Decision log — phoenix-website-hallmark

2026-07-16: Project start + Hallmark audit + local prototype

Decision: Create dedicated Gitea repo Tony_tech/phoenix-website-hallmark, store project definition (what/why), full audit notes, and Hallmark homepage prototype. Do not deploy to production.

Rationale: Live site has real content but AI-template structure. Hallmark skill is now available in Leonard. Prototype-first avoids live-patch failure modes. User directed: write only to Gitea and document project purpose.

Implementation:

• Repo: Tony_tech/phoenix-website-hallmark (main)
• Files: README, docs/PROJECT.md, docs/hallmark-audit-2026-07-16.md, docs/decision-log.md, prototype/*

Trade-offs accepted:

• Prototype is homepage-only (not full multi-page)
• Uses live CDN image URLs (not vendored assets)
• Book links still point at production booking (intentional)

Not confirmed: Preferred production host/stack for eventual cutover (Lovable vs self-host vs other).
