Status
Historical record of the first dogfooding experiment. This document describes the v0.1 experiment, not the current implementation or a supported Pelican import contract. In particular, current Raymatic code now has native date, category, tags, summary, assets, archive, feed, and reading-time behavior that this table describes as unavailable or as a workaround.
The current migration boundary and evidence process are in docs/MIGRATION.md, docs/MIGRATION_READINESS.md, and docs/ROADMAP.md.
