stardust:rollout — whole site → AEM (Edge Delivery Services)
deploy converts one page to AEM. rollout delivers the whole site: it
inventories the agnostic output of migrate, then drives deploy across every
page, tracking delivery coverage so you always know what's done and what's left.
rollout is delivery-only — it does not redesign. The page-by-page redesign
(extract → direct → prototype → migrate) and deploy itself are unchanged;
rollout is the across-pages layer on top. Design rationale, coverage model, and
phasing are in notes/rollout/PLAN.md. The flow
runs A→I below.
When to use
Full mode — the user has a fully migrated site at stardust/migrated/
(per-page HTML + _meta.json from stardust migrate), an EDS/AEM project + DA
destination (the same target deploy needs), and wants the entire site
delivered, incrementally and resumably.
Archetypes-only mode — the user has one migrated archetype per template plus a
full page inventory in stardust/state.json (with type per page), and wants to
ship all block code immediately without waiting for every page to be migrated.
Sibling pages register as content-pending and get their content later via a
separate track.
If there is no stardust/migrated/ tree at all, recommend stardust migrate on at
least the archetype pages first. For a single page, use stardust deploy directly.
Setup
- Run the master skill's setup (
skills/stardust/SKILL.md§ Setup). Flow guard:stardust/state.jsonwithoutflowon a migration ask → do not roll out; print the master's two-flow table and hand back to its routing (skills/stardust/reference/state-machine.md§ Flow keys). - Verify
stardust/migrated/exists with at least one*.htmlpage (full mode: all pages; archetypes-only: the archetypes + astate.jsonwithtypepopulated). If not, recommendstardust migrateon the archetypes and stop. Gated-archetype precondition (flow: replica). Readstardust/replica/progress.json: a page type may ship only when its archetype has a gate result at every configured breakpoint that ispass: true, or over the bar with every residual carrying acause(skills/replica/reference/source-fidelity-gate.md§ Residual logging format — a documented residual is a pass with an asterisk). A page type whose archetype was never gated, or is over the bar with no residual entries, is blocked: list it with its archetype slug and the command to gate it ($stardust replica <archetype>), and neither fan out its siblings norPOST /live/any of them. Accepting logged residuals under hands-off is not a bypass for an ungated archetype. Thresholds are the gate's, unchanged. (Recorded: 2,207 pages published at 24–28 % diff from an archetype that never passed; a 3,366-page re-import after a random review found what a gate would have.) - Verify the EDS/AEM target is ready exactly as
deployrequires (project scaffolding,DA_TOKEN, code branch pushable).rolloutadds no new transport. - If
state.json.handsOffis true (skills/stardust/SKILL.md§ Hands-off mode), run full-auto: no per-phase pauses. Every gate and verify step below runs unchanged — hands-off removes waiting, not validation.
Procedure
Phase A — Inventory (build the coverage)
node skills/rollout/scripts/inventory.mjs --site-url <source-url>
# defaults: --migrated stardust/migrated --out stardust/rollout
# archetypes-only mode: add the full page roster from state.json
node skills/rollout/scripts/inventory.mjs --site-url <source-url> --state stardust/state.json
Writes coverage/pages.json (one row per page: slug, delivered path,
templateId, blocks, sourceHash, delivery status), coverage/templates.json
(pages grouped by template), and rollout.json (target + DA config + lastRun).
Archetypes-only mode (--state): pages with a _meta.json are seeded as in
full mode; pages present only in state.json are seeded with templateId from
type, blocks from the archetype sidecar, and delivery.status: content-pending.
Inventory is idempotent and incremental: delivery status is preserved; a page
whose migrated HTML changed after delivery is re-flagged stale. Fill in the DA
coordinates in rollout.json (site.da.org, site.site, site.da.ref,
site.liveHost) if not inferred.
