A reusable comment thread any sidecar can attach to any page, tied to
real logged-in accounts (never anonymous), auto-approved on submission
with hide/delete moderation at /admin/comments — only a verified account
can post, so there's no anonymous-spam vector to pre-vet against.
Framework-level (novaconium/lib, novaconium/migrations, novaconium/pages),
not App/migrations, matching Admin auth and Media manager's shape. A page
needs its own sidecar to use it — this repo has no client-side JS, so
comments ride the same server-rendered POST pattern as every other
dynamic feature, which is also what excludes a page from the static
cache. App/pages/blog/comments-demo/ demonstrates the pattern without
touching existing posts that are referenced elsewhere as the
sidecar-less example.

Blog RSS feed (novaconium/ISSUES.md):
- App/pages/blog/feed/index.php - main feed, built from the same
hand-written $posts array App/pages/blog/index.php renders from, so it
works with content_index_enabled left at its default false. Added a
published date field per post entry.
- App/pages/blog/tag/[tag]/feed/index.php - per-tag feed, gated on
content_index_enabled the same way blog/tag/[tag]/index.php is.
- novaconium/lib/Rss.php - shared RSS 2.0 envelope builder both feeds
use, generic (title/link/description/items in, XML string out).
- New head_extra block in the root layout (empty by default) so
App/pages/blog/_layout/layout.twig can add feed auto-discovery scoped
to /blog/* only.
Footer:
- New content_index_enabled Twig global (Renderer/bootstrap.php), same
pattern as admin_auth_enabled.
- Right-aligned footer menu linking to /sitemap.xml (only shown when
content_index_enabled, so it never links to a 404) and /blog/feed
(always shown, no content-index dependency).
Docs:
- New /admin/docs/rss page: Lib\Rss API, the two shipped feeds, a worked
example of adding a feed for another content collection, and how to
advertise multiple feeds via head_extra.
- New /admin/docs/sitemap page: changefreq/priority blocks, what's
included/excluded, an honest callout on the relative-<loc>-URL spec
deviation (consistent with how canonical/og:url already work) with an
override path for strict compliance, and submitting it to search
engines.
- /admin/docs (Overview) gains a Requirements section: minimum
requirements, then optional requirements for the database/content-index
features (pdo_sqlite, optional pdo_mysql, FTS5) - and a Documentation
heading separating it from the doc links list.
- /admin/docs/getting-started's Requirements line was stale (missing
pdo_sqlite entirely, unlike README) - fixed and cross-linked to the
Overview page's fuller list.
- /admin/docs/content-index trimmed to point at the new RSS/sitemap pages
instead of duplicating their detail.
Also adds an "In-house comments" entry to novaconium/ISSUES.md's Backlog
- a Lib\ class for sidecar-attached comments on any page, depending on
the not-yet-built Admin login & user management for real user accounts.
Closes the "Blog RSS feed" backlog item.
Full rewrite: swap out the v1 framework (src/, controllers/, views/,
twig/, sass/, skeleton/) for the working v2 codebase from phpproject
(App/, novaconium/, public/).
