ADR-0001: Handbook as a dedicated repo

Context

A personal GitLab-style handbook is wanted. The raw material already lives in the Obsidian vault, but a public, curated version with its own identity is needed.

Decision

The handbook is a dedicated git repo with its own Quartz instance, deployed to Cloudflare Pages on its own subdomain (handbook.monters.org). It is not authored inside the vault; the repo is the source of truth for the public version.

Alternatives considered

  • A section of the existing garden: less separation and identity; mixes the handbook with study notes.
  • Authored in the vault + contentSync: would cross content in two directions and expose wikilinks to private notes.

Consequences

  • A known stack (Quartz) and an already-proven deploy pipeline.
  • Public content is written depersonalized; sensitive detail stays in the vault.
