 - Local MCP automation over stdio or a localhost-only stateless HTTP endpoint, with project resources, read/search/count tools, uniquely identified inert write proposals, clean duplicate-pending rejection, explicit desktop approval, and opt-in Claude Code/Copilot configuration.
 - A fully localized Ratatui terminal workspace, available locally through `bds-cli tui`/`BDS_MODE=tui` and remotely through authenticated SSH shell sessions, with shared post/template/script editing and publishing, project/search/command overlays, settings, tags, Git, reports, task progress, live multi-client locale updates, and airplane-mode AI gating.
 - `bds-cli server` hosting the shared application engines over a loopback-by-default, public-key-only SSH service, with restrictive private key material, live authorization updates, terminal-session transport, CLI-change synchronization, ordered domain/task events, and native desktop remote-project selection.

+- bDS2-compatible Markdown/Liquid rendering with built-in macros rendered from bundled Liquid templates in isolated scopes (customizable with `macros/*` partial-template slugs), category-controlled list title visibility, descriptive category archive titles, canonical multilingual and flat page routes for every configured blog language, recursive menus, calendar archives, feeds, a root hreflang sitemap, Pagefind, change-aware and forced full renders from the native Blog menu/CLI/TUI, and fast route/mtime-based incremental validation whose targeted repair refreshes affected aggregate pages through cancellable section task groups.
 - Navigable generated-route preview in the app or system browser, with draft database overlays and published filesystem content.
 - Optional one-shot AI translation, description, analysis, taxonomy, and language-detection operations run in background tasks with editor-level waiting indicators, using provider-portable JSON-only requests through independent online and local OpenAI-compatible profiles. Each profile has secure credentials, persistently discovered chat/title/image model selections, explicit tool/vision overrides, chat testing, and restart-persistent status-bar airplane-mode routing.
 - Persistent conversational AI with safe Markdown, streamed and cancellable responses, model/session/token tracking, bounded project-aware blog tools, and localized conversation management in the Chat workspace. Allowlisted render tools add persistent native cards, charts, forms, lists, metrics, mind maps, tables, and tabs without executing assistant-provided HTML or JavaScript.
