The brochure split project was a misinterpretation of an operator request to make TtsReader + AI Station production-ready. Somewhere in the planning chain it spun up into a separate "showcase brochure product" with its own host, repo, NuGet, and Codex pack — none of which the operator actually wanted. The project itself is pointless and a waste of credits. Archive (not delete) per operator decision 2026-05-19, because some work shipped under the misinterpretation may still have reusable value: - FlowerCore.Intranet.Web PR #8 (merged) introduced FlowerCore.Brochure.Content content-NuGet carve-out — pattern may apply to TtsReader/AiStation production polish. - Sprint 32 Cl-5 substrate has design ideas for public-twin vs operator-host separation that may transfer. - magpie-doc-writer / wren-walkthrough skills still author useful Intranet content — those skills stay active. These manifests stay at replicas: 0 for ArgoCD continuity. Cleanup options (move out of apps/* glob, or delete entirely) are documented in README.md for an operator-explicit future call.

# FlowerCore Brochure — ARCHIVED 2026-05-19
|
|
|
|
**Status:** ARCHIVED. Do not re-enable, do not rebuild the image.
|
|
|
|
## What this was
|
|
|
|
A proposed public-facing brochure subdomain (`brochure.flowercore.io`) that would carve `/whats-new`, `/walkthroughs`, and `/galleries` content out of `FlowerCore.Intranet.Web` and serve it anonymously through a new thin Blazor host backed by a `FlowerCore.Brochure.Content` NuGet.
|
|
|
|
## Why it was archived
|
|
|
|
The operator asked for **TtsReader and AI Station to become production-ready**. Somewhere along the way that request was misinterpreted by the planning chain into "spin up a new showcase brochure product". The brochure project itself is pointless and a waste of credits. The two actual productionization arcs (TtsReader + AI Station) get the focus instead.
|
|
|
|
## Archive (don't delete) rationale
|
|
|
|
Some of the work shipped under this misinterpretation may still have value if pulled back into the actual productionization work:
|
|
|
|
- `FlowerCore.Intranet.Web` PR #8 (merged Sprint 32) introduced the `FlowerCore.Brochure.Content` content-split carve-out. That code may be reusable as a content-NuGet pattern for TtsReader/AiStation production polish.
|
|
- The Sprint 32 Cl-5 substrate (`docs/standards/sprint-32-intranet-brochure-split-substrate-2026-05-24.md`) contains design ideas for public-twin vs. operator-host separation that could apply elsewhere.
|
|
- The magpie-doc-writer / wren-walkthrough skills that authored `flowercore-whats-new`, `flowercore-walkthroughs`, `flowercore-galleries` content still produce useful Intranet content — those skills are NOT archived.
|
|
|
|
The Sprint 34 Cl-4 brochure rebuild Codex pack is at `docs/archived/codex-2026-05-18-fc-brochure-web-rebuild-pack.md` in `FlowerCore.Notes`.
|
|
|
|
## Cluster state
|
|
|
|
These manifests stay at `replicas: 0`. ArgoCD keeps the `brochure` namespace + service + cert + IngressRoute objects alive for continuity, but nothing serves real traffic. The `localhost/fc-brochure-web:v20260524-sprint32` image still exists on RKE2 nodes — that image is the wrong codebase (an `FlowerCore.Intranet.Web` binary mis-tagged as brochure during Sprint 33 Cx-5) and can be safely `ctr images rm`'d in a future cleanup.
|
|
|
|
## Cleanup choices for a future sprint
|
|
|
|
1. **Leave as-is** (current state). Negligible cluster footprint. Operator can re-evaluate later.
|
|
2. **Move directory** to `apps-archived/brochure/` (outside the `apps/*` ApplicationSet glob). ArgoCD prunes the `infra-brochure` Application + the `brochure` namespace. Manifests preserved in git history.
|
|
3. **Delete entirely.** Removes from git too. Use only after confirming no reusable patterns are still pending extraction.
|
|
|
|
All three are valid. Operator-explicit at the time of cleanup.
