Architect’s Signal
Wildfire: The Architecture of Surrender is a citable research repository and public identity-sync workflow for a theological-poetic manuscript. It treats GitHub as the source of truth, Zenodo as the DOI and archive layer, ORCID as the persistent researcher identity, DataCite/OpenAIRE as metadata propagation infrastructure, and GitHub Pages as the live public interface.