Phase B — Block dedup plan (FIRST-CLASS, before any conversion)
node skills/rollout/scripts/blocks.mjs # → coverage/blocks.json (the dedup unit)
node skills/rollout/scripts/plan.mjs # → plan.json + a readable conversion plan
blocks.mjscollapses every block instance (per-pagemodules+ chrome) into the distinct set, assigns each a canonicaledsBlockName(kebab, reserved-class-guarded per deploy #15), and recordsusedByPages/instanceCount. Chrome (header/nav/footer) iskind: chrome→ site-wide authored documents (/nav,/footer) fed to the header/footer blocks. In archetypes-only mode the archetype sidecars fully determine the block set;content-pendingpages add none. A module that maps to EDS default content (title, text, image, button, separator — deploy's D1) needs no block: record itupdate-coverage.mjs --block <id> --status converted --eds-name default-content; such a row is never counted pending, whatever its status.plan.mjsorders pages representative-first per template and gives each distinct block a single conversion point: the first page that uses it CONVERTS it, every later page REUSES it by name. The per-pageconvert/reuselists are exactlydeploy's Step-7 brief input, so each block converts once without changing deploy.content-pendingpages are alwaysconvert: [].
Extending an already-delivered site? A "new template" is almost always a new COMPOSITION of the existing block library, not new block code — audit
blocks/first. Seereference/operational-learnings.md.
Phase B2 — Dynamic surface (PRE-IMPORT GATE — verify the inventory)
Before Phase C. stardust/dynamic-features.md (from prepare-migration 4.5 or replica
Phase 2) must exist with a disposition on every row; verify it against fresh evidence here —
dynamics-detect.mjs --from-state … --reach stardust/current and dynamics-plan.mjs --target-origin <live host> --migrated stardust/migrated (host-bound APIs, rows the capture
already delivered). New evidence → new rows. The listings contract (per-type <meta> fields +
helix-query.yaml) is emitted by Phase C's deploy brief per page: retrofitting metadata across
published pages is a second migration. Missing inventory → run the stardust dynamics skill Phases 1–3 now.
Contract: skills/dynamics/reference/triage.md, reference/listings.md.
Phase C — Deliver the site (drive deploy per page, per the plan)
Blocked on Phase B2 — author each page's metadata contract into its metadata block during delivery, so the indexes are rich at import time.
Walk plan.json.steps in order (representative pages first). For each page:
-
Convert + push the migrated HTML (
source.migratedHtml) to AEM via thedeploymethodology. Pass the plan step into deploy's brief: create only the blocks inconvert; for each block inreuse, REUSE the existing block by itsedsBlockName(do not recreate). The brief MUST carry the Experience Workspace editability contract (deploy SKILL.md § 8, EW1–EW10): every converted block moves authored elements into wrappers (never rebuilds from text) and passes the EW gate (block-roundtrip --ew) before it counts as delivered — a brief without it skipped the contract on 27/27 blocks of a real site.Deploy first, judge on the preview origin. The local harness (
build-harness.mjs→qa-gate.mjs,block-roundtrip.mjs --ew) serves the structural asserts only; every pixel or visual judgment — replica's source-fidelity gate, the header/footercrop-comparebands, the deployed eyeball — runs against the page's preview URL afterPUT → preview, never against the harness before the first PUT (deploy SKILL.md § Local QA before deploy, § Step 10). A recorded delivery session iterated CSS against a local harness pixel diff for its whole budget and delivered no page.Chrome and fragment documents carry
Robots | noindex.content/nav.html,content/footer.html, every per-localenav-*/footer-*document and any locale shell that is not a page get one more metadata block row at write time —<div><div>Robots</div><div>noindex</div></div>(renders<meta name="robots" content="noindex">). Without it the platform's index of published documents, and the/sitemap.xmlit serves, list them as pages: a recorded hands-off run served 58 sitemap urls for a 36-page site (every page plus 22 chrome documents). Phase D verifies the served sitemap.content-pendingpages (archetypes-only): no migrated HTML — skip the document push entirely (no shell/placeholder), recordcontent-pending, surface as "awaiting content track." Their block code is already deployed via the archetype. -
