Restructure README.md into the canonical section set (closes #11)
REPO_POLICIES.md mandates a fixed set of README sections; this README
predated the standard being applied here and had About / Contributing /
Technical Details / Entrypoints / License instead. It is now a
Description first line followed by Getting Started, Entrypoints,
Rationale, Design, TODO, License, Author, with Author last.

Nothing the old headings held was dropped: the list of what the site
publishes moved under the Description, and the contribute contact and
the local-preview instructions moved into Getting Started.

Getting Started was written against the current Makefile rather than
carried over from the old prose, which had drifted. There is no
`make build` target, so the old "Build: `hugo`" instruction is now
`make test`; "Local Development: `hugo server`" is now `make setup`
then `make serve`, and `make setup` is what makes a fresh clone
buildable at all since it installs the pinned Hugo.

Two stale claims are fixed. The site is deployed by Gitea Actions to
Cloudflare Pages, not "automatically via GitHub Actions". And the
Entrypoints bullet for `script/fmt` still described the
top-level-markdown-only scope that #12 replaced with `'**/*.md'` and
`'**/*.css'`; the rest of that section was verified accurate against the
scripts, including the `script/check` order and the `CHECK_EPOCH` guard
that makes a bare `docker build .` fail closed.

The License section body is deliberately untouched and no LICENSE file
is added: that is #10's, which is blocked on the owner's choice of
license. For the same reason the Description sentence omits the license
clause the policy asks for; #10 completes both.

The Design section's claims were checked against the tree rather than
assumed: the vendored theme, the `readFile` inline of style.css in
baseof.html, the `hugo --minify` output to `public/`, and the deploy
workflow.

# lora.vegas
`lora.vegas` is the website of the Las Vegas Meshtastic and LoRa community: a
single-page static site, built with Hugo, by [@sneak](https://sneak.berlin).
It publishes what the local mesh needs in one linkable place:
- Mesh channel configurations
- Community coordination links (Discord, Signal)
- Meetup information
- Local resources
## Getting Started
From a fresh clone, `make setup` installs every build dependency (git, make, go,
the pinned Hugo, node/npm) and the git pre-commit hook, and `make serve` starts
the Hugo development server:
```bash
git clone git@git.eeqj.de:sneak/lora.vegas.git
cd lora.vegas
make setup
make serve
```
Then open <http://localhost:1313> to preview the site.
To produce the production build, which writes the rendered site to `public/`:
```bash
make test
```
Before committing, run the full check suite — the production build, the lint
build, and the formatting check:
```bash
make check
```
`make fmt` rewrites the repo's markdown and CSS to the project's prettier
settings; run it if `make check` fails on formatting.

## Entrypoints
This repository adheres to the
[Scripts to Rule Them All](https://github.com/github/scripts-to-rule-them-all)
standard: normalized scripts in `script/` are the entrypoints for the
development workflow, and the Makefile targets are thin shims that call them. We
provide:
- `script/bootstrap` — install all build dependencies (git, make, go, hugo,
node/npm) idempotently. Hugo is pinned to an exact version and installed with
`go install`, which verifies it against `sum.golang.org`; the version is the
`HUGO_VERSION` constant at the top of the script
- `script/setup` — prepare a fresh clone: run `script/bootstrap` and install the
git pre-commit hook
- `script/test` — the correctness check: a clean `hugo --minify` production
build
- `script/lint` — a clean build that surfaces broken links and path collisions
- `script/fmt` — format every markdown and CSS file in the repo with prettier;
the exclusions live in `.prettierignore` with the reason for each
- `script/fmt-check` — check that formatting (read-only)
- `script/check` — run `script/test`, `script/lint`, then `script/fmt-check`;
modifies no tracked files
- `script/docker` — build the Docker image tagged with the project name
- `script/cibuild` — the CI build; the Dockerfile runs `make check`
- `script/install-precommit` — install the git pre-commit hook that runs
`script/check`
Build the image through `script/cibuild` or `script/docker` only. Both pass a
per-invocation `CHECK_EPOCH` build argument that the Dockerfile requires, so the
`make check` layer can never be served from cache — without it Docker returns a
green it did not earn. A bare `docker build .` fails closed on the Dockerfile's
`CHECK_EPOCH` guard rather than caching its way to a false success.
A convenience `make serve` target runs `hugo server` for local preview.
## Rationale
The Las Vegas Meshtastic and LoRa community needs one durable, linkable place
for its channel configurations and group links. Those details otherwise live
inside a Discord or Signal thread, where they scroll away, cannot be linked to
from outside, are invisible to anyone who has not already joined, and quietly go
stale. A static site at a stable domain is the opposite of that: one URL to hand
to a newcomer, and one place to correct when a channel changes.
## Design
The site is a single page. All of its content is one Hugo content file,
`content/_index.md`, rendered by a minimal theme vendored in-repo at
`themes/loravega/` — there is no upstream theme dependency and no submodule.
The theme's `layouts/_default/baseof.html` inlines
`themes/loravega/static/css/style.css` into a `<style>` block with Hugo's
`readFile`, so the whole site ships as a single HTML document with no external
CSS request and no second round trip.
`hugo --minify` builds the site into `public/`. Deployment is automatic: on push
to `main`, the Gitea Actions workflow `.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml` builds the
site and publishes `public/` to Cloudflare Pages.
