This repository is the canonical source for the DiscussionBridge demo chooser and its platform-collection navigation. It does not own the independent demo implementations.

The public hierarchy is:

• / — master chooser with The Bridge as flagship and seven showcase entries representing eight independently configured Alpha profiles (Statamic DB and Flat share one chooser entry);
• /astro/ — inaugural Astro + Starlight product, Plain Astro reference, and stock Starlight control;
• /ghost/ — stock Ghost and future themed edition;
• /hugo/ — live stock Hugo profile with all four discussion modes;
• /statamic/ — independent DB, Flat, and SSG profiles plus future themed editions;
• /wordpress/ — stock WordPress demonstration collection;
• /ssg/ — static-generation profiles spanning Astro, Hugo, and Statamic;
• /discourse/ — The Bridge, the flagship live stock Discourse publishing forum with controlled operation.

Existing Astro destinations plus the stock WordPress, Ghost, Hugo, Statamic Flat, Statamic DB, Statamic SSG, and The Bridge demos are live. The SSG collection links the live Astro + Starlight, Hugo, and Statamic SSG profiles. Undeployed platform origins are shown as planned and are not linked as though they already exist. The agreed hands-on forum hostname is bridge.demo.discussionbridge.dev; its short public name is The Bridge.

The chooser's canonical estate inventory is maintained in src/data/demo-estate.ts. Update that inventory before duplicating names or status copy inside page templates.
