Learning is moderator-owned: content published into categories that everyone
sees, behind router.use(moderatorMiddleware). That is right for institutional
material and wrong as the only way in — an ordinary user could not generate
anything at all.
So this is a separate pathway rather than a loosening of that one. Learning is
untouched; the moderator gate stays exactly where it was. A signed-in user can
generate a deck or an article for their own use, keep it, refine it and export
it, and nobody else ever sees it.
Private by construction. Every statement filters on the owner and there is no
route that returns another person's work, which a test asserts statement by
statement rather than trusting. The foreign key cascades, so deleting an account
takes its drafts with it. There is no category, no publish state and no sharing:
adding sharing later should be a deliberate feature, not something that leaks
out of a forgotten WHERE clause.
Markdown is the artifact. Every format is rendered from it on demand — pptx and
docx by pandoc, both carrying the house reference deck, and PDF by Gotenberg,
whose LibreOffice preserves a deck's layout in a way rendering from markdown
would not. That is what makes "add a slide on when to admit" a text edit rather
than a binary patch.
Gotenberg was published on the host but on a network of its own, so reaching it
from a container went out and back through the host gateway. It now joins
danvics_convert, owned by danvics-net like the others. PDF is the one export
allowed to fail: if that service is down, the deck and the document still
download and the error says which.
Verified end to end as a plain user: the moderator route still refuses with 403,
generation returned a deck grounded on 12 corpus excerpts, the library lists
only their own, pptx/docx/pdf all downloaded valid, "add a slide on when to
admit" put the slide in the right place and left References last, and an
unauthenticated request gets 401 while someone else's id gets 404.
