DARE.CO.UK · FULL DAY SUMMARY · 11 MAY 2026
Last 90 days · daily request rhythm
TL;DR
- Cross-portfolio infrastructure day. No dare-co-uk commits — today’s work lived in
dare-pipeline,agent-edge(new repo), and~/bin/tooling. - agent-edge Worker is live on
dogwood.houseandaudreyinc.com— agent-discovery surfaces (/llms.txt,/.well-known/agent.json,/agent-config.json, etc.) ship at the Cloudflare edge on top of Squarespace + Shopify origins. First live increment of the “agent-first via CDN, security layer, and DNS provider sitting in front of dare.co.uk.">CF edge on legacy commerce platforms” case study. - 7 commits across 2 portfolio repos (dare-pipeline x4, agent-edge x3) + 8 new memory entries + 8 new
~/bin/tools for Cloudflare credential workflow. - dare-pipeline GHA migration went green end-to-end — dashboard refresh now runs in the cloud, mirroring the local launchd job.
- 3 Cloudflare token rotations (one accidental over-delete + two chat-transcript leaks during verify-via-curl). All replaced and the workflow rebuilt to make leaks impossible by construction (
~/bin/verify-cf-token.sh,wrangler-deploy,mint-cf-token-spec.md). - S3 → R2 migration tooling built —
~/bin/dare_s3_to_r2_promote.pyfor promoting the 25 stray images from legacys3://cdn.dare.co.ukto R2’sdare-imagesbucket, with SEO-naming auto-renames in slug mode. Local archive sync parked behind AWS-key rotation timing; ready to resume in a single terminal command. - 8,411 requests in last 24h — 49.1% Cloudflare-cached, 175 threats blocked.

S3 → R2 migration — status
The legacy s3://cdn.dare.co.uk bucket is on a slow-burn retirement plan. Today’s work built the tooling and audit infrastructure; the actual mass migration is parked, waiting for a clean re-sync after this morning’s AWS-key rotation.
Where the bucket sits (from yesterday’s audits)
s3://cdn.dare.co.uk inventory (per dare_s3_inventory_cdn-dare-co-uk_2026-05-10.md):
- 15,315 objects, 436.3 MB total
- Date range: 2009-11-17 → 2026-03-10 (legacy WordPress era through to late dare migration)
- Monthly cost: $0.12/yr — pruning is housekeeping, not budget pressure
- Migrate-out cost: $0 (under the 100 GB/mo free egress tier)
Cross-referenced against the live R2 CDN at images.dare.co.uk (per dare_lost_files_audit_cdn-dare-co-uk_2026-05-10.md):
| Category | Count | What it means | Plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Both S3 + R2 (redundant) | 368 | Fully mirrored; safe to drop from S3 once local archive verified | Delete from S3 post-archive |
| S3 only (“stray images”) | 25 | Repo HTML references these via images.dare.co.uk/posts/... but they live only in S3 — visitors currently 404 |
Promote to R2 at canonical posts/<basename> |
| R2 only | 97 | Live on CDN but no S3 backup — archival risk if R2 ever loses them | Mirror to local archive |
| Lost (neither) | 42 | Referenced in repo but missing from S3 AND R2 — already 404-ing for real users | Triage: replace asset or remove HTML reference |
| S3 orphans (no repo refs) | 3,541 | In S3, never referenced from current repo — likely WordPress-era cruft | Pull to local archive, then drop from S3 |
What got built today
~/bin/dare_s3_to_r2_promote.py — the engine for the 25 stray-image promote step. Reads the audit’s S3-only basenames, locates each in a local archive copy of the bucket (rather than per-object S3 API calls), proposes per-file SEO-friendly slug renames per the portfolio naming convention, produces a dry-run plan for human eyeball, then executes uploads to R2 with proper Content-Type and Cache-Control headers.
Key design decisions:
- Operates on a local archive, not S3 directly. The S3 inventory’s “Migrate-out workflow” recommends aws s3 sync s3://cdn.dare.co.uk ~/var/dare/s3-archive/ as step 1 — this gives us a point-in-time snapshot for ALL the migration sub-tasks (promote 25, mirror 97, archive 3,541 orphans). One sync, many operations.
- Dual-mode upload:
- --mode=basename (default) preserves existing repo refs — immediate 404-fix, SEO rename deferred.
- --mode=slug renames during upload AND emits a repo-rewrite plan (sed snippets) for the dare-co-uk HTML — closer to the canonical naming convention but requires a coordinated commit.
- Dry-run is the default. Defaults to producing a markdown report at ~/Downloads/dare_s3_to_r2_promote_dryrun_<date>.md showing per-file: archive path, size, repo ref count, example referencing article, proposed slug, flags (“typo: toyko → tokyo?”, “numeric-only — needs human rename”, “stripped resolution suffix”). Human approves before any uploads happen.
