Press Page Project — Session Log 2026-05-12

Created 2026-05-12

Tags press-pageyogajayaarchive

What was done

1. Press page working folder set up

Created 02-areas/communications/press-page/
Filed the full press page brief (versioned spec, frontmatter intact) at press-page-brief
Created decisions-worksheet extracting D1–D10 with recommendation, source reference, and empty Resolution/Date fields for Patrick + Asia to fill in
Created README with folder orientation and wikilinks

2. B2 archival storage location added to spec

Section 9.5 added to press-page-brief: press article PDFs go to B2 press/articles/ (archival, not CDN-served); screenshots extracted from PDFs go through the compress-photos pipeline to media.baseworks.com
Decisions Log entry added for this

3. YogaJaya press archive transferred

Source: yogajaya.com server — u_gux_191886_yog@107.172.141.253, path /var/www/yogajaya.com/wp-content/uploads/press_doc/

What was found:

142 unique PDFs spanning 2004–2017 (Vogue Japan, Brutus, Elle Japan, Grazia, Harper’s Bazaar, Metropolis, Japan Times, Yoga Journal Japan, Yogini, Yoga Aktuell DE, and many more)
35 original cover + article spread images (PNGs/JPGs) from the yogajaya.com press page (2015/07/)
Also present but excluded: .LCK files (LiteSpeed server lock files — server artifacts, no content) and .swf files (Adobe Flash viewers — obsolete since 2020)
Checksum verification confirmed no exact duplicates across all 142 PDFs

Destinations:

NAS: /volume1/baseworks/archives/press/yogajaya/press_doc/ (142 PDFs)
NAS: /volume1/baseworks/archives/press/yogajaya/press-images/ (35 images)
B2: baseworks-media / press/yogajaya-archive/ (177 files total)

Notes:

macOS tar created AppleDouble ._*.pdf sidecar files on the NAS during transfer — these were identified and deleted; the clean count is 142 PDFs
B2 upload was clean (b2 sync does not go through Mac tar, no sidecars)
Original files on yogajaya.com server are untouched

4. Hard copy press articles — pending

Patrick has physical hard copies of additional press articles (not on the yogajaya.com server). These need to be scanned — either with a phone or a flatbed scanner at higher resolution. Once scanned, they should be added to the NAS archive at /volume1/baseworks/archives/press/yogajaya/press_doc/ and uploaded to B2 under press/yogajaya-archive/.

What’s next

D1–D10 decisions session — Patrick and Asia work through decisions-worksheet. These must be resolved before any press page copy gets written.
Hard copy scanning — scan physical press articles and add to the archive.
Implementation session — once D1–D10 are resolved, pass press-page-brief to a Claude Code session for press page rebuild.

Prompt for next session

Paste this into a new Claude Code session to resume:

Read the following three files before we begin:

~/Obsidian/baseworks-kb-shared-brain/02-areas/communications/press-page/press-page-brief.md

~/Obsidian/baseworks-kb-shared-brain/02-areas/communications/press-page/decisions-worksheet.md

~/Obsidian/baseworks-kb-shared-brain/02-areas/communications/press-page/session-log-2026-05-12.md

Context: We are rebuilding the Baseworks press page at baseworks.com/communication/. The brief is the source of truth. Ten decisions (D1–D10) need to be resolved before copy is drafted. The full YogaJaya press archive (142 PDFs + 35 images) has been transferred to NAS at /volume1/baseworks/archives/press/yogajaya/ and to B2 under baseworks-media/press/yogajaya-archive/. Hard copy press articles still need scanning.

Once you’ve read the files, ask me what I’d like to work on.
