Capstone: A Complete, Working Flexible-Routing Site

Sam visits /admin-login/ and signs in with the same password the old PHP site always used — Chapter 9's own bcrypt-compatibility work means nothing had to be reset. This is the first real login since that chapter shipped, and it silently upgrades Sam's own stored hash to Django's preferred PBKDF2 format, exactly as promised.

Through the admin (Chapter 10's own raw_id_fields-improved parent picker), Sam creates five real pages, one level at a time:

No special case anywhere — Chapter 2's own model handles five levels exactly as easily as one.

Sam opens /programming/general-purpose-languages/java/fundamentals/chapter-1/ directly. Chapter 3's own <path:full_path> catches the whole thing in one pattern; rstrip('/') normalizes it; one indexed lookup against Chapter 2's own full_path field finds the row — no walk, no five-level chase. Chapter 4's breadcrumb renders all five ancestors correctly, and Chapter 5's dark theme wraps the whole page.

Sam decides "General-Purpose Languages" belongs under a new top-level "Languages" page instead of directly under "Programming" — the exact kind of move Chapter 2 deliberately deferred, and Chapter 10 actually built:

move_page was only ever called with gpl — chapter1 itself was never directly touched. Its own full_path is still correct anyway, three levels below the page that actually moved, because Chapter 10's own breadth-first cascade walked all the way down through java and fundamentals before ever reaching it. This is the real, working payoff of a cost Chapter 2 named honestly and left open eight chapters ago.

Sam visits /japanese/kanji/水/. Chapter 7's allow_unicode=True slug resolves correctly through Chapter 3's own UTF-8-safe path converter — no special-casing needed anywhere in the routing layer. The stroke-order animation renders from the self-hosted static/content/animcjk/ assets Chapter 5's own convention organized, through the exact same {{ page.body|safe }} trust boundary every other page already uses.

Sam notices a typo and fixes it through update_page_title — Chapter 8's own mutation, now genuinely protected by Chapter 9's @staff_member_required. A stranger who found this same URL months ago, back when Chapter 8 first shipped it, could have renamed anything; today, they can't.

collectstatic gathers every app's own static files — Chapter 5's stylesheet, Chapter 7's stroke-animation assets — into one STATIC_ROOT. gunicorn runs the real application; nginx serves /static/ directly and proxies everything else. DEBUG=False, ALLOWED_HOSTS set, SECRET_KEY read from the environment — Chapter 11's own checklist, complete.
