Subject: [PATCH] Add two-week sprint plan: 90% of the masterplan in 14 days

Ghost killed by day 5, sexp protocol running internally by day 8,
sexpr.js on every page by day 10. Cut Rust client, IPFS mesh, and
browser extension to later. Everything users touch runs on sexp.

+# Rose Ash: Two-Week Sprint
+
+**The 20-week plan, compressed. Cut everything that isn't code running in production.**
+
+---
+
+## What Gets Cut
+
+| Deferred | Why |
+|---|---|
+| Rust native client | Needs stable protocol first — build later |
+| Client-as-node / IPFS / GPU mesh | Vision is solid, build after protocol exists |
+| Browser extension | sexpr.js in a `<script>` tag works today, extension is optimisation |
+| Scalability Tiers 1-3 | Tier 0 is enough, scale when traffic demands |
+| Multi-instance federation | One instance first, federate second |
+| Sexp routes (`defroute`) | Nice-to-have, Quart decorators work fine |
+
+**What stays: everything that produces working infrastructure this fortnight.**
+
+---
+
+## Week 1: Kill Ghost, Ship Sexp Content
+
+### Day 1-2: Ghost Content Migration
+
+- [ ] Write Lexical → sexp converter script
+- [ ] Add `body_sexp` column to Post model (Alembic migration)
+- [ ] Run converter against all posts, verify HTML output matches
+- [ ] Switch rendering pipeline: `post_data()` reads `body_sexp`, renders via sexp evaluator
+
+### Day 2-3: Native Editor & Uploads
+
+- [ ] Editor save endpoint writes sexp directly to DB (bypass Ghost Admin API)
+- [ ] Native media upload endpoints on blog service (image, audio, files)
+- [ ] Native OEmbed lookup endpoint
+- [ ] Editor toolbar actions → sexp nodes
+
+### Day 3-4: Membership Decoupling
+
+- [ ] Rename `ghost_labels` → `labels`, drop `ghost_id`
+- [ ] Rename `ghost_tiers` → `membership_tiers`, drop `ghost_id`
+- [ ] Clean User model (drop ghost fields, add `membership_tier_id`, `membership_status`)
+- [ ] Native `subscriptions` table (replace `ghost_subscriptions`)
+- [ ] Wire Stripe directly (Checkout + Webhooks on orders service)
+
+### Day 4-5: Newsletter + Delete Ghost
+
+- [ ] Native newsletter model + user_newsletters
+- [ ] Email sending via SMTP/SES (transactional, not Ghost)
+- [ ] Newsletter templates as sexp → email-safe HTML
+- [ ] Post → email campaign workflow
+- [ ] **Delete all Ghost code** — ghost/ directory, ghost_db, webhooks, env vars, Docker service
+- [ ] Alembic migration: drop all `ghost_id` columns
+- [ ] Rename model files: `ghost_content.py` → `content.py`, `ghost_membership_entities.py` → `membership.py`
+
+### Parallel (Week 1): New Relations + Cart Split
+
+- [ ] Add new `defrelation`s (post→post, market→product, calendar→entry, page→marketplace)
+- [ ] Migrate CalendarEntryPost junction → ContainerRelation
+- [ ] Scaffold likes service (port 8009)
+- [ ] Move PageConfig to blog
+- [ ] Cart becomes thin CRUD + checkout delegation to orders
+
+---
+
+## Week 2: Sexp Protocol + Client Runtime
+
+### Day 6-7: Internal Wire Format
+
+- [ ] Define framing: length-prefixed sexp over Unix sockets
+- [ ] Python `SexpConnection` class: connect, send, receive
+- [ ] Quart handler: accept sexp requests, return sexp responses
+- [ ] `fetch_sexp()` — unified replacement for `fetch_data()` + `fetch_fragment()`
+
+### Day 7-8: Internal Mesh on Sexp
+
+- [ ] Blog ↔ relations on sexp protocol
+- [ ] Events ↔ relations on sexp protocol
+- [ ] Market ↔ relations on sexp protocol
+- [ ] All internal calls on native sexp (HTTP fallback for external)
+- [ ] Benchmark: latency/throughput vs HTTP+HMAC
+
+### Day 8-9: sexpr.js Core
+
+- [ ] Sexp parser in JS (<5KB gzipped)
+- [ ] DOM renderer: sexp tree → DOM nodes
+- [ ] `swap!`, `batch!`, `class!` mutation primitives
+- [ ] `request!` — fetch sexp from server, apply mutations
+- [ ] Component system: `defcomp`, content-addressed localStorage cache
+
+### Day 9-10: sexpr.js Integration
+
+- [ ] Rose-ash serves sexp via `Accept: application/sexp` content negotiation
+- [ ] `<script src="sexpr.js">` on every page — progressive enhancement
+- [ ] Partial page updates via sexp mutations (no full reload)
+- [ ] DevTools: sexp inspector in browser console
+- [ ] Content-addressed caching: hash post body, cache in localStorage
+
+### Parallel (Week 2): Stability + Pages
+
+- [ ] Sexp page layouts (base, blog post, market product, event calendar)
+- [ ] Fragment endpoints return raw sexp (callers render)
+- [ ] Unit tests for new protocol library
+- [ ] AP federation test: sexp activities between two instances (Docker)
+- [ ] Deploy Tier 0 scalability (DB split, PgBouncer, workers)
+
+---
+
+## End State: Day 14
+
+| Before | After |
+|---|---|
+| Ghost CMS running alongside Python stack | Ghost deleted, all content native sexp |
+| Lexical JSON in posts | Sexp in `body_sexp` column |
+| Ghost handles newsletters, membership, Stripe | Native newsletter, membership, direct Stripe |
+| HTTP+HMAC between services | Native sexp protocol between services |
+| HTML fragments (opaque strings) | Sexp trees (structured, filterable, cacheable) |
+| Full page reload on every navigation | sexpr.js partial updates, content-addressed cache |
+| No client-side sexp | sexpr.js running on every page |
+| 6 Ghost-related files + Docker service | Zero Ghost code |
+
+---
+
+## What "90%" Means
+
+The 10% left after two weeks:
+
+- Rust native client (Track 8) — needs months of Rust engineering
+- Client-as-node / IPFS / GPU mesh — needs the Rust client
+- Browser extension — nice optimisation, not essential when sexpr.js works
+- Multi-instance federation — test with Docker first, real instances later
+- Scalability Tiers 1-3 — premature until traffic demands it
+- Full newsletter template library — basic sending works, fancy templates iterate
+
+Everything a user touches — browsing, buying, posting, subscribing, federating — runs on sexp end to end. The remaining 10% is optimisation and long-term vision.

+
+## Daily Rhythm
+
+```
+Morning:  AI generates code for the day's tasks
+Midday:   Test, fix, deploy to dev
+Evening:  Commit, push, verify on dev, plan tomorrow
+```
+
+No PRs, no code review, no standups. One developer, AI tools, `git push`.
