sneak 90f188c256 Add canonical policy dotfiles, harden both ignore files (closes #8)
REPO_POLICIES.md lists the files every repo must contain at minimum;
four were missing here and .gitignore covered only Hugo's outputs.

REPO_POLICIES.md is a byte-identical copy of the canonical file in the
prompts repo, YAML front matter (title, last_modified) intact so it can
be diffed against upstream as policy evolves. It is not clean under this
repo's prettier settings, so the reformat is the next commit rather than
churn mixed in here; the byte-identical copy is what landed.

.editorconfig, .prettierrc and .prettierignore are the canonical
contents. script/fmt and script/fmt-check keep passing --tab-width 4
--prose-wrap always on the command line: the duplication is deliberate
so the scripts still work standalone when copied as a template, and the
values agree, so adding .prettierrc changes nothing about what make fmt
does.

.gitignore keeps its three Hugo lines and gains the canonical
OS/editor/node/secrets block plus .claude/. The secrets patterns are the
point: a stray .env or private key can no longer be committed by a broad
git add. .claude/ holds worktrees/, so without it a clean checkout with
agent tooling present is not git status-clean.

.dockerignore gains the same coverage but not the same syntax. It does
not use .gitignore semantics: it matches with Go's filepath.Match rules
extended with **, where * does not cross / and an unprefixed pattern is
anchored at the context root. A bare *.key therefore excludes
./server.key and ships ./certs/server.key into the image, which is worse
than an obviously incomplete file because it reads as complete. Every
depth-independent pattern here carries an explicit **/ prefix; only the
entries that are genuinely root-anchored by definition go bare - .git,
Hugo's public and resources output directories, and .hugo_build.lock.
The distinction is spelled out in a comment at the top of the file so
the next edit does not quietly undo it.

Excluding .claude/ also keeps entire additional checkouts of this repo
out of the build context, which the Dockerfile's COPY . . would
otherwise copy into the image.

Verified by planting .env, server.key, deep.pem and node_modules two
directories deep and building: with the patterns unprefixed all of them
reach /src in the image, with **/ none do. Root-only testing does not
exercise this and produces a false pass.

Workflow

  • branch (from main)
  • do the work in Next Step
  • move Next Step to the top of Completed Steps
  • move the top item of Future Steps into Next Step
  • commit (TODO.md changes in the same commit as the work)
  • merge to main if the branch is not protected, otherwise open a PR
  • push

Status

pre-1.0

No git tags. The site is live and now has the scripts-to-rule-them-all scaffold (Makefile, script/, Dockerfile, check.yml) and the canonical policy dotfiles; LICENSE is the only mandated file still missing. Every external reference in the repo is now pinned by cryptographic hash (or, for the wrangler CLI install, an exact version), and the Hugo that builds the published site is a deliberate pinned version rather than whatever the base image's package repo serves.

Next Step

Add LICENSE (#10) and replace the README's "content is provided as-is" note with the committed license. Blocked on the owner's choice of license — the remaining policy scaffold is otherwise complete.

