Blog App (Coop)

Blog, authentication, and content management service for the Rose Ash cooperative platform. This is the primary "coop" app — it handles Ghost CMS integration, user auth, and admin settings.

Architecture

One of four Quart microservices sharing a single PostgreSQL database:

App	Port	Domain
blog (coop)	8000	Auth, blog, admin, menus, snippets
market	8001	Product browsing, Suma scraping
cart	8002	Shopping cart, checkout, orders
events	8003	Calendars, bookings, tickets

Dependencies

Cross-app model imports:

• events.models.calendars.Calendar — post routes and Ghost sync use calendars attached to pages
• market.models.market_place.MarketPlace — post admin manages marketplaces on pages
• cart.models.page_config.PageConfig — post admin manages per-page SumUp config

Glue services:

• glue.services.navigation.get_navigation_tree — context processor builds site nav
• glue.services.relationships.attach_child / detach_child — post admin attaches/detaches calendars and marketplaces to pages

Internal APIs:

• Calls GET /internal/cart/summary — context processor for cart widget
• Exposes /internal/coop/* — serves blog data to other apps

Domain events:

• auth/routes.py emits user.logged_in via shared.events.emit_event
