The 'latest' label for the current-stable channel was inconsistent
with the channel set we use elsewhere (alpha / beta / stable). Rename
to 'stable' so URLs, file names, zip names, and image tags all line
up with the channel terminology used in the bootstrap, AGENTS.md
discipline rules, and chart consumers.
File / artifact renames
- website/releases/<tool>_latest.html → <tool>_stable.html (5 files)
- website/track-latest.zip → track-stable.zip
- shared/build-lib.sh: promote_release writes/refreshes _stable.html
- bootstrap/level{1,2}.html.tmpl: channels map drops 'latest', keeps
'stable' as the canonical name. ?v=stable is now the explicit way
to switch to current-stable for one request (alongside ?v=alpha,
?v=beta, and ?v=X.Y.Z).
- build.sh: install.zip sources from <tool>_stable.html; emits
track-stable.zip instead of track-latest.zip.
Container image (.woodpecker.yml rewritten)
- Tag publishing now cascades:
zddc-server-vX.Y.Z → :X.Y.Z, :stable, :beta, :alpha, :latest
zddc-server-vX.Y.Z-beta.N → :X.Y.Z-beta.N, :beta, :alpha
zddc-server-vX.Y.Z-alpha.N → :X.Y.Z-alpha.N, :alpha
- :stable, :beta, :alpha are now first-class channel pointers; chart
consumers (e.g. tnd-zddc-chart) can FROM :beta for dev and FROM
:stable for prod.
- :latest kept as an alias for :stable per Docker convention.
Documentation sweep
- AGENTS.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, CLAUDE.md, README.md
- bootstrap/README.md, zddc/README.md
- website/index.html, website/zddc-server.html
- transmittal/template.html, transmittal/README.md
all updated to reference _stable.html / track-stable.zip / the
'stable' channel name. ARCHITECTURE.md's manual freshen example
points at ./freshen-channel instead of the old git-checkout snippet.

Add ./freshen-channel <tool> <channel> at the repo root for the
"drag alpha/beta forward to current stable" workflow. The script
uses a temporary git worktree at the latest <tool>-v* tag so the
main worktree's HEAD is never touched — no checkout, no stash, no
race against in-progress dev. Build runs inside the worktree, the
resulting <tool>_<channel>.html is copied back into the main
repo's website/releases/, worktree is removed.
The on-page label of a freshened build is `<channel> · <today> ·
<stable-tag-sha>` — the SHA pins which stable was the source, so
anyone debugging can `git checkout <sha>` to reproduce.
Smoke-tested:
./freshen-channel archive alpha → archive_alpha.html with
"alpha · 2026-04-27 · ea385b5"
./freshen-channel transmittal beta → transmittal_beta.html with
"beta · 2026-04-27 · ea385b5"
./freshen-channel foobar alpha → usage error
./freshen-channel archive stable → usage error
AGENTS.md gains a "Channel discipline (MUST rules)" subsection
codifying the protocol the build system can't enforce:
1. Stable doesn't regress — files are immutable; bump for fixes.
2. No backports — bump and let users update pins.
3. Alpha/beta are mutable — never pin in production.
4. Stale-channel rule — after every stable release, freshen alpha
and beta so neither is older than current stable. NOT optional.
5. Hotfix path — direct stable cut allowed, no beta soak required;
freshen alpha + beta after.
6. Beta soak (recommended) — a few days exposure before promoting.
Plus a "Freshen helper" subsection documenting the script.

ZDDC — Zero Day Document Control. A file-naming convention plus five
single-file HTML tools (archive, transmittal, classifier, mdedit,
landing) and an optional Go HTTP server (zddc-server) with ACL and a
virtual archive index. Self-contained, offline-capable, dependency-free.
See README.md for an overview, AGENTS.md and ARCHITECTURE.md for the
build/release/architecture detail, bootstrap/README.md for the
two-level deployment install pattern, and zddc/README.md for the
HTTP server.
