ZDDC
c95f07966d
Bundles a stretch of in-progress work across the SPA tools so the
tree returns to a coherent shippable state ahead of cutting a new
zddc-server stable image:
- landing: substantial rework of the project picker (sortable/filterable
table, presets refactor, ?projects= filter, ?v= channel propagation,
loading/error states)
- archive: presets cleanup, source.js refactor, filtering/url-state
alignment with the landing page
- mdedit: file-system module split, resizer, file-tree improvements,
base/toc styling tweaks
- transmittal/classifier: small template touch-ups for shared chrome
- shared: build-lib.sh helpers, new favicon.svg
- bootstrap, build.sh: pick up the channel-aware install/track zip
generation
- tests: new landing.spec.js, expanded archive/mdedit/build-label specs
- docs: CLAUDE.md picks up the zddc-server section and freshens the
alpha-build exception note
- regenerated artifacts: install.zip, track-{alpha,beta,stable}.zip,
*_alpha.html — these are produced by `sh build.sh` and per project
convention are committed alongside the source changes

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.
