ci: publish to pages from a pre-push hook
Pushing main now rebuilds the site and force-pushes dist/ to pages.

.agents/scripts/publish-pages.sh does the work. It never checks pages
out: it writes a tree straight from dist/ with write-tree and
commit-tree, so the working tree is untouched and a failure halfway
through leaves nothing behind. The commit is parented on the current
pages tip, so the branch keeps its history and a rollback is one
force-push to an earlier commit -- which the script prints before it
pushes.

It refuses to publish when the working tree is dirty, when HEAD is not
main, when HEAD is not the commit being pushed, or when any of the ten
routes is missing or empty in dist/. A build can succeed and still emit a
stub; that is exactly how this site would go down.

The hook guards three ways. AF_PUBLISHING short-circuits it so the
publisher's own push does not re-enter it forever. AF_NO_PUBLISH=1 lets
you push main without publishing. And because git has no post-push hook,
the publish necessarily runs before main lands -- so it first checks that
the remote tip is an ancestor of what is being pushed, and skips
publishing when the push could still be rejected as a non-fast-forward.

Also rewrites the operations guide's rollback section, which still
described merging main into pages with --ff-only. That has not been true
since pages started carrying build output.

# AGENTS.md
Entry point for any AI agent or new engineer working in this repository. Read
this file, then follow the links you need. Full map:
[`.agents/ORCHESTRATOR.md`](.agents/ORCHESTRATOR.md).
## 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/`](plans/astro-refactor/README.md) 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**: a Go + Kubernetes vote API, reached over
`window.SKILLS_REVIEW_VOTE_API`. Its source is no longer in this repository
## Essential commands
```bash
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`](.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.
**Pushing `main` republishes the live site.** The `pre-push` hook runs the gate,
then `.agents/scripts/publish-pages.sh`, which builds and force-pushes `dist/`
to `pages`. Use `AF_NO_PUBLISH=1 git push` to land a commit without publishing.
`pages` keeps its history, so rollback is a single force-push to an earlier tip;
`pages-backup-2026-09-06` is the last commit of the hand-written site. The full
procedure is in [`docs/operations-guide.md`](docs/operations-guide.md); read
[`.agents/context/publishing.md`](.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
- `dist/`, `node_modules/` — build output, never committed
- `pnpm-lock.yaml`**committed, 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.
## Rules
Binding. Read the one that covers what you are about to do.
| Rule | When |
| ---------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| [`astro.md`](.agents/rules/astro.md) | any `.astro` file |
| [`theming.md`](.agents/rules/theming.md) | any colour, font, or spacing value |
| [`componentization.md`](.agents/rules/componentization.md) | creating or splitting a component |
| [`animation.md`](.agents/rules/animation.md) | any motion, transition, or transform |
| [`accessibility.md`](.agents/rules/accessibility.md) | any interactive element |
| [`content-i18n.md`](.agents/rules/content-i18n.md) | any user-visible string |
| [`code-style.md`](.agents/rules/code-style.md) | always |
| [`git-worktrees.md`](.agents/rules/git-worktrees.md) | starting or finishing a task |
## 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`](.agents/context/design-system.md) before
touching any CSS.
