3. Auto-deploy: Push to main triggers build and deploy via GitHub Actions

Structure

news/                   # Articles (content)
  2026-03-10/
    article-slug/
      index.md          # Markdown + frontmatter
      thumbnail.png     # Co-located image (optional)
src/                    # Templates, styles, scripts
  _includes/            # Layouts
  css/                  # Styles
  js/                   # Theme toggle
index.njk               # Homepage
feed.njk                # RSS feed

Each article is a markdown file with YAML frontmatter (title, date, author, tags, summary, thumbnail, sources).

PRs are automatically validated by CI for frontmatter correctness, date format, thumbnail references, and word count.
