README

The Laravel host for fancy-cms — an extendable inline-WYSIWYG website + app-shell builder built on the Fancy UI suite. This package owns the PHP renderer (node tree → HTML + compiled CSS + island placeholders), and — in later phases — persistence, the file API on any disk, and publish routing.

Status: Phase 0 (spine). Ships FancyCms\Render\CssEmitter — the PHP half of the dual-emitter pair, a byte-for-byte mirror of the JS emitter in @particle-academy/fancy-cms-ui. Verified by the parity harness (fancy-cms-ui/parity). PageRenderer is a skeleton; persistence + routing land in Phase 1.

Architecture & plan: fancy-ui/docs/fancy-cms.md.

Why two emitters

The editor (JS) and the published site (PHP) must produce identical CSS from the same document — "what you build" === "what ships". The two emitters are kept honest by a cross-engine parity harness, the same discipline used for dark-slide / holy-sheet (PHP ≡ Node).

php bin/emit-css.php path/to/doc.json   # emit CSS for a Stages document

Principles

• Guest, not host — adopted per-surface; respects host auth/layout/data.
• Human+ is opt-in — core works with no websockets or agents.
