Marcos Paulo 580293867d refactor: retire the hand-written site
Deletes the pre-Astro pages, scripts, and stylesheets that the migration
replaced, and moves the ones it did not replace out of the way.

Deleted (32 files): app.js, responsive.css, landing.css, rules/app.js,
rules/styles.css, skills/app.js, the ten route index.html files, and the
root hands-on/ copy, which is byte-identical to public/hands-on/ -- the
one the build actually ships.

Moved to legacy/ (12 files): styles.css, full-guide/audit.css,
chapters.css, skills/styles.css, skills-review/styles.css,
skills-review/change-lens.css, and the skills-review/app.js module graph.
These are not dead. The Astro pages import them and the build fails
without them, which the plan had not accounted for. They go to legacy/
rather than src/ because check-tokens.mjs sweeps src, and these files are
full of raw hex and unnamed breakpoints: moving one into src/ should mean
migrating it to tokens in the same change, not adding a scan exclusion.
The prettier, stylelint, and eslint ignore lists that already named these
files at their old paths now name legacy/ instead.

verify.mjs no longer reads app.js. The 102 Portuguese strings were
extracted from its translations.pt object before deletion into
.agents/snapshots/full-guide-pt.json -- a legacy capture, not a snapshot
of the Astro build, so the assertion still compares against an
independent source. The brace-matching helper's assertion is replaced by
one that rejects an empty snapshot entry, without which trimming the
snapshot would make the presence check pass vacuously. Count stays at 84.

audit-ui.mjs reads the ten pages from dist/ and resolves Astro's
base-absolute hrefs against it.

Before deleting anything, rendered-text-diff was run across all ten
routes plus both Portuguese pages: every one at parity, 0 missing and 0
extra. That comparison is not repeatable once the legacy files are gone.
computed-style-diff on /full-guide/ stays at 32 differences, so the moves
are style-neutral.

Docs updated to match: README, AGENTS.md, GATES.md, the architecture
context, the operations guide's lab instructions, and the three skills
that told you to serve the vanilla site.

Publishing is not part of this commit.

What is this project?

"AI For Dummies" — a bilingual (EN/PT-BR) presentation and workshop about working with coding agents: model routing, subagents, git worktrees, skills, rules, and verification. It is published as a static site on a self-hosted Gitea Pages Server, and it doubles as its own teaching artifact: the hands-on labs are dependency-free HTML/CSS/JS that workshop attendees point an agent at.

  • Stack: Astro, static output, no runtime dependencies. The migration recorded in plans/astro-refactor/ is complete; the hand-written pages it replaced are gone. What remains unmigrated is the editorial CSS and the review-desk modules under legacy/, still imported by the pages that need them.
  • Languages: English and Brazilian Portuguese, toggled client-side
  • Companion service: vote-service/ (Go + Kubernetes) — separate lifecycle, see its own README

Essential commands

pnpm run dev        # http://localhost:4321/ai-for-dummies/
pnpm run build      # writes dist/ — every check below reads it
bash .agents/scripts/gate.sh # the full gate: check, build, verify, audit, tokens
pnpm run verify     # content + interaction contracts (scripts/verify.mjs)
node scripts/audit-ui.mjs          # responsive / no-external-dependency audit
node scripts/build-skill-review.mjs # regenerate skill-reviews/improved/ from src/content/reviews/

pnpm run verify is not a formality. It is a set of 84 string-token assertions that pin the site's real content and interactions, read from the built output. A refactor that "passes" by deleting assertions has failed. See .agents/context/verification.md.

Publishing

main is the source of truth. The pages branch is what the Gitea Pages Server actually serves, and it now carries build output, not a copy of main's tree. The publish job force-pushes dist/ over it. The full procedure is in docs/operations-guide.md; read .agents/context/publishing.md before changing it.

Never touch

  • public/hands-on/starter/ and public/hands-on/rules/lab fixtures. The exercise is that they are dependency-free vanilla HTML/CSS/JS an attendee can hand to an agent. Componentizing them destroys the lesson. They ship as static assets.
  • submitted-skills/ — other people's submitted work, reproduced verbatim
  • skill-reviews/improved/ — generated; edit src/content/reviews/*.md instead
  • vote-service/ — separate deploy lifecycle; do not fold into the site build
  • dist/, node_modules/ — build output, never committed
  • pnpm-lock.yamlcommitted, but never hand-edited. Change it only as a side effect of pnpm install. Every worktree spins up with pnpm install --frozen-lockfile, which fails outright without it.
  • This project is pnpm-only (packageManager in package.json pins the version). Never run npm install or bun install here — the gate rejects a package-lock.json, yarn.lock, or bun.lock outright. pnpm settings live in pnpm-workspace.yaml, not in a pnpm field in package.json; pnpm 11 ignores that field silently.

The one thing to understand first

This site's styling is not a design system today. Three near-duplicate palettes have drifted apart (--ink exists as #172f42, #122534, and #173044), and the @font-face rule in styles.css:1 is malformed, so the intended Manrope/DM Mono typography has never actually rendered. "Maintain the same styles" therefore needs a deliberate decision, not a copy-paste. Read .agents/context/design-system.md before touching any CSS.
