Welcome to the journal

This is a placeholder entry to verify that the MDX pipeline compiles, frontmatter parses correctly, and the brand typography from JUS-7 renders the way we want it to.

What this proves

The plumbing is working end-to-end. Every piece of the chain has to line up for this page to render — and it does.

• Frontmatter parsed by gray-matter
• MDX compiled in a Server Component via next-mdx-remote/rsc
• GitHub-flavored markdown extensions enabled (remark-gfm)
• Typography styled with the JUS-7 design tokens (Fraunces for headings, Inter for body, copper accents)

Replacing this placeholder

Drop a new .mdx file in content/articles/ with the same frontmatter shape and it will appear on the listing page automatically, sorted by date.

The point isn't to finish the journal today. The point is to have somewhere honest to start.

That's it for the placeholder. Real writing comes next.
