 # ghost-upload
 
-This tool synchronizes posts from https://projects.ansonbiggs.com to the Ghost blog at https://notes.ansonbiggs.com.
+This tool uploads posts from https://projects.ansonbiggs.com to https://notes.ansonbiggs.com.
 
-## Features
+What's new:
+- Uses the Ghost Admin API to check for existing posts by slug instead of probing the public site.
+- Optional update support: set `UPDATE_EXISTING=true` to update an existing post in-place (via `PUT /ghost/api/v3/admin/posts/{id}?source=html`).
+- Safer slug handling (trims trailing `/` and falls back to the last path segment).
 
-- **Clean content extraction**: Uses Quarto ghost profile to generate clean HTML instead of iframes
+Env vars:
-- **Duplicate prevention**: Checks Ghost Admin API to avoid creating duplicate posts
+- `admin_api_key`: Ghost Admin API key in `key_id:secret` format.
-- **AI summaries**: Uses Kagi Summarizer for post summaries
+- `kagi_api_key`: Kagi Summarizer API key.
-- **Dual content rendering**: GitLab CI builds both main site and ghost-optimized versions
+- `UPDATE_EXISTING` (optional): if `true`/`1`, update posts that already exist in Ghost.
 
-## How It Works
+Notes:
-
+- Updates use optimistic concurrency by sending the current `updated_at` from Ghost. If someone edits a post in Ghost after we fetch it, the update will fail with a 409 and be reported in the console.
-1. **Dual Build Process**: GitLab CI builds the site twice:
+- Summaries are always regenerated when creating or updating; if you want to avoid re-summarizing on updates, leave `UPDATE_EXISTING` unset.
-   - Main site → `public/` (normal theme with navigation)
-   - Ghost content → `public/ghost-content/` (minimal theme for content extraction)
-
-2. **Content Extraction**: Rust tool fetches clean HTML from the ghost-content version instead of using iframes
-
-3. **Duplicate Detection**: Uses Ghost Admin API to check for existing posts by slug
-
-## Environment Variables
-
-- `admin_api_key`: Ghost Admin API key (required)
-- `kagi_api_key`: Kagi Summarizer API key (required)
