## Description

This project is a .NET Core content management system and multi-site management platform designed to organize and publish structured digital content across independent websites from a centralized interface. It functions as both a headless CMS and a static site generator, rendering dynamic templates into HTML files to increase loading speed and scalability.

The system integrates retrieval-augmented generation to transform website documents and content into searchable AI knowledge bases. It includes a visual AI workflow orchestrator to define the logic between user queries and large language model outputs.

The platform covers broad capability areas including schema-flexible data modeling, digital asset organization, and role-based access control. It supports multi-terminal publishing for various devices, a plugin-based extensibility architecture for custom modules, and a comprehensive security suite featuring SM4 data encryption and web vulnerability defense.

The software is designed for self-hosted web infrastructure and can be deployed via Docker containers across Windows, Linux, and macOS.
