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).

Completes the deferred cleanup from 2dc9ad2 ("refactor: distribute via
Codeberg release assets, drop the upstream image"), now that
$CODEBERG_TOKEN is provisioned.
Backfilled to Codeberg release assets:
- archive, transmittal, classifier, mdedit, landing — v0.0.1 and v0.0.2
stable releases (10 releases, one HTML asset each)
- zddc-server v0.0.8-alpha.2 — four cross-compiled binaries (the same
artifacts that previously lived in website/releases/, renamed to the
canonical zddc-server-<os>-<arch>[.exe] without the -alpha suffix)
Older zddc-server stable tags (v0.0.1 through v0.0.7) are not
backfilled — they were image-only releases under the old flow and have
no binary artifacts to upload. Operators wanting those builds can
checkout the tag and run `sh zddc/release.sh stable <ver>` to publish
binaries; nothing in the new flow depends on them existing on Codeberg.
Removes from the working tree (now redundant — Codeberg is canonical):
- website/releases/<tool>_v0.0.{1,2}.html (10 files)
- website/releases/<tool>_{alpha,beta}.html (10 files; mutable channel
mirrors written by the old build flow)
- website/releases/<tool>_stable.html (5 symlinks)
- website/releases/zddc-server-*-alpha[.exe] (4 binaries)
Also: regenerates website/releases/{index.html,manifest.json} from the
post-backfill Codeberg release list. The manifest currently has stable
entries for the five HTML tools and an alpha entry for zddc-server;
HTML alpha/beta channels and zddc-server stable will populate as
operators cut those releases through the new flow.
One repo-config side effect: enabled the "Releases" repo unit on
codeberg.org/VARASYS/ZDDC (was off; the API returned 404 on every
release endpoint until enabled).

Replace the build-counter version scheme (every alpha push monotonically
bumps the patch number, producing immutable :0.0.X tags that look
indistinguishable from stable releases) with proper semver pre-release
suffixes. Stable owns clean vX.Y.Z; alpha and beta carry
vX.Y.Z-{alpha,beta}[.N] indicating the next-stable target.
The next-stable target is the patch-bump of the latest clean
<prefix>-vX.Y.Z tag. Counter N is per-channel (alpha and beta count
separately) and resets when a new stable advances next-patch. Used
only for zddc-server image tags, where every release is git-tagged;
HTML tools omit the counter since alpha/beta cuts there don't tag.
release-image.sh:
- New CLI: sh release-image.sh [alpha|beta|stable] [<version>].
- Default channel alpha. Version arg only valid (and only optional)
for stable.
- Auto-derives the version via next_prerelease for alpha/beta, and
patch-bump for unspecified stable.
- Now creates the git tag itself (the auto-derived version is no
longer something the operator can predict in advance), but does
not push — operator finishes with `git push --tags`.
shared/build-lib.sh:
- Add next_prerelease(channel, tag_prefix) helper.
- compute_build_label embeds v<next-stable>-{alpha,beta} in the
on-page label for plain and --release alpha|beta builds.
- Plain builds: v<next-stable>-alpha · <ts> · <sha>[-dirty]
--release alpha: v<next-stable>-alpha · <date> · <sha>
--release beta: v<next-stable>-beta · <date> · <sha>
--release [<version>]: v<X.Y.Z> (clean stable, unchanged shape).
Pre-release semver ordering (vX.Y.Z-alpha.1 < vX.Y.Z-alpha.2 <
vX.Y.Z-beta.1 < vX.Y.Z) is honored by registry tag sorting,
git tag --sort=-v:refname, sort -V, npm, cargo — so consumers can
pin or compare versions without surprises.
Existing zddc-server-v0.0.{3..7} git tags and registry tags are
audit history; not rewritten. Going forward, alpha/beta cuts produce
v0.0.8-{alpha,beta}.N format, and clean v0.0.8 is reserved for a
deliberate stable promotion.
freshen-channel needs no code change. It runs --release <channel>
inside a worktree at the latest stable tag, where the build-lib.sh
at that tag is still the old version producing old-format labels;
the first stable cut after this commit will propagate the new format
to subsequent freshens (per the existing "build pipeline at the tag"
reproducibility policy).
AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md updated.
First stable bump for the HTML tools since v0.0.1 — drags the stable
channel forward to absorb the months of work that has been riding
alpha (landing rework, presets cleanup, mdedit module split, shared
build-lib changes, etc.).
Each tool independently bumped to v0.0.2 (the tools are independently
versioned by git-tag prefix; their numbers do not need to align with
each other or with zddc-server's 0.0.6).
Per-tool changes:
- website/releases/<tool>_v0.0.2.html new immutable snapshot
- website/releases/<tool>_stable.html symlink → _v0.0.2.html
- website/releases/<tool>_alpha.html freshened from v0.0.2 tag
- website/releases/<tool>_beta.html freshened from v0.0.2 tag
Tags created locally and pushed alongside this commit:
archive-v0.0.2, transmittal-v0.0.2, classifier-v0.0.2,
mdedit-v0.0.2, landing-v0.0.2
Bootstrap zips (install.zip, track-{alpha,beta,stable}.zip) regenerated
by the same build pipeline.

Three things on the public website:
1) Cut alpha and beta channel builds for all five tools, so each tool
now has stable + beta + alpha actually published — previously
beta and alpha were vapor for archive (which had been freshened
earlier) and missing entirely for the others. The intro page's
tool cards now point at real artifacts on every channel.
2) New website/releases/index.html — a generated index of every
version + channel of every tool, with stable/beta/alpha pill
links per tool and a "Pin to version" row of every concrete
v0.0.X build. Regenerated by build.sh's new build_releases_index
function (reads the filesystem so it is always consistent with
what is actually under releases/). Linked from the intro page nav
(Releases), from the bottom of the Try the tools section
("Browse all versions"), and from the Learn more list.
reference.html's nav gets the same Releases link.
3) Folded website/zddc-server.html into website/index.html as a new
inline section ("zddc-server (optional)") below the tool cards.
The earlier separate page is removed; the broken Server nav link
that pointed at it is gone too. The new section leads with the
dual-mode insight (the tools work locally on a folder OR via any
web server, including the optional zddc-server) and frames
zddc-server as a small Go binary that adds things a generic web
server cannot: ACL via .zddc files, virtual .archive URL space,
per-request access logging, mundane glue. The What is it?
paragraph also mentions the dual-mode story up front so users
reading top-to-bottom get the framing before they hit the cards.
Also caught two stale _latest.html refs missed by the earlier
rename sweep: 8 tool links in reference.html and a comment line in
CLAUDE.md. Verified with a full link audit — every relative href in
index.html, reference.html, and releases/index.html now resolves to
an existing file under website/.
ARCHITECTURE.md doc-ownership table updated: zddc-server.html row
removed; new row added for the regenerated releases/index.html.
