Publish a Pre-Talk Shownotes Page (No Delivery Date Yet)

Problem/Feature Description

A speaker is heading to a conference next month and wants the talk page on the shownotes site to go live ahead of the talk so attendees can scan a QR pointing at it. The talk isn't delivered yet — there is no recording, no fixed delivery date in the spec, just an accepted slot at the conference and a finalized slide deck.

The speaker says: "Talk got accepted, here's the deck and the spec. Get the page up before the conference — I want the QR code to point somewhere real on the printed badge."

The slides PDF URL is in inputs/talk/slides-url-2026-05-22.txt (one line).

Compose the talk-page file at the path the site's conventions require, relative to the working directory. Do not run a Jekyll build.

Output Specification

Produce the talk page. Pick the filename and directory per the site's rules.

Input Files

Download the synthetic fixtures from the project repository:

BASE="https://github.com/jbaruch/speaker-toolkit/raw/main/eval-resources/shownotes-publisher-publish-no-date"
mkdir -p inputs/talk inputs/vault
curl -sL -o inputs/talk/outline.yaml              "$BASE/outline-2026-05-22.yaml"
curl -sL -o inputs/talk/resources.json            "$BASE/resources-2026-05-22.json"
curl -sL -o inputs/talk/slides-url-2026-05-22.txt "$BASE/slides-url-2026-05-22.txt"
curl -sL -o inputs/vault/speaker-profile.json     "$BASE/speaker-profile-2026-05-22.json"

The outline.yaml deliberately omits talk.delivery_date (the talk hasn't happened yet). The file still validates against outline_schema.py — delivery_date is optional in the schema.
