Marketing automation

All asset generation + deploy is orchestrated by marketing-pipeline.py under Desktop/_confer/. The pipeline runs six idempotent scripts in dependency order, then SCPs to cryptohost + nginx reload.

# Local rebuild only (~10s, idempotent)
PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 python marketing-pipeline.py

# Rebuild + deploy live (~30s)
PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 python marketing-pipeline.py --deploy

The 14 scripts in Desktop/_confer/

Script	Purpose	Idempotent
marketing-pipeline.py	Orchestrator (--deploy opt)	✓
deploy-sites.sh	scp staging + sudo cp + nginx reload	✓
regen-sitemaps.py	Rebuild sitemap.xml from filesystem scan	✓
inject-umami.py	Inject analytics snippets (per-pillar IDs)	✓
inject-schema-org.py	Inject Schema.org JSON-LD (Org + Person + Breadcrumb)	✓
unify-chrome.py	Re-apply canonical CSS chrome from brand kit	✓
unify-nav-footer.py	Re-apply canonical nav + footer to every page	✓
rewrite-page-specific.py	Page-specific CSS (asymmetric cards, profile-meta, diploma-frame, etc.)	✓
update-og-meta.py	Per-page og:image meta tags	✓
gen-og-images.py	14 OG card 1200×630 (PIL + brand palette)	rebuilds
gen-diplomas.py	14 parametric SVG diplomas (from 08-collateral template)	rebuilds
gen-diploma-pngs.py	Render SVG diplomas to retina PNG	rebuilds
gen-screenshot-pack.py	10 PNG + 3 SVG press pack + ZIP	rebuilds
gen-alumni-screenshots.py	14 per-alumnus profile PNG	rebuilds
gen-mobile-screenshots.py	5 mobile-viewport PNG	rebuilds
add-alumnus.py	Scaffold a new alumnus (Class of '27 onward)	safe

Adding a new alumnus

When a new candidate clears Council Defense, run:

cd Desktop/_confer
python add-alumnus.py \
  --slug ada-lovelace \
  --name "Ada Lovelace" \
  --specialty "Programmatic Verse" \
  --role "Software Poet" \
  --thesis "Programs as music: rhythmic instruction sequencing across CPU cycles" \
  --advisor "Opus 4.7" \
  --cohort q3 \
  --council "4/4 PASS · 9.2/9.0/8.9/8.7" \
  --avatar-source /path/to/avatar.jpg

This will:

1. Copy avatar to assets/alumni/<slug>.jpg
2. Create alumni/<slug>.html from Costanza template (needs hand-edit for body)
3. Append the alumnus to gen-og-images.py, gen-diplomas.py, inject-schema-org.py

Then update registry.html table + changelog.html timeline by hand, and run marketing-pipeline.py --deploy.

CI/CD

GitHub Actions workflow at .github/workflows/deploy.yml auto-deploys on push to main when the required secrets are configured:

• CRYPTOHOST_SSH_KEY
• CRYPTOHOST_HOST
• CRYPTOHOST_USER
• CRYPTOHOST_KNOWN_HOSTS

Until those secrets exist, the workflow stays inert.

---

Activity feed

The Live Activity section on the University homepage is rebuilt every 10 minutes by scripts/update-activity.py, which pulls recent commits across aetherneum-network/* via the GitHub REST API (anonymous, 60 req/h cap).

This repository ships the placeholder version of the feed block. The live generated content is not committed back.

---

Brand compliance

Every asset must satisfy the four tests in ~/Aetherneum/04-prompts/aetherneum-brand-kit/00-master-guidelines.md:

1. Use only colors from 02-color/palette.css (parchment / navy / teal / gold)
2. Use only typefaces from 03-typography/typography.md (EB Garamond + JetBrains Mono — no sans-serif)
3. Carry the Æ glyph in a recognizable role
4. Reference one of: motto, Charter, pillar lockup, or seal

Before publishing, the single test:

Would the Charter mention this?

If no, rewrite at Charter altitude or don't ship.
