Subject: [PATCH] Trim CLAUDE.md to non-discoverable context only

Remove project structure, tech stack, services, Makefile targets, DNS,
and other sections that duplicate what's already in the code.

 Personal blog and server infrastructure for monotrope.au.
 
-## Project Structure
+## Theme & Concept
 
-```
-monotrope/
-  site/                    # Hugo site (content, templates, CSS)
-  infra/
-    ansible/playbook.yml   # Single playbook for all server provisioning
-    miniflux/              # Docker Compose for Miniflux RSS reader
-    Caddyfile              # Copied to /etc/caddy/Caddyfile by Ansible
-  deploy.sh                # Build + rsync to production
-  Makefile                 # Common tasks
-  .env                     # Local secrets (not committed)

+The name is a play on [monotropism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotropism) —
+the theory of autistic cognition as deep, singular focus. The site is built around
+that idea: deep attention, flow states, and resisting the fragmentation of modern
+(especially AI-mediated) work. It's also an exercise in ownership — writing and
+reviews live here instead of on corporate platforms.
 
-## Tech Stack
+The tone is personal and reflective. Content includes writing (posts) and book
+reviews across all genres.
 
-- **Static site generator:** Hugo (no theme — templates built from scratch)
-- **Web server:** Caddy (automatic HTTPS via Let's Encrypt)
-- **Hosting:** DigitalOcean droplet (Sydney region, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS)
-- **Deployment:** `hugo --minify` then `rsync` to `/var/www/monotrope`
-- **Provisioning:** Ansible (`infra/ansible/playbook.yml`)
+The terminal/CRT visual aesthetic is deliberate, not just decorative — it
+reinforces the themes of simplicity, focus, and rejecting modern web bloat.
+No JavaScript unless strictly necessary. No images or decorative elements beyond
+CSS. The design should feel minimal, typographic, and monospaced-first.
 
-## Services
+## Hosting
 
-| Service     | URL                         | How it runs     | Port |
-|-------------|-----------------------------|-----------------|------|
-| Blog        | https://monotrope.au        | Static files    | —    |
-| Miniflux    | https://reader.monotrope.au | Docker Compose  | 8080 |
-| GoatCounter | https://stats.monotrope.au  | systemd binary  | 8081 |
-
-## Ansible Playbook
-
-**All server changes must go through Ansible.** Everything must be idempotent — no ad-hoc SSH changes.
-
-The playbook is at `infra/ansible/playbook.yml`. Tags let individual services be re-provisioned without touching the rest.
-
-| Tag           | What it covers                                       |
-|---------------|------------------------------------------------------|
-| `miniflux`    | Miniflux Docker Compose + Caddyfile update           |
-| `goatcounter` | GoatCounter binary, systemd service + Caddyfile      |
-| (no tag)      | Full provisioning (system, Caddy, Docker, UFW, users)|
-
-### Secrets
-
-Pulled from environment variables, loaded from `.env` via Makefile:
-
-```
-MONOTROPE_HOST
-MINIFLUX_DB_PASSWORD
-MINIFLUX_ADMIN_USER
-MINIFLUX_ADMIN_PASSWORD
-GOATCOUNTER_ADMIN_EMAIL
-GOATCOUNTER_ADMIN_PASSWORD
-```
-
-### GoatCounter
-
-Runs as a systemd service (not Docker) using the pre-built binary from GitHub releases.
-Version is pinned via `goatcounter_version` var in the playbook.
-Initial site/user creation is gated on a `/var/lib/goatcounter/.admin_created` marker file
-so re-running the playbook never attempts to recreate the user.
-
-## Makefile Targets
-
-```
-make build        # hugo --minify
-make serve        # hugo server --buildDrafts (local dev)
-make deploy       # build + rsync to production
-make ssh          # SSH as deploy user
-make setup        # Full Ansible provisioning (fresh droplet)
-make miniflux     # Ansible --tags miniflux
-make goatcounter  # Ansible --tags goatcounter
-```
-
-## DNS
-
-- `monotrope.au` → droplet IP (A record)
-- `www.monotrope.au` → droplet IP (A record, redirects to apex via Caddy)
-- `reader.monotrope.au` → droplet IP (A record)
-- `stats.monotrope.au` → droplet IP (A record)
-
-## Site Layout
-
-Content lives in `site/content/`:
-- `posts/` — writing
-- `reviews/` — book reviews
-- `about.md` — about page (uses `layouts/page/single.html`)
-
-Templates are in `site/layouts/`. No JavaScript unless strictly necessary.
-The GoatCounter analytics script is injected in `baseof.html` and only loads
-in production builds (`hugo.IsProduction`).
