Homeboy is a general-purpose developer ops tool (macOS app + CLI) developed alongside this platform and used for day-to-day operations like deployments, remote WP-CLI, PM2, logs, DB tasks, and remote files.

events.extrachill.com is powered by Data Machine (publisher ops) and the Data Machine Events plugin. Extra Chill extends the frontend and theme integration via extrachill-events.

• Blog ID single source of truth: runtime code uses ec_get_blog_id() / ec_get_domain_map() from extrachill-plugins/network/extrachill-multisite/inc/core/blog-ids.php. Numeric mapping is reserved for .github/sunrise.php.
• Domain mapping (extrachill.link): .github/sunrise.php routes extrachill.link to blog 4 and preserves frontend URLs.
• Build packaging: each plugin/theme has ./build.sh symlinked to /.github/build.sh and outputs build/<name>.zip.
