+title: Add justfiles for all projects with lint, check, build, build-release, and release recipes
+status: todo
+type: task
+priority: normal
+created_at: 2026-03-10T23:29:17Z

+---
+
+## Background
+
+The root `TODO.md` calls for each project in the mono-repo to have a `justfile` with standard recipe names so that any contributor can run the same commands regardless of project type. `just` is a command runner similar to Make but with cleaner syntax.
+
+## Recipes to add per project
+
+| Recipe | What it runs |
+|---|---|
+| `lint` | Auto-format: `cargo fmt`, `tofu fmt`, `mdbook build` (edu), etc. |
+| `check` | Static checks: `cargo check && cargo clippy`, `tofu validate && tofu plan`, etc. |
+| `build` | Dev build: `cargo build`, `trunk build`, `mdbook build` |
+| `build-release` | Optimised binary or bundle: `cargo build --release`, `trunk build --release` |
+| `release` | Deploy/publish: `tofu apply`, `wrangler deploy` (where applicable) |
+
+Not every project needs every recipe; stub missing ones with an error or a no-op comment.
+
+## Per-project breakdown
+
+### `nbd/justfile`
+- `lint`: `cargo fmt`
+- `check`: `cargo check && cargo clippy && cargo test`
+- `build`: `cargo build`
+- `build-release`: `cargo build --release`
+- `release`: n/a (CLI tool, no deployment)
+
+### `edu/justfile`
+- `lint`: `mdbook build` (build validates the content)
+- `check`: `mdbook build`
+- `build`: `mdbook build`
+- `build-release`: same as `build` (mdbook has no separate release mode)
+- `release`: TBD — CF Pages auto-deploys from main branch once infra is configured (see edu deployment ticket)
+
+### `quotesdb/api/justfile`
+- `lint`: `cargo fmt`
+- `check`: `cargo check && cargo clippy`
+- `build`: `cargo build`
+- `build-release`: `cargo build --release`
+- `release`: `wrangler deploy` (or `tofu apply` from `infra/`)
+
+### `quotesdb/ui/justfile`
+- `lint`: `cargo fmt`
+- `check`: `cargo check && cargo clippy`
+- `build`: `trunk build`
+- `build-release`: `trunk build --release`
+- `release`: CF Pages auto-deploys from main branch once infra is configured
+
+## Files to create
+
+- `nbd/justfile`
+- `edu/justfile`
+- `quotesdb/api/justfile`
+- `quotesdb/ui/justfile`
+
+## Conventions
+
+- Recipe names must be consistent across all projects (`lint`, `check`, `build`, `build-release`, `release`).
+- Commands are run from the directory containing the `justfile`, so paths are relative to the project directory.
+- Add a comment above each recipe explaining what it does.
+- Check whether the `just` package is already in each project's Nix dev shell (`flake.nix`); add it if missing.