Completed Steps

  • 2026-08-09: added the canonical policy dotfiles and hardened both ignore files (closes #8). REPO_POLICIES.md is a byte-identical copy of the canonical prompts file, front matter intact; .editorconfig, .prettierrc and .prettierignore are the canonical contents. .gitignore keeps its three Hugo lines and gains the OS/editor/node/secrets block plus .claude/, so a clean checkout with agent tooling present is git status-clean and a stray key or .env can no longer be committed. .dockerignore gained the same coverage but not the same syntax: it matches with Go's filepath.Match rules extended with **, where * does not cross / and an unprefixed pattern is anchored at the context root, so every depth-independent pattern carries an explicit **/ prefix and only the genuinely root-anchored entries (.git, public, resources, .hugo_build.lock) go bare. Verified by planting .env, *.key, *.pem and node_modules two directories deep: the unprefixed form shipped all of them into the image and the **/ form ships none. Excluding .claude/ also takes worktrees/ — entire additional checkouts of this repo — out of the build context; #23's two-consecutive-run proof was re-run against the smaller context, since that issue was validated against the old one. Note the canonical upstream REPO_POLICIES.md is not clean under this repo's prettier settings, so the reformat is a separate follow-up commit rather than churn mixed into this one
  • 2026-08-09: stopped script/cibuild reporting a green it never earned (closes #23). COPY . . is keyed on content, so on an unchanged tree Docker served RUN make check from cache: the checks never executed and the build still exited 0. Three separate reviewers had already been fooled by it here. The Dockerfile now declares ARG CHECK_EPOCH below COPY . . with no default (a default is a constant, and a constant is a stable cache key), guards it with RUN [ -n "$CHECK_EPOCH" ] || exit 1, and expands it into the check command; script/cibuild and script/docker both pass epoch="$(date +%s%N)$$" — assigned on its own line, because a failing command substitution inside an argument does not trip set -e, and with $$ because busybox date drops %N silently. This is the canonical shape settled upstream in prompts #26, which has not merged there yet, so it may need re-syncing. Verified with two consecutive runs on an unchanged tree that both executed the checks while RUN script/bootstrap stayed CACHED, a constant-epoch counterfactual that restored the false green, and a planted prettier failure that failed the build
  • 2026-08-09: disabled the unused taxonomy and term page kinds in hugo.toml (closes #13). Hugo enables the tags and categories taxonomies by default; this single-page site has no taxonomy terms and no taxonomy templates, so every build emitted WARN found no layout file for "html" for kind "taxonomy" and generated categories/index.xml and tags/index.xml that nothing links to. Re-verified the warning still occurs on the now-pinned hugo v0.164.0 rather than trusting the issue's text, which predates the version move. make test and make lint are now WARN-free, so the build's noise floor is zero and the next warning will be visible. public/ is otherwise byte-identical — index.html, css/style.css and the RSS index.xml all unchanged — and sitemap.xml is still generated, now listing only the home page instead of two taxonomy URLs
  • 2026-08-09: replaced hugo.toml's deprecated languageCode key with locale (closes #18). Hugo deprecated languageCode in v0.158.0, so the Hugo pinned in the preceding commit warns about it; left alone it would become a third routinely-ignored warning, and a latent breakage when the key is removed. Deliberately sequenced after the Hugo version move and in the same branch: under the apk hugo 0.139.0 that CI ran until now, locale is an unknown key that is silently ignored, which downgrades the generated RSS from <language>en-us</language> to <language>en</language> with no warning and exit 0. Verified on hugo v0.164.0 that the RSS <language> still reads en-us, the lang attribute is unchanged, and public/ is byte-identical to the preceding commit's output
  • 2026-08-09: installed Hugo at a deliberate, hash-verified version instead of taking whatever alpine ships (closes #26). script/bootstrap no longer does pkg_install hugo; it installs github.com/gohugoio/hugo@v0.164.0 with go install, which verifies the module against sum.golang.org. The version is a commented constant, as is the Go toolchain (go1.26.5) — hugo v0.164.0 requires go >= 1.26.0 and alpine 3.21 ships go 1.23.9 with GOTOOLCHAIN=local, so a bare go install refuses to run. CGO_ENABLED=0 is deliberate: standard Hugo, not extended, because this site has no SCSS, no resources.ToCSS, no PostCSS and no image processing. This moves the build off apk's hugo 0.139.0, about two years behind, onto the current stable. Rendered output across the whole public/ tree is unchanged except the meta name=generator version string
  • 2026-08-09: made script/check run script/lint (closes #9). It previously ran only fmt-check then test, so script/lint executed nowhere — not in make check, not in the pre-commit hook, and not in CI, even though the Dockerfile runs make check and script/cibuild builds it. It now runs test, lint, fmt-check in the canonical order, so the hugo --printPathWarnings render-target-collision signal is no longer discarded. README.md's Entrypoints line was corrected to match
  • 2026-08-09: hash-pinned every external reference in .gitea/workflows/deploy.yml (closes #7): both job container images are pinned by digest, all three uses: are pinned by 40-hex commit SHA, and the wrangler install is pinned to an exact version. The abandoned klakegg/hugo:ext-alpine image is gone: the build job now runs on the same pinned alpine digest the Dockerfile uses, with a pre-checkout apk add nodejs git tar step (the Actions runner needs node inside the job container to execute JavaScript actions), an explicit shell: sh default, then script/bootstrap and script/test. The deploy job is guarded with if: github.ref_name == 'main' so it can never publish from a branch. Also dropped the dead feat/initial-site push trigger and reindented the file to 4-space YAML to match check.yml. This is the second attempt; the first broke the deploy and was reverted, so this one was verified by temporarily triggering the workflow on the PR branch and iterating until the build job ran green for real
  • 2026-07-25: added the scripts-to-rule-them-all scaffold (closes #4): script/ entrypoints, Makefile shims, a Hugo Dockerfile (sha256-pinned alpine) plus .dockerignore that runs make check, .gitea/workflows/check.yml running script/cibuild, and a README Entrypoints section. test/lint are a clean hugo --minify build; fmt/fmt-check run prettier over the repo's own top-level markdown only
  • 2026-02-10: design pass: minimal light theme with inline CSS, grey wells for mesh channels and signal groups, horizontal overflow fix, body width tuning, map link update
  • 2026-02-10: added README and footer contribute link
  • 2026-02-10: added Gitea workflow that builds the site and deploys to Cloudflare Pages
  • 2026-02-08: initial Hugo static site for lora.vegas

Future Steps

  • Move the artifact actions to v4 once this Gitea Actions instance serves the v4 artifact protocol; they are pinned on the deprecated v3 line because v4 fails here (#20)
  • Move the deploy container to a pinned node 22 so the wrangler pin can advance past 4.86.0 (#21)
  • Rework README.md into the standard sections: Description, Getting Started, Rationale, Design, TODO, License, Author (currently About, Contributing, Technical Details, License)
  • Sync the reformat of REPO_POLICIES.md back upstream to prompts so the canonical copy is clean under the shared prettier settings and future syncs are a straight byte copy
  • Verify the Cloudflare Pages deploy still works after the workflow changes
  • Keep mesh channel and signal group listings current
