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.

Zero Day Document Control (ZDDC)
The Universal Distributed Filing Cabinet
ZDDC is an information management convention plus a small set of single-file HTML tools. Every deliverable's filename encodes its tracking number, revision, status, and title; every transmittal folder is date-prefixed and self-describing. A plain shared folder becomes a fully searchable, auditable archive — no server, no database, no software required to read it.
The name "Zero Day Document Control" comes from the convention itself — adopt it on day zero of a project, with no setup time. The tools are optional interfaces around the structure; the structure works without them.
For end users: https://zddc.varasys.io/ introduces the project, links to all tool channels (stable / beta / alpha), and offers
install.zipfor self-hosted deployments.
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| Archive Browser | Browse, search, and filter a project archive folder. Group by transmittal, export selections as ZIP. |
| Transmittal Creator | Self-contained HTML transmittal records with SHA-256 checksums and optional digital signatures. |
| Document Classifier | Spreadsheet-like bulk-renamer that copy/pastes with Excel and writes back to disk. |
| Markdown Editor | Browser-based markdown editor with YAML front matter, TOC, and direct local file access. |
Each tool is published in three channels (stable, beta, alpha) at https://zddc.varasys.io/releases/<tool>_<channel>.html. Append ?v=alpha (or ?v=0.0.4, etc.) to any URL to switch versions for one request. See bootstrap/README.md for the install / pin / audit story.
File-naming convention
The full specification — filename format, tracking numbers, revision rules, status codes, folder naming, and the transmittal workflow — lives at https://zddc.varasys.io/reference.html.

Build & develop
git clone https://codeberg.org/VARASYS/ZDDC.git && cd ZDDC
sh build.sh # build all tools (writes to dist/ only)
sh archive/build.sh # build one tool
sh archive/build.sh --release # cut stable; auto-bumps patch from last tag
sh archive/build.sh --release 0.1.0 # explicit version
sh archive/build.sh --release alpha # cut alpha (mutable channel, no tag)
sh archive/build.sh --release beta # cut beta
npm install && npx playwright install chromium && npm test # tests
./dev-server start # cache-busting HTTP on :8000
Authoritative build/release docs are in AGENTS.md. Architecture notes (single-file rationale, JS module pattern, security model) are in ARCHITECTURE.md. zddc-server (optional Go HTTP server with ACL and a virtual archive index) is in zddc/README.md.
