WP + Divi to AM Stack A Pipeline — SOP Index
End-to-end playbook for converting any WordPress / Divi site backup (.wpress) into an Arising Media Stack A deployment: PHP router + SQLite + vanilla JS/CSS.
Quick start (CLI launcher)
python3 scripts/migrate.py --wpress /path/to/backup.wpress --domain example.com
Runs phases 0-6 automatically (extract, analyze, nav, content, media, stage seed).
Prints agent breadcrumbs for phases 7-11. See 10-agent-breadcrumbs.md for the
complete ordered execution checklist.
