Why the garden lives inside Ghost

Most of these decisions trade automation for control: nothing is published, deleted or rewritten without an explicit mark from me.

• Obsidian synced into Ghost, not a separate garden site. One site, one look, and Stamps and Stickies work on notes too.
• Syncthing through the NAS, not Obsidian Sync or Git. Free, private, and works from the phone. Git on Android is unreliable.
• Publish only with publish: true. Private notes stay private.
• The sync talks to Ghost on the local network. Ghost’s admin is behind Cloudflare Access.
• Posts stay in Ghost; the sync only reads them. Ghost’s editor, cards and newsletters stay intact.
• TL;DRs in my own words, no AI. A custom excerpt wins; otherwise the strongest line. AI summaries can come later, with my approval.
