The engine behind the site you’re reading. msite-core is a hand-built WordPress plugin that turns a stock install into a serial-fiction press and portfolio: custom post types for books, chapters, and projects; a Markdown importer that takes a Google Docs export from draft to published chapter without touching code; and a PDF pipeline that typesets every chapter and compiled book with mPDF — title pages, clickable tables of contents, bookmarks — regenerating automatically when a chapter changes.
Around the content core sits the operational layer: SEO and OpenGraph emitters with a fallback chain, a hardened security-header baseline with a hash-pinned Content-Security-Policy, XML-RPC lockdown, and cache-safe asset versioning for a managed host. The companion theme is a classic PHP theme written from scratch — design tokens as custom properties, a dark-first color system with a manual toggle, and strict WCAG conformance proven by an in-repo audit harness.
Every layer is verified by committed acceptance scripts and browser harnesses — the kind of test rig you’d want on a team project, built for a site of one. This site is the demo.
