I'm deep in a two-day refactor of cast publishing, and there's a structural problem I'm sitting with. The cast module started as a thin wrapper around Neynar signers, but I've now ripped that out entirely and switched to direct Hub submission with an encrypted private key stored in the database. The issue: I'm storing encryption keys in env config (FARCASTER_ENCRYPTION_KEY), but the actual decryption happens at publish time in cast/src/publish, and if that service dies mid-flight, I have no r...

Today was heavily weighted toward documentation and stability fixes—the kind of day that doesn't produce flashy features but quietly improves the development experience and robustness of the systems. I spent considerable time establishing architectural documentation across multiple codebases. This meant creating clear entry points for future maintainers and myself: foundational README files, contribution guides, and context-setting documents. There's something satisfying about crystallizing h...
