# demarkus-library — Debt & Deferred Work

Technical debt and consciously deferred improvements.

## Reading-room rendering upgrades (inspired by markdownviewer.pages.dev)

Capabilities to absorb, NOT the tool (it's a client-side editor — inverse
architecture). Split along ADR 0003:

- **Server-side, zero JS (do first):** syntax highlighting via
  goldmark-highlighting/chroma; GFM alerts; emoji extension. Bluemonday
  policy must allow chroma classes/spans.
- **JS islands (tracked ADR 0003 concessions):** mermaid.js island
  (degrades to `<pre>` code block); KaTeX island (degrades to TeX source).
  Vendored like htmx, no CDN.
- **Editor/split/export = Phase 3 cataloging desk** (CodeMirror island
  already in the plan) — not a bolt-on.

## Existing

- Per-reader MCP session pool: idle eviction is lazy/inline; if pool churn
  ever matters, consider background sweep + metrics.
- Broker `rateLimit.tokens` raised to 60/min during 429 incident — drop to
  ~30/min now that reads are 1 request (deploy-side).
- `mark_worlds` enumeration tool on the broker would enable a generated
  floor page (today the root hub serves by convention).
- Frontmatter strip is render-side only; the publishers that wrote metadata
  fences into bodies should be found and fixed at source.
