One entry. Two paths.

Astro renders the public pages at build time. The browser receives complete HTML. JavaScript adds theme controls, purposeful scroll motion and form handling.

Each layer has a job.

The browser

Shows content, reads the theme preference, animates the concept, validates form fields and displays server-confirmed outcomes. It has no database credentials.

The static build

Produces the pages, assets, sitemap and OpenAPI contract. The output directory is dist/. No framework server renders the pages at request time.

Pages Functions

Routes in functions/api/ handle signup and removal. Shared code in functions/_lib/http.ts checks methods, origins, formats and body size.

D1

The DB binding supplies a dedicated database. Prepared statements persist signups, count validated attempts and remove registrations.

public/_routes.json limits Functions invocation to /api/*. Static security headers are defined in public/_headers; the API attaches its own response headers.

Where this system stops.

There is no purchase connector, reward engine, financial account, custody service, wallet, blockchain integration or partner API in this repository. Financial terminology describes the concept, not implemented settlement behavior.

Cloudflare Pages hosts both the static output and its Pages Functions bundle. This project does not deploy a standalone Worker application.
