Rolls back the HTML-tool side of the Codeberg-as-canonical refactor
(commits 2dc9ad2, b28c4ae, bdac8dc) in favor of a simpler model:
per-version HTML files committed under website/releases/ as immutable
real files; partial-version pins (<tool>_v<X.Y>.html, <tool>_v<X>.html)
and channel mirrors (<tool>_<channel>.html) are checked-in symlinks.
Docker-tag pattern: :1.2.3 is pinned, :1.2 floats, :1 floats further,
:stable floats furthest.
URL scheme — every URL resolves to actual HTML via the symlink chain;
no JS indirection, no manifest.json, no Caddy regex-rewrite:
/releases/<tool>_v<X.Y.Z>.html exact version (real file)
/releases/<tool>_v<X.Y>.html latest patch within X.Y.* (symlink)
/releases/<tool>_v<X>.html latest within X.*.* (symlink)
/releases/<tool>_stable.html current stable (symlink)
/releases/<tool>_beta.html current beta (symlink to stable when no
active beta; real file when beta is in flight)
/releases/<tool>_alpha.html current alpha (similar — symlink to beta
or stable when no active alpha)
Cascade rule (in shared/build-lib.sh promote_release):
--release [version] (stable cut) → write per-version file; refresh 5
symlinks (_v<X.Y>, _v<X>, _stable,
_beta, _alpha) → new versioned file;
tag <tool>-v<X.Y.Z>.
--release beta → overwrite <tool>_beta.html with real
bytes; cascade _alpha.html → _beta.html
(symlink). No tag — channel URLs are
stable URLs by design; counters defeat
that.
--release alpha → overwrite <tool>_alpha.html with real
bytes. No tag, no other side-effects.
Plain `sh tool/build.sh` → dist/ only. No website/releases/
side-effect, no commit.
Code changes:
- .gitignore — drop website/releases/*.html and website/releases/zddc-server-*
exclusions; HTML tool files are tracked again. Replace the comment with
the new model description.
- shared/build-lib.sh — drop next_prerelease (no -alpha.N / -beta.N counter
tags). Drop the Codeberg-upload path for HTML tools (no longer sourcing
publish-codeberg-release.sh from build-lib). promote_release rewritten
with two helpers: _promote_stable (per-version file + 5 symlinks + tag)
and _promote_channel (overwrite mirror + cascade alpha→beta on beta cut).
- zddc/release.sh — drop alpha/beta channel path entirely; binaries publish
only on stable cuts. zddc-server's beta/alpha builds-from-source via the
helm charts (next phase) — no binary distribution needed for those channels.
- bootstrap/level2.html.tmpl — drop manifest.json fetch; resolve ?v= to a
static URL via the symlink chain. New suffixFor() handles channel names,
exact versions, and partial-version pins (?v=0.0, ?v=0). Same logic in
level1.html.tmpl already works because the local-staging files (e.g.
../<tool>_v0.0.html) exist via the same symlink scheme.
- build.sh build_releases_index — revert to filesystem scan of
website/releases/ instead of Codeberg API call. Drop manifest.json
generation. Per-tool sections list channel chips + per-version pin links;
zddc-server section links to Codeberg release pages directly.
- tests/build-label.spec.js — fix the channel-label regex to match the
pre-release-semver format introduced in commit 9459139 ("v0.0.3-alpha · ...").
Pre-existing test failure that wasn't caught at the time.
Storage:
- 30 new committed files under website/releases/ — 10 real (per-version) +
20 symlinks (5 tools × 4 partial/channel variants, plus alpha as a real
file by default).
- Initial state: stable v0.0.2 across all 5 tools; alpha/beta/v0.0/v0
symlinks all point at <tool>_v0.0.2.html.
- manifest.json deleted (no longer needed).
