Bundle components

Bundle notes

• Promotes Foundry Core v0.1.24 with the Social & Presence family and the static-first social-preview-grid block.
• Keeps social/presence API sync optional; curated, embed, static-import, and api-materialized items all render as normal site-owned data.
• Includes the Creative validation/productization checkpoint, quality gates, scaffold contracts, and expanded compatibility fixtures from the core release.
• A restricted proof consumer completed the bundle verification path.

Foundry is a portable, Hugo-native system for assembling, styling, validating, and evolving sites from explicit repository contracts. Foundry Core supplies the runtime and machine-readable contracts. Distribution pins compatible releases. Foundry Control adds managed workflows without becoming a requirement for owning the site.

Choose a path by role

• Site owners: begin with the first-site guide, then read compatibility and versioning before choosing an upgrade.
• Site builders: follow Learn, then use Build for sections, blocks, themes, motion, SEO, forms, and tracking.
• Theme and Core developers: start with Architecture, then use the shipped reference and validation contracts for the selected bundle.
• Integrators and AI agents: use Reference and treat schemas, manifests, and CLI JSON as higher authority than prose or chat memory.
• Foundry operators: use Operate for public procedures and the restricted handbook for readiness and managed runbooks.
• Foundry maintainers: inspect Releases and Evidence before changing a contract or promoting a bundle.