Static contract lint (pre-PUT, deterministic). Before the push, run the delivery-contract linter — it catches the cheap, deterministic failures (wrapper, one-CTA-per-
<p>, trailing-slash, path-safety,/img/src,about:error) offline so a broken page never reaches preview. Mechanics inreference/delivery-lint.md. A P0/P1 blocks the PUT.node skills/rollout/scripts/delivery-lint.mjs --file <html> --path </da/path> node skills/rollout/scripts/media-reconcile.mjs --file <html> --deploy-host <branch>--<repo>--<owner>.aem.live [--media-ledger <file>] [--apply]media-reconcileresolves every non-hosted image on the network and decides optimize/keep/rewrite/omit (skills/migrate/reference/media-reconciliation.md) — the authoritative form of the image-fidelity gate below. A content-host URL (content.da.live) is thehosteddecision instead: checked offline against the media ledger (--media-ledger <file>, auto-detected), never fetched anonymously (401by design); missing from the ledger fails the gate. -
Run the delivery gates before flipping a page to
deployed. Each is a one-line rule here; mechanics + helpers inreference/delivery-gates.md:- Source-fidelity — don't add sections the source lacks; never fabricate
facts.
node skills/rollout/scripts/section-fidelity.mjs --file <html> --source <url>(a static outline check on the authored file — not replica's pixel source-fidelity gate, which runs on the published origin afterdeployed) - Image-fidelity — every authored
<img>src must return 200 or be omitted; never ship<img src="about:error">. Runmedia-reconcile.mjs(step 2). - Path-safety — normalize source paths to AEM-Edge-safe form (lowercase, no
trailing
-/_, no--segment); record original→normalized instardust/redirects.tsv. (delivery-lint flags violations.) - Source-content hygiene — skip dead source URLs; author bodyless/PDF-only
sources thin and faithful (tier
thin,skills/migrate/reference/fidelity-tiers.md), don't pad with invented prose. - Fidelity tier declared — record each page's
fidelityTier(archetype/sibling/thin) so coverage shows what was craft-gated vs cloned (skills/migrate/reference/fidelity-tiers.md).
- Source-fidelity — don't add sections the source lacks; never fabricate
facts.
-
Record outcomes with the state-writer (never hand-edit the ledger):
node skills/rollout/scripts/update-coverage.mjs <slug> --status converting node skills/rollout/scripts/update-coverage.mjs --block <id> --status converted --eds-name <name> node skills/rollout/scripts/update-coverage.mjs --block <id> --status converted --eds-name default-content # maps to default content, no block node skills/rollout/scripts/update-coverage.mjs <slug> --status deployed --url <branch-preview-url> node skills/rollout/scripts/update-coverage.mjs <slug> --status content-pending # no document pushPublish in the loop (
PUT → preview → live), don't stop at preview — any query-index (Phase D2) builds from the live tree, so a preview-only delivery leaves indexes empty. On failure:--status failed --error "<reason>"and continue (one page's failure never aborts the rollout).
Foundation-first gate (hard block, once per rollout). When the FIRST
archetype page flips to deployed, stop and prove the foundation before
authoring any second page: run the stardust diff skill (both probes) against its
prototype, plus computed-style invariants in a headless render — grid
containers compute display: grid (not stacked single-column), sections are
full-bleed where the design says so, and the CTA/button classes are actually
styled (per stardust/runtime-contract.json, skills/deploy/SKILL.md
§ Runtime-detection probe). deployed means after PUT + preview: the gate's
probes run against the page's preview URL, never a local harness — a
pre-deploy harness pixel diff is NOT this gate. A wrong runtime assumption (block wrapper class,
button classes) is silent and sitewide — typography still looks fine while
every grid stacks. This one gate is the difference between fixing one page
and rebuilding every template.