+title: Add contact footer to all service front-ends
+status: todo
+type: task
+priority: low
+created_at: 2026-03-10T23:29:17Z
+updated_at: 2026-03-10T23:29:17Z
+---
+
+## Background
+
+The root `TODO.md` calls for a footer on every service front-end with contact info:
+
+> Contact: `<site>@elijah.run`
+
+Where `<site>` depends on the service.
+
+## Target services and email addresses
+
+| Service | Front-end type | Contact email |
+|---|---|---|
+| `quotesdb` | Yew (Rust/Wasm) | `quotes@elijah.run` |
+| `edu` | mdbook static site | `vibedbooks@elijah.run` |
+| Blog editor | Yew (not yet built) | `editor@elijah.run` |
+
+## Implementation
+
+### quotesdb/ui
+
+Add a `Footer` component to the Yew app:
+
+1. Create `quotesdb/ui/src/components/footer.rs` (or add inline to `app.rs`).
+2. Render a `<footer>` element at the bottom of every page with the text:
+   `Contact: quotes@elijah.run`
+3. Use an `<a href="mailto:quotes@elijah.run">` tag so it is clickable.
+4. Include the footer in the top-level layout so every route shows it.
+
+### edu (mdbook)
+
+mdbook supports injecting HTML before/after the content via the `[output.html]` table in `book.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[output.html]
+additional-js = []
+additional-css = []
+```
+
+Or use the `before-content` / `after-content` HTML templates. More precisely, create `edu/theme/footer.hbs` with the footer markup and register it in `book.toml`.
+
+Alternatively (simpler): add a `theme/` directory with an `index.hbs` that extends the default template and appends the footer. The mdbook docs for custom theming describe this approach.
+
+Simplest option: add `footer.html` fragment via `[output.html] additional-js` hack, or just add a sentence at the bottom of each page — but that is not scalable.
+
+**Recommended approach for mdbook:** Use mdbook's `theme/index.hbs` override (copy the default from the mdbook source) and add the footer HTML before the closing `</body>` tag:
+
+```html
+<footer style="text-align:center;padding:1em;opacity:0.6">
+  Contact: <a href="mailto:vibedbooks@elijah.run">vibedbooks@elijah.run</a>
+</footer>
+```
+
+## Files involved
+
+- `edu/theme/index.hbs` (new — copy from mdbook default, add footer)
+- `edu/book.toml` (may need `[output.html] theme = "theme"` entry)
+- `quotesdb/ui/src/components/footer.rs` (new) or similar

-## Task Tracking with nbd
+**IMPORTANT**: before you do anything else, run the `beans prime` command and heed its output.
 
-`nbd` is a CLI tool for managing work tickets, designed for agent workflows.
-
-### Initialisation
+This project uses **beans** for issue tracking. `beans prime` outputs the full usage guide for the current project — always follow its instructions for creating, updating, and tracking work.
 
 ```sh
-nbd init
-```
-
-Run once in the project root. Creates `.nbd/tickets/`. Safe to run multiple times.
+# Initialise (run once per project directory)
+beans init
 
-### Core commands
-
-```sh
-# Create a new ticket (use --ftype md for a human-readable body)
-nbd create --title "Add OAuth login" --type feature --priority 7 --ftype md --json
-
-# List all open tickets (sorted by priority)
-nbd list --json
-
-# Read a specific ticket
-nbd read <id> --json
-
-# Update a ticket
-nbd update <id> --status in_progress --json
-nbd update <id> --status done --json
+# Get full usage guide and instructions for this project
+beans prime
 ```
 
-### Finding what to work on
-
-```sh
-# All tickets that are unblocked and ready to start
-nbd ready --json
-
-# The single highest-priority unblocked ticket
-nbd next --json
-```
-
-### Workflow
-
-1. **Before starting** — create a ticket: `nbd create --title "..." --ftype md --json`
-2. **When starting** — mark it in progress: `nbd update <id> --status in_progress --json`
-3. **When done** — mark it complete: `nbd update <id> --status done --json`
-
-### Guidelines
-
-- **Always pass `--json`** to every command for structured, unambiguous output.
-- **Always pass `--ftype md`** when creating tickets — markdown format keeps the body human-readable.
-- Use `jq` to parse and transform JSON output when needed.
-- Priority scale 0–10: use **7–9** for bugs, **5** for normal tasks, **3** for nice-to-haves.
-- `--type` choices: `project`, `feature`, `task`, `bug`.
-- Use `--deps id1,id2` to express blockers — tickets that must be done first.
-- Create tickets *before* starting non-trivial tasks, not after.

