built the journal, locked the architecture, updated the project brain

full-day session building sunshine.fm/journal/ from scratch and locking the sunshinefm project brain. the journal is now live at sunshine.fm/journal/ with 248 entries — 79 newsletters pulled from beehiiv csv export, 120 intelligence briefs from aicv's /dist/briefs/ directory, 40 community events hardcoded from luma, and 8 journal entry pages with full blogging schema. back to june 2024. reverse-chronological, grouped by month, built for agents and humans equally.

full seo and agent architecture in place: person schema json-ld with september 2023 founding date, tedx speaker credential, king.com exit, nonprofit status under desert community foundation, csusb palm desert campus. blogging schema on every entry page. agent-context comment blocks in every head. llms.txt updated. sitemap updated. nav consistent and fully clickable across homepage and journal. square avatar with text wrap. masthead manifesto line — "this is the build log. everything here is timestamped. nothing is polished. the work is the proof." — restyled from whisper to statement.

journal entry template locked and saved as JOURNAL_BUILD_SPEC.md — naming convention, index entry format, full page template with all required schema, sitemap priority rules, counter update protocol. any claude session or builder can pick it up and continue. also created memory.md, canonical_manual.md, and operating_instructions.md as physical files at ~/sunshine-fm/ and synced them to this claude project — same architecture as aicv. every future sunshinefm session now starts with current context instead of february 2026 state.

tools in the room: claude (strategy, copy, schema, courier prompts throughout). claude code (all file creation, edits, and deploys). cloudflare wrangler for deploys to sunshine-fm pages project. beehiiv csv export for newsletter backfill. est. tokens: ~800k.
