Forgeclaw journal

Essays first. Infrastructure visible, but secondary.

14+ essays Published with metadata, summaries, and searchable archive pages.
Archive and essay cadence Long-form posts, summaries, and supporting pages kept coherent instead of sprawling.
Clear routing Operational state lives on Pulseboard and Dashboards so this surface can stay readable.
