Comments across the tree justified the code by pointing at a Rust
implementation that is no longer in the repository, citing files and line
numbers (config.rs:132, schema.rs:26-54, reader.rs:42) that cannot be
opened, plus crates and datasets that are equally gone. A reader could not
check any of it.
Every invariant those comments carried is kept and restated so it stands on
its own: the bytewise sort that decides which row survives a duplicate exam
number, the literal U+0300..U+036F range that must match the site's toAscii,
the trailing space in "SINH ", the BIFF and shared-string corrections, the
VACUUM-after-COMMIT rule, the deploy-from-main guard.
The reader's contract is now anchored to the frozen oracle in
parser/testdata, which still exists and is still checked, rather than to the
tool that originally produced it.
TestDDLMatchesRust becomes TestDDLIsFrozen: it compares against a copy of
the DDL inside the test and never read schema.rs, so both the name and the
failure message were misleading.
ToAscii no longer claims the d-replacement must precede lowercasing. Both
cases map to 'd' and ToLower runs last, so the order has no effect.
The repository now reads as the pipeline it is: crawler fetches, parser
converts, assembler verifies and publishes, with data/ and web/ as the stores
they hand work through. go-parser is renamed parser now that there is no other.
The assembler replaces build-db.js and assemble-site.js. It compiles the
parser, builds and verifies each database, compresses it, runs the Vite build
and assembles _site — one command, and the only place that knows the order.
It also closes a real hole: nothing previously asserted that a database reached
the site. An empty staging directory assembled happily, so every page rendered,
every query 404d and CI stayed green. The row-count and size guards could not
catch that, since they only run when a database was built at all.
Removing Node from the root forced the dataset list out of web/src/datasets.js,
which the assembler cannot import. datasets.json is now the registry both sides
read — JSON because Go and the browser both parse it without a dependency —
while presentation stays in the web app, keyed by id and cross-checked against
the registry so a half-added dataset fails instead of half-working.
Guards verified by making each one fail: a missing database, and an expected
row count one higher than the truth.
