app: changelog and engineering blog for grant reporting #79

Description

@joelpeace48-cell

Problem

Grant programmes require periodic progress reports, and hackathon judges want
evidence of sustained work rather than a weekend push. There is nowhere to
publish either, so progress currently lives only in commit history — which
nobody outside the project reads.

What to do

  • A /changelog route rendering markdown from the repository, so writing a
    release note is part of shipping rather than a separate chore.
  • Longer-form posts for the decisions worth explaining: why attestation and
    settlement are separate contracts, what the threat model found, what the
    first testnet fee measurements showed.
  • Tag entries against milestones so a grant report can be assembled from them
    rather than written from scratch.
  • RSS, so people can follow without an account.
  • Publish the awkward things too — a postmortem for a bug found in audit is
    more credible than an unbroken run of feature announcements.

Acceptance criteria

  • Changelog rendered from repository markdown
  • Long-form posts supported with proper metadata
  • Entries tagged to milestones
  • RSS feed available

Notes

The milestone tagging is what makes this pay for itself: writing the report at
the end of a grant period is much harder than assembling entries written as the
work happened.
