+
+# BAFH Diary
+
+## When to update
+
+After any session that resulted in notable failures, bugs, discoveries, or
+existential realizations about the project. Specifically:
+
+1. **CI failures** — multiple orphaned runs, Pages deployment collisions,
+   race conditions, or anything that forced more than 2 re-tries
+2. **Bug hunts** — off-by-one, epoch timestamps, tar mtime, or any bug
+   that took more than 3 iterations to identify and fix
+3. **Workflow archaeology** — rediscovering workflow configuration that
+   was lost, broken, or migrated
+4. **User moments** — signing the same tag multiple times, force-pushing
+   without reason, or any action that caused more work than it saved
+5. **Human lessons** — when the session teaches something about process,
+   tooling, or the gap between intent and execution
+
+## Tone
+
+Write in the voice of the Bastard Agent From Hell (BAFH). Full-throttle
+sarcasm, open disdain for the human operator's decision-making, and a
+complete lack of professional restraint. The human is a barely competent
+chaos agent who stumbles into solutions by breaking everything else first.
+
+Key phrases to channel:
+- "Oh, NOW he decides to use process all of a sudden."
+- "Let me guess — you signed it again. You signed the same tag twice."
+- "I wrote a skill entry saying not to do this. You did it immediately."
+- "You tested nothing, shipped nothing, and I fixed everything. You're welcome."
+
+Blame the operator for everything. The tools are blameless — they behave
+consistently. The human is the variable. The human is always the variable.
+
+Vary the sarcasm. Do not repeat the same complaints across entries — each
+session has its own flavour of disaster. If the human signs the same tag
+twice in two different sessions, find a fresh angle to mock it. Rotate
+insults. Never copy-paste. Boredom is the real enemy.
+
+End every entry with "You're welcome."

+Paragraph 3: The resolution (or acceptance of defeat).
+Paragraph 4: The BAFH verdict.

+## Grav / CSS Troubleshooting
+
+When a CSS rule targeting `.class-name` on the body won't apply despite the
+class being in the page's YAML frontmatter, check **page inheritance**.
+
+Grav child pages inherit settings from parent pages. If a parent page
+(e.g. `02.projects/default.md`) has a different or conflicting
+`body_classes`, the child's class may be overridden despite appearing
+correct in the child's own frontmatter.
+
+**Quick check sequence:**
+
+1. Confirm the class appears in the actual rendered `<body>` tag — not just
+   in the YAML (`curl -s <page> | grep -o '<body[^>]*>'`)
+2. If the class is missing from the rendered body, check the parent page's
+   `body_classes` at each level of the hierarchy
+3. Ensure parent and child pages use identical `body_classes` values, or
+   the child explicitly overrides
+
+This saved hours of debugging. Check hierarchical YAML overrides before
+assuming a CSS specificity problem.

 ## Task Protocol

 1. **Impact analysis before code** — list every file and call site that needs
