Ten git worktrees each carried their own 225 MB node_modules (1.1 GB across
five) and paid 11s per `npm ci`. pnpm hardlinks from a shared store: the same
five worktrees cost ~250 MB total, and a fresh install is 4s.
What changed beyond the mechanical rename:
- `overrides` moved to `pnpm-workspace.yaml`. pnpm 11 does not read the `pnpm`
field in package.json *or* npm's top-level `overrides`, and it fails silently
— the vite/defu/language-server pins would have quietly stopped applying.
- Build scripts are blocked by default in pnpm; esbuild and sharp are allowed
explicitly via `allowBuilds` (renamed from `onlyBuiltDependencies` in 11).
- `packageManager` + `engines` pin the toolchain.
- gate.sh rejects a package-lock.json/yarn.lock/bun.lock outright, so an agent
running `npm install` out of habit fails loudly instead of building a second,
divergent dependency tree.
- CI bootstraps pnpm with `npm install --global pnpm@11.25.0` rather than
corepack (unbundled as of Node 25) or pnpm/action-setup (this self-hosted
act-runner has never run a job; fetching a third-party action is not
something to discover on the first one).
Two pre-existing CI bugs fixed while in the file:
- the gate installed with `npm install --package-lock=false`, which discarded
the lockfile the previous session had just fixed.
- the visual-regression step imported `playwright`, which is not a dependency,
and `visual-regression.mjs` has no compare mode anyway — in CI it overwrote
its own baselines and passed unconditionally. Removed with a comment; it
comes back when it can diff.
The `publish` job is now manual (`workflow_dispatch`). During the migration
dist/ holds three HTML files against the live pages branch's ten, so publishing
on every push to main would take the site down to a stub. Restore at task 20.
HANDOVER.md's incident log still says npm where it describes what happened at
the time; that is history, not a missed rename.

Four task branches are green and unmerged, nothing is pushed, and three plan
bugs plus three agent mistakes were fixed along the way. Written so the next
session can pick up without re-deriving any of it.

Adds the agent-facing workspace and a 20-task plan for migrating the site
to Astro. Nothing here implements the refactor; these are briefs, rules and
templates that the task agents read.
- .agents/ holds context, rules, checklists, skills, specialist agents,
component/page/config templates and gate scripts. It is vendor-neutral so
MiniMax, Gemini and Codex can all read it; CLAUDE.md just points at
AGENTS.md.
- .husky/ plus .lintstagedrc.json wire the three gate tiers. gate.sh locks on
the shared git-common-dir so parallel worktrees serialise, and guards the
assertion count in scripts/verify.mjs against a coverage drop.
- plans/astro-refactor/ carries the phase graph, per-task briefs and the
model-routing recommendation.
These files must be tracked before fanning out: a worktree only checks out
tracked files, so an untracked plan is invisible to every agent working in one.
