Question: What is AmadeusWeb Spring?
Applies To: All Users, System Architects, Content Creators
Answer: AmadeusWeb Spring is a flat-file, zero-SQL web engine built on PHP and hosted on Apache. It generates site structures, menus, and pages directly from offline folder hierarchies and plain-text files without relying on a database.
Context: Distilled from 25 years of engineering experience to eliminate CMS bloat, security exploits, and database maintenance overhead.

Question: Why does AmadeusWeb Spring avoid SQL and traditional databases?
Applies To: Developers, Security Officers, Site Owners
Answer: Eliminating SQL removes database injection vulnerabilities, dynamic security patches, complex backups, and database crashes under heavy load, ensuring long-term site stability and zero-maintenance operation.
Context: Central to the sovereign, anti-bloat technical philosophy powering DAWN.

Question: How does the site menu get generated?
Applies To: Content Creators, Site Administrators
Answer: The navigation menu is automatically derived by reading your folder and file structures on the server, dynamically mirroring your node and sub-node hierarchy.
Context: Removes the need to manually build or update navigation links when new pages are added.

Question: What file formats are natively supported for content creation?
Applies To: Content Creators, Writers, Developers
Answer: The engine natively processes Markdown, raw HTML, PHP, TSV spreadsheets, RevealJS slides, and embedded media assets like audio and video.
Context: Provides flexible rendering options while preserving content separation and clean source code.

Question: How does URL routing work if top-level folders don't appear in the URL?
Applies To: Developers, SEO Specialists
Answer: Top-level structural folders organize the backend workspace without cluttering the URL path, keeping public web addresses short, clean, and human-readable.
Context: Maintains clean visual hygiene for visitors while giving site owners backend organizational freedom.
Group: Data & Security
Question: How are user logins and admin portals managed on the live server?
Applies To: Security Officers, System Administrators
Answer: There are no live server logins or admin portals. All content edits occur offline, and deployments are handled via direct, secure file transfers.
Context: Eliminates brute-force authentication attacks and unauthorized administrative access attempts entirely.
Group: Data & Security
Question: How are public sites kept secure from bot scripts and automated exploits?
Applies To: Security Officers, Site Owners
Answer: With no backend database, no login pages, and no dynamic form execution scripts, automated attack vectors have zero entry points on the server.
Context: Reduces security maintenance costs and eliminates the need for constant security patch monitoring.
Group: Data & Security
Question: Where is my content actually stored?
Applies To: Site Owners, Data Stewards
Answer: Your primary content resides locally on your personal machine as standard files, backed up to Git, and mirrored to the production web server.
Context: Guarantees absolute data sovereignty—you retain 100% control over your files independently of any single hosting platform.
Group: Data & Security
Question: What happens if the web server goes down or fails completely?
Applies To: System Administrators, Business Leads
Answer: Since your complete site exists as an offline-first directory on your local machine and in Git, you can redeploy the entire web ecosystem to a new server in minutes.
Context: Provides total business continuity and disaster recovery with zero reliance on cloud vendor lock-in.
Group: Data & Security
Question: Why are public repositories required for DAWN network sites?
Applies To: Network Members, Open Source Contributors
Answer: Public Git repositories ensure total content and architectural transparency, making site history, intentions, and source files verifiable by the community.
Context: Embodies the core "Who Is" principle of open governance and radical transparency.
