Phase 5 of docs/website/THEMING_AND_NAV.md: uploaded logo/hero/favicon
overrides on top of the BRAND_* env defaults, delivered through an HTML
shell that is no longer built once at boot.
- utils/htmlShell.js owns the shell lifecycle: rendered lazily, cached per
process, invalidated on a brand_assets/theme_visual write with a 5-minute
TTL so other workers converge. A settings-read failure renders the
env-only shell and caches that, so a DB outage is not a failing query per
page view, and with no rows the output is byte-identical to what app.js
served before.
- POST /admin/settings/brand-asset/:slot uploads one asset and writes the
row in the same call, so an upload never leaves an unreferenced file. It
reuses the shared multer allowlist and only tightens it per slot: favicons
are PNG-only and capped at 512 KB, logos at 1 MB, heroes at 8 MB. Refused
files are unlinked before the response.
- utils/brandAssets.js constrains a stored asset to a same-origin path under
/uploads, /brand or /assets — these are the only settings values written
straight into the page as a URL. Strict on write, forgiving on read.
- The shell also carries the resolved theme as a <style id="theme-boot">
block, removing the first-paint flash phases 3-4 deferred; SiteContext
drops that block once a successful settings fetch has been applied.
- BrandLogo renders beside the MoonDot on all six shells and renders nothing
when no logo is set, which is the shipped default.
