Both notify-chart-dev.yml and the notify-chart-prod job in
deploy-release.yml were carrying ~80 lines of inline shell each,
duplicating the clone-bump-push flow. Extract to a single script:
.forgejo/scripts/notify-chart-bump.sh <beta|stable> [VERSION]
Three benefits:
1. **Locally testable**. The script is invocable directly:
CHART_FORGEJO_TOKEN=$FORGEJO_TOKEN \
.forgejo/scripts/notify-chart-bump.sh beta
No more "push to main and watch what the runner does" debug loop.
2. **Manual escape hatch**. When CI is broken, the same script is
how we recover. The 0.0.16-beta-1ddd331 chart bump preceding
this commit was performed via this very script.
3. **Runner-quirk-immune**. The previous three commits chased a
Forgejo runner v12.9.0 phantom-SIGPIPE bug that would only
surface under the runner's `bash -e -o pipefail {0}` wrapper.
A real script with its own `#!/usr/bin/env bash` and explicit
error handling sidesteps the wrapper entirely.
The workflow YAMLs shrink to checkout + run-script. No GITHUB_OUTPUT
plumbing, no inline if/else gates, no shell flag overrides. The
behavior is identical to the prior inline versions.

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 prints copy-paste shell snippets to install on a self-hosted deployment.
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) as static files served from https://zddc.varasys.io/releases/. Local use: download a .html file from releases/ and open it in a browser. Server use: run zddc-server — the current-stable build of every tool is baked into the binary at compile time, so a fresh deployment Just Works with zero config. Tools auto-appear at folder-name-driven paths (archive everywhere; classifier in Incoming/Working/Staging; mdedit in Working; transmittal in Staging). Override per-directory by writing an apps: entry in any .zddc file (channel/version/URL/path). URL overrides are fetched once and cached in <ZDDC_ROOT>/_app/; drop a real .html file at any path to override entirely.
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. Example Helm charts for deploying zddc-server (production + dev) are under helm/.