Execution model: waves. Deliver in waves of parallel author-only agents
— each agent curls its source pages and writes files only, never deploys or
edits blocks — template clusters concurrently (non-overlapping pages),
representative-first so blocks exist to be reused; then a central deploy
per page; then background batches with a per-page OK/FAIL ledger, re-driving
FAILs only. For clusters of 6–20+ siblings, the full flow is
reference/delivery-gates.md § Batched delivery (it also names the one
variant where cluster agents deploy themselves — replica's Phase 5 fan-out,
per-cluster deploy ledgers, lock-safe shared ledgers). The central deploy step
should run the bundled, resumable driver rather than a serial loop:
node skills/deploy/scripts/deploy-batch.mjs --org <org> --repo <repo> --branch <branch> --content <dir> (concurrency pool, persistent ledger that skips
already-live pages, retry/backoff, append-only log, delivered-.plain.html check).
The driver and every batch run in the background; its log and ledger are the
progress file. Check them at most every 4 minutes and never with a fixed sleep
of 5 minutes or more (the prompt-cache window) — the master skill's wait
discipline; recorded batch waits of 9–10 minutes re-wrote a ~650k prefix each time.
After a transient blip, re-run the same command — it re-drives only the FAILs.
Then reconcile the ledger into coverage with update-coverage.mjs.
Foundation first: lint AND commit styles.css, header/footer CSS and the
contract file BEFORE the first agent spawns; no token or custom-property rename
after fan-out (a recorded rename under three running agents cost seven
coordination messages). Disjoint clusters spawn concurrently — a wave waits
only on a real dependency (a recorded second wave idled 14 min behind an
unrelated first). Every tool call stays under 4 minutes, the main agent's
included (the prompt cache holds 5; calls of 5.2 and 6.6 min re-wrote the whole
context, and so did one 338 s foreground turn on the main agent that ran a pixel
loop beside a deploy-batch start + wait): a long instrument (gate rounds, pixel
loops, Playwright captures, deploy batches) goes through run-bg.mjs start, and
wait is the NEXT tool call — it returns within its --max (100 s by default); never two long instruments
as parallel tool calls in one turn, never two waits in one command.
Phase D — Site assembly (whole-site artifacts)
node skills/rollout/scripts/assemble.mjs # → rollout/site/{sitemap.xml,robots.txt,manifest.json} — the EXPECTED set
node skills/rollout/scripts/assemble.mjs --verify-origin https://<branch>--<repo>--<owner>.aem.live # vs the SERVED /sitemap.xml; exit 1 on a mismatch
Generates site-wide artifacts: sitemap.xml + robots.txt from delivered paths,
and a fragments manifest mapping chrome blocks to the authored chrome documents
(content/nav.html, content/footer.html) with their canon/*.html source
(deploy authors + deploys the documents through the normal content chain —
they MUST be published or the chrome 404s sitewide).
The assembled sitemap is never the served one. stardust/rollout/ is in
.hlxignore, so site/sitemap.xml is a local artifact — the EXPECTED url set.
The platform serves its own /sitemap.xml, built from its index of every
published document, chrome documents included unless each carries Robots | noindex (Phase C). A recorded hands-off run read the local file, reported
"sitemap 36 urls" and shipped a served sitemap of 58 (36 pages + 22 nav /
footer documents). Two remedies, the first required:
- Authoring: every chrome/fragment document —
/nav,/footer, per-localenav-*/footer-*, locale shells that are not pages — carries the metadata rowRobots | noindex; a document already published without it is re-authored and re-published (preview → live) before the check below. - Configuration (alternative, additive): when the code branch is writable, a
helix-sitemap.yamlat the project root (sitemaps.default.include: ['/**'],exclude: ['/nav', '/footer', '/**/nav*', '/**/footer*', '/fragments/**'],properties.lastmod: lastModified) keeps chrome out of the served sitemap even when a document lacks the row; the sameexcludeglobs go intohelix-query.yaml(Phase D2) so the index never carries them either.
