Migrates from in-repo orphan `website` branch + LFS to a two-repo +
deploy-host model so source editing is fully decoupled from live state.
- Source code stays here (codeberg.org/VARASYS/ZDDC).
- Hand-edited website content moves to a separate Codeberg repo
(codeberg.org/VARASYS/ZDDC-website, cloned at ~/src/zddc-website/).
- Live site is /srv/zddc/ on the deploy host (Caddy bind-mount),
populated by ./deploy from this repo's dist/release-output/ plus
~/src/zddc-website/.
- Releases are no longer in any git history — reproducible from
<tool>-vX.Y.Z tags via `./build release X.Y.Z`. No LFS, no
Codeberg release assets.
Build/deploy split:
- ./build (no arg) is source-only; nothing in dist/release-output/
or /srv/zddc/ is touched.
- ./build alpha|beta|release seeds dist/release-output/ from
/srv/zddc/releases/ (preserving symlinks), then mutates the
channel(s) being cut on top. The bundle is always a complete
intended-live snapshot, so the verifier sees a complete world
and ./deploy --releases (rsync --delete-after) replaces live
state cleanly.
- New ./deploy wraps the rsync flow with --content / --releases
subcommands.
Docs updated to reflect the new model: CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md,
ARCHITECTURE.md, zddc/README.md, README.md, .gitignore, shared/
build-lib.sh comments, deprecated zddc/release.sh message.

Reverts the prior CLI simplification. ./build (no arg) now does source
work only — tool dist/ + cross-compiled zddc-server binaries — and
leaves the website worktree alone. Channel/release cuts are explicit:
./build dev build (source only, no deploy)
./build alpha cut alpha (cascades nothing)
./build beta cut beta (cascades alpha → beta)
./build release [X.Y.Z] cut stable (cascades all)
Rationale: editing source shouldn't have a side-effect on the live
site. The website worktree at ~/src/zddc-website/ is what Caddy serves
in real time, so any write to it is a deploy. Treating dev iteration
as alpha-publish was confusing — the user wanted source builds and
deploys to be distinct verbs.
Mechanically: a `dev` (default) branch is added to the case statement;
the post-build matrix-index regen + channel-link verifier are
conditional on RELEASE_CHANNEL being set; dev builds skip them.

Renames build.sh → build and replaces the --release flag form with
subcommands:
./build cut alpha (default; active dev iteration)
./build beta cut beta (cascades alpha → beta)
./build release cut stable (coordinated next version)
./build release X.Y.Z cut stable at explicit version
./build help
The contract shift: there's no longer a "plain dev build that doesn't
touch channels" at the top level. Every full-stack build is a publish
action — running ./build IS active dev iteration, which is what alpha
already meant. To iterate on one tool without writing to the website
worktree, use the per-tool sh tool/build.sh (unchanged).
Output continues to land in ${ZDDC_DEPLOY_RELEASES_DIR:-$HOME/src/zddc-website/releases}
and nothing is pushed automatically. Commit + push the website branch
yourself when you want to publish. Stable cuts still tag locally on
main; tags push separately too.
Behind the scenes: the export of ZDDC_DEPLOY_RELEASES_DIR is moved
above the per-tool build.sh invocations so children inherit it. The
prior "if RELEASE_CHANNEL else write_zddc_server_stubs_all" branch is
collapsed since RELEASE_CHANNEL is always set under the new CLI.
Docs (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, zddc/README.md) updated
to reference ./build everywhere; the per-tool sh tool/build.sh refs
stay (they're a separate, narrower entry point).
