phase 3 (branch): flip to block theme (hybrid)

Add templates/index.html → wp_is_block_theme() now true. Hybrid behavior verified:
most-specific template wins, ties go to the block template. So generic content
(posts/search/404/blog/generic pages) now renders via the block templates, while
homepage (front-page.php), page-{slug}.php, and category/tag.php stay classic
(more specific) until migrated. Health-swept: 200, no fatals.

Decision: embrace block styling for generic pages. Migration is now incremental
(author templates/page-{slug}.html → tie-beats the classic file → delete classic).
main stays fully classic; this is all on the fse-migration branch.

+- **2026-06-19** — **Phase 3 (branch `fse-migration`): FLIPPED to a block theme (hybrid).** Added
 
+  `templates/index.html` (Query Loop) → `wp_is_block_theme()` is now true. **Key mechanic (verified
 
+  by experiment):** WordPress picks the **most-specific** template; **on a tie the block template
 
+  wins**. So with our generic block templates present:
 
+  - **Block-rendered now:** posts (`single.html` ties+beats `single.php`), search, 404, blog index,
 
+    and *generic* plain pages (`page.html`). Verified 200, no fatals.
 
+  - **Still classic (more-specific wins):** homepage (`front-page.php` > `index.html`), `page-{slug}.php`
 
+    (studio/about/now/… > `page.html`), and `category.php`/`tag.php` (> generic `archive.html`).
 
+  - **Decision (user):** *embrace block styling* — generic pages adopt theme.json/core block styling
 
+    (plainer than the old Bootstrap `.entry-content` look; that's accepted). Comment form needs a look
 
+    (didn't render on a closed-comments post). Header/footer chrome stays Bootstrap (via the parts).
 
+  - **Migration is now incremental + safe:** to convert a page, author `templates/page-{slug}.html`
 
+    (tie-beats its `page-{slug}.php`), verify, then delete the classic file. `main` is still fully
 
+    classic — all this lives on the `fse-migration` branch.
 
+  - **Next:** refine the generic block templates to read cleanly; migrate the bespoke `page-*.php`
 
+    (studio/about/art/now/music/desk/archive/contact/analytics/sitemap) one at a time.