Verify the SERVED sitemap, never the local file. assemble.mjs --verify-origin <live-origin> fetches <origin>/sitemap.xml (a sitemap index is followed),
compares its <loc> paths with the coverage rows, prints served vs assembled
counts with every extra and missing path, records the result in
site/manifest.json (servedSitemap) and exits 1 on any difference. An extra
path is a chrome document without noindex or a page built outside the migrated
tree with no coverage row (update-coverage.mjs --new, Phase D2); a missing path
is a page not published live. Re-run after the fix until it exits 0. The D-site
ledger end line names the SERVED count, never the assembled one — e.g.
--detail "sitemap served 36 = assembled 36; redirects wired; / 200".
D-site checklist (all before the D-site end line): assemble.mjs --verify-origin exits 0 · every chrome document carries Robots | noindex and is
published · the redirects sheet is published (below) · curl -sIL <origin>/ ends
in 200.
Redirects: if Phase C's path-safety gate emitted stardust/redirects.tsv, wire
it into the EDS redirects mechanism here so original inbound URLs don't 404 — the
redirects sheet at the content root (on a DA-backed site /redirects.json, columns
Source / Destination; PUT through the admin API, then preview + publish it like a
page). The root MUST answer: when the source root serves a page, deliver it as
the root index document (the pipeline serves / from it — /index ≡ /;
never also a / Source row, which would shadow it); only when the source root
itself redirects (curl -sI <source-url>, follow the Location chain) does the
sheet carry / and /index.html → the landing page. Then verify
curl -sIL https://<branch>--<repo>--<owner>.aem.page/ ends in 200: a 404 on
/ fails the whole delivery after every phase has passed (recorded — a sheet
with a row for every .html path and
none for /).
Phase D2 — Dynamic features (dynamics Phases 4–5)
Implement the plan's reproducibility-self rows from the pattern catalogue
(skills/dynamics/reference/patterns.md — index-backed listings and search, modal loader,
media as URL, client-compute blocks, owner-facing tag config disabled, off-origin data tiers,
sheet sync); emit every other row as one owner decision batch and ship its interim tier.
Query indexes build from the published tree — publish per page in Phase C, then poll total.
Each feature ends with a parity row in stardust/dynamics/parity.json carrying a replayable check;
dynamics-check.mjs --origin <live host> runs before Phase H and the report carries its table.
Failed replays are dynamic-gap / api-dependency learnings, never silent passes.
Index-backed listings ship document-first (authored rows, index for non-text and top-up —
dynamics/reference/listings.md); the deploy AI-readability gate runs on every listing page.
A missing query index is a code-branch gap, not a configuration-service problem.
/query-index.json answering 404 means the project ships no helix-query.yaml (the
demo boilerplate does not). The FIRST remedy: author helix-query.yaml at the code
branch root indexing the delivered content roots into target: /query-index.json
(title from og:title, description, image, lastModified; chrome and search
documents excluded — skeleton in skills/dynamics/reference/listings.md § Getting an
index at all), push the branch, make sure the pages are published LIVE, then poll
/query-index.json no more often than every 5 s for at most 10 minutes until total
settles at the page count. No admin-configuration write is part of this — the indexer
builds from live-published pages; a 403 from the configuration service with the
migration token is expected and is not a reason to stop. Only when the code branch is
NOT writable does the sheet-backed interim index ship (recorded interim, decision
named). A recorded hands-off run probed the configuration service, read its 403 as "no
index can be configured" and built the interim index — the fix was one committed yaml.
Search parity is count + titles, not presence. The results block ranks title
matches first and consults description, then body text, only while fewer than N title
hits exist (N = the source's visible count for the probe term), dedupes by title +
description and caps the typeahead at N — N, the top titles and one known hit are read
from the SOURCE during detect and recorded on the search-query check (expectCount,
expectTitles, expectIncludes); dynamics-check.mjs fails the check on a count
mismatch (skills/dynamics/reference/patterns.md § search-index-backed).