+## Background
+
+From `edu/TODO.md`: Hands-on: Machine Learning; training a computer to play a game by playing against itself (a-la Alpha Go Zero).
+
+A self-play reinforcement learning course. The practical focus is implementing a simplified version of the MCTS + neural network self-play loop in Rust, targeting a simple deterministic two-player game (e.g., Tic-Tac-Toe or Connect Four).
+
+## Content outline (suggested)
+
+### Part 1 — Foundations
+1. What is reinforcement learning? (state, action, reward, policy, value)
+2. Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) — algorithm explained step by step
+3. Why self-play? The AlphaGo Zero insight
+
+### Part 2 — The Game
+4. Choosing a simple game: Tic-Tac-Toe as the learning vehicle
+5. Representing game state in Rust
+6. Exercise 1: Implement the game logic (move generation, win detection, terminal states)
+
+### Part 3 — MCTS
+7. Implementing MCTS in Rust (selection, expansion, simulation, backpropagation)
+8. Exercise 2: Play Tic-Tac-Toe with pure MCTS (no neural network)
+
+### Part 4 — Neural Network Policy/Value Head
+9. Overview of the network architecture (shared trunk + policy head + value head)
+10. Integrating a neural network crate (e.g., `tch-rs` or `candle`)
+11. Exercise 3: Train the network on MCTS-generated data
+12. Exercise 4: Replace MCTS simulation with the learned value function
+
+### Part 5 — Self-Play Loop
+13. The full Alpha Go Zero training loop: generate data → train → evaluate → repeat
+14. Exercise 5: Run 1000 self-play games and observe the policy improving
+

+created_at: 2026-03-10T23:30:01Z
+updated_at: 2026-03-10T23:30:01Z
+---
+
+## Background
+
+From `edu/TODO.md`:
+- Host the mdbook on Cloudflare Pages
+- Host on vibebooks.elijah.run
+- Create an `infra/` directory containing opentofu configs for the above
+- Add a big disclaimer about the content being AI-generated
+
+## Sub-tasks
+
+### 1. Add AI-generated disclaimer
+
+Add a prominent disclaimer page or preface to the mdbook. The disclaimer should say (in the user's words):
+> these [chapters] are AI generated and not intended to be definitive, trustworthy, or even good, just an experiment in generating tailored educational content about topics I am interested in but not sure where to start, and with a practical focus on exercises with Rust since that is the language I use most often
+
+Placement options:
+- A dedicated `src/disclaimer.md` page added first in `src/SUMMARY.md`
+- Or a callout block at the top of every chapter (requires mdbook preprocessor)
+- Recommended: `src/disclaimer.md` as the first page, with a short note in each chapter's preamble
+
+### 2. Create `edu/infra/` with OpenTofu configs
+
+Follow the pattern from `quotesdb/infra/` (Cloudflare provider, tofu modules).
+
+Minimal resources:
+- `cloudflare_pages_project` — create the Pages project named `vibedbooks`
+- `cloudflare_pages_domain` — bind `vibebooks.elijah.run` to the Pages project
+- `cloudflare_record` — CNAME DNS record pointing `vibebooks` at the Pages subdomain
+
+File layout:
+```
+edu/infra/
+├── main.tf          # provider config, cloudflare_pages_project
+├── dns.tf           # cloudflare_record and cloudflare_pages_domain
+├── variables.tf     # cloudflare_account_id, cloudflare_zone_id, etc.
+├── outputs.tf       # pages subdomain URL
+└── .gitignore       # *.tfstate, .terraform/
+```
+
+All `resource` and `data` blocks must have a comment explaining their purpose (per CLAUDE.md conventions).
+
+### 3. Configure mdbook build for CF Pages
+
+Cloudflare Pages can auto-build mdbook sites if given the right build command and output directory. Set in the Pages project config:
+- Build command: `mdbook build`
+- Build output directory: `book`
+- Root directory: `edu/`
+
+Alternatively, use a CI/CD pipeline (GitHub Actions / Gitea Actions) to build and push to the Pages project via `wrangler pages deploy`.
+
+### 4. Add edu/justfile
+
+Add a `release` recipe to `edu/justfile` (see justfiles ticket) that triggers the Pages deployment once infra is configured.
+
+## Relevant files
+
+- `edu/book.toml` — mdbook configuration
+- `edu/src/SUMMARY.md` — add disclaimer page
+- `edu/src/disclaimer.md` (new)
+- `edu/infra/` (new directory)
+- Cloudflare dashboard: Pages project, DNS zone `elijah.run`
+
+## Validation
+
+- `tofu validate && tofu plan` from `edu/infra/`
+- `mdbook build` from `edu/` — builds without errors
+- After deploy: `curl -I https://vibebooks.elijah.run` returns 200

