Marcos Paulo 48c31dc1b3 build: migrate from npm to pnpm
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.

Task 01 — Astro scaffold, gates, and the publishing decision

Agent: astro-architect · Model: Codex · Depends on: nothing Blocks: everything · Worktree: .agents/scripts/worktree.sh start 01 scaffold

Goal

A working Astro project that builds, serves one page correctly from the real host under /ai-for-dummies/, and has all three gate tiers live.

Scope

astro.config.mjs, package.json, tsconfig.json, src/layouts/BaseLayout.astro, .husky/, .lintstagedrc.json, lint configs, .gitea/workflows/verify.yml, docs/operations-guide.md.

Copy the configs from .agents/templates/config/ — they are written for this project (correct ignores for hands-on/, submitted-skills/, vote-service/).

Steps

  1. pnpm create astro@latest into the worktree — minimal template, TypeScript strict, no UI framework, no CSS framework.
  2. Set base: '/ai-for-dummies'. Every internal link goes through import.meta.env.BASE_URL from here on.
  3. src/layouts/BaseLayout.astro: <html lang>, viewport meta, title, description, global styles slot. Nothing clever.
  4. Merge .agents/templates/config/package.scripts.json into package.json. "prepare": "husky" is what makes hooks exist — without it every hook is inert.
  5. pnpm install husky lint-staged prettier eslint stylelint …, then pnpm exec husky init.
  6. Copy the three hooks and the lint configs into place. Verify with .agents/scripts/verify-hooks.sh.
  7. Migrate one page (summary/ — smallest, zero JS) as a smoke test.
  8. Copy hands-on/ into public/ (task 17 does this properly; a stub is fine here).
  9. Make the publishing decision per .agents/context/publishing.md. Recommended: Gitea Actions builds dist/ and pushes pages. Copy .agents/templates/config/gitea-ci.yaml to .gitea/workflows/verify.yml.
  10. Rewrite the publishing section of docs/operations-guide.md to match.

Done when

  • pnpm run build succeeds; pnpm run gate passes
  • .agents/scripts/verify-hooks.sh reports hooks live
  • A bad commit message is rejected; a raw hex in a .astro file is rejected
  • /ai-for-dummies/summary/ serves correctly from the real host, not just preview
  • docs/operations-guide.md describes the actual publishing path

Do not

  • Do not migrate more than one page. That is tasks 1216.
  • Do not add a UI framework, CSS framework, or any runtime dependency.
  • Do not touch hands-on/ contents, submitted-skills/, or vote-service/.

Watch for

The base path is the #1 production-only failure in this migration. pnpm run preview will lie to you. Deploy the smoke-test page and curl it with a ?v=<sha> cache-buster.
