Claude be2c204d56 site(com): Downloads and Documents, built from a release; the nav links; the release's SHA256SUMS covers every file (#126, #157) [skip ci]
The design canvas (v17) gains the Documents artboard -- the Book of Fabric and
the Dictionary of v4 first, then the book, the three volumes and the API
reference, each with its SHA-256, and the SSRN paper -- and Downloads and
Documents in every .com nav; Downloads' reading list becomes a pointer to
Documents. site/com/canvas/ copied from it.

site/com/build.py --release TAG --sums SHA256SUMS builds Downloads and
Documents from the release ([TAG], [RELEASE]/<file>, [SHA:<file>]; a file the
release's SHA256SUMS lacks fails the build). Without a release it builds Home,
Try it and Inquiries exactly as before -- byte for byte -- with no link to the
two pages, so they go live only with alpha.4. install.sh installs them when
built.

scripts/nightly.sh gitea-release: the release's SHA256SUMS now covers every
file it attaches -- the images' sums, then the PDFs and the Root CA's
certificate -- so `sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS` checks all of it and Documents
finds each sum. The Nexus artifacts keep their own.

alpha.4's documents and pages -- progress (kept current, one line per increment)

Captain Bob, 2026-11-10: "Do it" -- the rest of alpha.4 that lives in the tree, after #92 (merged, #160). #133 and #134 are the server's (Captain Bob's).

#138 -- The Book of Fabric

  • docs/book/fabric.tex: the FABRIC record as one book -- Part I the living record (FABRIC-3), Part II the closed ones in order, Part III the forward-looking notes; title page with the version (git describe --tags) and the commit. The book's preamble moved into docs/book/preamble.tex, shared by both books (the book itself builds unchanged, 821 pages).
  • make fabric -> build/docs/BookOfFabric.pdf (722 pages, 42 s).
  • scripts/nightly.sh docs builds it ($DOCS/fabric.pdf); publish sends it as org.starship:documentation:<version>, classifier fabric; gitea-release attaches every PDF in $DOCS, so the release carries it.

#157 -- the dictionary of v4, and the .com's Documents page

  • the live word list of the built system (318 words): v4/tools/mkdictionary.py words -- the hosted v4's WORDS (317) plus the kernel's sk_v4_words[] (MINT-ZUSE)
  • the table in the tree, docs/reference/v4-dictionary.tsv: all 318 entries, written in three alphabetical batches against v4's own definitions (the source gave 54 stacks and 105 descriptions to start from); check passes
  • the check: mkdictionary.py check -- every live word has a finished entry, every entry a live word; run by make dictionary, so a stale table fails the build and the nightly
  • the PDF, alphabetical: make dictionary -> build/docs/Dictionary.pdf (20 pages; docs/book/dictionary.tex); the nightly's docs stage builds it, publish sends classifier dictionary, the release attaches it
  • the Documents page: the canvas artboard (project/Documents.dc.html, canvas v17: the Book of Fabric and the Dictionary first, then the book, the volumes, the API; each with its SHA-256; the SSRN paper), then site/com/canvas/Documents.dc.html

#126 -- the Downloads page live

  • site/com/build.py --release TAG --sums SHA256SUMS builds Downloads and Documents: [TAG], [RELEASE]/<file> (the Gitea release's file), [SHA:<file>]; a file not in SHA256SUMS fails the build. Without a release it builds the three pages as before, byte for byte, with no link to the two. install.sh installs them when they are built. The release's SHA256SUMS now covers every file it attaches (the images, the PDFs, the Root CA's certificate): nightly.sh gitea-release
  • the nav links on Home, Try it, Inquiries (canvas v17; shown only when the two pages are built)

At the alpha.4 release (after gitea-release): download the release's SHA256SUMS, then python3 site/com/build.py --release v4.0.0-alpha.4 --sums SHA256SUMS and XWIKI_USER=rajames XWIKI_PASSWORD=... site/com/install.sh (Captain Bob's; the .com's login).
