feat: locale routing (en flat, zh subfolder), language switcher, dark default
Deploy / build (push) Successful in 11s

- Derive lang from folder (posts/zh/* -> zh, else en); remove lang: frontmatter
- Change post route to [...slug] to capture nested zh paths
- Add nav language switcher (EN <-> 中文) + /zh/ landing page
- Default theme to dark (light opt-in via toggle)
- Translate hello-world-zh placeholder into English intro post
- Update case study: docker-compose sample + real install gotchas (commit history)
- Add docs/project-state.md (Tier 1/2/3 backlog)

## 7. What to AVOID (anti-patterns)
@@ -102,4 +105,10 @@ lang: en
- **English is primary and non-negotiable** — the whole SEO strategy targets English queries.
- **Chinese (zh):** translate only the 23 best case studies. Cheap differentiation, opens zh-SG/zh-MY search.
- **Malay: skip for v1** — no dev-audience demand (the main site already has a dangling Malay config; don't repeat it).
### File layout (enforced by code)
- English posts: `src/content/posts/*.md` (flat, no subfolder).
- Chinese posts: `src/content/posts/zh/*.md` (subfolder → `/posts/zh/<slug>/`).
- Language is derived from the folder (see `src/lib/lang.ts`), so **do not** set a `lang:` field in frontmatter.
- Never let "I should translate this" block publishing an English post.

# Project State & Enhancement Backlog
Living list of what's done and what's next for blog.hoelee.com. Work through these **one by one** — don't batch unrelated changes. Check off items as they land.
**Status key:** ✅ done · 🔵 in progress · ⬜ not started
---
## Done (foundation)
- ✅ Astro 5 static + Markdown, Gitea Actions CI/CD → nginx → Cloudflare (deployed)
- ✅ Design system: hoelee.com brand palette, Inter + JetBrains Mono, light/dark, sticky nav, code copy button
- ✅ Brand "Mr Hoelee" (replaced "hoelee.dev")
- ✅ Author card + `Person`/`ProfilePage` JSON-LD (E-E-A-T), article meta, reading time, related posts
- ✅ Full SEO: canonical, Open Graph (+dims), twitter:card, favicon (all sizes), RSS + sitemap
- ✅ Category pages (`/categories/`, `/categories/[category]/`)
- ✅ Locale scheme: English flat in `posts/`, Chinese in `posts/zh/` (lang derived from folder, no `lang:` frontmatter)
- ✅ Language switcher in nav (EN ↔ 中文) + `/zh/` landing page
- ✅ Dark mode default (light is opt-in via toggle)
- ✅ Case study post "how-i-host-this-blog" updated with docker-compose sample + real installation gotchas (from commit history)
- ✅ Knowledge guides in `docs/` (content, design, seo, ops) + README index + `hoelee-blog` skill
-**Make the Gitea repo public** — verified no secrets in source or history (PAT is a `${{ secrets.PAT }}` reference, not hardcoded). Recommended: yes, public — it's a portfolio artifact. Action: flip visibility in Gitea repo settings.
---
## Tier 1 — Content (80% of value; do this first)
-**Write the 2 flagship case studies** — highest ROI, these are the portfolio:
- ⬜ "How I built the DigiKedai Telegram AI bot" (DSM Docker + Cloudflare tunnel webhook + LiteLLM)
- ⬜ "Self-hosting a mem0 memory stack" (API + LiteLLM + pgvector)
-**23 gotcha posts** from real debugging history (short, Google-friendly):
- ⬜ "The Traefik forward-auth gotcha that cost me a day"
- ⬜ "Site-to-site OpenVPN behind CGNAT"
- ⬜ "Fixing the WordPress /cv 301→404 chain" (from own audit)
-**"Hard job → post" habit** — every solved problem becomes a `notes` entry the same week (template in `docs/content-guide.md` §4)
---
## Tier 2 — Structural gaps
-**Tag pages** — tags currently render as labels only; add `/tags/[tag]/` archive pages for fine-grained discovery + internal linking
-**Categories page shows all 7 categories** (not just those with posts) — signal intended coverage; show "0 posts / coming soon" for empty ones
-**Search** — AstroPaper-style fuzzy search (low priority until >20 posts)
---
## Tier 3 — Polish / later
-**Verify Chinese content split** — confirm `zh/` posts don't appear in EN feed (the `isEn` helper already filters; re-check when first zh post lands)
-**Google Search Console submission** — submit `sitemap-index.xml` for faster indexing
-**Newsletter / email capture** — only after real traffic exists
---
## Conventions (non-negotiable)
- Push git.hoelee.com first, then GitHub
- English-first; Chinese selective (23 flagship case studies); no Malay
- No overclaiming, especially Web3
- Name identity: "Lee Teong Hoe" / "Mr Hoelee" + same photo + same `sameAs` handles everywhere
