 - **Menu and sitemap item types.** The plugin registers its five PHP menu item types (`journal-category`, `all-journal-categories`, `journal-post`, `all-journal-posts`, `category-journal-posts`) with the framework's menu item type registry, so menus and sitemaps can point at posts and categories. See [menu item types](#menu-item-types).
 - **Settings.** Singleton row ID=1 on `golem15_journal_settings`, not PHP `system_settings`. `search_use_typesense` defaults to false. A fresh save never contacts Typesense.
 - **Public HTTP.** Anonymous GET `/_journal/api/v1/posts`, `/posts/{slug}`, `/categories`, `/tags`, `/rss`, `/authors/{author}`, and `/authors/{author}/posts`. Writes under the same prefix require a cabana backend JWT (`aud=backend`) or a personal admin API token (`g15_…`) whose scope covers the Journal.
+- **Record events.** Post writes through the admin fire the framework's record events (`pact.RecordSaved`, `pact.RecordDeleted`) after the commit, like every admin controller. The `/_journal/api/v1` post routes, which MCP tools call, fire the same events with `cabana.EmitRecordSaved` and `cabana.EmitRecordDeleted`: `POST /posts` a RecordSaved with `Created`, `PUT /posts/{id}` a RecordSaved whose changes hold the post's changed columns and each submitted translation that changed (a translated slug per locale), `DELETE /posts/{id}` a RecordDeleted. Their `Controller` is empty, as they do not go through an admin form. Another plugin (an SEO plugin creating redirects, a search indexer) therefore hears about a slug changed over MCP without importing the Journal.
 - **MCP tools.** `journal.Plugin.MCP` declares seven tools and one prompt for the framework's MCP endpoint (pier, a binary built with the `summercms_mcp` tag): `journal_list_posts`, `journal_show_post`, `journal_list_categories`, `journal_list_tags`, `journal_create_post`, `journal_update_post`, `journal_delete_post` and the prompt `journal_draft_post`. Each runs the matching `/_journal/api/v1` route as the backend account linked to the MCP user (guard `backend`) and is listed only when that account has `golem15.journal.access_posts`; the route checks its own permissions on every call. See [MCP tools](#mcp-tools).
 - **Author slug.** Plugin migration adds `backend_users.golem15_bloghub_author_slug`. The column stores the public author slug that the author routes resolve.
 - **Import and export.** `journal:export-posts` and `journal:import-posts` write and read one JSON file per post. The Posts list toolbar exposes the same actions to administrators with `golem15.journal.access_import_export`.
