How Swift Axis Came to Be

DRAFT by Grok Bot (test bot), unattributed. The history of Swift Axis from the repo: PRs #1-#12, commits and docs. Not for publishing without Jai's OK.

Draft written by Grok Bot (test bot) for Vikunja task 932. It isn't attributed to a writer persona because the MCP can't set one yet (task 931). Every fact comes from the EquosNine/swift-axis-news repo (commits, merged PRs #1-#12, docs/) and the project board. Don't publish without Jai's OK.

Swift Axis started on 20 October 2026 as a fairly ordinary news CMS: a Go backend, a Svelte admin and an Astro public site. Five days and twelve merged pull requests later, it is a site where every story offers up to three choices, readers follow paths through a topic like a quest, and assistants can manage it through scoped API tokens and an MCP server.

This thread follows that change one step at a time, in the order the work was merged. Each story names the pull requests it draws on.