Pages built here enter coverage. A results page (or any page without a capture)
has no inventory row, so it stays outside verify.mjs --all, optimize.mjs and the
assembled sitemap unless registered:
node skills/rollout/scripts/update-coverage.mjs --new search --path /search --template search --origin dynamics --title "Search"
then record its status like any page. inventory.mjs keeps such rows on a re-run (the
origin marker in source.migratedHtml identifies them; status untouched), so the line
runs once.
Phase D3 — Multilingual (per-language trees) — optional
When the source has language trees (/fr/…, /en/…), add them as parallel content
trees that REUSE the same block library — only authored content and a little wiring
change (language-routed chrome documents, per-language indexes, per-language path-safety).
See reference/multilingual.md.
Phase E — Full-site verify
node skills/rollout/scripts/verify.mjs # uses rollout.json site.liveHost
# or: --base <url> (explicit host) | --root <dir> (offline, against a local export)
For every delivered page, verify confirms HTTP 200, no about:error (deploy
#75), and that every internal href="/…" resolves to a known delivered path — then
flips each page to verified or failed. Exits non-zero if any page failed.
Headless render check (per template). A 200 .plain.html can still render
blank — decoration failures (missing script, wrong block wrapper class, 404
chrome) are invisible to a text check. On the FIRST delivered page of each
template (home included), load the live URL in a headless browser and assert
decoration ran: the runtime's body.appear class is set (per
stardust/runtime-contract.json), main .section count > 0,
zero pageerror events, zero broken images.
Phase E2 — Link-audit completeness
verify.mjs checks the links on delivered pages; this phase closes the set of
link targets a roster-driven batch misses
(reference/operational-learnings.md § Two verify checks):
- Nav/footer/landing targets are NOT archetype siblings. Enumerate every
hrefin the/nav+/footerdocuments plus each section's index/landing page and confirm each is deployed + published + verified — and that the chrome documents THEMSELVES are published — otherwise they get committed but never published, their links 404, and the dashboard still reads 100%. - Localize source-site bounce links with the deploy stage, not by hand:
node skills/deploy/scripts/localize-links.mjs --source-host <live-host> --content content --redirects stardust/redirects.tsvrewrites every source-host href whose path exists in the content tree (header/footer/home included) to the canonical root-relative form and lists the ones it kept absolute (no local page — a bounce beats a 404). Re-run over the WHOLE tree after every wave: earlier waves' pages gain newly valid targets only when a later wave ships them.--checkis the gate (exit 2 = localizable links remain). - Strip trailing slashes and
.htmlfrom internal links. EDS serves extensionless documents with no trailing slash, so/x/y/and/x/y.htmlboth 404 (render the 404 block) while.plain.htmlstill passes — nav reads green, every link is dead. Normalize every internalhref(keep bare/); repoint.htmllinks with no local page at the working source URL. - The audit GETs each href against the LIVE tree. Structural resolution against the ledger misses trailing-slash and case defects that only delivery exposes.
- Targets missing from the capture. Two cases, both recorded in
direction.mdas a named decision with the list: a target the direction's caps meant to include is a CAPTURE GAP — crawl it first (capture → migrate → gate, never authored from a live read) and deliver when the gap is ≤ 12 pages, else repoint to the source site and list it as scope debt; a target outside the declared caps is SCOPE EXTENSION — repoint regardless of count. External targets: repoint to the source site; other-locale targets: repoint ONLY when that locale root was never captured. Any captured page — astardust/state.jsonrow, includingduplicateOfshells and locale roots — is in scope and is delivered, never repointed (the ≤ 12 rule is for UNcaptured pages; a recorded run dropped ten captured locale roots by citing it). Never leave a 404 (a recorded audit found 10 uncaptured in-scope pages — delivering them was the right call).
