The admin signs in with the shared password, creates a Menu Set, drops photos into it (shrunk in the browser first), reorders Pages by dragging or with up/down buttons, previews the Draft exactly as customers would see it, and publishes it over the previous set. Restore and delete close the loop. Mutations need a session, a same-origin request and a CSRF token derived from the session; a Draft's media is served only to a session holder.
menu-admin
Uploads, orders and publishes the customer-facing menus of a restaurant Site as
photographed Pages, replacing the scp-a-JPG workflow. One instance per Site;
docs/plan.md is the agreed design and CONTEXT.md is the glossary.
Status
Built: Site config, the Menu Set store, the image pipeline, the customer-facing renderer (landing page, Section pages, archived sets, media route) with the approved design, and the admin (sign in, create a set, upload and reorder Pages, preview, publish, restore, delete). Not yet built: the container, the Ansible playbook and the deploy.

Working on it
Node 24 or newer runs the TypeScript sources directly.
npm install
npm test # node:test
npm run typecheck # tsc --noEmit
npm run seed # placeholder Pages in .dev/data, for design review
npm run dev # http://localhost:3000 against .dev
To sign in locally, put a password hash in .dev/site.env:
printf 'ADMIN_PASSWORD_HASH=%s\nSESSION_SECRET=%s\n' \
"$(node -e "import('./src/auth.ts').then(async m => process.stdout.write(await m.hashPassword('your password')))")" \
"$(node -e "process.stdout.write(require('node:crypto').randomBytes(32).toString('base64url'))")" \
> .dev/site.env
Who can do what
/ and /<section>/ are public. /admin needs the password; a Draft's Pages
are served only to a signed-in session, and Originals have no route at all.
Storage model
data/
├── originals/<section>/<set-id>/<page-id>.<hash>.<ext> # kept, never served
├── drafts/<section>/<set-id>/ # manifest.json + variants
└── published/<section>/<slug>/ # manifest.json + variants
The directory decides a Menu Set's state; the manifest carries metadata only.
<slug> is the valid-until date, else the publication date. The Current Menu
Set for a Section is the published one with the newest publishedAt. Published
sets are immutable: changing a menu means publishing a new set.
