (after the banner design). Standalone transition designs ship as:
+
+- `cube` — rotating cube (from termotohtori.fi; the block is fragile — do not tweak), mirrored on history-back (`html.nav-back`), crossfading within a section (`html.nav-fade`).
+- `slide` — plain sideways slide, old and new pages moving together; mirrored on history-back, crossfading within a section.
+- `reveal` — clip-path wipe revealing the new page over the stationary old one; mirrored on history-back, crossfading within a section.
+- `crossfade` — plain crossfade for all navigations.
+
+pagerite.js toggles the `nav-back`/`nav-fade` classes on `<html>` around `document.startViewTransition` (skipped under `prefers-reduced-motion`); a transition design keys its `::view-transition*` rules off them as needed.
+
 ## Stylesheet order
 
-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. The base stylesheet's `--font-brand` defaults to `var(--font-heading)`.
+The backend emits the stylesheets in a fixed order — base (Vite build), theme, banner design, page transition, 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).

+same callout styling). ``::: name`` opens a generic container rendered
+as ``<div class="name">`` and closed by a matching ``:::`` (nest by
+giving the outer container more colons, e.g. `::::`); the name may be
+followed by brace attributes (``::: aside {.right}``), or omitted for a
+pandoc-style nameless div (``::: {.aside}``). ``::: aside``
+floats as a muted side box, floating in the side zone at the article's
+left on all but phone widths — the same margin float ``{.margin}`` (or
+``::: margin``) gives any block — and ``::: nocols`` opts its section out
+of the column layout. A brace-attribute
+line as a block's last line (no blank line between) applies to the whole
+block, e.g. a paragraph ending with ``{.wide}`` breaks out of the column
+layout as a full-width element; written after a block (code fence,
+heading, container, ...) it applies to that preceding block. Bare URLs autolink (GFM), with
 the ``https://`` scheme hidden in the link text (``http://`` and other
 schemes stay visible; manually labelled links are untouched), and
 ``H~2~O`` / ``x^2^`` give sub/superscripts.
 
+render() also builds the layout structure: the top-level blocks are
+segmented for the column layout — h1/h2 headings, ``.wide`` blocks and
+margin-breakout blocks (``.margin``, ``::: aside``) stand on their own,
+the runs between them are wrapped in ``<div class="colseg">`` (tagged
+``.cols`` when the segment holds enough text — COLS_TEXT — in at least
+COLS_PARAS paragraphs or one paragraph long enough to turn .breakable,
+unless a ``::: nocols`` container opts it out;
+in column segments, paragraphs past BREAKABLE_TEXT are marked
+``.breakable`` so they may split across columns). The result carries
+``multicol`` when the whole body justifies columns (views.py puts the
+class on the article); how many columns (never more than two), whether
+the margin breakout applies and every other viewport adaptation is then
+pagerite.css's call. The thresholds measure visible text, code blocks
+excluded.

+### Design matters
+
+Good graphical design gives a website a clear visual structure and makes information easy to understand at a glance. Layout, spacing, typography, color, and imagery should work together to establish hierarchy and guide attention naturally through the page. Consistency between sections also helps users quickly learn how the interface is organized.
+
+A strong website layout balances visual character with usability. Content should have enough space to remain readable, while navigation and important actions should be easy to find without dominating the design. Responsive layouts should preserve these relationships across different screen sizes rather than simply shrinking the desktop arrangement.

 ## 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.

 ### 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.

 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.

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.
