Completes the orchestration/registry/content batch - Kestra's check-pause-approve-apply pattern, the self-hosted build pipeline, the SOC dashboard's 14-source aggregation, the cron heatmap, and the in-progress content pipeline, all in the diagram+callout+table style.

📝 Content Pipeline
Warning
Still under active development — this covers the current shape, not a finished architecture. Included deliberately rather than only showcasing finished work.
The intended shape
flowchart LR
Idea["Idea"] --> Draft["Drafting"]
Draft --> Review["Review"]
Review --> Approved["Approved"]
Approved --> Published["Published"]
Approved -.glue via automation tool.-> Storage["Draft/asset staging"]
Approved -.glue via automation tool.-> Blog["Published blog"]
Approved -.planned, not yet wired.-> Social["Social platforms"]
A structured content tracker moves ideas through a status pipeline, with a workflow-automation tool gluing the stages together: approved content flows through to a file-storage staging area and out to a public blog. A separate, still-incomplete leg is meant to fan approved posts out to social platforms automatically.
A deliberate constraint, not a limitation stumbled into
Tip
The social-publishing tool is single-origin by design — its frontend/backend URLs are baked to one specific public hostname at configuration time, so it deliberately has no presence in either internal DNS zone described in
docs/dns-naming.md; any other hostname hitting it fails CORS. This was a conscious choice, not a workaround: the tool is meant to be reached exactly one way.
A real surprise in scale
Important
The social-publishing tool's real deployment footprint is 8 containers, not the app+database+cache most people would guess — it bundles its own workflow engine (mandatory for all of its background jobs, including scheduled posting itself) plus that engine's own database and search-based visibility store. A useful reminder that a tool's advertised simplicity and its actual operational footprint can be very different things.
What's actually built vs. what's still wiring up
| Piece | Status |
|---|---|
| Content tracker → automation → draft storage → blog | Most built-out, working end to end |
| AI-assisted drafting step | Still being wired up |
| Social-publishing fan-out | Still being wired up |