- Honest placeholders. When the script can’t auto-derive a sensible slug (numeric-only filename, opaque ID), it flags ⚠ needs human rename for SEO value rather than guessing. Same principle as leaving <project> workers-builds literal in the Cloudflare token list when project context is unknown.
SEO image-naming convention (applied during promote)
The slug-mode renames apply the five-rule image-naming convention (from feedback_seo_image_naming_convention.md, adopted 2026-05-09 after the El Bulli rehost discussion):
- Lowercase + hyphens.
kitchen-brigade, notkitchen_brigadeorKitchenBrigade. Google parses hyphens as word separators; underscores don’t split. - Subject-first, descriptor-last. Front-load the searchable noun phrase:
el-bulli-kitchen-brigadenotkitchen-brigade-at-el-bulli. - Use the term-of-art if there is one. “Kitchen brigade” beats “kitchen team” for restaurant SEO; “open kitchen” beats “see-through kitchen”. Specific terms rank better and signal domain literacy.
- Drop stop words. No
the,a,at,with. - 3–5 hyphenated words, ~25–40 chars. Long enough to describe, short enough to remember.
Plus a few automatic transforms applied by the promote script:
- .jpeg → .jpg (preferred extension for new uploads; existing .jpeg files don’t need renaming once they’re somewhere stable)
- Resolution suffixes stripped: henri-cartier-bresson-300x191.jpg → henri-cartier-bresson.jpg
- Underscores → hyphens
- Stop words dropped from compound slugs
Status — parked for resume
- ✅ Audit data captured (yesterday’s
dare_s3_inventory_*+dare_lost_files_audit_*markdown files) - ✅ Promote script built and syntax-clean at
~/bin/dare_s3_to_r2_promote.py - ✅ R2 destination ready (
dare-imagesbucket;R2 dare-pipeline-thumbstoken has Object R/W scope; verified working withimages.dare.co.uk/posts/...) - ⏸️ Local archive sync parked — initial
aws s3 syncattempt hung on pre-rotation AWS keys after this morning’s IAM key rotation. Process killed cleanly; restart from Dan’s interactive terminal whenever the broader migration push is the priority. - ⏸️ Promote dry-run blocked on the local archive existing.
When work resumes, the sequence is:
# 1. Sync (interactive terminal — biometric Touch ID for op-managed AWS keys)
aws s3 sync s3://cdn.dare.co.uk ~/var/dare/s3-archive/
# 2. Dry-run the promote
python3 ~/bin/dare_s3_to_r2_promote.py --mode=slug
# 3. Eyeball the dated report at ~/Downloads/dare_s3_to_r2_promote_dryrun_<date>.md
# 4. Execute (with R2 token from 1Password)
op run --env-file=- -- python3 ~/bin/dare_s3_to_r2_promote.py --execute --mode=basename <<EOF
R2_ACCESS_KEY_ID=op://Private/R2 dare-pipeline-thumbs/access_key_id
R2_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=op://Private/R2 dare-pipeline-thumbs/secret_access_key
R2_ENDPOINT=op://Private/R2 dare-pipeline-thumbs/endpoint
EOF
The 25 stray-image promote is the highest-leverage move (live-site 404 fix, < 5 MB payload, R2 token already in place). The other four categories (97 mirror, 42 lost-triage, 368 redundant, 3,541 orphans) chain off the local archive being present.
Cloudflare credential workflow — built today
After three Cloudflare token leaks in one session (curl-with-bearer-literal lands in terminal scrollback, gets copy-pasted to chat alongside response), the credential workflow was rebuilt to make leaks impossible by construction. The pattern: the safe path must be easier than the unsafe path.
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
~/bin/wrangler-deploy |
op run-wraps wrangler so any subcommand auto-injects CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN from a 1Password reference. Reads the reference from a .wrangler-deploy dotfile per project. |
~/bin/verify-cf-token.sh |
Verifies a Cloudflare token by op:// reference. Prints only the HTTP status code — no curl, no response body, no token in scrollback. |
~/bin/mint-cf-token-spec.md |
Permissions matrix per common token type (Pages deploy, Workers deploy with Routes, R2 bucket-scoped, Analytics-only, DNS) + the locked-in <scope> <purpose> naming convention. |
~/bin/audit-cf-tokens.sh |
Greps the relevant code roots + dotfiles for references to each Cloudflare token name. Runs at the monthly safety review to identify orphans before deletion. |
~/bin/swap-zshrc-cf-token.py + analytics variant |
Programmatic value-swap in ~/.zshrc via env var (no shell-argv exposure), with backup + change-detection. |
~/bin/verify-and-wire-analytics-token.sh |
Verify-then-wire pattern: verify token works → abort if not → push to GHA secret. Defeats the silent-empty-stdin-overwrite class of bug. |
Daily flow becomes: wrangler-deploy deploy from any project root — no env-var rituals, no curl with literal tokens, no leak surface.
