Summary

Drafts for three work package 2 milestones that don't depend on work package 1's code. No Idris code changes.

  • SEARCH-INDEX.adoc (milestone 4) specifies version 1 of a static JSON search index:

    • what is indexed, normative tokenisation and the 33-word English stop list;
    • integer field weights, file structure with fixed key order, and JSON escaping;
    • a deterministic size-limit rule, a worked example and a stability policy.

    It is off by default, and has no timestamp, so identical sources give an identical file.

  • FEEDS.adoc (milestone 5) first records exactly what today's Atom feed does, including its defects. No current test generates a feed, so milestone 5 must start by golden-testing it. It then defines one feed item model for Atom, RSS 2.0 and JSON Feed 1.1, with a consumer contract for superfeedreader. Every Atom change is marked as an intended golden-test diff.

  • .github/workflows/release.yml (milestone 10), with .github/scripts/*.sh and RELEASING.adoc. On a vX.Y.Z tag it builds a fully static x86_64 Linux binary and publishes it with a SHA-256 checksum and a signed provenance attestation. Before publishing, it runs the same verification commands users are given. workflow_dispatch builds and tests only.

Status: draft, nothing here has executed. These were written on a machine without a Linux Idris 2 toolchain. The specs are not implemented. The release workflow has never run, and needs the fork dry-run described in RELEASING.adoc before anyone pushes a release tag upstream. Items marked (WP1) in the docs are provisional until work package 1 is merged.

Closes # (none: work package 2 has no issue)

Type of change

  • 🐛 Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
  • ✨ New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
  • 💥 Breaking change (would change existing behaviour)
  • 🕳️ Soundness fix (fixes a checker/proof false-negative)
  • 📖 Documentation
  • 🧹 Refactor / tech debt (behaviour-preserving)
  • ⚡ Performance
  • 🔧 Build / CI / tooling

How has this been verified?

Commands actually run (Windows, Git Bash; no Idris 2 or Linux available):

  • bash --posix -n on all three scripts: no errors.
  • test-static.sh against stub binaries: it passes when the two binaries agree. It fails, as intended, when:
    • a subcommand's output differs;
    • a draft page gets built;
    • the static build of examples/ fails;
    • the large-page build crashes;
    • it is called without arguments.
  • check-idris-version.sh with a fake idris2:
    • accepts 0.8.0-6ca00e72e, 0.8.0 and 0.10.1;
    • rejects 0.7.0 and unparseable output.
  • build-static.sh's toolchain check against fake image layouts. It passes on the matching layout and stops with a clear message when:
    • the version string names another commit;
    • the version string has no commit hash;
    • a header differs or is missing;
    • there are two version directories.
  • The pinned toolchain was read, not run:
    • Idris 2 0.8.0 at 6ca00e72 on Ubuntu 24.04, from the image's manifest and layers;
    • the Zig 0.16.0 checksum from ziglang.org/download/index.json;
    • the GMP 6.3.0 tarball checksum, computed from both gmplib.org and ftp.gnu.org;
    • action SHAs from git ls-remote.
  • An independent review recomputed the search-index example and checked the "current Atom" description against Ddraig.idr. All its findings are fixed.

Not verified:

  • the workflow YAML (no linter here);
  • every real build step: Zig, GMP, RefC, the musl runtimes, linking;
  • the attestation and release steps.

Checklist

  • My commits are signed (git commit -S). No signing key on the machine these were made on. If unsigned commits can't be merged here, squash-merging on GitHub creates a signed commit.
  • I ran the project's own checks/tests locally and they pass. Not possible without Idris 2; see above. No Idris code changed, so the existing CI checks still apply as before.
  • New files carry the correct SPDX-License-Identifier (code/config MPL-2.0,
    prose CC-BY-SA-4.0); I did not relicense existing files.
  • Docs are updated, and no public claim now overstates what the code does. Every new document opens by saying it is a draft, and what is untested.
  • I have not introduced a soundness hole (or I have flagged where I might have). No Idris code changed.

Notes for reviewers

How the static binary is built. The Chez backend can't produce a single static binary, because it needs the Chez runtime. So the release uses Idris 2's RefC backend, compiled with zig cc against musl, with GMP and the Idris 2 C runtimes rebuilt for musl. CI tests the Chez build, so test-static.sh requires both builds to give byte-identical output on:

  • every test subcommand;
  • examples/ and a generated fixture site;
  • a large page.

Risks to watch in the dry-run (all listed in RELEASING.adoc):

  • the fixed C stack versus Chez's growable one on large pages;
  • whether the Idris 2 C runtimes compile for musl (getline.c may clash with musl's own definitions);
  • whether pack's idris2 --version carries the commit hash. The build fails closed if not.

Pins.

  • Every action is pinned to a commit SHA, and all four are JavaScript actions with no inner actions, so they meet the SHA-pin policy noted in ci.yml.
  • The build container uses the same image digest as ci.yml; bump both together.

Found in the existing code, not changed here:

  • The inline parser's splitOnStr re-packs the rest of the paragraph at every delimiter, so a long paragraph costs quadratic time.
  • jsonEsc escapes only ", \ and newline, so a tab can produce invalid JSON.
  • copyTree copies assets through readFile/writeFile as text. That likely corrupts binary files such as images (not tested), which matters for milestones 1 and 2.

Merged with main after #25, and updated for it.

Specify version 1 of a static JSON search index, ahead of implementing it:
location, which pages and fields are indexed, normative tokenisation and
stop words, integer field weights, file structure with key order, JSON
escaping, a deterministic size-limit rule, a worked example, and the
stability policy.

