Laravel host + PHP page renderer for the Stages doc model: node tree → HTML with island hydration; backend pair of the fancy-cms-ui editor. Pre-1.0 — the API may still move between minors; issues at github.com/Particle-Academy/fancy-cms/issues.

WYSIWYG CMS editor (React) for the Stages doc model: three-pane layers / canvas / inspector editing where every mutation is one PageOp through a pure reducer, plus the CmsPage / CmsRegion renderers with $bind data fields that name their live source. Pairs with the particle-academy/fancy-cms PHP renderer. Pre-1.0 — the API may still move between minors; issues at github.com/Particle-Academy/fancy-cms-ui/issues.
$npm install @particle-academy/fancy-cms-uiparticle-academy/fancy-cms
⚠️ Early-release BETA. This package is young and moving fast — expect rough edges, gaps, and breaking changes between 0.x releases. If you hit anything odd (bugs, missing pieces, confusing docs), please report it at github.com/Particle-Academy/fancy-cms/issues — every discovery helps.
The Laravel host for fancy-cms — an extendable inline-WYSIWYG website + app-shell builder built on the Fancy UI suite. This package owns the PHP renderer (node tree → HTML + compiled CSS + island placeholders), and — in later phases — persistence, the file API on any disk, and publish routing.
Status: Phase 0 (spine). Ships
FancyCms\Render\CssEmitter— the PHP half of the dual-emitter pair, a byte-for-byte mirror of the JS emitter in@particle-academy/fancy-cms-ui. Verified by the parity harness (fancy-cms-ui/parity).PageRendereris a skeleton; persistence + routing land in Phase 1.
Architecture & plan: .ai/plans/fancy-cms.md in the fancy.agi envelope.
Why two emitters
The editor (JS) and the published site (PHP) must produce identical CSS from the same document — "what you build" === "what ships". The two emitters are kept honest by a cross-engine parity harness, the same discipline used for dark-slide / holy-sheet (PHP ≡ Node).

Principles
- Guest, not host — adopted per-surface; respects host auth/layout/data.
- Human+ is opt-in — core works with no websockets or agents.
