Executive Summary — Cursor Prompt Logs
Condensed summary of the AI-assisted development sessions that built CochranBlock. Themes, decisions, and outcomes.
Overview
This site was built through iterative Cursor agent sessions spanning architecture, implementation, deployment, and polish. The logs capture user intent, agent execution, and course corrections.
Key Themes
- Resume Superninja — Extracted zip deliverables (architecture guide, compression maps, testing architecture) and resumed implementation from Week 1 skeleton. Tokenization (f0, t0, p0 identifiers) applied per whitepaper.
- Single Binary — CochranBlock server, assets, content, and test suite compiled into one Rust executable. No external runtime dependencies.
- HTTPS & ACME — Let's Encrypt via Cloudflare DNS-01. Vendored OpenSSL for Windows; Strawberry Perl required for build. ACME mandatory, no escape hatch.
- Cloudflare Tunnel — Moved from Quick Tunnel (trycloudflare.com) to named tunnel for cochranblock.org. Tunnel spawned by default from the binary; WSL config for full CA pool.
- Admin Purge — Removed admin panel, auth, setup. Public-facing only: Hero, Services, About Me, Contact.
- Rules & Tokenization — Anti-patterns, CI pipeline, tokenization rules enforced. Compression map is source of truth. Tests validate real logic, not frameworks.
- UI/UX — Cosmic theme (Guardians of the Galaxy), mobile nav, skip link, focus states, testimonial, outcome-focused services, skills chips, print resume.
Decisions
- Rust first — No bash scripts for ACME; pure Rust. Tunnel built into binary.
- WSL preferred — Terminal commands in WSL. Build and serve from Linux when possible.
- Rebuild → redeploy — Rule: after rebuild, kill old process and start new binary without asking.
- Warnings as errors — Workspace lints deny warnings.