+## Background
+
+From `edu/TODO.md`: Hands-on: Shader programming.
+
+A practical introduction to GPU shaders, written with Rust as the host language. The course covers the graphics pipeline conceptually and has hands-on exercises writing WGSL shaders driven by `wgpu`.
+
+## Content outline (suggested)
+
+### Part 1 — The GPU and the Graphics Pipeline
+1. CPU vs GPU: parallel execution model
+2. The programmable pipeline: vertex shaders, fragment shaders, compute shaders
+3. What is WGSL? (WebGPU Shading Language) — syntax overview
+
+### Part 2 — Setting Up with wgpu
+4. What is `wgpu`? Cross-platform graphics API in Rust
+5. Exercise 1: Create a window and clear it to a colour (the GPU 'hello world')
+6. The render loop: swap chains, frames, command encoders
+
+### Part 3 — Vertex and Fragment Shaders
+7. Vertices, buffers, and the vertex shader
+8. Interpolation and the fragment shader
+9. Exercise 2: Draw a coloured triangle
+10. Exercise 3: Animate the triangle using a time uniform
+
+### Part 4 — Textures and Samplers
+11. Texture coordinates (UVs), texture creation, sampler config
+12. Exercise 4: Render a textured quad
+
+### Part 5 — Compute Shaders
+13. Compute pipelines: dispatching work groups
+14. Storage buffers and read/write access from WGSL
+15. Exercise 5: GPU-accelerate a particle simulation
+
+### Part 6 — Going Further
+16. Post-processing effects (bloom, blur) — conceptual overview
+17. Signed Distance Fields for font rendering
+18. Resources: Learn WGPU tutorial, Shadertoy, The Book of Shaders
+
+## File to create
+
+- `edu/src/shaders.md`
+- Add to `edu/src/SUMMARY.md` under a `# Graphics` section
+
+## Summary of Changes
+
+All 18 sections written with full educational content covering the GPU execution model, wgpu setup, vertex/fragment shaders, textures, compute shaders, and advanced topics. ~4400 lines of content including full Rust+WGSL code examples, ASCII diagrams, and 5 hands-on exercises.

+## Background
+
+From `edu/TODO.md`: write a chapter about how to structure a co-op profit-sharing worker-owned business.
+
+This is a conceptual/informational chapter, not a Rust hands-on. It fits naturally in the Vibed Learning book as a practical guide for engineers who might want to start or join a worker cooperative.
+
+## Content outline (suggested)
+
+1. **What is a worker cooperative?** — definition, historical examples, how they differ from traditional businesses
+2. **Legal structures** — co-op incorporation options by jurisdiction (US LCA/LLC, UK LLP, etc.), relevant legislation
+3. **Profit sharing models** — patronage dividends, equal shares, labor-hour weighted, hybrid approaches
+4. **Governance** — one-member-one-vote, board structure, decision-making processes
+5. **Practical startup steps** — founding documents, initial capital, operating agreements
+6. **Case studies** — Mondragon, REI, Cooperative Home Care Associates, tech co-ops (Loomio, etc.)
+7. **Resources and further reading**
+
+## File to create
+
+- `edu/src/co-op.md`
+- Add to `edu/src/SUMMARY.md` under a new `# Business` section (or `# Other Topics`)
+
+## Notes
+
+This chapter is explicitly not intended to be authoritative legal or financial advice — add the standard AI-generated disclaimer.
