WHAT:
- Gemini approved hybrid test approach
- Comprehensive tactical guidance for 2-hour spike
- Specific gotchas and abort criteria
- Question on 11ty layout structure for head/footer
GEMINI'S RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Use 11ty (not Hugo) - matches Node.js stack
2. Cloudflare gotchas: output dir (_site), Node version
3. Decap CMS: Post-launch only (Phase 2)
4. Forms: Formspree (simplest path)
5. SEO: title, description, viewport only for launch
6. Assets: Download from Ghost, no hotlinking
7. Watch for: URL routing, orphaned CSS classes
8. Abort if: >15min on build errors, CSS rewrite, broken nav
HARD ABORT CRITERIA:
- 15+ minutes fighting Cloudflare build errors
- Rewriting CSS to match Ghost layout
- Mobile nav breaks, can't fix in 10 minutes
GEMINI'S BLESSING:
'You have my blessing for this 2-hour spike. Smart way
to test waters without betting the farm.'