Phase F — Optimize: multi-source audit + gate (delivery quality)
The in-flow quality gate. optimize aggregates findings from existing audit
skills into one ledger (optimize/findings.json + optimize/scorecard.json),
tags each by fixability, and gates the rollout. Sources (full mapping in
reference/audit-sources.md):
rollout:baseline— built-in deterministic detectors:node skills/rollout/scripts/optimize.mjs # uses rollout.json site.liveHost # or: --base <url> | --root <dir> | --slug <s> | --allimpeccable:critique+impeccable:audit— design quality + a11y/perf.- The marketing SEO skills —
seo-audit,schema,ai-seo,site-architecture. stardust:tensions— mechanical design tensions fromstardust/current/brand-review.html.
Source parity. When the extract capture exists (stardust/current/pages/<slug>.json
and its rendered sidecar; --current <dir> to point elsewhere), baseline findings the
SOURCE shares — the same <title>, no description on the source either, no JSON-LD on
the source either, the same title shared by the same pages — are tagged fixability: out-of-scope with the evidence prefix source parity: and listed in their own report
section: informational, excluded from the health score and the open P1/P2/P3 counts,
never gated, never auto-fixed. A recorded hands-off run accepted 63 such findings by
hand. Everything else routes as before (reference/checks.md § Source parity).
Normalize each source's findings into the ledger with the writer:
node skills/rollout/scripts/findings.mjs record \
--source marketing:seo-audit --layer seo --check thin-content \
--severity P2 --fixability platform-migration \
--scope-ids blog/post --evidence "…" --recommend "…"
node skills/rollout/scripts/findings.mjs resolve <id> --status accepted --note "…"
All sources share one id space, dedup, scorecard, and the detect → fix → verify
loop: re-running a source resolves its own gone findings; a regressed fixed
finding re-opens; human accepted/wontfix are preserved. Fixability routing:
platform-migration → autofix / re-deploy; design-pass → upstream (surface
only); out-of-scope → informational. The gate exits non-zero if any open P1 is
in scope — a page is delivery-clean only when verify passes and the ledger has
no open P1.
At ~1k-page scale: a
head.html-level fix needs a site-wide republish to land and flip its per-page findings; the optimize gate only audits pages incoverage/pages.json; and faithfully migrated parallel source trees produce legitimate duplicate-title findings (a canonical decision, not a bug). Seereference/operational-learnings.md.
The judgment layers (brand-tensions, design-ux, content-conversion) are scored
null until populated by the impeccable/tensions sources — the scorecard shows
not-assessed rather than faking a score.
Phase G — AEM autofix (close the loop)
node skills/rollout/scripts/autofix-aem.mjs --project <eds-root> # [--dry-run] [--slug s] [--check c]
The platform autofix engine (AEM-EDS, v1 — aggressive). For every open finding
whose check has a registered EDS fixer, it edits the EDS project files, logs
the change on finding.autofix, and stages the finding in-progress:
- deterministic —
eds-fix-h1(exactly one<h1>), sitemap (re-assemble). - content-draft (logged for review) —
eds-metadata-title/eds-metadata-description,eds-alt-draft,eds-disambiguate-title. - manual (prepares guidance/payload) —
eds-jsonld(usemarketing:schema),eds-canonical,eds-landmark-main.
Use --dry-run first. After applying, re-deploy the edited pages, then re-run
verify + optimize — staged findings flip to fixed. design-pass findings
are surfaced, not auto-fixed.
Phase H — Report
Include the dynamic parity table (stardust/qa/dynamics-report.md, from Phase D2) next to
the delivery ledger: per feature its class, reach, status, owner decision and the replayed
check — so the report is honest about what the site does, not only what it shows.
Read rollout.json.lastRun + optimize/scorecard.json (or re-run inventory.mjs):
rollout — <site> → aem-eds
==================================================
Pages <N> total · <v> verified · <d> deployed · <p> pending · <cp> content-pending · <s> stale

Also write/refresh stardust/learnings.md per
skills/stardust/reference/learnings.md: one entry per failure class this run
surfaced (evidence, proposed skill + section to change, status: pending).
plugin maintainers harvest pending entries into skill
diffs — this is how a run's hard-won fixes stop being re-learned.
