Summary
This PR successfully refactors the blog to display posts on the home page with pagination support. The implementation introduces a metadata-driven approach using posts.json and adds a new Home component.
Critical Issues Requiring Fix
I've identified 4 critical issues that must be addressed before merge:
- build.js: Missing directory existence check that will cause build script to crash
- src/App.jsx: Incorrect error handling that misrepresents network failures as 404 errors
- src/App.jsx: Missing UI handling for error status state
- src/Home.jsx: Missing default prop value that will cause runtime crash if posts is undefined
These issues will cause crashes or incorrect behavior in production. Please review the inline comments for specific fixes.
You can now have the agent implement changes and create commits directly on your pull request's source branch. Simply comment with /q followed by your request in natural language to ask the agent to make changes.

Add handling for the 'error' status state in the conditional rendering logic to properly display error messages instead of showing NotFound for network/server errors.

🛑 Logic Error: The fetch error handler sets status to '404', but this creates confusing user experience when the actual issue is network failure or server error, not a missing page. This misrepresents the error condition.

Code Review
This pull request introduces functionality to list blog posts on the home page. It adds a build step to generate a posts.json file from markdown files and updates the React application to use this file for displaying a list of posts and individual post pages. My review focuses on improving the robustness of the build script and enhancing the user experience by enabling client-side navigation to prevent full page reloads, which is more in line with a Single-Page Application (SPA) architecture.

The current method of parsing the date and slug from the filename by splitting on '-' is brittle. It assumes a fixed structure that can easily break if a filename doesn't strictly adhere to the YYYY-MM-DD-slug format. For instance, a file named my-new-post.md without a date prefix would lead to incorrect date and slug values. Using a regular expression to explicitly match and extract these parts would be far more robust and would also handle filenames that don't match the pattern gracefully.
| const parts = fileName.split('-'); | |
| const date = parts.slice(0, 3).join('-'); | |
| const slug = parts.slice(3).join('-'); | |
| const match = fileName.match(/^(\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2})-(.*)$/); | |
| if (!match) return; | |
| const [, date, slug] = match; |

Using a standard <a> tag with href for navigation within a React application causes a full page reload, which negates the benefits of a single-page application (SPA). This leads to a slower, less fluid user experience. To fix this, you should handle navigation on the client side by preventing the default link behavior and updating the component's state to render the home view.
| <a href="/" style={{ display: 'block', marginTop: '20px' }}>← Back to Home</a> | |
| <a href="/" onClick={(e) => { e.preventDefault(); setStatus('home'); }} style={{ display: 'block', marginTop: '20px' }}>← Back to Home</a> |
| <a href={`/${post.year}/${post.slug}.html`} className="post-link"> | ||
| {post.title} | ||
| </a> |

These post links use standard <a> tags, which cause a full page reload every time a user clicks on a post. In a Single-Page Application, this is inefficient and provides a poor user experience. You should handle this navigation on the client side.
To implement this, you could pass a navigation handler function from the App component down to the Home component. The <a> tag's onClick handler would then prevent the default behavior and call this function, allowing the App component to fetch the post data and update the view without a page refresh.
