Z-04 // EXPERIMENTAL HYPOTHESISBetaUPDATED 2026-Q4
Git-Backed Content Reactor
Type-safe content layer compiling git markdown into reactive web data.
A minimal, zero-runtime markdown content compiler providing instant hot-reloading for editorial venture publications.
01 // CORE HYPOTHESIS
TESTABLE PREMISE
Static markdown files checked directly into git can provide a superior authoring and audit experience compared to heavyweight headless CMS platforms for early venture teams.
02 // WHAT WE'RE LEARNING
Zod schema validation at build time catches broken frontmatter before it ever touches production.
Incremental compilation is critical once article count passes 100 documents.
03 // NEXT HORIZON & CRITERIA
IMMEDIATE NEXT STEP
Package into an internal utility adapter for ZenithDistrict websites.
CONDITIONS TO EARN PRODUCT STATUS:
Zero build-time regression on incremental changes
Self-contained schema definition with zero third-party cloud lock-in