Phase I — Dashboard
node skills/rollout/scripts/dashboard.mjs # → dashboard/index.html + data.json
A self-contained, no-external-JS dashboard rendered in the project's design
identity (brand tokens read from a migrated page's :root). Centerpiece: a
page tree of every identified page, nested by URL path, each node colour-coded
by the most-advanced lifecycle stage it reached:
identified → prototyped → deployed → optimised
The stage spans state.json (rostered/extracted/directed → identified,
prototyped/approved/migrated → prototyped), rollout coverage
(deployed/verified → deployed), and optimize (optimised = verified and no
open findings). A content-pending sibling stays at identified (it's in the
ledger so delivery can be tracked, but has no designed document yet). Legend counts
are cumulative. Template archetypes are badged T; a page with open
findings shows a red count. Also a templates table + the quality scorecard.
dashboard/data.json is the inspectable snapshot — regenerate at every iteration
boundary. (state.json is read-only and optional.)
Inputs
| Input | Source | Used for |
|---|---|---|
stardust/migrated/*.html | migrate | the pages to deliver (read-only) |
stardust/migrated/**/_meta.json | migrate | templateId (template; an archetype with template: null groups under its own slug; else type), blocks (modules — the inventory report counts sidecars with an empty list: fill them before Phase B), title |
stardust/state.json | stardust core | (archetypes-only mode) full page roster + type for pages not yet migrated |
stardust/rollout/rollout.json | rollout / user | DA target coordinates |
Outputs
| Path | Purpose |
|---|---|
stardust/rollout/coverage/pages.json | per-page delivery ledger (schema: schemas/rollout-pages.schema.json) |
stardust/rollout/coverage/templates.json | template grouping + roll-ups (schema: schemas/rollout-templates.schema.json) |
stardust/rollout/coverage/blocks.json | the block dedup ledger + EDS mapping (schema: schemas/rollout-blocks.schema.json) |
stardust/rollout/plan.json | dedup-driven delivery order + per-page convert/reuse briefs |
stardust/rollout/optimize/findings.json | multi-source quality findings ledger (schema: schemas/rollout-findings.schema.json) |
stardust/rollout/optimize/scorecard.json | quality scorecard + history (schema: schemas/rollout-scorecard.schema.json) |
stardust/rollout/rollout.json | config + lastRun summary (schema: schemas/rollout-config.schema.json) |
stardust/rollout/site/{sitemap.xml,robots.txt,manifest.json} | site-level assembly artifacts |
stardust/rollout/dashboard/{index.html,data.json} | self-contained progress dashboard + snapshot |
edits to the EDS project (content/**, styles/) | applied by autofix-aem (the only files rollout writes outside stardust/rollout/) |
| the delivered EDS site | produced by deploy per page (blocks/, content/, fragments — owned by deploy) |
rollout writes under stardust/rollout/ and — only via autofix-aem — to the
EDS project it delivers to. It never modifies the agnostic core, state.json,
or migrated/ — those are read-only inputs.
Dependencies (audit sources — referenced, not vendored)
optimize orchestrates existing audit skills by invocation; they must be installed:
- impeccable (
critique,audit) — already a stardust dependency. - marketing skills —
seo-audit,schema,ai-seo,site-architecture. Optional; surface a note if absent. - stardust tensions — emitted in-repo by
extract(brand-review.html).
Normalize each one's output into the ledger via findings.mjs record. See
reference/audit-sources.md.
What rollout does NOT do
- No upstream redesign.
design-passfindings are surfaced, not fixed here. autofix only touches platform-fixable findings in the EDS project. - No new transport. Delivery is
deploy's DA Source API path, unchanged. - No redesign of the agnostic core.
extract/direct/prototype/migrateanddeployare untouched. - No full pre-migration requirement. Archetypes-only mode is first-class: block
code is deployed from the archetypes; remaining pages advance from
content-pendingtodeployedasmigrateemits their HTML — no rollout restart.