The index is off by default so existing sites gain no new file, and it
carries no timestamp so identical sources give an identical file
(milestone 6 relies on that). Config keys and per-language paths are
provisional until work package 1 lands.

Not implemented and not tested; the document says so.

Record exactly what today's Atom feed does (genFeed), including its
defects, because no current test generates a feed and milestone 5 must
start by golden-testing that output.

Define one feed item model rendered as Atom, RSS 2.0 and JSON Feed 1.1:
selection and ordering, site/section/tag feed paths, field-by-field
mapping, worked examples, and a consumer contract for superfeedreader
(stable ids shared across feeds and formats, honest updated times).
Changes to Atom output are marked as intended golden-test diffs.

Validation is by recorded fixtures plus xmllint and jq, since the W3C
validator is Python. Not implemented and not tested.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
On a vX.Y.Z tag, build a fully static x86_64-linux-musl binary, publish
it with a SHA-256 checksum and a signed SLSA build provenance
attestation, and verify both with the same commands users are given
before publishing. workflow_dispatch builds and tests only.

The Chez backend cannot produce a single static binary, so the release
uses the RefC backend compiled with zig cc against musl, with GMP and
the Idris 2 C runtimes rebuilt for musl. Because CI tests the Chez
build, test-static.sh requires both binaries to give byte-identical
output on every test subcommand, a fixture site and a large page.

Toolchain pins: the same idris2-pack image digest as ci.yml (Idris 2
0.8.0 at 6ca00e72, checked by reading the image layers), Zig 0.16.0
and GMP 6.3.0 by SHA-256, actions by commit SHA. build-static.sh
refuses to link runtimes from a different Idris 2 commit.

DRAFT, NEVER RUN: written without a Linux toolchain. The scripts were
syntax-checked and exercised against stub binaries only. RELEASING.adoc
has the fork dry-run procedure and an empty record; do not push a
release tag upstream before that dry-run passes.

A rabbit checks the pinned tools with care,
Then watches static bytes rise in the air.
Two builds compare their pages line by line,
While checksums and attestations shine.
Feed plans and search notes join the stack,
The rabbit hops with proof packed in its sack.

Review comments at @FEEDS.adoc:
- Around line 165-166: Update the RSS and JSON Feed description to distinguish
Ddraig’s implementation policy from format requirements: state that Ddraig
requires a base URL for these outputs and skips them with a warning when none is
configured, without claiming JSON Feed requires absolute URLs. Preserve the note
that Atom uses its `urn:` fallback.
- Around line 116-118: Align the no-date fallback scope described for `updated`
in the feed documentation: make the rule consistent between the feed-level
description and the whole-site rule, including feeds with only undated items
when dated pages exist elsewhere. Update both descriptions to use the same
scope.
- Line 188: Update the RSS field mapping for `Feed.updated` so it does not map
directly to `lastBuildDate`; use a timestamp for when the channel content
changed, or omit `lastBuildDate` when that timestamp is unavailable.

Review comments at @SEARCH-INDEX.adoc:
- Around line 163-164: Clarify the excerpt definition in the `excerpt` table
entry by specifying the exact whitespace set, whether leading and trailing
whitespace are retained, and that whitespace collapsing happens before the
160-code-point truncation. Ensure the rules deterministically define which code
points are whitespace and when the ellipsis is appended.

.github/scripts/build-static.sh: 1

113-116: Do not use --disable-assembly and make check with a cross target without confirming that the tests can run.

make check runs the GMP test binaries on the host. Here the host is x86_64 Linux and the target is x86_64-linux-musl, so the static musl test binaries should run. This step is acceptable. No change is required.

.github/workflows/release.yml: 2

152-162: Make the release notes show real line continuations.

The heredoc is unquoted, so the shell processes \\ and turns it into a single \. The gh commands in the notes therefore keep their line continuations, and $BIN/$GITHUB_* expand as intended. The step works as written. No change is required.

#25 restored the Markdown example pages, so the drafts' statements that
examples/ builds no pages are out of date.

- FEEDS.adoc: the CI build job's feed now has entries; it is still
  published to Pages unchecked.
- test-static.sh: also require byte-identical builds of examples/; the
  generated fixture stays for the nested page, draft and extra Markdown.
- RELEASING.adoc: describe both sites, and record the repository's
  SHA-pin policy (which also checks a composite action's inner actions).
  All four actions in release.yml are JavaScript actions, which is why
  it calls actions/attest directly rather than the composite
  attest-build-provenance v4 wrapper.

🤖 Completed: Fix pre-merge checks in PR #26 — View commit 9f214b7

From the CodeRabbit review on #26, each checked against the text:

- FEEDS.adoc: one scope for the feed-level updated fallback. A feed
  with no dated items uses the site's newest date; only a site with no
  dated pages falls back to the build day or SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH. The
  feed table and the consumer contract now agree.
- FEEDS.adoc: requiring a base URL for RSS and JSON Feed is stated as
  Ddraig's policy; JSON Feed 1.1 itself makes URLs optional.
- FEEDS.adoc: stop mapping the feed's updated to RSS lastBuildDate.
  That element means "when the channel last changed", which the newest
  item date does not track, so it is omitted (it is optional).
- SEARCH-INDEX.adoc: define the excerpt exactly: which code points are
  whitespace, collapse then trim then truncate, and when the ellipsis
  is added.
