ZDDC bdac8dc4fb docs: clean up drift left over from the Codeberg release-assets refactor
The 2dc9ad2 commit ("refactor: distribute via Codeberg release assets,
drop the upstream image") rewrote AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md but left
several pre-existing references to the old write-to-website/releases
flow and the now-removed Containerfile / podman-compose / release-image.sh.
This sweeps the rest:

- CLAUDE.md
  - drop "podman/podman-compose" from the zddc/ blurb (no Containerfile)
  - drop the broken `podman build -t zddc-server zddc/` command
  - rewrite the "Most-used commands" table so --release semantics match
    actual behavior (tag + Codeberg upload, not file write)
  - rewrite "Things that bite": replace "never write to website/releases/"
    and the obsolete "alpha exception" bullet with the new rules
    ($CODEBERG_TOKEN required, dist files no longer force-tracked, etc.)
  - rewrite the website/ description in "Repo shape" to reflect that
    only index.html + manifest.json live there now

- ARCHITECTURE.md
  - rewrite the website/ directory tree (no more <tool>_v*.html, _stable
    symlinks, or _alpha/_beta files)
  - rewrite "Channels" section: every cut now tags + uploads to Codeberg,
    alpha/beta have .N counters and matching tags, no more in-place
    overwrites
  - rewrite the build-label table: dev builds carry the next-stable
    target as a -alpha pre-release suffix with full timestamp + dirty
    marker (was: "Built: <ts> BETA")
  - update level-2 bootstrap description: resolves channel via
    manifest.json, fetches /releases/<tag>/<asset>, not a flat URL
  - update landing-tool description: ships only as Codeberg release
    asset, not a committed website/releases/landing_v<X>.html

- AGENTS.md
  - update website/ tree to the post-refactor layout
  - replace the two-step podman build / podman-compose run blocks under
    zddc-server with a Go build + go run quickstart (no container in
    this repo)
  - drop the "Containerfile uses a multi-stage build" note from the
    "Notes" list (Containerfile is gone)
  - drop the stale "landing/build.sh writes website/index.html" note —
    website/index.html is now hand-edited, not produced by landing's
    build

- README.md (top-level)
  - tools table no longer links to /releases/<tool>_stable.html
    (those URLs return 404 post-refactor); link to the releases page
    once instead

- bootstrap/README.md
  - update the "permanent pin" URL examples and CORS verification
    snippet to use /releases/<tag>/<asset> URLs (Caddy → Codeberg)
    instead of the old flat /releases/<tool>_<channel>.html pattern
  - explain that channel resolution is via manifest.json now

- zddc/README.md
  - rewrite Quick Start: download a release binary or build from source,
    no `podman build`
  - rewrite TLS examples to invoke ./zddc-server directly instead of
    `podman run ... zddc-server` (image name no longer exists)
  - mention ZDDC_INSECURE_DIRECT in the env-var table and the plain-HTTP
    example — startup is refused without it on non-loopback binds
  - replace the "Container image" section with "Distribution" (binaries
    on Codeberg, no image) and the "Building" section with go build
    instructions
  - replace "Release Tagging" with documentation of zddc/release.sh
    (the canonical replacement for release-image.sh, which is gone)

- shared/build-lib.sh
  - fix the comment claiming "plain builds mirror to website/releases/"
    — they don't anymore

# 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 Codeberg release assets, browsable at <https://zddc.varasys.io/releases/>. Append `?v=alpha` (or `?v=0.0.4`, etc.) to any deployment URL to switch versions for one request. See [`bootstrap/README.md`](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>.
Quick example: `123456-EL-SPC-2623_A (IFR) - Specification For Switchgear.pdf`
## Build & develop
```bash
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
```
