Git

My entire knowledge base had no undo, and adding one turned out to be a real distributed-systems puzzle because the same files live on four machines at once.

The whole project finally lives somewhere other than my one machine: I pushed a private backup of the repo. Then a small but careful change to how the app resolves edited renders so it stops statting thousands of network files on every restart, plus a power-outage readiness check and a move of my project notes vault out of the folders iCloud sweeps.

Adding a devblog to my site took three tries to deploy: a nested zip, a misplaced git init, and a commit Cloudflare refused to stop rebuilding. All three were the same mistake wearing different hats.

I merged Loupe's pipeline repo into the app repo as a subtree, untangled a code-vs-data path coupling that would have quietly broken everything, and then (right before the first push to a private GitHub repo) ran a full-history audit that came back dirty. It found a home address, GPS coordinates, and a dump of my home network's internal layout buried in old commits. The rest of the day was rewriting history to purge all of it, normalizing my commit identity, and collapsing everything to a single clean branch.
