## Publishing Rules

- WordPress is canonical for public content, routing, templates, media, and SEO.
- Replit-source animations are hosted through Vercel and embedded as decorative visual layers.
- Products and Archive are curated index surfaces; resource guide detail pages are public only after no-affiliate/no-tracking conversion.
- Recovered legacy content that is not mapped to an approved public route remains draft/private and should not be treated as public source truth.
- Theme demos, shop/cart sample pages, sliders, typography samples, and sample filler pages are discarded as theme filler, not missing content.
- Affiliate widgets, tracking links, unavailable legacy media, and raw legacy dumps are archive evidence only unless explicitly converted into approved public content.
